Dave ,I have been an artist since I was 16 years old. I am now 76 and have my own studio and sold hundreds of paintings, portraits, wildlife etc. I want to get back into pastels, but the pencils I bought I don't like, the white will not cover, should I invest in the pencils you use. Sorry to be a bother, but I love Your work.--Thanks so much...Jerry@@DavePortersArt

Just subbed here. Been using oils, acrylics, charcoal, colored pencils, for years. But sorta burned out and unsatisfied to be honest. Really been hoping to fund a different medium. And lo and behold, I think through your channel, I found it. Pastels! Looks so attractive to use. So a question on blending. … you only use your fingers or what? And…. Do you start with white for most portraits? Then start glazing the tones? Then blending from there? Anyway. Thank you
@DavePortersArt8 ай бұрын
Awesome! Thank you! Pastels are great fun to work with, you can use them painterly or detailed. I sometimes use a cotton bud and a colour shaper for details... the more videos you watch on my KZbin channel the more you will be aware of how I use them. I love to work on a grey surface, yes you have sussed out my procedure, white first to get the texture and glaze then repeat until the desired results appear. All the very best with your pastel journey... thanks for watching! 🙏

You seem pretty experienced, do you mind if I upload a short video (10-15 sec)of a oil pastel painting i recently finished on my KZbin channel so you can tell me your opinion about it?I am pretty much self taught as a painter .

How do you spray this your work ? Or do you spray it to make the work permanent?
@DavePortersArt7 ай бұрын
Hi, I don't spray my work as it dulls the subtleties down. I either wrap them for storage in glassine paper or frame them under a mount. 🙏
@vc52438 ай бұрын
Do you ever do portraits with full pastel sticks, not just pencils? Curious about your technique with those.

Yes, but I am an acrylic, opaque water color and oil artist, it's been years since I dabbled in pastels. What pencils and board do you recommend ? I just need brilliant whites and colors. I'm sure I can do this. My pastel of a basset hound ,and portrait of Elvis Presley took first place in a competition many years ago, which was done with sticks. Thanks Dave---Jerry
