Fun Using Watercolour Paints, Sennelier Soft Pastels & NuPastels on Canson Mi-Teintes Velvet Paper

I love it all,but that sky is something else,just beautiful.

That is just beautiful, Helen. So much depth. The sky is amazing and the sense of movement in the sea is fantastic. Thanks for

This is such a beautiful piece Helen. I absolutely love the way in which you abstracted the original photo, really clever. The watercolour on the pastel paper was fascinating. Very different to watercolour paper but I loved the way it behaved. It would be interesting to see how the QoR paints moved on this paper. I also think that the first layer of watercolour was a massive player in the final outcome of the piece. And I loved that you used the structure of the pastels for mark marking. I'm going to have to copy this idea 😆 if you don't mind! You definitely need to get on to the print thing because that is how you make money. One painting sold umpteen times 👍🏻. I'm currently teaching myself how to turn my artworks into prints. Learning the whole photoshop business 🤔🤓 And finally, I do hope you got those Sennellier pastels on a good special. If they're anything near as pricey as their oil pastels - ouch! Cheers x

That bank of clouds is incredible. Really has so much depth and glows. Can't believe you did it in an hour! Thanks for sharing.

Very enjoyable. Just the break I needed after rearranging our art space 😊

[@annaolsson5319]

Wow really beautiful, love the mix of softer blended parts with the more expressive marks. It feels very alive.

Lovely. The pastels are so rich and lush. I really enjoyed seeing your works that were available for your market. Wonderful.

[@lisaharner3720]

Wow, Helen! This is a stunning work! I so liked how the pastels filled in where the watercolor left off. Love the sky and water on this! Thanks for sharing your work!

Lovely artwork, how you capture the coastline, you can smell the ocean just by looking at your painting. The painting came out gorgeous, working on the pastel paper really worked out for the better. Keep up the amazing work!

Congratulation for selling so many pieces at your show! Validating your artistic efforts. I too love this watercolor and pastel technique. Some day soon I will give this a chance...Great video!

[@thefrostedblueberryart]

This really is magnificent, Helen. It's like an old master's painting of Cornwall 🥰 It's so soft but still dramatic, I just love it. Please put a high price tag on the original if you sell it, it's worth it!

[@SMCCRADY2]

Wow, helen... yr eye for color & detail is superb & invites the viewer into each scene... quite lovely... ii'm not the mom, but ii am very proud of you...

[@AndreaVanKleef-qs8gn]

Lovely video ❤ Did you spray it afterwards with anything to fix the pastels?

[@beejayem42]

🐨👍

[@triciabennetts6578]

‘Quite happy’ - it’s beautiful Helen! ❤ All those satisfying bright colours and textures 😊 Great idea to use the watercolour first on the pastel mat - I know a lot of pastel artists start with an alcohol wash of colour first, but I prefer the idea of this - feeling inspired! - May not use my best watercolour brushes though 🤔 Thankyou 😊 Would you fix this or just put in a frame under glass?

[@racechick2033]

First. Mwahahaha. Beautiful MM piece - stunning. ❤😊

[@helencryer]

Helen, how much does your average watercolor painting go for at the craft market?
