If you want to learn more techniques and process, I would highly recommend the book ' Drawing and Painting, Materials and Techniques for Contemporary Artist. It goes through a range of techniques and talks you though the process. I have put the link below.

For anybody who thinks oil pastels look juvenile. I've literally seen fantastic artwork done with Crayola products.

Oil pastels are so convenient, little setup, versatile , and less mess. Wish I had discovered them before investing so much into materials for other mediums.

I’ve just started playing with some oil pastels after someone gave me a package of them. Perfect timing to come across this video! Looking forward to having some fun with them!

Love this! Thank you for validating oil pastels! They are one of my favorite mediums and often get dismissed as a legitimate fine art medium. Will share this video with my students.

That last technique was particularly interesting as a way to achieve fine lines and marks.
Thanks for sharing.

I've been on my art journey with oil pastels since 2020 and somehow I didn't come across this video while I was searching for oil pastels tutorial. I also didn't know lots of ppl be looking at oil pastels as immature art tools or what... Then again, I shouldn't be surprised since ppl view coloured pencils like that as well. I guess I've been working with double the juvenile tools all these years. XD

I love doing my arts with both coloured pencils and oil pastels. Everyone should try it out! Thank you for sharing these techniques!

Very cool and inspirational. I'm going to experiment with baby oil, oil pastels and oil based colored pencils today. It is a messy medium though. I was leaving black marks wherever I walked and realized I had a piece of black crayon stuck on my shoe😂

Thank you so much Tom, it’s always really really helpful and useful to watch you create these patterns and create with oil pastels too. I really really love ❤️ the painting at the end, it’s stunning too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

I like oil pastels and the way they smell as well- for me is a good memory there. The softness of texture and colour makes them a total joy to behold.

I use oil pastels a lot in my abstract art. Great ideas for new ways to use them here.....thanks, Tom!

Just started using them and love them. Liked a couple of these techniques and can't wait to try them out.

Super helpful - my kids loved it too.

At first, oil pastels are hard to handle, but with experience it becomes a favorite medium!
