What are the main differences between wax pastels and oil pastels, and which one would be more suitable for my art project?

The main differences between wax pastels and oil pastels are the binder used in each. Wax pastels use a wax binder, while oil pastels use an oil binder. Oil pastels are more vibrant and blendable, while wax pastels have a matte finish and are easier to layer. For your art project, if you want vibrant colors and easy blending, oil pastels would be more suitable. If you prefer a matte finish and layering, wax pastels would be a better choice.
