Thank you for this video. Do you have any tips to seal my oil pastel art? Since it never fully dries. I have some work that I just can’t let go of! And don’t really want to out it behind glass ..
Put* it
Some thoughts from our creative community...Kellee does not seal her oil pastels.
"I’ve always been told oil pastels never really dry and belong behind glass so your work doesn’t smear. That said- another artist recommended these and said they do dry for her and haven’t smeared pauldemarrais.com/store.html"
and
"Look into SpectraFix. Read the description and contact them if you have questions. And try on a sample first. I have used it on different work but I don’t have oil pastels."
I do full paintings in oil sticks. Surprised more people don't. I use them all.
They're beautiful!
@gusmarrero do you use a spray-on varnish on your oil stick paintings? Have you ever had any luck with paint/brush on varnishes, like Gamvar?
@@susiesilva4181 I’ve never used varnish, I use at least 3 brands and some allow for some medium, but is rare and not needed. Since it dries and it’s oil, I would imagine after 1-2 weeks you can varnish. No need to wait months.
@@gusmarrero That is an accident waiting to happen. Although the paint feels dry to the touch, oil takes years to really dry. And it needs oxigen to do that. If you seal of the oil from the air it wil stay in flux for ever. Most paintings can be varnished with retouching varnish after 6 months and when not applied to0 thickly, you can varnish your painting for real after a year. I think that oil sticks have components that dry the paint quicker then that, but you should really read up on that.
And this is in general...
Please don't use your fingers to paint. Unless you are very aware what pigments are in the paint you are using and if they are safe. A lot of (oil)paints have toxic pigments like heavy metals in them (Cadmiums, Kobalts to name a few) and they will be absorbed through the skin and build up in your body. Not healthy one bit. Dangerous even. So enjoy the heck out of painting, but be aware of what you are doing.
@@Zoomfreaky I agree with you that comment was from eight months ago. I probably would wait at least six months now although oil sticks do dry fast due to wax and I’ve never had to varnish oil sticks or any oil painting.
Thank you for sharing. I’m definitely going to try using these.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching, we can't wait to see what you create!
That was very helpful! Especially the bits about drying time
Glad it was helpful! 💞😍
Thank you Kellee. Ive used the R and F paint sticks with oils and loved them, but they were super soft especially in the heat. I'm definately going to try some of the shiva sticks in some of those lusious colours.
Wonderful!
Am inspired to try oil sticks. Thank you!
Please do! We hope you love it 😊👏💞
thank you, I've been trying to understand this for a while!!
That's wonderful! Glad it was helpful!
I have had some shiva sticks from my fabric art days….haven’t used them in current paper and paint life. Excited to see you demo. Off to try them!!
Wonderful! Let us know what you think, you can always share what you create on our Instagram @colorcrushcreative 🤗😊
Very helpful, I do like the second painting better.
Thank you!
This was helpful to me. I didn't realize that oil sticks dried. I've been using oil pastels, and really like the feel of them as I make marks, I don't like the fact that they never dry and have to be framed under glass. I may bite the bullet and spring for a set of oil sticks. Thanks Kellee!
Oh fun! Let us know how you like them! 🤗👏 We highly recommend giving them a try.
I also started using Sennelier oilsticks a while ago for the very same reason as you. Making marks with oil pastels or other waxy/oily non-drying things on canvas just didn't sit well with me, as the paint you might paint over it peels right off.
Exactly! It's such a fun different tool to use for marks 😊 Thank you for watching!
Two questions.. Can you use them over dry oil paint. And shouldn't you seal them with spray paint
Thank you so much
Yes, absolutely! You can use them over just about anything but it's more difficult to put mediums over them, and you can seal with a fixative spray, I would recommend Sennelier Fixative. We do have a course dedicate to oil pastels that is very immersive if you're exploring oil pastels - The Magic of Oil Pastels www.colorcrushcreative.com/magic
What do you use to scratch/scrape?
It's a pencil! It has a great tip to it that helps scrape through where you want
Would you suggest oil sticks for painting a wall ?? i want to draw my wall in my bedroom
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.
So as long as you take this into account we think doing this on your walls can work! Have a blast!
All pastels, oil pastels or soft pastels, need to be framed under glass. Yes, oil pastels are affected by heat, but I think soft pastels are affected by direct sun. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a beginner, so I'm interested in the differences.
You can pai t oil sticks over acrylic? Won't it flake off over time?
You can! Just need to cover with glass to prevent touching and breaking it up.

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.
@@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. 😇🥰
Have you figured out storage for them?
I put them back in their containers or in the video I just am storing them in old yogurt jars ❣️
Would you write down the names of the three that you showed.
They are listed in the descriptor above.
Sennelier, Jack Richeson and R&F.
