Acrylics + Oil Pastel! Donut Timelapse

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Lindsay, I have used varnish to coat a lot of paintings and furniture and my Uncle has a coffee table. I made it when I was in high school shop class and it looks as good today as when I made it in 1977! His wife loved peonies and I panted them on top of the table and it has lasted all this time! I know oil paint products are trickier than most any other medium, I used acrylic paints and a UV Varathene to seal it up and it just works! Your donuts are so fun and quite pretty too! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

It's nice to know I can use oil pastels over acrylic paint. It looks like you had to use a lot of layers. It looks great! Also nice to see this on a canvas.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

No more than I do on paper

[@maryleitrim16]

Lovely! Can't wait to try it. I love my Paul Rubens oil pastels.😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks 😊

[@cindybohl9593]

I never thought of combining oil pastels and acrylic paint. Learn something new everyday! These are so realistic! So what makes a donut vegan? No eggs?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes, no eggs, dairy or lard

[@berolinastrassmann]

Oh, these look yummy and very 3D! You should consider making a food illustration calendar for 2025 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Great idea!!

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

I had a donut this morning for breakfast before driving home from Central Texas to Eastern Arizona.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yum!

[@alinamartinez4280]

Gorgeous as always!! Lindsay can you do a tutorial on acrylic inks and how to use them? Thank u!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Maybe, I have some but don't use them too often.

[@berolinastrassmann]

​​@@thefrugalcrafterMaybe they could be a good background for oil (or even soft) pastels? My guess is that if acrylic paint works well...so could inks. What do you think?

[@elizekohler6199]

Hi Lindsay. I'm taking watercolour classes and enjoying it soo much. I want to ask you what is your favourite brand of, water soluble oil pastels? I'm in South Africa.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I've only tried Crayola portfolio, mungyo and primaand they are all pretty similar. Craran dasche neicolor 2 crayons are my favorite but they are harder like a crayonthan oil pastels.

[@SomeoneWhoCrafts]

Could you use a workable fixative in between the acrylic layer and oil pastel layer? I don’t have clear gesso and I was curious if that would work too as I want to give this technique a try too

[@NelaDunato]

You don't have to use any product in between. Gesso is used to add grit so that more layers of oil pastel will adhere to the canvas. I don't see any benefit to using fixative spray.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I was going to say the same thing. Just try it over the acrylic and see what you think:)

[@StephanieLMedina89]

Whats a decent not costing arm and a leg oil paint set? And brushes?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

There are do many options. Watermixable oils are nice because you don't have to mess with paint thinner, I like Lukas berlin: amzn.to/3x67Cdw As for brushes I recommend synthetic hog bristle brushes like mimik: amzn.to/4ao5ImP zen or menta.

[@StephanieLMedina89]

@@thefrugalcrafter what are water mixable oil paints?!?!?!

[@StephanieLMedina89]

@@thefrugalcrafter i think ive also seen you use the water soluble oil pastels too?

[@JC-il4or]
