Claire Holoway Adult Colouring - easy pastel vignette backgrounds

[@michelinelavoie2086]

Claire, don’t blow your pastels, not good for you breathing, just shake off the excess in a garbage container on the floor next to you. You don’t want those particles in the air. I love what you are doing, love your accent as always. I am finding that I was too careful in applying the pastels, you have shown me I can press some and get an outstanding outcome.

I love your choice of colours for the painting, and your background is so beautiful! I knew that technique but I never thought about using it. Your demonstration makes me want to try ! 😘 I love your metallic paint set too ! Thank you for sharing, Claire! 😘💕💕💕

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

Excellent! What a great technique! Thank you!

[@lisarobinson9621]

Claire, this was an absolutely wonderful demonstration of incorporating hard pastels and watercolor into an image. I would love to try this method soon. Thank you for sharing this with us. It brings joy and hope to us hobbyists; “joy’ in knowing what is possible and gives us “hope” that our projects will be mini masterpieces. Lisa🕊

Awesome!

[@pamcarr4963]

such a great technique, definitely going to try it and I am going to get myself a pencil eraser, and see if I can get some of these paints to Austalia for reasonable cost - thank you so much for the live video, it was really fantastic

[@ClaireHoloway]

pam carr you’re so welcome. Thank you for supporting the live 😍

[@clairemoore2753]

I love the video, I love the colours, I love the sloth. Would I need to use a fixative at the end? I cant quite work out what I would do to remove the pastel if I were to use coloured pencils instead of paint, and if the pencils work over fixative spray? Many thanks for this tutorial.

[@ClaireHoloway]

Hi! If you google pastel fixative spray on Amazon you’ll get plenty of choices - just trial it on a spare piece of paper first and use it very sparingly. Pastel can be lifted fairly easily with an ordinary eraser xxx

[@kellieklupfel1612]

I’d like to see you do this again please. Could you please give details for the eraser ✏️.

[@ClaireHoloway]

Kellie KLupfel it’s a Faber Castell pencil eraser - you can get them quite cheaply on Amazon :)

[@linesymons9488]

Beautiful! Would you recommend workable spray on the pastel if you want to finish the page with regular colored pencils? Thank you Claire!

[@ClaireHoloway]

Line Symons I’ve always used Krylon :)

[@mariaflor9279]

Alegria, alegria. Gratidão.

[@ClaireHoloway]

maria flor hoping the technology works!

[@dpfreeman1]

Thank you so much

[@dollscott7990]

Could you do this with oil pastels Claire?

[@ClaireHoloway]

Doll Scott hi! Tbh I don’t think so. They don’t handle the same. And they’re very smelly 😅

[@danielvillalobos1718]

Hi Claire! Can you use watercolour pencils over soft pastel? Or the water will take over the pastel?... And if you use a sealer over the soft pastel and then use the watercolour pencils?... Thanks, hugs from Costa Rica. Pura Vida

[@ClaireHoloway]

Hi ! I think it’s a bit risky. Watercolour over the pastel would turn it blotchy I think. I have never tried it over sealed pastel. If you’re going to give it a try, try on plain paper outside of your book first as a test.

[@ginatroutman7004]

What did you draw the stems of the flowers in with plz??

[@ClaireHoloway]

Gina Troutman I didn’t go over them honey - they were already on the design.

[@torisnyder1342]
