Tips and Tricks~How to Draw mountains with Oil Pastel

Welcome to tips and tricks number 2!

Here I will demonstrate and show you how to draw snow covered mountains in color with oil pastels in a bob ross like style. It has a very similar effect of having a breaking like texture similar in his paintings but with oil pastels. This is a very simple technique to pull off and takes no time whatsoever to do.

All you need to do this drawing is some black paper, oil pastels and blending stumps

The black paper is by Strathmore and it is called artagain. It is 12 by 18 inch paper

the oil pastel brand that I use is sennelier

The music in this video was done by a friend of mine. His youtube channel name is 007Regent.

ive watched several art videos, but i found that this video took it slow enough that a person could follow along with it while doing the work.at the same time. i bought the kids portfolio brand oil pastels(water soluble>new) and they blend well. the length of this video was also a plus. it was a whole lesson in itself.. thanks tyler

@xxbigkisses Thanks for the feedback! I plan to make more lengthy videos like this in the future. They prove to be quite popular and helpful to people. If you enjoy using oil pastels, just wait until you get some higher end ones. They are much more fun to use and the quality is so much better as well.

i got faber castell oil pastel. it wont blend! that shit's a ripped off == ooh the life of poor high school student

[TylersArtShack]

@aigoo13579 I didn't even know faber castell made them. I just looked up the prices of them and I can tell they are crap just from that lol. I use very high quality oil pastels. They cost about 3 dollars each! You get what you pay for though :)

That is a very helpful video. thank you. I also am a fan of Bob Ross but I don't have the room for oil painting but I like the idea of using your technique to produce the kind of mountains he does. Could you use watercolors to create a black background for your mountains? Would this allow the oil pastels to break as you used them giving the coarseness like real rock?

Could you do a series on doing lakes and shore lines?

[TylersArtShack]

@donectas I honestly do not know if using water color will work or not. I have never tried it. I dont see why it would not work. And yes, I can do tutorials on lakes and shore lines. I do not know when I will be able to get around to it but that is something I have been wanting to do.

@TylersArtShack I see you often using oil pastels, so are they really worth it? I have always wanted to do something in color, but I never really dwelled in color...

@badbad123wee . Hi! I've been a pastels artist for many years now. I'd like to help you with this. Sennelier are the best pastels in the market. They are a bit battered but you can also try Caran D'Ache Neopastels, Cray-Pas Specialist or Holbein. Try the artists quality for better results. Oil pastels are not easy and you will avoid a lot of headaches. What I'm doing is -as you do with dry soft pastels - I use first the harder and in the final steps I use the softer- Sennelier-.So, good luck.
