- Hello everyone - it was a very warm, sunny day here in Cornwall UK so I thought I would do some landscape drawing in the garden. I wanted to try these Paul Rubens oil pastels so it was a good chance to relax into a landscape drawing.
They were really nice to use. Very soft and creamy with bright, vibrant colours amongst the softer neutral greys and earthy colours. Easy to layer up and work into with graphite sticks or pencils. Definitely worth trying if you fancy working with oil pastels for a change. I think they would make a brilliant medium for plein air sketching.
There is a special offer event on Amazon UK 26 June - 2 July if you're interested in these Rubens oil pastels. Check it out. For more info:

Here are the key feature of this set supplied by HaiYa oil pastels:
1. Creamy Texture: They are super smooth and soft to use. The soft texture allow them to perform great for blending and mixing!
2. Novel Design: The new bullet design and cylindrical paint allow to grip and draw comfortably!
3. 72 Vibrant Colours: 48 vivid colours and providing strong coverage, showing the texture effect of oil painting!
4. Affordable Price: This set of oil pastels is very affordable, high quality, and also perfect for beginners.
In terms of shape, it adopts a bullet design and has a beautiful shape. There are also some adjustments in the material formula, less oil will be produced, and it is obviously softer and smoother when used. These oil pastels have information about pigments, light fastness, transparency on the paper sleeve. Besides, this set offers a cheaper price while maintaining high quality, perfect for artists who want high quality oil pastels at a favourable price.
*As a side note - I wasn't paid to try / review the oil pastel set. This is just my personal opinion of how they performed working outdoors.*
Like the video? Why not buy me a coffee?

I like your style of drawing. Great use of the credit card. I’m going to have to try that!
Thank you Andrew for this oil pastel demonstration. The result is nice.
My pleasure Jacqueline
Turned out very nice! I always enjoy watching you work.
Thank you Jamie. It was great fun
Andrew just love your review, especially the written information and you have convinced me to purchase them, thank you.
Glad you like them Laurel - hope you enjoy using them
I like the way you work with them.
Bird sounds wonderful!❤
Thank you 😊
Very vibrant. These seem to be good pigmented and it looks that they go down on the paper pretty smoothly.
Yes they’re pretty good 😊
I love the garden sounds. It adds to an understanding of the landscape
Thank you very much 😃
Really interesting, I like the look of the pastels, and they are a good price! Your garden is lovely and peaceful 😀
Thanks Carol 😃x
REALLY LOVED your decision to paint outdoors. so relaxing.. great job loved every minute!😀
Thank you so much Laura 😀
A very beautiful sketch of the landscape 😍👍 Pleasant and meditative work!
Paul Rubens oil pastels are simply magnificent, reminiscent of Sennelier in quality.❤
Thank you very much. I agree, the Rubens oil pastels are very good
Beautiful! Oil pastels it's a magical
Thank you 🙏🏻
I LOVE YOUR PICTURE BRAVO!!!
thank you
Thank you for the demonstration with oil pastels. The colours look nice and rich and the credit card is genius! Have their quick drying oils (you did a demo of them) and I’m very happy with them, nice addition with my regular brand.
You’re welcome . I found them really nice to use. Much softer and easier to use than others I’ve tried
Thanks for reviewing these, I recently treated myself to a set and they are so vibrant. I’d be fascinated to see you use these in your plein air sketchbooks while out in the wilds with Basil! I love all the beautiful sketches you create - whether charcoal, paint, oil sticks, graphite, pastels… you make the best of any art medium you take with you.
thank you so much Heather. I feel a new video coming on - PR's oil pastels with Basil
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt Fantastic, I’ll look forward to that!
Wow love how you work those pastels not tried oils before
Thank you so much Denise 😀
Hello Andrew.
Ive missed seeing you on youtube. Great to see you at the artwork again.☘️
Thank you so much 😀
I should have a bit more time now. Been very busy lately with things that have taken up a lot of time
Love it! My oil pastels (I use Sennelier) and Neocolor crayons melted once when I took them outside in the summer. I’ve stopped using them outdoors if the temp is above 65 F. I live in Tennessee, US so it gets humid here-I’m not sure what your weather was like that day, but I’m not surprised they started to sweat in the sun.
Thank you Brigitte
It was very hot that day so probably not a good idea to have them in full sun
I’ve seen a few reviews of these and if you push them on the bottom in the tray they just pop up. Lovely landscape with beautiful colours!❤
That's a great idea! I did struggle getting them out 😃
Hi Andrew ... This was a nice demonstration/sketch ... You showed how the pastels lend themselves well to building up different tones by layering colors over each other ... Perhaps a paper alittle smoother may help to blend better ... I have these pastels but have not used them so you've inspired me to give them a try! ... Love all the bird sounds in the background also ...
Hi Nancy
Thank you very much 😃
I enjoyed my time sketching in the garden with these oil pastels. Hope you have as much fun with yours
Oil pastels work very well over a water colour underpainting. But also they can be manipulated and blended with solvent (turps, OMS etc). Either or both options deal with the problem of the medium leaving white spots. Also, they are good on smooth paper and can be pushed about with a rubberised tool and scraped back as shown in this video. I find them difficult but for some reason find myself drawn to them.
Thanks Roger. Some good tips there which I will try when I get the oil pastels out again 👍🏻
Schöne Studie..... In einem schönen Garten..
Schöne Sommergrüsse..

Thank you very much Douglas
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
It looks great!! Hi Basil ❤😊
Thanks Barbara
I’ll say hi to Basil for you
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt thanks 🐶
❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Yo ya los tengo y están bonitos
Yes they are very nice 👍🏻
Nice comparison. Would you test these pastels also on toned paper?
Meanwhile in the background: dunnock, collared dove, house sparrow and carrion crow
Thank you. Yes I could try toned paper. Well done for hearing the Dunnock - he’s my favourite garden visitor 😃

I bought a smaller set of Paul R. oil pastels and the wrappers are very oily! I'm concerned about the oil leaching out on my art work...
I thought they handled very well but I too found them quite oily. Only time will tell. I will use them for sketching but probably not finished work
You may have re-converted me to oil pastels - mine are extremely old, the old Guitar brand (Japanese). These look much better - the melting would be the wax, which is a large component of oil pastel; the older they get, the more inclined they are to snap; so I must overcome my meanness, and invest in what looks like a very good product. If only we had unlimited resources, eh? I'd love to try Ceracolour, from Natural Pigments/Rublev; planning on trying casein; all the while keeping up my supplies of oil paint, and acrylic, and watercolour; the pencils, the pens, the supports.... specializing can get a bit boring, but it'd also be a hell of a lot cheaper.....
Thanks Robert. That would definitely explain the melting in the sun. You’re right about all the materials we like to try 😃
Can use on canvas and does it fix?
Yes you can use on canvas but I’m not sure how to fix it
Puppy
He loves pottering in the garden
those seem bizarrely hard for paul rubens pastels
I found them to be very soft compared to other oil pastels brands. They went even softer when the sun was on them. They almost felt like oil sticks
Ah ha oil pastels
Good fun 🤩
In my estimation, this video provides visual substantiation what what I have always felt about oil pastels as an art medium. And this is that it is quite an insensitive medium, and cannot produce well-controlled results because of its inability to be blended so that drawings are characterized by spotty unpleasant results. I've seen a lot of art in my long career, but have virtually never seen a really excellent artwork done in oil pastels. Because of the crudeness and insensitivity of oil pastels, artists would be much better served to stay with almost any other drawing medium.
Yes it is a difficult medium but can be useful for sketching in the field. I was surprised how they started to melt in the sun too!
There are many great artists who can really produce beautiful art with it. Check out Hamrib art or Yolanda Blazquez’s TH-cam channel. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
You need to try sennelier oil pastels very soft and you can get oil painting type effects and they are so creamy the blend easily
@@loramay21 thank you - I will add some to my Christmas wish list
Not disagreeing with you that oil pastels are hard to control and blend, but I really recommend (hopefully it's not a crappy move to recommend one artist on the channel of another 😅) you check out Yolanda Blazquez's oil pastel paintings.
😂 wtf
