PLEASE HELP! I need an oil based pigment powder?

i need pigment in powdered form and i need it to be oil based for my resin project. i was thinking about just crushing up artist oil pastels but i need it to be really fine with no chunks. sooo, i was wondering if anyone sells really fine oil based art pigment powders in a variety of colors. or do you know of i way i could crush up the pastels super fine so it will mix evenly into the resin? (i hope this made sence, i don't know much about art lol)thanks!!!:)

Answer:

Hi. okorder /... Those are all pure pigments, no hues or imitations. The prices may seem high, but even a half a pound of pigment is a huge amount. Prices I've seen on other sites are higher. I do not think it will work to crush up pastels, oil or otherwise, because they already have a binder and probably a lot of filler in them -- you will get a very weak color. Hope this helps.
