Trying out my new Sennelier oil pastels || unboxing + demo + painting tips

I never knew Oil Pastels could look like this

They are very versatile 😊

I want them too ,but cand afford..

Remember opening these year ago same box

[@YolandaBlazquez]

@@M33838 I bought a set from Mungyo and overtime added Sennelier sticks bought open stock 🙂 nobody needs a big set like this (it’s nice though). In case you want to try oil pastels

[@leanneshawler]

Me either. Wow! Makes me want to dive back into my portraits set!

[@wellington66440]

this channel deserves so much more viewers. such a great artist!

Your Oilpastel Portraits are always so stunning! 🤩And you have absolutely earned the support of Sennieler.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! 🥰 it’s such a nice gift

[@ThroughHisEyes444]

The skin looks touchable 😊

[@michellemaistry3170]

WoW ! I've never known pastels to look so good on paper. I guess smudging to disperse it and give it a smooth finish makes a huge difference rather than the harsh lines pastels, crayons and even colour pencils usually give. I must say, even the portrait you thought looked bad, was actually very nice. You're a very talented artist and I wish I was skilled like you or even knew the secrets and tricks of the trade with fine art. Well done 🤩👌

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! I think blending goes a long way but there’s also beauty in visible brushstrokes ❤️ The only secret is practice 😇 so it’s something anyone can do

[@sandfly60]

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you 🙏🏻@@gordi02

[@ScheherazOdd]

Like most commenters, my initial reaction is to tell you how talented you are, but being an artist myself, I know better! Your ability is the result of hours and hours and hours of practice, and it shows! This portrait is absolutely amazing ! I didn't know that it was possible for oil pastels to work this well! I wish Sennelier and other art supply companies would give away products to those of us who watch these KZbin videos, and are just starting to learn how to use them. Cheap oil pastels are so dry compared to the professional grade ones... It makes it very difficult to learn!

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it ❤️ I was using their paints way before they sent anything, I think they are well worth the price and since you don’t really need that many sticks I don’t find them that expensive. You can combine them with mungyo gallery for example and those are much cheaper and of good quality

[@YaSmithe]

​@@YolandaBlazquezwhat stick colors do you recommend as essential on top of a mungyo set?

[@pokipineapple5377]

I can't paint anything near this level. Having only painted a handful of pastel things by now. After having seen this video, what you can do with this really opened my eyes to the possibilities, so pastel medium is now added to life goals.

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much! I think pastels take a lot of practice but it’s doable ☺️ I love how versatile they are

[@lyssasletters3232]

Love how you highlighted the qualities of the oil pastels by fading out to abstract marks towards the outside of the painting/piece of artwork!❤

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you very much! I think it gives a nice touch while also making them feel a bit more like soft pastels

[@somewhat9626]

Beautiful! I just got this same set from Sennelier as a gift 💓💓💓So exciting to get new art toys

[@YolandaBlazquez]

It is! Hope you enjoy it! 🥰

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

You can get those tiny itty bitty silicone/rubber tipped tools to blend small details. AND you can tap a little oil pastel on them to apply Sennelier in fine sharp detail since we cant really get them to that nice sharp point. They make those tools specifically for oil pastels, but i just buy the same exact ones only marketed as sculpture tools and they are SOOOO much cheaper!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thanks for the tip! Although I have of of those little ones for sculpting and it didn’t work for me 🥲 it didn’t deposit any paint but maybe I should try a different brand or something. What you describe is something I often do with a paper stump though

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

Thanks again! 🥰 and for your support

[@KarenMBerisford]

This is beautiful! Two things I'd recommend if you will be working with Sennelier oil pastels a lot, buy the Large size of those colours you use often. Second, buy LOTS of paper stumps! Saves you blending with your fingers. x

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thanks for the tips! I should definitely get a couple of the large ones. I also use paper stumps but for blending big areas I feel my fingers do a better job, the skin isn’t happy though🥲

[@KarenMBerisford]

Regarding the last comment, I completely understand! Tortillions and the silicone pastel shapers are great too! @@YolandaBlazquez

Hi Yolanda that painting is beautiful. I could not imagine it working so well on grey paper. I thought " What is she doing?" I thought there was nothing wrong with the first one and the I saw. NOPE being written across her, poor thing! 😂😂 on the white paper and saw you going for the grey paper I thought his should be interesting and believe me it is. I'm amazed at how well the grey paper worked. Shows how much I know! I'm learning something new every day and this looks stunning. And I now that you know very well what you're doing. ❤ It's amazing. You are gifted. I love watching what you do. Thank you for sharing this. I never tried oil pastels before. I have them but wasn't quite sure what to do with them and what kind of paper to use them and actually this is the first time I saw a pad made for oil pastels. I didn't think they were available. So that's something I learned too today. I enjoyed the unboxing. I love to see new art Supplies and what's out there. You just inspired me Yolanda. God bless you . Much love Susan. 👍💕💕🇮🇪🙏🙏🙏🎨❤❤❤

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you so much Susan! ❤️❤️ This one is actually a green paper but I normally use gray and I love it! Light gray, dark gray and muted blues ❤️ I think colored paper works really well to make all other colors stand out more. This is the only oil pastel pad that I know of but you can use them on many different surfaces 😊 I like sanded papers the best.

[@MdnightWnd]

Wow, this is gorgeous! Even the drawing you wrote "Nope" on was beautiful. I wish my "nope" art was that good!

[@GrumpetteJV]

Don't be sorry about the lighting. Those lights are very expensive, just use that money for more art supplies! Btw, did you know you can do washes with these pastels? Just use some turpentine. You can also put some pastel on a ceramic tile, and then use a brush with turpentine to make a "paint" with it. Also, you can save the shavings for this, just put them in a aquarelle paint pan. (You can do the same, tile and paint pan, with neo colours, excelt with water obviously) As for safety, you can use a barrier creme on your hands, that will help a lot. Your work is amazing!

[@YolandaBlazquez]

Thank you very much! I ended up buying lighting equipment but ideally I would need an extra one I think. Maybe in some time, they also take a lot of space. I hadn’t though about doing washes with them with turpentine but I know some people that use oil to blend them although that sounds messy to me. Thanks for sharing! I personally don’t use any solvents because of the fumes.

Really nice style, not to cartoonish and not too realest like a photograph . It’s what I call a dreamy style or a Romance style . No on second thought it’s much better defined as fine illustration style at a master level 👍

( hoy he decidido pedir algunos colores sueltos que me interesaban porque aunque el set de retrato esta genial me llamaban mucho la atención otros que no incluye, que ganas!! ☺) El dibujo super bonito, me recuerda a algo tropical 😋
