This is so helpful. I am fascinated by the fact that the effect of the paper is evident even when it's completely covered with pastel.

This is exactly the information I needed ❤

@freddiebiscuit9703 6 месяцев назад

marjo-rittareinikainen9740 Me too! I chose a mid tone brown Clairefontaine paper to draw our little chestnut pony on but I don't want to draw a background just a straight portrait and finding advice on paper colour is a little bit like finding hen's teeth !

@EmmaColbertArt 5 месяцев назад

Glad this helped a little. Hen's teeth lol!

@caroldurney1442 5 лет назад

Thanks for explaining why you choose the colors you do, Emma...I was never sure what to recommend to my students who asked about color pads of paper. Now I understand about the warmth and coolness of the paper affecting the subject of the painting. And recommending Gail's blog was a great idea...it's full of great information. Lastly, David Sweet's prepared board is such a vibrant shade of red...it always sets off his paintings of his girls (or his glamorous ladies.) Good video!

@EmmaColbertArt 5 лет назад

Thank you Carol! It's something a lot of artists do differently so I don't think there's any 'right' choice. But hopefully this helps those who are stuck to make a choice that will work.

Aku suka menggambar dng pastel

@elux666 3 года назад

Great, concise explanation, I was in a shop looking at paper for 15 minutes and left undecided. wee tips like this are invaluable. Thanks. May I ask , where is your accent from?(Im a Glaswegian, and couldn't pinpoint it.)

@EmmaColbertArt 3 года назад

Northern Ireland but it's possibly changed a bit with travelling. I probably tone it down a bit for videos so that I'm understandable. Love the Scottish accents :-)

Ma'am what about close up potraits?

@TierkunstAtelier 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I am working also on Velour and on Pastelmat. Can I ask you where do you buy big sheets of velourpaper? I find only in 50x70 cm and I would like to have these bigger...

@EmmaColbertArt 5 лет назад

Hi Beate, you can see a full video about velour at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nqyhf4BNf2s.html. I also tell you about those big 40" sheets which I get from Dakota Pastels in the US. They do all sorts of supersize papers

@cynthiamarston2208 2 года назад

I wonder if Jackson Art Supplies will get a USA based distributer. They have the best things available

@EmmaColbertArt 2 года назад

As far as I know they're pretty good at shipping worldwide. Their shipping times are usually reasonable even when I'm ordering from Spain.

What color paper should I use if I’m doing a yellow lab portrait

@EmmaColbertArt 10 месяцев назад

That can really vary depending on the lighting, the background etc. But a mid tone is a safe bet for most things. A sand colour is nice for a yellow lab.

@livetoart11 4 года назад

is the GSM have different in different brand ? for achieving best result how much GSM of the paper we need?

@EmmaColbertArt 4 года назад

There are many pastel papers on the market all with different weight and textures. The more important quality of pastel paper is the surface type. You can get everything from soft feeling velour to sanded surfaces like UART.

@mommyzethartcorner7685 2 года назад

if i need to watch something about pastel i keep on coming back to your channel wow. I didnt know that i need to choose paper color that will fit for my drawing. Can i ask what is the paper color that will fit for portraits especially that is asian color? thanks in advance. Im a new fan here.

@EmmaColbertArt 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it! You can either choose a colour that is opposite or complementary, or you can choose a tone within the skin tones. Have a look at my tutorial on darker skin tones. The paper colour I used there was helpful when created the tones.

@kathyo487 5 лет назад

Do you trace the animals on your paper or draw free hand? thank you

@EmmaColbertArt 5 лет назад

Hi Kathy, most of the time I use a grid. I like drawing freehand but a grid tends to speed me up a lot. I have no problem tracing a general composition in a large painting on to speed me up also, but it's equally important to me that I can draw it freehand when I have enough time. I have some videos on here about how I use a grid and also how I transfer onto velour when using that.
