      fun tip: try making something with the oil pastels first and brush over it with ecoline/liquid water colors/waterbased ink! ^^ I love this combination very much myself because the liquid will go between all the lines you drew with the oil pastels!

      I am pretty late for this awsome spending spree. I am happy that you have the Albrecht Durer, I have learn to pronounce it because in Greek they phonetical write it on wikipedia.
      I think that they are the best for the price, with quality paper you can blend them on the wet paper, also you can shave them with an knife to use the shaves as normal watercolor.
      You can use them as the base layer and then add the pencils, you have boths sets now.

    Remember that gouache is a water-soluble medium. If you keep the lid tight, they shouldn't dry out too much, but you can re-activate them with water too. Get a little spray bottle and spritz. They're basically a type of watercolor, so they're never really "permanent" unless you seal them.
    (This is also why a lot of WC artists don't wash their palettes, the paint dried on it can still be used.)

    Neocolor 1 is like a typical crayon, where the Neocolor 2 are water soluble. Definitely go for the Neocolor 2. They are versatile enough that they can be used as a standard crayon, as watercolor, and when you sharpen them put the shavings in a palette so you don't waste all that pigment.

    I'm not the greatest with oil pastels, BUT my tip is from my experience as an artist and a mom. If your tiny artists get into the oil pastels and the walls, desks, tables, etc become the canvas, hair dryer and low set heat tools can be used to warm the pastels and allow them to be wiped off with just a baby wipe once warmed enough.
    Be careful not to burn yourself or the surface.

    If you're interested in oil pastels, Blackbean CMS has a wonderful channel where he works beautifully with the medium.

  • @MrsBarnabas
    @MrsBarnabas 2 роки тому +32

    Hi, Sarah. You certainly did choose the best watercolour pencils! They'll take time to learn about them, but are great fun, and being able to use them both wet and dry is a bonus - though dry, obviously, they aren't the same as regular CD / AD pencils. Where they are they same is that they benefit from layering several layers of colour before wetting. Pressing down to get the intensity leaves marks in the paper which can't be resolved. So in that sense, when using them dry, use them as you would when blending wax / oil based pencil..
    One very good tip I recently learned (having used w/c pencils for many years!) is to add two or three drops of glycerin per 100mls to the water you use, and stir well. It acts by making the colour spread beautifully evenly - even Albrecht Durer and Museum work better this way.
    Please don't take this the wrong way, as this doesn't only apply to you, and isn't meant unkindly. Yes, I enjoyed this fun video, but it doesn't sit well with me to see UA-camrs spend so much. I began to breathe again when you began to evaluate what you were buying.
    To put it in a personal context, I love to experiment with different mediums, and I've done it all my art-life, and been able to offer informed advice to my students as a result. I've never had a problem with buying to my budget until recently, when I began watching UA-cam videos, and suddenly, 'I want' became quite a demon to control., with Amazon being there to go and look, and then click to buy...
    Also, I read with great concern when I see viewers commenting that they've immediately ordered something they've just seen used for the first time. It would help people like them, and me, enormously if we saw the UA-camrs using the products they've bought over future videos, rather than having bought them for a 'haul' and we never see them again. It's one reason that I voted for you to continue to learn to use the acrylics and to share the process with us, when my preference (you may have guessed) is watercolour and watercolour pencils.
    I'm really hoping that you will understand what I'm trying to say. I'd rather see the artist use the product and show us about it than the art haul in all its glory. Though again, I admit that I enjoy the fun when you do these crazy things . You've certainly got enough to show us some real working experience with all the new things - including those things you bought with the keys - that is a definite "Oh, I could use those!" issue with me, and I have to remind myself that I'm not currently doing children's clubs, so don't actually need them!

    • @MrsBarnabas
      @MrsBarnabas 2 роки тому +2

      Oops - typos:
      So in that sense, when using them, use them as you would when blending wax / oil based pencil (ie layer them before wetting them)
      When blending them dry, again, they work as other coloured pencils. A tortillon (paper stump) will work, but, obviously, not mineral spirits, etc.

    • @SarahRenaeClark
      @SarahRenaeClark  2 роки тому +18

      I hear you! I absolutely didn’t want to just throw away money at this video. That’s wasteful. I had already wanted to buy both the watercolor sets, and knew they were quite expensive- and so I decided to think about what else I might want to try in upcoming videos. As I mentioned in the video, the second half was planned out (and it was planned before I began, although not in too much detail) so the only “silly” spending would be small amounts.
      I intend to use all the items I bought, with the exception of a few of the $1-3 items. Everything else was heavily considered about what I could use in future videos.
      The video is only a few minutes, but my shopping spree actually took a few hours because I’m NOT an impulsive buyer. I always think things through… too much at times! 😂

    • @MrsBarnabas
      @MrsBarnabas 2 роки тому +3

      ​@@SarahRenaeClark Thanks for the reply, Sarah. I realised that a lot of thought, time and effort had gone into what seemed like a casual, fun video.
      It's not only because I know how long it took me to assemble the equipment my 2021 students needed - mostly online, as we only have a very small 'art and craft shop' where I live and Covid ruled out going further afield. It took more than two weeks (with other life stuff in between) to do it, as it was my first course here in France.
      It's also because I'm aware of the immense time, effort, equipment and expertise is needed for even the most basic video, and deeply appreciate what is offered to us freely here on UA-cam, whether it's professional level, such as yours, or (what appears to be but isn't) a very basic video from someone with a very small budget and subscriber list.
      Maybe when you do the videos, you can refer back to this video with a 'Do you remember' comment? It won't appease those who've already decided to unsubscribe (probably those who have no real idea of the time, effort and cost of making these video!) , but may ease the unease of those of us who have stayed, in spite of misgivings?
      I've said this kind of thing to others who have made major art hauls, too, so please, be reassured that I'm not singling you out.
      Incidentally, I knew, as soon as you blanked out the last purchase, what it was! It had to be the Albrecht Durer, as you already had the Polychomos! I really am looking forward to seeing what you do with those two wonderful sets, as well as the tiny keys and the little metal wheel shapes.

    I use FC Pitt Artist Pens (brush) in my colouring books - they blend quite well. They're waterproof, India ink based pens (markers) and they don't bleed through most paper. They blend much better than Tombow-type markers as the ink seems to not absorb into the paper as quickly. Bonus - they colour-match with all the rest of the FC line. :) Downside - there are only 60 colours. I wish FC would come out with more!

    as someone who uses oil pastels I actually tend to use both Faber castell, Sennelier, and Pentel. Both of them have their pros and cons, the Faber castell and Sennelier ones are generally of higher quality and have more pigment and less waxiness, making them much more opaque on base and smooth. The cheaper pentel ones have merit to being more waxy and solid, its better to shave those to a point if you need fine details because their cheaper and hold a point a bit better and they take longer to build up if thats needed, though ive noticed more with the cheaper ones that some colors will act different than each other more so than the more expensive ones.
    I do have to add, that I have tried the crayola pastels too and they tend to work less well with other brands than the pentel ones and certain pigments can act really weird in the crayola set.

    For oils pastel, you can blend them using either your finger (good contrôle)but you can also use Therebentine , white spirit or other oil (each have their personnality, more free, but be aware of fume, or you can get high). Différent brands will have different texture, sennelier is really creamy, but expensive for example. You can layer, like oils paint, less oily crayons below and work your way until the creamiest.
    I really enjoy them !

    You could try dissolving the oil pastel off the tip of the marker with some alcohol based solvent (such as metho or even gamsol )on a piece of cotton and wiping the marker tip until it is clean. I can’t promise it will work 100%, but it might, so you still end up with a usable marker rather than a definitely ruined one.

  • @SmillyDonut

    Oil pastel brands (with lightfastness ratings): Sennelier or Caran d'ache. Both will cost you but are great quality. Caran d'ache is mostly opaque overall while the Senneliers have opaque and transparent pastels, but are the smoothest oil pastels you can buy and best used for a painterly effect or as a top layer over harder pastels. The Van Gogh line is a set of firmer oil pastels great for details and underlayers, as well as being more affordable than the previous too.
    (Without lightfastness ratings) Mungyo Gallery has the best quality for the price and is comparable to Caran d'ache in softness. Meanwhile the Paul Rubens are soft and have mixed reviews as well as being inconsistent in quality across colours - possibly due to pigment differences.
    Tip: you can use your coloured pencils for details with your oil pastels.
    Experiment with different papers for the oil pastels to see what you like best. Some people like sanded papers, for example.

    Oil pastels can be used in few different ways.
    I use them in combination with coloured pencils.
    You can blend with oil pastel (usually a lighter coloured one or a clear one), folded paper (kitchen roll is good), a blending stump or your finger.
    Use softer oil pastels for this sort of blending. Sennelier are the softest, but the Paul Rubens are absolutely awesome for blending. I am relearning to blend using PRs, and my right hand. They mostly don't have any light-fastness ratings, so I'll need to do that myself before using them professionally.
    I used to blend with my fingers. But I realised I was left-handed at blending after a life-changing injury to my shoulder and elbow. Despite being right-handed for drawing. 🤷‍♀️
    Now, I use firmer oil pastel (like the faber-castell ones) - and less of it - then use pencils over the top. Like other artists who use chalk pastels with pastel pencils over.
    For work that I intend to sell, I use Van Gogh (Royal Talens) oil pastels because they have reliable lightfast ratings and list the pigments on the pastel. I generally use polychromos or pablo over the top.
    I also use luminance/derwent lightfast alongside, either alone or with polychromos or pablo over. Depends on the picture.
    I may also use the white Paul Rubens over the top, for example to make a sea-spray effect. The white is LF1. 😁
    For work that is for fun or will be scanned only, I can also use cray-pas expressionists, the faber-castell ones you have and pentel as my base layer. I use a whole range of pencils over the top including the less-lightfast polychromos, pablo and lyra, and my black widows.
    I am beginning to use the Paul Rubens for this too. If I'm using them with other oil pastels, I will use the harder/firmer ones underneath and the softer ones on top.
    The nicest oil pastels I have are definitely my Paul Rubens because they blend together so well. 😁
    To fix the oil pastel, I use MTN acrylic matt varnish spray. It works really well - far better than any of the oil pastel fixatives, which all leave the surface tacky.
    The MTN forms a layer over the top of the oil pastel, sealing it in. This is the same as the glassine does, or the glass in a picture frame. Oil pastel never truly dries.
    This covering layer stops dust/hair/etc from sticking to the oil pastel layer, and stops crumbs of oil pastel from falling off the picture onto your surfaces.
    If you have any questions, please ask - I'll try to help!
    [I can talk about my specialist subject for HOURS if necessary! 😁]

    For the watercolor palette you bought, a lot of them come super loose. You can actually take the pans out, and gently bend the clips inwards, and snap the pan back in. Might take a little trial and error to get the right fit, but then they stay pretty secure. Also I second a lot of the love for neocolor II in the comments, I absolutely love mine as well. Oh and ADCArtAttack recently did a video with another water soluble marker, if you really wanted to compare another brand.
