In your video you mention using a colourless blender oil pastel of the same brand. From an online search i cannot seem to find any such item for Mungyo. What is the brand of colourless blender oil pastel you use? Also, what are your thoughts on blending stumps? Just started your course today, loving it so far. Thank you.

Hi Anna,
In the first video of this course, I share the surfaces that I like to use. Papers designated as “Pastel” paper will perform the best, however oil pastels will adhere to almost any surface.

Hi Ava,

The video is playing normally here. Are you on a shared connection – like at a school or a library?

None of the videos are working for me. 🙁 Is there a specific application I need?

I have noticed that if I use my OSM to blend and smooth that the work will “dry” better then without. So we use Cobalt to help our oil paintings cure faster, what about with the oil pastels?

Gathering the materials, watched the intro module. I am obsessed with the music at the beginning of each module! Love it! Please share what it is. Thank you for offering such good content on so many mediums. You are an excellent teacher!
