LEARN WITH ME: OIL PASTEL BACKGROUND IN COLOURING BOOKS | Paul Reubens Haiya 48 set| Adult Colouring

Hi guys!
A swatch of these Haiya oil pastels from Paul Reubens was requested by a viewer. I thought I would come on here to share the swatches with you and also play around with the oil pastels for the very first time! Come learn with me as I experiment with this new medium and test out if it will work for me in colouring books.
The 48 Haiya Oil Pastels were in a New Year gift box that was very kindly sent to me by Paul Reubens
.
I hope you enjoyed this video and found it interesting - I definitely enjoyed putting it together! Let me know if you enjoy the video and would like ‘Learn With Me’ videos in the future!
Until next time…
Happy colouring!

Shelly, your experiments are better than me at my best. I think you could paint the Mona Lisa with Crayola. You are amazing!

[@barbarahowell2549]

I think she could paint a masterpiece with rags wrapped around the ends of dowels using cans of house paint. Shel has "the touch" and I love watching her work her magic.

I find that having a package of baby wipes next to me when I work with oil pastels is very handy. Saves having to jump up to go wash your fingers when you want to change colors. I have many different brands of oil pastels because they all have different consistencies and uses. The driest brand is the cheapest, Pentel and the creamiest is the most expensive, Sennelier. Most other brands land somewhere in between those two. My Paul Reubens don't sweat like yours were doing, but then the ones I have don't look like yours either. I'm thinking it may have been too warm where you were keeping them. I try to keep mine far away from any heat sources or sunlight. They are an interesting medium to work with. I use the paper stumps to apply the oil pastel to my pages in all the smaller areas and blend with the paper stumps too. I don't seal my page, just leave the book open for a few days and it soon dries to a hard finish on it's own. Have fun experimenting with this new medium.

I love it. I am a Newby to detailed coloring. I colored using pencils while I watched so I can keep practising . Its Awesome to here what your thinking as you color. Thank you for taking time and sharing your coloring skills

[@lakshmisundari9699]

I love to see this experiment with oil Pastells, thank you so much to Show us what you did with them 😊, I have seen several videos with this medium and honestly; your video taught me a thousand times more and was more fun to watch 🥰

[@meghangerhart643]

This was so interesting and informative! I’d love to see more “Learn With Me” videos. ❤

Hi shelly I’m new to oil pastels too a few weeks ago I got the 72 set as it was on a deal on Amazon Australia. When I received mine it was really oily too.. it’s summer hear in north Qld I put mine in the fridge as mine were melting in our heat it helped them a bit.. I haven’t used them yet.. I watch Colouring with Maia and she uses oil pastels in her colouring books she uses a product from golden to seal the page if u go to her channel she is really good too.. lovely review hun ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊xxxx

[@jennyneumann6882]

Thanks for the great video Shel your blending loos lovely . I believe you can use the silicon tools to blend them .

[@janaeiche9003]

I love using oil pastels for backgrounds and basing. I have the Paul Ruebens and love them

[@kimberlysmith1771]

It was crazy to see this because I just started my first coloring page experiment with oil pastels for a background yesterday. I'm not happy with it so far but I'm still working with it so we will see. I would love to see more learn with me videos

[@janaeiche9003]

I also put the oil pastel on a glass palette and pick up with a blending brush. Works really nicely to get light even layer

[@sabrinaincolors]

I agree that using the zest or gamsol before blending would have a better finish. Thanks for sharing it! ❤

[@Coloriages.de.suzanne]

This does look a lot of fun!! I own oil pastels and I new use them 😅. Thank you for this test 🫶🏻🩷

[@annesnyder3909]

I am hoping you will share the finished postcard with us all. Such a cute image!

[@conniezee]

Thanks, Shelly! I’ve wondered about oil pastels, and now I have a better idea of how they work. They look tricky, sticky, and a bit messy but fun! “Learn with me” videos would be a great complement to your already awesome channel 😊

[@sherrydennewitz5011]

Great Video! It was a Good Learning Experience!💜

[@Bambookat8]

Thank you for this tutorial! I've been eyeing oil pastels, but they seemed a bit difficult to use. Your demonstration changed my mind ❤ I've ordered the Paul Rubens and can't wait to give them a go!

[@gloriastengel8687]

I have the 48 set, unopened in my stash….thanks for giving me inspiration and ideas! ❤

[@arteramgopal9723]

Hi Shelly, I was really excited to see what you would come up with when I saw this video! The oil pastels you swatched out are so beautiful and intense. I have used my Mungyo oil pastels with a paint thinner and paper stump in a Hannah Karlzon book. Didn't feel the need to use a fixative. Oil pastels seem easier to use when the background is open. I prefer using them with oil based pencils and filling in any small spaces directly with the pencils. Looking forward to more oil pastels ideas when you try them out 😊

[@nicole_silvers]

These are very beautiful oil pastels! They look just as good as the Sennelier oil pastels! I would definitely test them out in your books before you use them on a page because since they're oil based, over time the oil can soak through to the other side of the page. Or you could just use them on single sided pages. Thank you for sharing this video!😊❤

[@thecoloursofthemage]

Love this video! I use gamsol on a cotton bud, soon to try a paintbrush. It saves so much time. ❤❤❤

[@biancavictoria8746]

I've always been scared of oil pastels! Love your experiment, it turned out really well. So bright! Maybe I'll give them a go one day... 😅

[@tanyah9716]

Oh I forgot to mention you can ev3n use a tissue again folded like the 2ax paper

[@DanahsColoringObsession]

Great video! I just bought as set of oil pastels not too long ago and this was very helpful!

[@tanyah9716]

It is totally normal for them to be very oily. You can use a blending stump, your finger or even wax paper folded in a triangle of sorts. They are best when blended out. You are amazing in everything you try.

[@mizzy_chiara]

For blending, I've also seen artists use silicon brushes, usually with an oil, linen oil I think. It gives the feeling of oil painting I imagine, but I never tried.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing 🤗💗

[@clairewilliams9416]

Good video. I have oil pastels but am new to adult colouring and haven’t thought about using them for backgrounds. Regarding the oily ness of the pastels I find the Paul Rubin’s one are a bit like that but it is a bit dependent on climate.

[@nicole_silvers]

I was thinking that one of those silicone tipped brushes might work well for these! Especially since you can get pointed ones that will help you get in those tiny areas!😊

[@deborahmcneill9478]

I think it’s the quality. I used them in high school art class (100 years ago 😊) and they were creamy and lovely to blend, they were true colors. When I heard ppl speak about Prismacolor that’s what I thought of, though they aren’t the same kind of blend (the Prismas are wax base). Anyway, that’s just my opinion on them, happy coloring!

[@goli1319]

I have been wondering if my workable fixative would be useful on top of oil pastels. Now I know! Thanks so much!

[@shelscolouringjourney]

You are so welcome! 🤗💗

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Beautiful! ❤

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you! 😊💗

[@carlahamilton385]

Great video and thanks for sharing Shelly. You may be interested in My Coloring Craze here on KZbin. I think her work with oil pastels is amazing.

[@irmabrinkman6973]

Pablo pencils are olie pencils , hou van try dat

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Thank you 🤗💗

[@pennyrockysmomma4445]

Instead of finger blending, use tissue paper. Facial tissue paper or toilet paper works great

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Ah thanks for the tip!! I will try that 🤗💗
