Which drawing is your favorite? Also Have you used these? Or will you?

[@Cien_ciyen]

All of them. And no, never used oil pastel but maybe i will

[@AtelierArts]

I LOVED ALL OF THEM! But I will say that my favorite is the 2nd and 3rd ones that you did because the colors just popped and spoke to me more~ Beautiful work😁🖌🎨💛

[@kristanseachon4610]

Loved all of the drawings someone should pay for a lifetime supply of sellinier and mungyo for you're skill deserves it

[@almendrajosette]

I like the female drawing more only because the way you drew her facial features she almost looks like the type of female you'd see in a Renaissance painting and I love that.

[@tyto6259]

I liked the flat top boi the most too

[@Maigali55]

Its ok if your sponsored, don't work for Free Bestie! Not only should they have sent you the products to review but also payed you for your time to film and edit this video. You can still give an honest opinion because this is a review after all. Don't let them get free promo and make money off you it says a lot about a company that does this. We love you and your craft!!

[@Tisbilly]

big on this!!

[@doppomori_]

you really are the only artist i can watch all the way through, i love the way you do EVERYTHING. you've really inspired me to more with my art

Facts!! I usually have to speed up or skip through other people's videos but his are so entertaining start to finish

Love his technique.

[@TacoLlamaYES]

Sometimes I think bean really knows what he’s doing and professional like and then he refuses to acknowledge the color green again, i love it

[@Dausypoo]

Im im a completely different genre of art than you. But I find your color choices and the smoothness and shapes you have in your drawings to be totally study worthy. I am obsessed. Ive used oil pastels before but what youre able to do with them is so impressive.

[@SwedePotato314]

This. As I was reading your comment it was almost exactly what I wanted to say. I use different mediums, the genre and my style are vastly different. But his work is incredible. I honestly think doing a study of his work would do me A LOT of good. To get outside my comfort zone, be more loose and expressive, and play with unexpected colors. I actually bought this set of pastels a while ago, so I'll take this as my sign.

[@Hamppariranskis]

Well said! He really pushes the colors to their limit. The art style itself is so distinctive and original too

[@lilacmarble8720]

thats crazy how well the fixative brought the colours out omg

[@Shrimpyfellow]

I personally believe that someone’s art style really comes from the artists personality. And I think that really shows with you! Your personality is fun and unexpected and so is your art style!

[@AtelierArts]

I need a print of all three of these because these are too beautiful and cool to not make prints of! I love the colors you use and I really love your imagination to your art! Its so inspirational to me, my channel, and my style~🖌🎨❤😁

[@mewmew6158]

I feel the same way!!! The color palettes are SO nice to look at!

[@aliwithabee]

I know right? they're so gorgeous to look at!

[@Bat_Fiend.]

Interesting that they could be a dupe for sennelier, might have to try them since that would save me some coin. As always I love your reviews, content, art and personality! ❤

[@salem4800]

*selener 👀

[@liliax9147]

They’re really nothing like sennelier IMO. Sennelier is creamy and these are more sticky, and I actually don’t think they layer well unless you blend them out with your hand or something first like he does in the video

[@Kyomiibrown]

They are NOT a Sennelier dupe at all. They are more suited to impasto style - they are difficult to work with.

[@Kyomiibrown]

@@liliax9147 Agree 100 % I was very disappointed with mine.

[@ColorMyWorld]

Caroline, Don't bother. I ruined several pictures using them. Literally you finger gets stuck to them, they peel off, flake and aren't worth the 25 they cost.

[@justacatwhocantype]

I like these, but not for a whole picture. Because yes, these are STICKY, that is exactly what I thought when I first used them, my goodness are they ever sticky. I also find them quite inconsistent. Many of the colors are nice and creamy and opaque, and then you get some inbetween that are transparent and feel like a glue stick. I like them, and I would buy them again for what they cost, I think they are a really good value, but I do not want to use them just on their own. My favorite oil pastels are Mungyo Soft and Neopastel, which I find very similar to eachother. I like that smooth even type of creaminess. This sticky thing about the Paul Rubens does make things difficult for me. And man, I am glad that someone else has finally mentioned it, because with all these positive reviews, I was feeling like I am the only one who finds that an issue. I like to start out with a harder pastel and then take the Paul Rubens to add the final layer, I think that works really great, but I have not enjoyed doing the full work with the Paul Rubens.

[@RainbowRagdoll]

I want you to be aware of the fact that you are the only opinion I trust when it comes to reviews on oil pastels 😂 I'm trying to find a set for my travel sketchbook, and you are the first and only name that comes to mind when it comes to oil pastels. Much love Bean 💙💙💙

[@zattart]

I don’t think I’ll ever get over how much I love your stylization of the face and your use of color. Also, I’m left handed too! Amazing as always

[@MM-dw5ir]

Can i just say i really appreciate this non sponsored, honest review? I have absolutely no problem with artists accepting sponsorships or products, but it is also refreshing to hear some more open opinions :D

[@bizbok]

I clicked sooooo fast. These were the first oil pastels I ever used and bought. I commented once or twice wanting you to review them because I was undecided. The crumbles were frustrating for me too! but I found if i left the crumbs on for a day or two they seemed to dry out and lose the stickiness so I could brush the piece carefully. With the shiny finish of each piece it just made me more aware of how my fingers were being used so any prints on the piece were done purposefully. Also a q-tip enabled me to smudge in finer detail and some areas honestly I found were best not being smudged AT ALL. I’m AGAIN so glad you reviewed these. The first piece you did was my favourite and the fixident really helped the colours to POP.

[@estherferrara]

Your work is wonderful but your personality is supreme. You make my day. Please post more often.

[@Doyoufolkslikecoffee]

I just want to say thank you! I've been in a pretty bad place lately and thanks to you , your art , and your personality , I'm starting to come round to a better place You make me smile with your AMAZING personality and the more a person smiles and laughs the harder it is to be sad. and your art inspires me in my own art journey. So again thank you for being you!

[@spiralfairy]

I really like that last drawing! the blue highlight you put in the underneath of people's noses in your drawings is so satisfying and makes the faces really "pop" to me

[@tyto6259]

Mr. and or Mizz. Bean i think this has been your best video yet. I think the duration was good and the audio

[@rasp5131]

Ikr we love a good long juicy video

[@rachelb1119]

So fascinating to me that people actually make art with oil pastels. Not many people out there using oil pastels.... But your art is incredible!

[@sarkozywasthere]

Genuinely glad I caught this. I've got watercolors from Paul Rubens and I definitely know the feeling of having to just play with them and get used to them. I love them though and I've been curious about oil pastels after getting a Faber Castell set in an art box. Im glad to hear basically the same thing that I heard about their watercolors: mid-ish quality at a good price. Putting these on my amazon wish list right now. P.s. my fave was the flat top boy.

[@KiwiBates]

Gurl your energy and presence is EVERYTHING! you inspire me to do art!

[@georgiaosborne9300]

I love your reviews because you have so much personality and energy, you just put everyone in a good mood slay king

[@hiraliousart]

AND I love your style!!! The colors and blending are really beautiful and I enjoy the exaggerated features of your subjects very much. I like the scratching away of material too! So glad I found your channel! 💜🧡

Thank you! I've always loved pastels and just getting back into art as an outlet period. Thank you for reviewing all these different pastels so I can pick what's best for me!!! 💖

[@ozzywazzy5787]

Thank you for posting. It's so nice to see someone else work with these oil pastel. I personally adore this set and recommend them to folks. I really adore how the second face came out truly. :) Best wishes. 💛

[@a.harrington1634]

I love seeing both your background art and the art you make for videos. Just your whole vibe is so comforting and encouraging. (I got back into my weird little sculptures after watching one of your shorts; you're really inspiring.)

[@Angelica_h023]

Thanks for reviewing these, it’s good to know about the inconsistency with the texture issue. But, WOW these two drawings are wonderful!! So gorgeous when you added the texture of the scratchy-scratch on the last one. (Bummed it was a frustrating process because of the stickiness) Personally, I 😍love😍 the Chi-Chi hair inspo close up piece, the character is rather androgynous and I love the composition of the figure being partially cropped. Gorgeous work as usual. 💗

[@molokobritt]

That’s flattop drawing of yours made me wanna jump outta my braids lol 🤣 Love you and the art

[@AnastasiaYGamble]

I love both drawings, the colors and facial expressions are amazing, and the background of flat top boy/ scratchy scratches really accentuate it💕🔥 Paul Rubens are on my wishlist; want them even more after seeing this video!

[@nicole-ee7ec]

gosh, your videos always put me in a such good mood, and i love your art deeply

[@flaneurthoughts]

I love your videos and reviews! Your happy personality radiates, thank you. I'm just starting out with oil pastels - currently have the Sennelier 48, waiting for my Munguyo 48 and also have several less expensive ones from Daiso and some VanGogh.

[@someonesomewhere1100]

I'm so excited to see you with oil pastels again 🤗😍

[@MCJMFP]

I love seeing your techniques and style progress and grow. 🥰 When that second check popped! Damn!!

[@BevChoy]

I am SO glad I found your channel. Your energy and excitement are contagious ❤😊

[@Imikiko]

I love the flattop so much.. it's just so beautiful, I paused and just looked at it for like 5 minutes. Thanks for the video!

[@CKArts6]

This was an EXCELLENT review. You gave all the pros and cons. I like creamy but with sticky crumbles the side of my hand will mush them around. Still I might try them. I always learn so much from you- I like that you pointed out the values were less dark when you blended- but it looked a lot better with the fixative. Anyway, you’re truly the best and love watching you do op. I would watch a whole op painting in real time without skipped parts or speeded up if you posed that.

[@KonnerDean]

I really enjoy these. Having started with such firm and un-blendable pastels, the Paul Rubens have been exactly what I wanted.

[@mysticwolf11]

I was just re-watching other review videos wondering when the next one would come, and now it's here! Hooray!

[@Lunch_Meat]

Oh my god! Those drawings!! Glad you reviewed these cause that might be my next brand to try now

[@rominac.8515]

I love your art 😍 the color choices are so cool. Because of you I bought my first set of oil pastels. I am inspired.

[@Kellyaroman]

I absolutely adore all of your videos! Also if you’re looking for recommendations for future videos- I’d love to see you try like an a strictly black and white oil pastel drawing or a monochromatic portrait with just various shades of purples or blues for example. I absolutely adore all of your art and your art is so inspirational to me with my art :’)

[@hayebina]

Incredible work as always! Its a pleasure to watch you do your magic.

[@aoa3484]

Always love your content! You’ve inspired me so much over the past two years. Your videos introduced me to oil pastels and I have loved them since. Plus you’re left handed which has truly been helpful to me as I learn more about Art. I have used a few different oil pastels including the mungyo and crayola, but my affordable go to oil pastel is from hobby lobby. The Master’s Touch Premium Soft Oil Pastels from hobby lobby are pretty decent and I would love it if you tried them out! Also, added the Paul Rubens to my Amazon cart 😂 Again thank you for sharing your passion, creativity, and talent with me and the rest of this weird world! Stay Awesome!!! 🤩🥰

[@raelynbag]

As a non professional it’s so interesting to see the pieces that “don’t work out” because every time you put pen to paper it just blows my mind how talented you are. But I trust your expertise

[@vastaria1830]

Just discovered your content! So happy i did. Ive been stuck with choosing and using oil pastels. Love your work!

[@fuchsfarben]

Both drawings are bomb, but I gotta go with the second one as well. The flat top with the funky scratches just looks so good! I might not be someone requesting these reviews, since I don't work in oil pastels myself, but I sure do love them :)

[@tulip6549]

You’re one of my favorite reviewers of oil pastels. Thank you 💕

[@sheheeteehee2964]

The emotional build-up and the expressions in general got me entertained. We love an honest review, I like them both! I'm anticipating if you'll gonna be using them next time, I'm invested in your reaction and the birth of drama.

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

This is my first time enjoying your content and I subscribed instantly. You. Are. Hillllaaaarious! Firstly you are super talented! Secondly that flat top painting was absolutely beautiful! It was so expressive and proud and I was fully entranced by the scratchy scratchy you did all over it. I love your use of every colour. You use so much of your heart in your art and it shows! I don't know your name or what cms stands for, sorry but I'm old hun, but I really love your art and I think you are totally brilliant. God bless you hun.

Coming back to this review, thanks, I was thinking about the Paul Ruben, but you made up my mind, thanks

[@Ahava_Hippie]

I've only ever learned to use chalk pastels, but I adore how all your work comes out and I'm very intrigued by the oil pastels! I remember being directed away from them because they messy.. but honestly what part of art isn't messy?! Anyway im loving your work, I'm a fan! So inspired by all the colors you use and your style is fabulous ✨ 💖

[@meowmeowidk]

Absolutely love the second portrait! As to recommendations of pastels to check out - van Gogh oil pastels! They are pretty cheap I think and maybe a bit less creamy but they are fun to use (their white seems to be better for blending because it is not that opaque tho)

[@SherifTariq]

Liking it? LIKING IT?!! How about ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT, you danged perfectionist!!! It’s GORGEOUS. STOP JUST LIKING YOUR ART. LOVE IT.

Your art drawing and pastel colouring is fantastic♥️👏👏👏Bit nervous about using Oil Pastels.Thanks for demo.

[@lcarolc03]

So great , love your honesty.

[@Livelifebetter]

I'm on my second box of the Paul Rueben oil pastels. I started with Sennelier but I'm a new artist and Sennelier is really pricey. I love Sennelier bc they're like lipstick and the colors are amazing. I'm a big fan of the uber soft oil pastels. I agree Paul Rueben OP's are a decent Sennelier knock-off which is why I use them. I love the blendability of PR. And I do love the colors, however you're right, there is some inconsistencies with creaminess and they do tend to be a little shiney. Neither of those things stop me from using them.

[@susankashmiri6199]

Beautiful work! Thanks for the review, very helpful

[@roboduck2580]

[@leaott296]

I just found you and Wow! You're so funny and you articulate the characteristics of your media so well. I love your art style too. I like the flat-top painting the best because of the scratching. I have never seen this technique before. It really adds to the overall feel of the painting. You did such a nice review. One thing I'd like to see you try is the pallet knife technique. I liked and subscribed so I can see more of your inspitational work. Love 😘
