You made his fur look so soft! I have some Crayola pastels but didn’t really like them. That’s because I didn’t know how to use them lol! Using them as paints with mineral spirits is just the thing, great idea.
Yes it makes pastels a lot more fun using different techniques to achieve different textures. Thank you so much for sharing 👩🎨😀
Absolutely fantastic demonstration of the versatility of using solvents with oil pastel on an entire painting to get full details.
Thank you, It’s nice to work outside the box to achieve your goals. 👩🎨🎨😀
nice job! I have only used the oil pastels as they are and haven't tried gamsol and a brush. I'm planning to try it. Thank u!
Thank you Michele!! Yes, it makes a world of deference using the Gamsol. Hope you enjoy using them just as much as I do! 😀👩🎨🎨
32:15 Did you simply used white pastel on your brush to pain those fine hairs? was the white opaque enough?
Similarly, at 21:19 did you simply use white oil pastel on your brush to paint the highlights in the eyes?
@miklos Nemeth yes and you can make it more opaque when you keep working the brush into the oil pastel it basically melts it down. If you have too much oms on your brush and don’t work it enough you could end up with a more translucent look. If it looks a little too translucent still pending on what oil pastels you use you could also let it dry and go back over it. Which that could give you a more realistic look anyways because in real life some hairs can be more translucent than others. Hope this helps and happy creating! 👩🎨😀🎨
A tip for using the dusties is to have an easel that goes a little past vertical so the top of your board is closer to you and the dust falls down - have some napkins or paper towels to catch all the dust - but that will keep it from getting on the rest of the work.
For the oils, try the Mungyo Gallery artist line - not as expensive as Sennelier but also a bit firmer than Senns so they are my workhorse brand down here in Florida.
Great advice KMGunn! 😀
Super cute! Thanks for sharing your technique.
Thank you Tracy next video will be another oil pastel but will be a two part video. Super excited painting this one.
So cool - I will definitely be checking that out. Just starting to use oil pastels so love learning different techniques - nice to find you!
Thank you for subscribing and happy to have you here!! Yay! 😀
what is the name of that mineral spirit you use?, i use gamsol
I use Gamsol by Gamblin same one :)
@@dcfineart1562 Cool! I only use it in places where the pastel is difficult to blend and for details. I hardly ever use it on the Mungyo, cause the blend so perfectly
Beautiful!!
Thank you Avery 😀
Hi
Does the Sennelier Spray Fixative has a smell?!
@vey Stone it’s been a while since I used it. I’ve since changed to a oil pastel varnish. I will have to check when I get home to make sure, im currently traveling at this time and not near it.
@@dcfineart1562 an oil pastel varnish? Which one and.... does the one you are using has a smell?
Im looking for something that doesn't have a smell cause smells trigger migraines! 😥
@vey Stone I just remembered why I didn’t remember the spray I used it in my shop and had to leave it to dry in there because it was that strong. Yes it has a really really strong smell it’s bad. The varnish I used in my studio and It didn’t smell up my whole studio so I think your good on that one but it’s just my personal opinion it maybe be different to others. The varnish I’m using is by Talens it’s in a glass bottle and is a little pricey but it works great if you don’t go really thick on your oil pastels. Others have used hair spray and it seals it. Hope this helps :)
@@dcfineart1562 thank you! Hairspray is what I have been using, but I wanted some archival option.
@@dcfineart1562 I google Talens Pastel Fixative and saw some images. I saw 2 options. A spray bottle that says 061 Concentrated Fixative and a glass bottle that reads 061 Pastel Fixative. Did you try the spray and didnt like it or do you use the liquid just because?
I thought in pastels you work dark to light which is opposite of how to use colored pencils? I could be wrong I am just starting my journey with pastels and have watched so many videos on it. But like my daughter who is a natural gifted artist says if that works for her then it works. I probably get too hung up on technical issues but I just thought that was what most did was dark to light but it looks beautiful!😍 I am so not trying to be mean or anything just trying to learn myself.
Your daughter is correct, I also work dark to light with pastels but I hop around a lot so some areas that are light I try not to saturate with another color. Same with color pencils you try and leave your brightest area clean so it stands out white or with a lighter color. Watercolor you work light to dark. Experiment with that medium to see what happens when you go dark to light or light to dark. There is no right or wrong way to create art so don’t worry too much, just have fun. 😀 I’m thinking 🤔 this would make a great video because it is confusing and a very good question that I hear alot. Thank you so much for sharing. 🎨👩🎨
No harm using up old art supplies, a gift, or an experiment that lead to owning something other than ur preferred medium, but otherwise, why wouldn’t a person just use oil paint on a panel if they prefer to paint like this?? The chunky buttery sticks r designed to create a certain look. Sure, mineral spirits or even acetone can b used to create an effect, but in this case we r using the solvent to reduce the tool into basic oil paint. Even the sandy board has an intended use (to grab pigment off of the stick & to create better adhesion for a thick application). As u say work smart not hard, so I hope the viewers understand that these r not tools to reach for if they prefer to create a smooth tight value oil painting with a brush. Especially considering the cost of soft oil pastels. Also, when considering brushes, texture is one aspect (smooth or rough, etc) but the glues & other materials used in the construction will react well or poorly to the materials they r exposed to. For instance a water color brush will resist falling apart when exposed to water but not solvents & the opposite is true for oil painting brushes. Typically a brush that works with one water product like watercolor will work with other water based products such as acrylic.
Happy painting!! 🎨
Ps: any one using mineral spirits (even low oder or oderless) as well as any oil products in general should read up on the safe storage & disposal of oil products & waste. Having rags soaked or lightly used in oil products poses a real risk of combustion (fire starting without ignition or spark). The liquid waste as well, most certainly should not b poured down a sink or into a trash bin carelessly. Fire & contamination is a serious threat.
Very good break down! :) The sanded board I bought for my soft pastels I did not like them. So they were sitting around unused until I used oil pastels on it and discovered they worked beautifuly on it. The oil pastels (only in my opinion) are a way to start learning how to oil paint if you had trouble oil painting with the paint consistency’s. You can use these as a more of a solid placement tool if that helps. If thinned down with Gamsol I was able to use the oil pastel finishing spay and it sealed it so it didn’t get on everything when touched. If you use a thicker application of oil pastels (not blended) with Gamsol even though I sprayed a lot of finishing spray it did not seal it completely leaving it subject to getting on anything it touched. All in all this is a fun medium to use just to bring joy. Thick or thin texture, detailed or loose painting all can still be achieved. Just beware of the not drying completely with the thicker applications. Paintings can pile up or if you know of anything that can seal this completely pease share love to hear your feed back. 😀 As always Happy Arting 👩🎨🎨
