I BOUGHT THE EXPENSIVE Sennelier OIL PASTELS.... lets get Boujee and draw!

- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- So I finally had to try the "most expensive oil pastels" ! I know I got a good deal on these but dang they are expensive! I know you are probably thinking $150 is not expensive! Well for me I haven't spent more than $40 on a big set of oil pastels so this was quite the spending. Plus I'm a frugal qween! Anyways they are definitely worth the purchase if you are able to spend the money! I will definitely be using these conservatively! I gotta made them last!
I really hope you guys liked this review! I had so much fun trying them! If you guys have any ideas on what I should do next let me know! Love y'all! stay creative and don't forget to like and subscribe and click the bell so you know when I post next! :)!
You’re not wasting money. Your level of ability deserves the richness of color and creaminess of Sennelier.
Riiight!! I just found him on tik tok and I’m glad I found him on UA-cam! I’m obsessed with his drawing😍😭
Exactly! Just charge more for the items made with these. Your talent is worth the best!!!
Well said!! 💛💛
I hope he saw this comment because I absolutely agree. His talent is what delicate, beautiful mediums like these, are made for ❤️
Don't you mean saleener? =P (How he mispronounced Sennelier every single time!)
Pro tip, use your regular pastels for an "underpainting" and finish with sennelier.
Word! This is the way to go.
That makes sm sense..Thanks for sharing!!!!
Just guessing but the Sennelier pastels likely have Lightfast rating # 1.
Spending money on luxury clothing items ❌
Spending money on luxury art stuff ✔️
You are my spirit animal!
yes! this is my life too! seriously!
Yeah, I am really thrifty all the time
until I go to an art and craft store....
Fixed it:

This is why I can't go to Blick/Jerry's often.
i love that final drawing 🤩
Oh waw. Weird to see you here. I just gotta say, i love your content and you always inspire me to draw more :) i already recommended you to a bunch of art friends and they all loved you
@@imagine_big9398 loved it ...if I got thru the BS everything was fascinating...less talking ...you're great..
Oh hi pear you rarely comment on other vids love your channel so much it's my comfort place 🥰
@@maryvannucci7181 Yes, he's extremely talented and we know he's gay and dramatic most of the time but just explain how you blend with less performance,we get it but you good with pastels,l prefer colored pencils myself.😁👍🎨
It's so ironic how the fixative is broken
that fixative needs a fixative
@@amelia-sy7he and the fixative ur going to use to fix the fixative needs a fixative too. (I AM CONFUCIUS)
It’s kinda like life....
You might be broken but you still look good on the outside 🤙🏻🌈
SRC and i live by that lmaooo
@@src3360 Oof
"This is Louis Vuitton bubble wrap" 😂😂😂
I about had a conniption behind that one!
Every single artist to ever live: “I should probably clean this, whatever”😂😂
I felt that, my art studio is disgusting but beautiful in its own way
True😊
Me when i get paint on my clothes 🤣
What's concerning is when a makeup artist or food artist says that.
rhyme dela cruz your comment is so underrated.
Wow, what a relief to hear you say you don’t use the expensive supplies as you don’t want to “waste it”. I’m exactly the same. I’ve got beautiful soft pastel paper that cost $71 for ten sheets, and I use cheap sketch book paper because I don’t think I’m good enough yet. I hope I can get over this block someday, because the high quality art supplies get a far superior result, usually.
One thing I have learned and I wish someone had told me earlier on...Use professional grade art supplies because they act differently, and they are more pigmented so a little goes a long way. I now have mountains of student grade or mid range art supplies that I practice new techniques with and now I building my professional grade stash. Invest.
The only way to waste art supplies is to not use them.
How are you doing 2 years later? Are you using pastelmat paper and unison pastels?? Go on, treat yourself
@@jimisi7424 thanks for asking. I go in and out of using the high quality art supplies. I’ve got a very large amount of top level pastels now, and great sanded paper. Also Pastelmat. Now my main issue is getting good reference photos. How are you doing?
First off: love what you did with the Sennelier’s, Bean. Secondly: it’s not uncommon for UA-cam content creators to supply a wishlist on their channels. Then all that’s needed is a P.O. Box for supporters to send supplies to. Patreon is another way to connect with people that want to support your art. Just food for thought. 💡💝
UA-cam algorithm really did me a solid. Your humor is SO GOOD.
so happy for you! What a pleasure watching you open that, it was like christmas!
Totally understand what it's like to feel like you're putting money on paper but you're awesome and art is worth it. Use the butter. What else is there in life.
Beautifully said!
"I don't even wanna use em" LMAOOOO I FELT THAT SKSKSK EVERY TIME I BUY EXPENSIVE MATERIALS
•.s u n n i i.• the james Charles pallette is hardly expensive. It’s actually pretty cheap for the quality. But that’s morphe for you
Honestly,same it’s like somehow worse than the new sketchbook thing
I'm a color pencil and art marker artist but I stumbled across your UA-cam channel and I have tried oil pastels and have almost completed four pieces since I started following your work. I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather but the Bible study a "child shall lead." Not that I consider you a child but you are a young man with a ton of talent. Keep drawing never stop, that's your gift to the world.
They come in two sizes that’s why it looks smaller than expected they have a bigger size for size queens.
They come in 3 sizes, 5 ml, 38 ml and 95 ml...., yep, deffo get the larger ones which work out at the same price as the cheaper brands per ml.
This is by far the most relatable unboxing I have ever watched.
"I'm going to use green, so I don't waste the othere colours" - Promptly uses all the colours. haha ! You are a great artist! Even your doodles aren't a waste!
"I don't even wanna use em" 😂😂
So relatable 😭
I will absolutely buy that drawing to cover those oil pastels. You deserve nice things!
Hope he sees this. One of the most positive & supportive UA-cam comments I’ve seen. He’s a talented guy. He respects the value of things and clearly doesn’t come from money. You’re right - he deserves them for all the people he’s inspired :)
Wish he had a shop
Always buy the best art supplies. Your customers will appreciate that 100+ years from now great, great grandma's old painting still looks as fresh and bright and colorful as the day it was made. Good to spray a finished work since oil pastel never truly dries, fights dust too. Cheap pastels or student grade don't have the same amount of pigment or inferior pigments and lack the archival qualities of professional grade oil pastels. Cheap supplies may have toxic binders such as lead or other heavy metals and the pigments may be fugitive and may even disappear or shift color over time. Use the best materials. You want your art to live on.
SennelIier is pronounced "sen-nell-EEEE-aye" Very French
I absolutely love Sennelier oil pastels. I have the metallic set, and a small set of basic colours. To save them, I use cheaper pastels for the larger base layers and use this to get the "Sennelier effect" later on.. They are so gorgeous!
Buy the 38 ml and 95 ml Sennelier oil pastels, it works out at the same price as the cheaper models. Only the 5 ml ones are expensive.
I love the elegant fancy music in the background 🤣
😂
Green is my fav color this is a personal attack...
Green and blue are the top two favorite colors of colorblind ppl. Google it lol
Same
Me too I love the green
Lol I love that everyone’s prof pic is green
“Imma take this baby poop color 😗” WHEN I TELL YOU A CHOKED EYE--
Oh...that's what he said...I thought I heard "baby blue". The he said "I don't even like green" while I was thinking the whole time it looked yellow to me :D
I don’t like using expensive art supplies because then I’m afraid of “wasting” it. You should be able to create without feeling guilty!
This is me after buying a $15 Acrylic set.
(They don't sell those vrand of oil pastel in my country. Im crying.)
“I don’t even wanna use em” LOL
" bc they're.. *eXpEnSiVe* "
I love the way and how many times he said it
It’s so true tho. I hate buying fancy art materials for that same reason
I can't get over how you do such outrageously gorgeous work using Crayola oil pastels, much less what you're going to do with Sennelier. I have Crayola and I think they're great for inexpensive oil pastels, but what you do with them is pure magic. How do you do that? You're awesome!
You should be getting mad Sponsors. Your work is amazing and you make me spend money watching you. Love your artwork, love your presentations.
Can you draw willow smith, her bald head has been giving me life and I feel like you would do an amazing job drawing her in oil pastel. If you don't listen to her new music I recommend my fav 2 albums by her called Willow and Ardipithecus (hope you like listening to it while you draw😘)
Him: *looks at cool art * "I'm not a big fan of it"
Me, who can't even draw a stickman properly:👁️👄👁️
Galia Del Rio istg if i see one more person say they can’t draw a stick figure i will literally make a youtube video of how to draw a stick figure. It’s not that hard- i was literally drawing stick figures at 4 👁👄👁
@@crazyfish1978 lmao, please do 😳😳 (ofc I know how to draw a stickman, but I honestly don't know how to draw like him, and for me it would be a mayor achievement to do something resembling that one drawing/painting(?) soo yea that's why I say idk how to draw a stickman; my drawings compared to his look like stickman ;-; but I get your frustration too)
I'm a artist too but all you have to do is practice find the style you are most interested in and just roll with the flow with your art.
Artists are their own worst critics that's why
Delirio well, you see, to be able to draw better/be able to draw a stick man you just have to do this thing called ✨practice✨
PSA: if you're interested in buying the Faber Castell soft pastels DO NOT!!! They're rip-offs of the Mungyo pastels! I bought the Mungyo for $12 and I received the Faber Castells for free and they're usually $30! Same exact consistency & colors. Mungyo has 64 colors while Faber Castell has 72 but I promise it's not worth $30.
Thank you for that tip .I was considering Faber Castell soft pastels!
where did you buy mungyo for $12? that's hella cheap i've never seen that prince
Im buying mungyo soon. Thanks for this
owlright Jerry’s Artarama!! They have AMAZING prices!!
I love the Mungyo! I was using Neopastel by Caran d'ache before that. Not a bad brand but the pricing was better on the Mungyo and the quality is a little bit better.
I see how pigmented those Sennelier oil pastels are and I'm not hating it. They looked like they blended beautifully. Then they drew well on top of other colors.
Those are boujee as hell and so expensive I wouldn't buy them. Thanks for testing them out for us. Artist high 5!!
Love your oil pastel tutorials and you crack me up laughing the things you say 😂😂 nice to see someone who also has fun doing their tutorials. I have the sample set of sennelier and you explained them just the way they are and work. Very expensive and your right I use my cheaper pastels and use the sennelier on small projects. Love from the UK 😁 looking forward to more of your oil pastel tutorials 👍
Me yelling at the screen: "Go offffff sis!"
Him: "I'm not a huge fan of it"
Me: *makes the same face as the portrait*
Hahaha haha love it
Your reaction and personality made me happy! Never change!
BRUH I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN MISSING MY ENTIRE LIFE. YOUR ART IS WONDERFUL AND I'm SO JEALOUS AND WOW. WE HAD TO USE OIL PASTELS FOR ART ART AT SCHOOL AND MY GOD I HATED IT. I don't know why I'm shouting. Basically I love everything about your channel
Oooh! I wanna try these! Are they super soft?
furrylittlepeach oh yeah. Soft and creamy I find if you want to layer them without them mixing too much, it’s best to let them dry for about 3 days (if you’re ok with waiting)
they're extremely soft and creamy compared to any other I've ever tried, I can't use them in scetchbooks because they just just smith completely to the other page it's kinda annoying how they just don't seem to dry but the color is so rich and beautiful it's definitely worth it if you love bright colors
you can buy one piece to try out!
Yes but they sell a fixer for layering
They are like butter…or lipstick.
"I don't like to use expensive materials because I feel like I can't fully embrace my artwork, because I feel like I'm wasting money"
Ugghhhh TRUTH bro. I have an IKEA shelf unit literally filled with expensive art supplies, like some weird mustn't-touch-the-valuables kind of museum. And it makes me feel guilty because it's just there wasting away, and at the same time I'd also feel guilty if I did use them because... my skills can't do justice to those expensive items.... It's like a mustn't-touch-the-cursed-valuables collection, come to realise...
Maybe one day I'll feel like maybe just maybe I am worthy of the expensive stuff. And not worry about f*cking things up lol
Don't put the tools on such a pedestal. They're only intimidating if you think of them as valuables.
Do you know that pigments and some materials can expire? Use them before they fall apart! you have already paid the price anyways, you can burn them or do whatever you want!
Or next time buy second hand "expensive " art supplies. Do you play sports? Change mindset of that of an athlete in training. See them as tools that you need to use up for a certain time. At least that's how I do it to be able to create regularly.
I don't understand why you don't like what you created. I LOVE it, as much as I love most of your paintings with Crayola. Painting with Sennelier is not easy, because you need to apply a different pressure on the paper... and yes, it's intimidating to work with them when you think of the price. Been there. Just enjoy them! You're a great artist and I sincerely admire your passionate and fearless style. Greetings from Montreal.
I am fighting myself right now. Ok Stella "say no to Amazon" ..Say no! I must have themmmmmm arrrggghh!
I love the drawing you made! In my opinion it's more waste to let them get dust in a draw, so don't be afraid to use them if you're making your money's worth! Xx
SIs tell me why I was also screaming when you whipped off the cover to reveal the pastels 😂😂😂 Also I love how you call them Selenerrr hahaha!!!! Love you!!!
My name is Rune Madlands. I am an eight year wounded combat veteran of the Royal Marines and a twelve year combat veteran of Norway’s Jaegerkommandoen (Norway’s version of Navy Seals). I have always been an artist and even when at war I drew and painted when I could. I have been looking at your videos on UA-cam and I like them very much. Your artwork is freaky as hell! But that’s what I like about it. Your use of color and form us unique and masterful. I wish I could purchase one of your originals eventually. Keep up your fine artwork. It is amazing! I currently live in Texas after moving here from Oslo, Norway and London. Texas is freaky also but not in a good way. It’s full of Trump loving real estate salesmen wearing cowboy hats and driving Escalades. Your work as I said is freaky in the best way and amazing. I will keep watching your videos. Thank you for your expertise! Rune.
bro you are NOT wasting anything, you’re so good at this medium that you shouldn’t even worry about it like that, i think you should just take advantage of it all and use it all to its full potential 😌
I thought it was pronounced like senneli-aye
It is
It is
You misspelled saleenr
@@LM-js4dn 🤣
Mmhmmm.
This is the first video I've watched of yours, and I immediately fell in love with your personality! Plus your art is so gorgeous and unique! Instant subscriber here. Time to binge your videos!
Same!!
Me three!!
I'm so used to seeing the same cart channels. Not that they are bad but I love this new energy when it comes to art. It's right in your face and I never not laugh.
It’s NOT a waste of money! Your art work is worth it. Your collectors (past, present, future) WANT you to use the BEST materials ya ya ya ya!
This was wonderful to watch : OOOO Seeing someone be energetically excited about upgrading an art supply was really refreshing tbh. And your art is absolutely GORGEOUS.
How about the "1 colour challenge"? That would be nice, you can obviously use different shades of the one colour you're choosing
These are one of the best. It is worth spending. Quality of the material often determines the quality of the work. Beautiful drawing.
use them you deverve it!!!!!i bet many people started liking oil pastels because of your tik tok videos, you´re awsome!!!!!love your style really!!!!
Omg I love it, I want a print in my desk right now
the second I clicked on this video and saw you, I already loved your personality; I vibed with it so well and you are just an incredible artist. I am also an artist but haven't done much art lately and watching how you incorporate color and blend them together with these boujee ass oil pastels was a magical experience; it made me want to make more art centralized on colors and color theory. I'll admit that your caricaturized style isn't like what I would do or what I usually see other people do but it has a great uniqueness to it; keep up this amazingness my dude! I'm new here but expect me to be back on this channel seeing you and your lovely face. I hope to one day own senneliers and bring back working with oil pastel because the only oil pastel set that I've used was my cray-pas from a third grade georgia o'keefe project lmao. sending all my love from one art hoe to another
I love the smell of oil pastels. I don’t know what it is about them. Maybe it’s because they smell like crayons. 🖍 Takes me back. Glad I found your channel.
I just found you, and I love you! This is exactly how I acted when I opened my first box of Sennelier Oil Pastels. They are softer and creamier than Pentel.
My mother wanted me tell you that you are adorable that she ,loves your art work 😄
You shouldn't be approaching it with the concern of its pricing at all. That is how you are holding yourself back. Plus you can offer your paintings for more $$ than your crayola based ones. So yea if you are selling art on the regular, that shouldn't be an issue at all.
Ive heard from alot of professional artist (myself included) that using expensive supplies is always a struggle because in your head you want to use them in ONLY the best works as to not waste. If only we were t our own worst critics
Price of materials matters even when selling your work. Because the average artist, even when they're making sales often, isn't rich. And you have to factor in that cost to the price of your work and unfortunately, higher price equals less opportunity to make sales.
@@calmcuke6865 Not when they price their works properly. If they are selling them for cheap....that is their problem and they are not doing the art world any favors. They are also the reason why everyone wants $500 piece for $50.
To be fair, he also said that they're delicate, and perhaps he's also gotten used to the cheaper supplies because they can take more stress.
Once you own it, it's free. Same as your other art materials
I’m a Sennelier addict , although Caran d Aches Neopastels are a close second. Great painting , excellent review. Love your style.
I use Sennelier fixative but let the paintings harden for a couple of weeks. Then give 3 light sprays letting each coat dry for 24 hours. You’ll be amazed. Sennelier oil pastel pad is another super winner. Enjoyed your review very much.
I also just bought a set of Sennelier - all 250. My darling husband wiped the box with bleach so I could have it ASAP (otherwise we let all mail and packages sit in the front hall for at least three days to decontaminate). And yeah, this was pretty much my reaction, too: SQUEEEEE! I am finding they work excellently for pointillism - intense colour, ability to be accurate about dot placement, wonderful range for each hue. Not so good for colouring in large areas - poof, half the stick is gone! But fortunately, this brand sells individual pastels. Love your art, love your self expression, love your use of colour - your portrait pieces are so powerful! Hope you never stop!!!
I would love to see more tutorials on how to use oil pastels!
gahhhh i LOVE THESE PASTELS! i copped the 24 pack a few months ago.... and I don't use them on their own due to the sheER POWER. they're vital due to the pigmentation, but i use harder pastels like craypas specialist and neopastels which i find creamy but also tackier than sennelier's lack of self control when it comes to marks on the paper. ooof i could go on. the mix of harder and softer oil pastels lets me control the marks and texture a lot more.
The background music added about 25 points to the entertainment value of the unboxing part of this video!!😁
But seriously, your talent is so real!🥰
True
The drawing is stunning! And the colours are really vibrant indeed. I also love it is not fully blended an you can see the strokes. You are extremely talented, young man! I wish you all the success!
YEAA I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE turn it upp🥳🥳
Omg. I’m glad UA-cam recommended this video. I love how excited you were to open expensive materials. I love your humour. I feel like we could hang lol. Anyways, now gonna subscribe and see what other videos you have. PS. Your art is amazing.
Instant oil painting,these oil pastels rock!,awesome painting.👍👍👍👍👍👍❤
I have the bigger size and they came in a wood box. Talk about intimidation! Oh my gosh they are sooooo worth it! First painting sold for $600.00. I will never go back. Enjoyed your humor and LOVE the painting..
You are not only cute but incredibly talented too.
when u got an expensive stuff u cant even use them lmao!!
u gotta have that expensive boujee background music boo!!!
When you said that these pastels were so delicate, yet they felt like you were drawing with lipstick, I understood completely! I likened my experience to drawing with an expensive stick of room temperature butter. Silky smooth vibrant colors that require little effort to use. PS: I absolutely LOVE your impromptu drawing. It's fucking FANTABULOUS!
Happened to stop by your channel. So thankful. You’re a blast. Great tips and such in the comments. Love your drawing! Gorgeous, rich colors (including green!). 🥰
Hey buddy, please do a video on what kind of paper you have used until now for your videos. Really surprised when you took out that Strathmore drawing.
Enjoyed this immensely! I hear artists use less expensive op's then use sennelier as final layers. Could you try that and give us your thoughts?
It is nice that the paper is loose. You dont have to take forever peeling the paper off. You can slip it off to use the side and slip it back on. I’m so happy for you.
expensive or cheap materials, art comes out through the artist's hand!
And I believe this man could rub my colored candles on paper and still blow my mind
I'm really glad that UA-cam's algorithm suggested this video to me tonight. You are so talented -- it was exciting to see this beautiful piece come together. Looking forward to watching more! Question about the fixative -- do you think it's strong enough that if you were keeping your pastel work in a sketchbook, that the sketches wouldn't smear?
lol it's Sennelier not Selenier
If you have any of these roaming around the house that you don't like, I'll give it a home here in Portugal!
I'm obsessed... absolutely LOVE this painting!
It's everything!
You Sir, are crazy TALENTED! ❤
you are so talented. You make it seem effortless. and to be able to let loose and be silly and just be yourself on camera... what a gift! amazing and inspiring and very handsome to boot. Thanks for sharing!
As a French people, I love the way you say "sennelier" 😂 it sound cooler
I'm not a fan of that style of art...
HOWEVER!! That "off the cuff" piece is gorgeous. You need to totally be selling your stuff! Your style is DEFINITELY aided 10 fold by the deep vibrancy of high quality artist level pastels!!
You deserve to be working with it.
After all you can only be as good as the tools you work with. Start collecting 2or3 pro level oils from open stock from places like Jackson Arts based from London or Jerry's ARTARAMA or Dick Blick.
You deserve it
There’s something so satisfying about watching this piece come together
Incredible eyes, young man. Now I see why my attempts with oil pastels was a fail. Damn, I had no idea how to properly use the medium. You’ve got a new subscriber!
Annie, old hippie artist chick.
I just be over here with their competitor mungyo gallery soft oil pastels 👁👄👁
Are they any good?
@@ABIXWEEZY Nowhere near as expensive as the Senns, but take note there are two lines called 'gallery by Mungyo" and you'll want the "Artists' soft oil pastel" as opposed to the regular gallery.
@@ABIXWEEZY Yep, they are great. Not as good as the Senneliers but still really nice. And KMGunn's right. Make sure you get the "Artists' soft oil pastel" version. I love mine.
Sennelier is pronounced Sen-nel-lee-eh (the last is said like the letter A). It’s French. The pastels are expensive because of the higher cost of pigments used in them. As you noticed, they are buttery and rich in color. They will also be more lightfast than less expensive pastels - better for display work. Hope you enjoy them!
You’re so talented! I love Sennelier pastels. I have about 10 which I bought as open stock at Blicks. I’m shocked you bought 72 for $150. Why do I think it would be hundreds. When I first got them and discovered that it was like lipstick it freaked me out. They scared me being so professional and I am so not. Now I am taking a couple of tutorials. Don’t be afraid to use them - that’s nuts. It’s like having beautiful dishes that are too good to eat off of everyday. WHAT?!! Enjoy the best stuff - we are worth it. Your drawing is gorgeous and delicious. BTW - I did use one of the red ones as lipstick- only once.
Can’t believe you got all of that for $150. Also expensive for me but still. Sennelier also makes a larger size oil pastel stick bigger than a cigar.
Happy to meet you.
Love your art! Based on their price, you could use a new box every project. Just price your work accordingly. You are talented enough to justify those costs! Happy creating
What is the music in this one? My nerd ass is like “hmm. Baroque period. Kind of Bach, but not really. Maybe Telemann?”
Your awesome.. I've been watching several of these amazing videos you make.. you have the best personality and now you are talking about the personality but that's Yours and no one else's . You had me laughing and lifted my spirit .. I need to go hit the likes but I watched the neon Crayola pastels and the Billy Holliday SO SO TALENTED YOU ARE . !!! 💕 It oh and the LANDSCAPE... LOVED LOVED LOVED THOSE TWO
Mister BlackBean, I looove, LOVE watching you draw! Your fearlessness with color is simply WONDERFUL.
That 'baby poop color' 🤣 🤣 🤣 That unboxing was great. I love your finished piece too. ❤
Dude that drawing was incredible! Why wouldn't you like it?! I can't draw a damn thang, but you just whipped that beautifulness out like baam!
That teal is possibly my favourite colour too. I have it in watercolour and that pan needs replacing soon. I’m hoping to buy a bunch of these soon, I tried a small set a while ago. Love your enthusiasm and such colourful, characterful faces you paint.
The ONLY UA-cam Channel I have subscribed to with the notifications. I LOVE YOU.
All the textures and colors you use, amazing skill ✨🦋 thank you for sharing
Art heals everything 🌷🌱
I don't know what was expecting but you KILLED THAT WTF!!!! TALENT!!!!
"Boujee is hip-hop slang for something "luxurious in lifestyle yet humble in character," influenced by and often interchanged with the slang bougie." Awesome video,awesome oil pastels.👌👍😊❤
I love Sennelier watercolors, they're so creamy. I would like to try the pastels. This guy is so so talented!
I really enjoy Sennelier also. I started little by little collecting the Sennelier oil sticks because they come in larger sizes and are really smooth just like the oil pastels and oil painting never became easier. You can use your palette knives, brushes or make marks with the sticks and combine both the oil pastels and oil sticks.
