Glad you enjoyed it!

@@ohsfer11820 thank you for watching!

@@danopticon thank you. No I haven’t tried using a brush to apply it. I feel like the hairs on the brush would push the pastel ever so slightly but I could be wrong. I haven’t had any problems really using the method in the video to fix my drawings. I do a couple light layers and I think light is key. If you see puddles you used too much. This is also a workable fixative so you could try blending any droplet spots out with a finger or applying the smallest amount of color back to hide it. If you do try with a brush I would layer some pastel on a separate piece of paper using the same pastels and paper and it test it that way so you don’t ruin your art if it doesn’t turn out well. Hope this helps. Ps I’d like to meet those squirrels 😄

Thank you.

@@yourpaladam449 This is not a paid review. I bought this product and made a video about it…no bs. However it does depend how much oil pastel you have on the paper. I have only used a few light layers but if it’s really thick it will take longer to dry. If it’s super thick it might not dry down completely with the spray. I’ve only tried oil pastels on one paper so I’m not sure if different papers could change how the pastel dries.

@@NaomiCoutureArt Ok thanks, and sorry for my combative tone. I think I'm using pastels that are too soft and I'm putting them on too thick. Thanks again for the quick reply.

@@yourpaladam449 no problem! I have only used oil pastels a few times so I’m definitely not an expert with them. ☺️

@@1mulekicker that’s a great deal!

@@NaomiCoutureArt I forgot to say your work looks beautiful too! Either way on or off the block I'd use tape unless I want to paint the edge of the sheet.

Thank you so much! I agree about taping this paper down it does warp a bit.

@@NaomiCoutureArt I've had some success on 98lb cotton rag wetting the bottom side before taping and then the top. Like stretching but without waiting.

@@1mulekicker that’s a great idea

No I haven't tried that before. I have heard others say they use hairspray. As far as I know it is not archival and could cause your artwork to yellow over time. If that doesn't matter to you I would still try it on a piece you don't care as much about just in case it ruins it.

Thank you ! I never thought about the long term damage hair spray might create on a pastel drawing. Think I’ll pass and use the proper stuff! Thanks again! ❤️

Hi, nice to meet you!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@@billyleonard1722 I wouldn’t say it’s difficult to remove but some things to consider: has it been in a warm location that gets a good amount of sun or heat. That can make the colored pencil stick more. Did you use a spray over it, workable or final. What paper are you using. Colored pencil erases easier on more hardy thick papers like a hot pressed watercolor paper. Also did you use any other mediums or blending techniques like using odorless mineral spirits which sinks the pencil deeper into the paper. If you need an area to be white or change color without ruining the paper look up brush and pencil touch up texture and titanium white. I have a video using it. It creates an opaque white. It’s archival over colored pencil and once it’s dry you can actually go over it with colored pencil and change the color. Hope that helps you ☺️

@@NaomiCoutureArt Thank you, sweetie! No, just pencilled colour onto 80 grams-per-square-meter copy paper. I'm no artist; I was putting some colour onto homemade game cards! No worries. I'll try it one more time and then try Blu-Tac and if no luck, I'll put the idea of a return to white behind me! Compared to vivisection and animal slaughter, it's somehow just not important enough. :)

Thank you so much!

@@BeckyTregear thank you!

Thank you so much ❤️

@@wmortimore4875 Glad it was helpful!

That's a good price!

@@NaomiCoutureArt Thanks for the pin girl and I’m so embarrassed cause I just found out that I ordered a different brand and got it mixed up 🤦‍♀️ lol sorry!

@@Anjali_babu-m2t oh no! I was going to say that’s too good of a deal to pass up lol. Hopefully the one you got is just as good. I’ve tried a smaller one from another brand too.

@@NaomiCoutureArt ty!

@@a.m.g.karlsson7165 I think you’re right. I think people hear W&N professional and assume Cotmans must be less quality. I still use some Cotman paints and still love them.

Thank for watching!

Thank you

Thank you so much ❤️ I’ll admit I learn with every piece I do but I love the end result I get with them.

I have not tried the meltz with inktense pencils. Although I would assume it would work as they blend out with water because they are water based. I can try it sometime as I think I still have my meltz. Honestly I still use my gamsol orderless mineral spirits because it’s easier for me to get.

Thank you! You can get the same look using your soft pastels. Thanks for watching ❤️

Thank you! I’m happy to be back and creating again. Thanks for taking the time to watch. I have still been watching yours. Love all your reviews ❤️

Well this was a real time livestream tutorial. I have lots of sped up voice over ones you might like better. Thanks for keeping it playing while you were sleeping though!

Hi! No i didn’t give up I just had some personal stuff going on. I really didn’t want to be gone so long but I guess that’s life. Thank you.

@@NaomiCoutureArt you’re welcome and yes that’s life. Anyway, nice to see your return. ☺️

I’m glad this video helped ☺️

Thank you!

I have the reference available over on my patreon in a seperate post. You can click the link to my patreon in the description of this video. I also have the line art, scan of the color swatches and more available for my patreon members. Please let me know if you’re still having trouble finding it and I will get a link to it for you.

I added a link to the reference in the description so it would be easier to find.

Thank you!

These are pastel pencils not wax or oil based. Honestly they feel pretty close, the stabilo probably blends a bit easier as they are softer. If you looking to cover a large area you would go through a lot of your pencil. If you using pastels I would look into pan pastels or pastel sticks for a base layer and then use the pastel pencil for details on top. If you’re looking for colored pencils I like derwent lightfast or prismacolor for large areas and polychromos for details. I have a few videos using both colored pencils and pastels if you want to see how each work. I hope this helps.

You shouldn’t have any problems using dish soap. Just make sure to rinse them really well after.

@@NaomiCoutureArt update - dishwash soap didn’t work, so I used a makeup brush cleanser instead😅 haha

@@MelLele interesting the soap didn’t work. It’s good to know the make remover did. The pink soap I use isn’t expensive and lasts a long time. I use it for all my watercolor and gouache brushes too.

Oh no that is awful! Thank you for letting me know. I will remove the link to Etsy. I do prefer the touch up texture and titanium white anyway. It just would have been nice for the convenience of the other product. However mine ending up drying up too. I have had the brush and pencil products for a couple years now and no issues with them.

Thank you! I’m working on new tutorials/ videos ☺️

Yes!

Yes it is! I still like my Daniel Smith watercolors and keep a few colors on my current palette. Honestly I like all the brands I have, but I do find I reach for my W&N ones more often.

Thank you! I will have new tutorials coming out soon.

You’re welcome, I’m glad it was useful!

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful for you.

@@NaomiCoutureArt🥰

It doesn’t smell but I don’t know if its any safer then Gamsol. As far as I know gamsol is the safest artist made odorless mineral spirits that I know of. Also I still prefer using my gamsol over the meltz. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m working on new tutorials hopefully I will start posting next month.

You may be right but I used the same amount I alway do to blend. However I think I still prefer gamsol and still use that one.

I still use the brush and pencil products. I have not tried pre mixing it in another bottle. It does dry out when mixed so I’m not sure how well it would last. If you want to try it just mix a small amount at first so you don’t end up wasting as much of it does dry out. Please let me know how it goes if you do try it because that would be a more convenient way to use it.

@@NaomiCoutureArt I think I’ll give it a try in a small one like you said and I’ll let you know what happens :) If it dries out it’s not a huge deal. It might be worth the experimentation lol
