I'm an old (70) Professional wildlife & portrait artist, I have taught classes, know all the "RULES", and decided I wanted a loose abstract landscapes done with the oil pastels, for that awesome rich wild colors...I'm thoroughly ENJOYING your lessons, researching all the lessons to apply when I dig into the work...Bing watching your videos! Just wanted to THANK YOU for all the great videos for FREE, I could never afford lessons, and I'm just so GREATFUL for them!!!
This tutorial made me see oil pastel paintings as equivalent to oil paintings. Loved learning from this video and made a lovely painting myself. My family and friends are all praises for my this painting. Thanks Matt for such an inspiration.

Amazing!! I'd love to see more impressionist oil pastel videos. Can we have a video on the basics of impressionist landscape with oil pastel for Absolutely beginners? I'm experimenting with oil pastel but I need to learn a lot. Thank you so much. I love the painterly look too.
I always wondered how i could layer colors with oil pastels especially since i work with a limited palette and this video was very helpful. Now i'm gonna start using textured paper and hopefully it will make it easier.
You are amazing. I already did two oil pastel pictures based on your videos, this is one of them. It's unbelievable how fast one can progress with a great tutor. Keep up the good work and thank you very much!
Wonderful video. I have been thinking about having a break from watercolour and trying out oil pastels, or watercolour background with a pastel subject/foreground. I love the expression you can achieve with this medium. You demonstrated how to use the pastels effectively which is incredibly helpful. Thank you for a lovely video :)
Wow !!! This is the most informative video I have found so far regarding how to use oil pastels in general aside from getting that painterly look …thank you
Really enjoyed this! Wonderful skills that you have shared. It is amazing to see the beautiful landscape emerging from the meticulous "brush"strokes.... I hope I'll be able to learn these skills...... Thank you so much and Best regards.
I’m truly enjoying your teaching… You’ve ‘showed up’ as I’ve just decided that oil pastel with possibly experimenting with a watercolor under painting has taken root… Your work is amazing as is exactly what I was looking for and needed. Trying to decide which brand of pastels right now. Your suggestions have helped there, as well. Thank you 🙏
Love this tutorial. Gorgeous landscape. I would love a place like that to just sit with my dog and shut out the world. It looks heavy. Thank you for this. I never tried oil pastels before I wasn't really sure what to do and how to use them. They kind of intimidated me until I saw this tutorial. Thank you. I no longer feel intimidated but rearing to go and try it. What can possibly go wrong. Well the week I'm having now. Everything!!🤣🤣🤣🤣. But at least I will have tried and made that first move and keep trying and hopefully get better. We all have to start somewhere. Thanks again. God bless Susan 👍👏🎨🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞
Very good, very informative video. I’m drawn to oil pastel. As an oil and acrylic painter who has a strong background in soft pastel in my former incarnation, I’m fascinated with this medium. Your tutorial is much more ‘informing’ in their use. Thank you. I will be following you and your tutorials on this subject… 💖
Thank you so much for this! 🙏 I got a set of oil pastels way back, but never got round to it! I will now though! 🎨 You gave me the kickstart I needed for this medium - so greatful! ❤ I will definetely check out your website too! ⚘
Super useful info! I am totally new to oil pastels and this video was awesome! Thanks man!! As always, I can count on your videos to learn me something new!!;)
Ooo, Yikes! I just traveled to your TH-cam page and see that you actually don’t have a collection of videos on the subject of oil pastel. I hope you do more eventually. In the meantime, I believe I can convert some of your videos in painting in oil as well as some of your drawing videos into instruction that will help with my education on oil pastel. Again, thanks for this one. Very good 👍🏼
Beautiful! I use dry pastels but love oil painting so I will try some oil pastels. I think it would respond to oms and textural things that a palette knife might be fun to use. I come from a watercolor color background yet loved oil painting and with the cost of supplies,this might be as close as it gets for me. Thank you.
Thank you this is extremely helpful, I bought some polyurethane to make layers of pastel but I should probably invest in some good cold press (?) paper
Love this way of using oil pastels for texture and vibrancy of not smoothly blended colors but would you kindly give any suggestions for managing oil,pastels paintings? I bought a spray fixative for oil,pastels but wondering how long would I have to wait for such thickness of stuffs to dry. Please help me. Thank you for your sharing
This is great, thanks so much. I'm wondering why you use orange paper? I personally find the orange bits peeking through to be distracting, but is that the effect you're going for?
Consider being more painterly by first building a tonal underpainting with a first layer of oil pastel with the addition of an alkyd gel like Resngel rubbed into the first layer of oil pastel. Better integration is achieved. Your use of. lues is very nice.

The oil pastel landscape with tree is awesome. You are so talented Matt. Thanks again. Another Matt here in San Diego.
Wow, brilliant work. I have been painting for about a year and someone just gifted me a set of oil pastels. This was very inspiring.
This is fantastic, thank you! Looking all over for a video on oil pastels. Hopefully you'll make more!
Thank you! Will do!

Thanks a lot, it's so awesome for a beginner like me! I haven't seen oil pastels used this way and I love it. I feel tempted to try it!
Merci infiniment pour cette excellente démonstration ! 👍
You are a fabulous teacher, your work is beautiful! You have inspired me to pick up my oil pastels once again, my favorite medium when I was a kid.
Thank you so much for helping a soft pastel beginner such as myself. I FINALLY got it! Yay!!!
Wow this is amazing! This is by far the best explanation of how to use oil pastels I have ever seen! Thank you!
Looks great! Thank you for sharing this and for your detailed explanation. This may be my cue to get those oil pastels out and give it another try.
You are the king of oil pastels! Such a joy to watch! Thank you :)

Matt rewatching as I love the guitar music and to see you do oil pastels. Hope you have more oil pastels before 2020 is over. A favorite for sure.

What type of fixative or varnish do you use? It's a question, thank you for your video and your answer.
Very good video. How dies one seal/preserve and frame oil pastels?
What kind of oil pastels do you use to have that kind of texture
Thank u for such an amazing idea
Wonderful !!!
Gracias por este video ❤️ es de mucha ayuda ☺️

Awesome tutorial, I love oil pastels but it's difficult medium, hope for more oil pastels tutorials 😀
Excellent video and thank you for the tutorial. How can we sign an oil pastel painting, supposing we have no white paper area left?
I just got a box of oil pastels for Christmas. Never having used them I found your tutorial so helpful. Now to try it on my own. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much!!
👍💚 маслянная пастель это Чудо материал.

incredible, thanks you
I've tried oil pastels several times and didn't like them or my results. I'll be trying again with this. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Quality of pastels really matter a lot when it comes to oil pastels.
amazing
Great video. But would love to see the source image while you worked. Thanks
Brilliant
Fantastic that's an amazing work
Hi, Math, thank you for your videos - you do amazing job. But is it possible to have image of drawing pictures on the screen in some corner?
