For anybody who thinks oil pastels look juvenile. I've literally seen fantastic artwork done with Crayola products.
Did he blend using baby oil? ^^
@@LoLFilmStudios yep, baby oil out mineral oil & you can paint with oil pastels
And don't forget that oil pastels were made specifically for Picasso, to meet his requirements/desires.
Quigley said he was using turpentine, actually, @@LoLFilmStudios. Then he stated baby oil is an option.
Do note, though, that, to my knowledge, baby oil is not archival, so it's best avoided for serious artwork intended to be sold or simply to endure over the years.
I still think they look juvenile lol.
Oil pastels are so convenient, little setup, versatile , and less mess. Wish I had discovered them before investing so much into materials for other mediums.
Me too...oil pastels are much less expensive that other media, too.
Its nice to see other left handed artists 🥰
That last technique was particularly interesting as a way to achieve fine lines and marks.
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve just started playing with some oil pastels after someone gave me a package of them. Perfect timing to come across this video! Looking forward to having some fun with them!
Me too! A friend of mine gave me some oil pastels as a birthday gift and I'm trying to dive myself into this world.
Good luck for the both of us :)
Love this! Thank you for validating oil pastels! They are one of my favorite mediums and often get dismissed as a legitimate fine art medium. Will share this video with my students.
I've been on my art journey with oil pastels since 2020 and somehow I didn't come across this video while I was searching for oil pastels tutorial. I also didn't know lots of ppl be looking at oil pastels as immature art tools or what... Then again, I shouldn't be surprised since ppl view coloured pencils like that as well. I guess I've been working with double the juvenile tools all these years. XD
I love doing my arts with both coloured pencils and oil pastels. Everyone should try it out! Thank you for sharing these techniques!
The last one is so clever! Never seen that before
I like oil pastels and the way they smell as well- for me is a good memory there. The softness of texture and colour makes them a total joy to behold.
Thank you so much Tom, it’s always really really helpful and useful to watch you create these patterns and create with oil pastels too. I really really love ❤️ the painting at the end, it’s stunning too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
No worries mags, really appreciate you watching them and like the workshop 😊
At first, oil pastels are hard to handle, but with experience it becomes a favorite medium!
One of the best videos on oil pastel
Thanks Ebi 👍🏻
Very cool and inspirational. I'm going to experiment with baby oil, oil pastels and oil based colored pencils today. It is a messy medium though. I was leaving black marks wherever I walked and realized I had a piece of black crayon stuck on my shoe😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this great video and the great tips. I love oil pastels!
I use oil pastels a lot in my abstract art. Great ideas for new ways to use them here.....thanks, Tom!
Thank you! We’re working with oil pastel in school tmw and I had no idea where to start
Wow - fantastic painting! Thanks for sharing such an excellent tutorial with us. 👍
I was stationed in Monterey and used to hear the seals barking every morning on the way to work. Unforgettable place, thank you for reminding me of it.
Just started using them and love them. Liked a couple of these techniques and can't wait to try them out.
Great stuff, have fun using them 👍🏻
Super helpful - my kids loved it too.
Beautiful result! Thanks so much for the tips🌹
Thank you 👍🏻
Will do..... Stay safe here from the UK.🦋
I REALLY REALLY Lovee your art!! We're counting on you!!🤩🤩
THANKS TOM!😮
Nice painting of the seaside. It looks like an impressionist style oil painting.
This is the perfect beginner step by step video I’ve seen
Truly magic I’ve never used pastels but I’ll give them a go tfs xx
Some great tips which I will be trying out in my mixed media. Thank you.
Thankk you so much Tom ,im now motivated to have a go .
Thank you for all the tips. Your painting is wonderful!
Thanks Linda 👍🏻
Thanks for the heads up.
Enjoyed your video
Nice landscape you made! Thanks for the tips, and also for not making the video unnecessary long.
This is very helpful to a beginner. I was looking for techniques to practice.
A great tutorial. Many thanks. I am a recent convert to oil pastels - I just love how easy it is to blend them.
Very useful tips
I didn´t know about the brush technique, back in primary I didn´t know much so thanks for sharing.
that last one was really great thank you
Maravilloso!
Wow Tom love how you showed the different techniques you make it look so easy. I’ve never tried oil pastels. You inspired me to give them a go.
Hope alls going well with your little one have a blessed family Christmas. 🙏💫✨
So good thankyou for the tips! Beautiful drawing at the end too!
Thank you for making this video, there's not a lot on CZcams about oil pastels, they're a wonderful medium and should be elevated to beyond naive painting or children's painting, Oil pastels are much more than a crayon. Even a child's wax crayon can produce some wonderful results.
I just found out the OMS blending and decided to give oil pastels another try. That last technique looks interesting as well. Fun to be had relatively cheaply!
Yeah really cheap, hope you have fun exploring the material🙌
Just starting in oil pastels so this was quite informative!
Love this! Thank you. I bought some oil pastels recently with great images in my mind. Only to find that it looked like crayon! So I’m looking forward to playing with these techniques 😊
Wowooo!!! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks a million for your video!! Really helpful for future projects. Excited to do the next piece 😊🎨
Thank you Joan, glad it’s helped. Cheers for watching 👍🏻
Your demonstration is fascinating me...will try to draw with oil pastel! Thank you 😀❤
I live about 3 hours away from Monterey and am pretty sure I've walked on that beach. Love your painting of it. Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to playing around with them a bit. :)
Great tutorial. I always struggle with oil pastels but having seen this I am inspired to give them another try. Many thanks for sharing.
Cheers sue, great to know it’s inspired you 🙌
thank you!
ive never used it or seen how till now thank you very helpful
This is such a cool video!! Thankyou
Amazing shot at 7:15. It looks like I am looking at a oil pastel beach from a hill.
cheers
The last example is basically a trace monotype technique. I like drawing this way but I prefer to coat tissue paper with a fine layer of oil pastel(like a carbon copy sheet). The thinner the paper the finer the lines. Aluminum foil, plastic bags and tracing paper have nice effects too. It's tricky to get a nice even coat of pastel onto such thin paper, but with some effort it can be done...so the resulting lines transferred to paper aren't so 'clumpy' looking. Drawn lines can be rubbed or smeared once traced/transferred for tonal or softening effects. If you don't like the clumpy lines look you can either scrape the excess off with an x-acto knife or use masking tape to lift the excess off the paper. I like to use a ball point pen to draw onto the tissue paper which can achieve some surprisingly fine lines onto your paper.
Great advice!
I found this helpful and also use pentel oil pastels myself.
Thank you!
Cant believe your beach piece is oil pastel.👍
Cheers 🙌
youre SO AWESOME BREUH!
Thank you for the lesson
thanks for the video- very informative/ have been thinking to try them out and now you have sealed the deal :P looks fun!
Good techniques 🎉 I am new to my oil Pastels and I enjoy them. Your demo is unique and I will be trying them all out very soon. Thanks 👍
Thank you for sharing the techniques of how to use oil pastel in different effect. The demo painting in the last is beautiful, looked like an oil painting. I just taken a lesson of painting bear with oil pastel and I started loving to use oil pastel.
Thanks Pattie, that’s very kind of you.
Thank you ,feeling motivated.
Cheers Paul 👍🏻
Excellent video! I love the medium!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙌
wonderful and attainable techniques, bravo!
No worries, glad you found them easy to follow :)
Bought oil pastels last year, never used before, couldn’t use, clueless, thanks to your video now giving them another try, feeling a lot more confident now.
Thanks 🦋
Brilliant June, let me know how it goes 🙌
Very interesting, I recently decided to get back in pastels to sort of decompress. In the past I always finger blended. I'm looking forward to trying some of these techniques.
Thanks for watching Charles. Yeah give them a try, hopefully you find some benifits 👍🏻
I love your picture bravo
Excellent video.
Nice! Thank you
just goes to show, you dont need expensive pastels to create beautiful art :)
Thanks for this Tom! I did slow down your time lapse painting and tried to copy the scenary. I am new to oil pastels and the painting came out rather well :). Would be great to have some more live oil pastel painting tutorial !
Thanks, don’t worry I will be doing some more. Just had a busy few months. I will be back with a bang soon ✌🏻
Wow so useful techniques!!! Never expected 😲😲
Thank you for uploading this video!!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Wow thanks
Thank you, i broke out a box of oil pastels i got for Christmas many years ago. Wow they are brilliant i have really loved using them, after blowing the dust off.
Brilliant, great to know you have found a new love for them 😊
Monterey fabulous ...been will never forget ...you are a breath of fresh air....currant and extremely well explained a natural... keep going ...........
Thanks Lizzie, I’ve got some videos lined up. Cheers for watching👍🏻
Thank u! That was very useful and interesting!
Thanks for watching, glad it was useful👍🏻
thank u ❤️
I've always liked oil pastles hosntly. I even prefer it a bit more then soft or hard pastles for some reason
Cool techniques:) thanks!
Cheers 🙌
Wow, your studio looks cool 💖😁
Great
I love pentel
I never thought other people looked down on oil pastels tbh, but now that i remember there was this dude once that said "oh is just pastels" when he looked at some that i borrowed to a grandma so she could paint a mandala book that i gave to her.
Nice demo
Thank you for your video... you are a very masterpiece 👍☺️👍☺️
Thanks for your kind words 🙌
I've literally had some oil pastels arrive today (in the August 2022 ScrawlrBox, which I subscribe to). I've never used them before, so I thought I'd see what I could find online as pointers and this video of yours came up Tom. I've subscribed and also really enjoyed watching what you did here. I loved the tip on using turps as a thinner and I'm going to give it a go with probably jojoba oil to see how it goes with that (I know it's not turps, but it's also a lot less stinky 😂). I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how I can manipulate the pastels now too! It was also really nice to see another left-handed artist. I do think there seems to be more left-handed artists making art and sharing tips on here and I think that all the other artists I follow are, at least to what I can remember, anyway! Thank you for the tips you've shown here, you've helped to fire my imagination.
Thank you. l got a couple of good ideas from watching your presentation.
Thanks Paula
Here in usa alott of artist enjoy useing the oil pastel sticks..
The stick point tecnique(number3) was nice, since this material does not allow precision.
TY mister Tom.
I really loved your video, thanks for doing this. I used to do oil pastels when I did A level, and I showed it to my daughter this morning who is using oil pastels for her art homework. She gasped when she saw the scraffito so you definitely made an impression! I’m going to buy some baby oil and find some white spirit in the garage so she can try some blending techniques. I heard you can also use a tortillon and a silicon pottery tool; I think I have some of those kicking about somewhere. Anyway, thanks for the video, it was really quick and to the point, which is good for kids short attention spans!
Thank you for a very helpful video. I have been inspired to try oil pastels recently after discovering this is the medium favoured by the wonderful artist Sam Toft. Like many people, I previously regarded them as similar to wax crayons.
Glad it was helpful!
The main problem with them is that they don’t really dry. They sort of go off after a while but they don’t completely dry..*except* where you use solvent ..which dissolves the wax binder and leaves the pigment..and it also dries out.
Great video!
Thanks Phoebe 👍🏻
Thank you for this tutorial. Could you tell me if you need to treat the image once it is finished to stop it coming off and what paper you used?
New follower from the states. Actually sitting down with some PG Tips (those European genetics run deep) & watching your vids.
Great video😍
Thanks, great to know you enjoyed it 👍🏻
I just got a „Beginner’s Set“ with several different kinds of colours for Christmas. There are pastell chalks, oil chalks, acryl colours, different pencils etc.
I can’t draw or paint at all (yet)… as in, I know what I want to paint/draw, but when it comes to actually putting it on paper, I’m lost. BUT I hope it just takes practice. 🙂
I’m especially interested in Oil chalks, because you can stop painting whenever, make corrections etc.
Somehow, I’m REAALLLY good at Oil Pastels. I’m not that good at art or any art medium, but oil pastels are a sweet spot for my art.
