    But in all serious this was very helpful. I’ve been an artist for a long time but have never used oil pastels until recently. This video really gave some helpful tips about blending and colouring

    I still use my oil pastel like a crayon. I know if the pastel was made with good oil in it, and has not dried out, then I can smudge with finger, tissue or towel. Also, with Q-tip or brush dip in oil, I use linseed oil, which also blends and give a more painting effect. But, I like the advice of the rule of 3s, thank you.

    PS. I agree about the black... Other dark colors are better, when I first started with oil pastels I used them like I was coloring in a coloring book too. But it is REALLY better to dab them on so you can mix other colors in with it. Same goes for regular pastels. You now have a new subscriber Thanks again
