No.1 Tree tutorial on entire KZbin ❤

Nice to watch you, and listen to your explanations, GREAT!

Hi , I was trying to find out about pastel paper I ended up watching this wonderful tutorial on painting with pastel. I can’t describe how happy I am to find this site. I think you are a very kind and generous person, a true artist with a kind heart. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

@@elmiraojaghian4741 thank you. Clear gesso works as a primer. Fine sandpaper that you can buy in hardware stores is also very good.

[@Chordially]

Very clear way of explaining what you do and how. Very instructive for me. Thank you.

Almost 5 hours of drawing a single tree, amazing patience, with stunning result. 4 or 5 hours drawing is really intimidating for the impatient.

I've been following your videos for a while and the more I watch, the more and more compelling I feel to start painting again. The paintings you do is simply excellent and your explanations especially helpful. I know pastels, painted for many years after art school, then life took over and now I'm worried about becoming a beginner again. Have you ever painted a pillar rocks in a deep ravine? Where I live, the nature is magnificent with ravines, mountains, glaciers and active volcanoes that regularly erupt at the moment.

I'm subscribing....I'm big fan of pastels. Hope everybody knows Jason Morgan 🙂

[@nejjamzohra2709]

Magnifique

[@MarcusPocus]

❤❤❤ wonderfully mesmerizing and i have learned a lot.. i should start my learning here, i spend to much time on "canson" papers not realizing that the support need a "sanded touch".. and your drawing (with all those details) is teaching to me more than the last 2 weeks spent (and stalling) on "details" missing in my head.. this video is underestimated!!!

[@beckyquick4025]

AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mariannegentry8585]

Beautiful, love your work.

[@marcusroth4272]

Great job. Its interesting how you start with background and then layer the tree over the sky

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

Yeah, I honestly didn't know what would be better.

[@gibson2623]

Very nice work

[@lmac1325]

You always make it look so easy and it's always so well done! I'd like to see one of your portraits using the clear gesso.

[@MihaelaRizon]

Inspirational!

[@johnartgallery347]

like oil painting!!

[@jolynntemplin7227]

Love watching you! The sandpaper is very interesting but can't find the larger pieces or lighter colors. I got a dark gray so far but not to big though!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

It's very useful.thank you

[@josephgioielli]

You can also add baking soda to the gesso, or use acrylic medium and baking soda. They work quiet well.

[@lilyunderthesun]

thanks so much

[@newgordonia4564]

Nice work as always. Do you use the Koh-i-Noor soft pastels or the extra soft pastels and is there much difference between the two.

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

just regular soft pastels I guess.

[@leftyfourguns]

I think the discrepancy between the pastels and pencils is simply that pastels have larger pigment particles than color pencils do. So the color pencil particles could be getting deeper into the tooth of the gesso or being dispersed too much to have a large coverage. They might need more layers than the pastels do. Or maybe try sanding the gesso with a very fine sand paper.

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

Not sure what the difference is, but I've tried sanding and it didn't really help much. I might have to look into it more.

[@ratatoskr1069]

Isnt pastell based on chalk?! I think that is why it blends well with the gesso, because that is chalk aswell as far as I know. The coloured pencil are probably too different a material to blend well with the gesso.

[@thesultanmerchant]

what is the gram per square inch of paper used?

[@shonalikocharekar]

Wow…. that was fantastic I’m definitely going to try that Now my question is - I hope I can roll the artwork once I’m done and that wouldn’t hinder the artwork I’ve always shipped my artworks rolled up Also I normally fix it after I’m done Will fixative work on the artwork with gesso as the base ?

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

@@shonalikocharekar gesso makes paper stiffer. I'm not sure what'll happen if you roll it.

[@shonalikocharekar]

@@MiroslavSunjkic thank you for the reply I guess I’ll have to try it and find out for myself

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

@@shonalikocharekar if you work in pastel a lot I'd recommend UART sanded paper but this is not a bad alternative.

[@caroljones4968]

Wow!!!

[@anniedarkhorse6791]

How many layers compared to Pastelmat or similar quality fine sanded paper?

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

I honestly don't know, but the tooth gets saturated relatively quickly.

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

I thought colour pencils are always from light to dark unlike pastels!🤔

[@kyoglesage]

I’m a lttle confused. I watched your ‘small study’ videos where you demonstrated drawing clouds and waves and a ‘wet sand’ and rocks landscape - all done with coloured pencils on Fabriano paper (sand colour) primed with gesso. The drawings were fabulous and the colours vibrant. There didn’t appear to be any muddy colours or difficulty applying more than one colour. So hearing your disappointment with the performance of coloured pencil on gessoed paper in this video seems odd. Is the paper much heavier than the Fabriano? Why such differing results with gesso here? Absolute beginner looking to learn, learn, learn.

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

I laid it on too thick

[@ericwilliams2122]

sanded paper is a rip-off ..........try a small sponge roller😜😉😜
