    (NON SPONS, I BOUGHT THESE WITH MY OWN MOOLA)
    Just want to let you know that this is just my opinion and demonstration with these oil pastels. Let me know your thoughts about these oil pastels. In my opinion they just did not meet my expectations. I used these sometimes in middle school but since I've delved into different brands these past couple years I've noticed that these are just not it for me especially considering that there are better quality oil pastels you can get for just a few dollars more.
    PS I am not saying you cannot make great art with these. You can make art with whatever you want. I know some people only have access to these oil pastels and I want to let you know that you can still make amazing art with them I am just simply comparing them to different brands.

    I can’t be the only one that thinks the first one looked really good.

    You could probably call the second technique "glazing" which describes how very transparent pigments are layered. e.g. pottery, watercolor, etc

  • @LondonBridge99

    These pastels are what we used in high school. This is probably why I always thought oil pastels were hard to use and didn’t look good. I will have to try other brands and give it a shot 😊

    • @dollladie
      @dollladie Před 2 lety

      You're correct. This version of Cray Pas is a beginner's youth version. Cray Pas Expressionist oil pastels are like night and day to these. These have beautiful colors, but they are difficult to work with, once you've worked with better. But to be fair, he's doing a review - an honest review.😊

    The second picture was so good. You blended that green in there around the mouth very well 👀. I think there's a place for less opaque/ translucent mediums you just have to figure out how best to use them so this was such a good review for that. I actually find your reviews really helpful I just wish some of these pastels were available where I'm from! 🍬

    Your reviews are so helpful. Unlike other ordinary reviews showing forever making color swatches, you show how each brand can work in actual processes. It's so hard to resist the temptation to buy each and every one of the products you present (actually I did buy a Crayola set after watching your video for the first time).

    Also!!! For spooky season, I’d love to see more 3D type art like your photoshoot, coralline doll, and Halloween decoration videos you put out last year. I discovered your channel around that time and I adore those videos!!

    "these oil pastels will not layer" that's basically my experience with mungyo's blue box "artist's" oil pastels too. And I bought them because I thought they would be opaque. Lol. But those can also make really smooth colors and gradients when you stack them on the paper. With these types of translucent, ghost ass oil pastels you have to work with light to dark instead of dark to light most of the time

And wanted to ease back into it.. I tried artist loft and I was so not happy. I mainly do acrylic and watercolor. Pastels are fun and I can keep working without having to watch paint dry. Your work is beautiful and you are super talented. Stay Juicy.

    Thus is pretty strange to me, because I had achieved my most brilliant portrait with them, but they should be working on watercolour paper such as ARCHE cold press with a colours shaper mainly, and I had excellent results too with Pentel art set of #50 for kids on the back of canvas at DOLLARS TREE and they are amazingly on Somerset watercolour paper 270gsm! ! The Cray-Pas expressionist are more pigmented than Sakura Cray-Pas juniors! Hope it will be useful. I am loving to work with Mungyo gallery soft oil pastels mostly and I had experiented over 26 brands throughout the world!

But the squinting made a huge difference. Ty.:)🍬

Les Mungyo pour les étudiants sont exécrables, tout comme les Holbein pour d’étudiants!
