Oil pastels in summer 🫠 || portrait painting process

[@SezCreate]

What’s amazing with paintings is how in the beginning they always look so boring, so basic and then in the end….wOW!! These oil pastel paintings are really something! 💙💙

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thanks a lot! 😊 it’s always the same, they look terrible for a long time and suddenly a few touches later the seem like a different painting

[@Flux_One]

I've only ever used the hard wax style oil pastels, so I find it amazing that something like this can be achieved. Amazing 😍

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! The quality of the paints plays a big role ☺️

[@susankelly4911]

Beautiful Yolanda. Love the way you do skin tones. And the flowers around her hair are gorgeous. Thank you for showing us how you do it. Much love Susan 👍❤❤❤🎨🌸🌸🌸

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much to you Susan for the lovely comments 🥰

[@ciznuk7]

I bought a big cooling pad (usually used for cooling sprained ankles or stuff like that) and when i want to paint with my sennelier oilpastels in the summer i put a paper towel on the cool pad (i store it in the freezer) and then i put all the colors i want to use on the pad, so between using them i get a short cooling break and they actually stay quite nice and usable during the summer heat.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

My mom suggested me to do exactly the same! And maybe even put the palette on one of those bags that keep the temperature. I’m glad to know it works

[@ciznuk7]

@@YolandaBlazquez Listen to your mom 😄 it actually works. Also wanted to say that I love your art! 😍

[@LeviAckerman-cl6iy]

When people add things like make up to their drawings with oil pastels and oil paints it actually feels like you’re painting lipstick onto someone it’s so cool

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Actually it does! 😇 specially if you apply some semi translucent layer, it feels like a lipgloss

[@LeviAckerman-cl6iy]

[@melinabottini9408]

Un trabajo increíble! Me encanta la manera en que vas creado los matices de la piel, las luces y las sombras, espectacular!

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Muchas gracias! ❤️❤️ estos Neopastel son un poco diferentes y permiten crear capas finas sin que a penas se note, están genial

[@creativesolutionsart-h3o]

So beautiful! It’s amazing how many different techniques there are for oil pastels… The results you get are a wonderful… I am a watercolor artist, and I love regular soft pastels, but I’m really trying to get a hang of these. Without using solvents and brushes :-)

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! Without solvents, brushes or even a palette :D that’s the biggest appeal for me, just pastels and paper needed

[@Iwanttodrawachicken]

Beautiful portrait! Your channel always inspires. I just started oil pastels, but I worry I bought too soft a brand as the sticks melt in my hand. I wonder if it's okay to keep them in the fridge?

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you! Sennelier’s almost melt in my hand too when it’s hot. I think it’s fine to place them in the fridge to cool them down and harden them again

[@ReynaxisSolutions]

Amazing. From rough texture to blended perfection.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Many thanks! ❤️ The skin is quite blended but everything else has more texture

[@artehermosa]

This is one of your stunning oil portrait, very eye catching! ❤️

Very nearly tempting me to try more traditional art, but I like the lack of mess from digital art. I have loved watching your videos so far, looking forward to more! ❤😊

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you! ❤ I understand that, I also started as a digital artist 😊oil pastels are the messiest medium I’ve tried but watercolor, colored pencils and even traditional oils can be used in a very clean and mess-free manner

[@evebeaumont]

Hello Yolanda, I started to put my selected sennelier oil pastels in the fridge for an hour before using them that way they are less greasy and it is like drawing in springtime, hope this helps

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you! ☺️ but it’s not enough for me, it’s really hot here inside and also I like to hold the 5-6 that I’m using on my left hand which heats them up even faster, they get mushy

[@evebeaumont]

@@YolandaBlazquez Ah, I'm only doing that with pastel pencils, I guess holding the oil pastels makes a lot of sense. Beautiful video as always

[@johnsartmaterialguidestuto7757]

Hi Yolander, put your pastels in the Fridge and they will work for you........then find a way to keep them cool whilst working. You can even buy Oil Pastel holders to help x

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thanks for the tip! They get too soft soon after I take them out of the fridge because I keep them on my hands but I’ll look at pastel holders

[@tammyhernandez3179]

Makes me want to try oil pastel. I would love to see how you did the drawing 🙂

[@kdj.imagery4317]

Very beautiful work, you must do commissions! May I inquire, I notice that you use both Mungyo and Van Gogh brand pastels, in your opinion which of the two blend more easily? I have some Van Gogh and am looking at the Mungyo's. Sennelier's are out of my price range! Cheers! 😃

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Mungyo! I bough 5 pastels from Van Gogh and found them to be pretty dry and chalky, which is weird since they are oil pastels. Mungyo blend well, I’m quite satisfied with them. I’m planning on making some lightfast tests because I don’t know how well they’ll hold🤞🏻

[@kdj.imagery4317]

@@YolandaBlazquez Yes, in some of the colors (60 count set) there's more binder in them than others. However, in videos I've watched using many different brands there was always some that were like you say more chalky than others. 🙂

[@YolandaBlazquez]

@@kdj.imagery4317 oh thank you, I didn’t know that, maybe I got the odd ones

[@magnificentchopin5548]

Very nice painting! What surface are you working on? Pastelmat?

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Yes I am! 😊 thank you

[@kat_n]

I've just discovered your channel. You're so talented! I used Sennelier oil pastels for the first time today (and first time using any oil pastels). I found them more difficult to use than I thought 😂 but it is summer here (30+ degrees), so that may be why. If you don't mind me asking, what is the blending stick you use? Is it specifically for oil pastels?

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you! Hot weather makes them much harder to use, they get very very soft so I prefer Neopastel during summer and Sennelier for the rest of the year although I always end up mixing them somewhat. The blending stick is a regular paper stump for pencil drawings 🙂

[@오빠해줘]

dope!!

[@fredasidaravicius232]

[@brendamorgado562]

Hi Yolanda, your artwork is beautiful and I’m just wanting to try them out because I did a double portrait on drafting film with colored pencils, which are use very often especially for portraits or soft, pastel, etc. and I messed up the background. Nothing would stick to it until I saw video from some other artist that said oil pastels adhere very well to the drafting film and I was able to put a background and the drafting film which excepted it perfectly where it had been damaged by erasing and washing off so I want to try to do a Whole portrait with oil pastels that is. I have not heard you say that you’ve used drafting film. Do you not recommend using film? If you advice against the drafting film what paper do you prefer to use? Thanks so much ……PS on your Patreon site do you talk about the colors you use and why in certain places , in other words give a more detailed explanation of the process. Thanks again look forward to hearing from you, Brenda Morgado

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Hello Brenda, I can’t help you with that since I’ve never used that film, I’m not even sure I know what it is. I’m used to paint on paper for most of the works I do so it’s always my first choice (other than linen for oils). On Patreon I tell exactly the colors that I use for each tutorial and explain why. Some tutorials are more in depth than others and vary in length from half an hour to several hours in real time. Have a nice day!

[@elartvaz7674]

Your artwork it’s incredible! I never thought that oil pastel could be so amazing and get that final result! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻 and do you think cheaper brands can be used to draw a portrait ? Because sennelier is very expensive 😢

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you very much! I haven’t tried many brands but I have a video comparing a few. In my opinion Mungyo perform similarly to Neopastel and I like them a lot. With a set of those and a few from Sennelier to complement or at least their white, you can do a lot

[@zainabaleemart]

I LOVE YOUR ARTWORK, Yolanda. Could you please tell me what do you film with? Also, if we're looking to go into pastels, which sketchbooks are best with a rough surface?

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much 🥰 my equipment is pretty basic but it does the job: canon 200D with the standard lenses (18-55) and a tripod. If you have a decent phone you can use it to record instead. About the sketchbooks I really don’t know, for quality paper I always find it better to make your own, this way you get to choose the paper.

I think Mungyo Gallery are very similar to Neopastel ☺ In the video I have comparing brands you can get an idea of their texture and opacity. I would get a set of those and a couple of sticks from Sennelier, specially the white.

What type of paper do you use for oil pastel? ( I just buy a set of oil pastel but i don't know how to use them)

[@YolandaBlazquez]

They are a bit tricky, don’t be discouraged. I like sanded papers made for soft pastels but also regular printing paper. You can use them almost on anything but to me it’s important that it has a little gran and that it’s a somewhat absorbent surface. No satin or coated papers. Many people use them on hot pressed watercolor paper
