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.

This is fantastic, thank you! Looking all over for a video on oil pastels. Hopefully you'll make more!

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.

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 🙏

Your art is literally amazing! You deserve way more recognition!

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.

I just bought a small pack of oil pastels to try them. This video couldn’t have come at a better time!

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!

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

You are the king of oil pastels! Such a joy to watch! Thank you :)

Thank you so much for helping a soft pastel beginner such as myself. I FINALLY got it! Yay!!!

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 :)

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! ⚘

I adore you! You are a wonderful artist! Oh my God! The landscape is beautiful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!🙏🏻😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Love oil pastels, thank you! Very nice painting!

Wow, your explanations are so helpful! I have never used oil pastel and would like to learn. Thank you for helping us with your instruction.

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!

Wow this is amazing! This is by far the best explanation of how to use oil pastels I have ever seen! Thank you!

Gorgeous and inspirational!

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.

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 👍👏🎨🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞

Merci infiniment pour cette excellente démonstration ! 👍

Beautiful painting!

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.

This was something really superb...👍👍.. I’m so very inspired I’m going to dust my pastels which were lying back for quite sometime

Gorgeous painterly effect I love it 😊

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.

Great tutorial, and so inspirational!!!

Beautiful can't believe oil pastels can work so amazingly 😘❤️👌👌

Amazing very helpful tutorial

Amen about color names...lets use value and color to describe. Thank you!

Fantastic that's an amazing work

Ooo, Yikes! I just traveled to your KZread 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 👍🏼

Wonderful !!!

It looks like a painting. Nice

Great work ♥️

Gracias por este video ❤️ es de mucha ayuda ☺️

Very beautiful. Love your technique. I have problems with detail. You sure don't.. Lovely, O

Beautiful

Best use of oil pastels I've ever came across... this changes my mind, as I constantly look for blending my layers... want to try this approach, even though my pastels are slightly harder Mungyo Gallery... do you think they could work for this kind of approach, or would you recommend switching to Senneliers? Thank you for your work

I really like this medium.

Brilliant

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

amazing

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.

Thank you for your videos! Love them all. Question: do you differentiate when you sell or post your oils and oil pastels? Or do you just say that’s it’s an oil painting? Thanks!!

😀🌺Your video is so beautiful. 🎵🎶❤좋아요👍👍

This is beautiful! Is oil pastel going to last decades as oil painting and maintain their color and depth? I've read somewhere that oil pastel never dries (and can't be varnish properly like oil painting because of that). I'm currently drawing with colored pencils, I've just tried some acrylics, but didn't like it, so I'm interested in pastels. Between oil pastel and soft pastel, i like the feel and contrast of the oil, but i also wanted it to dry and be archival as the other mediums. Congratulations on your work and channel!

It's amazing

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?

Looks great Matt. I love oil pastels (-: Marion

Hi this is an amazing art work and keep doing more, you are an amazing artist?! And what type of paper do you use and where do you get it from. Thank you

This looks amazing! I’m thinking trying out some oil pastels (I mainly do watercolor) for a change. Is a 24-color set more than enough to start with?

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?

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

Excellent video and thank you for the tutorial. How can we sign an oil pastel painting, supposing we have no white paper area left?

Matt, when painting and framing an oil pastel, do you put glass over the painting or leave it as is?

Super excited for this demo, will be trying today! The only thing I wish is that you would suggest a substrate that's amenable to oil pastels. I found when I used this paper on your last demo of poppies that the oils leaked right through. Thanks for the lesson regardless!

Hi Joshua, Hmmm, that's strange. I've used this paper for many years without any issues. Did you use oil pastels or oil sticks?

Very good video. How dies one seal/preserve and frame oil pastels?

Wow, this was excellent, thank you! I hope I one day can afford these superior oil pastels. What set did you have (how many colors)?

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.
