I'm an old (70) Professional wildlife & portrait artist, I have taught classes, know all the "RULES", and decided I wanted a loose abstract landscapes done with the oil pastels, for that awesome rich wild colors...I'm thoroughly ENJOYING your lessons, researching all the lessons to apply when I dig into the work...Bing watching your videos! Just wanted to THANK YOU for all the great videos for FREE, I could never afford lessons, and I'm just so GREATFUL for them!!!
This tutorial made me see oil pastel paintings as equivalent to oil paintings. Loved learning from this video and made a lovely painting myself. My family and friends are all praises for my this painting. Thanks Matt for such an inspiration.
I always wondered how i could layer colors with oil pastels especially since i work with a limited palette and this video was very helpful. Now i'm gonna start using textured paper and hopefully it will make it easier.
@Simran Singh ruclips.net/channel/UCqCf_JHBbWm5l8lZjQ_IckQ ...and also ruclips.net/user/raizes two very good channels completely dedicated to Oil Pastel
You are amazing. I already did two oil pastel pictures based on your videos, this is one of them. It's unbelievable how fast one can progress with a great tutor. Keep up the good work and thank you very much!
Amazing!! I'd love to see more impressionist oil pastel videos. Can we have a video on the basics of impressionist landscape with oil pastel for Absolutely beginners? I'm experimenting with oil pastel but I need to learn a lot. Thank you so much. I love the painterly look too.
Love this tutorial. Gorgeous landscape. I would love a place like that to just sit with my dog and shut out the world. It looks heavy. Thank you for this. I never tried oil pastels before I wasn't really sure what to do and how to use them. They kind of intimidated me until I saw this tutorial. Thank you. I no longer feel intimidated but rearing to go and try it. What can possibly go wrong. Well the week I'm having now. Everything!!🤣🤣🤣🤣. But at least I will have tried and made that first move and keep trying and hopefully get better. We all have to start somewhere. Thanks again. God bless Susan 👍👏🎨🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞
Wonderful video. I have been thinking about having a break from watercolour and trying out oil pastels, or watercolour background with a pastel subject/foreground. I love the expression you can achieve with this medium. You demonstrated how to use the pastels effectively which is incredibly helpful. Thank you for a lovely video :)
Wow !!! This is the most informative video I have found so far regarding how to use oil pastels in general aside from getting that painterly look …thank you
Very good, very informative video. I’m drawn to oil pastel. As an oil and acrylic painter who has a strong background in soft pastel in my former incarnation, I’m fascinated with this medium. Your tutorial is much more ‘informing’ in their use. Thank you. I will be following you and your tutorials on this subject… 💖
Really enjoyed this! Wonderful skills that you have shared. It is amazing to see the beautiful landscape emerging from the meticulous "brush"strokes.... I hope I'll be able to learn these skills...... Thank you so much and Best regards.
I’m truly enjoying your teaching… You’ve ‘showed up’ as I’ve just decided that oil pastel with possibly experimenting with a watercolor under painting has taken root… Your work is amazing as is exactly what I was looking for and needed. Trying to decide which brand of pastels right now. Your suggestions have helped there, as well. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for this! 🙏 I got a set of oil pastels way back, but never got round to it! I will now though! 🎨 You gave me the kickstart I needed for this medium - so greatful! ❤ I will definetely check out your website too! ⚘
Ooo, Yikes! I just traveled to your RUclips page and see that you actually don’t have a collection of videos on the subject of oil pastel. I hope you do more eventually. In the meantime, I believe I can convert some of your videos in painting in oil as well as some of your drawing videos into instruction that will help with my education on oil pastel. Again, thanks for this one. Very good 👍🏼
Thank you this is extremely helpful, I bought some polyurethane to make layers of pastel but I should probably invest in some good cold press (?) paper
Beautiful! I use dry pastels but love oil painting so I will try some oil pastels. I think it would respond to oms and textural things that a palette knife might be fun to use. I come from a watercolor color background yet loved oil painting and with the cost of supplies,this might be as close as it gets for me. Thank you.
Consider being more painterly by first building a tonal underpainting with a first layer of oil pastel with the addition of an alkyd gel like Resngel rubbed into the first layer of oil pastel. Better integration is achieved. Your use of. lues is very nice.
Love this way of using oil pastels for texture and vibrancy of not smoothly blended colors but would you kindly give any suggestions for managing oil,pastels paintings? I bought a spray fixative for oil,pastels but wondering how long would I have to wait for such thickness of stuffs to dry. Please help me. Thank you for your sharing
Super useful info! I am totally new to oil pastels and this video was awesome! Thanks man!! As always, I can count on your videos to learn me something new!!;)
This is great, thanks so much. I'm wondering why you use orange paper? I personally find the orange bits peeking through to be distracting, but is that the effect you're going for?
He does a beautiful job, I wish I could do it like he does but I am a beginner and tried to follow along and fell behind rather quickly because I have no idea how to use the pastels.
Wonderful instruction and “painting”! How do you finish an oil pastel “painting” - frame with glass?....”varnish”? ...frame w/o glass? Does an oil Patel eventually “dry” so that the painting is permanent?
You can finish the painting by spraying fixative over it. This will prevent the artwork from smudging or getting ruined. If you don't want to use fixative, then you can frame the piece to protect it.

The oil pastel landscape with tree is awesome. You are so talented Matt. Thanks again. Another Matt here in San Diego.
This tutorial made me see oil pastel paintings as equivalent to oil paintings. Loved learning from this video and made a lovely painting myself. My family and friends are all praises for my this painting. Thanks Matt for such an inspiration.
Wow, brilliant work. I have been painting for about a year and someone just gifted me a set of oil pastels. This was very inspiring.
I always wondered how i could layer colors with oil pastels especially since i work with a limited palette and this video was very helpful. Now i'm gonna start using textured paper and hopefully it will make it easier.
This is fantastic, thank you! Looking all over for a video on oil pastels. Hopefully you'll make more!
Thank you! Will do!

Amen about color names...lets use value and color to describe. Thank you!
Just finished my paintig. I am quite talent free, but it looks great! Thank you very much, this was really helpful!

Thank you so much for helping a soft pastel beginner such as myself. I FINALLY got it! Yay!!!
Thanks a lot, it's so awesome for a beginner like me! I haven't seen oil pastels used this way and I love it. I feel tempted to try it!
You are a fabulous teacher, your work is beautiful! You have inspired me to pick up my oil pastels once again, my favorite medium when I was a kid.
Wow this is amazing! This is by far the best explanation of how to use oil pastels I have ever seen! Thank you!
Love the music thanks
As I’ve just statutes ive turned the sound off..
That way I can learn just by watching you all the best.
You are the king of oil pastels! Such a joy to watch! Thank you :)
Looks great! Thank you for sharing this and for your detailed explanation. This may be my cue to get those oil pastels out and give it another try.
Really enjoyed this! Wonderful skills that you have shared. It is amazing to see the beautiful landscape emerging from the meticulous "brush"strokes.... I hope I'll be able to learn these skills...... Thank you so much and Best regards.
Love this. I think I have my project for the holiday break! Thank you 😊
I just bought a small pack of oil pastels to try them. This video couldn’t have come at a better time!
Merci infiniment pour cette excellente démonstration ! 👍

Learnt so much with just one video! Thanks a lot
Wow, it looks like my potentially future favorite medium. ❤❤ . I will definitely try learning it.. it looks so amazing like a real oil painting
Matt rewatching as I love the guitar music and to see you do oil pastels. Hope you have more oil pastels before 2020 is over. A favorite for sure.
Thank you so much for this! 🙏 I got a set of oil pastels way back, but never got round to it! I will now though! 🎨 You gave me the kickstart I needed for this medium - so greatful! ❤ I will definetely check out your website too! ⚘
Beautiful can't believe oil pastels can work so amazingly 😘❤️👌👌
still helpful 2 years later!! took notes though the whole thing, now am gonna try to do it myself

Wow, your explanations are so helpful! I have never used oil pastel and would like to learn. Thank you for helping us with your instruction.
I really like your videos. Please do more videos on oil pastels and soft pastels.
This was something really superb...👍👍.. I’m so very inspired I’m going to dust my pastels which were lying back for quite sometime
Terrific explanations and artwork 🖼
Wow ❤ Need more oil pastel Tutorials please
Gorgeous painterly effect I love it 😊
This is everything i ever needed!!! Thank you.
I just wanna crawl inside and live there forever ✨
Thank you this is extremely helpful, I bought some polyurethane to make layers of pastel but I should probably invest in some good cold press (?) paper
It is so rare to find “oil pastel art “ because a lot of people use soft oil pastel
AWESOME OIL PASTEL ART!!
It's far more better than any other oil pastel videos on RUclips!
Thank you!
Very beautiful painting! Have a question : in what circumstances use brown paper, in what circumstances use white paper ? 🙏
This is amazing... Can't wait to try this.
This is beautiful!!!
Beautiful! I use dry pastels but love oil painting so I will try some oil pastels. I think it would respond to oms and textural things that a palette knife might be fun to use. I come from a watercolor color background yet loved oil painting and with the cost of supplies,this might be as close as it gets for me. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this! Just as I was going to revisit my oil pastels. 😊
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much. Nice work
Simply marvelous
What kind of oil pastels do you use to have that kind of texture
Lots of great tips, thank you!
I just got a box of oil pastels for Christmas. Never having used them I found your tutorial so helpful. Now to try it on my own. Thanks so much.
Consider being more painterly by first building a tonal underpainting with a first layer of oil pastel with the addition of an alkyd gel like Resngel rubbed into the first layer of oil pastel. Better integration is achieved. Your use of. lues is very nice.
Beautiful process!
Excellent video and thank you for the tutorial. How can we sign an oil pastel painting, supposing we have no white paper area left?
Love this way of using oil pastels for texture and vibrancy of not smoothly blended colors but would you kindly give any suggestions for managing oil,pastels paintings? I bought a spray fixative for oil,pastels but wondering how long would I have to wait for such thickness of stuffs to dry. Please help me. Thank you for your sharing
It looks like a painting. Nice
Very good video. How dies one seal/preserve and frame oil pastels?
Gorgeous and inspirational!
Beautiful painting!
I've tried oil pastels several times and didn't like them or my results. I'll be trying again with this. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Quality of pastels really matter a lot when it comes to oil pastels.
Wow..!! That's an amazing work!
What type of fixative or varnish do you use? It's a question, thank you for your video and your answer.
Wow! Thanks for that
Amazing very helpful tutorial
so beautiful!
Super useful info! I am totally new to oil pastels and this video was awesome! Thanks man!! As always, I can count on your videos to learn me something new!!;)
Extremely well and beautiful 👌 thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Sir. Wonderful work. Excellent teaching style
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
This is great, thanks so much. I'm wondering why you use orange paper? I personally find the orange bits peeking through to be distracting, but is that the effect you're going for?
Love oil pastels, thank you! Very nice painting!
Very beautiful. Love your technique. I have problems with detail. You sure don't.. Lovely, O
Wonderful! Look forward to following along with the full tutorial on your site. I have a small set of sennelier’s that I think will work.
Great tutorial, and so inspirational!!!
It’s gorgeous.
Great video. But would love to see the source image while you worked. Thanks
I learn from you.
Can you please tell me what type of oil pastel painting should paint on dark color pastel paper.?
This was a wonderful lesson!
This is very beautiful omg thank you
AWesome landscape!!
Quite lovely! Thank you for the great tutorial!
Excellent video! I have learned a lot! Thank you!
thank you! so inspiring!
Pls do you have any pictures of roots in oil pastel
He does a beautiful job, I wish I could do it like he does but I am a beginner and tried to follow along and fell behind rather quickly because I have no idea how to use the pastels.
Está um espetáculo lindíssimo trabalho parabéns 😊
Wow, this was excellent, thank you! I hope I one day can afford these superior oil pastels. What set did you have (how many colors)?
That is just amazing!!!Thank you very much!
Awesome tutorial, I love oil pastels but it's difficult medium, hope for more oil pastels tutorials 😀
Do you sketch it out with pencil or dark brown?
Thank u for such an amazing idea
Wonderful instruction and “painting”! How do you finish an oil pastel “painting” - frame with glass?....”varnish”? ...frame w/o glass? Does an oil Patel eventually “dry” so that the painting is permanent?
You can finish the painting by spraying fixative over it. This will prevent the artwork from smudging or getting ruined. If you don't want to use fixative, then you can frame the piece to protect it.
How long does a 9x12 oil pastel landscape take to paint on average?😊
I've heard many people say that fixatives is not good for oil pastels?? Or is it possible to seal as much of oil pastel on the surface witha fixative
