Hi all! Today's video is all about oil pastels! I'm a complete beginner to using oil pastels in my work so this was a great way to experiment and use them with mixed media. I also test out two brands, the higher end Senneliers and the Pentels. I compare them in this video and talk all about their similarities and differences, as well as sharing swatch tests and comparing their opacity, line thickness and smudge test. I hope you find it interesting and helpful! Like I said, I'm a complete beginner but I hope you enjoy watching and do let me know any tips down below! Katie x
