Karen, is there a link to that lotion to protect the hands? I’m having trouble finding it.
@@ValleyMermaid We got oors from Amazon we are in Scotland U.K.
Thank you, @@LouisaSharp! I’ve never seen this or heard of it before. Thanks again!!
What is the name of the lotion?

White oil pastels comes in 2 forms, ones that's opaque which can layer on top, then it also comes in transparent white, which i think its better for bleeding. I learned that from buying the wrong one before.
Also, you can use watercolour on top of oil pastels, by using it as a resist, makes great texture 😊
Thanks for the video, looking forward to future downloads 😊
Thank you for all of the tips!
It was Picasso, Van Gogh would have had to come back to life to request pastels 😅. Don’t be precious, use your Ferrari pastels! Great comparison. Keep creating 💙💜💛
Thank you Ebony!!!
I love your product review videos; I value your opinion. But…. feel free to not play music in the background. To be honest, I find it very annoying and it makes it hard to listen for a long period of time. Sorry…
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Karen. I love working with chalk pastels. I have a wooden box of oil pastels it was a present, I have not used them. I hope to try them soon. I have used toothed water colour and pastel paper with the chalks. Have fun playing. They are embossing tools they are used in Parching . Embossing oan Parchment I also love parching. They are good for shaping flowers etc on your paper crafting and other crafts.
Thank you!!!! Thank you for the tips! ☺️
Sennelier is like using lipstick…sooo soft and so it wont last long because it goes on like butter and you will be replacing your individual sticks frequently at a high cost. But they are gorgeous.
Totally!!
I bought the most sorry brand, oil pastels, ever, (impulse buy and no patients), Master’s Touch, and used them for the first time in the gnomes lesson you and Lucy did, (I’m still working on it). They were so hard to blend. I had Mineral Spirits somewhere, I wanted to use on them but I couldn’t find it. So, I used a tiny bit of my odorless turpentine on a paint brush and blended them with that it was like painting!!! It blended so beautifully and I LOVED the feel of working this medium like paints but with that glow effect you get with the oil pastels! And it completely changed the quality look of them. They went from looking like cheap crayons to beautiful oils, imho. I really am in love with this medium now and would like some of those Senneliers!
Thanks Karen, for bringing these to Awesome Art School! ❤❤❤
That is incredible! Such a smart thing to do! So glad you enjoyed that lesson!
I love oil pastels. I love the way they feel when you apply and blend them. I’ve had great luck layering them over acrylic.
Yay! That is great!!!
Love your reviews always. I have never used these and always wondered if I would like them. I may give it a try!! Thank you💕💕
You are so welcome! :)
Thanks that was so helpful. Your silicon tools would probably be great on a gel plate for mark making I may have to get some.
Glad it was helpful! And yes! Recommend them for sure!
I have played with oil pastels and watercolor where I put the oil pastels down first and it created an intriguing pattern, kinda like using masking fluid except it stays put! Try it!
Very cool! Will have to try that out!
Love this idea, thanks!
My fav everyday oil pastels are Mungyo Gallery Oil Pastels.
YAY! I am looking forward to trying them out!
Love this!!! Your nails are pretty❤
Thank you so much!!
I saw a faber castell man dragging reflection down into the water of his painting with soft pastels and I was like oh wow. It was beautiful. Cant think of his name older gentlemen British accent. Bet you could do the dragging thing with oil pastels also to some degree and also use the tool for refining edges and really tight places. I enjoyed this. I always put the oil pastels back up and say I dont like this but I dont think I've given them their proper chance.
Definitely give them another chance!
Blend with a soft cloth, chamois, or use low odor mineral spirits and paint brush. The white Hobines - since you have them. Try laying them down first and then blending colors over top. It will just be lighter shades, but at least you can use them up.
Thanks for the tips!
Yea Mungyo… those are the ones I have been using as accents in some mixed media projects lately. They make really great wispy clouds.
They are definitely wispy!
Should try Paul Rueben’s they compare to sennellier I’ve heard. Maybe not quite as soft but superior quality for price, and sennelier makes a fixative spray that artist rave about, since normally oil pastels never dry.
Adding to the list!
I like the Paul Rueben’s a lot!
Excellent video Karen. Thanks for sharing💖💖
You are so welcome ☺️
Ok this has helped so much although I have played with oil pastels and I love them it’s so fun.
Yay! So glad! Thanks for watching!
I like crayola as much as any of these. I use them by usinf a dry wet wipe. I get the color off and then place it where abd how I want.
Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks so much for the fun video! I am going to get some oil pastels for using with encaustics… along with pan pastels… woohoooooooooooo!!! (While my wallet is crying) 😂😂😂
Sounds great! Enjoy them :)
So excited to watch the video. I've only gotten to the gloves in a bottle part. I'm surprised by this. We give these to small children in elementary school, and they sure aren't wearing gloves. Um, should they be? My daughter uses my Mungyo's all the time, and I really cannot remember it saying we needed gloves. I don't have the box anymore though.
Definitely do a little research before use, especially with kiddos! I am learning along with everyone!
Great video Karen have a box for over a year that I've been looking at instead of looking into.. going to crank it open and play 😂
HOORAY! Have fun with them and I'll see you next week for more pastel fun!
Cant wait for you to do soft pastels too
Oh yes! Looking forward to that!
Try blending with odorless mineral spirits (OMS)
never mind lol
There oils you can use for the ones that feel dry; it does a great job
Will do more research! Thank you!
Great video. I'm ashamed to say that I bought 2 sets of Sennelier oil pastels a few years ago (Portrait and Landscape) and have never used them, except to swatch. They were not so expensive then, hah. Anyway, time to get them out and let them work their magic :)
Don't be ashamed! We all have supplies we haven't reached for! Looking forward to continuing to learn with everyone!
The Faber-Castell are one of the worst oil pastels out there! 😅 When I saw u got those, I was like, oh-oh.... I wanna see her reaction! 😂😂😂😂
Haha here to take one for the team! I really enjoyed testing everything out!
I agree, could not believe how horrible they were!!!
@@KarenCampbellArtist 😆😆😆
Stylus pointed tool
👍
A cheaper brand with similar results to sennelier is the rembrants hiya oil pastels , have seen some awesome testing & results with them.
Great suggestion! Thank you!
So will you be using these in a project?
Yes! Next Wednesday!
It’s the fox I show in the beginning
Can't wait Karen!
Umm Karen Van Gogh died in the 1800s lol
Like I said! I had to google!! 😂
I got into oil pastels for a bit last year. I got a nicer set of Paul Reubens ones for Xmas but haven’t had time to break them in this year.
Just so you know, Cray Pas are Japanese, not French. So you actually pronounce the s in Pas. The Japanese like to abbreviate things so they are literally “crayon-pastels”= cray pas. 😂
(Posca pens are Japanese too. They are an abbreviation of “poster colors”…posutaa kala.)
Thank you for letting me know!
Interesting explanation…..I love how words are formed from different languages and their meanings, etc 🤗
I'm excited to see this. I just got a new set of oil pastels. I've learned from watching various artists, but I'm super happy to see your spin on it!
Wonderful! Thank you for joining in on this journey!
Dude. Totally engaged til the end. I did that-had paper beside me to clean my blender, and also used qtips. I have several kinds like you do-even the senneliers, but I love the water soluble ones better-like Kingart brand and silky crayons. Totally fun to blend with water and a brush!
Love it!!!
Thank for them demo. I heard that the mungyo and the Hobby Lobby brand, Master’s Touch, are the same
Interesting! Will have to do some research!
this is wonderful ❤❤❤
So glad you enjoyed it!!!
Tools for Mark making on gelli plates or directly wet paint
Thank you!
Thanks, Karen!
Thank YOU!
So much fun, as usual Karen! Thanks for the great video and the laughs. I stayed till the end by the way.😂💜💜💜
You're the best! Thank you!!!
Great video!! You can take all those silicone tools, pull out your gel press plates and have a blast! No wasted money after all!
Great idea!!
Hi Karen loved the tester on oil pastels
The silicone tools are great Mark making tools in wet paint and gelli printing😊
Thank you!!!
Not boring at all. I’ve never tried these also but have been very curious. Thanks
Thanks for watching! Looking forward to continuing this series!
Great video I have a cheap set did not know how to use them this was very helpful thank you 😀 😊❤
Yay! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

It is a journey! Thank you!
Looking forward to this. Thanks Karen.
