We asked a Product Information Team member about this tip, and they said that, while oil pastels do include non-drying oils like mineral oil in their formulation, adding so much to a paper object would certainly lead to oil migrating through the paper into matting and framing, sketchbook pages, and just about everything it comes in contact with. Artists using this method should consider interleaving a grease-resistant sheet like glassine if finished work will be in in a sketchbook or stack of drawings
Wow. Thanks!

*so much anger radiated off him, it was silent but we could tell it was there*
Yeah 💀
Agreed
Yeah i saw his hope being played lol 😂
Yes XD
Lol-
It is almost encouraging in a way to see an artist I really like struggle with things. Especially on social media it seems like only the cream of the crop gets posted, so it's cool to see and remember that even the best artists screw up and struggle sometimes
So true
Agreed ... I struggle so much with water color but I am good with oil pastels ... this sorta balances the force for me 🤣❤
True, im good at sketching but a not good at coloring it like water colors. Slowly but surely il probably learn how.
@@antoniojoaquin2425 same. But I realized I need to give myself time and not feel too precious about my sketches, eventually we will learn the ropes and strokes. Good luck to us!
@@KhadaJhin04 yeah thanks man, good luck on your journey.
I used this tip in art class. The key is to use very little baby oil. Just lightly dip the q-tip in the baby oil then dab it on a paper towel. You don’t want to drench your art:)
Agree…he took it to the extreme🙄obviously didnt really want to try it.
@@juststartingover2735in his defense, nobody gave him instructions
@@juststartingover2735 Jeez he was never told an exact amount of baby oil to use.
@@juststartingover2735if he didn't really want to try it I don't think he would have gone to do it, but it's not as simple as just using however much you want, if he didn't know how much to use it doesn't matter how he used it, he would only get it right by chance. Especially if someone made him feel like you "just add baby oil" you likely wouldn't even look up how much because it seems like someone would have just added the words "a little" to that sentence
I would have asked or researched how much to use and methods of doing it. If not that, doesn't common sense tell you to start with a little?
Paint thinner works just as well!! I use it all the time with my oil pastels
Hey Scott I really mean this in a kind way but I really like watching u struggle with oil pastels. I really enjoy seeing your failures instead seeing your masterpieces. It reminds me that we are all on our individual art journeys, and art is a never ending learning process.
Am I a joke to you? Do I amuse you? Like a clown?
Ha ha.
I'm happy you're enjoying this. Honestly... so am I. I love trying new things and failing miserably.
@@ssavaart lmao- we just enjoy you struggling
As a young artist
It kinda reminds me of us as humans who fails and later turn them into masterpiece
Thank you for being Here on youtube
Please as a young artist teach us more on how to work with watercolors like u do
As a student i can't really take extra classes of painting due to school , tuctions , home work , self study , etc
So i depend of CZcams shorts for tips
You are the best one i have found
But i do struggle as my painting always turns our dark instead of light like yours
Any tips please ? Is it the paper quility or just my cheap watercolours ?
@@lan_zhan7141 It could be either. Are you working lightest colors to darkest?
Have you tried drying the paint before coming in with the next paint?
@@ssavaart you scare me
@@lan_zhan7141 I watercolor as well! Can verify. Apply your lightest colors first, __especially__ when using watercolor (do the same with gouache too though). Go in later, layer-after-layer, with slightly darker colors and shades.
Also, watering down your pigment helps! I suggest watering it down separate from the page, since that will make it take longer to dry, will most likely make it harder to control, and may damage the paper or the paint around the spot you're working on.

“Q-tip and baby oil.”
Sounds like a combo used for dealing with dead skin on your lips.
Pencils don't work with oil pastels at all! Here's a tip: Instead of using pencils to sketch out, it's more advisable to use a light grey oil pastel or any light base colour of your choice to sketch things out (like yellow or pink).
A small addition: You can scrape away the colours if you either make a mistake or want to add another layer of colours! People also like to add a bit of hatching, squiggly or swirly line textures on their artwork by using toothpicks!
thanks bestie
I do a similar thing with coloured pencils, sketch with a skintone colour (assuming it's a person) rather than graphite because graphite makes everything muddy :)
Yesss, lets make scott suffer more with them oil pastels
*grins mischievously*
Wow thanks! 🙏🏻😊
This is the advice he needed
thiese are exactly the stages i went through when i stared oil pastels 6 years ago. then eventually comes the actually making it look good part. haven't gotten there but I'll tell you when it happens
Love this, true artist mentality
6 years ago but ill get there eventually 💀
nah cause same me with oil paints 💀
Here's a ❤ for moral support 😆
You can do it! :)
If you stared for 6 years u must have very dry eyes by now
Yeah, no, Oil pastels, and pastels in general, are meant to be blended. You can add a small amount of mineral oil to make blending easier, but just using a blending stick or your finger is usually enough to get it to blend nicely. A heat gun can also be employed to soften the pastel on the page if you want it to blend more readily. Having said that, if you really want to use oil pastels and get a more paint-like experience, just buy softer oil pastels. The better quality ones use more pigment and less mineral stabilizers, so they can feel a bit more like you're trying to draw with lipstick, but they go on extremely smooth and blend readily.
it's the fact that you're awkward willing to learn something new that Lewis me watching. You're a teacher and student, and you do both well
Always* not "awkward", and "keeps", not "lewis." Ahh autocorrect. A gift and a curse. Thanks for decrypting that anyway lol.

Same. That papers got to be seeping baby oil onto other parts of the book.

Ya definetly
It's so inspiring to see that some of the best artists also struggle at times, no matter how perfect their works are. Thanks for the honesty sir, we respect you! ❤
That’s how I feel every time I try a CZcams hack 😆
A few tips I find help:
-Use paper with less grit unless you are aiming for a certain texture
-baby oil does work but that was a large amount! Work in super small dowses and replace q tips every time you move onto a new spot
- a Kleenex that is lightly dampened can help blend other larger spots
-use an x-acto knife to pick up crayon you don’t want, or to add details designs/texture
-burnishing with the oil pastels is a good way to practice at first to understand the limits they have. I like to blend with my thumb too!
Hope this helps
YESSS!!! Exactly! I was thinking that probably the main component was the texture of the paper. Definitely made for water retention, hence the texture.
I use Bristol paper for oil pastels. It has virtually no tooth at all. I’ve never used oil, but blend with tortillons and twists of paper. Letting the pastel “cure” for a couple of days between layers helps, too, and instead of having a crayon-like drawing you can achieve paint-like effects.
Q-tips don't absorb large amounts.
📌
@@WomenCallYouMoid you say this after seeing that huge glob of baby oil that went down on that eyebrow? 💀
His disappointment was unmeasurable and his day ruined, stop giving him pain he doesn't deserve it XD.
I really appreciate that you show us that you're just as human as the rest of us.
I had to do a whole art project with oil pastels during art, let’s just say being left handed with oil pastels was NOT fun
Oh! I feel your pain...
Big oof
I don't get it, if you're left handed why don't you start from the right side? And if you have to make it layer by layer, isn't that just a "having hands" problem??
@@chocolatbownie35 it's because we're often trained to go from left to right so it happens naturally
I GET YOUR STUGGLE IT SUCKS
I just made a pastel drawing and to blend, I used my fingers. They keep the oils in there and they get a nice smooth finish. Just make sure you have a lot of paper towel. I also use q-tips dipped in water to clean up the edges. Hope this helped!
I love this guy man...he just gives off a vibe of being a gentle and sweet peron
It reminded me of that Jesus fresco restoration from several years back for a minute.
Edit; 1.7k likes? How?
I thought the same thing lmao
Bwahahahaha YES💀😭
for some reason i want to see him recreate this in his style 😂😂
That is a national treasure in my country
That was the level of skill he applied to this.
I would suggest trying layering when it comes to oil pastels! from what I've seen, its the buildup of colour that gives pieces made w/ oil pastels so colourful
Scott just using the baby oil
Meanwhile me:
Clock sound is relaxing
That one person whos introverted but tried to be extrovert
As a digital artist, I have zero input on if this was helpful for if this was a trick by the community lol.
It looked like it really hwlped
It does help, but I'm no oil pastel artist so I'm not sure
It helped with blending but he used way too much oil so it just picked up the pastel and rubbed it around, so when he dabbed in with the paper towel it wiped off the pastel reveling the pencil sketch. This is probably why it looks better because now it doesn't fully look like a blobby mess but still isn't really what oil pastel is meant to look like. I personally find oil pastel such a difficult and tedious medium due to how difficult blending is
@@llamasaurwithabiscuit5690 I usually just do the "go from dark to light and rub hard" technique
I'm pretty sure its supposed to help as long as you do it right, this is exactly how we blended the pastels we used in art class in 5th grade or something (I can't remember if we used oil pastels or not so we might not have used oil, but we definitely used q-tips to blend everything)
The “two simple things” you really need are quality pastels and pastel paper, it’ll make a big difference!
or just qtips without baby oil (also quality pastels)
And he has both you must not watch him
At that point why even use them ??
@@ElementX. because why not 😳
I agree, the right paper makes a big difference, and they aren't expensive at all.
There ain’t a lot in this world that Q-tips and baby oil can’t fix

it certainly didn't "blend", but you can start over with the same page!
Someone in the comments already said this but you should watch blackbean cms’s charcoal and pastel videos. He has a really unique style and he’s a great teacher!
omg that would be my two favourite artists coming together that would be so exciting
A good artist to watch an artist in a completely different field? 'great idea'
OMG I THOUGHT OF HIM TOO he is so phenomenal, i hope Mr Sava checks his channel out as well.
I love him so much!!!
Uh uh the point is he doesn't need to learn it he's already found his way through gouache and water colors so why even bother...
My dad is an expert at oilpastel he uses oil and qtips to blendcolors, he uses thick illustrations board so the surface doesnt soak or absorb the oil.
His application is controlled, and he uses cottons too for larger area.
After growing up and seeing other people use oil pastel.. i never seen someone done it like my dad did.. i thought it wasnt common.. until today. Thank you internet!
I do a lot of oil pastel drawings it takes a lot of practice but believe me when I say the work is worth it. When something comes out good with pastel it just looks so amazing. Keep trying 💚

certainly dont give up on oil pastels, when you start to feel it, it is so satisfying to draw with
it's not used for blending it just brings some shine on it

I've never heard such an enthusiastic and yet dead inside "ok" before
I recommend using a different kind of paper. Just the regular drawing paper would make the pastels go on smoother so it's not so textured.
Yes! The paper is key. I always used them on smooth paper.
Hot press!
To each their own :-) I like to use mine on watercolour paper because I find I can put more pastel on the page without the colour sliding around on the surface so soon. But that’s also because I really like the more oil painterly effect which I’ve found works for me!
True
When my art teacher in high school did the tips and baby oil, it worked. But I guess it takes practice and knowing what to do with it…like a lot of things in art. Tbh I forgot how to do it
Yep. It bothered me how he acted like the advice-givers were idiots when he couldn't apply skills or actual effort to the task.
Exactly. It takes PRACTICE. Not something people get on the first try. Idk why these commenters are acting like he's being disrespectful to the medium somehow. I'd love to see the art most of these people make 😮💨 in every medium on earth no doubt.
@@TamaraKane well they didn't exactly give him easy to follow instructions lmao, he makes little jokey videos with his audience there's no point getting upset with him
@@user-jb1mb5xh9t Not getting upset at all. 😂 Ya boi got upset.
@@TamaraKane where on earth did he act like his audience are idiots then lmao
At school, we used these. For school-grade cheapos, they were very silky and blended well. We just used our fingers and those paper blending things. To add more texture, we would scrape it off with wooden sticks (like the art ones, not just random sticks). The pastels layered well so depending on what color we wanted, we'd layer them and lightly scrape away the unwanted colors. The peices turned out great and it was all beginner friendly.
I tend to press hard while filling in the color, then I use paper towels folded up and move the color. Q tips with smaller areas, I’ve never used baby oil
Usually with oil pastels i use paper with lesser grain and it helps to build up details in layers. Portraits aren't really my forte but landscapes look beautiful with these
Yes to landscapes & nature scenes with oil pastels!
hello! so i’m a really big fan of oil pastels, and honestly using baby oil is the worst choice to blend oil pastels. first i think that the best way to really got a good blend is taking a tissue and putting it on the point of your finger or the point of a cotton swab and rub it very gently on the draw. another thing that help very much are very creamy and pigmented oil pastels. my favourite brand is mungyo gallery soft oil pastels. i think he as a really good quality and a very good price comparing to other pastels brands with the same quality. the brand that i most hate is faber castell’s oil pastels. they are very hard and almost not pigmented at all, and can still be more expensive than gallery’s oil. at last oil pastels are a very hard material to work with. it needs a really big amount of practice to really get it perfect. so with all in mind i really think that oil pastels are not bad at all, but they are not made to every type of artist. i hope this helps someone and really hope that you give a second chance to oil pastels, you won’t regret it!
Using a finger is also good as you can control it properly
Use glass marking pencil for border and illustrations
When a see your videos,I know there gonna be good
I like how it turns out. Some of the greatest art pieces were made by accident. That’s how they became so unique one offs. The different eyes is really cool. All about perspective😎
Your eyes are very striking and unique. I love them!
Wow. You're too kind. Thank you! ♥
👁 👄 👁
FR!
On god, reminds me of a kid in some way ngl
I was just thing the same thing. So pretty 🤭
My mom always told me to use a q-tip and just gently swirl to blend it out, "it's not a crayon don't push too hard, just smudge it" edit: wow I'm famous
2nd edit: my apologies to those upset by my previous edit, I know I'm not "famous" it's a trend, it'll be a trend, and you'll have to live with that, pick a comment in the thread & like it instead of commenting then, find a "I'm the 'she's not famous' button" and move on if it upsets you
Same but it was my art teacher who said it, pastels are really pigmented when pressed to hard
Ooh
@@thelovelyone7737 I was like 6 and got those cheap Crayola art sets with the markers pencils pastels paint and crayons- ig it wasn't cheap cheap, but yknow
Also use only enough to dampen, this guy soaked it. I think he wanted to destroy his picture.
@@AW-ln7us yep
You can use mineral spirits (less is more), but I’m partial to the little newsprint blending stubs. Pencil also muddies the colors. I have so many drawings where I didn’t erase my pencil lines enough and it just looks smudged. I’m also just really particular about the pastels I use. I like some nice, soft ones that you can blend easily.
Tbh, I'm someone who love oil pastels and whenever I do my art with oil pastels it always turn out to amazing. Don't give up on oil pastels fr
How dare they make oil out of babies.
Lmao
Hahahaha
@lyz uh (not lee suh) AYO
This is baby cruelty :(
They make powder out of them too, it's a really convenient way to not waste anything and both products have a really lovely, kinda sweet scent of everyone recognises...
Johnson's is the only baby oil in the universe, I can't be convinced otherwise
🤨
In Germany Penaten Baby Oil is way more common.
Yeah, but it's still funny that 99.99% percent of all videos feature only Johnson's
I didn't know any others existed
It broke my heart when I learned they don't use real babies to make their oil.
@@dsandoval9396 nope only artificial ones
I like the scrubbed, worn appearance, adding back some pastel in the hair would be great ❤
It's great that you're an old artist
i think you are only supposed to use a very small amount of baby oil to blend. i’ve never tried the baby oil but i saw one of my teachers using it
Yep and it also depends on the quality of the paper
I use baby oil or alcohol markers for my blending. The trick it to use as little as possible. He used waaayyy too much
To be fair. He is a mainly watercolor artist. So maybe he thought to use the same amount of media as watercolor for the oil pastels?
I love the quiet studio with just the clock ticking in the background! Such an acoustically wonderful space to escape to!!
Stranger things fans:WHATS SCOTTS FAVORITE SONG QUICK
there is… there is no clock… ITS VECNA

Love that its just quiet at the end and he is just so disapointed
For anyone who hasn't seen the first attempt....
czcams.com/users/shortsKlKajqOF61E
You have a he feeling that you've been played because you kinda have. I've been taking art for a while now and from my knowledge oil pastels are suppose to be blended with your finger or a regular tissue. But don't blend until it is completely smooth.
You used to much oil
You should have drawn a baby 0-0
I think you used too much baby oil. I've seen people use baby oil for colored pencils and crayons and you want the q tip to be so subtly damp it doesn't even look wet. Then, you use it as a blending stump. Hope this helps in any future art! (Disclaimer - I haven't done this much as I usually use alcohol to blend the colored pencils and crayons (and for the pencils I also use a colorless blender pencil)
Can you draw me
"What do you draw with?"
"Baby oil."
I LOVE BLACKBEAN UGH HIS STYLE IS SO UNIQUE
The ticking of clock, the silent hmmm in the end, blank eyes 😂 internal rageeee
Absolutely!! You got this! We used wax.(like clear boot polish) .and if its baby oil not quite so much lol..water solvable oil pastels are a thing too..LOVE your work and LOVED seeing you try something new !
He... didn't try.
I hv no experience in oil pastels but im guessing the baby oil was supposed to lift the color to allow you to blend them more smoothly. Its equivalent to using water on dried watercolor except you need oil bc its “oil” pastels. I also think dabbing the q tip w the oil first and applying to the page would hv more control than adding the oil straight on top.
It went from a masterpiece to something I’d make
I’ve found that the best tool for blending oil pastels (for me) is just a little wedge or square of heavy-duty paper, likely the same type I’m drawing on. Works much better than the smudging sticks you get at the store, and tends to be much better at working the medium into the tooth of the paper and getting a nice smooth transition between colors. I also generally like using pastels for more abstract art, but that’s just me and my style.
Tbh I think you should try a third time, New sketchy, new technique. Maybe try to play with the oil pastels and baby oil to see how much you really need.
it works but you just gotta find that balance
THANK GOD.
Although you applied too much oil and didn’t do it quite right, you’re getting there.
I totally freak out when people don’t know how to use oil pastels.
You literally *need the oil.*
I’ll have to try to do a tutorial or something, it’s a lot like charcoal in application, you would use the oil and qtip to lightly blend it *as you go.*
The clock noise is giveing me nostalgia
I love this “why do I feel like I’ve been played 🤣
SCOTTTT!!!! I have made a lot of paintings in oil pastels and its pretty easy to work with. First of all the paper you are using is not suitable for oil pastels, you should use pastel paper you can probably get it from any art store! and another thing when you get the paper there will be a smooth side and textured side, use the textured side. And then dont apply alot of colour because after when you go to blend them they will have so much pigment that they will be super hard to blend but all hope isnt lost yet. You can use a box knife and use it to remove a bit of pigment but be careful and dont rip the paper. Hope this helped! I will see if you have any socials and contact you and send you some of those paintings so you can see how you should use them!
I really like this channel,I haven’t found any other good content to watch
I love your art and your videos ❤
With oil pastels I recommend either refined linseed oil, so the medium for regular oil paints, or even better, a solvent like turpentine or white spirit. Baby oil is not a good idea and also I don't even think it would properly dry on paper.
You can also just wait for the pastel to “harden” (1-2 days) and then go over it again. That’s what I always do
It's could be the type of paper or oil pastels your using! The cheap ones from Crayola have always been the best I remember using them in school projects and there super buttery and smooth and blend so well!!
The clock ticking in the background gives me anxiety
Vecna is coming
Thats a fan
I'm sorry to tell you this but the anxiety was already there, it just atarted dancing to the rhythm of the ticking
I hate clocks that tick
Oh thats intetesting! I found it extremely soothing. It reminds me of the clock that used to hang on the wall in my Grandma's living room. When I was a little kid I would sit in there alone for the sunrise and watch as the sun beamed through her orange curtains. It cast this warm glow around the room and made me feel fuzzy and safe. The house was still and silent, all except for that faint clock ticking. Interesting how the same thing can bring complete opposite feelings for people!
You could try to also make a slightly bigger peice! Anyway this makes me want to go through my oil pastels again. I do recommend watching Blackbean CMS on CZcams!!
Who else sat here listening to the clock in the background
If there's one thing I've learnt from your experience with oil pastels is that sometime it's good to stick to what you know and do best. There's always this assumption that an artist should be capable of using a variety of mediums and styles but in reality some just don't work out for other's and it's fine like that...
From past experience, be ready for those pages to seep oil through your whole book like it's a bag of fries.
If you want to give it another try, instead of shading it in do little lines in the direction of the texture. If you leave white space in between it solves the smudging problem. Hope this helps!
The way you open things with asmr is so freaking satisfying!
Use tissue paper instead or just use pressure so that the colour blends with the other one and go light to dark. There are some specific papers for oil pastels so I guess you should use them
I've said this before, it's definitely the paper. You need to smooth the pastel pigments over the paper, a paper with texture would not help you with that. I mean, I got this tip from my teacher.
Edit: I just remembered the paper professor recommended me: mi teintes 160g/m² I believe it has cotton in it
Also wayyyyy too much oil being used!
Yeah he is using watercolor paper
That's what I thought too, the paper is more textured so that's why it looks more patchy
The way you talk to us is just so calming ❤️
F**k that!!! He makes Everything look Amazing 🤩
The clock in the back and the silence is soo soothing
"....why do I feel like I've been played?"
This quote- ✨😂😂
a flat square exacto blade is always my best friend when working with oil pastels. it won’t puncture the paper and gets the perfect scrape
Glad you didn't give up. But baby oil is a very "difficult" choice. Oil pastels are best treated as the other oil colors... Turpentine and the other classics oils media are good. But your work whould need a thicker and harder, better if primed, support... But I enjoyed you trying. It's like using hairspray instead of fixers for pencils, charcoal... But that one works sometimes, instead.. 🤣🤣🤣
I think the problem is the oil pastels themselves, I don't know the brand, or ever worked with it so I can't say for sure, but they don't seem to be able to layer and blend with eachother, i recommend getting a better collection of oil pastel, personally i recommend the caran d'ache neopastel, they're very smooth and easily bendable and they layer perfectly
This specific oil pastels are a little expensive, but but you don't really need the big packs, a small one works perfectly beacuse they're so bendable you create your own colors easily
The amount of joy I get from watching you create art, and somtimes even fail is so amazing. It's nice to see that even an amazing artist like you struggles, and it reminds me that the more ugly drawings there are, the better each good one will be :)
I love this man.
