How To Begin Painting With Soft Pastels?

[@drbob528]

I was glued to this demonstration like a kid watching a magic show. A lovely sketch in 10 minutes without speeding up the footage. So many tips and techniques. Many thanks

[@celineee4513]

I'm so new that I'm literally S H OO K ET H when you said that shading uses complementary color, then u use green to shade on the red????!?!? THATS AWESOME THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE WHOAAA✨✨

[@nataliatass0]

I was really surprised with that as well, never thought of it

[@angelalabauve9131]

Yes, your painting will stay vibrant using complimentary colors for shading. A color wheel is very helpful in deciding what colors to use. Your local craft store should have it. I think pastel is a wonderful medium to paint with. I’ve made lots of mistakes but that’s ok. This is a great video. I just love how quickly he applies the color and how fabulous the painting is😁.

[@tizianocolombero2657]

Less cheering please, it depends what medium you're using, the object of the painting and generally the way you're painting and the result you want to get. It's not a unmovable rule like that you gotta stop at the stop signal. It was right in this kind of painting/ drawing.

[@TearMeOpenIBelieve]

I thought shading was supposed to use the color of the surrounding background, like it's a mirror almost, but that was for skin specifically maybe.

[@ladydevildog8946]

Anyone else love that wonderful scratchy sound from drawing on the paper?

[@nirupomaroy8194]

Me too

[@estherrhythmsharma2536]

No

[@sherryreiss1913]

I'm a retired teacher and newbie to art..especially to pastel.I bought a box of sommelier pastels and when I opened the box the colors reminded me jewels. I found your demo very helpful as my teacher never showed me how to use pastels. Used tube for help. Thank you

[@Sennelier]

Thank you Sherry for this kind comment that I grantly appreciate. Best regards, YMS

A sommelier is a wine expert. Sennelier is the pastel brand.

[@music-sc7eg]

Renzo, made me smile too when I read it.

[@MrSpecter057]

Beautiful. Experts always make it look so easy. And you sir are an expert.

[@eaudeviederoumanie]

I believe hiţs not an expert and if u try to drawing u can discover zour part of "expert"

[@jenniferchoo7956]

Exactly! Thank you so much.

[@DrJones-nh4my]

eaudeviederoumanie I think I understand what you said

[@gila1959]

Ofcourse he is an expert , he represent a company for God’s sake...

This was a joy to watch and learn. Satisfying in every measure and applied with class yet simplicity.

[@lisalefemine1880]

I am new to Sennelier and am completely wowed by their beautiful colors and quality, watercolors, pastels and acrylics. This video was very helpful to me as I am also new to working with pastels. Thank you and thank you Sennelier for the pleasure of working with your magical colors. xxxx

[@-unicornlover-9206]

The way you are applying the pastels are so satisfying...who else get satisfied by it like me?

[@lefthandstory1280]

Great video,beautiful ,nice sharing my friend,love it❤️....👍.......👍..........👍....👍..👍 .❤️

[@amanbashera5454]

I love the way how he made this look so easy and simple. Hats off to you Sir

[@pegsesztak2074]

I’m so glad I’ve found a left handed artist like you monsieur. I’m a leftie artist too! It’s not easy to find left handed artists actually. Merci beaucoup! ☺️

[@chadparis8825]

WOW...Thank you for producing this video. You make it look so easy beau! I will try.

[@Matty06001]

Honestly this is the first time I've ever even seen someone work with pastels, very interesting. Thank you for doing this.

[@chrisc.7972]

Great tutorial. I didn't know to use a complimentary colour for a shadow. Sennelier pastels are wonderful, I will have to try the board. Thank you

[@tomaaron6187]

I have spent decades in the sciences. Recently I have tried Art for her first time since my youth. After trying many mediums, soft pastels are my favourite. ‘Simplicity’ in both science and art is so often the best. Technically I am not a good artist however my soft pastels make me ‘feel’ like a great artist. As a lefty with poor handwriting I find art a great equalizer.

[@dianadoesitall758]

Thank you for such a gentle and lovely voice with accent. MMM French accent always reminds me of food. I know why however that is another story. After dusting off the pastels January 1 and deciding to make a picture, at least one, everyday. Then I would watch how it is done. The spreading of the colour is so relaxing. Deep rich intense colour. Colour heals. May all who venture into the land of pastels be healed with the colours.

[@ShaminiSingh]

Absolutely beautiful. You have inspired me to try soft pastels.

[@sharondaugherty8092]

I have a set of the pastels on my wish list and will be watching your videos until they arrive. Beautiful work, and I appreciate you teaching us to play with colors and experiment, which gives confidence. Thank you!

[@magereina]

this tutorial was just what i was looking for. You make it look so darn easy and the effect is magical!

[@nemo8525]

Merci beaucoup, je n'ai pas encore testé le pastel de Sennelier, mais travaille, avec ces couleurs, en aquarelle. Votre démo. me donne envie. Plein d'envies et de visions ou projets. Merci beaucoup et bonne année 2020 !

[@Reme873]

Brilliant drawing.Very good looking

[@juliastansel483]

Wow! You made it look so easy! Now I need to try!!!

[@nataliatass0]

The video is awesome for many reasons: great artistical techniques, great demo, beautiful simple art, and the guy's accent is remarkable: "Apply ze color, on ze paper, wit ze finger..." Loved it.

[@sabinelloyd8532]

I have just ordered my first set of Senellier pastels. Really looking forward to trying them out. Interesting to see you are working light to dark as most tutorials I have seen recommend dark to light.

[@denisegrossman3840]

Great tutorial, the colors are so vibrant! I like the fact that you utilized brush for details will try it!

[@salmabassiony5998]

Finally could work with soft pastels in the university’s work(well we were supposed to get taught how but covid-19 happened) so merci beaucoup 😊

[@alessandrarussoart]

Wonderful! Love this still life, and Your technique are great monsieur. I never use pastel colors or oil pastel (ok when I was a little girl but it is not the same !) but looking at this vlog I seriously think to buy a set to improve my skill and try new medium to express me. Mercí pour cette video.

[@raphylv30]

A second in and I love this already. Love the accent as well!

[@DrJones-nh4my]

I’ve only been using watercolors and acrylics. I think I will love soft pastels

[@Misana]

You made that look so easy

[@AnaPaula-dn2gh]

You made it looks so simple.. Thank you!! 🥰💗

[@lucretiaonutube]

I ordered a set of Sennelier soft pastels today ... Can't wait to try them out! I've been using Rembrandt and Art spectrum .. your demonstration was pleasing thank you for sharing

[@sararosa5436]

Beautiful painting.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@colourwheel5703]

Thank you for this video. Beautifully done. Such vibrant colours. 🇨🇦

[@sisterebonics740]

I wandered away from my usual pastel paper, and thought I'd give the La Carte paper a try. I found that the La Carte paper holds very few layers of pastel, which is contrary to the claims Sennelier makes about the paper. I also found out that when I brushed water over the top of the pastels on the paper in order to create a watercolor effect, the water wore away the fibers and left a huge unrepairable white splotch on the paper.

[@CRAFTBUD_STUDIOS]

I think that you are the world's best artist. Can you please upload many tutorials on soft pastels please. I also have the box of pastel you have and I think that Sennelier Half Stick Extra Soft Pastel are the best.

[@lisacooper6404]

Brilliant tutorial really looking forward to soft pastels

[@Sennelier]

Merci !

[@nicolegodoy7687]

Stunning and you work so fluidly.

[@uroojsheikhshafi]

[@donataguerra7495]

Glad I had a chance to review this out here in Los Angeles. Thank you!

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Your painting is so very good! Thank you for this presentation.

[@valeriegehling4358]

Thanks! Just bought Sennelier oil pastels, know nothing so video helped me for my 1st. trial. Thanks

[@ilive4god2007]

I'm not a big fan of such painting styles, but I really like this brand and this particular set: the colors are perfect! Other brands can put up to 60-80 colors and I would never use 1/3 or even a half of them, but here every color is really cool )

[@noxmoonyisadork]

This paper seems so beautiful!! Beautiful shiny and bright apple, it was very enjoyable watching you paint this. Thanks for another lovely video Yves!

[@mel-kf4vz]

the apple came out nice, you are a great artist

[@aabshasworld5646]

U did this in very easy way and it looks very beautiful and realistic ✨

[@pablottalonso7878]

Whattttttt???????

[@lakshmi_aia]

Kind of magic:)! Sennelier is my favourite pastel brand:) Thank you!

[@margaretpepper5304]

That was so very helpful! I have just bought some soft pastels and absolutely ruined the picture I was attempting because I didn’t have a clue how to use this new, to me, medium. Your demonstration was very well done and has inspired me to have another go.....and use them properly. Kind regards

[@nathalierivet3210]

Fantastique ! Jamais utilisé le Senneliers en pastels softs. J'ai utilisé cette marque qu'en aquarelle. A tester. Merci bcp. ❤

[@paulalovesart4545]

Very beautiful pastels, thank you for sharing!

[@shadowguard3578]

Amazing and beautiful. Thank you.

[@timeglass777]

I love everything Senelier! I have Senelier half pastels, oil pastels and oil paints although I am just beginner in every type of media. Yes, they are expensive... and if I go for everything Senelier, I will be broke soon. So I have to resort to cheaper options for practice. The simple Apple drawing is great. I followed the video and produced a quite nice result... not as good as you. But I'm happy with it :)

[@shuailu2462]

Good 😌 thank you for your effort and your tools ⚒️.

You cannot wear a white shirt while painting, unless you have the French Accent ....
