Hello. Thank you for a brilliant lesson. Do you usually work flat whilst using pastels, or is that only for filming purposes? And how do you deal with the fallout dust?
@josephhammond36379 күн бұрын
Thanks for kind comment. I’m actually working on an easel, working flat can cause distortions and I don’t recommend it. Soft pastels creates a lot of dust and can be a problem getting everywhere. Pastel pencils which I’m using in this video doesn’t have as much of this problem. If you worry about the dust use a mask and work in a well ventilated room. I hope that helps

What a lovely demo! I have a love/hate relationship with that paper….I cannot get a drawing prepared well enough to draw directly…my underlying drawings can take several hours to finish. Then it has to be transferred to the paper….BUT…finding the right process of transferring has been very frustrating since the transferred image is not well defined….using too light a toned pastel transfer makes it difficult to ‘hide’ the lines, while a darker tone is almost impossible to see. I’m assuming you drew directly on the paper? What suggestions might you have for making the transfer easier and more legible….BTW, I finished a pastel portrait as a gift, but the framer left a blemish on the paper that cannot be corrected. I was devasted since if was a one-of-a-kind painting. It sits in my studio staring at me…luckily I also did the portrait in watercolor so I still had something to give to the person.😊 HA! I looked at a previous video and I think you answered my question? Was the paper sennelier la carte?
@josephhammond363728 күн бұрын
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the video. You’re right the paper can be frustrating at first, I hated it at first. You have to layer the pigment quite thick before it looks good. I use the light gray paper . To transfer the image I use saral transfer paper . When I use a dark paper I use a white saral transfer paper. I also like faber castell pastel mat paper it’s a smooth paper and you might like it better. The paper I used on this piece was sennlier pastel card. Thanks again for watching

Is it correct to summarize the technique as: Use sanded paper. 1) Then lay down color with pastels. 2) Then apply a layer of white colored pencil over the pastel. 3) Then apply colored pencil colors over the layer of white colored pencil.

Hi Joseph ,that’s basically it but remember that nothing goes exactly as planned and you may have to alter things on those occasions. On the paper you can also use Clairefontaine pastel mat it’s a smooth surface . I hope that helps

Your talent shows many, many hours of study. This video, however, assumes a level of skill with pastels. For most pencil artists willing to spend $9 a sheet and $150 - $250 for a set of soft pastels, is curious. Start with pastel pencils, and give a lesson on Strathmore 400 paper . IMHO. Thank you for posting.

Hi Joseph, I enjoy your tutorial video's a lot. I wonder when you use this technique of first pastel and later on colored penci, you don't need to fixate the drawing anymore?
@josephhammond36372 ай бұрын
Hi I’m glad you enjoyed the video . The reason I don’t use fixative is it darkens the values. Then I have to correct the light areas again , so I find better to protect the piece behind glass. Even with the colored pencils over the pastel it can still be damaged. I hope that answered your question. Thanks for watching

Hi thanks for watching , I’ll be glad to explain . First you lay down the darkest value then the mid tone values then the light and highlight. Then you cover the whole shape with white pastel. Next you blend the whole shape with a stomp or paint brush or finger , this will make it so the values you laid down will show thru giving you a translucent appearance. I hope this helped thanks again
