Blackberries in Oil Pastel Real-Time Tutorial

Hi friends! It’s been a while since I used oil pastels so today I have this tutorial for you.

We are also going to take a look at new jumbo oil pastels from Paul Rubens. The Unboxing starts at 5 minutes in and the tutorial runs from 26 minutes through the rest of the video. I hope you enjoy it! Also, Paul Rubens is having their 14th anniversary sale 8/8-8/14 and many products are 20% off on Amazon Including the pastels I am using today. You have to click on products to see the deal and clip the coupon in many cases. The 48-pan set of their original watercolor is 20% off and cheaper than the price I paid on prime days a few years ago!
