Beautiful painting. Thanks for putting that it took 45 minutes. I find that so useful to have a guide, it should take me twice as long if I want to get close to your results. Makes me want to have a try again, they are stuck in a drawer. Thanks
Your oil pastel pieces really inspire me. I have been in a bit of an art funk for several months, and I really want to sit down with my supplies today and give this a shot.
Beautiful results, Lindsay. I have used the sanded paper for chalky pastels, but not the oil type. This sanded pastel paper is rather pricey where I have seen it. Thank you for all your inspiring and beautiful art.
Absolutely love how this turned out Lindsay! I'm not so confident with pastels but have done a few scribbles with Mungyo soft and oil pastels my children bought me for Mother's day last year. Might see if I can find the courage to try this one.
Thanks Lindsay. Woohoo! Oil pastels! I have a few kinds. Paul Ruben, mungyo and Faber Castell. I'll give this a go. Last year the autumn forest I did was a HUGE disaster. So here we go; let us pray. 😉💜
WoW!! Lindsay, this is incredible!!! I loved the mystical, dreamy look at 4.30 and there were so many spots in the video that changed up the painting!!! So mesmerizing to watch. The finished painting is fabulous!!! I haven’t used my oil pastels in so long. So really have a gift!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! I could watch this over and over!
Thank you for this video! I got oil pastels this year and have struggled to start with them. I am inspired and determined to get the hang of these now. Thank you again😊
Thank you , Lindsay! Because of this tutorial, I bought a small set of oil pastels. It didn't have white or black, but my white art crayon worked great. I didn't want to waste good paper to practice, so I used Strathmore Printmaking paper. It worked great. I am no artist. You are an inspiration for us to keep trying.
Lovely result, I wish more people would use oil pastels, because they are a very good medium to use and paintings have a really lovely glow to them, too often I hear them referred as being inferior and that is definitely not the case. Thank you for sharing your process.
I'm so happy that you did this painting for us, It is beautiful. I can't wait to try it. Your tips are great. I'm also happy that I bought less expensive oil pastels and the Sennelier pastels. I'm 60 and retired. I used oil pastels in high school but obviously that was a long time ago. So now I get to have fun!
Thank you so much for using the oil pastels. I have not picked them up over the summer and now i’m really inspired to try them again! This is truly lovely!
You did such a beautiful job, Lindsay! You captured the mist and the glow of the scene perfectly. And, I love your color choices, too! Thank you so much for another lovely and inspiring lesson!
Just picking up my love of art again after many years away. Have never used pastels so really looking forward to trying out my new supplies. This is really lovely. Thank you.
You are amazing and can make anything out of anything! Wonderful painting. My grandson has started to use oil pastels and is rubbing blisters on his finger so I’m trying to instruct him from 2000 miles away on alternative ways to blend.
Thank you for a free lessons and such wonderful explanations as you went … meant a lot to me cause I am having trouble finding any free lessons this thorough. I understand artists have to make their living with these lessons. I can’t afford them so thank you very much. Much appreciate it.!!!!
Beautiful. Gave my pastels to my daughter to try since I really would rather do watercolor. I'd love to see you do a similar foggy scene in watercolor sometime. Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Lindsay. I have learned so much from you.
I love how this came out, I have been struggling to find good paper for oil pastels. I'll have to try sanded paper as I find they don't blend so nicely on really smooth paper.
UART has great sanded paper! You can find it on Amazon and Blick's site. Just remember that sandpaper (both construction and art kinds🤣) are labeled kind of like steel gauge in that the higher the number the smaller the grit particles and the smoother the paper will be! Hope this helps 😄
Thank you! I've been watching your videos for a while, but this was the first one I actually tried. The paper I used was too smooth so I had a hard time adding the leaves and final branches, but I will try again. It was fun!
I love it! I bought the Paul Rubens pastels from watching your videos (I've never tried oil pastels..ever) I've had them 6 monthes and still havnt touched them🤦♀️ I'm "scared' of them for lack of a better word. And they are precious! I have a huge problem of wanting my supplies to look new all the time. Its dumb! But I do it
Lindsay 😍 this one is one of my favorites! I have been wanting to create my own misty forest. Really enjoyed watching your process and how you bring a piece to life. Your recording schedule must be crazy, you bring us so many great videos each week. Thanks for all you do, I consistently find little gems I can take away in each video and I am appreciative of all your hard work.
This is absolutely beautiful Lindsay!! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try this. It’s been a tough week and how wonderful to have this to look forward to this weekend!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is so lovely Lindsay😍. You give so many useful tips thank you. Excited to try this out with a water colour base as you suggested as I don't have sanded paper or the sennelier for an extra layer
"...it's your world, you can paint it the way you want." How funny that even before this point, I had been thinking that this reminded me a little of a Bob Ross design. 😄
Lindsay I know you are a frugal crafter but I gotta say that nobody should use hardware sandpaper for artwork even for practice. I admire you and believe that you are truly inspirational and so amazing. I only used hardware paper once and it turned green within months! My picture was delightful before the change, I am still a beginner with pastels but in all the years I have created art when I go with budget supplies that are NOT from an art source or intended for permanent results, I have paid for it in dissatisfied customers or art that fell apart much to soon! I don’t believe that you need to buy top of the line every time, but so many times I cut a corner I gotta say it never worked out for me.
Love this Lindsay, my sister gave me some oil pastels in her early Alziemer illness as she no longer can paint... After seeing this tutorial I will definitely have a go ....thankyou love this x
Thank you for this great tutorial. I purchased some PR pastels at your recommendation a while back and haven't used them yet. This will be a good way to break them in. I don't have sanded paper but I received a pad of pastel paper with my set, so I'll probably try that first. Since I'm new to this medium, I will be soaking up all info so can find. I can't wait to give this a whirl. I love all your videos and watch your Sat chats with my morning coffee on Saturdays. When My husband hears you, he says you're listening to that fast talking woman again. LOL
Love this medium. I did the lemons and the pizza awhile back, so will give this ago too! Thanks for continuing to use this technique where I have the supplies I need. This turned out so beautiful! Play Misty for Me would make a good title😊
You did an awesome job with this. You always amaze me. I have yet to use my 24 mungyo set and now I will! You inspire me and am so happy I watched to the end. I’d so love to hang out in your craft room. OMG Art supplies galore!
I have a few of those finger cots from Dollar Tree also! I use them for pastels also but I got them originally for my gel crayons! It was a life saver I love them and my hands aren’t so yucky at work!!
OMG fabulous! My finished picture would look like the first 2 seconds of yours. I don't have an eye for perspective. I have the same problem when moving furniture. Lol
