How to Draw Clouds With Chalk or Soft Pastels

[@thevaliantcrusader]

this guy has a wonderful voice and approach to teaching. not arrogant or condescending in any way, knowledgeable of the subject at hand.

[@digiphot2]

Practice, Practice, Practice! I am 63 now, and I have done a little computational reminiscence, and figured that since 1961, I have done over 10,000 hours of art in various mediums. As a matter of fact, I am a retired Illustrator from the Boeing Airplane Co. And was awarded employee of the quarter for my work on the 737 Maintenance Program, and all this starting with a little girl named Carol in 1960, who sat down with me to show me how to color with crayons! Now that is how it is done!

[@elainemcbride6517]

I have watched dozens and you are by far the very best!!! I appreciate that you don't do undercoats then totally cover them all up. I have just purchased my pastel painting supplies and am ready to go!

[@vredegoor333]

I made my first pastel drawing, according to this turturial. I got nice comments on it :). I never had been drawing with pastels but is so easy. Now I'm practicing to get better and try other stuf. Awsome video!

[@silent_anon404]

Those look amazingly real!

[@Geonet4you]

All seems so real!especially clouds you are soooo good! Thank you for sharing!

[@jeaniebrandt8823]

Fantastic video! I have more confidence now after viewing your tutorial!

[@hyacinthdibley]

I AM SOOOOOOOOOO GOING TO TRY THIS!!! I MUST!!! He made it seem so easy. :( Great job. I enjoyed it a lot. :)

[@rafasc94]

man thanks a lot, brown to the sky never would have thought of it, seriously great and awesome job

[@TylersArtShack]

I always enjoy your videos. As an experienced artist myself, it is always a nice refresher to see how others draw and create works of art.

[@skitlezbrat4528]

I agree with you

[@veronicaroberts4296]

Thank you! I was struggling with clouds and this was very straightforward and helpful.

[@canadaverydry]

Best demonstration I found on KZbin!!!!!!!!!!

[@piratesting]

Lovely clouds and sky.

[@steelart1312]

I have never seen anyone do pastels before and that was amazing. It seems like amfast medium if you know what your doing.

[@bh148]

Steel Art Although it is time lapsed, it's actually very slow.

[@mil7able]

it's so pure you're amazing artist

[@lindseycarter2558]

This was extremely helpful & inspiring! Thank you!

[@marinasiena3426]

I can't fully answer that question, but from what I understand, a lot of it has to do with the brands you're using. I wish they'd told us what kind of soft pastel they used. Same thing with the paper; Different paper retains pastel differently than others. So, if you're using regular printer paper or something from your sketchbook, a lot of the pigment will rub off. Same thing with cheap pastel paper. And make sure you're using a good quality white. I personally buy my white separately.

[@NatPaintThat]

Incredible!!! I’m so excited to try now. You broke it down very nicely 🙏🏼

[@RedsHooded]

Something with a bit of texture to it. I'm new to this as well and have found that watercolor papers works nicely.

[@digiphot2]

Just make sure that it is Acid Free paper! I go down to my local picture framer and get small pieces of matt board that they can't use, to practice on! It is smooth and rough as well, and comes in thousands of colors! Try it! They will give it to you, if you tell them that you are a budding artist and looking for a new surface to try drawing on, with your pastels!

[@DreamScape799]

Beautiful choice of colors =)

[@poulamibasu2991]

awesome...u have a very good way of teaching...thanks

[@jsala08]

how did you know which color to be used? which goes first which goes next.It was just amazing combinding those colors the way you did.

[@barbarav108]

Beautiful. I am inspired to try more clouds in pastel

[@DarkHarvest666]

I used chalk pastels for the first time in years omg it's such a weird medium to work with. I moved my hand over it by accident and BAM all gone.. ;_;

[@kirtiseth5614]

Ya. True. But I love the effect it creates. I am a beginner in art.

[@Salman-ki9nm]

lmfao thats sad

Looks great brother.

that was fun, I was actually able to look at my work closer and it still looked good.

[@aizawasuki]

I love what you did there! I'm just beginning to learn how to use soft pastels and would you tell me what kind of paper you used?? Please reply!

This was helpful even for use with other mediums. I'm new to pastels and I have such a hard time with clouds when painting.

I'm still struggling with them 😖

[@lisasanderson4354]

Thank you so much, really beautiful and a wonderful share of info and love

[@SoFloSoFawny]

I watched it twice then did a practice on bad paper, then on my toned tan. It came out great! Thank you! Is there a reason you are not using pastel paper? By the way, the better quality pastels really are the best for blending. Don't use crappy cheap ones from Michael's. go to Blick or other real art supply stores.

[@BryanEddy09]

wow.that was amazing.nice of you to share! learned a ton.

[@hadiyaniafina]

Absolutely amazing..

[@fall3nange11]

Is there a reasson why I couldn't do this ;-; My white pastels wouldn't appear on the blue background

[@andradaandreea8013]

maybe they are not soft pastels, maybe you have hard pastels. Oil pastels are really fifferent,i think you'd have noticed that. Or maybe you do not use toned paper

[@julietran3897]

+andrada andreea oil pastels have a consistency that does not allow you to blend very eell

[@julietran3897]

+Emmiwy well*

[@ayubmohammed3779]

I used soft pastels,still the white didn't appear on blue

[@IonKattTMCE]

Same. Why white just turned blue and didn’t look like a cloud

still amazed with how colors can come together one at a time to have an awesome end ,...how does one learn which colors to use to create the illusion? like with the mountains...

[@yvette.3075]

Im excited to try this! Is there a way to keep the colored project protected without framing it?

[@susiecoverson]

Nannie on a budget. A friend told me that you can use hairspray as a fixetive. Is this true, also could you use deoderant aswell? Please rsvp!

[@Michael_stars]

extraordinary

[@4najib]

I don't use pastels but i want to try. When your done do you spray something over it to seal or not.

[@TuttoHobby]

Very beautiful art!! Compliments!!

[@mnmIDesigns]

Beautiful as always.

[@sheetalbisht8242]

wow!!!!!seems tat drawing comes live

[@yayagazab4449]

If you spray fixative to preserve your work & prevent smearing, will the fixative kill the highlights or ruin the image? Can you still work the image after letting the fixative dry?

[@dear4710]

So beautiful!!! Thank you so much for all this Beauty !! You help me so much by your great work!!

[@warawiriarts]

Beautiful

[@illusionistdave1]

I love your tutorials, but I wish you'd go into detail on the shapes of the objects and how to achieve those shapes with the pastels. I can mimic the shapes and textures and still don't get the shapes or textures you get for some reason. Idk what I'm doing wrong.

[@PseudoChat]

Do soft pastels work well on regular sketching paper? What kind of surface did you use?

[@debykalush9199]

Beautiful.

[@YoghurtC]

This is wonderful, sooo beautiful

[@yourheadtops]

what chalk brand do you use? the ones i have bought always are too tough to blend.

[@digiphot2]

You will find the experience of playing with both quite different, but colorful as well! Now! Oil Pastels are just crayons on a high fat diet! They blend or smear, as some would liken it, too an overly soft crayon! They don't like to blend on top of previously applied colors...Where as, you can as you seen apply quite bright white on dark blue with Pastel Chalk quite successfully. I prefer Pastel Chalk, because the dust blends smoothly! Buy a set of each and experiment!

[@susankeable6201]

Whoa that was amazing

[@jerrykazeesr5222]

I noticed you used a brown colored paper , but I suppose the texture of the that paper has to do with being able to blend the colors right?

[@TheMockingjay27]

This is beautiful.

[@sanjibroychowdhury2873]

Try it out guys. I did. It was great. Actually, the clue to success here is the blending part.

Thank you for making this, it helped me lots x

[@rxsebvdd]

this is beautiful and so helpful!!

[@Sarcasticool]

I teach soft pastel art and i use Mungyo as a great starter for beginners and they work fine for me. I think the quality of the paper could be more the problem. Proper sanded Pastel type paper helps the blending better. "Bad" paper with no grain or texture will just make a mess, pastel needs to be able to grip the paper.

[@Lola1912]

Yay I have mungyo and I was a little scared they weren't good but they're wonderful

[@sashadsayshi]

A good quality soft pastel as well as the toned paper will help you out.
