I’m really happy to see this course. I’ve used oil pastels a few times and like them a lot but I know the guidance in this course will be very useful. I look forward to the next lesson.
Thank you so much for this course, Matt!
I have been looking forward this course since you announced you were gonna make ii. I love oil pastels and can’t wait to learn more about them! Thank you Matt!!
Thank you for this introduction. When can we aspect the next module? Looking forward to it.
Hi Sara,
I try to release a new module every week or two until the course is complete. This is how all of the previous course have been released.
Thank you for doing this course. I am very excited about it as I have just discovered this medium and enjoy your instruction. I have learned so much from your site.
Hello Matt,
Thank you for continuing to grow this site! I love all of the mediums and instruction!
Question:
What would be your suggestion if we only have the Cray-Pas Oil Pastels and not the Sennelier? Could we still finish our artwork the same way?
Thank you,
Hi Dustin,
Absolutely. I’ll be using both brands but you can definitely use only one if you wish.
Hi Matt
I have a set of oil pastels of a brand Talens and they are water soluble. I tried blending them with both Terpentine and water (in a separate test). Though the pastels are water soluble, the blending appears more even (and easier to control) with Terpentine than with water. I love this course. Thanks!
I am not sure which of the two types of oil pastels you are using in the earlier modules.
Looking forward to this course. Gathering the materials, watched the intro module. I am obsessed with the music at the beginning of each module! Love it! Please share what it is. Thank you for offering such good content on so many mediums. You are an excellent teacher!
Has anyone used cobolt dryer with oil pastels? I have noticed that if I use my OSM to blend and smooth that the work will “dry” better then without. So we use Cobalt to help our oil paintings cure faster, what about with the oil pastels?
Hello! None of the videos are working for me. 🙁 Is there a specific application I need?
Hi Ava,
The video is playing normally here. Are you on a shared connection – like at a school or a library?
