PRO'S and CONS of drawing with colored pencils on PASTELMAT!

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Hello there! How many times have I said 'colored pencils' in this video? Leave your quess below😂

[@Annesrock]

I did not count, maybe 12. I think you said the word the right amount of time ;)

The perfect amount, I agree. You have a pleasant voice, good pacing, you're easy to understand, and your work is beautiful. Thank you for doing this - I am a colored pencil artist and am going to get into pastel, but it's good to know I can fall back into colored pencils if I don't click with pastel as much as anticipated.

[@annetteatkins7164]

That was simply lovely. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I started using colored pencils a few months ago and can’t believe how quickly my skills have come along thanks to generous artists like you posting KZbin videos and sharing your talent.

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Ahh so nice to hear, thank you!! :D

[@mik20241]

Following up on Tammy Stevens comment about using a solvent…This does work nicely on Pastelmat, helps blending and coverage which helps reduce the need of putting down so much pencil. Thus helping negate the “eating up” of your pencils. 😊👍

[@davidjonesfineart6509]

I love your tutorials, you have taught me so much 😊 thank you 😍

[@artgeometrix6346]

I think it looks great this way. Subtle. I like the colours here too.

[@bobnolin9155]

Thank you so much for showing the reference photo! Very helpful to see 'where you're headed.' I'm about to give Pastelmat and colored pencils a try. Do you ever use solvents with Pastlemat? That may help with color vibrancy.

[@ninner196]

My favorite substrate, drafting film is great likewise 😊one can mix media with pastels on Pastelmat. I do it carefully.

[@tammystevens2269]

Have you tried using a solvent with colored pencil, or watercolor paint or pencils on pastel mat? Pastel mat will take wet media but takes a long time to dry.

This was gorgeous

Thank you!:D

Truly amazing 😱😱😱 Beautifully explained 👌🏼👌🏼

Did you use zest it on the rose

[@totodutchie]

Was looking for this. Thanks (or should I say "Dank je wel?) Anyway, definitely will try it out!

[@queenria7]

I just started using Pastelmat for the first time using Polychromos, and I watched a lot of tutorials by artists who love drawing on Pastelmat with colored pencil. They all say that it's not true that Pastelmat "eats up the pencils", because it's the frequent SHARPENING that does this. With Pastelmat you don't need to keep a sharp point like you would on other papers, so the frequent sharpening is not necessary. I find this is true: the pigment seems to come off very easily from the pencil. I don't need to press as hard and I don't need sharp points in order to get the pigment onto the Pastelmat. I love that! Working in this way I don't find my Polychromos get eaten up at all. 😊☀

[@Leontinevanvliet]

I love myself a sharp point all of the time, also on pastelmat. I find my points stay sharp longer on my other paper like canson 1557, just because it doesn't have that texture that pastelmat has. Thanks for elaborating though!

[@queenria7]

@@Leontinevanvliet Ah yes, then I understand. I don't like sharp points even on normal paper because I feel I am wasting my pencils if I keep them sharp all the time. 😄

Hoi Leontien wat een super mooie schilderijen maak jij zo prachtig en zo echt. Jammer dat je filmpjes in het engels zijn. Zo jammer voor mij want ben er niet goed in. Maar ik ga je toch proberen te volgen Dank je wel voor de prachtige filmpjes! Gr. Wilma

[@ailbhetreacy1802]

Juat a question do u usually use pastelmat for drawing animals?

[@rtb03791]

Could you use zest it

[@CanDo20]

wow this is so beautiful!!! i love it..

[@teresasawicka5861]

Can you use pastels pencil on top of colour pencil

[@FineArtforChrist]

If you are still wondering, no I would not recommend using pastels on top of colored pencils. Colored pencils are either wax or oil based so most likely the pastel won't stick to it. It would work fine to use the pastels first. However if you plan on using a solvent, you should separate the pastel layer from the colored pencil layer with a fixative. This way the colored pencil will be affected by the solvent but the pastel will be left alone. This will help to avoid making a paste from the pastels while still giving you smooth blending. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you very much!:)

[@teresasawicka5861]

Than you

[@relevant_nebula]

Beautiful but how come it says Canson 1557 paper in the description but Pastelmat in the title? Please can you also say whether you have used luminance or polychromos?

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Sometimes I forget to edit the descriptions. It's Polychromos like I mentioned in the video:)

[@ninner196]

It is sweet. I can see why you would want to go back and get those clumps of hair together 😊

How do you shaping colour pastil pencil

[@srinibasdora5099]

Can you tell me when will you go live in you tube. I love your drawing and your art skill

[@Martin_Gregory]

How much of the benefits you like is just coming from it being coloured, do you think? Do you like white Pastelmat for coloured pencil?

[@mctorres2679]

Is there any other paper that can match pastelmat without being so expensive? I loved the video I just love orange roses.

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Unfortunately not! The only pastel paper I recommend is pastelmat. There are cheaper options but they don't work half as well for this kind of realism:)

[@mctorres2679]

@@Leontinevanvliet thank you so much for your reply.

[@mik20241]

I agree that Pastelmat is one of the best, but if you’re still learning and wanting to practice your drawing skills and color blending; I’ve found Canson’s grey Dry Mixed Media Sand Grain nice to work on and inexpensive.

[@laetitias2312]

Hi Leontine, which brand of pencils will you recommend? Is it worth to buy a tin of 120 pencils? Thank you. I am thinking to be a Patreon for $7 or $10 ;)

[@Leontinevanvliet]

The polychromos for colored pencils and Stabilo for pastel pencils! Though it's still a personal choice. You don't need such a large tin from the start. But it's totally worth it if you can afford it!

[@loveskating4eva]

I love how you say “pastels”

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Haha thanks! I hope I say it correctly, otherwise I've been saying it wrong for the past 4 years LOL!

Thank you for the video very beautifyl drawing 💛🧡❤ i just want to ask you should i use fixatif with this paper too cause those pitt pastel i use are verry easy to erase and polychromos ! Thank you

[@Leontinevanvliet]

I'm not a fan of fixative! I just make sure to handle the drawings carefully:)

[@3dart586]

You are such an awesome artist,👆👆👆👆

[@gnostie]

Very nice. It’s a pity you prefer wildlife and draw flowers only occasionally. I would have loved to join your Patreon after seeing this rose demo. Maybe I’ll join for a month just for this tutorial.

[@juul7737]

Pastelmat is eating your pencils....tip... make an underpainting with pan pastels 😉

[@Leontinevanvliet]

That's an option, but I like the 100% colored pencil look so I take the pencil eating:p
