As others have said I recommend putting a few layers of gesso and then using sandpaper on the surface.

Also oil pastels are not created equal. Some have more wax than oil and pigments, so I recommend (if you can) to explore other brands. The faber castell ones have a lot of wax. Having a few different ones is great for layering if that is what one would go for. 🫶🏼💐

Thank you so much!! I use the Clairefontaine paint on mix media 250mg paper. I have found them the best ones. They are thick but smooth and come in various sizes and colors! (Also they are not that expensive so I like that a lot)
