[@user-tn9ks3hj7f]

Love your art works!! I love Canson Mi- Teintes too, really the best paper for pastel painting.

[@bettysmith84]

Beautiful! I was thinking you might place a little of the sunlight colors on the mountainsides! That's one of the things I remember from many years in Alaska..., How the evening sun would light the mountains snow so beautifully! I know they're not the focal point, but would dearly love see one done in that way! The painting is absolutely incredible and I love it!

[@DebbieDickMarlene]

+Betty Smith that sounds good.

You are so welcome!

[@WendyMoule]

Beautiful work! The music goes very well with the painting. What is the music called?

[@gkfrandsen7739]

Beautiful painting. Where do you get these large pieces of pastel paper?

[@cynthiaward5750]

This is the 2nd video I am finding of yours Les and it's just so very beautiful ! I have the paper and will start up a new pastel soon as I am done with the one I have up on my easel. What are SAA Pastels...I guess I best search...thought other video said Mt Vision - other pastel artists say: don't blend....but I WANT TO BLEND ! (and do) so find you do too, that's my comfort zone. Do you use other pastels as well ? I have Schminke/TL/Sennelier +MtV - I love love love the choice of colours you employ. I've only done sunsets in oils. But now that will change. Hope to see more of your videos, Thank you ! Cynthia

[@lesdarlow]

I PREFER unison pastels and Rembrandt.. I don't like them too soft.. I am too heavy handed

[@reneekroyer5104]

Hi Les. I live in Southern California and would love to try one of your zoom meeting workshops for pastel painting. Can you give me information on that? Thanks, Renee

[@lesdarlow]

best to drop me and email at [e-mail] - Ill be looking into to it next week and setting a date.. probably a three hour session.

[@adnanalam2006]

I'll take me more hundred million years to draw like him, still not sure.

[@malcfound7000]

just beautiful and tranquil music to accompany. can I ask what sort of pastels your using as I've tried with oil pastel sticks and they don't seem to blend well. ty and congrats on your beautiful work

[@sunandamukne8255]

These are soft pastels

[@paulamorgan8030]

I love watching you put pastel to paper. It's so relaxing to watch and looks so easy. Are your landscapes made up or from places visited because they're very inspirational? Keep up the great artwork

[@lesdarlow]

HI Paula, thanks , some a made up but most are places I have visited

[@paulamorgan8030]

@@lesdarlow thank you for your reply. I love your snow scenes. I'm going to try one for my own home. Thanks again 👍

[@stormcorrosion176]

Les Darlow i appreciate your blending and color usage, best wishes and regards, thank you for helping me see movement, light, and color more in my paintings.

[@izz3599]

Did you use any fixative to set the pastel in before adding more detail?

[@rachanavelidandla4477]

This is so amazing ❤️ which paper did you use and which company brand’s pastels did you use?

[@avsr24]

Awesome work.. So inspiring.. Wish it was little slow and commentary explanation as a guide to learners like me.. Anyways grt painting

[@lesdarlow]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jeantemplemeyer366]

Thank you for the beautiful picture and great music,Duran,Duran.What pastels are you working with?

[@lesdarlow]

sorry for late reply/ unison pastels

[@pjlee8046]

Gorgeous. Do you spray pastel after?

[@lesdarlow]

nooooooooooo

[@reneekroyer5104]

Love your work, Les. Do you offer a patreon page where I can see real-time tutorial videos of your landscapes? I'm a beginner and I just today found your KZbin videos.

[@lesdarlow]

Hi Renee, I don't have patreon although I have a few project (how to) on my website at www.lesdarlow.com

[@hannah0825]

What type of paper do you use? Can I use my own sketch pad on this? :-)

[@lesdarlow]

Canson Mi Teintes Touch, a micro abrasive primer... its a special paper... you can try on any,. pastel needs touch to adhere to

[@sylviakeller1043]

I can't tell from the video what tools are you using to apply the colors?

[@lhenriquepa]

you should speak as well!

[@lindaarmstrong1565]

Can u go slow enough to try and give others time to see what u are doing is this the hole thing trying to let people see how u are doing this ur going just to fast for some of us to keep up.

[@ikeart.rellatab]

May i ask if its toned paper or just primed it with dark pastel

[@lesdarlow]

Hi, yes it is toned a grey blue primer
