I’m glad you liked it! I hope they work as well for you as they did me… if not at least your fingers won’t be too messy! 😆

It seems to have dried just fine after a few days. It’s been closed for a long time now and I just checked it and no problems! ☺️

Have A Seat Marj I’m glad you like the vlog! And I’m glad we share the same sense of humor! 😂

😹

Thank you! I think since it was a heavier paper I lucked out because it dried in a few days… at least we’ll enough to close the book. Now it’s much later and completely dry. But if I work on a less absorbent material I’ll definitely look into the fixative and/or glacine, thank you for the tip! ☺️🧡

I have that Sennelier d'Artigny but I prefer Schwarzkopf Taft hairspray a lot more.

@@KimballsCorner it will never be dry enough not to smear. use a gentle spray of hairspray and that is a "game changer" experience. without Schwarzkopf Taft hairspray oil pastels are total mess, with hairspray they are gorgeous to use in sketchbooks.

Thank you for the tip! I’ll see if I can find some and give it a try! 🧡🧡

Thank you! It was so fun and since it was my first time really using them I really didn’t want to focus on drawing... coloring books are awesome! 🧡

exactly! at the and just spray with Schwarzkopf Taft or any high quality hairspray and it will look even more gorgeous.

karla lymburner thank you! I did end up fading her hair into blackness... I posted a more complete version on Instagram. @kimballgray if you’re interested! 🧡

@@KimballsCorner I will check her out 👍👍👍

Cheryl Claviter thank you! When it comes to colors just use your favorites! If you want to get technical about it though, color wheels are really helpful... or just google pretty color palettes! 🧡🤗

Susanne H thanks! I will definitely give an update on the dry time... as of now, still smearable! 😆

I’ll add them to the list of videos I want to do! 🧡 it’s been awhile and I should really play with them more!

Nooooooooo! 😂 well... they dried enough.. kinda. I guess I can look into a sealant. Thank you for letting me know! 🧡🤗

JD isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. 😊 I’m not a fan of harder pastels, which is what I thought the Caran d’Ache ones were, so I went with the Sennelier... sooo buttery! They’re a pleasure to use but I definitely need some more practice with them! 🧡 I may need to try out the Caran d’Ache ones if they’re softer than I thought. And I’m glad you like my personality, I know I’m not for everyone too... 😆

Thank you! And yeah sometimes videos just slip through the cracks… but I’m glad you found it!🧡 I remember being so intimidated by these creamy crayons!

I haven't tried Pan Pastels... there are so many of them and they take up a lot of space.... but I have tried Jane's Palette Pastels, which I enjoy for details but not for creating entire pieces. I'm too impatient and don't want to use a fixative. I've seen people using the Pan Pastels though and it blows my mind how good they are!

@@KimballsCorner I know they make it look so easy. One of the pluses of Pan Pastels is they don't make a mess and don't get chalk all over. They get just a touch on top of the color but I almost never have to blow it off your art.They do take lots of space.nO hate that. I'm cramped already. Lol Hope you & you're are doing great.☺

My favorite is photoshop but it can be very overwhelming because of the nearly unlimited options. I figured out a way of coloring that I really like to do and just stick with it... on occasion I’ll add new things here and there but I like steps I’ve created for myself. I also use procreate on the iPad. I really enjoy that, especially for inking images. I don’t know it as well as photoshop but it’s fun to play around in. They do updates so sometimes things change a little bit which is annoying for about 5 seconds but then you get over it! 😂 Digital art can be tricky to learn but once you figure out what works for you it can become very easy, quick and enjoyable!

@@KimballsCorner Thank you, Kimball! I don't know very much about Photoshop. My husband can do it. I'm one of those people that likes using art supplies, getting paint on my hands, using brushes...I have been resisting using the drawing board--it has different brushes and everything but for me it isn't the same. Have a wonderful day and stay safe!

😂 just skip ahead!
