Recipe
1 tsp Linseed oil
1 TBSP Mineral Oil (Baby Oil)
2 tsp Beeswax melted (This is a change from the 1 TBSP)
1 Stick Oil Pastel
Directions
Step 1.
Chop up the oil pastel into very small chunks (Mince)
Step 2
Mix in the Mineral Oil and Linseed Oil into the Oil Pastel. Let it stand for at least an hour while mixing occasionally. You can't over mix. You can leave it longer than an hour. I have let it sit for a full day. It won't go bad. If it gets dry, just add a few extra drops of mineral oil. It should look like a liquid paste. Thinner than toothpaste, thicker than water.
Step 3
Heat up about an inch of water to a boil. Using the bottom of a tin can (I use a soda can), place the mix into the can and then the can into the water. It will float and create a double boiler. Do not heat the mix directly on a flame. Put the heat down so the mix stays warm to slightly hot. Do not boil the mix. It should not be hot enough to burn you if spilled. This is a project for adults. Children need supervision. Make sure you use adequate ventilation. Do not cook the mix. Melt slowly and gently. Do not leave the pot alone while on the flame. It's no different than making candles. Use all the same precautions.
Step 4
Melt down enough beeswax to add 2 tsps to each can. You can remelt and reuse the beeswax. Don't throw out the can.
Step 5
Swish it around so it is completely mixed then pour into 1 oz tin pots. Don't lift or move the pot until it's hardened.
Step 6
Leave the pot to harden for at least a day. The pigment will get better and better with each day. It will be very waxy and translucent the first day. The final paste is translucent. It's a stain not a paint.
Tips and Tricks
1. (New) Melt the wax first then add the melted wax to the pigment container. Mix together while the can is still in the warm water.
2. If you find your paste is too hard you can warm it in a bowl of hot water before you use it. Hard paste means you didn't add enough oil or you added too much wax.
3. If you find oil on top of your paste do not remove it. Just rub it back into the container. It won't hurt the paste.
4. If your paste does not dry 100% once on the paper or you put it on too thick dust lightly with pan pastel colorless blending powder. You can find that on Amazon. It should be less expensive than pan pastels.
5. If you find the pigment separates away from the wax, the brand of pastel you used is at fault. I like to use Mongyo Gallery. Paul Rubio brand was OK but not as pigmented as the Mongyo Gallery.
6. When creating black it will appear to have a waxy top. Decrease your wax slightly. Mix well. Black is very hard to make. It will also go on the paper as grey.
7. You can use water soluble oil pastel.
8. You can use soft pastel as long as you create a powder and use a muller. Use one stick per container. The powder will have more volume than the oil stick but when you add it to the mineral oil it will shrink down.

Can we all just take a moment for a stand of ovation for Lori?
Lori you are such an angel for giving us this game changing recipe for FREE!!! 💕💕
I think she should register the patent anyway, she deserves it, she's been exploring those pigments, liquids and other ingredients for a long time.
This is totally hers.
That's creative and crafty. And the fact that you're giving us all your tips and full recepie is very generous. Thank you Lori.
It reminds me a lot of gelato sticks, in terms of application. Except gelatos are water soluble.
I just love that you've cracked the code to making a similar medium from home! All of your custom colors are so impressive, and it's so kind of you to share it with us so generously instead of selling it at a high markup! ❤🙏
Edit: colored pencils DO NOT lay down so nicely over gelatos. Most things like pencil and marker are repelled by the gelatos, which is unfortunate bc the pigment is so nice. It seems like you've found the pigment sweet spot without sacrificing layer-ability.
I'd love to see experiments of how well it layers over other mediums, and how other mediums lay over it.
Hi all, I know perhaps everyone can’t afford it, it for those who can, send Lori a SUPER THANKS ! I’ve just been reading through all the comments and seeing all the likes, and think it would a a great idea to REALLY show your appreciation. 👍🏽
I was one of the commenters who mentioned patenting this, and now I'm thinking 🤔 HOW stinkin' cool would that be if Mungyo reaches out to you to collab with this incredible product you made!! Also to note, if say in the future you were to sell these on Etsy or wherever, ohhh man I would absolutely buy them!!! 😊 Much love to you and your amazingly creative brain 💞💞💞
I'm realizing too now, that this revolutionary product you created is exactly what I had always hoped those silky gel type crayons would be, but none of those ended up being THIS easy and smooth to work with. So then I ventured to the realm of blending backgrounds with ink pads, still ended up frustrated and it's just way too costly! Then I got my 48 set of the Mungyo Gallery and fell in love, but still ran into layering issues (and I admit I never tried colored pencils over them, but I imagine if probably wouldn't work too well unless I sealed it first etc etc.) Long story short, I'm just SO mind blown over how perfectly perfect this creation is. It's genius and you my lady are amazing and I hope you know that!!!
Oh AND I bought Neocolor II's which are beautiful but then obviously we run into the issue of water being using in our coloring books. And sure I can prep my page first with say the Golden Satin Liquid Glazing medium blah blah but ain't nobody got time for that!
For sure!!!
Very very excited for this video, Lori! I think you've done something fantastic as an artist! And that you've shared it here says the best things about who you are as a person.
Hi. I am loving this stuff! Can’t wait to try. I’m thinking this may give me more talent than I have!! Thanks for all you for dummies like me!! I don’t know what would possess a 78 year old lady to decide to do art. I figure - now or never!! I spend most of my time watching videos and trying them out. Can’t say I’m doing well but I can’t sing either and I sing all the time.
You are a genius lady….and so humble about it and with the giving heart you have…..and always had….I will never forget…..what more can we ask….
I've only watched the first 7 minutes and had to pause to say those containers are a lot like ones I have that were packaging for loose tea! Some came from a sampler gift box of David's tea. Ask your friends who are tea lovers to save them for you. (Going to watch the rest now!)
Bless your beautiful heart on this new artistic medium you have created and shared so much. Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, the color lay down is so nice! I wish I could make this stuff, but with my MS, handling pans and stuff is a no go. That's why I have an aid. But geez, this stuff looks awesome! Genius! I'm going to put your links in my next video.
Today is my birthday 😁
Happy Birthday! 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂
@@kimidodd1146 thank you!
@@kellyluvskolors2083 thank you 😁
Happy Birthday🎂! Yep, I totally relate. I have EDS, so me doing this on my own is laughable, I'd end up with quite a mess or worse... Though I'd LOVE to make them. Thinking I can get my caregiver/art geek/Mom to help me out though🤩 Also, thanks so much to Lori for all the effort & the recipe 🥰
@@jett8193 thank you for the birthday wishes! I would end up spilling it everywhere and I don't think public housing would appreciate that, or I would burn myself, so they don't let me around the stove much.
Those are basically diy gelato pencils. Thats good. Gelato and substitute are so expensive. Thank you very much !
Just found this while trying to get back into making art, depression is taking my motivation, Im a HUGE fan of watercolor and I love this idea so much.
I haven't made art in years, maybe decades. I would love to use something like this. It was very generious that you shared this with with the inter-webs, but you need to patton this. I would hate to see a major art distributor take your idea and make bank. I subscribed to you channel and I can't wait to see what all you come up with.
Hi, Lori, I'm too much of a guy to comment on CZcams, but I have to. I don't consider myself an artist, no formal training other than 6 weeks in 6th grade, mid 70s. I am passionate about drawing though and I draw nearly every weekend. I'm 60 and although I am retired from the military, I still have a full time job, so weekends are my drawing time. Since I don't have any formal art training I rely on CZcams a lot to find out how to draw and color things. I first saw your video on how to do tree bark and now when I want to know how to do something I don't know how to do, Color My World is the first place I look. I've been studying your videos on skin tones, eyes, and lips. When I see your videos, II think, "Finally, someone who knows how to teach art!" There are so many videos out there where artists go in a super fast speed and produce beautiful work, many in real time, but they just have music in the background and don't tell you what they are doing in why. I just wanted to say, you are my first go to when I want to learn how to do something for one of my drawings. Recently, I finished a drawing of a mosaic of what is called "The Gypsy Girl". The original tile mosaic is in a museum in Turkey. First I drew just what is left of the original, about 75% of the original drawing. Then I drew another version of what she might have looked like when she was whole and complete. The drawing of the mosaic turned out okay, could be better, but I don't know how to make it better. I was wondering if I could show you a picture of it and maybe you could point me toward improvements.
I am sorry for the typographical errors above, I meant to say I don't comment on CZcams often. I injured my left hand on New Year's morning and had to have surgery and still haven't mastered typing with only 9 usable fingers.
Yes, I want to see it. Howtoadultcolor@gmail.com Thank you.
Thank you I have been wanting to buy “Pan Pastels” but find they are just too costly I wanted them for me polymer clay art but after watching your videos I have decided yep I think I will make me own lol. I also do colouring and painting so these will come into a lot of use, I might give the colour pigments ago as I use to make my own oil paints and the pigments will work well with this I’m sure. Thank you for sharing 🤗
This is something you need to trademark and commercialize!! 🔥
Wow Lori, this is truly a game changer! I will be making this soon. I think this is something we all could use. Thank you so much for your inventiveness. Love you so much.
Wow again! I know I said that about the first video, but seeing how to use it really impresses the variety of uses a person could come up with. I'm hoping to work on writing a children's book and making illustrations for it. This will come in handy. While watercolors are great they effect the paper so much that it has certain challenges. These arr vibrant and won't make the paper warp or peel. And the ability to add mica on top is just cool. I really hope I am well enough in the fall or winter when I will have time to work on said project. Thank you so much, I'm excited and love it. Best part is it turns oil pastels into something that can dry.
This is so exciting, from a fellow creator/artist/designer!! This product would work well in my junk journalling where I age everything.
I've been a subscriber for a couple of years, but I'm not really a 'chatter' so I don't leave comments very often. But...I MUST say...I made 30 of these from my 72 set of Mungyo oil pastels and it is a-maz-ing!!! I'm a primarily a pencil colorist but sometimes it can be discouraging because of how time-consuming pencil work can be. LOTS of coloring books just can't accept water medium and most water mediums don't provide even, consistent color. THIS is the answer to all my issues!!! I've applied it with my finger, make up sponge applicators and firm paint brushes. ALL methods provide fabulous results. YOU are truly a wonderful person to have shared this information with us! Truth be told...I would have paid $100 or more for a product like this. I'm going to make more base paste with the remaining 42 colors in my Mungyo set. But I'm definitely buying a wax melting hot plate to expedite the process....that water pot thing was brutal! LOL!! Thank you SO MUCH for this. I'm so looking forward to all the wonderful things I can do with this product. Love love love love love this!!! Thank you Lori!!! You are the BEST!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰😍😍🥰🥰
This is so cool, thank you so much for giving this knowledge away for free and not putting it all behind a paywall. I bet you could sell a set of these if you do want some profit though :)
Love love love your invention! I am also always testing stuff so this is totally my thing. Maybe a suggestion: have you tried giving the paper heat with a heat tool? It makes the wax and oil sink into the paper en than the tooth of the paper is normal and the shine is gone. I have been doing this with Vaseline resist and works great.
I am about to put out new directions for it. I made it much easier. No I haven't tried the paper heat thing, but that's an excellent idea. I am going to try it.
I frequently use water based markers as my first layer. Take a plastic lid of a container, smear the marker onto it, use water to dissolve the marker to a consistency which can be applied with a brush. Let completely dry and then finish with colored pencil.
Wow! Total game changer! I cannot wait to see how this evolves!
This is such a fantastic paste , thank you so much for all hard work!
These remind me of encaustic wax. I’ve always wanted to create with wax’s, but its price inhibitive for me. This is great!! Thanks for sharing.
The fade is gorgeous! It would have taken hours any other way! This is genius! Thank, Lori!
Wow, I can’t wait to try this, I have all the stuff to start on it now. Look at you adding a new way to use colors. Your great 👍
How exciting! I totally new art supply to try out. Thank you for sharing. 😊✌👍
For using markers, used as the darkest color. I uses mainly greys for shadows. Then soft pastels in powder form. Then you use the colored pencil. Take a look at Industrial Designers skills. This will make using alcohol markers give you realistic images.
I ordered the containers. I will give it a try. Oil pastel is my favorite medium so I have hundreds and hundreds of them.
Baby q- tips. Thanks for all the hard work
Seriously thinking about doing this at some point....the pastels you used are oil????
She said Gallery or Mungyo Oil Pastels
Wow, that lay down is smooth! Reminding me of like early phases of Bob Ross paintings but with a dry medium. This is so cool!
Love it you should patent your product before anyone else does.
this is the most Greatest idea ever! Can't wait to see your next video on this! I have been struggling and trying different techniques in doing clouds. I'm excited to try your technique in drawing/painting/coloring clouds! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing your ideas! 🥰🥰🥰
I'd love to just watch you colour!
Those trees looked like our Aussie gum trees. Amazing clouds.
I am SO loving all the mad scientist inventions and tips and tricks you have been coming up with!
Wonderful idea! With the buffing part you could use an old cotton t-shirt cut up instead of tissue. Saving this series!😎
I would love to see this in your Etsy shop!
Thank you so much for generously sharing your creativity and talents with us! This is absolutely amazing and I hope you are proud of yourself. I don’t even know you and I am!
I'm so excited to try this!! Base paste it is!!! This will add so much dimension to so many projects! Thank you so very much!!
Wow! That's a huge stash that you have ready to go. It looks like you have almost any color you might need. I love that it's not a complicated creation too. That makes it even better in my opinion. Thanks for sharing, Lori!
That is a great technique and product, thank you for sharing 😍
Omg!! I love the name! That's great-BASE PASTE! Awesome
Hi !!love watching your videos ! I just received my star joy golds,I'm so impressed with them, thank you for your hard work,time and experiset you put in to them!!! You're so much fun to watch, and I always learn new things. I also like how you experiment with making new mediums to work with! Thanks again,Karen Maiorano
I love this kind of diy I make mostly of my supplies myself becouse you have the contol whats inside. This is awsome and I am going to do this for sure! Thank you so much, that you figered everything out, made this videos and share it with us! 👏👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐 I think this is something If been looking for a while(some years) know! I always surched for something between soft pastels, color pencil and watercolor. I guess I found it! I am so excited how this will take other colors like ink, acryl, or pastels! I am looking exitedly forward to try these!
You can clean those sponges with makeup remover or dawn dish detergent
I would experiment with different application tools. Such as ink blending tools , the ink blending tools are very versatile and carry over to a bunch of different mediums. Theres the make up brushes that come in assorted shape and sizes, stencil brushes for a textured look, and mini ink blending tool with the detachable foams. Also I think the ink daubers the ones that go on your finger would work very nicely with this stain as well. My first choice would be the finger blending daubers or for a textured look the stencil Shiva brushes used in small circular motions. The make up brushes would give you better coverage in less time and also provide a softer look if that's what you wanted. Also with the make up brushes they allow you to build up your color gradually to where you want it and you can blend other colors or make gradients as well. Lmk if you want the names of the products so you can find them. Each are under 10$.
Thanks so much, for sharing all this info Lori, as well as your recipe! You truly ROCK🤩❤
Very interesting. Hope I can find the other links you talked about
I’m in love! You are so generous and creative! I hope you have all the blessings coming your way! 💕
I'm looking forward to everything else you have to show us with the base paste.
This, I believe, is a game changer. Thank you so much for sharing this.
This is incredible. I've sent the YT artists I follow your link to the making video either in their community tab or on their last video. Hopefully it's been long enough they haven't had a post in a while and will see it.
Thank you Lori I was waiting for this video!
Edit: I’d much rather buy these from you if you got a manufacturer than make my own, any plans to try that?
Yes possibly but not this moment. I want to work with them longer just in case I have to perfect the recipe more. I like the stuff I have been making so it probably wouldn't be much change. I want to try it with soft pastels also. There is a larger color selection with those.
As soon as my collarbone is healed I'm going to make some. I can't wait!
16:20 to get straight to the main action, thankyou Lori!
Geniale.spero di poterlo rifare anche se da noi non trovo l'olio di lino,mai .complimenti davvero.
I have been waiting for this my whole life! Thank you so much!
LOL it's not that good. It's just a stain.
it IS that good, Lori. Don't sell yourself short, sister! I actually had a similar idea as you, but i didn't have the patience or knowledge to see it through! (i'm a published illustrator) five years later, here you are doing it... good on you!
You are brilliant my friend!
Thank you. 🎉 absolutly incredible
I love this channel. Thank you for being such a giving person. 🥰
You could make your own art supply brand. I bet you could get sponsored!
Hi. I caught your previous video on this and was intrigued. A few honest questions: With testing consistency and color matching, how much would you estimate this to cost a person until they get used to making their own versions, say per color? How long would you estimate the shelf-life to be without using certain preservatives? And what differentiates this paste from existing materials that can be used in a similar fashion but remain budget friendly? As an artist, I've toiled with many mediums- especially anything that applies color. Which includes creamed and powdered eyeshadows- which use the same pigments. This reminds me of creamed eyeshadows, but I imagine the eyeshadows smell better. Also, what do you think would happen if you added a touch of scent oil? Happy to have found your channel!
Some of your questions were answered in the comments on the previous video. Not sure about shelf life, I’ll know soon I am mixing mine up tomorrow to try staining wood with it!
I got all the ingredient for this and I can't wait to try it.
An even better name
...."Pastel Rouge"
If I try this I'll definitely be using a watercolor pallet with removables.
Your a sweetheart. Save money on clear spray. Rust-oleum comes in clear mat, clear gloss, clear simi-gloss, sprays .They're Fast drying , non yellowing, UV resistant. "2x Ultra cover seal and protect. It's so much cheaper! It drys quicker too. The craft sprays are labeled that way to rob you of your money..
They are not better though. I've been using clear rust-oleum for years. With a heat dryer, it'll be dry in just 30 to 45 sec. Plus this spray doesn't smell half as bad when wet. Remember to apply all sprays outside or in well ventilated areas.
Thank you! I made 15 from crayola oil pastels. I halved your recipe so 1/2 a pastel and 1/2 other ingredients as a trial. Used them on a page already so thank you again!
You are brilliant!!❤️
¡Gracias!
Love the picture!!! Im excited to make some of these and use them.. thanks for your new creative ideas and hacks...
I am looking for how to make the sparkly kind you mentioned in the first video?
I can make it Thank you very much ❤❤❤
Hi Lori, I hope to make these pots of colour. You are fantastic to invent your base paste. Well done you. I make greeting cards, can I use this paste to colour in stamped images. Also can you stamp over the paste once it has dried? Kind regards Dianne (Western Australia)
It's a stain not really a full pigmented product. You can do backgrounds and color over it very easily. Yes it accepts ink.
The link for the pots isn't working right for me lol. It keeps bringing me to my cart instead.
Hi Lori, I am so excited about this because I have been trying to figure out how to create a mica wax paste like a finnabare wax. Have you tried mixing the mica in the base to create a mica paste?
Thanks. This is sooo clever! I can’t wait to try it!
Three quick questions….
- What type of paper are you using?
- Is there ANY bleed-through on inexpensive quality coloring book paper?
- Why did you change the amount of beeswax from 1 Tbsp down to 2 tsps?
Gathering my supplies & CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY!!! 😬💕 xo
I have used everything from Pastel paper to cheap paper. There is very little bleed though on the cheapest paper. Way less than marker. The beeswax was changed to make it more creamy, brighten the color and it worked much better. The 3 tsp version works but doesn't spread as fast. I am in the middle of a question and answer video. I'll show you all of this. The colors become brighter in time too. Day one will be the least saturated. I have had mine a few weeks and I actually have to tone some of them down. You only need a very small amount on the paper. It becomes very vivid.
@@ColorMyWorld Awesome! This is fun!! I’m so glad I came across you videos. 🤩🥳
@@blessingsfromthecrone3261 It's a lot of fun. Once you get them finished they will last for a very long time. I have done so many by now and not one of mine even looks used.
This is amazing! I'm going to try this, Lori. Thank you for sharing!!!
Maybe try blending tools such as Tim Holtz distress ink blenders? Might eliminate the need for tissues? (The ones with the velcro pads)
I wonder if powder eye shadows and bare mineral type makeup could be used as pigments also... I've used shiny eye shadows in art and gives me way more joy than on my eyes....
No more white spots! WOW!
Thanks for the detailed feed back. Since I have Micas, beeswax, and linseed oil in my stock from soaping and lotion formulating, I may as well give it a try.
For anyone who wants to go by weight instead of volume, I converted to an aproximate of 1tbsp = 10.5 mls/g, and 1 tsp = 5mls/g....
1 tbsp of Mineral oil = 14 mls/g
3/4 tbsp of Beeswax = 10.5 mls/g
1 tsp Linseed oil = 5 mls/g
I will probably multiply by 8, in order to do six of 30g main pastel colours, or 12 x 15g, and 2 x 25g/ larger size of uncoloured to use with micas and pencils. In the past I have mixed mineral oil and petroleum jelly to use in a similar way to use on pencils and crayons, and micas.
this would be great to do a galaxy background
Hi Lori - thanks for this recipe. I want to try it. The link for the pots did not seem to work. Are yours 0.5 oz or 1 oz in size?
I believe it is 1oz size! 💞
Has anyone tried it yet on a small piece of canvas? Thinking to use this on a background front cover for junk journal(s)
Can’t wait to do it myself, THANK YOU
Could you add mica powders, glitters, ect to create sparkle or metallic Base Paste. ?
Thanks!
Great video and tons of ideas rolling around in my head! Thanks
Hi Lori, I know you commented on the translucent quality of the white Base Paste, but did you make black? If so, can you comment on it's opacity. Thx,
Do these leave an oily bleed through? Can you use these on coloring book pages printed with images on both sides? Ver interested to try this! Ty!
I've made 30 with Mungyos and absolutely no bleed through. I love this!
Been waiting for this eagerly💕😘
I kept watching your videos about the base paste and thinking I'd used something just like this. I think I finally figured it out! CHEAP HALLOWEEN CREAM MAKEUP! The crap you can get for $1 per tube and half the colors stain your skin, that garbage.
If you squirt that out into a small container and let most of the moisture evaporate from it, you're left with something that, from what I can tell, is almost just like your base paste!
PS; cheap lipstick applies very similarly too, but doesn't have a wide range of colors.
Clown makeup is made from cornstarch and other ingrediencies such as Vaseline. This isn't clown makeup and you really should know by 2022 that capitol letters means you are shouting. I am not really familiar with wearing clown makeup nor is my makeup cheap. I usually go to Sephora. They don't sell clown makeup.
@@ColorMyWorld I'm sorry if you were upset by my previous comment and misuse of all capital letters instead of proper italics. I was under the impression that, by 2022, it would be a non-issue. I'll do my best to make my following commentary more palatable to you and your standards.
I mentioned the use of low grade "Halloween" cream makeup because I wanted to share a possible option for those who had expressed interest in your inventive medium and techniques, but are in ways limited in their resources.
I in no way intended to demean the product that you have spent much time and effort to not only create and refine, but also so graciously share with your viewers. Nor did I mean to equate the price or quality of the cheap cream makeup to your base paste, or to your personal makeup perchases from Sephora.
The clown makep worn by actual clowns, is commonly referred to as "grease paint" and is made to withstand the movement and sweat of the wearer. I must admit that I too have limited experience with it , as it is generally not recommend for use in theater and special effects makeup.
If you would like to familiarize yourself with professional grade clown, theatrical, or special effects makeup artistry, I would personally recommend brands Ben Nye and Mehron both due to the quality, variety, and prices of their products.
However, "NYX sfx creme colour" may be preferable since it can be found at Ulta. Perhaps Sephora carries it too. But be warned, they employ the use of "all caps" liberally!
I sincerely didn't mean to offend. I was excited about what you had made, and the odd ball experiment of mine it reminded me of. I had stumbled across your videos for the first time today and was also excited about what I could learn to improve my colored pencil work specifically. I just subscribed and I already look forward to trying your revered Holbein white; soft, of course.
That said, the tone and implications of your reply lead me to wonder what kind of experience I would have in the future should I continue. I will pray for your heart to be softened, that you will not see ill intentions where there are none, nor look down upon others and see them as lesser. ♡
PS: If you actually took the time to read all of this; good for you!
Could you try the Cezanne blender pencil?
I love it! Thank you for showing it, this is gonna be fun! 😃👏🤗❤️
Lori, I don't know if anyone else has had a problem with the Amazon link to the small metal pots, but it doesn't work for me. I've tried it several times, on both your videos about your new base paste. I've done a search for small metal pots but the exact item is not coming up. Is there a brand name for the pots or a title of the product that I can search for? Thank you for any help you can give me.
I bought the 24 pack for 11.99 on Amazon. Product title is: 1 Ounce Aluminum Tin Jar 30 ml Refillable Containers Clear Top Screw Lid Round Tin Container Bottle 20 Pcs for Cosmetic ,Lip Balm, Cream, Gold....says there are '20' but when it arrived there were 24.
Hello thanks for sharing
I just ownder about the dryness . When you said that it will dry does that mean fully dry on the paper
And for the paint does it also try like for example i have to always close the paint lid so it will not dry
Thanks
Do you know the lightfastness of these? How about longevity of artwork? I do love the idea of this, I'm just wondering who this would be best geared to. Can a professional artists guarantee their work if they use the base paste?
If the pastel you use is lightfast there is no reason to believe it won't be. In a few weeks I will be coming out with a more professional level base paste that uses pigments instead of pastels. These pigments are lightfast and what people who sell their work use. So far the artwork I created and have hanging has lost none of it's color but it's still only about 8 months old. If you use really cheap pastels (which are known to actually hold their color) you can expect to have the longevity you are looking for just because it's pastel. Like all pastel type products your biggest enemy is dust rather than light. Like all pastel I would use a seal spray made for pastels or put it behind UV glass. It's a drop more expensive, but worth it in the end.
