I like the term "visually stimulating." One day I'll be able to paint loose and impressionistic but today I'm still a bit too tight. That's okay though, it's part of my artistic journey.
It's hard for me to be loose too but I needed to try to break away from the crazy detailed things I've painted in the past. This one took me 2 days and I'm reasonably happy with it. Good Luck on your journey.
I think the best thing is don't fuss. I found my best work is moving fast just letting go. When I don't care an start out as just practice I end up doing my best work.
This was awesome and your tips were great! You sold me on mixed media! I’ll stop being such an oil pastel purist and stop fighting to get skinny tree branches in the distance with a thick oil pastel. I loved the hints about throwing in opposite shades to make a color richer, too. It really does work.
Yes! As always, you pack your tutorials with advice about composition, media color/theory & the best way to save money while still getting the desired results. ( Your "frugal crafter" title still holds, LOL!!)
I have seen Marla Baggetta and Alain Picard carve out trees with “sky holes” in soft pastels, I believe that you can do the same thing with oil pastels! So those twiggy details are not an impossible feature with these mediums!
I just bought oil pastels and followed along with your tutorial. All your tips about blending and using contrasting colors were just enough to help make my first pair a success! Can’t wait to keep going with this medium!
Please continue with more oil pastel videos! I enjoyed this a lot, and I have the Paul Rubens pastels that were on super discount on Prime Day, so I’m happy for the inspiration. Thank you for all the artistry and teaching, Lindsay! Your lemons perfectly glow with translucence- maybe have a video about how to achieve that in watercolor, colored pencils and oil pastel media?
Always in awe of your abilities, knowledge, skill and the way you SEE. Not to mention your willingness to share all that with us. I always learn from you. This is beautiful and thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! Thanks for all the tips, you are always great about giving them. I've struggled with oil pastels in the past and given up trying to use them but you've given me inspiration to try again--thanks Lindsay!
I've tried oil pastels many times and could never get it to work for me. I even have some Senelier's thinking a better pastel would be the trick. Not sure why I never thought that a mixed media approach might be the way to go. Thanks for the great ideas. Great painting.
LEMONS.....reminds me of the long, glorious days of summer....and, the short season it truly is. Your beautiful mixed media picture also brings to mind organic lemon juice in water....SO HEALTHY...the pretty lemon wreath that I never bought....and the positive quality of sunshine.😃🍋😃
This was so informative - I had to pause several times to take notes of things you said about using Oil Pastels, coloured pencils, etc. Thank you so much. The lemons are so beautiful....I loved this.
First time pastel user. I'm checking out different tutorials. Ur tip about using colored pencils is 🔥. I've been getting frustrated with my projects when I can't keep/get sharper lines. I had almost succumbed to believing I was only going to do impressionist art with the pastels. 😆 Thanks!
I liked this so much I watched it twice! I haven't used oil pastels since High school, but can't imagine any colored pencil would work over them, but somehow you make it work!
I love your philosophy with mixing media! Thanks for all the tips. Loved when you added your prisma. I’m looking forward to following along in critique club. Thanks Lindsay!
This turned out great! I love the luminosity of the lemon pulp!!! I haven’t tried oil pastel and don’t know if it’s in my future but the mixed media tips and watching you make this beautiful art work was a joy!
It’s so fun! I have both the PR and the mungyo, of the two I favor the mungyo the formula is more consistent than the set of PR I have is. That being said I love love love the colors I have in the PR set and was thrilled to get them at an absolute steal when I bought them. I’ve used paper blending stumps and the rubber tool and I love how little mess there is with the rubber tool over the stumps. I cannot for the life of me get them to blend with my fingers though, lol maybe I’ll try her glove tip as it’s totally possible it is a texture issue, I don’t even touch soft pastels or chalk for that very reason lol.
Thanks for showing and telling us why the use of as many tones as possible and the use of the funny words muggles...Lol It brings the focus of the viewer back as their mind starts to multitask the why's and how's instead of just listening and visualizing! 🤗❤️👍🏾💯
I,yesterday mixed oil pastels, Pitt pastel pencils & polychromos together it gave such joy! And, as you say not all hues are in the Sortiment, fun! Like the painting.Thanks
This work is beautiful Lindsay. I've just bought some oil pastels so it was great to see this tutorial to have a look at what else I can do with them. Would love to see more x
beautiful lots of ideas with smudging, i'm using an aqurelle and using it like a water colour...so i might try it your way for a little difference thank you
Your lemons turned out so lovely. Did your finger hurt blending the oil pastels out on the sanded surface? Do you prefer to use your fingers to blend them or those tools?
I like exploding colours and using their base colours- so jnstead of using green to shade an area i would use blue over the yellow and when i blend it turns green. Ki d of the same way you use the compliment to make a neutral. ❤ loved watching this! ❤
I absolutely LOVE your videos where you're doing art or crafting. It seriously makes my day better. This is beautiful. I can't get over how this looks like it's light up and glowing. Very informative. Thanks for all you do!
Absolutely gorgeous! I think I need a glass of fresh lemonade! Thanks for all the tips, never thought to use prismacolor pencils with oil pastels. I might just have to try this, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this video. I recently bought some paul rubens and have been too intimidated to even use them yet. You make it look so easy, and I just love how yours turned out. I'm definitely going to get mine out and have a play!
I like to spray a layer of gesso onto my paper. It makes blending a lot easier. I got my hand on Ghiant transparent gesso in a spray can, so I can preserve the color of the paper. The spray can in the absence of an air gun helps me to quickly apply an even coat without the need for sanding. Using fewer layers helps to preserve the structure of the paper, adding more grip but the oil and wax on the surface instead of seeping into the paper, thereby forming a stronger bond. With the wax and oils staying on the surface it lowers the resistance hence the pigments glide on the surface much easier. At least that's my theory. 😀
Your oil pastel paintings always inspire me to pull mine out! I think I will grab a sheet of my 400 grit sandpaper from the hardware store and give it a try! For funzees!💜💜💜

In case anyone is interested, I found a watercolor paper today from Bee Paper Company. Not sure if it’s the same bee paper I’ve heard others talk about loving or not. But I got some just in case it is the same. It was at Walmart and was just under $10 usd for 50 sheets.
