[@dogyaltshering9653]

I have just started using pastels and I discovered your video and I am amazed how you achieve such realism using just a few colors. I have only done a few animal portraits. I have done a number of charcoal and graphite pencil portraits but I am considering starting using pastels for people portraits as well. I am inspired by your videos and hope you continue posting new videos .

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Dogyal, pastels are a great way to understand colour... they are fun to use. Thrilled you are inspired by my videos... more to follow. 🙏

[@DaBottomLine]

I love your videos watching you made me better thank you. I have a question to ask. When you finish with u ok your work what do you use to steal it? Is it ok to use fixable spray?

[@DavePortersArt]

Thanks for the love! I don't fix my work as it dulls the subtleties. What I do is wrap the work in glassine paper for storage... or I frame the work under mount and glass. Thanks for watching 😊🙏

مرحباً بك

[@popescuremus3836]

Frumos.Felicitarii..

[@DavePortersArt]

îți mulțumesc pentru cuvintele amabile

[@jennypardini5814]

Dave love your work I have subscribed I normally work with Coloured pencils Polychromo’s etc with Animal portraits I want to learn human portraits and need to buy pastel pencils and have the opportunity to buy 60 Fabre Castel pit pastels I did see you use different pencils .Dave what’s your thoughts on the Pit pastels Kind regards and thank you 🙏

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Jenny, Pitt pastels are great if you like to work tightly... put it this way I have the 60 set of Faber Castel pencils and only use the white as I prefer the CarbOthello as they are chalkier and can be applied loosely or detailed. It is all a matter of personal preference. I have created the hedgehog drawing just using Pitt pastels and they worked well... they are great for animal work... alot of browns and earth tones. I feel that I have just got used to working the way I do. Here is the link to the hedgehog. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4CznGadbd-qprM All the best 🙏

[@followyourheart2310]

Dave what paper is ideal for pastel pencil and pastels

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi... any paper that has a tooth to hold the pastel pigment would work. I prefer a sanded surface... Pastelmat is magic to work on. 🙏

[@angelaladdomada7401]

Complimenti 👏 come conserva i disegni? Usa un fissativo per proteggere i colori? Grazie

[@DavePortersArt]

Grazie, avvolgo con carta glassine se conservo il mio lavoro, o cornice con una montatura sotto vetro. 🙏
