The pastels I used for this video were Sennelier Oil Pastels, both regular and jumbo sized. They're expensive, but I love the quality. Very soft and buttery. I use bristol paper, or MI Tientes pastel paper by Canson. Good luck!

What oil pastels are they and where can I buy them from?

@agigitygoo123 some oil pastels need to be warmed up a bit. That makes them easier to apply and more thick. If it is that way for you already, cool them down so they harden.

@agigitygoo123 don't apply it so hard so you can blend the colors
