Thanks for these demos. Watercolourist here.
I came here after doing “pollinators week” at a local community centre that included an oil pastel workshop.
Haven’t used oil pastels since I was very young, so was rather dubious about the medium. Actually, I had rather a lot of fun, finding them very forgiving as well as enjoying their quick coverage of the seemingly enormous a2 sized brown paper provided.
Your demos of different kinds of mark making was a revelation. I’m off to buy that super cheap mont Marte set that’s just fine into Xmas sale…

Please share what your experiences with oil pastels have been. I appreciate and am interested in your thoughts on this topic. Thank you for stopping by my little corner of TH-cam! I value your feedback :)

I would add to the plus list that you don’t need much more than surface and pastels and maybe some paper tissue to start.

Excellent point. I totally breezed over that. Thank you for sharing :)
