Still relevant in 2024 and so informative.  Thank you so much for showing us your techniques!

I’m watching this in 2026. Thank you so much for your highly skilled instruction and allow allowing us to watch you paint

At last someone who explains things clearly and without loud music playing in the background. Just like being in class which I love thank you.

This might have been recorded a few years ago, but the information and tips shared are the best I have seen for oil pastels. Thank you so much.

This is one of the best oil pastel tutorials I have seen. Thank you for making it. I use oil pastel with mineral spirits and love the technique of painting but the convenience of taking the pastels with me.  I also use a watercolor undercoat, then use pastels over it so when I scrape you can see the colors underneath. Different technique, but it works will.

This was such a treat to listen to. So calm and instructive. Not a word absent or excessive. Thank you, Ms. Saunders. I'll go try my hand at oil pastels now.

Its 2022 and I cant thank you enough.  I have finally found the "how to" and I want to thank you.  I really want to be able to use oil pastels.  I was just about to give up.  Hope you are doing great.  Thanks again.

How refreshing to watch a professionally presented, calm and inspiring video.

The harder student grade can be used for large areas, under paintings, bottom layers, etc. Then the creamier oil pastels go on top with more details nicely.

Thank you for a demo that including using pastels on a canvas...as well as method for transferring basic outline! I appreciate that pacing of the presentation and the added fact that there is no wasted small talk, you don't go off on unrelated tangents. Also good to know about fixatives and the common sense/uses of having both artist grade pastels and student grade! Thank you!

Come across this yesterday, and you have now inspired me to try to work in oil pastel.
