Oil pastels - maybe a new favorite art tool?

[@Skinnychelle48]

You can use the cheaper finish sprays to seal ur work perfectly, stops all smearing and smudge and u can go back on top and add to it if u want.

Your art is beautiful ❤️. Thankyou for sharing.

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Thank you so much!!!

[@habituallearner7680]

I am so glad to find your channel! I too love oil pastels. Pentel and Mungyo Gallery Soft Oil Pastels are my two favorite brands. Sennelier look incredible but they're out of my budget. Thanks for the video!

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Thanks so much!

[@saraferar]

Your artwork is stunning

[@PaintingWithJoy]

[@susannaalonso4735]

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the demos using these!

[@PaintingWithJoy]

You are most welcom! More to come! :)

[@chenkish5854]

Just by the name Oil pastel is also my fav. .... They are down to earth and vercitile!! Im with you😊

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Yes they are!

[@louisacahan831]

How do you get such fine, delicate lines in your small sketches in your sketchbook?

[@PaintingWithJoy]

The pentel ones are a little bit easier to use on the side. The corners are easier to use for fine lines...

[@louisacahan831]

@@PaintingWithJoy thanks, I’ll try Pentel. I’ve been using softer ones.

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Let me know how it goes! @@louisacahan831

I love your florals 🌸 was drawn to your work because I love watercolors and oil pastels as well. My top 2 favorite mediums. I heard that oil pastels are a wet medium which makes a lot of sense to me as to why I love watercolor + oil pastels 😊

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Thank you so much! There are some water soluble oil pastels - those are super fun to play with too! Yes to watercolors and oil pastels!!!

[@mashkin85]

This is so helpful and inspiring! The price tag for the Sennelier is pretty scary, they are sooo sooo tempting though…

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful! Yes, to Sennelier - they are suuuuper buttery!!!

[@Денис-з9о6ж]

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

[@PaintingWithJoy]

I'll have to do a video about that - Thanks!

[@Денис-з9о6ж]

@@PaintingWithJoy i will appreciate that if you do it, thank you

[@cynthiazick3125]

I am super psyched to use my Pentel Pastels , they were only $12.99 & came with a sketch pad, I got the set of 50. Senn - ell-y-YAY! is how you pronounce it, accent on the YAY! Sennelier

[@PaintingWithJoy]

That's awesome!!!! I cannot wait to see what you come up with!

[@azzuparis]

Hi Joy, thank you for sharing your favorite pastels. I love how you play with them and your art is beautiful. I do have some Sennelier pastels and they are beautiful but indeed precious 😂 Looking forward to your next pastels video 😊

[@PaintingWithJoy]

You are most welcome! Yes, more videos to come. :)

[@chenkish5854]

Dear Joy I also put papers inbetween But it's really anoying when crumbs stick to the paiting. USE THE FIXATIF!💖

[@PaintingWithJoy]

I really should! :)

[@miklosnemeth8566]

​@@PaintingWithJoyI have this D'Artigny fixative but I don't use, instead I use hairspray and it is brutally awesome with oil pastels, human friendly and has gorgeous scent. you will love it

[@ReemAli-tv4hd]

Please,what's the besr papper size for oil pasteel?

[@PaintingWithJoy]

I've really liked mixed media paper for oil pastels.

[@veystone2580]

Regarding Pentel, does the strong smell go away at some point?

[@laradavenport903]

Yes, if you used it as you could; it should be gone in months. It has the same smell as gasoline!😅

[@veystone2580]

@@laradavenport903 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PaintingWithJoy]

I'm not sure that it smells for me, but I could just be using them a lot and I can't smell them anymore...

[@veystone2580]

@@PaintingWithJoy Well, maybe you are used to it.... but they smell like gasoline. Is actually a very strong and pungent odor. Im surprised u dont smell it. I had to throw mine away cause they triggered migraines. Even my grandkids told me, that they didnt want them because they were soooo stinky. 😆 So I bought them the Myngyo Gallery. Those are way better anyway, but I was looking for something harder cause sometimes I like to do some sketchy looking paintings and Pentel are great for that, but that smell.... 🤮

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Got it! I'll try to remember to smell them next time - it could also be that I usually have a candle going when I'm working...

[@deeman524]

Awesome! I have 48 Gallery and 24 Sennelier, not sure if I need Pental, but I bought a set of faber castell yesterday and they are junk

[@PaintingWithJoy]

It is hard to figure out the best tool or what to purchase... I've found that playing with the tools a little more each day helps. I bought some oil sticks that I thought were junk, and then, I ended up liking them in the span of 10 mins.

[@sheryscott2757]

Hi Joy, it's a French word, so it's not at all surprising that most people mispronounce Sennelier: senn el eeyay with the accent on the very last syllable. Best regards!

[@PaintingWithJoy]

Hello Shery! Thank you so much for that help with the pronunciation. That was a hard one for me. 😊
