Drawing with Pan Pastels and Color Pencils 

Очень Красивый и живописный портрет! Фантастика! Спасибо за видео! 🤩🤩🤩♥️♥️♥️😊💐🍀🎁

Kathy i colour portraits in adult coloring. I have had the portrait set of Pan pastel for quite some time. Your tutorial is simply the best i have seen. Your teaching skills are awesome. Thank you for sharing. Love from the UK.x😘💗😌💗🇬🇧

You are a very inspiring & beautiful artist. Love your voice over explanations. Your comments are so very helpful. I've been wondering how to use Pan Pastels as an under-layer for colored pencil. I was surprised to read that you just used copy paper. WOW!! Incredible!

Your commentary is soooo helpful, thank you! A lot of unexpected new information!

thanks for this tutorial...I would have never thought to under(color/paint) with pan pastel for color pencil portrait. Sure will save HOURS of work. Very, very, nice and so informative. Again, THANKS AND NICE PIECE OF WORK !!!!!

Thank you ever so much! I've wanted to learn how to use pans and pencils in portraits for the longest. This is the best instructional video I've ever found.

Thanks for answering Kathy..I'm a subscriber and huge fan! amazing work..most utube artists insist on sanded papers for Panpastels but I love how you get smooth blending with regular paper.. and your likeness is perfect!

You are truly an amazing artist and to have taught yourself is truly remarkable. You are so much fun to watch and very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

you don't know how much thankful I am to you to teach this wonderful portrait... the technique is something new to me and awesome... please do more such videos... you have explained the colors so wonderfully... May Lord bless you with more and more success!

It seems like you are using eye shadows to draw... Amazing

The picture of Jensen is what got me but thank you for insisting me for my art homework :))

Très inspirant et instructif pour moi qui débute au pastel merci

Snap! I was wondering when I would see more drawings of men. Two thumbs up, because that's all I've got. Outstanding!

I am going to try portraits from photos for awhile. Faces just seem to be rather natural for me as a beginning artist. Late bloomer. I struggled with two subjects yesterday, and when it was all done, I sat and drew the face of a child who looked very sad- in minutes, no reference, just my soul. I will be pursuing it. No art today, my eyes are very dry. I have Mungyo, NuPastel, and Carbothello pencils, full sets, along with 172 Prismacolor Premier pencils, 24 Col-Erase :-) so I am not lacking . I have a TON of makeup to experiment with to see if Pan Pastel is for me. I am definitely getting the soft stick that you blend with! Great work, I enjoyed the video and looking forward to the next one. Thanks!

I learned so much from watching and listening to you talk about tips for creating your portraits. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. It was extremely helpful! The speed and length of the video was just right (not too fast or too short like most "tutorials" nowadays). And your narration was very informative and much appreciated. I just subscribed. Looking forward to more videos on portraits and/or Pan Pastels.

I just read about pan pastels on a face book drawing pencil group and can to you tube to see what I could find. This was awesome. I will definitely be experimenting!!! The white Sharpy for the eye glint was also an awesome tip. I've been doing tiny pictures of just eyes as a full sized portrait intimidated me with all that blending. Pan pastels may change that!

Kathy, you are such a great artist! I have never used pan pastels but you are obviously a pro with them! xx

Thank you Kathy. Great process video and helpful tips, you're really good at explaining and I cant wait to try it myself. Sheena Pike and Wendy Layne both great artists and they use Pan Pastels products along with other mixed media. Your portrait painting/drawing is just as good as theirs.

Your help is great.....I love portraits but they are more difficult for sure.....thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm just beginning, maybe I can make less mistakes, but I'm sure to make plenty! Your narration. Was extremely helpful.

wow I have been wanting to see how to use pan pastels. I just love this. combination of pastels and pencils

You are truly blessed to have been given such talent. I'm watching you give this guy yellow eyes and violet n magenta in his skin and I'm wondering if you are one of the artists that does interpretive art (for lack of a better description) and you end up with this photo realistic piece. I am bowing at your feet. I don't know how you see those colors in flesh but it sure worked to perfection. Thank you so much for posting this for us. I just became your #1 fan.

Awesome, I love how you use brushes with pan pastels. I had never thought of doing that. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Thanks for your help in using pan pastel and colored pencils together.

Nice to meet you, Kathy! I'm a Supernatural fan, and believe you have captured his essence in your portrait of him! Dede's right, you're good! --The Silver Screen Corn

Thanks Kathy. Love when you do Pan Pastels.

Love your work Kathy thank you so much for sharing.

This is beautiful! I love watching you do this. I don't think I have the patience for photo realism. This just looks so wonderful.

WOW!!! I love Jensen Ackles and you made an awesome portrait of him! Especially the eyes! You are very talented and your video is so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing this!

I am a beginner and use PanPastels, my Portraits look horrible, yet i know that is use too much Pastel. I also have Polychromos and Prismacolours and know now how i can use it together. Thank you so much for doing this Video, it helps me alot

You are truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I am just starting with Pan Pastels and this really helped!

Brilliant, thankyou I've learnt so much.

Very nicely done! I learned a lot from this video! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing work & excellent video

Very well done, and very nice to follow.

This was wonderful to watch. Thank you for all that very Sound Advice

Really beautiful and awesome to look at!! Very helpful, inspiring and encouraging the joy of creation! You rock!

Thank you! This was very insightful and I loved watching your process.

May i commend you on your choice of people!!! I love supernatural, and just finished my mixed media double page celebrating the guys and 15 yrs of the show.

Kathy that was an awesome step-by-step thorough video . One of the best I have seen to learn from. I am self taught as well and I I have done portraits in watercolor, acrylic, pastels and the last few month very serious about portraits in colored pencils . I have heard of using under painting with the CPs so I did a you tube search and found this . I learned a lot from it and I will soon try this for sure . I always use pan pastels for my background . I like the way the can cover ever so lightly and the effect it gives . I do tend to like the glossy look though but this is awesome as well. It doesn’t,t seem like you had to do much blending with the pencils am I seeing that right.. I am on a portrait painting journey. I have come a long way in a couple months .Anyway thanks so much for this wonderful video to share with us all.

Thank you so much for this video. I was waiting for something like this. You are such a wonderful artist.

Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us! You are an inspiration. :)

wonderful subject matter...woohoo!

Thank you! Just got me some Pan pastels and this is so helpful ❤❤❤ hope u have more of these

this is exactly what i wanted! thank soooo much! helped a lot!

I feel better to find older artist here I’m 42 and want to become an artist Hope I’m not too late. Too many young artists on RU-vid i feel jelly.

THis is great, self taought , like I am doing....I found your video because I wanted to see use of Pastel with color pencils...I have poly chormos now but so much like the ease of pastel pencils I see on here, this may work using both :o)

So happy to have found this tutorial. The most helpful and very clear. Just stunning! Do you use a fixative before you start the pencil work? Will definitely save to a playlist.

Kathy, this was so lovely to watch, thank you,

Your instructions are wonderful! Pace, detail and voice are perfect. Will look to see if you have more on pan pastels! Your talent in portraiture is remarkable. Do you do landscapes?

Fab video! Totally love your drawing. Amazing. xx

Superb drawing and colouring thank you

Just gorgeous! Great model too!

Thanks for sharing this art with us. I have the pastels but not your skill with them. Also... Great subject matter! What a hawtie :)

This is awesome! I'm so inspired by your work!

Thank you for your tutorial. This helps me a lot

You are good, but tell me.What paper are you using and what fixative? I use them in paper appropriate for pastel and can not keep them in the paper, they are leaving in the first touch. Fixative also makes them dark.

Thank u soo much, I needed a new medium n I found it!!

FANTASTICO WAO

Hi, great painting. When you say coloured pencils, are these pastel?

HimKathy, do you not need to use any fixative at the point when switching to colour pencils?

Gorgeous work! Please tell us what kind of paper you use..

That's interesting to put pencil on top of pastels. I always thought the powder would block the cohesion of the pencils. Is that pastel paper?

Hi Kathie, Thank you for your lovely video which I have just enjoyed. During the video you mentioned a product which you used to add final touches of white to the portrait. I think you said it was a "Sharpie Poster Paint /Water Marker " (Xtra-fine). I wonder if you could let me know where this can be purchased and if, indeed, I have the right name for it ?? I have tried Jacksons (U.K) without success.Thanks so much Kathy. Deirdre Hoffman

Thank you so much.

Where did you get the make-up applicator type tool you used to put the pastel on with? I've never seen one like that, only the knives with the replaceable pads that you can buy with the Pan Pastels.

Hi Kathy, I agree with so many others, that your video is very good. Thank you. What is the 'sponge brush' that you are using? I've purchased the Sofft sponge applicator sticks but really like the one you are using. Your help is appreciated.

wow your art is so amazing.

Wow! Can you tell me if you used a workable fixative on top the pan pastel before applying pencil? Thank you for sharing!

Do you use a fixative on the pan pastel before you use the prismacolor pencils?

Thank you for sharing your teaching. It is great! Mary katie

Beautiful. Thank's from Spain.

I found watching you painting this portrait mesmerizing. What is the tool you use for blending the pastels? I haven't seen this type of implement before.

Amazing

Thank you for shafting, it's awesome to watch, I am going to get a few pan pastels at a time as they are quite expensive, any advice on the must have basic colours for portraits?

Ommmmllll this is amazing

Hi Kathy This video is so much more helpful than a lot of others I've seen. I hope it'll help me overcome my beginners mistakes :) Did you do the initial sketch with graphite? Also, I haven't got any coloured pencils. Any brands that you would particularly recommend to purchase? How many colours/range of colours? Thank you for this excellent tutorial and advice.

Nice! Very informative. Thank you!

Hi Kathy! Wonderful work. Kathy What colors of PanPastels should I buy to color skin? Thanks for sharing your wonderful work with us!

Wonderful! I hope Jensen gets to see this.

hi, great video! just wondering is pan pastel lightfast, or how would i make my piece last years thank you x

Breath Taking!!!

l can not find the brush you are using could you please tell me what it is thank you

Hi I love your work!...can you tell me what kind of a brush you are using in this tutorial please ?

You are so good. I love watching you.

Excellent thank you so much Sandy

Hi! I may have missed you saying this, but what is the applicator that you used to apply the Pan Pastel? Your video was very helpful--thank you. Your work is wonderful.

What is the paper type your using for pastel?

Really really excellent.

what brushes can you use with pan pastels

Sorry, may I ask you anything again? How do you clean the applicators for pastels?

You can draw so amazing😍😍 i also draw with Pan pastel 🤗

What types of brushes are using

i have to say your work is very good, you have a great talent and you narrate videos well, i really feel you have more to give though, would you consider trying to give more contrast to your work, work on better values, your work is very very good and realistic and soft it really is beautiful but i feel if you gave more depth and detail to your piece here it would be amazing and you'd be unstoppable. xoxo

Beautiful! 😊

It's amazing

Can you please tell me what paper you use..thank you

Awesome... thank you
