I would love to see a video on your preferred surfaces and your observations in general about different surfaces you've worked on with oil pastels. The tiger is going to look so good when it's done. I just finished a pet portrait, a black/white cat, in oil pastel for a friend. I surprised myself with how well it turned out.
Hi John, thanks for showing how to get detail, the use of the colour shapers and cotton buds, and how to fix things that you need to change. It's wonderful to be actually shown how to use oil pastels. Take care. Liz
Thank you Liz, it's my pleasure. To be honest it can get better but I am using a Canvas for this one and it brings difficulties and differences that paper does not.....paper is far easier, but of course the right paper which I will show one day. In fact I have vowed to do the video on paper when I reach my 1000 subs x
So glad to see someone showing how to use oil pastels!! Very few good vids on the subject. I love the look of oil pastels but find them very hard to use lol. I thought watercolors were the hardest until I decided to try these lol. TY so much for taking the time to show us this beautiful medium!
Thank you, I hope you have subscribed? This wasnt the best as using a canvas instead of paper but more will come as we go on! SADLY there isn a lot who have just jumped on the bandwagon of popularity and are allegging they know how but really do not!
I love your oil pastel videos so much ,

Wish I had used paper as normal, but hey I am a bit of a Maverick!
