  • Is there a special paper for the oil pastels your using?

  • @ThePeppermintpretty Oil pastels work well on many types of paper, especially paper that is thick and textured. This will allow you to lay down more layers of the oil pastel. Pastel paper, watercolor paper, and canvas are great options. Also, using colored paper with oil pastels often produces dynamic results!

  • Mine won't smudge, It's from Walmart the 12 pack soft pastels. What brand is really good with smudging? I also got a Hobby Lobby near me. I really need an reply, And I want to know where to get those jumbo oil pastels?

  • @ThePeppermintpretty Hi there! This video shows techniques for using oil pastels, not soft or chalk pastels. Hobby Lobby sells Cray-Pas oil pastels in smaller sized sticks. To find the jumbo “Chubby” sized Cray-Pas oil pastels, try Blick Art Materials or Amazon.com. Cray-Pas works great for rubbing, blending, and scratch art.

  • Can you seal these to keep them from smudging?

  • @MrsMom100 Oil pastels don't generally need a fixative if the artwork is displayed in a frame under glass or in a case. If you want to use a fixative, there are some precautions you should take:

    1. Make a small TEST sample with the fixative. Don't apply directly onto your artwork as a test. The fixative could damage your original work

    2. Use in a well-ventilated area. If you are creating oil pastel artwork with kids, always do this with adult supervision.

  • @SakuraColorProducts Thanks so much!

  • @PrettyPolly65 Cray-pas oil pastels are meant to be used directly from the stick and not melted. Sakura invented oil pastels in 1924 and have three different grade levels available, all with bright, vivid colors: Jr. Artist for kids, Expressionist for students and Specialist for artists. The colors are all tested individually to blend well with all the other colors. Cray-pas are well known and favorite brand with teachers, we’re sorry you are dissatisfied.

  • Cray-pas is the most awful brand I'v ever touched, I gave them to my little sister They didn't smudge when warmed, and they felt like big crayons, I like Van Gogh, they blend and glow when you put them next to a lightsource.

  • @faeriechild4ever now the smell!! thts what first got me!
