Faber Castell Gelatos vs Tempera Paint Sticks: Unboxing & Swatching
I'm unboxing Tempera paint sticks and comparing them with Faber Castell gelatos. Then I'll swatching both sets of paint sticks and seeing how they behave. AlsoI'll share some examples of my sketchbook mixed media pieces which I've created using the gelatos. Then I'll create a lovely floral piece using both the tempera, gelatos and colour Caran D'ache pencils.

"....no mistakes....only opportunities to learn and grow...." I love this. Play is my game. I just loved watching this. Thank you.
“Made for kids rather than someone with an art supply problem” 😂
I just can't help myself
As someone with an art supply problem I felt that deeply. 😅😅
😂 How many of us fit that profile?
I bought 60 Kingart and have been trying to make art with tempera sticks alone. The brightness and transparency have been a problem. You've given me some ideas for mixed media and maybe I should try a gray or tan paper.
I appreciate the attitude of “How these are useful.” As opposed to just like or dislike. Good or bad. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this. Really useful.
Beautiful sketchbooks ❤ Interesting to see how the gelatos and tempera sticks perform - Thankyou so much for sharing! I look forward to seeing how you create your printed textured grounds 😊
I ordered the tempera sticks just now based on how other media works with it. Excited to try them with my gelatos! Oh crap…I just bought more art supplies 😂
I have my gelatos for many years and I loved them! It‘s pure beautiful pigment and they won't be empty.
I totally agree!
Every time I watch your videos, I have an impulse to take out some art supplies and play with them :) And I do! :D Those gelatos colours are just perfect and both gelatos and tempera sticks look like they're very fun to work with.
Have fun Rodi !
So fun!
oo i've never heard of gelatos and tempera paint sticks! so cooll - thanks for sharing ohn mar!
You are so welcome!
Loved this one it was so inspiring and it just had the creative juices flowing!😂 Thanks for sharing! Do you have a video of how you make the texture background on the gelli plate? I have to admit I loved that texture you made and am brand new to gelli, but I can't wait to watch how you do it! Thanks again!😊
Beautiful art as always!!❤
Wonderful!
Ooh, might have to add these to my very long wishlist! I too have an art supply problem :D
I’ve heard gelato are being discontinued so they might be really difficult to get hold of. I am still hunting around for alternatives.
I love seeing how you might use the tempera sticks! I bought them a while ago after seeing them in a Sandi Hester video where she got them as a fun gift. But, I couldn't quite figure out how to use them without them looking too bright, but you did it! Gorgeous florals! Cant wait to see more!
You are so welcome & thank you
I love the shuttle art tempura sticks, but they are super bright! They also make a 20 piece pastel set which is a great addition for more subtle applications
Good to know!
Great video, thanks Ohn Mar. I like that you are so open minded about using different art materials, and not too quick to dismiss cheaper art supplies. I also use Tim Holtz Distress Crayons, which seem very similar to Gelatos (although I only have the opaque ones to compare to). They come in some nice earthy tones and readily available (Art shops & Amazon!). Makes me want to get mine out for some messy play!
You are so welcome!
lovely video! I love paint sticks!!I own a set from the brand playcolor. I especially like that they dry up in the end making them easier to use in a sketchbook opposed to oil pastels for example.
Thats great to know
Ohmygod so temptedddd 😂❤ i love bright colours so this might be it for me haha
Go for it!
These look fantastic, might have to give these a go ☺☺
Hope you enjoy
I recently just got all the gelatos, now I want all the tempuras. Unfortunately the translucent gelatos are discontinued, so that is probably why you paid so much on eBay. I got mine from a online craft store in the US at regular price. The tempuras made your artwork pop and it turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Keep creating 💛💙💜
It’s a shame the Gelatos in Europe / Uk are tricky to find & very expensive as they are very portable for location sketching. Folks are chiming in with suggestions for alternatives so will keep looking
Ohn Mar, how do you store your art supplies so you remember what is where? I think i simply forget about an opportunity to use and art supply because it’s not in front of me and organized not in the best way…
Very interesting to see this excellent demonstration, Ohn Mar, as have often wondered about how those two products compared and differed. I could see the paper in your sketchbook was pilling when you added water, tho’…..is that right, or was I mistaken ? Always look forward to your videos, and am especially enjoying your classes on Skillshare . I procrastinated for so long before I joined 😂😂
The paper in the royal talens sketchbook doesn’t take much abuse. I find that it pills very easily. But the upside is that it’s a cheap cheap sketchbook to play in and I think it’s great for these experiments although Ohn Mar has created the most gorgeous paintings in hers :-)
@@debbiewhalen9645 ... Thank you for responding, Debbie 🤗 Yes... most definitely, Ohn Mar's artwork in that book is delightful !
it was that particular sketchbook which is made for mixed media rather than watercolour, so yes you did see piling of paper
I have a few sets of Gelatos and have tried for years to complete my sets…impossible I’m afraid. I still need 23…😅
on camera they look like oil pastels
I have the translucent set of gelatos which I also purchased regular price from a small craft shop her in the US. After your video I checked out shuttle art tempura sticks and found they have a pastel set of 18, so I ordered those. I love gelatos but unless you activate them with water (or baby wipe) I find they never dry and remain tacky and can smudge for quite some time, which is tough in a sketchbook. I hope these tempura sticks dry a little faster
This is great to know - Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the video. It's beautiful but too much plastic for me.
I understand
Unfortunately Faber Castell no longer makes the Transluscents…cannot find them anywhere 😞 so odd because the colors are beautiful.
No wonder they're tricky to find
If you’d like to use tempera sticks with colours that are a bit more muted, I can recommend Kwik Stix. I still prefer the gelatos over the tempera sticks though
As I'm based in UK they're tricky to get hold of here
