Nice attempt. Impressionism is tailor made for oil pastels. But, you should take a look at the colour chart and avoid complimentary colours or you will create a lot of browns by blending colours which are complimentary to each other. Instead may I suggest placing complimentary colours next to each other rather than blending them together for maximum effect as Seurat and van Gogh did. Just my two cents, I am no master of oil pastels either.
I think the first art lesson everyone should have is building their own color wheel with different mediums. Manufactured color wheels give you the basis but they can never reproduce the color you will achieve with your particular medium. Building your own allows you to get a feel for how much of each color you need to get the desired result. Also, for me the fun part is adding white for tints and complementary colors for graying. Even a small set of paints can achieve a wide variety of colors. Thanks for this video. It was very helpful.
Beautiful, thanks a lot for teaching an easy way to colour with oil pastels. Besides, you used pentel brand which I didn’t have it has a good brand of oil pastels
Great, very helpful, instructional video that was easy to comprehend and follow. During this COVID pandemic, I thought that I would try some much needed therapy. It certainly activates my creative juices and mitigates stress . Merci bien.
Pentel are hard pastels that do not blend well. Easiest way is to blend pastels together on top of each other rather than blending with stump or finger. There were many places you could have blended with finger. Once I saw the Pentel I realized why you didn’t Remember the sky will always reflect the ground. If it’s sunset then the ground is not as green and vibrant, the sun has gone down making a lot of shadows. Trees in background should be dark or gray in color and trees closer should have dark bits added to create shadows. The water would not be as blue when sun has gone down. Just some friendly advice. Take care
T H E S T U F F Oil pastels are not crayons as the binder is much different. You can even move these around just as you would regular oil paints with linseed oil or turps
Good tutorial but the background music is completely unnecessary and very distracting. If you attend a real life class, the teacher does not put on music whilst they are teaching.
