This is such a good idea! Way more environmentally friendly than buying new ones when they become nubs. Or making some unique colors. Love it!

It’s dope to see that you’re reusing/repurposing your pastels.

You're actually on to something really ingenious Blackbean, nothing like the power of re-purposing! You've inspired me to revamp my crusty oil pastels lol. Beautiful drawing btw💕!

You are so creative and also eco- friendly by recycling your old pastels. Can I mention how much I love the painting on the wall behind you in first part of the video?!😍Also love the drawing you did at the end as well.👍🏾❤

I loved the colors that were result of your mixes and the final art is really cool as well.

Don’t worry about being taken down for showing others how to repurpose! This is an encouraged practice :) always great to reduce and reuse in different ways. This particular work you’ve done is my fave by far.

I'd love to see a tarot deck with your art, it'd be so rad 💛

I love this color story. If you ever decide to give away the extra, count me in lol! Love your channel and your style. And I really liked this piece.

Bro your content actually makes me feel so happy! Never stop uploading :)

Im glad to see you putting old pastels to good use!

You can add a bit of coconut oil to it when melting if you would like the pastel be softer. :)

This is really cool. I loved the first colour and the pink, but really, they all looked good. It would be cool to see if you can add things to any lower quality pastels you've tried to improve them.

Loved it from start to finish! That blue-green's my favorite, too🤩

Next time sprinkle a Lil coconut oil or water in the pot with the pastels to see how it works with the consistency of the way the pastel comes out. Or maybe soak some of the old one in a Lil oil first but that sounds a lot like work.

I love your sense of humor and personality! 🙂

Lipstick mold required ... oh .. or one of those silicone ice cube trays that give you ice that you can drop in a pop bottle.

LOVE your artwork, style, and your HUMOR

i love your personality, i can tell you definitely live by the philosophy that "if youre not having fun youre not doing it right"

I also think of a way to reuse my materials that are just laying around. I just can't seem to throw them away knowing all the possibilities I can make with them 🤣🤣 Love the vid❤️

This was so satisfying to watch! Do fluorescent pastels exist? Would love to see you create some super trippy art with fluorescent colours!

I show up early and get dragged for not brushing my hair, LOL. I love the way you use color, it’s badass!

I love the final piece! Fun project and kind of timely. I've been looking at different tutorials for making oil pastels recently.

I do something similar. I collect all the left over pastels and nubs and reuse them to make new ones. That way I dont have to run out every time and buy new sets and clean up after myself

Never been this early. 23 seconds. Can’t wait to watch!

You are one of the people who inspired me to do oil pastels. Tysmmm.

boyyyyyy i could’ve sworn you meant you came out with a brand 😭😭 i was so proud

The color palette of the resulting colors is really pretty!

Imma try this! I have old oil pastels and interested on making new artworks in the future, recycling will do the work for me, will experiment for more saturated and neutrals though. You made it so fun, Chris! Love the artwork!

I hope you do more of this own colour making. The final art piece looked so subtle with its nuanced colours.

I've been doing this for months, making my own colors since individual pastels from most brands are no where to find in my area and the colors are not to my liking. It's such a joy! And watching you do it also was very fun thank you for sharing

Might not be a "tutorial" but I certainly learned something. As usual , your artwork is outstanding and your comedic timing (intentioned or not) is on point! Love your channel! You made me like oil pastels, which is something I wouldn't even have considered a few years ago.

What a great idea to up-cycle old oil pastels and to create custom colors! I've got some really old/vintage ones that I might try this with (they are hard & I'm hoping to revive them a bit lol). Thanks for sharing your experiment.

Girl boss pastels

omggg???? this has got to be my most favorite artwork by youuuu!! the pink is so prettyyyy!!

You are amazingly talented ! I recentely discovered your channel and I'm so glad I did! Your videos make me laugh.

At the art store you can get good oils for those, I believe walnut and linseed oils are good.

Like the real artist you are, you are frugal. I like the bohème vibes! Better than getting every week smashed in the face with new products.

Haha when he said “hurry up with the scraping”. I love the piece at the end

That is so cool and also very eco-friendly to be reusing your old pastels! I on the other hand would never even wanna try this since I could burn myself just LOOKING at the stove😂! But this is so cool and very inspiring to watch💙💙💙, always love your videos!

I love love love oil pastels! I really like how u use a rainbow of colors! I really want to learn to do more with oil pastels. Please teach a lesson on how to do noses! Those r so hard for me, and your noses look so fun!

You have inspired me to do something with all the old pastels I have been gifted with or bought that are too hard to use. I may experiment with adding a few drops of oil to the mix to soften them up a bit. It will be a winter project.

Love the image. Those colors...❤️

See you can save the scraps instead of waisting stuff you can make a new and it can last for a longer time . Freaking cool colors too 😁😊🙂🙂😁 love it.

You are a gem. This was so fun to watch. And you are so TALENTED OMG. ❤❤❤

Looove this piece! And how clever to rejig the pastel colours!!! 💛

The art piece turned out gorgeous. Love your shading and blending, and how transparent and smooth the colors look.

Such great ideas especially when oil paste have limited colours compared to other mediums

Your sarcasm and how this video is chaotic reminds me of angry coconut and I love it

DUDE I am so glad i got this video reccomended, after watching this I watched a lot of your videos and I'm so glad I found an art channel with your ( and mine) type of humour, also the gremlin noises you make...yeah I think we share a few braincels🧠🤝🧠. this video is making me want to look for my old pastels and melt them,and just in general try oil pastels again,which might be good because I have been fighting art block for so long. I'm looking forward to what other videos you're going to make ( also you mentioned baking pastries once?! hell yeah!!)

Three tbsn bees wax two tbsp sunflower oil. 1 tsp mica mixed with more oil about 1 tsp, mull it add to oil and sunflower oil heat med or low until melted...

Make one of your ✨ ultimate ✨ oil pastels. Fav brands/ colors/ textures.. you could make like 5 or 10 and have your lil set of your favs u made n use em for everything..🤔😇

Brilliant! And loved the colours you obtained! 🥰

That blue green is one of my favorite colors

I just came upon your video because KZfaq suggested it for me and I have to say you're one of the best art KZfaqrs out here. You're really funny and your art is AMAZING ❤️ Never stop creating! 😍

Love the colors and love this weird portrait.

Love the art peace and your color mix 😍💘😘 on point.

The colors turned out beautifully!!😍😍

I just adore your personality 🥰🌼 bet you're an awesome friend to have

Hey😘🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Just finished watching the video. Super cool. Thanks for sharing 🤗💕

They are beautiful colours.

This was so cool. I will take your advice and not do it at home because I am so clumsy. If you're worried about the structural integrity of the little plastic container you used to heat up the oil pastels, I recommend using a glass cooking bowl. They're really strong and they can withstand loads of heat.

oh my GOD im in love with how earthy those colors are 0-0 and the final piece turned out phenomenal as always!!! 💕

first of all, this was kind of a tutorial to me because i do want to recycle some of my old pastels. second of all i relate to the rice thing

That was a fantastic idea! Thanks for being so fun and funny too!

Those colours were so cute tho. They were really lovely and the art piece you made was gorgeous Christian. I love how different you made the features on it and how you framed it. Your art always makes me happy and I find myself smiling each time I see you draw or paint. God bless you and yours, now and always.

absolutely ADORE you and your art

I love the colorful earth tones 👏🏻😍

You are one of my favorite creators. You are hilarious. Gorgeous and your work is so damn satisfying 🥺🙏🏽🤍

Dude the colours came out legit... i like that weird pukey one actually cos it is raw.

Your art is so cool! I haven’t used oil pastels since high school and never realized the ways you can create texture.

I love the scraping effect!

I'ma need to do this eventually even though you said not to lol. Lovely work! 🥰

I was like…. Where’s the scritchy-scratch at… phew you remembered 😂 Loved the art as well .. keep it up boss✌️✌️✌️

I loove the painting in the background!

This was great! Loved that you explored a new avenue to create your own colors! 👍🏽❣️

Wish I could like this video twice. So glad KZfaq recommended your videos to me :)

This is such a good idea! Eco friendly, creative and easy. I don't even use oil pastels much, but your art make me want to use them more!

love the subtle colours! Brilliant idea

It's a great idea! I wonder if you could mix in a little oil into the melted mixture to bring back some moisture to dry pastels.

This man is so funny. I love watching your stuff. Lots of love ❤️ keep doin what you're doin hun 😘

wth the crayons u made all look so good together as a palette

Oooh those colors are exactly my kind of colors.

Commenting for the algorithm because I love your work and I’m excited to see your channel grow!! Keep up the great work ❤️

You inspire me. I went back to my pastes. On large paper.

GREAT IDEA!!! I LOVE THE DRAWING AS WELL.

This is amazing~ I loved listening to you talk about the process! It's like I'm listening to a friend. ✨💚 I love the masterpiece at the end! 💯

In school we talk about you and see you painting 🖼

The GREEN ones that your calling blue are actually gorgeous

Oooo I love this piece, I like the background a lot too

I'm going to have to try this. They look like Sennelier oil pastels!

Such pretty colors 🥰

Brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing. :)

Ily! Your art is some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen 😎keep doin u gurl

I’ve never been this early!! Literally ur such a big inspiration!

I love your videos, they're so entertaining yet relaxing 😌

The color palette was beautiful and the texture was really nice

I loved this, please create more colors!

Bro the fucking noises took me out 😂 your personality and art are so dope!

Thank you! Great video.

I found some oil pastels at what was my local art museum (Newfields, Indianapolis, Indiana) and I haven't found them anywhere else, but they are AWESOME! If you ever stumble upon a set of Ooly Twisty Stixx oil Pastels jump at them, hon! They are worth the money for 24 colors
