Just listening to you is a blessing already 🙏🏻

[@shabbychicworld]

Thank you for this video. What colour is your pastelmat?

[@suerichardson1289]

Thanks so much for your info!

[@faisalhayat3147]

Which colours you use i want to start of with this art... I sketch sometimes but m a beginner

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I use mainly Polychromos, Luminance and Pablos 🥰

[@queenria7]

I just started using Pastelmat for the first time using Polychromos. I love how easily the color comes off the pencil onto the paper, but after half a drawing I've already noticed what you said about how easily the color comes off the paper. I had put my hand on a piece of parchment paper and the color on the Pastelmat stuck to the parchment paper! Is there a workaround for this?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

If your pigment is coming off on the paper, just check that there is no tooth. I use a smooth glassine paper - I don't get any pigment sticking to it :)

[@Legendary3Dgamer]

@@BonnySnowdonAcademy remember me? 😅

[@carlafrissenvastgoed]

Do you work on pastel mat with Polygromos in this video? The way you put down layers can also be done with, for example, Faber Castell Pitt or Stabilo Corthello?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

Yes - I only used coloured pencils no pastels. Pastelmat was made for pastels so your choice of pastel pencils will work well :)

[@carlafrissenvastgoed]

thank you Bonny. have a nice day

[@amymcdonogh8384]

You so talented!! May I ask why you prefer pastlemat over hot press?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

Ahh thank you 🥰 the way my brain works the techniques are just more intuitive with Pastelmat. I like light pressure and with hot press you do have to burnish and use harder pressure which I just don’t get on with 🥰

[@suerichardson1289]

Bonny would you use this same technique for a sable and white collie?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

Yes but you’d need to be careful where the dark fur and light fur meet 🥰

[@MarkWiddowson-z2q]

Do pencils smudge on that surface

[@Broadway789]

Is that a black charcoal pencil? Or is it simply a black color pencil?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

It's a black coloured pencil :)

[@Broadway789]

@@BonnySnowdonAcademy That’s wonderful. It’s the deepest black i have ever seen. Can this be purchased in the states?

[@janesilvabr]

Bonny, qual papel você usa?

[@emiragastounioti8064]

Acho que Clairfontain Pastelmat

[@janesilvabr]

what paper do you use, I don’t speak English very well, sorry

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

For this one it’s pastelmat 🥰

[@אלההםחיי]

שלום אני מישראל. מעניין אותי לדעת מה החברה שאת עובדת איתה מבחינת העפרונות תודה רבה

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I use mainly Faber Castell Polychromos, and Caran D'Ache Luminance and Pablos 🥰

[@maria-giulianalatini1724]

I would love to see the original photograph that you're working from and how you position it while you draw. 👃👃👃

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

I was given permission from Fiona Crawford to use the image in this tutorial and you can get access to the tutorial in my Ignite Membership 🥰 I look at the reference image on my iPad that I have on a gooseneck holder attached to my drawing board

[@micheleclear1415]

My art stores here don't carry them. So I honestly don't know anything about them. What are they, and how do they improve your art?

[@BonnySnowdonAcademy]

Are you asking about the Derwent drawing or the pablos?
