Pastel Portrait Tips... How to Paint / Draw Realistic Sunglasses and daylight skin tones... Tutorial

In this narrated Pastel Portrait tutorial I discuss how to Paint / Draw Realistic Sunglasses and daylight skin tones using pastel pencils. Sunglasses and daylight skin tones can be very awkward to draw and paint, check out what approach I take to overcome this issue. I openly share my techniques and tips for pastel Portraits. There is slowed down Real time footage in places so you can take a closer look.
My passion is to help you to create realistic and soulful artwork. If you found this video useful please give it a like. Be sure to comment and say hello and let me know what kind of videos you'd like to see

[@antoniodlcruztocino1282]

Hi Dave. Could you tell me what type of fixative you use for your works. Regards, and thank you very much.

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Antonio... I don't use fixative as it dulls the colours and subtleties. Pastelmat is a magic surface as the the pastel pigment clings to it. Once under glass and framed it will be protected from smuding. With these studies I wrap with Glassine paper to protect them. 🙏🙏

[@claritzairosario68]

Wow! Amazing!!!ヾ(*’Ｏ’*)/

[@DavePortersArt]

Thank you so much Claritza! 😊🙏
