I also love how you aren't afraid to use pure white and black pastels. The results are stunning and negate claims that using straight white and/or black makes for a flat or lifeless painting. This piece has plenty of depth and life.

[@ElizabethBattle]

Two things I love about this video: learning how to depict distant, bare trees in pastel (which is really challenging for me), and seeing pastel pencils wuth erasers! Great video and beautiful painting.

[@elainemcbride6517]

I am new to pastels and working on my first picture and loving it. I have watched dozens of videos and you are by far the best painter and best teacher! Thanks so much!

[@kevinqueen6246]

You've done some of the best trees of any artist in any medium, I've ever seen.

[@aviaja2008]

This is proof of how sensitive our eyes are to nuances or value. Great lessons, beautiful art.

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Thanks Christine!

[@ChrisR_68]

Your welcome Matt, I got that set of Reeves soft pastels you said for me to get like as a beginner :) I also got some Derwent pastel pencils and some Faber Castell polychromos colour pencils. I already have prismacolour ones, I've only used them once when i did the secrets course the turtle :) as I've only worked with graphite I do want to experiment with new mediums, those I've just mentioned plus charcoal, I want this to be my most creative year yet. Plus I'll get back onto your portrait course,I just started that before Christmas then I was ill a lot before and after Christmas with 2 lots of flu viruses and colds and chest infections !! So I've missed about 2 and half month, its just getting back into the spring of it. I want to do the tiger you did as well. All that and some of my own projects which go with the portrait course. All the best Matt again thanks for all you do for us aspiring artist :)

[@peteENpl]

I didn't know that pastels can do things like this :) awesome

[@blyawakes]

Beautiful thank you!

[@naturalroyalflush]

I keep seeing the masking tape at the bottom as water complete with reflections. Beautiful picture. It all seems so logical...if you are an artist.

[@mikeboyce8844]

Man you make it look so easy! Great to see.

[@mariaxose2884]

Gran trabajo....

[@beckyquick4025]

LOVE IT!!!! DO YOU PREFER OIL OR SOFT/HARD PASTELS? WILL IT HURT TO BLOW THE DUST OF NON TOXIC PASTELS? ALSO CAN YOU DO A DEMO ON USING CONTE CRAYONS? ARE THEY OR NUPASTELS LESS DUSTY? I HAVE THE 72 FABERCASTEL BRAND, WHICH FOR A STUDENT BRAND WERE ALMOST 60.00 IN MY AREA, I HAD A COUPON WHICH HELPED. I HAVEN'T USED BUT SOME SAY THEY ARE DUSTY. SORRY SO MANY QUESTIONS, BUT I LIKE YOUR WORK AND TRUST YOUR OPINION.

[@ankansamanta3283]

dear sir,plz tell me what should be applied on a oil pastel painting if i want to frame it without glass?

[@rickmorty3227]

What pastels do you use? And which ones do you recommend?

[@حوراءحسن-ط6و]

What type of paper is used?

[@LADYxIMMORTELLE]

Beautiful! How do you sharpen your pastel pencils?

[@leilamirhaghani4109]

Hi Matt, Just started my TVI trial. I could find this painting in your website by using the search engine. Where should I find the rest of your landscape paintings ( other than the Pastel landscape mastery course). Are they unaccessebale during the trail period?

[@kathleenramsey2966]

Absolutely beautiful, I have been looking for the information you handed out. Thank you so much. 💓

[@geraldeneirisgussin5929]

How do you blend? And do you fix it with spray?

[@geng2179]

Bro that was awesome!!👍👌👌 R u using a reference picture?Should it be used??May i know ur opinion..😊😊

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Thanks Gen G. Yes, I did use a reference. It's best for you to find your own reference and apply the techniques that you've learned to create your own unique drawing.

[@pablottalonso7878]

Wow...

[@twoliney794]

wow~~~

[@마레오-p4d]

Is this oil pastel?

[@gordongibson7202]

Brill I,ll have to keep practicing to catch up with you.

[@valerietorok2061]

[@vishaljain4915]

where can I get the paper you're drawing on??

[@thevirtualinstructor]

It;s Canson Mi Teintes pastel paper. It's available online if you can't find it at your local art store.

[@beckyquick4025]

YOU CAN BUY THE 9X12 AT MICHAELS AND USE 40% COUPON, SOMETIMES THEY HAVE A HALF OFF COUPON. HOBBY LOBBY SELLS STRATHMORE PASTEL PAPER IN A 9X 12 AND 11X14. 40% COUPON ALSO. EVERY OTHER WEEK THEY HAVE 40% OFF OF THE PAPER SO YOU COULD GET ONE OF EACH WITHOUT COUPON..

[@rubiashahid1281]

Love this painting! Here's how mine turned out. pin.it/uHKePdi

[@jandeville325]

Yours turned out good! Not that I'm any kind of expert or anything but maybe a few hints of snow lying on the branches on the tree in the foreground? :)

[@79Louise]

Thanks I'm going to buy some pastel pencils now so I can do what you do here because I've already got the soft pastels. ^^

[@beckyquick4025]

YOU ARE A GREAT INSTRUCTOR!! JUST LOVE YOUR WORK!! WHAT STUDENT BRANDS DO YOU RECOMMEND? IS THE FABERCASTEL A GOOD ONE? ALSO MY HOBBY LOBBY SELLS SARGENT 48 SET? I HAD HEARD THESE WERE GOOD WHAT IS YOUR OPINION PLEASE. FORGOT TO ASK SORRY? THOUGHT OTHERS MIGHT WANT TO KNOW AS WELL. ARTIST LOFT AND MASTER'S TOUCH ARE IN MY AREA AS WELL. THESE ARE THE MICHAEL'S AND HOBBY LOBBY BRANDS.

[@bsaxon715]

it would help if you showed us what photo you're drawing it from to give a better understanding of the whole process.

[@barbielouiseroberts8748]

hi I'm new on your channel omg cannot believe that I found this awesome because I am learning this in art and I'm just wondering can you use a blending pencil instead of your fingers and thanks again you are really an amazing artist well done cannot wait to see more.
