What about water soluble oil pastels?
In this video I will explain the differences between oil bars, oil pastels and even water soluble oil pastels and show you how you can use them!
I will demonstrate using them on a few different pieces to show you what you can do with them.
In this video I will show you Sennelier Oil Sticks, Shiva Artists Paintsticks, Sakura Cray Pas Specialist Oil Pastels, Sennelier Oil Pastels and Caran d'Ache NeoColor II Water Soluble Wax Oil Pastels.

I absolutely love this!!
The way you left the graph paper peeking through, makes the whole journal fit together..
What a trip! So inspiring. 🖤
I didn't know about oil sticks until watching this video - their versatility is amazing! I would love to see more of the oil sticks and oil pastels adding the finishing touches to your floral artworks.
Thank-you Annette, I'm glad you found this useful! :)
It was good to learn the difference between the two, and how each can be used. I have not used these in years, but I may try them again.
This has been extremely helpful. Thank you! So, basically, I can work with the water soluble ones first, then use oil pastel/ stick and then move on to heavy impasto with oil paint! Cant wait
This is amazing! All together in one painting!
Thanks for the demonstration, I learned a lot. That set of oil pastels are so beautiful. The ranges of color in that set is a work of art in itself.
What I've experienced with oil pastels 7s that they will dry out and doing a painting with if you leave it for a day or so the painting will dry or cure, then you can put more layers over the previous. Thank you for your video, the colours you used were scrumptious! Cheers!
Beautiful work! I am finding that since Covid, a lot of art supplies are much harder to find.
Wonderful video... I am new to oil pastels and this was helpful. Smoosh and Smishy... fabulous!
What a beautiful painting
I absolutely love ❤️ 😍 💖 your color palettes.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your information on oil sticks.
I fear that you've just cost me $100. Lol
Thank you that was so informative, looking forward to trying some of these ideas.
You're most welcome Wendy!
The specialist set is really expensive - 185.00. I recommend anybody get the Mungyo 72 set in the wooden box. Their really great. I also use canson watercolor board or arches cold press paper 300 lbs paper (it has a lot of tooth so you have to spend time smoothing the pastel). For cost I also really enjoyed using it on canson heritage its a royal blue with yellow gold pad cover. The watercolor board is smoother with just minimal toothing.
My experience with Sennelier, Mungyo, and Holbein. Sennelier is very soft almost to soft like painting with butter. I like using them for any top layer over the Mungyo (my work horse) which are a medium softness. Holbein are significantly harder. I would never use Holbein over the other 2 as they scratch away previous layers. Sennelier for the cost are almost problematic. I have them but for the cost they aren’t my main go to. I love to use those in landscapes over the Mungyo to really pop and gradient my colors.
Great info. I really want to varnish the finished pieces. Advice? 🙏🏼
Great info. Thought they were the same thing
Thank you this is so informative and I love it
simply divine👍🏻
Oh my love your art!
Another avenue for me to explore..
When framing these paintings, would you elevate the glass away from the surface so the glass is not in contact with the oil pastels, since they never dry completely
Yes. You would either want to put a matt or spacers to create space between the glass and painting
Love the demo
What type of fixative or varnish do you use with oil pastels? It's a question, thank you for your video and your answer.
Thank you for sharing!
If you don’t frame behind glass, & they never dry, how do you clean the painting? Or keep it from collecting dust?
Love the info. Just wish I had the skills to draw/paint and the money to get all the materials you talk about.
Drawing/painting is a skill. You only learn by doing it and you don’t need expensive materials to learn. Some wonderful work can be achieved by simply using a graphite pencil and paper. Oil sticks and oil pastels are not necessary, if you are interested in oils you can start by buying a tube at a time or a basic primary starter set and learn to mix colours. There’s always a way if you are serious enough about learning.
Thanks for the information
Thank you!
Sennelier oil pastels also come in 3 sizes, 5 ml (the small ones in the multi-packs), 38 ml and 96 ml. The large ones work out much cheaper per ml. 38 ml is still small enough to work with by hand. I don't use the 96 ml ones, but I'm guessing it's palette knife/stomp application only, or for large backgrounds.
I just want all of them
So helpful thanks
thanks
I use oil pastels often and I've never had to use a fixative. I let my paintings sit/hang for a few months and they become dry. I don't like using fixative because of the added oil sheen.
Oil stick When finished painting, leave it for 1-2 days. Will the paint dry like tube oil paint or not? Thank you.
Oil sticks will dry like a tube oil paint does. Depending on the thickness of the application it may take longer to be touch dry.
très intéressant, merci
How do you seal the oil pastels?
So if you want to varnish, can you varnish over the oil pastels?
One of these days I'd like to see what my true painting potential is.
Can you use cold wax with sennelier water soluble oil pastels ?
And varish on mix of oil and oil pastel , what result ? :s:s
What do you use as fixative since the oil pastels don't dry? Or do the water soluble ones dry?
The watersoluble ones dry but u need a fixative used for oil pastels if u dont frame it
When I’ve used a fixative they still seems Mary over top of an acrylic painting. So then how would you varnish the whole piece you would use fixative? And then a spray varnish I’m not sure I have several large pieces that I need to figure that out about. Thanks for any help great video
So if the oil pastels don’t dry and you’ve used them over top of acrylic paintings how do you seal them? Can they be spray varnished?
Good question !
Sennelier makes a fixative called Sennelier D'Artigny Pastel Fixative.
I didn't think you could use oil over acrylic (water based) because it would eventually peel off. Is that not true?
Hi Dahl, you can use oils over acrylics but not the other way around. Many artists do under paintings in acrylics and paint on top with oils.
Never paint acrylics on top of oils as that would crack or peel off. I hope that helps!
"Gestural" pronounced with a soft "j" sound ie"jestural". Sorry but it was very distracting.
Great video, thanks. How long until all the medium you put on are completely dry so that yr able to sell the painting? Thanks for your answer
I'm a watercolour girl... I am scared of transitioning to oils because they are such a different medium!
I can relate. Just the other way around. I come from oil and coloured pencils and find the wielding of water rather intimidating. 😄 But I'm so fascinated by watercolours that I try them anyway! Be couragous! See it as an adventure! You'll see that it is exciting and fun!
@@anjapinkau3737 YEAH ! No fear of a n y stuff please !
Watercolor scares me. I feel that I have no control
Oil is easier imo
Just come over to my studio.
Can the oil pastels be put over oil paint that has dried
Why not ? Only Acrylic will make trouble, so just give it a try !
Maybe explain to people the difference in unsaturated (drying) plant oils, that are hardening through oxidization and polymerization (oil sticks) and oil pastels that are basically just various wax types (beeswax, plant-based waxes) softened with high molecular weight mineral oils (non-drying) - that will make the respective characteristics (and limitations) much clearer...
good~♡
For a second I thought my right earphone is ripped 🪦
Does anyone know how to hang paintings that are done in oil pastel that never dry? They attract dust. I have found this to be a dilemma I haven’t been able to solve.
A cheap frame? I have my oil pastel works in a folder with tracing paper between sheets.
Sennelier fixative for oil pastels ;)
I frame them behind glass.
Pronounced Jestural. Not Guestural.
Mind your manners!
Different country, different pronunciation. Get more worldly before you criticize.
I hate oil pastels
