- Colored Pencil Foundation Paste DIY Tutorial. This is a full tutorial how to create foundation paste. Use this product to increase the tooth of your paper , as a base for mica powders, and boost your color value when using paper that does not allow for multiple layers. This video is full of Artist Hacks, Tips and Tricks.
The written directions are slightly different than the video because I have made improvements in the recipe. The supplies remain the same.
Supply List :
Pastels 48 colors amzn.to/3OVjQu5 24 Colors amzn.to/3LSWUJQ
Mineral Oil amzn.to/3shHSWq
Make sure vendor has the right listing 1 OZ Small pots to put the foundation paste 20 count amzn.to/3N31jdp
Linseed Oil amzn.to/3LQkpDj
Bee's Wax amzn.to/3KTrUrQ
Craft Sticks amzn.to/38ZRnTq
Applicators
100 Sponge Blenders amzn.to/3FEPTu4
Sofft Sponge Applicator amzn.to/3L0GQV6
800 pointed cotton swabs amzn.to/3M0IY0E
Recipe
1 tsp Linseed oil
1 TBSP Mineral Oil (Baby Oil)
2 tsp Beeswax melted (This is a change from the 1 TBSP)
1 Stick Oil Pastel
Directions
Step 1.
Chop up the oil pastel into very small chunks (Mince)
Step 2
Mix in the Mineral Oil and Linseed Oil into the Oil Pastel. Let it stand for at least an hour while mixing occasionally. You can't over mix. You can leave it longer than an hour. I have let it sit for a full day. It won't go bad. If it gets dry, just add a few extra drops of mineral oil. It should look like a liquid paste. Thinner than toothpaste, thicker than water.
Step 3
Heat up about an inch of water to a boil. Using the bottom of a tin can (I use a soda can), place the mix into the can and then the can into the water. It will float and create a double boiler. Do not heat the mix directly on a flame. Put the heat down so the mix stays warm to slightly hot. Do not boil the mix. It should not be hot enough to burn you if spilled. This is a project for adults. Children need supervision. Make sure you use adequate ventilation. Do not cook the mix. Melt slowly and gently. Do not leave the pot alone while on the flame. It's no different than making candles. Use all the same precautions.
Step 4
Melt down enough beeswax to add 2 tsps to each can. You can remelt and reuse the beeswax. Don't throw out the can.
Step 5
Swish it around so it is completely mixed then pour into 1 oz tin pots. Don't lift or move the pot until it's hardened.
Step 6
Leave the pot to harden for at least a day. The pigment will get better and better with each day. It will be very waxy and translucent the first day. The final paste is translucent. It's a stain not a paint.
Tips and Tricks
1. (New) Melt the wax first then add the melted wax to the pigment container. Mix together while the can is still in the warm water.
2. If you find your paste is too hard you can warm it in a bowl of hot water before you use it. Hard paste means you didn't add enough oil or you added too much wax.
3. If you find oil on top of your paste do not remove it. Just rub it back into the container. It won't hurt the paste.
4. If your paste does not dry 100% once on the paper or you put it on too thick dust lightly with pan pastel colorless blending powder. You can find that on Amazon. It should be less expensive than pan pastels.
5. If you find the pigment separates away from the wax, the brand of pastel you used is at fault. I like to use Mongyo Gallery. Paul Rubio brand was OK but not as pigmented as the Mongyo Gallery.
6. When creating black it will appear to have a waxy top. Decrease your wax slightly. Mix well. Black is very hard to make. It will also go on the paper as grey.
7. You can use water soluble oil pastel.
8. You can use soft pastel as long as you create a powder and use a muller. Use one stick per container. The powder will have more volume than the oil stick but when you add it to the mineral oil it will shrink down.

Hi Lori,
There's already a lot of comments here and I'm not taking the time to read them but I thought you could call this either 'Colored Pencil Paste' or 'Base Paste'. I like 'Base Paste' best out of the two.
This is a neat little product. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I'm going to order the pastels today because I think I'm going to like the paste and sooo much cheaper than Pan Pastels. I love how creative and inventive you are Lori. Too bad we don't live near each other. I'm pretty sure we would be buddies 😁
Happy Mother's Day!
YES YES YES!!! Base Paste. I love it!!!! Brilliant. It describes it perfectly and people won't get it confused with pan pastel. It's a base for many mediums. OMG you did it!!! Thank you. LOVE IT.
i know this is out for copyright reasons, but Im def referring to it as flubber stain. thats how I plan to label mine lol
@@noneyabuizz9749 Hi NoNeyaBuzz 👋. I didn't think to research the name when I came up with it. I just googled it and doggone it - there IS a product already out there called Base Paste. Thanks for alerting us to this.
HEY LORI - Base Paste is already in use on another art product. I'm so sorry I didn't think to look it up before I gave the name to you. I'm crushed because the name fit so well and I was tickled to have come up with it. Lesson learned for sure!
@@ColorMyWorld Why not just call it what it is? Air Dry Pastel Pots?
I liked “base paste” also. Maybe along the same lines - Pigment Paste?
Since You’re using the pastels as the way to get pigment powder, but it’s essentially the same concept, taking a base pigment in some form and making a fluid but solid paste.
I think if you sold these on Etsy they would sell like hotcakes! This is such a unique medium! I would buy some from you for sure! Please consider making these!
I am. I am trying to get the perfect ratio before I do it. Still Gallery is the best.
@@ColorMyWorld I would love to order some!
@rambunctiousvegetable thanks, auto correct got me again lol
I always read the comments after I put mine and I thought the exact same thing.
@@ColorMyWorld Well whenever you are ready we are eagerly waiting to place an order!!!
What an incredibly generous tutorial! You are the epitome of an ARTIST! Thank you.
I will never do my tutorials behind patreon. I will always give away my knowledge for free.
I used to have trouble getting a consistent product making small batches of lip balms with beeswax pellets. It's hard to measure accurately because they don't always lay neatly in a measuring spoon and clumps of pellets are a pain. I switched to using a small inexpensive gram scale from Amazon to portion by weight instead of volume to give me a more accurate measurement every time. I also use disposable syringes to measure the oils for greater accuracy as well. 1 tsp = 5ml, 1 Tbsp = 15ml.
Yes! Gram scales are much more accurate.
Great tip!
I started doing more percise measuring. You are right and I knew you were. I was lazy. Now I melt it first and then measure out the wax. I also decreased the amount because melted was much less than pellets. Thank you for the help.
Fantastic tips. I'm glad I read this. ❤
Can't wait for it to go on the market for millions to use it too. Plus give your family a better way to sit back and enjoy the rest of your life without ever having to worry about how you are going to pay for a cruise or a trip to a country that you have always wanted to go to. And more importantly get as many art supplies that you want without worrying about it 🤣😅💯😁🥰❤😘🙊🤞 can't wait until I see it on Amazon selling out like hotcakes. ❤😁💯
I may make them for my Etsy shop but they are just so easy to make.
@@ColorMyWorld You underestimate how much people do not want to do themselves, even when it’s easy. You’ve created this product and should probably talk to a lawyer to keep it safe and think about mass production. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
GENIUS!!! As someone with beginning carpal tunnel who LOVES coloring, this is so helpful for layering without killing my hand!!!!
You’re very generous and I love your accent
I love that you won't sell this, and instead are sharing with other artists. much respect comrade.
I hope those who decide to make this product on their own CREDIT THIS GENUINE WOMAN for it all!!!
Lori, you are truly an amazing person. You come up with this new medium and freely give it away. I am blown away by your generosity. I really look forward to learning how to make and use what you have created. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
Hi George, Thank you. I have tweeked the recipe a drop. Same ingredience but different ratio. It's my next video to come out. You have to wait a few days for the pigments to settle before fully testing it. They look great. One actually looks like smooth marker. No lines at all. Just smooth. I am pretty excited to show it. I have been like a kid on Christmas wanting to break into them to see the pigment. I also used some really cheap pastels. One box of 24 I bought on sale for 6 dollars.
Artist here. Great video. I watched the whole video. 😉 What a great way to re-purpose used up oil pastels. I think you could tweak the ingredients a little to make it archival and stable. I've made my own oil paints in the past and have researched this topic well.
Here's a few things I thought might help you with your experimentation:
1. Never use mineral oil. It never dries completely into a film and can separate the pigments when mixed with other oils like linseed. FYI all oils destroy unprimed paper, cotton, and linen over time. Your beautiful artwork will crumble in a matter of years. Use acrylic primer as a barrier between the substrate and the oily pastel.
2. When using artist's grade oil pastels and mixing them with more linseed oil, mineral oil and more bees wax you turn them into a student grade oily pastel. You might be better off using a neutral pH alkaline refined linseed oil, bees wax and your own dry pigment to make your own oily pastels in a tin. You're 99% there already.
3. If you make your own you can increase the amount of bees wax to help disperse and suspend the pigment particles better and have less separation while keeping the concentration of pigment higher thus having an artist grade oily pastel. Changing the cooling time by using a freezer to cool the mixture quicker while in the tin. I'd get into the habit of weighing out everything in grams on a gram scale vs. trying to measure it out with teaspoons and tablespoons. It's more accurate. Once you find the perfect recipe, it will be much easier to replicate over and over again by using weight (grams) over other means.
4. Pigments characteristics vary: size of pigment particles, weight of pigment particles, and oil solubility (some pigments like oil, some no so much). If you see pigments sinking to the bottom while the wax and oil is at the top it's because the oils and waxes are separating while the heavy pigment particles are sinking to the bottom.
5. Again I think removing the mineral oil might be an improvement. Try using a different oils such as poppy, safflower, or walnut. These oils are all artist friendly, environmentally friendlier, mix better together and have different oxidation rates that might better suit your needs.
6. There's also this product called stand oil. It's linseed oil that's been heated in a vacuum. It dries slower and is thicker so your oily pastel will have a different texture and drying rates.
7. Be very careful about adding any spirits, cobalt drying mediums, or black lead oil to your oily pastels. They often are harmful/dangerous especially when heated and the fumes are terrible for you.
8. Fumed silica is also great for adding body to your oils such as linseed. When you mix linseed oil and fumed silica together it makes a gel. You can added fumed silica to your linseed/wax mixture and give your oily pastels different texture.
JC can you email me. Howtoadultcolor@gmail.com Some of these things I have tried. I would love to pick your brains a bit more.
This is very interesting. But there is mineral oil in oil pastels anyway, at least in some brands.
I wanted to use the paste for fine art work, as a base for CP instead of using Pan Pastels), but I am unsure about the archival quality and the oil destroying the paper (without using gesso) was a concern as well.
But this paste looks so fantastic that I want to try it.
@@Bonnie10au Every product we use for art contains something that will break down paper eventually. I am aware of these, but mostly this was made for coloring books and people who have trouble with the layering due to physical problems or the fact that the tooth in coloring book paper is so bad. Not to mention there is never an "Acid Free" discussion. In general I assume none of the budget brands of pencils or paper are actually archival up to 100 years. I have done some tests using UVB and I have had red turn pink in a matter of weeks (Arteza). It's only been a few months but the paste doesn't seem to change once on the page. The paste will get better as far as tone in the first few week. It get very pigmented as it cures. If you look at the sky color from the first video. It was very light. The color on the paper has not changed, but the color in the tin has become very rich. It's the same hue, but darker. It happens with all of them so far. BTW Mineral oil is PH neutral. Pastels have one of the best lightfast properties of all the art media out there. I have a feeling the tiny bit of oil is out weighed by the protective properties of the beeswax. We won't know for many years.
@@ColorMyWorld thanks so much for your reply. I know you made the paste mainly for the colouring people. I want this to work because you created a wonderful product and it has a lot of potential. Sometimes I use Pan Pastels as a base for coloured pencils but it doesn't work that well for me. I prefer to use Pastel Pencils with the pans. That works very well. So to me this seems to be the perfect combination with the CP because they share similar ingredients.
I am still waiting for one item to arrive and then I will try making some paste myself. In the meantime I am watching your videos again and again, lol.
@@Bonnie10au Pan pastels are essentially powder. Much like eye shadow. I find it very hard to do CP work over them. I end up scraping most of it off.
You are amazing to share this with us. I have spent so much on art supplies and also have hand pain that limits coloring large areas. Beautiful page also. God bless you!
Still watching but had to say, I already love this! 💚
Really clever! I bet you could use this for antiquing stuff too. Fun experiment!
Yes, I did a tea stain one to see if I could and it worked really well. This isn't great for full pictures. It's a boost and 100% time saver.
Darling, this is homemade, customisable, paper-compatible gilder's paste. That's incredible! I'm keeping this technique for later use. Have you been able to test its permanence on other materials, like wood and metal? If it works, you've made the medium easier for everyone.
Not to mention that gilder’s paste is super pricey! Eek. If it works on metals, then that really would make it versatile.
Yes it can be. I am a multimedia artist and a watercolor ground would work also Art Spectrum multimedia and pastel primer, or liquid gesso. Note these can be watered down and sanded to reduce grit. I would imagine that Advanced Colored Pencil Fixative would then protect it afterwards. I know a few hacks for those who desire professional quality for selling etc. Pastelmat from Clairfontaine is a smooth surface that takes excellently to colored pencils and layers. It would also work well with this pastel paper that is as smooth as silk but holds on to that pigment. Then spray it with the Advanced colored pencil fixative, not hair spray.
Me & mom have been making this for years we just called em colored pencil slickments a similar trend started going viral with ppl grinding pastels down & making colored nail polish I told my mom this recipe was bound to show up soon. I knew peoples gears would start turning when they saw ppl grinding pastels down & adding a few things to make new nail polish colors. That ppl were going to stumble upon this seeing what they could make when grinding the pastels down. Good job love this stuff!
You are the most dear woman. So many of us are on a fixed income and cannot afford to buy all the mediums we would like. Here you are teaching for free what many would charge for either in a Patreon venu or out right sales. Thank you for your generosity it’s overwhelming to me! ❤️👏🏻
Yes and no. So many people asked me to make it for them I have. It will be available but in a professional version. You can still make the DIY version and it works.
@@ColorMyWorld You are a doll. Let me know when you are selling them.
Fantastic. Woman your are brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
EXCELLENT VIDEO...
YOU are so precious to share this with us...
God Bless YOU....
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Oh man, I have all these ingredients except the white beeswax pellets, (which I'll definitely get if I decide to make this), but ahhh idk if I can get myself to cut up my Mungyo gallery's 😭 I do have the 48 set though, and could test drive this with perhaps a color I hardly use. Either way, my lord this is AMAZING. You oughta patent this!!!
Ok girl, you got my attention. I'm a watercolorist, but I also love mixed media, and I've been interested in a medium similar to this. And I've been experimenting with my own pigment mixes using rembrandt soft pastels.
Wow! I'm so excited to try this. Looking forward to parr 2. You made a new product, holy crap.
Ditros!
You are so kind to share your invention with us. They are beautiful. I can't wait to try them. You are so precious. Thank you so much!
I watched all of this video. It was the best video I've seen in a long time.
Def gonna add this to my coloring bucket list. Very interesting product! Also nice that it doesn't cost much to make.
Wait until you see the Demo videos. I did a realistic cloud background in 16 minutes.
I'm maddly excited about trying this. I have all of the ingredients in my cart. The evil scientist in me is too excited! Lol. I have many pan pastels that I slowly have been collecting over 8 years. It would probably take another 8 years to collect them all.....but by then the colors will probably change. Lol. This makes far more sense! Have a truly blessed day!
I am making 5 more colors today for a picture that I need custom colors for. The demo should be out on Monday or the latest Tuesday. It's sponsored so they have to approve it and I missed the Friday deadline to get it in to them for Sunday.
They are not like pan pastels at all. This is a paper stain. You know how people use different color paper to give tone a boost. They use grey, tan, blue, black. Imagine being able to tint the paper exactly where you want it so you can have the best of all worlds. You can tint the background grey before doing a night sky yet leave the foreground light for brighter color. I'll be doing the demo of everything in the next video.
@@ColorMyWorld thats awesome. We are always looking for tools to do something that we don't have. I think that these will be an awesome tool to have in my arsenal. I'm still excited.
@@ColorMyWorld Hey I have a question for you. What can I use to cover or lighten the line work that will still allow me to use water media in my books? Like acrylic you can't paint over with watercolor if the acrylic is dry. Gouache would reactivate with water. White Gesso is too rough and gritty. Gel pen will smudge or bleed out. I would like to cover or lighten the line work before and not after the illustration is colored in. And I do not like removing pages from my books and also do not have a printer ATM. Only thing I can possibly think of is using a fixative or ground on top after I have lightened the line work with acrylic which I don't necessarily want to do. I've been thinking about this for days. Any suggestions?
@@blankmission5369 Nothing is perfect but I have used Winston & Newton white ink. It's not perfect but it's better than the black lines. You will get a light line so fade it inward so it's not as striking.
We love a highly inventive Queen. Brava! Bless you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. I really like how you created these. I'll definitely try this out. Also really good point on using good materials, buying cheap materials would ended up costing you more.
As an SFX artist, I found weighing the products used in mixing is better than just measuing them in cups and spoons. I use a scale to 0.1 gram for silicone and foam latex so that the prosthetics would cure properly.
Got all my stuff ordered, can't wait to make these. Looking forward to your demo video. Thanks for your hard work.
I decided to handle each demo seperately instead of lumping them all together. This way I can give specific instructions. How does realistic clouds done is 16 minutes sound :)
@@ColorMyWorld I’m going to order my stuff too! A series of videos to watch would be so great :)
@@stonecrestquilt There are 3 so far.
@@ColorMyWorld I just watched all 3. Hooked already, mixing on Sunday, thank you! :)
@@stonecrestquilt Make only a few. I am testing out some theories tomorrow and you may want the info. What brand are you using? Black is really hard to make so wait with that until I get it perfect. I have screwed black up 4 times, but it worked once after I did some extra things. I am going to put out an update video. Filming tomorrow.
i love the finish of the paper at the end. this is beautiful you’re a genius! remember us when you’re famous 👏🏻
My God Lori, your colored page is AMAZING!
Oh, this is so interesting! Can hardly wait for the next video! (Your little kitten is precious! 🥰)
Wow, you’re so clever, thanks so much for your generosity in sharing 💕
I am so glad this showed up in my feed!! You are super kind to share this!!
Lori, you have the most amazing brain to come up with all this completely new stuff! 👏 👍✨
Oh my goodness, Lori, this is awesome. I sah your Fae, the beautiful colours and fell in love with it instantly! I have ordered the Mungyo Soft Pastels and am trying to get the pots here, without having to import everything. I am so anxious to make and try them. I thank you so much for sharing your skills and knowledge. Many Products are terribly overpriced, it's so nice not to have to pay the world for something so beautiful, or not to evrn bring ablevto buy it whdns its so expensive So you are so admired and appreciated! Plus you have done all the trials and errors to get there. I am just over the moon - also I love your Fae, she is beautiful! 💕
Sorry, my mobile is a bit goofey at times - it's supposed to read:
its nice having something that doesnt cost the world, or even being so expensive, thst one can't affird it. 💕
Very interesting experiment! I believe Hajra Meeks has spoken about the longevity of your product. But I would remind everyone that proper surface preparation is so important to preserve your hard work and your artworks!
You speak of water damage to paper but all oils will eventually “eat” surfaces from fine linen, to canvas to all kinds of papers, prepare your surfaces and this could be a wonderful medium! I wish you only the very best of success!
Very interesting. Looking forward to see you color with these
Wow!! Now that's using your creative noggin!! I am very impressed and thank you for sharing. Most people don't want to fuss with the making part and would rather buy. You should patent this and sell. It's a great new idea, why shouldn't you make money at it? Well done Color My World!!
WOW 😯. You are so clever. Can’t wait for your next video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool Lori, our dear mad art scientist. I look forward to trying it. Looks like a gelato in a pan that dries and doesn't smear later...I am very excited to try this...backgrounds are my nemesis so I am hoping this will help fix the issues I am having with smooth gradient and water damage. One question, have you tried mixing an emulsifier in it like liquid lecithin? I wonder if that would give you a more even mix?
No I haven't tried liquid lecithin. I didn't even think of it. I wonder what would happen? I am going to try it. Can hurt. The linseed oil is a known color enhancer. There is no water in it. It's oil, wax and pigment. I did one with a watercolor additive and it didn't work. No this doesn't smear later at all. It feels like pencil and if there is a soft spot you can add pan pastel colorless blender and it dries it right up as soon as it touches it. Takes a fantastic seal too unlike pastel. No color change.
I had this idea and I had NO idea how to execute it. I didn't even know where to start! I tried melting pastels with mineral spirits and some oil. Didn't work great so I gave up. Thank you so much for this!!!
Wow! Lol- you really should call your channel "Color My Alchemist World" !! This is great! I tell my hubby that I'm watching the Alchemist artist and he knows exactly what channel I'm watching!
I wish you could put this on the market! And you are teaching us how to make it ! I love you Lori ❤
I may put them in my Etsy shop but not global type of thing. I love teaching. I am not a business woman. I remember saying I want to be an Art Teacher when I was 5 years old.
@@ColorMyWorld please do !
How interesting and kind of you to share how to make these. Wonderful and I love the drawing you did. So colorful! Very cool!
Bahahahaha! You’re on-screen notes….”it wasn’t fine” lol….you crack me up😂😅
And thank you for showing us this, AND how to save us trouble with experimenting. You’re pretty dang cool for all this. One of the many reasons for you very loyal fan base🙌
You are a genius💞 What a game changer, I can see so many uses for this! Bless you for sharing 💞😍😘 You must have spent hours and hours and quite a bit of money to do this!
What about powder pigments? Do you think that would work? Maybe a bit more binder is needed with the powder.
I love what you did, it is amazing! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I thought the same thing! I think you would just need to add a bit extra oil and wax to account for the amount in the pastels. I'm going to try it out as soon as I get the ingredients in!!
I just saw in your description box...
Thank you.
I forgot to say, thank you for sharing your experiments. It was fun seeing you try diff things.
Wow. This is amazing. I am not an art person. And I am aware that you're using another product as the base. BUT STILL! this is absolutely amazing. I applaud your knowledge and dedication. They look beautiful and it honestly makes me want to use this on cards and things I send to friends and family. Unfortunately I could never buy the pastels and things to do this. But just know you make me want to. So for those that have the means and have worked on their talents, I am positive they will be trying this and maybe even falling in love with it and finding new uses and ways to use this medium. Absolutely awesome! Thank you for this. I really enjoyed watching.
It sounds like a form of wax encaustic painting technique. Thousands of years old and super archival. Love the Jersey accent...reminds me of home (Jersey City).
Wow, this is awesome.
This looks like an amazing product! And great that we can use a variety of pigments, from powders, micas and pastels. I bet there are others that would work too. Great video exolaijjjg your processing and experiments what does and doesn’t work. Fantastic results on the page - I can see how it’s like the best of so many mediums and gets rid of the down sides.
I can’t stop thinking about this creation. It’s like a pigment, an ink pad, a watercolor pan and a colored mix medium all in one. I can see how this can enhance or replace so many mediums used in crafting scrapbooking and painting/coloring. It’s seems to be the answer to the problems I have with blending and large spaces with color pencils/ markers /watercolor markers.
or wanting to take all these while traveling , it’s too much and then with watercolor it’s messy- I could see making up a range of these, making my own custom pallet of colors to take on the go and travel.
I have to try this out. I have old pigments for years with not knowing what to do with them
wow, how interesting, thank you for sharing
Awesome idea
omg who knew a new medium could be made!!! 😲😲😲😯
Gorgeous. You're a genius!
WOW 😲😲 You're a genius!!! I can't wait to see these in action!! I have Mungyo pastels, but they are the chalk pastels. I don't know how you thought to do this, but WOW 😲😳😬
I address the chalk in part 2.
That's what I have too have the mungyo gallery soft pastels and love them
@@denamueller7333 I guess I need to get the Mungyo oil pastels, cause I don't think the chalk pastels by Mungyo will work.
@@RealMelodyBlue she said she's going to address chalk pastels in part 2.... I have a small set of oil pastels
You are so great! I love your channel and I want to say thank you so much for providing this recipe for all of the world to use. You are being very kind to share and not get the stuff patented. I've been excited to make this ever since i saw your video and I've learned so much about colorist... colorist-ing? Being a colorist! :P Thanks so much and God be with you and bless you.
This is so clever! Had to subscribe right away.
Apparently, Amazon no longer carries the pots. Can you give us the brand name? Also, Do you put the pots in hot water, and if so what temp? Thanks. You are a genius! Should marke these!
Chemist mode engaged!
You're my kind of gal! I love the inventiveness of this, creativity, science, time, art, experience. This is brilliant ❤🎉
Gotta patent your recipe and name so someone doesn’t sell it making millions when it’s your idea! Very very intelligent!
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic work 🥰
Thank you so much for experimenting and creating this. This is awesome. Going to make some. This will make colouring backgrounds/base layers so much easier when doing colouring pages, it will save time.
Amazing project, effort, tutorial, outstanding creativity. Ty!!!
Hello from Queensland Australia 🇳🇿 I’m making your base paste recipe at the moment. I’m going to leave them till tomorrow and then add wax pellets. I’ll let you know how it goes. Very excited 😜
What recipe are you using?
I don't comment on videos. But this video was so excellent. I became engrossed in the whole thing. You are so generous with this process. I can't wait for the next one. You are amazing. You really could patent this. A patent lawyer would be the first step. 🌸💜💙💖 I love your kitty in the bubble,
Thank you but my knowledge is free. I can always sell them premade out of my Etsy shop if I want to get into it. Right now I am happy just being a RUclipsr and making friends. The kitten loves that bubble bag. It where she wants to sleep and play all the time. It extends to a tube in the back so it's a lot bigger than it looks. When you want to take your cat with you it's a back pack and you can strap a seat belt on it and use it as a car seat.
This is very interesting. I am looking forward to the next video. Thank you!! 👍😀👽🖖
How awesome that you did this!
the most interesting art video i have seen in a long time! wow!
I call it genius; stunning and lots of talent. Gorgeous, just gorgeous.
This is so interesting and I have been looking for something was easy to use and would give my art a soft look. Ty for the idea...
OMG I love this!!! You are so awesome, Lori!! That’s why I love your channel. You are thinking outside the box all the time and sharing all your knowledge with us!
Thank you for sharing this, you are so kind. Love the way you explain. 🤩🌷🌷🌷🌷🤩
I’m not very patient, but 12 minutes before you even started tutorial was very long, I’m betting, even for patient artists :) I will check for newer videos - thanks for all your experimentation. You did it, so I don’t have to = priceless to me … again, because I am impatient.
The picture you did reminded me of gelatos, and gel sticks. That's what they look like when applied with a regular brush (wet) or makeup brush, (aka what everyone now uses to blend there distress inks) stencil brush, or cheap applicators. (Dry) Many brands make the gel sticks. Too much work for me but at least you can make your own colors. The gelatos are on the expensive side so this is nice. Idk why you keep saying watercolor can't be used in books? It totally can be used if primed with watercolor ground first. I've done it with even Amazon paper. That was the first thing I experimented on. The ground is also great for adding a little tooth to smooth paper. You might want to get your self some of those make up brushes for application of your homemade creams or pigment gels. Alot of nice colors you made for yourself! I'm totally jealous!
I have 3 sets of water-soluble crayons. The king art are a great substitute for those expensive Gelatos. I've never bought or used Gelatos, but finally saved up and got Neocolor II'S. Haven't had a chance to try them yet (I know that they are different from Gelatos). All of these tools are just FUN to play with!!!
Shuttle Art water based gel crayons are a good replacement for Gelatos and Neocolour2's. Costing £20 for 48 colours.
That's the funny part of this stuff. It looks like a combo of everything. It looks like water color, it looks like copic but isn't, it looks like pastel but it dries. I have literally had to tone down the color on the page. Wait until part 2 when I demo what you can do with this. The great part is this is cheap as heck and you can make it smell really good.
@@Colorista_1 I looked at the king art and they seem very nice. I just love all the colors you get! I must admit I have a bit of a gel crayon addiction! (Also anything water soluble). I have a few neo 2s open stock and they are different and very nice. They dissolve so nice with direct application. I like to combine colored pencil with the neo 2s. Not just for backgrounds. The neos work especially good on objects as well. I like to lay some down activate them with a bit of water and then blend in some colored pencils (prismas) next to it. It creates a very interesting color palette. Also the neos combine nicely with inktense as well. I haven't or wouldn't mix them together but slightly blended at the transition point they work very nicely together as a color palette. You get the nice intensity of the inktense with the soft semi translucent semi opaqueness of the neo colors. The gelatos can be more difficult to work with then gel crayons. They can be dry and crumbly. I love all the different things you can do with the gel crayons and also the neocolors. I love them both equally but for different reasons. My next purchase will either be the gelatos iridescent 1 set or the king arts. I can't make up my mind. Break out those beautiful neo colors and have a play with them when you get a chance. Your in for a treat!
Hi B. Mission (I didn't want to use both initials 'cause that would have looked downright rude, lol)
What is this watercolor ground you spoke of? Can you give the brand name? I've not heard of this ground. I have both opaque and transparent gesso but my jars don't say ground so it must be a different product that you're talking about. Thank you 😊
A substitute for solvents for coloured pencils is rubbing alcohol, works great and there's no odor or residue. No yellowing or any negative effects that I've seen, plus, rubbing alcohol is cheap
Amazing very inventive!
You little chemists! They remind me of Jane Davenports layer cakes, but not matt. Fantastic! Happy Mother's Day!
This is the neatest thing! Thank you for sharing this and taking the time to show how to make it 😁
Can you use color pencil on top of it? This looks great to use to save time
Yes, that's what it's for. It's not really a medium to use alone like pastels. It's a paper stain. Think of how people use different colored papers to change the tone of the medium you us. This isn't marker, it's not watercolor, it's not paint. It's not pastel because it dries. It just stains the paper so you can add pencil on top. The application saves you hours and using it on cheap coloring books helps you by saving tooth.
Thank you so much ❤️ this is wonderful! I’m totally going to try this! Stunning artwork! 🥰❤️🤗💐🌻
You are an official mad scientist. I love it!🙃
For some reason, all the links are working except the one for the pots. I think I found them but are they the .5 oz or the 1 oz containers that you’re using?
You can also grate your pencils into dust and apply with cotton for a very similar look which you can layer and blend. This is an interesting product you have made.
Gonna try this someday! Thank you for sharing!
You are truly amazing. Creative generous and kind. This is fantastic.
I love your channel by the way.
Looking forward to your next video before committing to cooking-up this new "foundation paste". I have a set of Hobby Lobby pastels (Master Touch) that I might use for this process.
I haven't used Master Touch. That's a good idea to try.
You're incredibly creative ingenious!! Thank you my friend!! New follower!!
And you are incredibly nice Valerie
Wow! Congrats on your creation, and thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for sharing! This is something you should profit from, not a big company.
Wow, can you tell me about those little gold containers,please? Are they from amazon and what are they called? Love this art hack and I willl be definitely trying the recipe soon.
Thank you I’m going to do this - you did all the hard work and gave us this gift.
I love this. I know a lot of people add corn starch to their acrylic paints. Did you give that a try by any chance as a binder rather than the wax?
Lori, this is a mind blowing medium. Thank you so much for sharing it. I know this is awesome to use on paper because I have watch several of your videos. I'm a beginner wood burner and was wondering if you have tried it on wood. I wanted to get the stuff to make it for my birthday as a present from my husband 😉 but wanted to make sure it would work before I purchased everything to make them. If you haven't tried it that's okay. Just thought if you have than you might have a opinion about how it performed. I use colored pencils some with wood burning and blending for backgrounds are hard for me. It's possibly user error but the way this medium blends is amazing so I hope it will work. Thank you again for sharing everything you do.
MOST Impressive!
Wow I am going to attempt these. Thank you for your time and effort to creat something new to use
The newest recipe will be out soon so wait.
Thank you Lori for another great video. Can’t wait to try it.
A question: have you tried this with soft pastels or is this recipe only for oil pastels?
This is for oil pastels only. I am waiting for the set of soft pastels to arrive. They get here Wednesday. I had to order more tubs too so I'll be trying it late next week. I have a few Demo videos to put out before then anyways.
