    Hi all! Do you use oil pastels or thinking about using them? Let me know in the comments and if you have any top tips with them I would love to hear them ❤

      A very simple and basic, yet super important rule: always, always, always have a cloth or napkin on hand. The first rule of oil pastels is to wipe the tip-before or after, or sometimes BEFORE AND AFTER! 😂😅 It's the equivalent to cleaning your brushes between colors. 😉

      ​@@janeroystonBy the way, if you want to make a collage with oil pastels, you can do it. After you finish your painting, apply Mod Podge on top. Let it dry completely, and then you can create the collage over it. If you're working in a sketchbook, to prevent the pages from sticking together since Mod Podge acts like glue, once everything is completely dry, you can apply a thin layer of Dorland's Wax Medium. Hope this helps. 😊

      I switch between loving cool and hot at regular intervals 🤣

    With all due respect, for more accurate color mixing, try choosing a warm and a cool version of each primary color.
    For example, I noticed your violet/purple is more like a burgundy, which I love, by the way! But to get a true bright violet/purple, always use a cool red - something that leans towards pink, like magenta.
    Similarly, to get a bright green, use a cool yellow instead of a warm yellow.
    For a bright orange, go with a warm yellow and a warm red.
    Here’s a simple way to think about it:
    Green is a “cool” color, so mix a cool yellow and a cool blue to make a vibrant green.
    Orange is a “warm” color, so mix a warm yellow and a warm red to make a vibrant orange.
    Violet sits between cool and warm on the color wheel, so mix a cool red (magenta) with a warm blue (ultramarine) to get a vibrant violet.
    I saw you chose warm versions of each primary, which is why the only bright color was orange. Since green is cool and violet is in-between, adding some cool primaries will give you better results.
    For muted or earthy colors, do the opposite: mix a warm red with a warm blue for a burgundy, a warm blue with a warm yellow for mossy greens, and a cool yellow with a cool red for a coral-like color.
    Actually, cool colors give you more mixing options than warm ones. I hope this is helpful to anyone reading!
    It’s good to know this because with just six primaries, black, white, and maybe a brown (for convenience), you can mix almost anything. This is especially useful if you want to build a small, portable palette for painting on the go. 😃

      Hi thank you for your comment. To be honest I am not trying to teach anyone colour theory, my aim with my videos is to have fun, experiment and learn through trying out different things with my own experimentation as that is the best way I learn. Thank you for the input x

    Love playing with Mungyo gallery. Another good cheapy in the UK are Artecho. For playing in my sketchbook, after air-drying for a bit, I seal with Royal Talens Oil Pastel Varnish. It brushes on, dries quickly and very little smell.
    I challenge myself to get tiny details; use the extra firm clay shapers when I don’t want to get messy hands; and baby wipes if I want to play using my fingers and wipe them clean between colours, or clean the ends of the pastels; and use a small diamond shaped palette knife for scraping, making impasto marks, adding fine lines.

      Fab tips thank you! Will definitely have a look for the royal talens sealer xx

    Great video Jane ❤. I had a chuckle when you said I impulse bought something once (pastels) and i thought only once you’ve impulse bought 😂 I love the pretty colours in the box and would just want them for that but in reality i wouldn’t use them because I’d be too lazy to seal every bit of art i did with them!

      Lol! To be fair it is usually look a few times before I order 🤣🤣🤣 x

    I found this video so informative as my husband also gave me pastels for Christmas and I haven't used them yet as I need to get a fixative spray. Really looking forward to playing with them like you did. Thanks so much for this video, perfectly timed for me.

    I also have an oil pastel set, also wonder about sealing and mediums on top. Would be good to see more videos experimenting with this. As I do crafty mixed media collage a lot I wonder if they would make a fab background and seal then collage on top. I’m guessing gesso would not work. What about the distress micro glaze? They do look lovely to play with and smudge. Nice tactile ASMR experience too-bonus!

      Thank you ❤️ I have ordered the sennelier spray fixative as that seems to have the best reviews for fixing oil pastels, but I think I need to do some experiments with other things especially for the adding collage part x
