Can You Laminate Oil Pastel Pictures

I told the boys.

Can you laminate oil pastel pictures.

I show you how to store and protect your pastel paintings. You have to press down hard to get nice thick vibrant lines of colour on the laminating pocket and they are slippery so taping them was essential. You only need three things. It s possible but i do not recommend that you laminate oil pastels for the reasons i have given below.

If you re using oil pastels layer your drawing by making an underpainting before you put several colors on top to give it depth and definition. This is the mo. There are other ways to protect your artwork that are better for it and work much better. Lamination has its place however for oil pastels it is not ideal and there are alternatives which are better.

If you are unsure which type you would like to use try purchasing a few pieces of each type of pastel and paper then figure out what you like and don t like about each through experimentation. If you re using chalk pastels experiment with different grips for different effects. Try holding the pastel vertically near the tip for example to make thick rounded markings. I wonder if we can draw on the laminating sheets we got out some pastels and i opened up a laminating pocket and taped it to the table one for each of the boys.
