[@midnightmelody076]

i wanted to pick up oil pastels again after putting them down during high school, and was starting to get discouraged until i found this video. this was so comprehensive and direct, and talked about all the most useful stuff i needed to know, i wish this style of video was available for all types of medium

[@SyndiaArt]

Thank you! Also, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKSomZp7mdWZgpI ;oD Have a great week

[@michaelklein5242]

Hi! I'm in the same boat! Was a pretty good budding artist and thought it would be my avocation, but I went with the piano instead. As I remember, just keep trying and experimenting, never give up! And thanks to the internet age, we now have excellent videos like this to guide us along!

[@ankursharma1461]

You probably don't know how much I rely on your videos for my art works, thank you

[@lanettesg0re]

This helped me so much I always have oil pastel lying around and had no idea what to do with them until now thank you very much for your video I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

[@fotoalive]

Great video! I tried my Gallery yesterday after making a mess dropping them cause the Amazon enveloppe was not sealed properly, I quickly put them back into the tray,then I realized later ,that because I did not put them in the original place itt was making such a mess I had to take them all off clean the tray ,clean them individually cause they picked-up other colors ! My God these these need to be handle carefully! I managed to make a first painting , I actually like them they blend very well with my fingers,but it can be pretty messy medium ! lol! I used Canson XL Multi media which is pretty Great paper to practice ! I love your Madonna! Thank you so much for your advices!💐

[@kathystaudenmayer2277]

Great Video!! So much info in a short time. I was just gifted a box of oil pastels and this video is extremely helpful. Thanks

[@randystache78]

This was exactly as advertised! Great video. I was looking for something like this because I bought some oil pastels at the dollar store and was excited to try them. I now believe they are wax crayons. I’m going to try them any way, 😁

[@SyndiaArt]

Good luck! Have a great week ahead :o)

[@stardroplet9499]

I have like 3 sets of Oil pastels I hardly use, but I loooove the creamy texture when I use them.

[@purplerider2362]

I occasionally try to do oil pastels. But now I’m actually seeing some good results. It’s pretty fun to

Wow, amazing video! I was looking for a video just like this because I got some oil pastels for Christmas and I wasn't sure how to use them. This video has definitely been helpful to me. You earned a new subscriber!

[@SyndiaArt]

This makes me very happy!!! Merry Christmas to you :)

[@marjieann3418]

I am totally "artless" /horrible with art but I'd love to give it a try. A toddler might even have better results than me but hey, this video surely helps a lot! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ♥️😇🙏

[@SyndiaArt]

You can do it!

[@danyelhudon458]

This is my favourite video that you ever done Syndia, thank you so much for your tips and tricks! I am a very big fan of you! You know something concerning this video, I’m listening it quite often yet, bc it’s remembering me you advices, since I am knowing you as professional with oil pastels! By the way, thank you for your last sendings in my emails yesterday Sunday, 7th February 2021!

[@sonomasyrah]

I am so happy this was the first video that popped up. So happy I found you to start my oil pastels adventure. 😊

[@chrischurchley7003]

Loving your tutorials as I am new to this medium. Would love to see more projects - your techniques, ideas and instruction is really motivating. Please keep going 👏👍😁

[@partingtonsmithj]

Love your videos, complete newbie now feel more confident, Thank You. Sending greetings from the UK. 🤗

[@SyndiaArt]

Oh! I wish I lived in the UK! (I'm glad the video was helpful) Have a great weekend :o)

[@swlbarely]

Thank you so much for this video. I was using soft pastels before and just switched to oil pastels and this video helps me start more intelligently instead of my usual way of just guessing my way through something. By the way my youtube channel doesnt have any art on it because Ive been a musician most of my life and just began art 2 years ago.

[@rebeccafrey7537]

I HAVE OIL PASTELS! I GOT THEM YESTERDAY, AND I LOVE THEM!

[@CrackDCat]

Thank you, you've taught me I've got the right idea and given me a new thought, of using liquid paper for light reflections. I'm pretty excited to try it :)

[@beatusqui]

Your pastels are brilliant.

[@SyndiaArt]

thank you so much

[@fanialvarez1472]

I’m so happy that I found your channel.

Thank you for making this video I am a oil pastel beginner and I was trying to find a lot in days but I never came across this one which was the best and now I made some paintings so thanks you😁

[@SyndiaArt]

I'm so glad it was helpful! :o) Have a great week!

[@ImKapiN]

thank you for being so straightforward

[@VJAllison1974]

I'm getting back into art after decades of hardly drawing or painting anything. Oil pastels are a new medium for me - I used mostly pens, markers or pencils years ago - so I had no clue how to use them properly. I have the Pentel 50 set, it was the one that caught my eye on Amazon, so I have a great start in that way. Thank you so much for your tips! I'm happily subscribed and I can't wait to learn more from you!

[@debbieotto131]

Thank you! Direct and precise! Just starting with these.

[@LJkittycat]

I’m writing a book on art through the eyes of someone on the spectrum and your channel really helps with getting information on different art supplies ❤

[@SyndiaArt]

Thank you so much, this means a lot 💜

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

All of your oil pastel videos are fabulous!

[@SyndiaArt]

Thanks Patricia! So nice of you to say :)

[@BarbyDailey-Rurallife40]

Hello! New friend here. I just used some oil pastels I've had for awhile and realized I knew nothing about them- so I found your channel and I'm looking forward to learning all about using them! 💖

[@YourFaveKiki]

I have pentel oil pastels handy. and again Thank you!!!!

[@ka8byrdie]

This was quick and excellent . Thank you 🙏

[@SyndiaArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@christinachourma]

Syndia it is so good that I found you. I love oil pastels and have experimented with it. But an artist is always learning more and more!!! I find your tips VERY true. Yes, you are correct. Well, I messed with a top coat, I tried a gloss for acrylic/oil medium but it was supposed for canvas, not for paper....you can imagine. But we can ever ever ever try again and do more! Hope to see more of your videos!!! Ciao!

[@SyndiaArt]

Hi Christina! So glad you joined the gang, welcome :o) Have a great week!

[@2ckoala]

Again, fantastic!

[@sairaakmal1]

I love ur videos very informative. Can u please make a comparison video of Caran D’Ache Neocolor I wax oil pastels Vs Caran D’Ache Neopastels.

[@SyndiaArt]

Thanks for your kind words. I have a few oil pastel sets to review. I will definitely make a note of your suggestion. Happy New Year!! Wishing you loads of inspiration in 2019 :)

[@sairaakmal1]

Syndia Art Thanks for Your reply. I have seen ur great reviews videos and bought pentel oil pastels Happy New Year ❤️

[@harrieth7003]

Funny, Bristol is a city just north of Somerset in the UK. I wonder if they have anything to do with oil pastels, other than the paper brands!

[@luanacintra8114]

Hello!! Thanks for the video!!!! Xoxo from Rio de Janeiro and merry Christmas!

[@SyndiaArt]

Happy holidays to you! :o)

[@rebeccafrey7537]

I got my oil pastels yesterday and I wasn’t so sure how to use them, so this video was really helpful to me. =)

[@rebeccafrey7537]

Tank you guys. =)

[@SyndiaArt]

I'm really glad it helped! I have a bunch of oil pastel inspiration ideas... Here is a playlist if you're curious. Have a great weekend :o) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6esd3holtmgfK8

[@dessireharina9671]

Syndia can you pls do a review about Camel/Camlin kokuyo Oil Pastels it's really good especially when you use fingers or tissue. You can make galaxies using it.

[@SyndiaArt]

I tried to order them from India because they don't have them in Canada but it's been months and I never received them.

[@deetee-uk]

Syndia...would like to try these, but are they safe to blend with your fingers?

[@ankursharma1461]

The technique which you have used at 3:11, and that painting that you have shown, could you please make a tutorial video on it.

[@SyndiaArt]

You mean the flower? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6a0mHx7grCnrKs

[@LisaSandboge]

Very nice video, thanks! Merry christmas!

[@SyndiaArt]

Thanks Lisa Merry Christmas to you too! :)

[@amifysonic]

Wow super informative!! Thanks so much!! 😊

[@SyndiaArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelklein5242]

Any tips for us lefties? I generally try starting from right to left (which makes perfect sense), but are there other ways besides using a sheet of paper to cover the hand on the surface? I'm wondering about using a thin rubber glove, but that probably will smudge things. Great, instructive video and I will follow you and watch more presentations! Thanks!

[@SyndiaArt]

I taught myself to never rest my hand on the paper/surface. I just hover :o)

[@michaelklein5242]

Thanks! I've been working on doing just that and also have been trying to work top to bottom and right to left. It's getting more automatic for me with practice.

[@believer7280]

Very good. I'm learning about pastels. I've never used them before. I like the way you quickly touched on important things to know. I try to do that with my videos (keep them short), because people have short attention spans. Explain it in as few words as possible.

[@ireneurban3599]

thank you for sharing your techniques! that was very helpful, I subscribed to your channel👏

[@SyndiaArt]

Oh! Thank you! Welcome to the channel :)

[@jeanproctor3663]

Is there a particular type of, say, walnut oil that works better than others or is recommended more? A lot of the ones to buy from an online search are ones meant for culinary uses and some of the price differences are huge. I would be interested to see, as I'm just starting out trying oil pastels.

[@Ecosse57]

thank you for the great tips!

[@SyndiaArt]

I'm happy it helped! :)

[@Skinnychelle48]

Mungyo, awesome!

[@TreeLynnT]

Your Madonna piece is brilliant! 🥰🤙

[@aletheab8630]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@larketorres7547]

Thank you for the informative video. :) What do you use to seal your finished oil pastel artwork?

[@SyndiaArt]

Either Sennelier Oil Pastel Spray or Krylon UV Archival Varnish. But I wait 2 weeks before spraying it so that the oil pastel sets and hardens a bit. Hope it helps.

[@111PanteraBlu]

Great informative video! Thank you!

[@SyndiaArt]

Glad you enjoyed it! :o)

[@TaylorSwiftEdits1133]

This was really helpful THANK-YOU!!!

[@SyndiaArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@watercoloracademy1083]

What do you think about Paul rubins pastels? Are they better than mungyo?

[@SyndiaArt]

I haven't tried them yet...

[@CattleyaRosemelGula]

Nice! thank u very much, i have to go to drawing contest using oil pastel on my school

[@andeesartori5219]

i bought the pentel oil pastels you said to buy. i might have messed up by painting the canvas black but i read online you could do that. every time i tri to blend, it just kinda wipes the oil pastel off the canvas. no matter how much i add. please any suggestions?

[@SyndiaArt]

Watch my latest video, it might help you (using clear gesso). Have a great weekend

[@konstantinospapaioannou2588]

THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO. A huge THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SyndiaArt]

Glad you liked it, thanks! :o)

[@emilyerdbeere9210]

Hi Syndia. You make wonderful art 👍🏻 I have some questions about oil pastels: Want to blend oil pastels with walnut oil. Does it harden out? I have the big set of Mungyo gallery. I wonder if lightfastness is as good as the Caran Dache Neopastel?

[@SyndiaArt]

It does harden but might yellow a bit. As far as lightfastness, they don't say that it is. Personally I haven't noticed any change to the colors.

[@SpandanaKuhad]

You done the best

[@SyndiaArt]

Thank you so much for your kind words :)

[@oliveranimates3038]

We had to use oil pastels this week in art class to line our watercolor paintings and i was getting really frustrated because it wouldn't blend out properly and it looked agitating and irritated my fingers. Worked better with paper towel but it was still god awful to work with and i thought i was bad at them (maybe I still am as I don't use thrm much and honestly I'm better working with controlled, thin lines instead) but the paper we used was low quality copy/bristol paper so that's why it turned out awfully. Hopefully the next time i use them I'll have better paper.

[@ChaiTogether]

Thank you ❤🎉

[@sudeco-3509]

loved this video ! soooo helpful, tysm !!

[@SyndiaArt]

I really glad it helped! :o)

[@Денис-з9о6ж]

Can you tell me how to work from dark to light with oil pastels

[@nya5307]

i ran out of white oil pastel, do you think if white china marker would blend well with it? that's the substitute i can think of, i don't want to buy an entire box of oil pastel it's too expensive 😭

[@nya5307]

or can you suggest any substitute 😭

[@SyndiaArt]

sennelier white can be bought as singles

[@MR-wi4jt]

I subbed, thanks for the videos girl

[@squanchybaunchy7038]

CAN you do a video of how to blend pentel arts with a quitip? Also could you do a video on just dollar store products!? :)

[@SyndiaArt]

I made a video about blending. You can watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYrPn5qji6lgmJI (I will make a video using only dollar store art products in the new year!)

[@robinburdette7201]

Terrific!

[@SF_Curious]

Can you paint w/ oil painting on top of oil pastels?

[@SyndiaArt]

No, unfortunately nothing can be put on top of oil pastels.

[@fenixinha]

Great summary :)

[@SyndiaArt]

Thanks! I hope it will be helpful to beginners :)

[@fall3nange11]

i see a lot of vids where ppl use colour pencils on oil pastels! i ve tried it many times but my colour pencil never shows and jsut scraps the pastel off! whys that?

[@SyndiaArt]

Colored pencils can be used as a first layer but not on top on oil pastels...

[@gacktist00]

I bought the oil pastel which were reasonable price for beginner like me, and you just recomended it! I feel so much happier now 😂😂

[@SyndiaArt]

[@andyhamilton9459]

Your videos are PERFECTION! Can I be you? Seriously, thank you!

[@trianglebook3616]

Oil pastels will never dry, can you tell me more about this please?

[@SyndiaArt]

They harden and feel kinda dry but don't actually dry as in they can be scratched off the page. That's why it is recommended to frame them under glass.

[@cookingforlife1975]

hello I'm from Indonesia your video is good, I hope there are subtitles in your videos😉
