Artist Pastels

Question: difference between Soft Pastels and Oil Pastels?

This page answers some of my questions, but I need a little more clarity. I I hope to hear from other artists to pastel, which may shed more light on the specific question of pastel. :-) I know what chalk / pastels are hard. Thank you to inspect what you can provide. Difference betwn soft and Oil Pastels? Http: / / www.dickblick.com/categories/pastels/ # moreinfo

Answer: Soft Pastels: This is the most widely used form of pastel. The sticks have a higher proportion of pigment and less binder, resulting in brighter Colors. The drawing can be easily blurred and mixed, but it leads to a higher proportion of dust. Drawings made with Soft Pastels require a fixation of the ink . prevent Oil Pastel (also called wax oil crayon) is a painting and drawing medium with characteristics similar to pastels and wax crayons. Unlike "soft" or "French" pastel sticks, which are made with a gum or methyl cellulose binder, Oil Pastels consist of pigment mixed with a non-drying Oil and wax binder. The surface of an Oil Pastel is therefore less powder, but more difficult to protect with a fixative. Crayon: These have a smooth, Butter sauce consistency and intense colors. They are somewhat more difficult to blend than Soft Pastels, but do not require a fixative. Sorry, I'm no artist, but I hope this can help you.

Paint Set

Question: How can I "heat" put a shirt that I only paint painted on with fabric?

I started with my design drawing Chalk and then drew over it with a black deco paint marker. The pen determines that I "should provide warmth, the color, but I'm not sure how to do so, especially with a little chalk. Do I have to do only the iron-shirt that? Would it be a good idea to dry cleaning it instead? Or is there another way to do this ...? Thanks!

Answer: You can also use a "pressing cloth or an old T-shirt with an iron, or turn the project inside out and put it in the dryer on high heat for 20 minutes scheduled. When it was warm set, you can wash the chalk, by connecting it with a short cold wash (again) from the inside out.

I plan to paint a portrait, and then stained with Oil Pastels. The newly on the oil pastel, and what I would like some tips.

Answer: Yes, here is a I discovered me, although I am sure that other there have already been used. I found that if I was a brush dipped in turpentine after applying the pastel I could see the edges and blend colors and some fine points, etc. Since this "discovery" I do all my outdoor soften with Oil Pastels and sketches of turpentine.
