I never knew Oil Pastels could look like this

[@YolandaBlazquez]

They are very versatile 😊

[@landreeall]

I want them too ,but cand afford..

[@anony5021]

Remember opening these year ago same box

[@YolandaBlazquez]

@@landreeall I bought a set from Mungyo and overtime added Sennelier sticks bought open stock 🙂 nobody needs a big set like this (it’s nice though). In case you want to try oil pastels

[@leanneshawler]

Me either. Wow! Makes me want to dive back into my portraits set!

[@wellington66440]

this channel deserves so much more viewers. such a great artist!

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you very much! Although I can’t complain either ☺️

[@mcksoulart2202]

Your Oilpastel Portraits are always so stunning! 🤩And you have absolutely earned the support of Sennieler.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! 🥰 it’s such a nice gift

[@michellemaistry3170]

WoW !
I've never known pastels to look so good on paper. I guess smudging to disperse it and give it a smooth finish makes a huge difference rather than the harsh lines pastels, crayons and even colour pencils usually give. I must say, even the portrait you thought looked bad, was actually very nice. You're a very talented artist and I wish I was skilled like you or even knew the secrets and tricks of the trade with fine art.
Well done 🤩👌

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! I think blending goes a long way but there’s also beauty in visible brushstrokes ❤️ The only secret is practice 😇 so it’s something anyone can do

[@twizzlindoodz]

Your art is so gorgeous!! Your process is so satisfying to watch

I love oil paintings. You are an artist of great talent, Yolanda.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much!

[@lyssasletters3232]

Love how you highlighted the qualities of the oil pastels by fading out to abstract marks towards the outside of the painting/piece of artwork!❤

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you very much! I think it gives a nice touch while also making them feel a bit more like soft pastels

[@HailieMchris]

Excellent video. Very practical tips about size of paper , cleaning oil pastel sticks , realistic expectations about details.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thanks a lot 😊 I thought it was important to point out some things because people get pretty disappointed when they try to make "fine details" like mine without realizing that mine aren’t that fine at all, it only seems like it

[@KrystalAnne926]

Thank you so much 😊

[@sigvardbjorkman]

I can't paint anything near this level. Having only painted a handful of pastel things by now. After having seen this video, what you can do with this really opened my eyes to the possibilities, so pastel medium is now added to life goals.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! I think pastels take a lot of practice but it’s doable ☺️ I love how versatile they are

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you!

[@ScheherazOdd]

Like most commenters, my initial reaction is to tell you how talented you are, but being an artist myself, I know better! Your ability is the result of hours and hours and hours of practice, and it shows! This portrait is absolutely amazing ! I didn't know that it was possible for oil pastels to work this well!
I wish Sennelier and other art supply companies would give away products to those of us who watch these RUclips videos, and are just starting to learn how to use them. Cheap oil pastels are so dry compared to the professional grade ones... It makes it very difficult to learn!

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it ❤️ I was using their paints way before they sent anything, I think they are well worth the price and since you don’t really need that many sticks I don’t find them that expensive. You can combine them with mungyo gallery for example and those are much cheaper and of good quality

[@YaSmithe]

​@@YolandaBlazquezwhat stick colors do you recommend as essential on top of a mungyo set?

[@LELOLIVROS]

AMAZING!!!!

Sennilier are good for the final application. They're like butter. Nice portrait.

Lots of artists use them only for the final layers but I like them for the whole process ☺️

This was so helpful and educational. Today I got a box of Sennelier oil pastel 36 set. Looking for more tips and tutorials on working with oil pastel.

Thank you so much! You can do it too 😊

[@susankelly4911]

Hi Yolanda that painting is beautiful. I could not imagine it working so well on grey paper. I thought " What is she doing?" I thought there was nothing wrong with the first one and the I saw. NOPE being written across her, poor thing! 😂😂 on the white paper and saw you going for the grey paper I thought his should be interesting and believe me it is. I'm amazed at how well the grey paper worked. Shows how much I know! I'm learning something new every day and this looks stunning. And I now that you know very well what you're doing. ❤ It's amazing. You are gifted. I love watching what you do. Thank you for sharing this. I never tried oil pastels before. I have them but wasn't quite sure what to do with them and what kind of paper to use them and actually this is the first time I saw a pad made for oil pastels. I didn't think they were available. So that's something I learned too today. I enjoyed the unboxing. I love to see new art Supplies and what's out there. You just inspired me Yolanda. God bless you . Much love Susan. 👍💕💕🇮🇪🙏🙏🙏🎨❤❤❤

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much Susan! ❤️❤️ This one is actually a green paper but I normally use gray and I love it! Light gray, dark gray and muted blues ❤️ I think colored paper works really well to make all other colors stand out more. This is the only oil pastel pad that I know of but you can use them on many different surfaces 😊 I like sanded papers the best.

Only just discovered your channel today and what a beautiful piece of art to be introduced to! I’ve had a large set of Sennelier oil pastel sitting in my studio for nearly 10 years now but have never used them…..perhaps this will finally encourage me to finally give them a go……..Thank you!😊

Thank you so much! I hope you give them a go, they are really special ☺️

[@charmawow]

@@YolandaBlazquez You`re welcome.😊I usually paint in oils......I think a large portrait would be a good start to get used these.
