I was super excited when this video started and you had some color on your fingers. I was thinking....Ooooh this is gonna be great!! AND it was. Always love to watch you create.
Thank you for this video it helped a lot❤ I have oil pastels put away for a while because I was afraid to use them and I just took them out to try this 😊
Omg yay !!! That is my favorite thing to hear !!! So glad you found the video helpful !! Enjoy playing !! Im already addicted ! Haha! Btw i have more oil pastel videos coming out in the future so i hope you check those out ! Happy coloring
Maia, I want to thank you for yet another thing: after seeing this video I started using my fingers for colouring, it's messy and wonderful and creative. I wonder sometimes how many people we touch without knowing it, that's why I decided to tell you. Thanks! ❤
@@lunaluna5231 omg LUna !!! Thank you so much for making my night and telling me that !!! Comments like yours are seriously fuel for my engine !! Lol. So happy you’re enjoying coloring with your fingers !! So much fun !! Enjoy my dear ! And happy coloring xoxoxo
This is the set I just ordered and got a box of black and white s extra for my coloring book. I'm relatively new to coloring well with a variety of mediums. I got the artecho black and white set. I hope I did well with that choice. I have the water soluble pearl ❤❤❤❤
@@TerrieJohnson731 the art techo are great and they have a really big color choice but the best oil pastels in terms of quality for doing a large background are the Mungyo oil pastels
😉👌 I bought last week the 72 Mungyo, already having 24 Paul Rubens & some Faber Castel & 8 Sennelier. I m starting to learn how to use them & I do think this medium is very interesting! Not only for coloring books, but in scrap too 😉 Thanks for your interesting video!! This is a medium that only few colorists talk about on UA-cam !!😃🙏🫶🌸🦄🌸
Omg the 72 mungyo is definately an amazing set !!! On my future wishlist for sure !!! Yes i agree a great medium to use in scrapbooking and mixed media as well !! I look forward to trying them in my journals! I have more oil pastel videos for coloring coming out in the future so stay tuned ! Thank you for taking the time to leave me a wonderful comment !! Happy weekend and coloring!
@coloredbymaia6476 not erasers. They use them to shape clay when mqking clay figures. They look like brushes but have a rubber tip instead of a hair tip
@@locoyo386 oh yes I think I know what you mean! I actually just purchased some to use with my masking fluid , i never thought to try them with oil pastels but now that u tood me, ill definitely try that! Thanks 🙏 for the tip !
Hi Stella, yes it can leave brush marks , depending on the brush and how much you use, but its not bothersome to me personally , im not a perfectionist by any means
Oh my goodness! I love your channel. I have a feeling somebody's going to have a lot of completed pages for July. I even use my finger for the Kingart gel sticks. I feel like that works so much better than using any tool. As always, thank you for sharing 🤩
Lol yes i do !! Yay that makes me so happy to hear !!! Love when people vibe with me, haha. Omg genius !!!!! You just gave me a good tip to use gel crayons with my finger !!! Thank you for that haha ! Thank you for all your kind words !
Can't wait for more how to videos on oil pastels! Exciting! As always you create such beautiful pictures. You're an inspiration. Do you swatch your oil pastels?
Yay Sarah !!! So happy to hear that!! I actually have a video coming out soon maybe tuesday or wednesday about how to do a galaxy background oil pastels ! Hope you check it out
Hi Pat !! Omg really ??? Yay welcome to the wonderful world of coloring !!! So happy you found the video helpful !! That totally makes my day ! Happy coloring to you !! Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions !
Hi there !! Oh really ? Yay !! So happy to hear that !! Glad you liked it !! Thank you for taking the time to leave me a wonderful comment ! Happy coloring !!
One of my favorite art supplies!!!!! I do portraits with them. Had them displayed in community galleries. I use paper towels to blend. I ❤️MG brand.!!!!! Love your videos❤️
Hi Neecy !! Oh wow no way !!! Id love to see your work one day you can send me photos on Instagram oh wow blending with paper towels is a great idea for people who dont want to use their finger ! Thank you so much for your kind words it truly makes my day
Great video ❤ this idea is growing on me !! ... all I think of is the mess I am going to make EVERYWHERE 😂😂 .. I love how your backgrounds turn out though and the blends are so smooth !!
I really need to bust my oil pastels out. Will need to get some satin glazing liquid. This is all wonderful and practical advice. Thank you so much for sharing your process! Happy coloring to you my friend!!!!
@@TerrieJohnson731 hello there Terry and welcome to my channel so happy you found me! Hope you enjoy some of my other videos as well. Happy coloring to you!
Hi Maia! Great tutorial. My first colouring page I did with oil pastels, I think they were from Faber Castell, because I had two sets at that time, other one was from Domes. I gave FC one away because I thought pencils were better. I got new more of higher quality from Van Gogh and I tried many times drawing, painting with them, still prefer something else😅. You are so right, practicing is the key 👏💜
@@coloredbymaia6476 They are very budget friendly, and soft. But I find it difficult to use them, they have very strong odor. But there are variety of colours. I used their pencils too, they are also very good for the price. That was back in 2018, so I can’t vouch for now, if anything changed in these products.
Great video. I think my mistake was that I didn't use enough layers of pastel because I have the same set of "Gallery" and it didn't blend well with the Q-tips when I tried it on the page. I'll have to try again. Also, Oliver is amazing with backgrounds!
Great video Maïa thanks !!😊 could you tell me please the name of the book with the purple background (with the perforated paper)? I love the illustrations 😍. Thank you so much❤
Thanks Maia for this great video. I have the oil pastels but I have never used them. I will give it a go. I was wondering if you tried to use the oil pastels on Amazon paper or any other thin paper and did it bleed after you put satin glaze on top. I have RJ Hampson books and was wondering if it would work on them. 💜💙💚💛🧡
Hi Izabella !! Oh yes i have used them on amazon paper but i only add a little bit,i dont use them the same way as i showed in this paper . I use a much smaller amount to blend it out and create a lighter effect , i dont think the technique i used here is gonna be good for amazon paper because it it thin it might crunch the paper
@@veronicadunn565 Hi Veronica, I actually don’t have that set but I do have a different Paul Ruben set. I have a video coming out tomorrow morning. I hope you check it out. But I still think that the GalleryMungyo are the best.
😊I recently bought some king art oil pastels I saw in Walmart can’t wait to play around with them. Also picked up those neons. Per usual thanks for all the tips. When u get some time suggestions on must have inktense pencils or should I buy whole set or the color blocks.
Its called coloreanding life , it’s a book printed in Argentina I left a link to Amazon US in one of my community posts. If you can search my community posts, you should find it there.
why not using blending stump instead? when it get dirty, you can sand the dirty tip off with sandpaper while maintaining its tip... i use color shaper to do blending as well
Hi yes you can definately use a blending stump and lots of people like using that , i like using the blending stump when im in smaller spaces, it works great .
Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to use oil pastels for awhile...this was really helpful. I had a question about the glazing liquid..do you know if it will work with soft pastels? I would like to get away from the toxic fixative spray. Thanks for sharing! 💕
Hi Rachel !!! Oh yes !! Indeed it does, i use it with soft pastels all the time, i actually made a video titled “ how i fix soft pastels” something like that, i hope you check it out
@@veronicadunn565 as many Mungyo gallery as you can get ! Make sure it’s the artist grade and not the student grade. I actually have a video coming out at the end of the month that we’ll discuss all my fever and art supplies for the year 2024 so I will explain more in that video but yeah, those are the best.
Where and when did you get your Mungyo Aquarelle Pearl Oil Pastels? I bought one from Amazon on Prime Day and they don't look like yours and were an absolute mess inside.
Oh no seriously????? So bummed to hear that !!! Hope you can return them!! I got mine in the beginning of June, on Amazon US. Mine are the Pearl colors. They do break easily and are very creamy and soft, i even broke one already .
Thank you so much for the video, you convinced me to try oíl pastel 😅 i have 2 questions is there a glazing liquid with matt finish (not satin)? And you said you can layer oíl pastels but when you can do it, before or after you place the glazing liquid? Thank you again for your video i love it!
Im not sure if there is another glazing liquid but you can layer both before the satin glazing or after! I have layered and blended before fixing and ive also added stuff after fixing and just make sure that you fix it again after the final layer .
Hi Deb, i dont think they are non toxic at all !! Maybe coating your finger with some coconut oil might help to limit toxic contact ! Ill have to try that and report back !! Most art supplies are toxic so we do our best !!
@@deb.e.mixedmedia oh of course my dear! I didn’t think that at all! I think all art supply are pretty toxic, but i try my best to use alternatives when i can, its actually a great question that you had! Xoxox happy coloring
Thanks for this, Maia! I need all the help I can get when it comes to using the oil pastels I bought. :) Question for you - what book were you working in when you did the background around the snowglobe-type thing? It looks like my kind of book! :) Thanks!
Hi Connie !! Its called Coloreanding life i think i have a flip through on my channel. From what i understand they are only sold in central and south america, i got mine on book depository at the time,i really miss book depository it was so much easier to get books there !!! So sad.but im counting on you to do some good research im sure you will find it !! Xo
@@coloredbymaia6476 Thanks, Maia!! I really miss Book Depository, too. :( I found a copy of Coloreanding Life on Amazon US from a 3rd party seller in Venezuela for a good price so I should be getting it soon!! :)
Hi Pauline, I find that if I don’t fix it, it will arrive on the other pages of the coloring book and get very messy and mess up the other on colored pages of the coloring book so I do believe that they need to be fixed these pages

You can also use clay shapers to extend the oil pastels to those edge lines and to blend as well

Yes definately use more product if you’re using a Q tip, with your finger you can use less product, but with q tip you need even more
