From what I understand, Holbeins are not distributed in Europe. But you should be able to get Caran D'ache. I didn't know Koh-i-noor made oil pastels, they're not available over here.

This is the smooth side of Canson Mi Teintes. My method is simply to lay down colors and blend them with the tortillon (blending stump). To correct errors, you can scrape off the oil pastel with a palette knife, razor blade, or your fingernail. Then go right over top with more oil pastel. There are many different techniques you can use. I'd recommend the book called "Oil Pastel for the Serious Beginner" by John Elliot. He is pretty much the authority on this medium.
