Trying Oil Pastels | Sargent Portrait Study

If oil pastels were more thin, they would be the perfect media: for me, the issue is that they are so thick, that you only can make big size works with them.

omg I picked the same portrait by Sargent to make a study with oil pastels a few months ago! I was so scared because it was my second oil pastel portrait and the first one looked awful... but I had tons of fun and it ended up looking not so bad. Yours is soooo prettyyyy, it's hard to believe you don't use them on a regular basis, you did a great job! :)

Awesome job! Makes me want to do a picture in oil pastels.

Each video is somehow even better than the last. I've become a diehard Sargent fan because of you! Google Arts and Culture sent me down a rabbit hole. Thank you for featuring my music ❤

Gorgeous result again Emily! I also started using oil pastels since a year or so and love them more and more ✨

[melocotonki]

They look so lovely! But also difficult to use 😮 I would love to see more videos of you working with them, and maybe a few tips?? 💖

[marenstew]

This was such a lovely video!!! I love watching you do portraits!! 💞 Your study came out so good!! These pastels look so soft and vibrant??? :0

[AnnieNoodle]

I loved watching your process for testing these out! I'm hoping to try them next year. I've heard such good things about them. Your Sargeant study was gorgeous!! 😻

[DanniTheL]

another amazing video. It seems like you let yourself have fun with this, and it made it fun to watch. I always really appreciate your color choices.

Thanks for the demo Emily, nice eyes and portrait! You have pushed me to try again my old oil pastels!

[stephanieyelland]

It's beautiful, I used to hate using oil pastels at college but they have developed a lot since then. Your portrait looks like it's been painted with oils not drawn. I like the texture too. It's a great alternative to actually painting.

I just ordered these yesterday, so I was so excited to see your video pop up!! I love super soft oils for impressionistic landscapes, but ill definitely be trying a few portraits too

[Kaylasdaintydesk]

Great study! I love oil pastels, I’m hoping to try this set in the future

[prexytheartist]

Those oil pastels look so good in your art style! Lovely master study 💕

[adarfrida]

love how she turned out! Thanks for sharing your process. :)

[elizathepainter]

Beautiful portrait as always. Have to go back and watch your portrait tutorials soon!

[lexa]

your art is so lovely i don't understand how your channel hasn't blown up yet but trust me, it will

[vidrovszki]

It turned out so beautiful!!🧁I loved this review.
I love that hands can be used to blend the pastels and how buttersoft they are!🧈
I wonder how a finished piece can be protected from further smearing...🤔

Thank you Emily. Beautiful job with Lady Agnew.

I love your videos and your art style! This makes me want to invest in some oil pastels. I have “soft” pastels but they feel too much like chalk.
