Ya, but if it's Oil Pastel, the dust is extremely toxic & dangerous...
You should always wear a mask.
Never blow on the drawing to get the excess dust off, let it fall on it's own.
Work on a vertical easel (like she has) so the dust falls down.
You should work in a well ventilated room also.
Trust me I went to art school for two years, that shit is one of the most, if not the most, dangerous art mediums to work with, it's pure toxic poison.Comment

Ok dude ... I went to art school for 4 years ... does this mean my opinion will count?
You're talking out of your ass! LOL... Seriously ... toxic and poison yes ... if you fucking eat the shit or sleep on a bed made of it ! But to draw a picture with it ... dude ... seriously, chill out
Oil Pastel is NOT going to kill you ... I've used it enough in the past ... and I'm still alive ... I've never used a mask or anything.
Seriously, scare mongering is really not good.

Talking out my ass? Fuck you I am not trying to scare monger, obviously she's a beginner so I doubt she knows much about them so here are some excerpts...Ok dude ... I went to art school for 4 years ... does this mean my opinion will count?

From Danielsmith.com I assume in the 4 years of your art training you've heard of them:
The popularity of pastels continues to increase. All of the safety suggestions given for oil painting apply to pastels, too, although the focus is somewhat different. The following three recommendations are key.
Minimize skin contact
Since pastel painting is such a tactile experience, it is doubly important to reduce skin contact. Many pastelists working in both soft and oil pastels now wear latex gloves because they are thin and close-fitting, and can essentially preserve the nuances of application achievable with bare fingers. For artists who make their own soft pastels, wearing gloves, a respirator and other protective equipment is strongly advised.
Reduce exposure to airborne particles
Soft pastels are a crumbly, particulate medium. Since pastel painting involves transferring particles of loosely-bound pigment from pastel sticks to textured paper or grounds, pastel dust is created. Some of this dust contains hazardous components such as heavy metal pigments. Even if the colors used are free of hazardous pigments, inhaling dust is detrimental to the respiratory system.
Pastels are usually painted on a vertical surface, ideally slanted slightly forward so that dust falls off the painting. In a pastel studio, dust collects on the floor, worktables and other surfaces (including the artist!), making good studio hygiene very important. Always wipe up pastel dust with damp cloths to keep the dust from becoming airborne again.
Using a respirator is advised. Although this is somewhat uncomfortable, many artists agree the protection received is worth the discomfort. As with other media, it is ideal to have a space separate from your usual living quarters in which to work. It's also smart to have painting clothes such as a smock or coveralls that you can remove in the studio, to avoid bringing the dust into other living areas. Wash painting clothes separately.
From Artpaper.com
Care & Safety
* Pastels can be very dangerous, because it's easy to breathe in their dust. Also, watch out for the fixatives.
* Use a rice container to store and cushion the fragments of pastel sticks.
* Use corrugated cardboard to keep sticks from rolling onto the floor and breaking.
* Wear a mask when you work with pastels; the dust is very toxic.
* Using an air filter machine is another good safety precaution.
* Never blow hard on your work; work on upright easels and allow the pastel dust to settle by itself.

Holy shit! haha...
Sorry man ... go back and read what I said ... You'll note ... a LOL ... and a
That dictates that I was saying it all in light. I didn't have a go at you.... why say "fuck you" to me ?
Dude ... seriously, you're talking about a girl who's doing an image ... it's not like she's spending her life in the canvas. I DO think you are talking crap... but not in general ... only in THIS context.
So yeah ... stop getting all fucking pissy about it and chill out

I used oil pastels at school... for 5 years of school in fact.
NEVER did any of my teachers (and I had multiple teachers through out out the years) did any of them ever give us ANY kind of warnings about them.
We NEVER had to wear gloves or a mask or anything...
So.. if they are so dangerous why didn't the school use safety precautions?
A school would legally have to over here in the U.K to cover their asses just in case a student had a reaction to them.
Maybe you are talking about different oil pastels?.... because the ones that I have always used or seen being used have NEVER been dangerous enough to warrant gloves or anything!Comment

Oh yes... And the work that your lovely girlfriend is doing is amazing!
I wish I was that good with them... dangComment

I was simply warning the guy that this new found hobby of his girlfriends can be very dangerous and he should be careful, is that so bad of me? Try to do him a favor and I get grief, sheesh.
Now go watch the video in this thread, it's awesome:

At my school the rep from Windsor & Newton came and straight up told us that it was the worse shit to use and extremely dangerous. That's where I learned it, so I guess it wasn't really from my teacher either.
I am talking about oil pastels. There are also non-toxic ones, but they aren't the same quality.Last edited by aico; 12-07-2006, 04:10 PM.Comment

Does every thread on GFY have to end with someone arguing or acting like they know more than everyone else (that's not a shot at anyone, especially either one of the "twisteds", I think they are right)? Seriously, can't we all just say "Star...your gf is a helluva artist. Looks good, man"...without having to debate whether the medium she is using is dangerous or not?Comment
