The real way of blending colors using oil pastel is not smudging using your fingers or tissues. You must put some force when you're using oil pastels, starting from darkest to lightest, and then mix them in circular motion. The result will be more colorful and vibrant. :)
Can use a q tip too ... apparently 🙃
thanks. I tried your tip and it got me a good result
@@carolinebarrett4736 yes I got results with that too
Exaaacctlyyyy
@@carolinebarrett4736 if you have one using a blending stump is the best option
I just realised my art teacher at school has taught me all the wrong fundamentals of oil pastels and I've always blamed myself for unsatisfactory drawings.. Lol.
What did they teach you ?
My teacher told me to not smudge, because it makes it look watered down and dull. There are many different ways to blend correctly. Normally, you apply in this order: Dark, Base, Light. You then use the base oil pastel and blend over the other colors you want blended in small circular motions. He told us this and I used it. He loved the drawings I made with the technique. Smudging does not look as good as normal blending. This video is promoting that, and it is sad to see.
@@whatdoyoumeme5713 I found using lighter colours before darker ones to work much better! I don't know why it doesn't really look good when I use dark colours first
I am better than my art teacher my teacher sucks and she doesn’t even know how to draw she just makes people draw stupid boring cartoons
@@NourBira probably because the colors your putting over the top are slightly transparent then the ones underneath, and for oil pastel sometimes it helps to let the lower layers dry otherwise you end up mixing the layers together instead of laying one over the other. Or you can just use white!
I use Pentel, I don’t usually blend with fingers either, I just add more pastel to blend out :)

I did both with dry pastels. I got right in there. I'm not shy 😉l think as long as you get the end result your after that's all that counts. One of the most hilarious things was my first time using charcoal. Oh my gosh, got into a right mess! It was everywhere! Lol 🤭 all over me, yet so little on the paper. All over my clothes, legs and arms and even big black streaks across my face where Id tried to swipe my hair off my face probably, I don't remember how it got all over my face! 😳 Was so funny! The joys of being creative! But then it's supposed to be fun and therapeutic, and it sure is, especially if you can have a laugh along the way. Good medicine for the soul! ☺️🎨🖌️
I have prismacolor pastels I never blend with my fingers.
Brilliant tutorial. Your teaching style is easy-going yet incredibly informative. You really put this novice at ease and made this media accessible. Thanks.
Me too, I thought that he was amazingly straight to the point and chilled out. With no filler in nonsense. I'm just starting out with oil pastels myself. So, he has helped me greatly, and I am really delighted that this channel and video was the first I clicked on. I've been drawing and painting for years. But pastels are completely new for me too. Slainte, from Galway Ireland!
Love this because you're not snooty about art. Interesting to hear you talk about boredom in this context. A quick mind needs a quick hand!
I love oil pastels I use to hate them. But after winning some I decided to give them another try and I fell in love
*before I found your videos* “I literally have NO IDEA what I’m doing” *After I found your videos* ( levetating sitting in a meditation pose drawing fantastic drawing with eyes closed ) “ I am a wise master of all arts”
I draw with my eyes closed. Try it.
same
Same I did
Right?! 😂
@@foxylilmimi hi yea I was right
I really appreciate this simple intro to pastels! A lot of times people over complicate things and I just wanted to see the basics! Thank you! Your drawings look great! I especially like the whale with the balloon!animals holding balloons 💗😄💗 I look forward to watching more of your videos!
I’m really amazed on the results of the artwork when utilizing oil pastels. I have observed that oil pastels have a creamy quality when applied to a surface, somehow looking like a combination of crayons and lipsticks. The result, specifically the blending of the colors is pleasant to the eyes. Oil pastel art is usually more on the creative blending, smudging, and rubbing of colors based on one’s taste. Moreover, the pastel paper which is made for oil pastels really helps in grabbing or fully attaining the peak color performance of the oil pastels.
Nope XD the first oil pastels I ever bought: $2 lol they did not blend at all, not even a little bit. I was convinced they were crayons in disguise
Weird_Girl ^_^ haha, kinda related but my teacher called my oil pastels crayons when they say OIL PASTEL on them
Yep, got my daughter some $4 ones...after trying those, I'm surprised the $3 ones in the video blended at all. Couldn't layer colours, had to push as hard or harder than crayons to get any colour at all, and so very unpigmented and transparent - like those cheap crayons (not the crayola) that kids get in restaurants.
I got some for £4 (roughly $5) and they were hard to blend, it started coming off, like when I tried to blend it started to one off the paper and I could drag my nail across it and I old bring the actual stuff off no matter how many layers...
Weird_Girl ^_^ May I recommend cray pas? I have a small pack of them and they work well (I think? I don’t know much about pastels, but they’re pretty easy to blend and they’re vibrant.). They’re cheap too
🤣
Those oil pastels that you said were like $3 at Michaels actually did a really good job!! Both of those were gorgeous pieces of art and I look forward to watching more videos!

I got my first set of oil pastels and I'm overwhelmed. I am grateful for this video, it showed me a few extra tricks to get things just so. Thanks!
My girlfriend got me a 122 piece art kit for my birthday and it came with pastels ive never done them before but im pretty excited to start learning and using them. Thanks for this video!
This video was very helpful..I ordered some oil pastels and I have never worked with them so I wasn't quite sure what to do..I decided to buy some because I had seen people do beautiful and simple art with pastels here on RUclips and thought I'd try a medium I'd never worked with before(expand my artistic horizons as it were)..I'm glad I came across this video 😊
I love your technique, but what I liked the most are your explanations, really useful!
I am all about what I feel and how I personally do things (as opposed to external standards) and I gotta say this mode of instruction rocks for me.
Just thought I'd add that baby oil and of course odorless mineral spirits with a brush, is used to blend oil pastels!
April Marie hi!! True..i did a pastel artwork last monday. In the box,its said that you should use turpentine or mineral spirits to blend them. I dont have any of them so i used baby oil instead. It did worked. Not that much blendability i was expecting but it worked and i loved it!! Now my baby oil has 2 purposes now-for my body & my pastel artworks!!!
Baby oil doesn't dry I thought. How are your pastels holding up?
@@omnesilere oil pastels never completely dry either. It's why they require a fixitive to not smudge.
Baby oil does dry....on dry surfaces. It also does dry with oil paints, as I am just finding out. Not many oil pastel users know to use paint thinners to blend with brushes.
@@RheaRobin does hairspray work as a fixative?
omg thank you so much!!! i have been wanting to draw with oil pastels for awhile, keep getting inspired to do so but it seemed like i was doing something wrong or was missing something. but this helps and made me feel loads better. simply oil pastels aren't the greatest but they'll help to practice.
Oh my god i have oil pastels and I've been useing them WRONG!!!!
maya the lame one! Doing it different doesn't mean that you are wrong...I'm also doing in with different way, it works well for me 😊
using** (😂😇)
@@nikoletak shut up brooo
Wow, that was very informative. I did a couple of drawings with oil pastels and I wasn't a fan of them... Until this video. I haven't thought of blending it 🤦♀️
Same here! I guess I stupidly looked at them as crayons, but more artsy 😶 the blending certainly makes a difference!
Years ago I received a gift of oil pastels, I didn’t even touch them until today because I didn’t know how to use them. This video made me try, and wow, I’m actually really impressed with myself! So, thank you!
I too
Wish I could get a closer look at your background painting. It's really beautiful I love the colours...
Thanks for sharing.
You're really adept at teaching. Thanks! These oil pastels are so much more fun for me, for my grandkids than finger paints and tempura paints that spill. :) AWESOME!
This video was so helpful, I literally just got some and had no idea how to use them and now I do!
Idk why u look similar to Tristan peredes ya know... the vocal coach
I see it too now and i can't get it out of my head 😂
fobb
Ikr
Yes I was wondering who he reminded me of
LOVE UR PFP FREN
omg so I've been looking through videos trying to find a good tutorial on oil pastels then I find this which is very simple and easy to understand
Wow, you were absolutely brilliant going through the motions with your very chilled out and cool, no hassle explanation of the very best methods and concise instructions. That weren't "Drawn" out with lots of filler in nonsense. You were amazingly straight forward and to the absolute point. I do a lot of pen or pencil abstract art. And some acrylic painting. I'm just getting into the pastel side of things. You have helped me greatly, and I commend you for that. I wish you all the success that that you can muster up for yourself, in the Whole Wide World. Thank you from Galway, Ireland! Slainte!
how have you not blown up yet!!!!!!
According to this video I’ve been killing my oil pastels because I never knew you had to add so little color and then blend I always used to use it like crayon 😂
Me too! I feel so silly. 😅
😆😆😆Now this makes me look like a fool😂😂😂,first, it's really not easy to blend the pastels into that fine colour..it needs some effort 😱😱
I love this video! Thank you for getting right into it, and not wasting time with RUclips fluff, haha. Thanks again!! I really enjoyed this video.
Oil Pastel - Every hands enemy.
You can use tissue...
You can use the color white...
True. Special in summer. They look really good but hard to manage. (At least for me.)
You really shouldn't use you fingers to blend oil pastels
I love your videos, I been watching them since I was little they have helped me improve so much! ❤
when i was in middle school i use oil pastel and dry pastel like a colour pencil omgg XD smh
My grandma got me this art set with a lot of oil pastels and I couldn’t teach myself how to use them...So I went to RUclips!
Wow..how sweet
Lol- I learn sooo much from RUclips- would b lost without it really 😆
Fun! Thanks for the tips. The pastels looked great on the Mi-Tientes paper!
Thanks was gifted w/ oil pastels. This has given me the confidence to even try .. Justv so unfamiliar to me, didn't know where to start
Thx 👍👍
oh wow youre really good at teaching! thank you
Your channel is awesome
Exactly he is so clear with telling us about techniques and helps me learn SOOOOOOO much!
True
I like the way of your thinking to create something
।।।
🤩🤩
i've been oil painting for years and got a 5 dollars set of oil pastels and wow, i love it! it's so much quicker i hate how much easier it is.
Question 1
Once finished how do you protect your work from smudging?
Q2
I would like to try on canvas have you ever used Pastels on canvas. If so how did it turn out?
...you really shouldn’t use your finger, the oils of finger damage the paper (not a big deal if it’s just a fun drawing but not a good habit to get into)
Karla Rades I wouldn't worry so much about the oil of the fingers , because oil pastels are oily as well
Well, the problem with it is that it doesn't look as good as normal blending. With smudging, in the end you get a dull, watered down like drawing.
Karla Rades what should I use to blend?
Stephanie Beyruti i’m thinking of using q-tips
I know you’ve been told that in art class but it doesn’t at all apply to this medium.
Now u r my teacher
Woww nice
tried this with my son's pastels and a plain sheet of paper. the blending looked so bad that even bob ross would have said it was a mistake. :D i decided to redo it in watercolours and i must say, i'm rather happy with the result. :) also, loved the video.
Now this is a beginner's tutorial.. not overly complicated
I am an oil pastel artist. I use my fingers. I also melt my colors together on my wood stove. I'm using oil pastels on canvas. I use all white in the canvas to start like gesso. Unfortunately I can't share an image here.
Thanks for sharing.
It looks more easier for me now.
Goodness, my art teacher required us to have oil pastels but taught us nothing about them. So I’ve been using them very wrong it seems. Thank you for this video!
How do you protect oil pastels afterwards? A spray fixative of some sort? Suggestions? Thanks for the video. I got some expensive oil pastels as a gift and haven't attempted them yet!
i heared they use a "special" spray....
I recently bought a pack few years ago from a random art brand. Cause I wanted to try at art college and I never ended up using them. I have a new use for them now that I’m tempted to test out, I feel guilty not using them. Thanks for this video helped a lot! 😊
one of the best people to do such a good stuuf
hop its not to late for commenting😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Can you mix oil pastels and watercolor? Cause the whale drawing looks so pretty but I think it would be even more amazing if you used watercolor to create a background looking like the sea
you cant really mix oil pastel and watercolor as they separate on the paper but you could definitely make a background with watercolor and it would be great because the background wont bleed into the main drawing
Thank you so much! I has no idea where to start with this medium
Who knew Matt mcgorry is an artist
Would you be able to use them on a canvas?
Thanks. I'm a new (old?) artist. I bought a few art supplies...I haven't tried the oil pastels yet. They seem scary. I don't think my soft pastels are very good, they arent very blendable. Or maybe I'm not using enough pigment.
Sennelier are the only oil pastels I would use.
Trying a new medium is like. Dungeon. You explore, they are scary but an adventure
I read your name as seungri 🤦🏾♀️
Wow I learn a lot on your vidio of tutorial Big thanks
THANK YOU! i acctually needed to learn even slightly what i needed to do with oil pastels and you were the first one i saw who actually explained what needed to be done. were not even 3 min in to my first video im seeing of you and i have immediatly subscribed. again THANK YOU!

Very nice, I have both oil and dry, can you combine them in a painting. Also, I cannot tolerate fumes from turpentine so switched to acrylic paints. Now I am going to try using dry pastels over the acrylic underpainting to make some things pop.
I use tissue paper to blend oil pastels...so tell me which would be the best option , a finger or tissue paper...
i tried it but not as beautiful as yours and you are so great...
If you dont mind burning through your white pastels you can use the white to blend, thats what ive always done. Work like a dream and less exhausting than blending with your finger
You deserve so much more subscribers!!Your channel is awesome💕💕
Jyler Dunseph Bean right

You deserve million subscribers dude.
Hey! How do you finish the painting and make sure that all pastels are secured on the paper? I tried a fixative spray one time and it ruined my painting (turned it black)! Thank you!!
I use crayons oil pastel and I LOVE IT can't wait to learn more about oil pastel
I like it so much...i will applying in my drawings too. Thanks for teaching. A new subscriber here. I also doing this kind of art..
Cool very helpful, wanna start using oil pastels to experiment out side of pencils.
Very simple mate, you got me motivated.
Can i use wet wipes for blending??
Thanks very much your video very useful for all.
Nice tutorial my friend .. learn so much.
I bought those artist loft ones and ended up throwing them away, mainly cause I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I now have a much softer and creamier set and I’m ready to learn.
Well demonstrated, beginning to learn oil pastel drawing
Hmm. I could never blend them that way. I used the reader end of a regular school writing pencil. Then someone told me I needed to use oil to blend and that was just to much for me.
When I blend I either use another pastel or I use a paper towel. I find the paper towel technique superior to using a finger.
needed some guidance preciate you brother
Super! Very helpful video for beginners.
Thanks im just now going to try oil pastels...easy peasy👍
omg this helped so much!! thanks ☺☺😊
Great Lesson!
發音好清楚而且好好聽😻❤
Congratulations for the video!
Hmm I never blended colors with the finger I always blend colors by circling the second color on top of the first layer of color, still comes out very nice
Tq.... For your advise will try at home..
Can I ask, how much pressure do you need to apply to blending techniques?
Beautiful and looks like fun!!
You could also use a brush and some turps to blend too yeah?? Thank you btw
Thank you for teaching me!
Thanks for this great to watch. also ? is the paitning in the background one of yours? if so what medium did you use for it? Thanks Helen
Thank you so much man.
I can color with pastels much more easily.
The Dude Abides.
love love love this vid, thank u so much
Thank you! That was a lot less scary than I thought. Time to get scribbling! :D
Love oil pastels thx 😊
this is sick, great video
thank you for this!!!
Could I assume that watercolor paper would work?
This looks like a less messy finger painting for kids idea. Mine tend to spill a lot, but miss the table cloth lol.
Very cool method, thanks.
Just out of curiosity, can you blend the colors in with something like a piece of napkin or something along the lines of that?
the moon killed my dreams and my stars yes
@@mags_1977 thank you!!!
You can use ehort haired flat bristle brushes dipped in solvent. You can use Blending Stumps. You can use your fingers.
