Here is a list of Caran d ache rich pastel pencils basic colours I use: numbers...
Primary colours...
Reds... 788-060, 080
Yellows... 788- 240, 530, 035
Blue... 788- 145
Orange 788-052
Purple 788-099
Green 788-719
Carbothello pencils are... Olive Green 1400/585, Burnt Umbre 635, Burnt Sienna 670 , lemon yellow 205, yellow ochre 685 and white 100. I don't use this brand's blues as the lightfastness is very poor. so I use Conti a Paris ones for them,... No10, No 06, No 22 and No46. Also the purple red for the deep shadows ... No19
If you can afford it I would recommend buying the sets as the extra colours would be very useful for clothes and backgrounds and can work out cheaper per pencil... affiliate links below.

I would like to see more seascapes and landscapes. This is beautiful! I love the mist.

[@DavePortersArt]

I w3ill be creating more landscapes soon. thanks for the feedback... thanks for watching. 😊🙏

[@RockyMountainHiGuy]

Would appreciate more landscapes and seascapes please. This was wonderfully informative.

[@DavePortersArt]

Thanks for the great feedback... much appreciated... please check out other landscapes in my channel... Will be cresting more at some point. 👍💕

[@susankelly4911]

Hi Dave, love your paintings. Absolutely brilliant. Definitely I'm d love to see more landscapes. This one is beautiful but my favourite is the one with the sun shining through those trees down that long stretch of road. I can just see me and my little dog walking down that road. The way the suns ray's are shining through those trees. I love the feeling that painting gives me. Just pure peace and joy. Thank you for that. I hope there's going to be more where that came from.. God bless you and your talent. Look forward to seeing more of it. Susan 👍🎨😀🐶🙏🕊💕

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Susan, really appreciate you taking the time to give such generous feedback. I am planning to post more landscapes. I will be posting a cloud study next... clouds are amazing to paint. It was a real joy to paint those sunrays through those trees, love nature and I am excited to be painting a lot more in the future. take care and thank you for the blessings 💕😊🙏

[@colzpendragon2298]

i recognised this view skipping through youtube clips, came to a dead stop at this so shows that it is an amazing rendition of the actual place, i would gladly hang this on my wall, i feed ducks from this spot have vids on youtube of me feeding the ducks from this exact spot. so hats off to this artist. truly amazing.

[@DavePortersArt]

Thanks for letting me know... I was lucky taking the photo that day as the mist on the water was perfect. The fishing wasn't though. Lol. Thanks for the kind words and watching the video. 👍

[@colzpendragon2298]

dont know how long ago since you last visited the pond, but a heads up if you go again they dont allow fishing on here now or the bigger millers pond nearby, but they do on the higher up small ponds.

[@colzpendragon2298]

still looks the same as your brilliant artwork though, as you can see from this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5-tl5qKn5qlntEfeature=shared

[@DavePortersArt]

@@colzpendragon2298 great video... Lily Pads have grown somewhat. Beautiful place... as a kid I use to visit with a gang of friends in the 70's. Grest fun. I have heard that the ponds has the carp virus at the moment... as they have closed my local pond to spot the spread. All the best... thanks again for your great feedback... much appreciated :-)

@@DavePortersArt I sure will keep my eyes open. If someone doesn’t have any pastels would you have any suggestions on where to begin as cost efficiently as possible? I think I would like it but since it’s not a medium I’ve ever experienced I’m not positive if it were something feel successful at. Thanks for your quick reply.

[@maggiecasner9010]

I’m very new to art, I’ve only sketched all my life. I now, for the past year, have a waiting list for my animal pastels. Trying today, for the first time, to do a landscape, and your videos are the ones I loved the best! More detail than the other loose styles, and I’ll be following you! Thank you so much!

[@DavePortersArt]

Thanks Maggie!... appreciate you checking my videos out. I love painting landscape just taken several new spring photographs of Derbyshire in the UK. So will be creating a few more soon. Planing on starting a Seascape soon so be sure to keep a look out. All the very best with your art. 😊🙏

[@katskinnerart1708]

Amazing lessons. Thank you so much for sharing! I'd love if you could do a "mini series" where you focus on specific topics like leaves on trees, tree trunks, sky, clouds, reflections, etc. It's amazing watching you draw large artworks, but they are bit beyond my comfort at the moment. A smaller focus piece would be a great way for me to try and learn from you.

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Kat... thanks for the amazing ideas... will look into you that. I've done the same thing with portraits... but it didn't cross my mind to do the same with landscapes. 👍

[@TRunner4]

Please, please, please do more landscapes. I have been searching for an artist/teacher that did exactly what you are doing. I don't do any portraits and just love the landscape feel that pastel pencils can give to the art. I will reach out to you to chat more about this.

[@DavePortersArt]

Good to hear from you via email David... will create more landscapes at some point. Take care and all the very best with your artwork 🙏🙏

Dave, another wonderful piece. I have followed most of your videos. Every now and then you take a black pencil for eyes or the Lilly pads, but in your pencil lists in all your videos I have never found a black. I have bought several black pencils of all the famous brands, but none are soft and intense. The best I have is charcoal , but I am not sure if I should use that in my pastel paintings. What do you use? Thanks again for a wonderful lesson.

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Willem, thrilled you are enjoying my videos. I use the Carbothello black the more it seem to mix well and creates a natural shadow without looking too dull... for more intense black I have occasionally used the Caran d ache and Rembrandt sticks. All the best... Dave

I only have FC Pitt pencils... will these suffice?

[@DavePortersArt]

They are a little hard to be honest, ok for detail work... I would recommend buying conte a paris they are really great price and very soft and blend easy. Also I would recommend buying a carbothello white and black and the same for caran d'ache... it would make it easier. You can get them as a single pencil rather than buying the whole sets. 🙏🙏

[@janmay6455]

I do use Pastelmat, but am finding that the FC is not interested in blending, only if I have put a layer down of Rembrandt first... have you experienced this before?

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Jan, I have replied to your previous comments saying the same thing... FC are great for detail work but not really perfect for blending... that is why I recommend you treat yourself to a set of conti a paris they are really good value and the lightfastness are superb. Please read my replies to your previous questions as I recommend or suggest more. 🙏
