No, I haven't tried this. I'm not sure if it'll stick well on the oily surface? I do think that there are oil pastel sealants out there, not sure if they are meant as a surface for additional layers though. I hope you'll find a solution that works for you!

Thank you for your nice comment! 20 years, that's a good long life. 💙

@@oilonpaper Not at all! :) And yeah, I miss him so much...

Thank you for your feedback!

You're welcome!

Oh, I don't sell these. I only have the one I'm using. But I just checked, it's still available at mossery.co 😊

Thanks❤

They are definitely a timesaver for underpaintings und fun for expressive strokes. Hope you'll enjoy them!

I found that yes, that's possible. Darkening shouldn't be a problem at all. Erasing back to white is limited to rather light areas regardless of whether the paint was freshly applied or not. Medium and dark areas will only lighten to an extent. I once tested erasing a rather light area on a piece that was already several years old at the time, and found no problem with it. Now this could depend on both paper and paint (consistency), so maybe just try it out...? If you decide to give it a go, good luck and have fun! :)

Wow! Gracious you have no idea how much this information will help me in my tiny portrait business! Hugs and Thank You's! @@oilonpaper

OMG, that's terrifying. 😅 Thank you for your comment, that made me laugh. 😅 Happy weekend to you!

As someone who speaks perfect English, WTF are you talking about? Why am I arguing with someone who uses emojis instead of punctuation? Enough said. 😆

I'm glad you found a combination that works for you. May I ask: What problem kept coming up for you with Pastelmat/Panpastel/Polychromos? Something to do with the type of art you make?

Do you mean the little green card? That's just a random plastic card that I cut into a shape that would be helpful. You can make such "masks" out of paper as well, but they are less durable. Hope that helps!

I posted the answer already on the other video you asked on, but here it is again for everyone: Ah yes, very good question! I tested it on drawings that were already several years old and could erase the light areas. The dark areas are tricky even when the paint is fresh though, there's not much to be done other than scraping with a scalpel or so. Going darker is always possible. Erasability might depend on the type of paint and paper used and whether additional oil was added, so you might want to do a test before jumping in with a detailed artwork, but from my experience this should work. Hope this helps. Happy dry brush painting!

Thanks so much for this valuable information. I asked this same question on several different youtube artist's sites because it was so vital to know the answer from several different sources before I waste any time or paints. Sorry if I bothered you twice. I didn't mean to. You're very kind and patient. :) @@oilonpaper

@JoyceHAnderson-rp5bf Oh, it's important to know, absolutely! I hope you'll give this technique a try, it's really fun. :)

I get your point, sorry to have wasted your time. But if you knew that it would be futile (the thumbnail was pretty obvious), why click on the video in the first place?

Experimentation and exploration are essential aspects of artistic growth. Every artist has their own journey and discoveries to make. I appreciate artists SHARING their experiments and EXPERIENCES. I believe there's value in exploring beyond conventional uses. Let's continue to encourage each other's creativity rather than criticize.

omg are you alone?

Thank you! That's so nice of you to say. :)

Thanks for the info!

You're not bothering me, I like to help. :) I like to use the regular Filbert brushes (cat tongue brushes) as I find they have the right stiffness even when using just the tip. I haven't tried the angular ones for dry brushing, but I assume they might be too floppy when using just the small long tip...? It's just a guess. You could try it out if you have one lying around, but if you have a Filbert, I suggest starting there. :)

I'll look into it for when I shop art supplies again, thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you for your helpful suggestions! It's always good to have options. I don't really need to use clear gesso for my usual combinations of art media, but who knows... :) A smooth surface might be helpful for some project at some point. :)

@@oilonpaper I made this comment especially for people who're using Polychromos. The first thing they ask, is what paper works with Polychromos, because they realize, it's a hard and slow medium but of super quality, so they always search for a paper that can work. Clear Gesso is the answer! It takes any drawing paper, to a new level, where the medium from slow to apply, becomes super fast, the smudging to create effects depth etc, is way easier and looks better, and the COLORS, Look so much better!! (That's another issue with Polychromos,that the clear Gesso, fixes, the colors where a bit duller, because of the hard lead.).It can make drawings, look ,lively like Oil paints on Canvas!! PS 1000 grit sandpaper, is another choice, that will work for those who need even more detail. For Landscapes though, Clear gesso is the answer!

Thank you so much! I'll definitely try that out with my Polychromos!

I'm so glad you found this video helpful! The more I've been experimenting with color and different mediums, the more I like limited palettes that force me to mix colors. But some convenience colors I use a lot are sure nice to add individually to the sets. Anyway. :) Thanks for leaving a comment!

Aw, thank you. :) That's very kind of you to say.

Thank you!

Thank you! And I agree with you, it's really helpful for blending. Do you work on Pastelmat as well?

@@oilonpaper yes, I love to work with Pastelmat, it's my favorite paper to work with pastels, it's a little expensive, but it worth it!

I love it too! :)

@@oilonpaper 😁

I'm glad you found it helpful!

I agree she should have put a zinc white instead which is meant for mixing. Titanium aka permanent white is too opaque and is for highlights and layering

Hi! I have used different oil color brands, which all worked well, so I think you'll probably be fine with whatever is available to you. I usually use water-mixable oil paint for easier clean-up, the Winsor&Newton Artisan line. As far as brushes, I don't have a particular brand. Important is that the bristles are relatively stiff, but smooth at the same time, meaning the brush has good snap/springback and stays in shape, but feels soft. For larger brushes the snap isn't as important, and I use make-up brushes (blush/powder brushes) because they are much cheaper than art paint brushes of the same size. Hope this helps! :)

Thank you, Berolina! That's actually pretty neat. :)

That’s what I thought! I put the gouache tube sticker under the caran d’Ache Geneva letters

Thank you! :)

🌼😊 Gracias!

A ti por ser tan genial 😎😇

@@samuelriosart Aw! :)

Gracias ! 😊

Actually, I found that I was still able to erase light layers weeks later. Maybe there could be problems if the layer is too oily ...? Hope this helps a little. :)

@@oilonpaper Thank you so much! I look forward to trying this out. :)

Aw! Thank you. :)

de nada :)

That's right! I'm German. Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you got some useful info out of the videos. :)

Hi! It's oil paint. I've used both traditional and water-soluble oil paint for this technique, and both work great. Acrylics, I assume, would dry too fast to get the same smooth effect. Hope this helps! Happy dry-brushing! :)

@@oilonpaper Which would you prefer I start with as a beginner for dry brushing. Water or oil?

@@thespearodiver If you don't already happen to have oil paint and need to buy it, I'd suggest water-mixable oil paint as it makes the cleaning process just this tiny bit easier. Since you only use very thin layers and never get a really oily brush, you only need water and soap to clean it (which for oilier brushes still works for water-mixable oil paint, but for the traditional oil paint, you'd then need a solvent to clean).

@@oilonpaper Wow, thank you very much Steffi, this was not only quite a pleasant surprise yet extremely helpful. People are so mixed up within themselves and their own little worlds that they forget about others. Speaking of which, late last night I assisted three young ladies stuck behind a Locked fence. At dusk the park ranger locks the fence and they couldn't find a way out so I gave them directions on where to go to, but as they left I just sat there in my Jeep pondering over the situation with a heavy heart to be more helpful. So I drove down the hill along the fence line where I told them to go, got out w/ a blanket has a bear of protection while climbing over the fence, but fortunately we didn't need it. I did, however, help them as they climbed over and I took their hand and kindly guided each one of them down. One of the women was sweet, she prayed for me. I got back to my Jeep and wouldn't you know it, my door was locked and my keys were in the ignition, talk about bad luck or was it God playing his jokes with me. I found a stranger's house across the street two doors down and explained my plight. The woman assisted me with a flimsy hanger stretched out and unraveled. As I waited I noticed a rod and her garden about the diameter of the standard pencil. I figured that would be a nice tool to tape the hanger to as to keep it rigid instead of wobbly. With her flashlight in hand as well, I was able to go back over to the car and with Gods Grace and mercy, I hooked my keys after the third try and it worked perfectly. There are still many kind people in the world aside for myself and now I must gratefully acknowledge your kindness too. Thank you once again and God bless you!

@@thespearodiver It was very kind of you to help the best way you could. And very kind of the lady to help with the locked door. I do believe the little things make a difference. Thank you for the reminder that kindness matters. :)

Glad that you do! :)

Hm, I guess you need to experiment a bit more. On his website, Igor Kazarin states that you can mix the oil paint with a drop of oil (sewing machine oil). Other people who use the technique say it's better to oil out the paint by applying it on a piece of paper (paper towel, toilet paper). The oil gets absorbed by the paper and you can use the paint for dry brushing. I'd do some experiments with that on scrap pieces of paper and see what works for you. Good luck!

That is actually pretty neat! Thanks for the comment. :)

Thank you for the comment! 😊

Thank you for your kind comment. :)

What a sweet comment, thank you! I wish you all the best on your art journey! 🌼🌼

Oh, that makes sense! Thanks for the explanation! Finally the mystery is solved for me. :)
