質素なクラフターのリンゼイです。

Today we're going to talk about oil sticks.

今日はオイルスティックについて話そう。

ここに数種類のブランドがあるんだ。

I don't have that many because they aren't really a new medium.

新しいメディアではないので、それほど多くは持っていない。

このセットは昔から持っていたんだ。

これは25年前から持っていると思う。

これは買ったばかりのセットだ。

基本的にはスティック状の油絵具だ。

So let's take a look at the ones that I have here.

では、ここにあるものを見てみよう。

I have these oil bars by Winsor & Newton, and I have these oil sticks by Sennelier.

ウィンザー＆ニュートンのオイルバーと、セネリエのオイルスティックを持っている。

これがスリムなオイルバーだ。

These are discontinued, but they're kind of skinnier than what you typically see as an oil stick, and so are these.

これは廃盤になったものだが、一般的なオイルスティックよりも細身で、これもそうだ。

These are also available in sticks that are like twice the length of this or so from Sennelier, then they have really chunky ones.

これの2倍くらいの長さのスティックもセネリエから発売されている。

だから、どちらも小さい方だ。

They're just a little bit larger than oil pastels.

オイルパステルより少し大きいくらいだ。

The difference between an oil stick and an oil pastel is that an oil stick or oil bar will dry.

オイルスティックとオイルパステルの違いは、オイルスティックやオイルバーは乾くということだ。

It uses pigment, wax, and drying oils, whereas an oil pastel would have pigment, wax, and a non-drying oil such as mineral oil.

オイルパステルには顔料、ワックス、ミネラルオイルのような不乾性油が使われるのに対し、顔料、ワックス、乾燥油が使われる。

So the reason why you can use oil pastels on paper without any problem is that it won't rot the paper because the oils are different.

だから、オイルパステルを紙の上で問題なく使えるのは、オイルが違うから紙が腐らないからだ。

They don't go through that oxidization process that can kind of break down paper.

紙を分解するような酸化プロセスを経ない。

That's why you need to work on a gessoed or primed surface if you're using oil sticks.

そのため、オイルスティックを使う場合は、ジェッソを塗った面や下地を塗った面で作業する必要がある。

They're essentially just like oil paint, but they're similar.

本質的には油絵具と同じだが、似ている。

You can do similar techniques, you can do similar tutorials, but essentially these are oil paint in a stick.

似たようなテクニックやチュートリアルはあるが、基本的にはスティック状の油絵具だ。

So why would you want to use these rather than oil paint?

では、なぜ油絵具ではなくこれらを使いたいのか？

The biggest reason I would say is they're dry to the touch much quicker.

最大の理由は、手触りが早く乾くことだ。

I just finished this painting yesterday and it's already dry to the touch.

この絵は昨日仕上げたばかりで、手触りはもう乾いている。

There's like no shine anywhere, and I mean it was like literally it's 1 p.m. now and I finished this around 5 p.m. yesterday, so much faster to dry.

今、午後1時だけど、昨日は午後5時くらいに仕上げたから、乾くのがとても早かった。

Also I find there's less waste when you're using these, so instead of having like a bunch of leftover paint on your palette that you either have to try to use up before it dries, or stick in the freezer to prolong its use a little bit, or just toss, you have very little waste on here.

パレットに残った絵の具を乾く前に使い切るか、冷凍庫に入れて長持ちさせるか、あるいは捨ててしまうか。

The only waste you're really going to have is the skin that forms on the oil stick, and you just wipe it off and then you're ready to go with your next project.

無駄なのはオイルスティックの上にできた皮だけで、それを拭き取れば次のプロジェクトに取り掛かることができる。

And the other reason is that I find that it's it's a lot quicker, you get to kind of get right in there, you're hanging on to the pigment stick, it's very direct, and if you like to sketch then you probably will like this this product.

そしてもうひとつの理由は、より素早く、顔料スティックにぶら下がっているような感じで、とてもダイレクトで、スケッチが好きな人ならおそらくこの製品が気に入ると思う。

Plus you can also use it like you would oil paint.

それに、油絵の具のように使うこともできる。

Something I like to use with the oil sticks would be Gamsol, this is an odorless mineral spirit, and what I do is I'll pour it into a little palette cup here.

これは無臭のミネラルスピリットで、小さなパレットカップに注いで使う。

You can pick these up at any art supply store for I would say around four or five dollars, they even make ones that have lids.

画材屋で4、5ドルくらいで手に入るし、蓋つきのものもある。

I don't put too much in there because I won't need too much in the course of a painting.

絵を描いている間はあまり必要ないから、あまりたくさんは入れない。

You can clean your brushes with this product, but I actually keep a separate jar with brush cleaner in it, and that way I put fresh stuff out for for my painting, and then another thing you might want to add would be a linseed oil into another cup, so when you're using these paints just like using oil paints, you would want to build up with layers if you if you want to do layers, and your first layers you would want to be thin or lean as they say in the oil painting world, and that would be like pigment mixed with paint thinner, so let me just move some stuff out of the way.

この製品で筆をきれいにすることもできるが、私は筆クリーナーを入れた瓶を別に持っていて、そうすることで絵を描くときに新鮮なものを使うことができる、最初の層は、油絵の世界で言われるように、薄く、あるいは薄くしたいものだ。

I just brought over my oil pastels just so you can kind of see a comparison of the size difference here between an oil like the Sennelier oil stick and that's a Craypa oil pastel, so the Sennelier sticks are bigger than the Craypa, which is some of the bigger oil pastels, but not super, not a huge amount bigger, this is a Sennelier oil stick and a Sennelier oil pastel just for comparison there in size, so the oil sticks are bigger, they are generally more expensive and there's not as much variety in oil sticks as you would find in oil pastels, so if you're gonna do a sketch or a painting I should say, because you're gonna end up with an oil painting when you're done, you probably work on either a primed wood board or you might work on a canvas panel like this, or really anything that's got a good primer or a good surface to protect whatever the substrate is, you need to have something that's been gessoed or acrylic painted, something like that.

セネリエのオイルスティックと、クレイパのオイルパステルの大きさの違いを比べてみてください、一般的にオイルスティックは高価で、オイルパステルほど種類は多くない。だから、スケッチやペインティングをするなら、最終的には油絵になるから、下塗りしたウッドボードか、このようなキャンバスパネルか、下地が何であれ保護するために良い下塗り剤や良い表面があるもの、ジェッソを塗ったもの、アクリル絵の具を塗ったもの、そんなものが必要だろう。

On that painting I just showed you of the fish, I had worked over, it was on a stretched canvas and I had decoupaged some deli paper on there and then coated it with the clear gesso before I started painting on it, so I have a nice barrier between the cotton duct of the canvas and the oil stick because the oil paint would eat through that fabric eventually, so you need to have that primer there, so let's say I want to do a painting here, what I would do is I would start with, first I would see if I need to remove a skin off of my stick, and no it's fine, so I can go right in and I can start sketching, and I have no idea how this is going to come out because this isn't going to be a terribly long video, just want to kind of give you the idea.

先ほどお見せした魚の絵は、伸ばしたキャンバスにデリカペーパーをデコパージュして、クリアジェッソを塗ってから描いたものです、下地がないと、油絵の具が布を食い破ってしまうからです。ここで絵を描くとしたら、まず、棒の皮を剥ぐ必要があるかどうかを確認します。

Now one thing I did with these because they were older and kind of sticky, I actually wrapped packing tape around the oil stick because it did have a plastic wrapping on it, but it was just it was just kind of sticky, so that's something you can do if you got sticks and they end up being sticky.

古いオイルスティックで、ちょっとベタベタしていたので、梱包用のテープを巻いてみた。

Now once you get to this point and you're down to the wrapper, what I recommend doing is taking a box cutter and just kind of cutting off the wrapper, I wouldn't cut too much off because you don't want to you don't want to waste it, I would do this over the trash can, I'll just do it over my lid here, but you can just cut your wrapper off, you probably don't need to take that much off, once you get an edge you can generally just score around and peel it, peel it off, you kind of see a little bit of that skin right there, that that will form on the whole top of your oil sticks, like if you go a couple days without using them, but it's just a small layer, don't worry about it, it's not really wasting that much, and when you consider what you're not throwing away on your palette, it's quite an economical medium, I think, although the sugar shock of buying them to begin with might be a bit surprising, but I find these little sets by Sennelier, Blick has them for about $22, they're the way to go really, because then you can see how much you're going to use, what you really think of them, before you've invested too much money.

さて、ここまで来て包み紙がなくなったら、私がお勧めするのは、カッターナイフで包み紙を切り落とすことだ、でも、ラップを切るだけでいいんだ。たぶん、そんなに切り落とす必要はないと思う。端に切り込みを入れたら、あとは周りに切れ目を入れて剥がしていけばいい、2、3日使わないでいても、ほんの少しの層だから気にしなくていいし、そんなに無駄にはならないし、パレットで捨てずに済むことを考えると、かなり経済的な媒体だと思う、でも、Sennelierの小さなセット（Blickでは約22ドル）は、本当にお勧めです。

All right, so we're just going to do a bird here, I find that the different brands will work well together, I'll take this this pyrrole red here, I'm just going to do a little cardinal, I think it's very much like using a pastel, the beak in there, now generally I put my background in first, but I just kind of wanted you to see what it's like to work with these.

このピロールレッドを使って、小さなカーディナルを描こうと思うんだ。

Now as you layer up, you'll start to get a little bit more of a painterly effect, you'll start to get more colors blending together, more colors laying down.

レイヤーを重ねるにつれて、少し絵画的な効果が出始め、より多くの色が混ざり合い、より多くの色が敷き詰められ始めるだろう。

If you want to have more color to work with, what you can do, and this is just palette paper here, you can either cut some off like a palette knife, which you can do with the oil pastel as well, or you can even take a brush and if you try to lift it up, you're not gonna get too much, you're gonna take a little bit of paint thinner and you can lift it up off the tip like that as well, oops, I'm spattering because I have way too much on there, but you can get paint that way, you can see I've added way too much liquid on there, but I can mix it in here and get more of a paste going, and it's just like oil paint.

もっとたくさんの色を使いたいなら、これはただのパレットペーパーですが、パレットナイフのように少し切り取って、オイルパステルでもできますし、筆で持ち上げてみても、あまりたくさんは取れません、絵の具の薄め液を少し取って、このように先端から持ち上げると、おっと、塗りすぎて飛び散った。でも、この方法で絵の具を取ることができる。

You can also use these as you're under painting because they'll be dry to the touch next day.

翌日には乾いているので、ペンキ塗りの最中に使うこともできる。

If you wanted to do like the base layers of something and get that get that down on your canvas and then come back in with oil paint you could do that, and if you want to do it start to finish with oil paint with the oil sticks and and work in layers, you could just add some linseed oil like maybe day three or four, start adding linseed oil to your paints instead of the thinner, and that would give you a Now I don't have to peel the skin off any of these because I've just was just using them yesterday, but all you do is, I like to use cloth, but you can use paper towel, but I use a cloth and just kind of wipe off any hardened skin on there.

また、最初から最後まで油絵具で描きたい場合は、オイルスティックを使って油絵具で描き、レイヤーを重ねる、昨日使ったばかりだから、皮をむく必要はないんだけど、僕は布が好きで、ペーパータオルでもいいんだけど、僕は布を使って、固くなった皮を拭き取るんだ。

I'll see if I have any that has a skin on it, this one kind of, I don't know, I'm looking to see if I have any that I haven't, this one maybe, let's see, no there hasn't really formed a skin on that one yet, I'm just trying to see if anything has formed a skin yet, no these are all still pretty soft, I'm just using all, I don't have that many colors so I tend to use them all, but it's a works it works really well, works really well for that, you can mix your colors, I'm not really gonna get into this bird too much, I don't think, on a fence post, yeah I'm not gonna really get into it, but I did want to just kind of show you how they how they work, we could also do like a little a little gradient blend, you can see they're very nice and creamy, blend together beautifully, you can blend with your fingers, you can wear gloves and blend with a gloved finger, you can use silicone tools, you can use brushes, you can use really whatever you like, they're just very very intuitive, and nowadays it's very common for brands to put the pigment information on their products, so you're not you're not guessing what's in something, and that's really nice because you know maybe if you don't want to come in contact with cadmiums or cobalts, it'll say that the these older Winsor & Newton ones I have do not have that information on there, although it does say on the cadmium colors do not spray apply, so it's just good to know what's in your what's in your what's in your materials, and I wouldn't worry about cleaning off the pastels either, if like you're done for the day and there's some grime on there, because you could just let that set up and just peel off that with the skin the next time you use them, especially if you're not going to go right in and use them again right off, but look at that, see how well they blend?

この鳥はまだ皮が形成されていない、色を混ぜることもできるし、この鳥にはあまり突っ込まないつもりだけど、フェンスの柱には突っ込まないと思う、最近は、ブランドが製品に顔料の情報を載せているのが一般的なので、何が入っているか推測する必要がなくなりました、だから、自分の材料に何が入っているのかを知っておくのはいいことだし、パステルの汚れを落とすことについても心配はいらないよ。もしその日の作業が終わって、汚れがついていたとしても、そのままにしておけば、次に使うときに皮で汚れをはがすことができるからね。

So it's a very tactile medium as well, now just to see a comparison I'll grab a couple oil pastels, I don't have them all out because as you can see I have a lot of oil pastels, so I'd have to have a lot of drawers out here to to blend these together if I want to, but I'll grab a few colors just just as an example.

見てわかるように、オイルパステルはたくさん持っているので、これらをブレンドするには引き出しをたくさん用意する必要がある。

I have lots of different brands from cheap to bougie and expensive.

安いものから高級なものまで、いろいろなブランドを持っている。

Pastel colors, the lighter colors tend to blend, colors with a lot of white added tend to blend a little bit better.

パステルカラーや明るい色はなじみやすく、白を多く加えた色は少しなじみやすい。

I can blend some of those together, let's start with this ultramarine color, these are going to be a little bit more waxy, a little bit more gummy, still a lot of fun and you can actually use oil pastels for under paintings on oil paint.

このウルトラマリンの色から始めてみよう。これはもう少しワックスっぽく、もう少しグミっぽくなりそうだ。

I would mix them, I would thin them down with some paint thinner or add linseed oil to them to give them a drying oil, but if you're doing them as the under painting, I don't find that they really mess with anything, they just kind of meld into your other layers, so these are not going to be quite as opaque and covering and pigmented as oil paint sticks, and that's due to the additional, the extra wax, it's got more wax in it I think, but you can see still a very similar feel, a similar product, it's just a little bit different, like I'd probably go over that with the oil stick.

でも、下絵の具として使うのであれば、特に邪魔になることもなく、他のレイヤーに溶け込む感じです、油絵具のスティックのような不透明さやカバー力、色素の濃さにはなりませんが、これはワックスが追加されているためです。

Let's see if I can go over this with an oil stick, now let's see if I can go over that with an oil pastel, yeah that it doesn't the oil stick will stick over an oil pastel better than the other way around it seems like, but and going going back to what I was saying before about the thinner, this does have crud on there, so just excuse that, I can liquefy an oil pastel as well, but it still would be a little bit tacky, but if you go over it or you mix some oil paint into that, then it just morphs in and then it doesn't have issues, so if you just want it for like sketching underneath and you already have oil pastels, I would just use your oil pastels, but if you want something that you can do an oil painting with, the oil sticks are a really nice, a really nice option, so if you have any questions on how to use these, if you want to see some more tutorials with them, let me know.

この上にオイルスティックを塗って、その上にオイルパステルを塗れるか試してみよう。オイルスティックの方がオイルパステルの上によくくっつく、でも、この上から塗るか、油絵の具を混ぜて塗れば、変質して問題はなくなります。下絵のスケッチ用に使いたいだけで、すでにオイルパステルをお持ちなら、オイルパステルを使えばいいと思いますが、油絵が描けるものが欲しいなら、オイルスティックは本当にいいオプションです。

I will have a time-lapse, I probably already have the time-lapse of the fish and chips painting I showed you at the beginning of this video on my YouTube channel, and I do a full-time tutorial for that in Critique Club if you're curious, and yeah, let me know if you have any questions.

このビデオの冒頭でお見せしたフィッシュ・アンド・チップスの絵のタイムラプスは、おそらく私のYouTubeチャンネルにすでにあります。

This is a lot of fun, experiment, if you try some of these out, you don't have that many colors, mix them with any oil paint you already have, mix them with some pastels if you want to as well, the oil pastels rather, and just experiment and have fun because they really are a wonderful medium and they're so much fun, and I hope you them as much as I do, and until next time, happy crafting.

これはとても楽しいよ。実験してみて。もし、この中のいくつかを試してみるなら、そんなにたくさんの色を持っているわけではないだろうから、すでに持っている油絵の具と混ぜたり、パステルと混ぜてもいいよ。
