I've seen a lot of clouds, and reflections, as a 56-yr old artist, but yours tops all the others, I've so enjoyed the tutorial videos, and am going to study everything you do-enjoyed the music, too...

You should have did a straight-on shot at the end of the video. It looks so beautiful, your use of color is remarkable. Love it!!!

[@staceyred1]

beautiful!

[@vivi87ification]

fantastique!!.....

[@lesdarlow]

@darrenk1975 thanks for your comments. I basically have a Frames, mount and glass waiting to just drop it in, The only other way is to fix using fixatives from art shops. £8.00 a tin. or use hairspray but a cheap one, finer spray and less oil. fix as you go through painting. The problem with fixing is that it changes the colour dramtically so you have to allow for it in your original compostition. I find that too hard to paint using different contrasts.

[@freebymeb]

beautiful !!

[@aquonixinfo3840]

stunning

[@EMOdies125]

that is really amazing im using oil pastels in art class there so hard for me to work with my clouds look really bad but you make using oil pastels look so easy

[@lesdarlow]

Will do, your kind words inspire me

[@cyrilharris]

@cybrid1940 i Zizi, sorry for delay , you know pastel brands do vary but i put mine on so hard i really let go . they just break up so easy .... But im a passionate painter and most of my painting only last 30 - 50 minutes.... Pastels are scattered all over the studio as i paint very quickly

[@Tedsta101]

This is perfect.

[@johannebleau4791]

[@outthere09]

how do you keep your highlight colors so pure and bright when layering them on top of darker colors without losing the brightness of the highlight color?

[@annalecroix305]

[@lesdarlow]

[@lesdarlow]

[@lesdarlow]

Cheers as we say in UK - Have a castlemaine 4x for me.

[@lesdarlow]

i use Unison bu they are all very similer some are more light resistant. i prefer harder pastels - some ar every soft too soft and just break

[@nelstar14]

[@lesdarlow]

Hi, thank you so much for your kind words. How to Pastel Demonstration Evening Sky by Les Darlow on You Tube

[@AL9862]

brilliant

[@jmmabram]

Beautiful and surreal. what brand pastels do you use and what paper. I am just introducing pastels into my watercolor paintings and am liking pastels pretty well. bought an inexpensive 10 pack, but dont like the colors. need REAL color. Thanks so much for posting this video. Inspiring.

[@azzouzmm6491]

man u got MAGIC HANDS i wish to have 10 % off what u got i hope u give some totur to help us

[@lucianoyannk]

Do you use Mi-teintes (Canson)? The smooth side or the side with more texture? Beautiful work!!!!

[@amirvereget]

what kind of pastels do you use ? great job that is amazing!!

[@AnKlMa]

wow, this is too good! did u use a reference photo, or did u come up with the composition? Do u have any tutorials?

[@roslin45]

Wow ! That's so inspiring, thank you so much - love the music too, what is it?

[@Beautifullifewelive]

Les, You sure do have the ability to create dramatic skies and know where your light is! Your work is absolutely Stunning!! I know you use Unison Pastels (they are wonderful to work with) and Canson Mi Tsien (rough side) papers. However, is it possible you use a different brand of White?, Like maybe Schmincke? I have difficulty getting my whites so white! Thanks for giving us your beautiful work!

[@lesdarlow]

Schmincke white is one of the best whites ever.. I love Schmincke Pastel and have a full set. I use them carefully trying not to blend with my fingers. The softer pastel needs a little more control. whereas harder pastels are more manoeuvrable

[@Beautifullifewelive]

So you use the Unison in your videos? How do you get it so bright? Thanks for replying to my comment so fast.

[@shrumpiedoodles]

I wish this was in real time

[@carlosmouraperestrelo5527]
