How I Varnish Oil Pastel Paintings | Relaxing Art
Рет қаралды 304
3 ай бұрынWonder how to preserve oil pastel works and avoid smudging your finished piece? This week I'm trying Liquitex Matte Varnish on several oil pastel paintings.
It is a non-removable permanent varnish that dries to a flexible, non-tacky, hard surface. In my little experiment, it works well on watercolor paper and Pastelmat paper.

Definitely this is the appropriate way to varnish. I am too lazy and I just spray my works with two, three or four gentle layers of hairspray, which works most of the time, but definitely this is the proper way as you demonstrate it here. Thank you so much for the oil pastellist community.

Thank you for your kind words! There’s still some trial and error as the varnish needs proper temperature and time to cure correctly. I tried to rush the process at one time and it didn’t end well. - Emily

Did you use fixative before applying the Varnish? It's a question, thank you for your video and your answer.

No fixative, varnish directly applied on the painting. Thanks for liking this video!

Do you like oil pastels over soft pastels if so why ?

Oil pastel is a completely different medium. I haven’t worked with soft pastels outside of art school. I feel that oil pastel is easier since there’s no dust to clean.

@@lonecolorstudio ... exactly, and you cannot clean that fine dust that penetrate everywhere, into your computer keyboard, everywhere. The other problem a major one: you cannot fixate a soft pastel, since when you spray it with any kind of fixatives it kills immediately the fine dusty particles on the soft pastel work especially white, yellow all will be destroyed. Oil pastel as demonstrated here excellently by Lone Color Studio can be varnished completely giving a matte or glossy finish whichever you like.
