Try Sennelier, you will love them. So creamy. Use your fingers to blend.

I wanna buy oil pastels for the first time and strongly consider the Caran d'Ache ones. Knowing that you also tried the neo pastels - how big is the difference to a bit more affordable pastels?

@@basho4306 As of now, I prefer the pentel ones, but mostly because I feel like I can be less precious with them. I would definitely recommend the Caran D'ache ones for those looking for creamier, softer, and richer pastels!

I remember having to do oil pastels in art class and hating it because I couldn’t build up any color. Now I realize the teacher had probably given us the wrong paper😅 Watching you makes me want to try it again!

Right? didn't realize paper came into play when working with them. Guess it makes sense now. :')

I bought these on my own as just something new to try as a very non-artistic person. My interest might've been held for longer than a week had I known I was trying to use pastels on basic drawing paper and that's a no-no, lol.

as an artist (my art is on my yt channel if you'd like to check it out) I can totally relate!! it was pretty hard to use oil pastels for me just because my art teacher gave me the wrong type of paper to use (she gave us regular construction paper :,))

What kind of paper should be used on oil pastels by the way?

Technically speaking oil pastels will work on almost any support a person could come up with such as rocks, wood, various varieties of paper and canvas, glass, etc, etc, etc; however, to answer your question sanded papers work.

Love your aesthetic and approach to art PearFleur 💗 This video was so comforting and beautifully put together with all these vibrant colors, thank youu! ☀️

omgg my two favorite youtube artist are here 😭❤️

I have been using oil pastels as my main medium for many years. I have different brands which range in terms of hardness and pigment. (Sennelier being the softest/ most unctuous). I have developed a range of techniques including variations of the main ones you illustrate. I tend to use cheap acrylics as a ground on most supports as it adds depth to the work. I also apply pastels sometimes by using white spirit and unwrapping them so that I use the sides rather than the tip. Then I bathe the pastel gently and apply in bold strokes to cover larger areas. This is also excellent for using one colour to blend several others. (Sennelier also does an unpigmented pastel which is very useful for blending when you don't want to add colour.) It can and does get very messy. (My nails don't look like yours, sadly. lol) Another technique I use is to use oil pastel over chalk pastel and vice versa. It gives some interesting effects, particularly useful when doing something like a sky and adding clouds, as an example. I also use them over oil paints and when the paint is tacky and almost set. You can use the pastel to push the paint around and add a punch of colour. I use them on 'colorfast' paper which has a good tooth. Or canvas board with added texture using various things like sand and pummice. They are endless fun.

After my grandpa died a few years ago I got a bunch of his art supplies, many of which looked to have been untouched for decades judging by the styles of the packaging, and that included his oil pastels which were totally dried out which was a bummer to me, but I think his soft pastels are still functional so I gotta remember to learn how to work with those one day, and then another day get some decent oil pastels of my own cause it looks so fun to use.

you could reconstitute them with oil mediums

I know I sound like a broken record, I think I comment this every time, but the vibe of your videos and your art blows me away. Every time. ❤️

ok honestly i love that funky little bird u made. hes got Character

I would recommend using a drying oil. Olive oil is non drying so the painting will stay that way indefinitely

Oh goody! Excited to watch this on my lunch break, and then again tonight when I spend some time in my sketchbook! Your videos always find me when I need them most.

This is brilliant on so many levels: quality of instruction, level of detail, colours, techniques, inspiration, gradual building toward your final piece using all the techniques your demonstrated...wow! I have a set of oil pastels and have used them just a little for final touches on watercolours occasionally but you have opened up a new world! Thank you so much!!

best. bird. ever.

Came to the comments to see any roasts on the birb. I don't understand how you expect any roasts when you have us all in awe of your art at the end of the vid XD Please make more of your journey with pastels!

It's a good day when Pear Fleur has a new video up.

i love the face of the bird so much oh my god

This channel is great bc you’re mellow. I’ve been w arching your vids all day.

Yay I've been waiting literally for years for you to try oil pastels 😊 my favorite medium

Ah... oil pastels, my mortal enemy. Until i get better paper that has more tooth in it, me and my oil pastels are gonna despise each other in the meantime.

I am just here for the peeling..the crisp corners are satisfying

Aaaah now I see what I’m missing with my 80 cents oil pastels XD These are so smooth and blendy!! Very delicious lookin !

I just tried oil pastels for the first time because of this video. I've had a small cheap pack of pastels in my drawer for ages but I've never used them but. Oh my god. They're so much fun it's like there's no pressure to make something perfect it's amazing

The way you seem to instinctively understand color and technique is really incredible, I love watching art develop right before my eyes!

Oh my god you made me instantly search up these oil pastels on amazon >///< the power you have over me,,,

This pastel was brought to me by my father so so long ago. I remember my favorite colors and even the smell of it which I loved so much. Pastel was lost somewhere and I could neither find it nor recall the brand. And now I see this wonderful video. Thank you :)

Your art is so beautiful! I remember highschool art classes, the teachers never taught us any techniques! We were just given materials and were told what to draw. There wasn't much experimentation. I'll need to try pastels again!

You know, I think my mom gifted me a set of these same pastels a few years ago. I've honestly never touched them before, i always disliked the look of them when i saw my classmates at art uni using them. But I didn't even come to think about the techniques and outcomes you could get. I'm gonna try them now! Thanks for the inspiration, I do honestly love playing with other mediums.

Oh god the TALENTTT!!💖💖💖 I’ve been watching u for years and yet I’m still so amazed by how talented you are with every video you upload 😭💕💕 it’s so inspiring !!

Glad to hear you get stuck too. I slow stitch when I can’t paint then I watch people like you for inspiration then I usually get an itch for painting again. You are a lovely painter . I like how you paint I could watch you all day .

i love oil pastels and i adore watching how u work with them never tried them on rough paper, so i'm very excited to try that out!!

I love how your videos are an equal mix of informative (showing how the pastels work on different paper), and relaxing! Very inspired to give oil pastels a shot for something both fresh and fun now, the colours are so rich and vibrant.

This reminds me... I have a set of Sakura artist's oil pastels, i hardly use them... I will from now on. Thanks ❤️ for the inspiration.

I love the colour palette you chose for the small studies. The peachy pastels are such a refreshing combination of colours to look at

There's something so therapeutic about your videos.i love it!

it’s so satisfying seeing you use oil pastels!

Wow wow wow I love the color combination

Love how you use colours! Absolutely 😻

Love this! I've been thinking about adding pastels into my work a lot recently so I was really excited to see this video. I remember using this brand in school 🤔 I might have to go order some pastels now...

Thank you for taking my wish on oil pastels from last video into account! I appreciate it so much

I used to own a similar set of oil pastels and that's my first proper set of coloring tools, I still remember the joy of exploring different colors and textures of it!!!! thank you for such a lovely video which reminds me of my childhood!

I have this very same set and no complains so far. Yes, the rough paper works best with these pastels.

I bought that little set because of this video. It looked so fun, trying it out tomorrow, i'm so excited.

i was already kind of itching to try out oil pastels and this video just made me crave in trying it out!!! they look so fun and the textures you get are gorgeous

Just tried oil pastels for the first time yesterday and struggled with blending quite a bit. Really glad to see this video in my feed, it's super helpful!

incredible, fascinating, i'm in love of your work, it's very inspiring.

You make me fall in love with oil pastel again

Love,love,love this!

Thank you for taking away my anxiety, I love your videos and I haven't seen them for a while, today I saw this one and I still feel the same calm as I did a few years ago when I watched your videos. I'm sorry if you don't understand my comment, I don't speak English and I translated what I wanted to write from a web page.

I recently got some oil pastels and started drawing with them. I love their texture and how you can visibly notice the strands of colour they leave on the paper. You can see the journey of your painting.. also it's so fun mixing the colours and blending them into the paper. I love it!

love your little captions and your art. also loved the music choice

Only if you knew how much you inspire me and make me smile everyday.

I love how all the colors look blended together, so satisfying!! Also the colors you chose to draw with are all so nice, esp that mint green 👀 Were you using references to draw the faces? I feel I get into an art block bc I look at my files of references and I STILL can’t think of anything to draw >

i usually use my old oil pastels, i need to get new ones tho but despite being old and dirty, the color is still clean, pigmented, and opaque!! i love it tho! also i really love you art sm!! ❤️ it really is beautiful and comforting to watch your videos!! 😍

Yay! I was so happy to see an oil pastels video from you! I just started exploring them myself and it was a great to see how you tackled getting to know the materials and then finish that lovely painting!! I would love to see more oil pastels videos from you in the future 👏🏼

5:42 my mom thought me this when i was 5 and i remember showing it off to kids at school and they were so impressed lol

I’m always a little reserved when it comes to trying out new mediums, but this encouraged me and inspired me so so much!! Also the motives and the color palettes are so unique, pretty and just go so well together!! 🌷🐸✨

Literally one of your best videos

One time I did a small copy of Dali’s Persistence of Memory painting, you know, the one w the melting clock, w the same oil pastels, and couldn’t believe how easy it was and how much it looked like the painting lol

I love the way you experiment. I need to do more of that and stop focusing on product!!

this is beautiful

I love this video so much.

Your voice is so soothing! Thanks for the video, really inspired me 🧁🍭🎂🍰

Tus video me salvan de la ansiedad y el insomnio, gracias por existir ❤️

Lovely video. I have this same set, I bought it recently after digging out my old 12 set from the same brand and playing around with them and actually enjoyed blending the colours together. I had never seen anyone use them when I bought the first set so never understood what to do with them, got frustrated and put them aside but this time around I had so much fun with them. It helps that they are so cheap so you don’t have to feel too precious about it.

so wonderful as always

Love. Can't wait to get to work.

Love each and every little square 😍 so unique and aesthetic ❤

I have the same set of oil pastels, and each time I felt uncomfortable using them. I just didn´t know how to use them! Thank you so much for inspiration and instructing! 🥰

So beautiful

The aesthetics and color schemes in this one 😩💗

I remember using oil pastel before when I was younger, it was my preferred medium before watercolour because of how nice it was whenever I used them. I liked them more than crayons and it was the medium that made me discover my talent for art. The feeling you have when using it was soothing, the blending of it was satisfying and calm like in the video. It’s been a while since I last used it and I’m ready to use it again after watching this video, thanks.

Amazing art, so beautiful

This video makes me feel so inspired to use oil pastels! I've only used them for school and I didn't really like them because of their feel, but now I'm willing to give it a try! :D

I did not love them when I was younger, but now they are one of my favourite mediums!

such beautiful work! it was so mesmerizing to watch your process and the ASMR was the cherry on top! I've never tried oil pastels but I've been meaning to test something new

Your use of colors is immaculate

Loveddd this

That desk is the perfect cat elevator 😸

It genuinely looks like your having fun while in this video I hope it was ! I really like what you made

This is perfect timing! I was just looking at my oil pastels I bought last year that have been sitting in a drawer wondering when would be a good time to use them 🤗

the experimentation was really cool !

this was inspiring, and I only get inspired to create when I see something amazing

I loved your every single pastel drawing

色使いも音も心地よいビデオ

Sensual and inspiring video - thank you!

Thats to you now i realize how easy it is to clean them!

Beautiful beautiful ❤️

stunning work as always!! 💘 i recently started using oil pastels to practice mini sketches and color theory before starting an oil piece. ive been feeling really unmotivated to create lately so this video helped a lot :)

this is so cool!

❤️So helpful and inspiring! Thank you!

You have a magnificent talent 🫶🏻 thanks for the content ❤️

Lovely! 🤩

I would love to see a behind the scenes video! You make the most beautiful and aesthetic videos

Your color choices are always on point. And while I really disliked working with pastels in the past, you made me curious to try them again!

SOOOOOOO NICE

Thank you for making a video about oil pastel, especially on pentel oil pastel.

Ooh, this feels so nostalgic for me. When I took art classes as a teen, we almost worked exclusively with oil pastels (I think my teacher liked them because they were relatively cheap and easy to clean up). I didn't like them at first because it felt like it was only a small step up from drawing with crayons as a kid, and I wanted to use the more 'glamorous' mediums like gouache or oil paint. However, as I worked with them, I came to appreciate this medium in itself. I like the texture it produces, the feel of the oil pastel in my grasp, the ease we which you can use it, the different effects it produces... Watching your video has inspired me to go find my old oil pastels (hopefully they haven't dried up!) and try using them again.

Wonderful!
