Such a pleasure to watch, learn and just listen to Lyn D. Watching from Australia. Love this demo.

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

This was an absolute pleasure to do! Thanks everyone for your comments and questions.

[@janewineinger1569]

She makes me want to invest in pastels now......my watercolor years may be behind me. What a wonderful teacher, and what dextrous and painterly 'marks' she makes! Another pastelist uses a trough created by attaching a 2 inch piece of painters tape at the bottom of the paper, bending it up at halfway to create that open pocket.

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

Many thanks Jane. I’m so glad that you found the demo inspiring . Welcome to the world of fun:).

Thank you for the wonderful demo from New Braunfels TX.

[@marywittman7927]

Hi from Ohio. Happy 4th of July! Thank you for this great demo.

[@MaryFosson]

love the last 3 art school live sessions.

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

18:03 Eileen Allen Lux Archival in this case. I also use Fisher 400, Uart 600, Pastelmat and Ampersand Pastelbord

[@ranjanachand9306]

Awesome demo and information😊😊 thanks a ton

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

18:31 Rosemary Clark I don't use fixative. Once the work is finished I get it put through a roller (by my framer) with a covering of glassine to press the pastels into the surface. You could achieve the same thing with a stack of books over a couple of weeks. The work is the framed in general with matt boards under museum quality glass. If I wasn't framing, then they simply get placed between pieces of gatorbord with glassine in between each work and then clipped.

[@chrishayman1747]

Brilliant video. I live in Rockhampton area where Lyn hails from . Thank you Lyn for sharing your expertise. Now I really want to try soft pastel work……

[@lorigibbs9209]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@juliecarmody6773]

I would have love to join pastel live but will En Plein Air on a Island

[@dorothyannfaillace3402]

Watching from Louisiana

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

15:08 Rosemary Clark & 17:52 Paula Pratt Brands : I would always have Art Spectrum Extra Soft Tinted Whites (these come in 2 sets - a set of 6 cools another of 6 warms); Sennelier Paris Collection (120 half sticks) for brights and Terry Ludwig Intensified Darks. There's a whole host of others - Unison, Girault, Holbein, Richeson, Roche, Rembrandt, Great American - to name a few - that I regularly use. I've found over the years that as long as I have good lights, brights and darks I can do anything.

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

11:30 Rosemary Clark. Same pigments as in water color and oils, but very little binder

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

39:11 Wuznotbornyesterda & 39:12 Margie Mae Likens Oakley - many thanks

[@elizabethvcaffrey6353]

We want to learn to make pastels

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

40:22 Rosemary Clark Pastel needs to be used upright on an easel so that any excess dust can fall away. See my comment at 18:31 for what I do after completion

[@fjrouse]

What about the pigments being absorbed by your fingers?

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

I constantly wash my hands. Some use gloves but I find that I just end up with a glove full of sweat. There is a product called Gloves in a Bottle.

[@fjrouse]

@@lyndiefenbach7854 thank you ever so much - your work is beautiful and I was so inspired by the way you didn’t blend it into oblivion - it was blended perfectly while still having strokes. Thanks again!

[@lyndiefenbach7854]

I'm going to work my way through the live chat questions now. KZbin doesn't make it easy :(
