    This tutorial made me see oil pastel paintings as equivalent to oil paintings. Loved learning from this video and made a lovely painting myself. My family and friends are all praises for my this painting. Thanks Matt for such an inspiration.

    Amazing!! I'd love to see more impressionist oil pastel videos. Can we have a video on the basics of impressionist landscape with oil pastel for Absolutely beginners? I'm experimenting with oil pastel but I need to learn a lot. Thank you so much. I love the painterly look too.

    I always wondered how i could layer colors with oil pastels especially since i work with a limited palette and this video was very helpful. Now i'm gonna start using textured paper and hopefully it will make it easier.

    Wonderful video. I have been thinking about having a break from watercolour and trying out oil pastels, or watercolour background with a pastel subject/foreground. I love the expression you can achieve with this medium. You demonstrated how to use the pastels effectively which is incredibly helpful. Thank you for a lovely video :)

    Very good, very informative video. I’m drawn to oil pastel. As an oil and acrylic painter who has a strong background in soft pastel in my former incarnation, I’m fascinated with this medium. Your tutorial is much more ‘informing’ in their use. Thank you. I will be following you and your tutorials on this subject… 💖

    Love this tutorial. Gorgeous landscape. I would love a place like that to just sit with my dog and shut out the world. It looks heavy. Thank you for this. I never tried oil pastels before I wasn't really sure what to do and how to use them. They kind of intimidated me until I saw this tutorial. Thank you. I no longer feel intimidated but rearing to go and try it. What can possibly go wrong. Well the week I'm having now. Everything!!🤣🤣🤣🤣. But at least I will have tried and made that first move and keep trying and hopefully get better. We all have to start somewhere. Thanks again. God bless Susan 👍👏🎨🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞

    I’m truly enjoying your teaching… You’ve ‘showed up’ as I’ve just decided that oil pastel with possibly experimenting with a watercolor under painting has taken root… Your work is amazing as is exactly what I was looking for and needed. Trying to decide which brand of pastels right now. Your suggestions have helped there, as well. Thank you 🙏

    Beautiful! I use dry pastels but love oil painting so I will try some oil pastels. I think it would respond to oms and textural things that a palette knife might be fun to use. I come from a watercolor color background yet loved oil painting and with the cost of supplies,this might be as close as it gets for me. Thank you.

    @zackartistry Před 5 měsíci

    Consider being more painterly by first building a tonal underpainting with a first layer of oil pastel with the addition of an alkyd gel like Resngel rubbed into the first layer of oil pastel. Better integration is achieved. Your use of. lues is very nice.

    Ooo, Yikes! I just traveled to your CZcams page and see that you actually don’t have a collection of videos on the subject of oil pastel. I hope you do more eventually. In the meantime, I believe I can convert some of your videos in painting in oil as well as some of your drawing videos into instruction that will help with my education on oil pastel. Again, thanks for this one. Very good 👍🏼

    Wonderful instruction and “painting”! How do you finish an oil pastel “painting” - frame with glass?....”varnish”? ...frame w/o glass? Does an oil Patel eventually “dry” so that the painting is permanent?

    • @ameeranauman6341
      @ameeranauman6341 Před 3 lety +1

      You can finish the painting by spraying fixative over it. This will prevent the artwork from smudging or getting ruined. If you don't want to use fixative, then you can frame the piece to protect it.
