    Hello! It's 2020, but I hope this helps, I used to blend with baby oil with my anime drawing back in highschool, around 2015 and after 5 years it's still the same. Nothing changed, no yellowings. I used cheap sketchbooks back then by the way :)

    One thing that could prevent crumbs from smudging areas you want clean is masking fluid. Just paint the areas with it that you do not want any fallout on, let it dry, and start drawing with the oil pastels. Once you are finished with the piece, rub the masking fluid off the paper/canvas or use tweezers to remove it. You can also add a little bit of watercolor paint to the masking fluid in order to see where it has already been applied.

    I came here from your video about old pastels because I have pental 50pc pack, it's 5years old and pretty dry to blend. I used a very liquid coconut oil (I mean this bottle of mine never solidifies) and a softer brush since I didn't have baby oil and hard brush. The oil bled thru my 110gsm paper but it doesn't feel oily. I used colour pencils for some detailing. After following this tut I couldn't believe I made such a beautiful artwork from oil pastel, a medium that I really feared. Thank you so much

    Hello Syndia. Thank you for making this video. Today I just got my Faber-Castelle set of oil pastels and they would not blend and would only rub off of the paper. I had such a terrible time. My husband suggested many tips and one of them was that maybe they were dried out. Your video inspired me to try again and the results are 100× better with the baby oil. I would've given up on oil pastels if it weren't for you and my husband. Thank you.

    • @SyndiaArt
      @SyndiaArt  5 років тому +2

      Yes it was very interesting to see how well it worked! I have a strong feeling that the colors would stay put for many many years. Oil pastels are very durable pigment wise (compared to watercolors for example). I don't think they're too finicky about blending mediums :o) I'll keep using it for sure.

  • @scottm2553
    @scottm2553 3 роки тому +2

    Have you ever tried alcohol? Or a mineral spirit that dries slowly? Also, I think it would be good to prime the paper first before using a solvent so the oils in the pastel doesn't absorb into the paper to leave the pigment. Golden makes a special pastel gesso, but you probably already know that.

    Why don’t the make oil pastels with a pointed tip like crayon so that it’s easier to get into small areas? I just ordered a set and when I got them the first thing I thought was that it would be kinda tough to get into small defined spaces. All I’ve ever used in my artwork are colored pencils, paint brushes, Neocolors, etc, all tools with pointed tips.

    • @SyndiaArt
      @SyndiaArt  2 роки тому

      I would suggest to prep your canvas with multiple layers of gesso to get rid of some of the texture. Canvas has too much texture for oil pastels. You can use baby oil but use only the smallest amount at a time or else your colors will become a slimy mess. Only use the baby oil in areas that are very necessary and just a little bit. Good luck.
