Have you ever tried to draw a portrait in oil pastel? It is not as easy as you may think. The reason is that it is difficult to achieve a realistic result with these pastels. A lot of effort must be put into the creation of the painting and a lot of patience is required.

Oil pastels were created specifically for artists who want to add color to their drawings but do not want the added weight or brightness of colored pencils and crayons. Artists who use oil pastels are likely to be working on large works that require a lot of space, so they need something that gives them lots of room for color. Oil pastels can be applied thickly or thinly, depending on the desired effect. They have the ability to create rich, deep colors while still being translucent. They are also easy to blend, which allows for more accurate blending from one color to another within your drawing.

These pastels are used in many famous paintings and great works of art. There are even artists who specialize in using oil pastels exclusively for their work because this is what they feel gives them their best results.

Hi, my name is Esmerelda and I am a full time artist, art teacher and blogger. I have been painting with oil pastels since 2006. I encourage everyone to give it a try.

I started my blog www.oilpastelartist.com in 2009 as a way to share what I have learned about the medium. As time went by, the blog became more and more popular and some of my paintings were featured on other sites and magazines.

This year, my dream came true: I released my first book: EXPANDING THE PALETTE: Using Oil Pastels in Mixed Media Art (North Light Books/Artist’s Library). If you haven’t done so already, please take a look at this fantastic book!

My blog is now read by thousands of people from all over the world every month. Last December it was selected among top 10 blogs for artists by Top 100 Artist Blogs 2015 . In 2012 it was also selected among Top 100 Artist Blogs 2012  by Top 100 Artist Blogs .

After years of painting and drawing with oil pastels, I’ve developed a love for the medium. I love how rich it is and how easy it is to control. Oil pastels are one of the best art materials for the beginning artist because they require little skill but still allow for lots of creativity.

This blog will share with you the process that I use to create my oil pastel paintings. It’s not always a straight path and there are many times when I have to go back and correct or enhance an area, but that’s what makes creating work so much fun!

I hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing it!

Oil pastel is a painting medium, an oil paint in paste or crayon form. While oil pastels are used by some professional artists, they are more commonly used for hobby art, for doodling and fine art as well as for technical illustration. Oil pastels are also used by children and students because of their ease of use.

Oil pastel is made from a combination of pigments and binders, along with additives to improve the physical properties of the pigment. The pigments used can be either dry or wet.
