![Art supplies I regret buying 😱 [watercolors]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PNKpSQe6jbs/mqdefault.jpg)
here's an idea for your "frugal friday," you may have already done this a bit; get out your supplies that are 5 yr old, or 10 yr old and retest them, how do they compare with your initial review? Especially tube paints, which ones have hardened in the tube?
That's a great idea!!
Watercolor is supposed to never expire because it reactivates in water
@@recoveringsoul755 true, and most do, however i have some which have hardened which means cutting open the tube to access the paint.
@@recoveringsoul755 true, and most do, however i have some which have hardened which means cutting open the tube to access the paint.
@@grannysmithart You can soak them in water.open the cap and sit the tube in water. It works for me.
Always love and trust your reviews to guide my purchasing of art supplies 🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
oh FINALLY !!! Do you know how long I've craved for this review from you 😂 My personal favorite Chinese oil pastels !
I've had the basic and morandi sets for 2 years now and they're crazy rich and creamy (theyve got a bit of slickness too??) and I love to use them with my MOPV mungyos. I remember only paying 20-something if converted to USD for each. They're very fun to mix with other pastels of different firmness, and I love em for glazing! What I personally like to do is to cut a bit off and make a small palette and just use some medium and a brush 😊
Thank you so much for the thorough presentation of the products! ❤
Great tips, thank you!
@@thefrugalcrafterall but the macaron are sold out with the link provided sadly ,any other recommendations of where to find them would be greatly appreciated.
They will probably be back but if not the paul rubesn macaron set is very similar, I had those so did not get the squares. I think the shape is not as important because they are so soft. I am on the hunt for a harder square pastel. Oh, I just checked there is 2 macaron square set in stock: amzn.to/3OrmfOu @@tabbi888
@@thefrugalcrafterI have (an older set - like 20+years, lol! ) of CrayPays Specialist oil pastels - the specialist line come in square shape as well. They are on the harder side and I love them for their corners. They were my OG pastel brand. (:
@@tabbi888encontra no aliexpress.
If you make another pastel painting, try sealing it with mod podge. I like to let my paintings sit for a couple of days and then use the mod podge. I use a really soft brush and a light hand to apply.
Try it on a painting you're not attached to first to see how it works for you.
Thanks for the tip!
Hi Lindsey! do you teach pan pastels?
@karenhoward303 I have some long lessons in Critique Club and one of the projects in my class soft pastels for beginners is pan pastel. I have some youtube videos as well.
Nice, thorough review. The colors are pretty. My circa 1970s chalk pastels are square, too. They were stored in my barn for the past 30 years and work fine, but I know they're a different composition than those. Thank you!
I haven't had many pastels go bad, the chalk ones don't seem to change and while I've had some oil pastes get a bit drier overtime it's not very noticeable. I think the ones that are harder and drier to begin with probably have a shorter shelf life (I tossed a Crayola the other day that went bad) but my cheap, hard pentels are still going strong!
Love the thought of oil pastels, enjoy watching others play with them, but know myself enough to keep from jumping in that pool. I don’t do messy
It's good to know yourself (it does get messy!
Great to hear. I bought them at half the price hoping to be a good deal and be like the mungyo soft 🎉. Awaiting the arrival of the 3 sets 😊. I really like working with oil pastels.
Sweet deal, I think you will enjoy them!
Hi Lindsay, thank you for the review! I am more into the budget friendly oil pastels these days because as you showed, they wear out pretty fast! I just want to play and unwind with art. Recently I tried Mont Marte extra soft oil pastel, they are really buttery and affordable too. Maybe you can try and do comparison with those brands you already have
i love the mont marte xtra softs too. they're so smooth. i use them with the paul rubens oil pastels and they play well together. both are pretty affordable too.
I wondered about those! I need to do more paintings and use some of my stash up first to make some room!
In 2024, I'm wanting to get into oil pastels. These square shaped pastels look good. Thank you Lindsay. Thanks for the sharing the price you paid, because it encourages me to wait for good deals.
To clarify, that was the price at the time of recording, but the pastels were sent to me for free for review.
@@thefrugalcrafter Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification. It helps me wait for good deals when I know the estimated price.
One of your reviews from several years ago helped me buy Master's touch metallic paints and I've had it for many years. I enjoy mark making with it - without the fear of wasting paint on my practice art work. They lasted a very long time and I bought them up when it was on clearance because the wrapping was torn, but the paints were still good.
I love your reviews! They are so helpful!
Glad you like them!
I don’t do much oil pastel at all. But having your reviews (and videos in general) has been great for any sort of boring chore like folding laundry
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for this good review. I learned a few more things about oil pastel.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Lindsay. It's nice to watch a proper review before buying my art/craft supplies. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
I have both the Holbein oil pastels, and the Cray Pas Specialist oil pastels, both of which are square. (Holbein also has an “academic” line, which is the student grade pastel, and is round, and is quite different from the artists’ line - almost like a softer wax crayon. Cray Pas, of course, has several lines, and the Specialists are considered the highest grade.) I always find it so interesting how different the consistency of oil pastels, even the artist grade ones, are from brand to brand. Holbein is actually quite soft, but I would describe it as dry/velvety. To me it’s almost like working with a soft (“chalk”) pastel, despite the oil binder. If you imagine a very soft pastel, like Unison, and how it can almost melt onto the paper, yet is dry, that is how Holbein feels to me. That is in contrast to Sennelier, also soft, but stickier. The Cray Pas Specialist line is much harder, and is waxy, but it seems like some sort of synthetic wax and is very smooth. It is very different from, say, a wax crayon, or other “waxy” oil pastels I have tried. Erengi oil pastels from Jerry’s Artarama (at least they used to sell them) are round, but otherwise virtually identical to Cray Pas Specialist. I believe both are Japanese, and they have the same color names and identical consistency. What stands out to me with the Cray Pas Specialist oil pastels (which are really excellent, but somehow don’t seem to be very popular) is that they are fairly transparent, like all Cray Pas oil pastels. This is less of an issue when used on a textured surface, but you can really see it on smoother paper. I also wanted to mention that I have observed a.) various oil pastel brands “dry out” over time (Caran d’Ache Neopastels hardened within a year, I’d say…) and b.) your climate/current humidity/temperature can make a huge difference to your experience with oil pastels. I often see a lot of really conflicting descriptions of oil pastels in particular, and I think it comes down to that. What I have written here is my experience with newer oil pastels in, say, moderate temps/humidity levels.
Thank you for this thoughtful and thorough comment. The Caran d'Ache Neopastels are my favorite, but I've had mine for less than a year. Gonna have to monitor how much they dry out. I received a Holbein oil pastel by mistake in a Blick order not too long ago and I completely agree with your assessment with regards to the velvetty, almost chalk pastel feel. What kind of paper do you like to work with for your Holbein and Cray-Pas Specialist pastels?
@@akschauer I don’t really understand what causes oil pastels to dry out/harden when they don’t contain drying oils, but I’ve had it happen to me with several brands, and moving them to a warm/humid area doesn’t do a whole lot to restore them. So frustrating, but it also seems like a hit or miss thing among different people, so I hope yours are spared. For paper, I like Canson Mi-Teintes as a lightly textured paper (and I like all the different colors it comes in.) The thing I do most often for Specialist pastels is apply clear gesso (I like Liquitex) to either the Mi-Teintes, or any heavier-weight watercolor paper. The clear gesso gives a finish very much like a sanded paper, and makes some of the harder oil pastels go on more like soft/creamy oil pastels. I often use Fabriano Studio Hot Press watercolor paper (140 lb, I think - comes in a pad) for all kinds of things, but it works really well with the clear gesso. It’s actually not a great watercolor paper because it seems to have very hard external sizing, but it is otherwise very versatile.
@@Anonymoi Thank you, that is very helpful information. 🙂
Thank you so much for this! I am curios about both hobein and the Cray pas specailist. I was looking for a harder square stick, so I will put them on my "to try" list. This was most helpful info, thanks again!
Beautiful pastels! Always learn so much from your reviews. Love your avocado art! Thanks for the video. 🥰
My pleasure 😊
Those pastels are gorgeous!
You covered many important points in this interesting video! Thank you for that. I watched a video where the oil pastel artist did a thorough review of fixatives and if you would be interested I would forward it. I just didn’t know if it would be proper without asking you. Thanks Lindsay.😉🤗
Thank you, if you link it youtube will remove it but you can share the channel name and video title so folks can find it:)
@@thefrugalcrafter - Hi Linda and Lindsay. The name of the channel/oil pastel artist I believe you are thinking of is Rich Arriagada and he did a review of several fixatives, He did an update on one that he didn't like in the first review video. He had gotten a defective product. It is now his choice - Krylon UV Archival Matte. Video name is I tried out this Varnish and it surprised me.
thank you! @@valerielynch2042
hi linda which artist was it?
@@alinamartinez4280 His name is Rich Arriagada. If you like oil pastels I am sure you will enjoy his videos!
Great review! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
They smudge with blenders very well..loving these sooo much...thank you for showing them😊❤❤❤
My pleasure 😊
The avocado painting is so beautiful!
Thanks 😊
fantastic review, These look so good ☺☺
Thank you 🤗
Nice avocados! Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Why do I want buy and try everything you review??? Thank you for sharing.. and as ever, for your honesty! ❤
You are so welcome!
I got the classic set. Looking forward to using them.
I hope you like them!
Beautiful avocados, and these oil pastels look nice and creamy without being too soft😁 Would love to see you try out the van gogh oil pastels and see where they fall on the scale of hardness and softness! 😊
Great idea!!
Great review as always!! Thank u for comparing with other brands...i am holdinhg myself to wait a few months to buy my first oil pastels
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, the Frugal Crafter Empire! Thanks for the review, Empress 😂
Any time!
These look like fun. Thanks for the review.
I couldn't find them on canada amazon yet, but I'm sure it will be there in a few days.
Fingers crossed!
Thank you, Lindsay. As always, great, thorough, honest review. I really value your channel. Wonderful information. Be well. Sondra Borrie
Thank you! You too!
Hullo Lindsay, I have decided that I am not going to be using oil pastels and concentrated on soft pastels. Pastels are just so expensive and I understand why, the pure pigment sticks are just so amazing! Now painting with pastels is so different than every other medium that I have used in my artistic journey. I will always be going back to watercolors but I am trying to create a looser way of working! Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us!
My pleasure!
As you have been wondering about the pronunciation, the D in D'Artigny is not pronounced as a separate letter it's not "D-Artigny" - it's "dartigny" (as if it were one word) . To make it easy to remember, think about D'Artagnan and the 3 musketeers - the pronunciation is quite similar to that, except for the "I/y" sounds - so it's (think 3 musketeers but with swapped letters!) D'artIgnY☺("darteenyeee", with the emphasis put on the very end of the word)🤺⚔🎨
I must say, pastels have always spooked me (between the giant mess potential and the whole "never drying" business) but you make them much less scary!
Wonderfully helpful review (even if just to calm my frayed nerves!)
I'm so glad!
For me it's also the substrate, seems very expensive to make it look good. Any suggestions on a paper?
@juicytulipboutiqueandartis8051 get a bottle of liquatex clear gesso. It makes and surface perfectly gritty.
Hi, Lindsay. Thank you for your video.🎉.
You are so welcome!
Thanks Lindsay. 💜
You are so welcome!
Thank you for a nice review. I have Paul Rubens and both Mungyo sets. I just didn't get into the mess. Even with the silicone finger tips, tools, it was too messy for me.
The colors are certainly vibrant.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you soooo much for this review, what a fantastic timing! i've been eyeing these for two months now on aliexpress, but i didn't know if they were any good - thanks to you i know exactly what to expect! just ordered a set.
i'm hoping the square shape would make smaller details easier.
you made me laugh though, as you were dead set on adding an "i" in mo-ran-di. fun fact, morandi was an italian painter, and i'm guessing he was into these beautiful, moody colours.
The pastelscwears down quickly, making the square shape not as big of an advantage, but I find using colored pencil for details to be useful.
Great review, I’m not the best with pastels (ok I make blobs they be artistic but definitely blobs) apart of me wants to give these oil pastels a go might need to try. I have seen those square ones in Japan (it’s got English and Denmark food stationary in as well) Mart they were sold separately himm maybe I should pick up six colours three warm three cool and give them a go. I’m just intrigued by your lovely pastel work. Fun watch and I found very informative.
Thank you! That's a great idea, grab a small set or a few open stock and see what you think. There are different ranges of hardness and pigmentation across brands but you can get a good idea if you like them or not before you spend a lot.
Just after Christmas, Amazon had a 50 set of the Pentel oil pastels on sale for a really good price (less than the Craypas set of ten). I haven't worked with Pentel before so the comparison of all of the brands was super useful! It's clear, too, that using different brands of different hardness/softness can be really beneficial!
Glad to help!
You can pop up those oil pastel sticks easyly by pressing the end of the stick. It lift up the other end. Same thing with Paul Rubens oil pastels.
Good to know!
I have the Kuelox set of 48 and the Morandi as well. Haven't opened them since they arrived months ago haha. But it's nice to know they're actually really good. They just don't sell it in square form here in the Philippines.
Thank you for the thorough review, especially for comparing the hardness to other brands. Do they feel sticky? The reason why I don't like the original Paul Rubens and the van Gogh oil pastels is because they feel sticky instead of creamy almost like I'm painting with solid slime instead of hardened oil or butter.
They feel creamy to me, especially the morandi colors.
I don't like the feeling of soft (chalk) pastels on my hands (or the way the feel when applying them, it makes me shudder) but I looove and have always loved, since I was a child, the way oil pastels feel. I kind of get the opposite feeling from them than I do from soft pastels - I love the tactile feedback and using my fingers because they are so buttery. I find it pleasant and satisfying.
I totally agree!
Oh wow! Im actually waiting for the basic set to arrive at any moment now. The status is out for delivery and I cant wait! I bought them when I saw the previous video where you were using them. 😊 I also bought the other 2 sets, but those are coming on Friday. 😊
Have fun!
@@thefrugalcrafter ohhh and the Pentel, I told you on the previous video, I was gonna try AGAIN, to check on the smell, are arriving tomorrow... So I havent forgot about letting u know.... 😉
Tomorrow I'll let u know... crossing my fingers here... ima gonna be so heartbroken if they came with the same horrid gas smell again... 😢
@@veystone2580 - I saw your comment, have you been able to try the Pentels? Thanks
@@LakerSlots they're supposed to get here today by 9:00 pm... and, for me, is still 2:38pm, sooooo.... still waiting! 😆 We are all waiting... 😅
@@LakerSlots Bah! I went to check and they changed the delivery date for Thursday! Hate when that happens. 😡 Oh well... nothing more to do other than keep waiting... 🙄
I got a 90 pack tray to put all my oil pastels in as I ended up with extras that meant I couldn't fit my original oil pastels in a different tray. You would want to get a lot more white and black. Also I get extra skin tones due to all the life drawing I do.
Thank you for the great review!
If you are interested, the professional line of Pentel oil pastels has square shape.
Also if you can get a hold of it, how about Big Oil Pastel Baby from Kawachi art supplies store?
They are handmade and you can only get them in Japan, so probably not something you can recommend to you subscribers, but they could be something very special. 😊
I'd love to find those pro pentels!
very good
Okay, so after getting the round version after much debating, there was a catalog that provide detailed conditions of all the sets. So supposedly that the quality of the round and the square sets are the same, the round ones weigh about 8 grams each while the mini square is 11 grams each (the full square is 23g, but it is much trickier to buy). So it is understandable why the square ones would be a bit pricier, though i just assumed it was because it was a new design
Good to know!
Can you review Derwent art supplies specially the pastel pencil....pleaseeeeeee❤😊
Thank you for this. Oil pastels, or pastels in general, are not my go to because I really don’t like the mess. Kind of like charcoal. I’ll take any paint or anything, but not pastel, lol. Thanks again. 🌺
I totally understand:)
Aren't Caran D'Ache neocolor I and II also oil pastels? I wonder why you didn't include them in the comparison?
Thank you for the great extensive and honest reviews!! I learned tons about colors, pigments and art materials from your channel :)
They are harder and more like a crayon. The neo one is a touch softer than a prismacolor art stick. They are similar but I don't feel that they are in the same category. I have not tried their neophytes either but I would like to!
Serious want monster over here 😂. And even more marvellously, the three sets of these are available very affordably here in the UK. Is that a good thing???😂😂😂 Great review, thanks as always
Glad you like them!
You convinced me to throw these in my Saved cart. Have you tried Micro Applicator Brushes with oil pastels? They're tiny cotton swabs and are good for adding details after picking up color from the oil pastels. I'd like to see you demonstrate how silicone/rubber brushes can be used in a separate video. The times I've tried using them, I've not found them as useful as other tools. Micro Applicator Brushes would have deposited more color. Maybe I'm using the rubber brushes wrong.
I have not tried that. I used them in this video th-cam.com/video/UzBOD6tnCbw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WSDPzftB4KH9MMZ4 and I also used them in my avocado tutorial but it is a time lapse. th-cam.com/video/NbaTMO0VoQw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xyJN8i22Hf5WTSY4 it probably time for a dedicated video, I'll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@thefrugalcrafter Things went pretty quick in the avocado tutorial because 99% of the blending was fingers. TH-cam recommended this video of your oil pastel Misty Forest and you used the rubber tools a bit more. The Micro Applicator Brushes fit your frugal style with 500 for under $7 at Amazon. I got 2.5mm, but they have heads as thin as 1.5mm, but what I have is fine for details. I haven't used them enough to decide if I want smaller.
th-cam.com/video/qtdPMh3DPss/w-d-xo.html
@richardgagnon4234 if they work I'd stick with them. The nail tools are cheap and reusesable so also frugal.i think I willdo a video on them exclusively tho!
I used to get the Sakura CrayPas Specialist oil pastels as I could get individual colours for cheap. They were also square ones. Unfortunately the supplier cannot get them anymore and I do not want to go back to buying entire sets each time to replace one colour.
Bummer.
Hi got a couple of questions 1) are water soluble oil pastels the same as oil pastels? 2) can you repeat what you would purchase to start with a brand name for soft and medium or hard oil pastels? thank you !!!
Water soluble oil pastels can be diluted with water and traditional oil pastels can't. You would need mineral spirits for that.
Pastel recommendations:
Oil Pastels-You will want some hard, medium and very soft to layer.
Hard: Pentel: Cheapest on Blick: shrsl.com/4dzd9 also on amazon: amzn.to/3O87VKn
Medium Kulox: amzn.to/3SrMuqd or Mungyo Gallery Soft oil pastel: (blick) shrsl.com/4dzdg (amazon) amzn.to/3u1tZ2I
Super soft:
Paul Rubens Haiya: amzn.to/47P8QGG
Sennelier (blick) shrsl.com/4dzdl or amazon: amzn.to/48INewX
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you so much!!! You are the BEST!
I have the Haiya set. Do you think I would benefit from having these also before I start my first painting (at some point) lol
These are firmer than the haiya but still quite soft and creamy. If use what you have, first and see if you feel like you want a firmer stick in addition to these.
Hi Lindsay. I have the Paul Rubens oil pastels and you say these are softer; so would they work over top of the Paul Rubens?
They should if you blend the PR (original formula) down a bit first, the Haiya line is even softer tho so best for the final layer.
Have you tried using these oil pastels since this review video? Have you tried specifically using them with Paul Rubens or Mungyo oil pastels? I purchased the muted colors Mondari set and mine at least, don’t seem to play very nicely with other oil pastels as originally thought - whether I layer them on top of harder pastels or they’re my base layer. And regardless of whether or not, I use them by themselves, or in combination with another oil, pastel brand, at a certain point, they want to scrape off and takeoff layers of the pastel underneath them. Curious if you or anyone else have had this experience as well after further play? Maybe I got a bad/off set?
I have used them with all my other brands and didn't notice an issue. I just used them in the mid layers and they were fine. I worked on a gessoed wood panel.
Hi Lindsey. I was trying to find the paperpad you suggested but I couldn't find it doing a search or going thru your Amazon list. Do you have a link?
Sure, its canson xl sand grain mixed media, I'll add a link in the description as well : shrsl.com/4eawn
Hi Lindsay, my silicone brushes don't work with my pentel oil pastels... It may be because I don't have enough pastel on my paper? Or because of the pastels?
Pentels are harder so they won't blend as much.
I think Moriandi was an artist who used very pastely specific palette, I guess they name it by that artist
Yes. You are correct:)
Do you have any idea how they compare in softness to the faber castell pastels?
I don't think I've use fabercastel oil pastels before so I can't say. They are very similar to mungyo Gallery soft oil pastels in softness and opacity.
Do you think there are any significant differences between these and their round shape pastel? I'm torn between getting which one, cause the round one is a bit cheaper
I don't have the round Verdon ok kuelox but thy are similar to round Paul ruben and mungyo.
Royal Talents have oil pastel vernis.
Thanks for the info!
QUESTION I'm sorry. It has nothing to do with these. What cheap watercolor paper would you recommend for brushos, sprays, and basic watercolor backgrounds. My problem is that I would prefer it not be overly thick.
Hullo Jess, I am not Lindsay, yet I have been a working artist for years and there has been times when I had to cut corners, now paper is the last place to skimp on, BUT I have found house brands are less expensive than say Arches and other big name brands! So look at CheapJoe’s Kilimanjaro watercolor paper, Blick’s has 2 store brands 1 is 100% cotton the 2nd is a mix of wood pulp and cotton. I want to say that you will be happier with 100% cotton paper. You can find cotton paper without emptying your wallet! Now another way to save some money is buy multi-media paper that accepts water. I wish you only the best, good luck 🍀
@mjpete27 Thank you. I am not as picky about paper because this is mainly for backgrounds on cards. I make about 500 cards a year for church. I am taking a good long look at what is lingering in my craft area, and what really gets used. Colored cardstock lingers. I would like to finish off my colored cardstock and then stick with white cardstock that will go through the printer. I love digitals. 100 pound white cardstock. White sulphite sketch paper, and white watercolor paper.
Hi @jesseb5112 I recommend fabriano studio hot press 90#. You can get a 75 sheet pad for under $30 but 12 sheet pads are around $7. They have cold press too if you like texture. The hotness works great for stamping and watercolors and waterbased markers. You might want the cold press for brush. The 90lb will die cut and emboss great. This paper should meet all of your cardmaking needs. It's 25% cotton too!
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you!!! When my spending freeze ends, I am definitely buying watercolor paper to replace the pads I will be finishing soon. Die cutting easily is a huge deal!
Unfortunately all except the macaron colours are already sold out with the link provided. It states they don't know if they're coming back. So sad, they look great if anyone has other links or knows where to get the other sets, it would be greatly appreciated.
Saw them on temu for about double the amazon price. Probably better to wait for a restock on amazon.
Watch out, someone who left a comment got a bad crumbly batch from temu.
@@thefrugalcrafter another good reason to wait for amazon to restock. I often wonder if temu is where they dump old stock or batches that don't pass quality control. Also have to be careful as temu can sometimes be way more expensive than amazon when it comes to art supplies.
@Iwanttodrawachicken and the seller is lightwish, they sell Paul rubens and arrtx and have good customer service and have been selling in Amazon for years unlike some of the "alphabet soup" companies that come and get kicked off amazon and pop up with a new string of letters as a name.
Where would you put neopastels in the softness lineup?
I don't have them, but I will try them someday as I love Caran D'ache products. I think they are harder but softer rhan pentel and Crayola. Hopefully, others who have used them will chime in as I have no first-hand experience.
@@thefrugalcrafter they are all I have. I love them but honestly I wish they were a smidge harder.
Where can i get a color chart for these?
Im not sure if it didn't come with one.
Those look same sold in Temu.
Good video between watching grimm,and a hexenbeast 😂
Glad you enjoyed
@@thefrugalcrafter 😆🤗
very good
Thanks
