Like the idea of using color temperature contrast in addition to value contrast. Gives the painting more vibrancy. Thanks for another excellent video.

[@LanaBallot]

You are welcome! Yes, I’m a big fan of temperature contrast 😁

Hullo Lana, thank you for sharing this wonderful painting with us! You offer extraordinary voice over instructions giving opportunities for success to even those of us just beginning with soft pastels! I have been watching the tv show The 100 foot wave! Some of the colors in the sky and ocean are quite unique in waves that large and during that time of the year! I have never been off the coast of Portugal during the winter but that is when these big waves come in and they are so gray and dark blue and the blinding white cascading of the foam I think will be very hard to translate into a painting, but I think I want to try! Thank you for your instructions I do believe it will help anyone trying to paint waves!

Hi, Lana. Do you use only oil pastel while painting this waves? I'm really curious because it looks like dry pastel (or hard pastel, dont know the correct name in english). Love your arts, thank you!

[@LanaBallot]

Thanks for being a fan of my work! I only use dry pastels, in any of my pastel works. Hard pastels (those thinner sticks) are technically a variation of soft pastels, they are just made with more binder. I use those in the beginning of the work, for an underpainting and the first layer over it. Dry/soft pastels mix/layer differently than oil pastels, so they wouldn’t mix together well I assume.

[@Omanjubinho]

Seeing your videos made me want to migrate to dry pastel (now i only use oil pastel), although, i'd like to know if i need to worry the painting being washed off the paper with the time. Do I need to apply any fixation product? (i'm afraid the powder possibly going in the ground and being eaten by dog or child)

[@LanaBallot]

@@Omanjubinho Well, welcome to soft pastels then! 😁 It's a great medium! I use mostly sanded paper and it holds on to the pastel pigment very well, so there's no need for fixing really. And yes, keep your art supplies away from children or pets, don't paint in a kitchen. That's true about many art supplies though, not just pastels.
