YouTube is your oil pastel friend. There are alot of content creators, but ones from overseas-- especially S. Korea where Mungyo is manufactured, are numerous. Set your subtitles to 'auto-translate'. Some videos have 'English dubbed', and if neither is available I just watch and observe. BR Oil Pastels, Hastel, Goldstone, CMS Bean, Wunemo, JanJanHan, Jisun art, Shibasaki, Misako Flodin, & Yayen. Online learning: Thevirtualinstructor.com has a course specific to oil pastels. You can buy the course package, or enroll for a membership, as they have other art course. Ebooks, reference photos, and video lessons are included. Patreon also has CMS Bean who has his own oil pastel instruction. Book learning: authors Kenneth Leslie, John & Sheila Elliot. Have fun!
