Oil Pastels vs Oil Sticks?

What's the difference between oil pastels and oil sticks? (also known as oil bars or pigment sticks)
What about water soluble oil pastels?
In this video I will explain the differences between oil bars, oil pastels and even water soluble oil pastels and show you how you can use them!
I will demonstrate using them on a few different pieces to show you what you can do with them.
