Hi guys! Hope you enjoy today's video! :) I had so much fun making this video and creating some paintings with oil pastels! Definitely let me know if you use oil pastels for your art or if you would be interested to try this medium in the future! :)
I loved listening to your narrative and perspective as you talked through what you liked and noticed. You also discussed your frustrations but spoke in a way that gave yourself room for improvement! "I just need more practice" or "I just need to remember for next time..." Thank you for the positive, growth mindset language! It made me want to actually use the oil pastels when that's not a medium I would ever consider. Thank you!
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your amazing comment!! I always try to make my videos positive and motivational because that's the mindset I like to convey even when things get difficult! As artists we all face ups and downs but I really believe that with a positive mindset you can overcome anything :) and it just made me so happy that you were able to recognize that in my video!
I tried oil pastels in art class in highschool but I started to actually desire to master the skill of painting with oil painting and pastels. I also noticed the oil pastels in highschool we're not as oily as the ones in my art kit. I have various media but I have not used the oil pastels or paint it since I bought it. I decided since it was a expensive art set or kit, I wanted to look into techniques using oil painting and pastels before practicing in my sketchbooks. Thank you for sharing your techniques. I am most experienced with graphite and charcoal and somewhat experienced with acrylic. This winter I am planning to work with different media from graphite more realist art to marker, oil, clay, and water color paint and pencil. Working with not so new and new media will help me focus on improvement during the colder weather when it is not so comfortable to travel or stay outside. 🤗❤️👍🏾💯
I just ordered this set last week and look forward to playing with them as I never have before. It’s a very different medium than anything else I have ever used. Thank you for sharing and I have subscribed.
Thank you Sandra for this wonderful tutorial and encouragement. When I use oil pastels with a palette knife I warm them in the microwave for 10-15seconds to make them more pliable..
Hi Sandra, thank you for your reply. I put the oil pastels in the microwave on LOW for that time, they only have enough time to soften a little. if they were in there at a higher temperature for longer I would expect them to melt and give off fumes..
I love oil pastels so much! I've not used them much yet, but I've got two sets of Mungyo Gallery oil pastels waiting for when I have the time and energy really dive into a new medium. I really need to set up an art space in my apartment, I just don't use my stuff enough since everything's always put away... Anyway. I've been thinking about getting the Paul Rubens oil pastel set of pastel shades. I don't need another "standard" set, I already have that, but I'd love to compare the Paul Rubens and Mungyo Gallery Artists' oil pastels! I liked how you used the palette knives, too, I hadn't thought of using them with oil pastels! I'm definitely going to get a couple to play around with, it looks really interesting.
Lovely video Sandra! The Paul Rubens oil pastels are pretty interesting I think because pretty much all less expensive oil pastels I've heard from seem to be pretty hard and I really prefer the softer ones! Also, your paintings are beautiful!
Thank you so much Jana for your kind words! That's good to know! you know, I have little experience with oil pastels so I wasn't sure if most oil pastels are supposed to be hard or soft, I guessed there can be both types but definitely the soft oil pastels from paul rubens are really good quality! :)
Thanks So much! For sharing! your beautiful art & techniques😊✨ Such Beautiful oil pastel paintings!💗 I`m getting back into my art, and wanted to try oil pastels for texture in my paintings. ✨ I want to create a oil pastel painting of sunflowers & water scene with dolphins. I love the range of colours in these oil pastels. So happy to find Your channel, and looking forward to more of your art tutorials. Namaste 💞🙏💞✨🎨
I own Sennelier and Caran d ache oil pastels and bought the Paul Rubens because of their Macaron Set with very pastel colors. They are really soft. While the don’t reach the color pay off of the Sennelier and Caran d ache they are really nice for their price. I tried cheaper ones ( Van Gogh, Pentel) which were quite disappointing. You can use a color shaper tool to blend them. I use them for mindless mark making and the pure fun of using them.
Thank you for your informative and inspiring tutorial. I found this video very helpful as the information is in the order from the oil pastel techniques through to a finished painting.
Thanks for reviewing these. I bought them and they're beautiful. I also got the pearlescent / metallic ones. They're pretty cool. Thanks again and have an amazing day
I'm wanting to get into oil pastels, and I'm deciding between these, Mungyo Gallery, and maybe Sennelier. Something that's creamy but still has some firmness to it.
I purchased a few small sets of oil pastels several years ago, but never used them. This morning I saw the photo on my feed of this video and immediately pulled out my sets to play with! After watching this video, I am excited to give them a try. Do you know how long it takes for them to cure so that they won’t smear?
Oil pastels never dry. They might firm up a little, bit they don't dry. You can use an oil pastel fixative that Sennelier sells or cover with glassine or tracing paper to prevent smearing.
If u don’t know, u can use the oil pastels, use the tool and cut slices of it(yes it works) and make mini strokes on the painting and make things like flowers, clouds, etc….. To give it a 3D style!:)
I've been using oil pastels though I'm not a pro 😅 but I didn't know that palette knife can be used for this medium too, thanks for the ideas! I just want to ask if Paul Rubens oil pastels are lightfast? I want to try it too but I'm not sure regarding its lightfastness

I love oil pastels. One of my favourite mediums along with oil paints.

Brand new to oil pastels and I love them! My first piece with this medium is now my profile pic.

Hi! Where have you been? I miss your videos ❤ I hope you’re doing well
All 3 of the paintings turned out beautifully. I just got a set of oil pastels and can't wait to play. :) Have a peaceful day.
I like it, I have some that I’ve rarely used. This was great
Thank you for this inspiration. I love the way you use the pastels with a knife. I'm looking forward to trying these products.

They are such an underrated medium.

That looked like so much fun and turned out just lovely !
Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful! I haven't used oil pastels, but this made it so appealing. I love Paul Ruben's products. I do watercolor and also have soft pastels.
Thank you Sandra for this wonderful tutorial and encouragement. When I use oil pastels with a palette knife I warm them in the microwave for 10-15seconds to make them more pliable..
wouldn’t this release toxic fumes?
Hi Sandra, thank you for your reply. I put the oil pastels in the microwave on LOW for that time, they only have enough time to soften a little. if they were in there at a higher temperature for longer I would expect them to melt and give off fumes..
@@Jenny-yl2hw thanks but im not Sandra😅😅😅

What type of fixative or varnish do you use? It's a question, thank you for your video and your answer.
You make it look so easy but I know it’s not. Beautiful work. Are the pastels crumbly when using?
I've been using oil pastels though I'm not a pro 😅 but I didn't know that palette knife can be used for this medium too, thanks for the ideas!
I just want to ask if Paul Rubens oil pastels are lightfast? I want to try it too but I'm not sure regarding its lightfastness
💚💛🧡💙😀
Some of mine are really hard and hard to blend and I’m not sure why they come away from the paper when I try to blend them
Make more pastel art and I will subscribe
Okay i have not, us Oil pastel well maybe one time look like they will be good doing people's pets
Why did she stop posting
