Amazing painting! And it is absolutely unbelievable how much better it looks in the photo then on the video. The colors are so much more true and intense. Thank you for sharing this beautiful beautiful painting with us.
i like the softness of the pastel and the detail of the pencil. the pastel makes quicker work of the background and the first layers of the flowers. i am going to give this combo a try! lovely work as always.

Thank you! Yes those pastels speed up the coloring process so much! Usually this kind of drawing would take me much much longer time to complete. I don't remember when was the last time I completed whole painting just under 7 hours :)
Truly fantastic! Coming from Finland, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the name was Finnish!

Thank you and kiitos! :) Juu, meitä suomalaisia youtube taiteilijoita ei turhan paljoa ole. Minäkin tätä vain harraste pohjalta teen ja nyt en hetkeen ole ehtinyt uusia videoitakaan tekemään. Mutta toivottavasti niillekin löytyy jossain välissä enemmän aikaa :)
What brand if pastell pencils did you use? Pitäisi ostaa lisää ...

@@helenahurme Tässä en käyttänyt pastellikyniä yhtään koska en vielä tuolloin omistanut yhtään pastellikynää. Tuossa käytin siis vain Pan pastelleja sekä värikyniä, Caran d'Ache Luminance ja Faber-Castell Polychromos. Nyt myöhemmin olen sitten ostanut myös Faber-Castell Pitt pastellikyniä. Tämä työ oli ensimmäinen kokeiluni Pastelmat paperille ja ainoat pastellit mitä minulla tuolloin oli, oli nuo Pan pastellit. Hyvin toimivat yhdessä nuo pastellit ja värikynät
Absolutely Lovely! Mesmerizing to watch actually! Thank you so much for sharing. Colored pencils! I didn't know that would work! I'll have to give it a go! Thank you again!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. There have come up more pastel painting demonstrations in youtube lately. Here are some other if you like. This one is mine, where I do bace coloring with Pan pastels and draw colored pencils on top of that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FIQhS4vyByo.htmlm33s Jason Morgan has many many great videos about normal pastels and Pan pastels and also great revies about different brands, papers etc. You chould really check those out: ru-vid.com/group/PLaZxH7ZFWv9fABTRkOHaPos8pd21GPjVl Bokkei has also great videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kekH-v7hMQQ.html I especially liked this one where she shows how she mix skin tones ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-82BEq-SpSD4.html I hope you like these! :)
Absolutely beautiful. I have always worked in oils and have slowly graduated to Prismacolor Pencils and am interested in using pan pastels for my backgrounds. Your work is absolutely stunning and it was so fun to watch you work. The creation of your flower using pastels is beautiful. Back to practicing.

I'm glad you liked it. :) Pan pastels are really good for backgrounds and if you want to tone your paper. I believe You will like that combination. I used here Pastelmat paper and that feels a bit weird with colored pencils (the color layers doesn't blend to each others as well as they do in normal watercolor paper) but I think Sanded papers like UART or Fisher 400 would work even better when combining pastels and colored pencils. Although I have done some background coloring also in normal hot pressed watercolor papers etc. For example in this video I did bace coloring with Pan pastels and colored pencils on top of that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FIQhS4vyByo.htmlm33s
Just stumbled across your video. Just fabulous!! I've just joined my local art society as well as just buying my first set of pan pastels. Thanks for the inspiration! Beautiful work
This is so beautiful and it's amazing seeing how well coloured pencils and pan pastel work together! Fantastic drawing! :D

Thank you! Those work much better in that Pastelmat paper than my Cretacolor pastel pencils. I'm so disappointed on those. But I'm so glad you gave me that advice earlier in Lachris facebook group, that I shouldn't try this Pastelmat paper with powder blender. I'm so surprised how different this paper is comparing to Fisher 400 sanded paper that I bought. That Pastelmat paper is really weird paper.
Ur having such an amazing talent!! I have plans to buy panpastels but am a little confused about the quality and type of them...as u are an artist, it would be really really helpful if you could let me know what kind of panpastels are good and if they r available in Amazon. And can u tell me the name of the colour pencils plz?😍( Am trying to draw humans / celebs )
Watched this at quarter speed. Most enjoyable. Even what the music sounded like made for a lot of tension in waiting for the beautiful outcome. Fantastic! BTW; leaving the flowers just a titch more out of focus makes that damselfly LEAP out of the painting. Supreme!

Thank you! I really love that music Dexter Britain produces. :) I'm glad you liked that soft out off focus effect. I'm just learning to do that. It's so much easier do with pastels than just plain colored pencils that I usually use.
What kind of paper do you use to keep from smudging while you pencil in and also did you sketch out your drawing with pencil on plain pastelmat or did you put a layer of pan pastel down first? Thank you for your answers- you are amazing!!!

Do you mean that paper under my had? That is glassine paper. Those come with the Pastelmat pads (separating two Pastelmat sheets) Also you can buy those separately. Glassine is archive protective paper you use storaging art. I don't remember how I sketched this picture (so many years since I did this) but I think I may have used just white pencil with really light hand. I either sketch like that or I use transfer paper to get the line drawing in.
Beautiful! I just got panpastels for Christmas, so I'm looking forward to learn how to work with them. What type of brush did you use with the panpastels? When would you use one? I hadn't thought about using a brush. Your RU-vid was wonderful to watch and learn from! Thank you for posting.

Stacey Wilder thank you! I'm glad it was helpful ☺ I used couple of different brushes that are really soft like makeup brushes. Different sizes for different purposes. Mostly I used mob brushes (hope that is the correct name in English) for just to get rid of the lines, for softening and blending. But I wouldn't try to paint whole picture using brushes. It throwers too much of the pastel away. Those Pan pastel sponges etc. are the best way for painting with these, but if you are having unwanted lines, you can try to soften those with some soft brush
beautiful painting, did you need to spray the panpastels before using the coloured pencils over the panpastels
7 лет назад
Thank you! :) At first I didn't spray fixative before using colored pencil. If I remember right I didn't use fixative before I started coloring that Dragonfly, but did add some fixative before those flowers. But there is not that big of a difference there. I usually don't like to use fixative with pastels, because it dulls the colors so much.
Absolutely wonderful painting. Do you use a fixative after the pastels before adding the detail and depth with the pencils?
7 лет назад
Susan Stenning thank you! No I did not use fixative. This Pastelmat paper holds the pastel very well so there was no need for that. Also I didn't want to dull my colors, and the fixative I have tends to dull those colors a bit.
I see you are u sing a brush at times...are you using alcohol with that to blend better or is that a dry brush? I have seen some use the alcohol but not on pan pastels..this is a great piece
7 лет назад
No there is nothing on that brush. It's just basic dry makeup brush that I use for softening the edges. But be careful when doing that with pastels and ware breathing mask. I got really bad breathing problems after one pastel work and it was because of the dust I had dusted on air. So I don't recommend using that method unless you have well ventilated room that is sucking that dust away or you are wearing breathing mask. Unfortunately that dust is really harmful for your lungs if breathed. Using alcohol or other liquids with pastels, wouldn't help you get softer look but rather makes the pastel to act like paint and you can do details, sharp edges etc, if you mix pastel with some liquid like alcohol. But I've never tested that. I have just seen when Jason Morgan uses that method.
Thank you...very helpful. I got a few pan pastels to try and I sure love the softness...I did a pelican on seude and turned out pretty good but did add details with pastel pencils. Its amazing...I am addicted..hopeing to be able to order a large set.

I bought first the 20 set of pure colors and that I found to be really good for beginning. You can mix almost every color from those and slowly buy more as you go. Pan pastels are so fun aren't they :) I just got few papers that are suede papers I think but I haven't tried them yet. What did you like about that paper and have you tried Pastelmat paper yet? That is the paper I usually use and really like, but I'm interested to see how different this other paper is
I saw a demo on youtub of a lady that did a tiger from her own photo..I do a lot of animals. Have not conquered the florals yets...but will...it was fabulous. She said she used suede mat board....its hard to find. I managed to find it at what I thought was a good price. 5.25 or so for a 16 x 20 which can be cut in 8 x 10 if you like...but its a 50.00 requirement...which was fine...I got 10 amazing colors and did a beautiful pelican...now working on a lion..only thing was shipping is 30.00 and I wondered why..took 2 weeks and it had papers on it for customs,,,looks like the company is in california but it comes from over seas. I have pastelmat....velour...Uart...on a mission to try different papers and different colors for effects..just having fun with it. I will go back and check email and see where I ordered it from if you like...I will search for you under fineartanne on facebook and see more of your work
When did you use colored pencils? Only over the pastels?
6 лет назад
DeLila Bogart yes, only over the pastel. When you see pencil in my hand, that is colored pencil. I didn't have pastel pencils at this point yet, so I used colored pencils instead. All the sharp details are made with cp. If you check the description of this video, there is time stamps where I start using cp
I would like to buy this artwork if it is for sale and I can afford it. If you don't want to sell the original perhaps you could take it to a printer for a reproduction. If you use Facebook you can message me at BettySherlinSchueler.
