Thank you Antoinette... really appreciated. You are welcome ☺🙏

I’ve watched lots of pastel tutorials now but never seen anyone use colour like you do. It’s absolutely fascinating

[@DavePortersArt]

It is the same approach I have for water colour and oil painting... just adapted it a little to work with pastels... keeping the palette simple helps one to understand how colours mix. ☺🙏

IF this is the "easy way" to mix skin tones, I don't think I want to know the hard way! LOL Brilliant video as always Dave!

[@DavePortersArt]

Hahaha... its only practice :-) thanks Jill! much appreciated :-)

[@MsTigergirl1]

Brilliant tutorial Dave 👍🏻,you make it look so easy 😊. It inspires me to have a go too ,I really want to do portraits,just can’t get the skin tones and the eyes right ,I always get wonky eyes 😂

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Chrissy... portraits can be challenging... I love a challenge so probably that why I love the subject... it's that second eye... can be a nightmare to get right when we first start 😀 All the best 👍

[@tomguidry8591]

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to share your talent and techniques with soft pastels. With your recommendation I just purchased thd Caran D'Ache Genere set of 40. I've used the Unison sticks and the Faber Castell Pit Pastels. I'm very new to painting and looking foreward to watching all of your videos. Do you offer additional and even more detailed instructions online?

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Tom... you are very welcome... thrilled that you are finding value in them. They are beautiful pencils you will love them for sure. I am in the middle of editing videos for my Patreon page... Will hopefully be launching it end of Jan... having a few tech issues I am finding solutions for at the moment but should be up and running soon. 👍🙏

Hi Dave can you please do a young Elvis Presley

[@DavePortersArt]

Thanks for the suggestion Peter... Will give that serious consideration 💕🙏

[@spencerstokoe99]

hi dave, another stunning likeness, i have only just started drawing mainly in coloured pencil, i have just tried using complimentary colours for shading up until now i have been using different shades of grey i am finding a little difficulty in blending pencils any tips please

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Spencer... not familiar with coloured pencils, what i have observed I would think the method would still apply... just have to find the way by experimenting. :-)

[@anjacobs9254]

Do you use Faber Castel Pitt Pastels too? I have these and CarbOthello. Can I use those for the blue and purple colors?

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi there... I've not used that brand before. Faber Castel is great quality... so as long as the light fastness is good you would be fine. 😊🙏
