I love the colouring! My sister bought me a set of Oil pastels recently for my birthday. I've opened the box, but have not yet had the courage to try anything with them! lol

Thank you
Oil pastel handles differently from colored pencils but once you get the hang of it, it is very enjoyable. I think you should give it a try.

I think I'll just get a blank bit of paper and mess around with them first, before attempting to use them on something I've spent hours drawing, and completely destroying it!! lol

You might wanna take a look at Robert Sloan's oil pastel website, lots of info there that may be of help, he's here on DA too.

There are many things I still need to learn, hopefully I'll get better at it as time goes by.

High school pa ko nung huli ako gumamit oil pastel, mumurahin pa lang gamit ko noon. Nakakita ako ng Van Gogh Oil Pastel kaya nag-try ulit ako, at last nakatikim din ako ng medyo magandang klase.

Thank you Lawrie. 
It's been a year now since I've started learning colored pencils, maybe it's time to learn another medium.

The cheap ones are a bit hard but I've found a set of Van Gogh Oil Pastels and they are soft and creamy it's like painting with lipstick. Layering and blending is different from colored pencils though, it took me a while to get used to it. Last time I've used OP was way back in high school.

Ah sounds like they'd be quite the challenge for me then since I tend to be a bit rough with my pencils anyway

Thank you very much.
It's been years since I've used oil pastels, I just bought a set of Van Gogh OP's and it sure made a lot of difference compared with school grade OP's I've used before.

Love the vibrant colors. Do you spray oil pastels with fixative, or are they pretty stable?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you Pam, I think there's a specific type of fixative for oil pastels but I don't know if it will work on different brands though. Unlike oil paints, oil pastels never fully dries out and it remains tacky. It's often recommended to frame it behind glass to prevent dust accumulation. I'm not good with brushes and solvents, I guess this is the closest I can get to oil painting.
