I discovered you on Youtube. Video-landscape in oil pastel. I was thrilled with your work. I found your course and even though I know little English, I bought it. Your online school is excellent! Sometimes I have to help myself with the videos with a translator from my mobile phone, which seems quite funny, but I don’t regret it and I am grateful that I bought it. The virtual instructor is great and at an excellent price. Thank you. With gratitude and respect, Iveta from the Czech Republic

Do you prefer to work in oil pastels on an easel or flat. I have always used an easel for most work but I’m finding flat seems more comfortable.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Barb Ryan
Ps the course was great!

I have a quick question. When you are not filming do you work in oil pastels on an easel or flat. I have always used an easel for most work but I’m finding flat seems more comfortable.
Thoughts?

I’ve tried using both brands of oil pastels in my mixed media work – over acrylic. Do they ever dry completely? should this work be ultimately framed under glass?

I love this new course. Though I haven’t tried oil pastels yet, there is so much to learn anyhow. Guess, I will follow this course using soft pastels instead.

I really appreciate the way, the use of each and every new medium introduced starts right from the very beginning, so one can just dive in where it seems most appropriate to oneself.

Thank you so much for all the effort and time, you put in each lesson.

Best greetings, Buddy

Hi Riuichi,

You canceled your subscription and your access to the membership program ended on September 1. These modules are currently available for viewing as a preview but ebook downloads require an active membership.

I’m already a member, but the system doesn’t seem to want to know that. Am I missing something?
