[@BillHigginson]

Thanks Opus! You are a bunch of really great people!

[@ranjanachand9306]

Very nice and practical and effective techniques.. Thanks for sharing. I especially liked the glass trick 😀

[@tafkaprincess]

I will try this later this weekend. I’ve never done landscapes. This is so pretty. I love how you did the reflections!

[@johnbee1069]

Most excellent teaching and tutorial - subscribed!

[@emmawebber9438]

Hi Bill, many thanks for taking the time to do these pieces, as it was fantastic to see the different techniques applied to the same scene. By doing so I was able to understand the value of each method more fully. Thanks again :-D xx

[@chriseddy7992]

This is just an awesome video. thank you so much for sharing it.

[@deniseshaw3871]

Oh wow..thank you ..sooo many tips....Love you Bill

[@onedominant]

I really wish this nice fellow would arrange a complete drawing course. I'd gladly pay for that, be it book, DVD, or download. He's really good AND really good at teaching. You rarely get both of those in the same package.

[@MamaJacqueroo]

Very rarely do I learn a darn thing from these videos, but this one was VERY HELPFUL. Thank you.

[@thescarletpearl]

i cannot like this video enough! sooo helpful and amazing yet simple techniques

[@theillustratedbird1809]

Excellent demonstration. Beautiful artwork

[@soulreaver2727]

I really like you picture. That's a pretty smart idea using the glass for the reflection. I'm going to have to try that out. Thanks Bill for the post.

[@marywhaley4675]

Sooo many good tips. A big thank you.

[@gerryjohnson294]

Your art brought out an emotional reaction from me. Absolutely wonderful art. You are in my 'favorites' and I can't wait to see what I can create. The tip about the stylus - brilliant.

[@CamilleOlivia]

Thank you SO much for showing these different techniques, one after the other. I am very new to pastels (I have used mostly graphite, and a bit of colored pencil) so I was looking for ideas on how to use the pastels. Your techniques are terrific! I can't wait to try out the different variations and see what I come up with. Also, the "trick" with the piece of glass....BRILLIANT! Thank you again. Cheers!

[@GraphicatCreations]

Thank you! Some awesome tips in this video and even more inspiration!

[@lyndagenet3170]

WOW. WONDERFUL TECHNIQUES. LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. SO EASY TO FOLLOW AS I AM JUST STARTING PASTELS. THANKS

This is amazing. I have just discovered my talent for landscape drawing (drawing in general), and graphite pencil is my favourite. I have learned so many amazing techniques from this video... Thank you so much! I can't wait to get more pencils and other equipment to try out your wonderful techniques. :)

[@suemar63]

I love what you do too! Beautiful stuff--you are so talented and make that look so easy. Thanks for taking the time to help others learn. It's much appreciated!

[@daveshort302]

Thank you so much for the quick informative video! I’m finding that the more experienced I’ve become, the less I know!

[@timelessmemories5150]

[@小櫻-p3u]

BEAUTIFUL

[@katietapia9371]

I really love your work! Your art makes me even more inspired to learn more about techniques. All my life I've been using a #2 pencil when it came to drawing. Now I'm fortunate to acquire my first set of graphite, charcoal, and pastel pencils. Thank you for sharing this video! :)

[@anthonynguyen9779]

I really like this technique. Thank you for sharing!

[@simaabedini843]

Love your work

[@RachelDeRosier010894]

Thank you! My art teacher showed your video to us in class! Now I know how to properly use my dry media utensils rather than just scribbling on paper! :)

[@janiebobs]

Thank you for sharing so many techniques..I found this really clear and informative!

[@ooXChrissieXoo]

Thanks for the demonstration, it's great! I really like this kind of drawing, compare to what most art instructors would teach. They seem to be liking the very realistic, detailed, burnished or vibrant drawing. My teacher used to be picking on my unburnished drawing, but I really just like to leave the tooth of the paper showing through. It was tough, because I had to burnish it to get a grade, and now I have problem with my self leaving unburnished drawing, even though I meant for it to look a bit raw and unfinished.

[@janetaylor8928]

what kind of paper are you using ?

[@opusartsupplies]

Hi Anouar, Bill is using Strathmore 400 Bristol Smooth paper for the the drawings in Graphite and Coloured Pencil. For his Pastel drawing, he used Strathmore 400 Pastel Paper. I have included links below so you can look into each paper a bit further. Strathmore Bristol Smooth: store.opusartsupplies.com/sagro/storefront/store.php?mode=browsecategory&category=358 Strathmore Pastel: store.opusartsupplies.com/sagro/storefront/store.php?mode=browsecategory&category=376 Thanks for your question and good luck!

[@simaabedini843]

What was that tool you used to make marks before gravité pencils ?

[@SahilSharma-lj4xy]

amazing........

[@InUterusLimbo]

[@aman4peace]

[@kattobin6764]

do you use anything at the end to protect your work? anything I've sprayed into pastel has ruined and light color I used

[@opusartsupplies]

Hi Kat - Bill uses Krylon Workable Fixative Spray to protect his pastel and graphite drawings. You can find a full list of the materials he uses here: opusartsupplies.com/drawingwithdrymedia Hope this helps!
