I'm a full time working lady, crazy about drawing. Although if you ask my wife she would probably tell you it's just plain crazy 😜🤣🤣
I recently started uploading tutorials to my channel because I learned that I love to teach as well. 😁 You guys are always welcome to watch 😜😉
I'm still doing pet portraits for people in pastel and colored pencil because I just love bringing people's beloved pets to life!
And just because I love drawing so much, I'm also gonna post some of my personal projects, mostly digital stuff, mostly Disney, Marvel, DC comics,...did I mention I'm quite the nerd.😜
Anyways I hope you guys have some fun watching, learn a thing or 2. I know I will be having fun when I'm drawing.😜😁
I have these pencils and they work so well the problem is that the color isn't fixed on the paper and i often ruin my drawings😭. Do you add something to fix the color at the end?
Woops, that's a mistake on my part! It's supposed to say "conte a paris" because I've drawn that one specifically only with the contés tot test them out😅 thanks for pointing it out!
So tempting with the colours available but I have had so many that are broken on arrival (packed well from Jacksons) and that break when sharpening even with a blade as you say. I also have many that are REALLY scratchy and not usable, like more than one in ten. Disappointing especially at such a high price. The sticks are as bad or worse.
That's sad to hear, I'm sorry. They cost a lot of money indeed, so you would expect the quality to be excellent and nothing less. However I've heard more of these stories in the past, so I can totally understand why someone just wouldn't want to spend the money.
That's why it's really important to try different types out for yourself. It's very personal and depending on your style or wanted outcome. I can only tell you what works for me and what I like, but that ofcourse doesn't mean you're going to feel the same way.
Je n'ai pas encore reçu le pastelmat mais je l'ai commandé même si je suis débutante 😅. Bon après, il était en solde à 28€ le bloc de 12 feuilles sur le géant des beaux arts.
C'est super! Tu sera très contente quand ça arrive parce que c'est vraiment bon. Mon opinion est, même si tu es une débutante, il est importante de te donner les plus grand chance à réussir. Et pastelmat vas te aider à ça 😉 quand je vivait en Belgique, j'ai fait beaucoup des voyages à le géant de beaux arts, le magasin n'est pas trop chère et on trouve beaucoup de choses là😁🧡 je te souhaite beaucoup de plaisir avec le papier quand c'estarrivée!
@@TinaBaeyensArt Merci :) là j'ai commencé en attendant un dessin sur le papier Canson demi teinte normal (pas le touch) et c'est vrai que ça n'accroche pas des masses (en plus j'ai un peu gâché le dessin car le fixatif a fait quelques gouttelettes dessus🙄). Mais je suis assez contente de parvenir à trouver les couleurs et les tons pour le portrait. Au final comme j'ai beaucoup pratiqué la peinture ça m'aide beaucoup. Il y a des points plus difficiles que la peinture acrylique et d'autres plus simples : la difficulté d'utiliser des bâtonnets, de fusionner les couleurs mais l'avantage de ne pas avoir de peinture qui sèche trop vite dans une palette et sur la toile et de rechercher à refaire la même couleur ensuite !
@@musicartculture of course, why wouldn't I 😁 it's the least I can do if you take the time to watch my video and write a comment, there's not ma´y people who take the effort to do that 😃 if you get to that pet portrait, feel free to tag me on istagram should you post it, would love to see it! And the very best tip I can give you is: save up so you can buy Pastelmat paper by ClaireFontaine, I know it's really expensive but it REALLY make all the difference 🧡 And most of all, enjoy the process👌 good luck!
Do you consider this a tutorial? It's too fast and it's not zoomed in close enough. The eyes look like you just took a black pencil and drew two circles, you can't see any of the colors you used.
Tina, you are so talented and a great teacher. I am more into abstract landscape and flowers, I am new to pastel pencils. I bought Caran d Ache Luminance colored pencils. I was so disappointed. Perhaps I was working on a wrong paper. I can at least use a few Stabilo pastel pencils, to do a sketch, on a regular paper, or watercolor paper or on acrylic paper. As I understand you, pastel pencils are easy to put a color on a paper and the Stabilo brand is watersoulable too. Thank you so much for sharing. Art supplies buying is like a jungle.
Hi Helga! First of all, thank you very much😊 The caran d ache pencils are definitely good, but not so easy to layer on top of eachother since they are very soft. To my experience, the paper makes all the difference though, so don't give up on them yet until you've tried them on pastelmat paper by ClaireFontaine😉 I've never tried water with my pastel pencils, so on that I cannot really give a good answer, though I've seen other artist try it. It really is a jungle to find the best supplies that suit you! 😅 I would recommend starting with the first building block, which is the paper.. so really give pastelmat a try, it's expensive but very much worth it!😋 Most importantly, have fun experimenting!🧡
@@TinaBaeyensArt thank you so much Tina for great advise. Do I understand you right to use Caran d ache Luminance colored pencils on a Clairfointane pastelmat paper ? If so, mark my words, mine are not pastel pencils and they are not soft at all, I am going to try it ! I am starting to have a negative opinion on the Caran d Ache brand (I should have bought the pastel pencils set). This Brand is overrated and to expensive. Tina, it is pure joy for me to watch your channel.
@@helgaleifsdottir5191 Hi Helga, that's really great to hear, thank you so much!🥰 As for your question, I'm sorry but I must have misread the first comment! I thought you bought the caran d ache pastel pencils😅 which are great, don't get me wrong, but not my favorite at all since I share your opinion that they're very overpriced. For the luminance colored pencils, I wouldn't try them on pastelmat, since the paper will eat away your (very expensive) pencils in no-time! I'm sorry I misread the first time. If you want to try pastel pencils, my go-to brands are the stabilo carbothellos and the faber castell Pitt pastel pencils. And ofcourse, the pastelmat paper. But I would not recommend using regular colored pencils on the pastelmat paper, you can (I've seen artists create beautiful stuff with them on this paper), but it will eat away A LOT of your pencils.. Hope this helps!🧡
Looks like the carbothello are pretty awesome. Maybe just get some of the light caran d ache for highlights as i use nupastel for the darks and first layers. Thanks !
You're very welcome!😁 Definitely, the carbothellos are my number 1! And I use the other brands mostly to supplement with harder and softer pencils as needed😉
Hi! Well I've only tried colored pencils over soft pastels, so I can only speak for that. But I can happily say that there's no problem with colored pencils over soft pastels. You can not do it the other way around though , as the soft pastel won't grip anymore over the colored pencils. Hope that helps!🙏
Brands do matter, but not as much as you would think. For the pastels I've used Stabilo Carbothello, which are not expensive but great. As for the coloured pencils, I've used poluchromos by Faber Castell, which ARE expensive but also really good. For this video, I've used the brands I use for commissions, so I know they are great, no matter the price. In conclusion: the coloured pencil are the more professional ones compared to the pastels used for this video, so it's not always just about the brands or price😋
@@TinaBaeyensArt I'm having such a hard time believing the colored pencils are so expensive because next to the pastels they look ☠️?! Thanks for responding!
@sunnysodapop I can understand😋 pastels are just much more vibrant because of the amount of pigment in them, its not mixed with so much wax to make it hard like a coloured pencil. Which results in more dust, but much more vibrancy because of it👌 you're welcome!
Muito boa resenha dos lápis pastéis Derwent, tenho uma caixa de 12 tons e gostei da espessura da mina e a maciez. Mas por ser muito macio a ponta desgasta facilmente, preferindo eu usar os lápis Gioconda pra isso por serem mais duros. Como ainda estou no começo, ainda tenho muito a aprender sobre eles na prática. Aguardo seus novos vídeos, até a próxima vez. Tenha um ótimo final de semana, Deus te abençoe grandemente 😇🙏🤗❤️👩🎨🖼️👏👏👏
I just discovered you Tina. What an great teacher you are. So easy to understand. The pencil shaver or peeler is not for sale at Jackson´s, sorry. I am curious to know if you would have a tutorial of soft pastels too, not the pencils, the sticks, for covering large area and e.t.c. What kind of pastel pencils brand would you recommend for impressionist, expressionist artwork, landscape and floral, if I may ask. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ! I like to buy the Stabilos ore some softer affordable Also I think it is a good idea to buy 12 or 24 pencil set, and then buy each pencil, one at a time, , for the colors that I love, if I fall in love with the soft pastel pencils. And a big bonus, for the Stabilo pencils, the are water soulable also, so I can get watercolor pencils too ! Thanhs again Tina.
Might be getting some of these and the pitt (based on the my preferences and the lightfastness of their colors) and a bit of caran dache ones, so I can have a small but durable and useful range. This will be a secondary media for me ( as I am using normal pencils, watercolor paint and pencils and gouache ) but I like trying new things... Thank you for this reviews, It's much easier to decide now 😃
You are very welcome! Trying new things is an important part of being an artist in my opinion so I would say : go for it😁 good luck with the pastel pencils and most of all, have fun🧡
Hi Mickey, thanks for your message, it's really heartwarming that someone out there is missing my videos 🥰 I'm afraid I don't have an answer to your question though, I don't know if I'll ever be recording again, sorry! Hope you have a really great day🧡
@@mickeygascoyne2243 Hey Mickey, you can definitely email me, no problem😁 the reason is just a change of career which leaves me no time to record and edit videos anymore, so it's been a good change for me, just not so good for my youtube career😋 my email is tititjuh@hotmail.com by the way😉
Happy new year to you and your loved ones too😁 I wish you all the best and everything you hope for 2023🧡 That's really kind of you, thank you very much🥰 xx
That's really sweet of you, thank you very much😁🥰 But I'm afraid I don't upload anymore because of switching careers I don't have the time anymore😅 maybe in the future I will upload again but that's still unsure now.. sorry! Anyway thank you very much for the support I got from you on here ! It will never be forgotten🧡
@@TinaBaeyensArt wow I hate to see you go but I hope the new career is what you hope for! I still learned a lot from you and I’m thankful for all your tutorials and tips! Love your art and will miss you! Thanks doll! Maybe I’ll see you down the road when you can slow down a little!
Can I still get gd definitionan and precision with pastels x I have only used polychromos and want something less heavy to press down as got poorly hands many thanks
You definitely can! Just need some practice, and maybe some harder pastel pencils. So I would recommend the Pitt pastels by faber castell 😉 You can buy those open stock as well, so you can try it out without having to buy a whole set! Also, try them on pastelmat paper by clairefontaine , the paper REALLY makes a difference😉 Have fun!😁
Hi there, recently heard of a great hack. Canvas frame of the size you need, turn it upside down where it gives you the spaces. Glue dividers into the spaces per color or what’s easiest for you. Talking with my husband, he said he would make me a lid to cover with piano hinges attached to the frame, then simply cover and fold up to the wall. Pull down when needed. Of course, then he decided he could then put legs that fold out and make a table as well….hahaha, oh the many choices when many minds are put to test in small spaces 😂. Thank you for your post…I bought a box to start, similar to yours but the darn fat Terry Ludwig pastels wouldn’t fit…ugh
Sounds like you and your husband make a great team!😃👌 if the pastels don't fit the box, make a new box😋👊 good luck with the construction and most of all, buy lots of pastels to fill it (but maybe don't tell your husband I told you to 🤣)
