Ooooooooooo love alll your beautiful artwork

I love love love oil pastels and would love to see more demonstrations/tutorials.

Thank you!

Beautiful work!

Thank you!

Just subscribed & liked🎉Enjoyed this…please do more oil pastels in and out of studio. 😊

Very beautiful work ❤

This was great! Useful, pretty and very interesting.

I find it so interesting to see the things each person chooses when plein air painting. There are so many possibilities! And such a variety of items that are essential for each individual. For me, at least, one thing I can’t do without in my bag, no matter the medium I’m using, is a pack of baby wipes. I always carry them, but especially when I go out with oil pastels. 😊

This is awesome.. woooooow❤

Why is there no sound?

Thanks for a lovely video. The Touch markers are lovely when they’re new, but they sadly dry out really quickly. At least mine did.

A very nice study. ❤

Also, I feel like this video deserves a lot more views than it’s got so far!

What a beautiful result! Thanks for sharing this-I’ve been using several types of charcoal (vine, harder charcoal pencils, and some dark black pastel) during live portrait drawing sessions, but I struggle getting middle values down even though I’m working on light grey paper. I like how you kept the values from getting too dark (that’s how it looks to me, anyway) and how realistic and beautiful your drawing became. I really want to try it next time-toning the paper with a layer of vine charcoal and then subtracting with a kneaded eraser before going a little darker (but not too dark) in those darkest areas. I’m not sure how you managed to keep your hands from resting on the paper and pulling off big smudges of vine, though! Well done, and thanks for teaching/sharing.

The crinkling is part of the unpacking fun 😄

Thank you for lesson 💐

Let me know how often you use your sketchbook!? ❤

Lovely! 🙂

Ive been trying to figure out what oil pastels to buy since i needed it for school when i stumbled upon your video! Super helpful thanks Diane ❤️

Thank you for sharing! I love your videos!

This turned out beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process!

I look all yours demos and I enjoy.. from Quebec, Canada. Tanks

The Sennelier have a true transparent Ultramarine... If a transparent pigment is opaque, the brand added something to the stick to make it opaque.

Those paintings-the self-portrait especially- are gorgeous ❤

So glad I found your channel because I’ve been enjoying oil pastels lately and it seems so difficult to find good tutorials using oil pastels, until I saw your videos! Don’t worry, I’m sure the channel will grow and grow. I started watching Sandi Hester years ago when she only had about 500 subscribers and her channel has blown up over the last five years. I think it just takes time. Loving your videos and thank you for uploading!

Damn! That is an excellent painting!! Just stumble upon your channel searching for neocolors 2 as oil pastels and Bam! I found real talent!! I subscribed to your channel and I will gladfully watch all you have put online in the next days! Really beautiful oil on canvas you have here! Can¡t wait to see the rest of your postings!

Awesome, what's your go to paper for pastels?

I have never been a Swatcher because those tiny squares on large pieces of paper with a bazillion colors made my head spin 😳 Your swatches, however, are so clear and manageable. And dare I say, even enjoyable looking 🫣 I am just getting started with oil pastels and will definitely look into actually swatching various combos. Thank you for a great video.

Thank you. I was looking for this info.

Can you tell me whose music is playing? I love your videos, I’m getting into oil pastels. Thanks

Wonderful Diane👏

Great review! I’ve always been pleased w my Temu purchases. (So far😂) I will say I doubt Temu is gonna be the place to buy anything dependably archival. 😂😂 but… that being said, they are great for just everyday fun art.

I’d love to see a swatch of all the markers personally!

What a fantastic comparison video!! Such invaluable information for me who's looking to buy a set of the best quality on a budget! Thank you for being so thorough!

I've used those flip out watercolors (bought at Walmart) and I thought they were awful! Didn't mix at all.

I love this painting!

I agree with your review, I wish there was a better way to store and keep them organized! Hole punching them seems like a good idea prehaps

I tried to get the soft pastels of Conda and could not find it...

Thank you very much ❤

I don't know if you know or not, but on Temu they will give you a refund if the price goes lower. You go to your orders, order details, look for price adjustment. I will check every couple days. I have them do as a credit for future art hauls lol. You can only get it for 30 days though

Love the tutorial video. May I ask what’s the name of the book you used for reference and the tool you used to scrape off op. Thanks for sharing.

I love typewriters. I painted a typewriter, but I could've never done it without sketching first like how you did. Well done, Diane! 🦋

It would be nice to see the reference photo as an inset in the frame while you are working. Just my thoughts. I do really like your work and commentary.

These big crayons What is the content. What is used to make it stick to the paper?
