I tried my first oil pastel drawing the other day and can confirm that smooth paper wasn't the best choice. Blending was very awkward and layering was impossible. After testing the same pastel on more textured paper it gave a completely different result, almost like a different brand.
I've also found that matt clear varnish is good for layering them, as well as fixating the final drawing. Given that oil pastel never dry. It also smooths out the crumbs out and makes the strokes looks more brush like.
I am a beginner with oil pastel and I learned a lot from you since last March 2020. Thanks a lot for your advices and tips! Love your videos! Up to now, I am using with Cray-Pas juniors and Cray-Pas Expressionist oil pastels mainly, at the end I may use a bit of Sennelier for a smooth look and to pop up some skin tones areas. I am having great success with portraits on Fabriano Watercolour cold-press 100% cotton extra-white, 300lb with 640gsm (size 12X14/30X36cm). Futhermore I am using rubber colour shapers (Royal Sovereign Ltd-UK no:1 & 6) by cutting the edge as round blender tools. The artwork looks fabulous just like oil painting fine art. And I am using the polychromos colours and aquarellable Stabillo All pencils (black, yellow and red) for paper-glass-plastic-metal on the oil pastel in softly way for fine details of the portraits during the process by adding oil pastels layerings for modeling the features. For more details of my artworks with oil pastels, see my publications on Facebook for public. Eventually I will use the Liquitex /glossy medium varnish when my portraits will hard enough to preserve them from scratches. I don’t think that I should use epoxy resine on them due to the thin layers of oil pastels which it is more easier to harder on this watercolour cold press paper with this particular technic of using colour shapers as blender tools. Hope these tips may be helpful to every beginners and artists as well! Good luck :O) !!!
Thanks for all those great tips Danyel!! :o)
I’ve been experimenting with lots of different paper lately and I’m loving Stonehenge Aqua coldpress for oil pastels. I’m using inexpensive and expensive oil pastels together. The inexpensive pastels look so nice on this paper. I add my more expensive pastels as finishing touch. Really beautiful results.
Thanks so much for all of your generous time and information about oil pastels. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos. I’m new to oil pastels and you are so lovely to help us out.💕
Thanks for your kind words, it means a lot! And I'm curious to try the Stonehenge Aqua paper... I will give it a try :)
@@SyndiaArt You’re so welcome! I’ve been having so much fun painting portraits with oil pastels. I don’t know what I’m doing but loving it 🤷🏻♀️. I’m a watercolor artist and I was gifted oil pastels years ago. I was excited to use them as little touches in watercolor paintings but I can’t stop playing and arting with them.
Have you tried the Paul Rubens oil pastels? They have a standard set of 48 plus pastel color set and I think a metallic set. I got the pastel colors and I just love them. You are so right about using good paper.
I saw the gallery soft pastels on Amazon warehouse for 18.89 and grabbed them today. I needed a basic set of colors.
I’m kind of obsessed with oil pastels lately.😂 Using Sennelier pastels as a finishing touch really is icing on cake. So beautiful.
I love your art and you are so lovely and inspiring.💕
@@susansacco7583 Thanks for the tip on Paul Rubens, I haven't tried them...
Hi- yes, Paul Rubens oil pastels are very creamy and mix nicely.
I canceled my order for galley soft pastels 48 set and thinking that I may order the Paul Rubens set of 48 instead. There aren’t a lot of crumbs with Paul Rubens brand and I love working with creamy pastels. 💕
You are perfectly right, Syndia about the Somerset paper with oil pastel which we buy it to Omer DeSerre everywhere in Québec. And according to my own experience, I love very much to work on watercolour thick board such 300gsm and 650gsm such as Fabriano Artistico, which can take a lot layers as we can use for blending any oil diluants for oil paintings, essence or térébenthine 🙃 I discovered more your paper is thicker more you can do layers in a confortable way 😇! Personally I find than any canvas papers for acrylic and oil paintings are very good as well as. Furthermore, you can use the other side in order of doing a lot of layerings also 😉!
I use Strathmore toned tan and toned gray for all my oil pastel drawings it works amazing , even you can give it a try once. Like your videos and Lots of love from India 🌷😊. God bless 🌼
Thanks for the suggestion! Have a great week ahead :o)
@@SyndiaArt You know that it's really great about you and I love that you reply 😊 no matter how old the video is , I always wait for your videos especially oil pastels it helped me a lot .
For Layering of Oil Pastels Use WATERCOLOR SHEETS
thank you for your advance！！ I immediately tried my rubens and it worked way better on oil pastel paper！！
I use the canson water color paper. Works pretty good
Hi Syndia. I was looking for a video for my sister who is going to start using the Mungyo that I am giving her. I am asking her to watch your videos since they are the best i have found. I am an experimenter and have bought too many oil pastel brands (Craypas, Pentel, Caran D'Ache, Mungyo, and now Sennilier)...so I am giving up my Mungyo set since my second best that I use is the Caran D'Ache. Mungyo are wonderful to use while I was learning...and love that you use them as well. Anyway, I found during my last few months, I really like Strathmore's 400 Series Heaveyweight drawing paper. I did some 14x17 still life oil pastel paintings in school using the paper and the finished products came out gorgeous...they are being shown in a gallery. I also have tried some Fluid 100% cotton water color paper and the oil pastels work well. Strathmore as you know, is easily found...Fluid paper can only be purchased online. Thank you for your wonderful review of paper...and all your wonderful videos. Very calming to watch and very easy to follow!
Thank you so much for your paper recommendations! Very appreciated :o) Have a great weekend ahead!
For Mungyo oil pastel what’s the best choice for paper please 🙏🏻
Now l made a list of oil pastel papers
oh my, thank you so much for all the information! I've been using the wrong type of paper all the time and was wondering why the layers wouldn't stay on it. I thought it had to do with the pastels, but now I see I've been doing stuff wrong lol.
And if You Are Using Student Grade Oil Pastels USE THE SHEETS WITH SMOOTH SURFACE. SHEETS USED FOR DRAWING AND SKETCHING 👍
Thanks for the tip :o)
This one is important and it took me a while to realize pastel and crayon do better with paper without much teeth. Watercolor and watercolor pencils are best on #400 pound paper, for the most part.
Very interesting and well presented videos Syndia. Well done and keep them coming. I find that using a pastel primer (its colourless) on a 250 gsm gram paper taped down to prevent it buckling works well.
Do you use a spray primer? Is it like a "workable fixative" or something different?
Pastel primer is applied to the surface before you start. It can be applied with a sponge brush or an ordinary paintbrush - I find a sponge brush is better because it doesn't leave brush marks which could show up especially if you are using soft pastels and not oil pastels. Various companies make it . Colourfix is available on Amazon in colourless or in various colours if you prefer.
cool thanks I will look it up!
Very helpful video ,thanks.
Esp since I am new to pastels both oil and dry.
Thanks I'm glad it helped! :)
Hahnemühle sketch/pastel ,paper acid free and 100% cotton rag. It’s very good
THANKS! I will note that :o) Have a good week ahead!
Syndia Art thanks you too. I enjoy your videos a lot they are very informative and I feel calm whenever I watch them. There are not that many educational Videos on oil pastels. Thank you for the effort you put into them ☺️😁
@@sarahashleyturner26 Thanks for your kind words it means a lot! :o)
Wouldn't a cold pressed paper with natural grain work good? For pastels in general you want something with more tooth to it so the pastels have something to grab to.
For dry pastel maybe more than oil pastel. I don't think I love very toothy paper personally. I like porous paper the most I think like Somerset but I have to test more. I know that pastel paper like Canson Mi-teinte has too many grooves for my liking but like you said maybe a good cold pressed paper would work. I have to keep testing.
I love your videos. I'm new to oil pastels and am having a ball learning. I intend to buy the Mungyo's soon. I have Artist Loft oil pastels now. (YUCK). Thank you for all of the good info.
Thanks so much Amy! I'll keep pumping them out :) I have many oil pastel videos planned. Have a great weekend!
ive been planning to purchase mungoyos artist pastels, but i also like using canson mixed media paper for sketching and watercolour. would the mungoyos react well the the canson paper?
Canson Mix Media is a really good all around paper! I do recommend :o)
Syndia Art thank you :)
Amei seu vídeo, Também amo pintar com pastel oleoso.😊💖🇧🇷👍🔔🙋🎨🖌🖼🌹
thanks for the review !
No problem!
In other video you said that it's better to invest in paper. But artists pastels with Bristol paper looks much better than students pastels with Somerset paper, while the first combination is much cheaper.
Can i run sand paper instead to run on the smooth paper if have fabriano and canson cagrain to make them accept oilpastel better?
If you are Using Artist Grade Oil Pastels I would Recommend Any Brand Watercolor Sheets of At least 250 gsm or 300 gsm. It Will be BEST FOR LAYERING 👍
And If You Are Using Student Grade Oil Pastels I Recommend Sketching and Drawing Sheets Of Brustro Of 200 gsm. It has Medium Surface and Best for Oil Pastels Also. 👍
Great video. Thanks 🎨🖌♥️
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great week :o)
I love paper Canson Iris.
I should give that one a try!
I love the way you are doing your videos which are very informative, interesting and complete always! Would you tell me please, what is the fabrication paper of Somerset? Is it a watercolour paper with cotton? It is very hard to obtain this type of paper in my area, what brand of paper might be it’s equivalent?
If you use paper with some cotton in it, it would work very well. For everyday paper the Mix Media sketchbook by Canson is a really good option or any watercolor paper that doesn't have too much grain (tooth). Good luck :o)
Is the somerset paper just their typical 175 Gr paper for print making? And have you found your ultimate pastel paper yet?
Yes exactly. My preferred paper is Somerset but mixed media paper does a really good job as well.
I use canson mixed media n daler rowney simply stretch canvas cuz i liek how it look... i also feel dat da canvas also make da pastel get used faster
I use Canson Mix Media as well! It's a good quality for the price. I have the XL sketchbook :) That's the one I used in my Poppy flower tutorial.
i use strathmore drawing paper and i really like it but i want to do something very big now so i am looking for a different paper that comes in A 2. based on some reviews i bought a pad of paint ON noir multitechniques , 250 grms by clairefontaine, look quality paper but, i don`t know why, the oil pastels (mungyo) do not stick to the paper and, when layered, tend to become grainy and patchy. never had this problem before, help . love your videos
Sorry to hear that... I would try another paper. Most mixed media papers work well and watercolor paper is also good. Or test your oil pastel on a regular piece of printer paper you already have to make sure it's not an issue with your OP (drying out). Good luck :o)
@@SyndiaArt thank you, mungyo oil pastels and i was love at first sight, as i said they only let me down with that multitechniques paper. looking forward for your next video
Today I found that my cotton mixed media paper makes my staedtler student grade oil pastels look good. Way better than my bristol vellum paper
Paper makes such a difference!! :o)
I use watercolor paper but I like to start with a wet media background. Do you use water soluble oil pastels?
I've never tried them...
I like using mixed media
That's nice
What about 98lb canson mixed media paper for pentel oil pastels?
Yes it's pretty good!
I like Fabriano
and or (Dessere
s branded) mixed media paper. Have you tested it? Thanks.
Not yet. I have some Fabriano paper for watercolor, have you tired that one? I also have a black Fabriano sketchbook that I have to try. Deseres, you're in Montreal? :)
yes verdun lol. Fabriano mixed media is thicker like a card. The Deserres is a bit thinner I think.
Oh cool! I'll check it out :) (I lived in LaSalle for a good while). My favorite tea house is in Verdun :) Cha Noir!
Does oil pastels work good on a extra large canson mix media,multi technique,sketch pad
Yes it does :o)
Can they work on watercolor papers??? I only have watercolor papers and Im too broke to buy another kind of paper since i need to order it online and the shipping is more expensive than the product. (plus I just bought oil paints🤦♀️😭)
Yes they will :o)
Arches 100% Cotton watercolor paper?
Never tried it... sounds really good though!! :) That's an amazing quality paper $$$
Where did you buy sumerset paper please tell me
At my local art supply store, it is sold by extra large sheets.
Hi, thanks for sharing. Where to find somerset paper? Is that good for water soluble oil pastels?
I never tried water soluble oil pastels, but I should :o) Somerset is sold in large single sheets at pretty much any fine art supply stores.
Keep it up..
Thanks Mona! :)
Syndia you deserve more ... More than more
Where can I buy the somerset paper?
Blick art supplies :o)
And what is their brand name?
