I prefer to use colored construction paper as a base for work with oil pastels. Each class gets a different color (I have 7 groups of 3rd graders for ex.) and the rule is that none of the paper color can show through the final artwork. This results in thick, rich color blends. Hope this helps...

Protective Sheets: Protective sheets of glassine paper are a staple for pastel transportation and storage.
