Thank you so much, I’m glad art can be that healing ❤️ que tengas mucha suerte con la entrevista!

Thanks a lot! That’s always the case when you only see an edited video but it’s often tricky for me too ♥️

Thank you so much! 🥰 I absolutely love soft pastels and I don’t feel they are too different, oil pastels are way messier though in my opinion

Is it hard to clean up? Like your fingers etc?

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! ❤️

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your comments ❤️ Mine get messy on the right side but I try to left it unfinished until I’m done with the rest because smudges tend to occur often there

Thank you very much!

Glad you think so!

Thank you so much! I’m trying to emulate the way I paint with oils using a brush but doing it instead with my fingers ☺️

Very much appreciated! ❤️

That’s so nice of you to say, thank you very much! 🥰

Thank you so much! I’m glad that you enjoyed it ☺️❤️

Thank you so much 😊

Muchas gracias! 🥰 creo que el contraste con el fondo oscuro ayuda a destacarla

Thank you so much! 😊❤️

Thank you very much! I’m glad that you enjoyed it 😊

Muchas gracias 🥰

I’m glad that it helps! ❤️ I try not to speed them up because I don’t find them to be very useful that way and also they feel more chaotic

Thank you so much! ☺️ I tried to have a more clear color palette and not going overboard with too many different colors and I think it helped

Thank you! ❤️❤️

Muchísimas gracias, Moises, lo valoro mucho. Creo que ya nos enseñan bastantes desgracias así que intento aportar mi granito de arena en la otra dirección 😊

It is! I hope she keeps it up but at the same time it never stops me from watching her videos! They're so good! I love her style of art! 🥰😍

I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you ❤️

Thanks a lot ☺️ I’m trying to improve the way I record, so glad somebody noticed!

You talk as if wars havent been happening for millenia lol, we live in a far better world than before, except the more deadly weapons

@@user-uv9zr8qs2c No, I don't talk that way, though I'm happy for you that you enjoy the feeling of thinking you made a good point. Sure, if we look at the normality experienced day to day, then things are better than most times before, but the stress is escalating on every front. Even if the various stupidities playing out now don't result in nuclea war or some other global calamity, we still face dwindling resources and overpoplation. Even with Musk's advances in energy use, something as simeple as drinking waer will eventually become scarce and that alone can put us back n track towards ass destruction. Sorry if I seem aggressie, but I think you're objection to my happy little comment of appreciation was weirdly negative.

This really means a lot to me ♥️ I’m very self conscious of my voice and my accent and that’s why it took me so long to start sharing videos on KZfaq. Have a lovely day!

And pollution 🙈

@@YolandaBlazquez I have an accent myself. I'm Norwegian. Many years ago I told a Canadian girl who lives here that I liked that I would like to get rid of my accent, and she told me "No, nothing is more boring than a Norwegian with no accent. You should keep your accent." The same goes for you. Your English is fluent and perfect and highly communicative, and your accent is pleasant and melodic. I'll be crying in the rain if you ever lose that accent. Have a lovely day you too.

If I do it I’ll definitely record it! I actually want to do it with Sennelier’s because they have the richest consistency and go over any others easily.

Thanks for the tip! I will look for some silicone molds or something. I will try melting them using a double boiler on low 🤞🏻

Muchas gracias! Yo los he estado creando en Patreon pero todavía no para KZfaq, igual me animo ☺️

Thank you 😊 I use Pastelmat

Muchas gracias! 🥰

🙈 believe it or not I haven’t tried my Holbeins yet! I have that yellow too, thank you for the suggestion ❤️

Děkuji moc! Chtěla jsem nějaký kontrast barvy ❤️

Don’t give up ❤️ oil pastels are the hardest medium I’ve tried. I personally haven’t been using them for that long, like over half a year or so but I’ve been painting with watercolor, oils, digital and soft pastels for many years. All adds up and at the end they are not that different, you can do it!

Muchas gracias! 🥰 siempre utilizo papel para los pasteles porque es más cómodo y ocupa muy poco espacio

Thank you! There’s no best paper, it depends on your preferences and technique. I personally prefer fine sanded papers that are usually marketed for soft pastel but many others prefer watercolor paper or other drawing papers. For sketches I like cheap printing paper the most.

@@YolandaBlazquez Thanks you so much for sharing your expertise. I really appreciate it.

No but I should do it!

I use Pastelmat ☺️

Thank you 😊 these are mostly Sennelier and a couple of Neopastel

Haha I guess it is relatively large, a centimeter and something of diameter. The thin ones are too fine for rough blending large areas

I’m not sure such cream exists, gloves help a lot with the scrubbing but if I paint for long periods of time using them then my skin doesn’t like it either 🙈 What I have to make sure I do is to pile on layers of clothing so I don’t get cold and my hands are warmer, that really makes a difference

Absolutely! Thank you for caring ☺️ I avoid toxic pigments as well. I thought about the molds people use to make homemade lip balms! I should really take a look.

Hahaha 😆 we all do

Thanks for subbing! ❤️

I think you could potentially save them all and melt them together to form a new stick once you have enough of them

Naples Yellow is a beautiful color but I don’t tend to use it as it contains cadmium yellow. I still want a lighter yellow anyway ☺️

Hmm this is interesting. I myself have been concerned about using the colours which have cadmium, cobalt etc in. There’s some lovely deep red shades in Senneliers I especially love that have toxic ingredients.... Is the general rule that as long as you don’t use fingers to blend and use silcone tool/paper stump instead, then those oil pastels would be safe to use? 🤔

@@sadiamahmood3742 in theory even if you use your fingers to blend with them they are safe because they are made in a way that these heavy metals can’t be easily absorbed through the skin. They even have the AP label on them and not the cautionary label. Buuut I’m still concerned about this because I touch my things while I paint, even though I’m careful I can’t avoid touching my camera or tripod and the oil pastels are very hard to remove from them and I have a little child that touches everything and still puts his hands on his mouth so I prefer to play it safe. I’m careful and clean as well as I can but I worry less if I use safer pigments to begin with. Cadmium and cobalt don’t bother me with traditional oils though because they don’t end up anywhere other than the canvas and brushes.

They are not very expensive where I live 😕

@@YolandaBlazquez Ah, I understand, here in Brazil they are very expensive, I even wanted to buy them but it is completely unfeasible given the price, a box of 12 costs more than 700 reais.

Sennelier and Neopastel ☺️

The finish you’ll get will depend on your technique but also very much by the consistency of the pastels since you can find them from soft and buttery to pretty hard and crayon like

@@YolandaBlazquez okay ma'am 😊

Thank you! ❤️❤️

Don’t rush it 😊 I’ve been painting (in different mediums) for many years, it takes practice and time and you will get there.

@@YolandaBlazquez thanks ,for your motivating word,But did you attend any classes for this ,just asking🙂

I’m self taught ☺ anybody can do it @@shahnajara3406

Sí, soy española ☺️

I use Sennelier and Neopastel the most but also Mungyo gallery

@@YolandaBlazquez okay thank you so much ma'am 🙏

From Spain 🙂

Yeah me too but portraits it’s what I share the most because “algorithms”. In my last video I talk about this. That’s also why I switch mediums, because I get bored.
