I agree so much about the feeling the heart and receiving the energy back. I was painting an elephant from a picture once. There was something about his expression. I had a real feeling of connection with him and my brush strokes just felt right. It's the only way I can describe it. Beautiful picture.

[@DavePortersArt]

It is a wonderful feeling. We all have this ability to connect in us , once we let go and open the heart it all seem to flow from there. Thanks for the kind word and watching the video. 😊🙏

Beautiful soul

[@DavePortersArt]

She does the portrait was a real treat to create. Thanks for watching🙏

[@CharlesNolanArt]

Mr. Porter, I have so much respect for you, sir. I try to do pastel portraits what I would like to know, sir, how do you build up the values without the portrait looking dusty and overloaded? Perhaps the paper I use?

[@DavePortersArt]

Thanks for the kind words Charles... you could be right... it sounds like the paper you are using, Sanded papers are the best I have found... my favourite being Pastelmat dark grey. All the very best 😊🙏

[@davidbarker3312]

Amazing work! What do you use for the very initial outline, just black pastel pencil?

[@DavePortersArt]

Thank you David! I use a CarbOthello Grey Pencil No. 708. All the best.... thanks for watching 🙏

[@habibahetata4599]

You are very special and all your paintings reach the realism of photographs. Many famous artists could not reach this level of professionalism. ❤

[@DavePortersArt]

Wow, thank you so much for your kindness! Trilled you like my work so much! 🥰🙏

[@ekopimohrobertsart4326]

Please are you using soft pastel pencil or hard pastel pencil

[@iloveoregon99]

Hi Dave, when you switch from a warm color to a cool color or visa versa; do you use the cool color to set part of a feature back and the warm color to bring a feature more to the front? Curious to know why you use a cool or warm color in a particular place within your artwork even if it’s not related to a portrait?

[@DavePortersArt]

Thanks for the question... generally if there is a warm light shining on a surface it will casts a cold shadow, but in that shadow there could be warm reflective light. For me I just go with the feeling I get when observing. All the best 🙏

[@iloveoregon99]

@@DavePortersArt Thank you for your response! 🙏🏻

[@satipoi8943]

Good but Do you use hairdryers in the drawing to dry faster?

[@DavePortersArt]

It is a dry medium Pastel pencils. 🙏

[@PhyllisATaylor]

Do you demonstrate how to do this for darker skin tones?

[@DavePortersArt]

Please watch this video in my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHbaiIt_obCkjLs also check the Anthony Josiah portrait too kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYeuaoSkird1hJY

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Vyonne, Under the video to the left... for some reason they have change the colour of the button to black. All the best 🙏

[@user-uv6gj6dc3l]

Dave what i fo if i dont have a white kind of pencil...

[@DavePortersArt]

You really need a white pencil, even if you draw on white paper you would still have to tint the colours in places. 😊🙏

[@suzypastel5206]

Sur quel type de papier ?,,✌️👍😻😍👌

[@DavePortersArt]

Pastelmat Gris Foncé 🙏
