You’re not wasting money. Your level of ability deserves the richness of color and creaminess of Sennelier.

Spending money on luxury clothing items ❌ Spending money on luxury art stuff ✔️

Pro tip, use your regular pastels for an "underpainting" and finish with sennelier.

i love that final drawing 🤩

"This is Louis Vuitton bubble wrap" 😂😂😂

It's so ironic how the fixative is broken

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.

Every single artist to ever live: “I should probably clean this, whatever”😂😂

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.

KZfaq algorithm really did me a solid. Your humor is SO GOOD.

First off: love what you did with the Sennelier’s, Bean. Secondly: it’s not uncommon for KZfaq 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. 💡💝

This is by far the most relatable unboxing I have ever watched.

I'm a color pencil and art marker artist but I stumbled across your KZfaq 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.

"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 will absolutely buy that drawing to cover those oil pastels. You deserve nice things!

"I don't even wanna use em" LMAOOOO I FELT THAT SKSKSK EVERY TIME I BUY EXPENSIVE MATERIALS

They come in two sizes that’s why it looks smaller than expected they have a bigger size for size queens.

"I don't even wanna use em" 😂😂 So relatable 😭

I love the elegant fancy music in the background 🤣

Green is my fav color this is a personal attack...

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!

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!

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 don’t like using expensive art supplies because then I’m afraid of “wasting” it. You should be able to create without feeling guilty!

You should be getting mad Sponsors. Your work is amazing and you make me spend money watching you. Love your artwork, love your presentations.

This is me after buying a $15 Acrylic set. (They don't sell those vrand of oil pastel in my country. Im crying.)

“Imma take this baby poop color 😗” WHEN I TELL YOU A CHOKED EYE--

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!!

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😘)

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 👍

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

Your reaction and personality made me happy! Never change!

“I don’t even wanna use em” LOL

Him: *looks at cool art * "I'm not a big fan of it" Me, who can't even draw a stickman properly:👁️👄👁️

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

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.

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!!!

Oooh! I wanna try these! Are they super soft?

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*

I am fighting myself right now. Ok Stella "say no to Amazon" ..Say no! I must have themmmmmm arrrggghh!

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.

"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

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.

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 😌

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!

How about the "1 colour challenge"? That would be nice, you can obviously use different shades of the one colour you're choosing

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!

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!

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.

I would love to see more tutorials on how to use oil pastels!

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 KZfaq 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.

These are one of the best. It is worth spending. Quality of the material often determines the quality of the work. Beautiful drawing.

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

Omg I love it, I want a print in my desk right now

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!!!!

There’s something so satisfying about watching this piece come together

My mother wanted me tell you that you are adorable that she ,loves your art work 😄

I thought it was pronounced like senneli-aye

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.

Mister BlackBean, I looove, LOVE watching you draw! Your fearlessness with color is simply WONDERFUL.

Omg. I’m glad KZfaq 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.

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.

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!). 🥰

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!🥰

YEAA I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE turn it upp🥳🥳

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.

I love your art work it’s so pretty. You have actually inspired me to start working with oil pastels. Watching your videos helps to give me an idea of how they work and how to use them. Thank you for posting you amazing art work. I love the amount of color you use, the variation but it all still goes so well together. It just makes me feel like picking up my stuff and drawing.

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!

when u got an expensive stuff u cant even use them lmao!! u gotta have that expensive boujee background music boo!!!

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.

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.

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

You are not only cute but incredibly talented too.

I'm really glad that KZfaq'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?

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!!!

This was fun! I normally don’t watch “unboxings” but I was really curious as to how the quality would be different. Love your excitement! I do hear you about being reluctant to use the more expensive art supplies. I felt the same way the first time I bought Prismacolor pencils, took me a week to be brave enough to start using them. But I really love them now and am not interested in using anything else. I rarely, if ever, play around with oil pastels, but you inspire me! Your work is fabulous!! Thank you!

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?

As a French people, I love the way you say "sennelier" 😂 it sound cooler

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.

This is beautiful! I used to not like styles like this. But then I realized that this is just your way of seeing things. I love it!

lol it's Sennelier not Selenier

I just be over here with their competitor mungyo gallery soft oil pastels 👁👄👁

Thank you for making me smile during a horrible day. Love you! You make miss oil pastels, I will revisit them. Love you, you work, thank you again!!!

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'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

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!

The rough sketch is beautiful and vibrant. It jumps off the page and the colours have such clarity. Love your work.

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!

What is the music in this one? My nerd ass is like “hmm. Baroque period. Kind of Bach, but not really. Maybe Telemann?”

8:17 OMFG i am in love like the way u layered it and then it did that thing with lines like the undershades are showing but not showing like i am in lovee

Instant oil painting,these oil pastels rock!,awesome painting.👍👍👍👍👍👍❤

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.

All the textures and colors you use, amazing skill ✨🦋 thank you for sharing Art heals everything 🌷🌱

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

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

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..

So your skills really help demonstrate the potential of the product .I really love how vibrant these are.I agree they are small and I would certainly fly trough a box

Omg. Your adorableness is only overshadowed by your astonishing talent. Holy moly. Never has an unboxing been so sweet and so rewarding for the beautify that followed. I hope Sennelier will send you a whole bunch of their products as thanks and in honour of your talents. Have you seen their large sticks? They have to send them to you❣️

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.

Thanks for the review! I love your style and use of color. I just adore the piece you did.
