    Absolutely love the first painting, it really does look like an oil painting. Gorgeous sunset overlooking the water, just stunning. It's really nice seeing you play with the different brands, seeing how they work together. Keep up the wonderful work!

      Thanks so much! There's very little difference with these and oil paints at all.

    There's a blender stick that you can get with these to use to thin out the pigment. The technique is called glazing with this particular medium. Also you can take a paint brush to the sticks and use them that way too. I have pigment sticks so I watched a video on more info about these particular brand of sticks last week. Lovely experiment. I love the colors you used. ❤

      Thank you! - yes - I have the R&F, and W&N blender sticks, but didn't use them in this video. I've also tried using a brush - I did a slightly more in depth review in my previous video on these.

    Thank you. Loved the video. I got some oil sticks to try and watching you paint with them showed me what I can expect! Your painting is wonderful and you make it look pretty darn simple. I appreciate you making the video for everyone.

    I love the first one so much… it’s gorgeous! Do you have to change gloves frequently? Or wash them while you’re working so when you use your fingers to blend the darker colours don’t muddy the lighter colours too much?

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  6 місяців тому +2

      Thanks! Unfortunately this was the least enjoyable one! I didn't change gloves at all. The oil is so soft it's easy to wipe most the colour off onto paper towel, though there's still a little contamination, but I'm not fussed about that.

    Oh wow that was great fun, I love 💕 how the each one is so different with the way you laid down the colors. I love the sunset looking one with the mountains. I’m curious about whether these can be used with oil paints to create additional textures. This is a fascinating new medium for me to see how it is applied. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  6 місяців тому +1

      They can definitely be used with oil paints, plus they themselves can be thinned with anything that oil paint can be, and used with a brush.

    Are they really meant to be used like oil pastels? I thought you could have used a brush with some dissolvant? I'm very uneasy with this medium because it looks like a lot of pigment on the paper but since one layer does not dry quickly, it is hard to layer these. It's like oil pastels but twice as creamy.... So brave of you to go all out with them on the first few tries. And the artwork is loverly!

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  21 день тому

      I think so - at least, I've seen ambassadors of R&F use them that way. You definitely can use them with a brush too, but in my opinion you might as well just use oil paint from a tube in that case.

    Quite like results, find the process as you say not suitable for detail works, not a medium I’ll use but, it seems colourful. Thanks

      They will work fine with brushes too, but I wanted them for expressive mark making, primarily.

    Your use of sticks is already incredible, thank you for sharing! I wanted to ask how are you not annoyed by how chunky they are. I wish Sennelier did all colors in small sticks, like the ones they sell in the test pack

    • @helencryer
      @helencryer  6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! I bought them with the intention of not using them for detailed work - I want them for abstract mark making really, but I got sucked into being too detailed.
