Thank you so much 😀

Thank you so much!

Thank you!! It is a joy!

lol... never too late!! Thanks for that! So glad you are enjoying the grids- we love them too!

Awesome, thank you!

You are welcome!! 😍

Glad you think so!

We do too!!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for letting us know!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Be gentle!! Also be aware when you choose your paper that it needs to be thick enough for the process!

That is awesome!

Thank you so much!

Yes it is!!🤗

We all agree that we should use what we have on hand if funds are tight or otherwise engaged. When the time is right you can then purchase better quality- keeping it simple with just three primary colors - really all you need! With White and Black of course! The quality and deep pigments as you point out will give you a better lasting and quality piece of art. But we all need to practice and play first!!

That is so good to hear, Thank you!!

Thanks so much Janet!

Thank you !!

Thank you! Cheers!

Oh Thank you so much!!😍

Thank you for that!!

How kind!! Thank you!

Here are some thoughts and legalities to consider. Found at this website- www.owe.com/resources/legalities/5-some-questions-about-fair-use/#:~:text=the%20collage%20does%20not%20feature,edition%20of%20fine%20art%20prints "Collage is a time-honored art form that utilizes pre-existing materials, including artwork and photographs. Often the materials will be copyrighted. So your unauthorized use of those materials would be copyright infringement unless your collage qualifies as fair use. Unfortunately, there is no legal rule on whether collage as a category would be fair use. It will depend in each case on an evaluation of the four fair use factors with respect to the particular collage." "To summarize, collages that have more of the following characteristics are more likely to qualify as fair use: the collage incorporates many different materials from many different sources the materials are juxtaposed or arranged in ways that create new visual and conceptual effects, the more different from the effect of the original materials, the better the collage does not feature a copyrighted work as the central focus or dominant image only portions of copyrighted materials are used, rather than the entire image the collage is a one-of-a-kind piece of fine art, or published in a limited edition of fine art prints" "One final note: in addition to copyright, collage artists should also be aware of potential trademark rights that might be associated with their raw materials. Trademarks are brand names or other symbols that represent the commercial source of products or services. Sometimes visual images can be trademarks, such as Mickey Mouse or the Marlboro cowboys. If you use these in your collages, there may be some risk of trademark infringement. However, trademark law also has exceptions for non-competitive uses. While the analysis is not technically the same, generally it is similar to the copyright concept of fair use. Such uses are the most safe when they are the most transformative, and unlikely to compete with the trademark owner’s market." Thank you for bringing this subject up- wouldn't want to infringe on others.

Ok Karen

Yesss!

Oil sticks and oil pastels are both portable art mediums that come in stick form and have many similar qualities. However, they have some key differences, including: Oil pastels Contain pigment, wax, and a non-drying oil, and have a waxy or crayon-like consistency. They can be used on a variety of surfaces without preparation, including wood, paper, canvas, and metal. Oil pastels are malleable and don't dry completely, so layers need to be set with a fixative. They also work well with turpentine and linseed oil to create blending effects. Oil sticks Contain pigment, a drying oil, and a small amount of wax, and are softer than oil pastels. They can be used as a drawing tool to apply color directly to a surface, or for resist techniques. Oil sticks dry completely over time, similar to oil paints, with marks becoming touch dry first and then drying completely over several months. Exposed surfaces of oil sticks will develop a skin, but this can be slowed down by wrapping the sticks in plastic wrap and storing them in an airtight container.

Love it!

So as long as you take this into account we think doing this on your walls can work! Have a blast!

OK never mind - you showed us!

@@colorcrushcreative After applying linseed oil or thinner over oil pastel, will you apply fixative directly? How long should I wait for the linseed oil to dry before varnishing it?

@@colorcrushcreative Thanks for answering me. 😇🥰

@@aideshellstrom9155 In case it wasn't said here... 1-2 weeks should be sufficient drying time, a consensus from various artists' comments.
