No.1 Tree tutorial on entire RU-vid ❤

Bravo Majstore! ❤

Love it!! Thank you, I learned a lot ❤

Magnifique

Nice to watch you, and listen to your explanations, GREAT!

Very clear way of explaining what you do and how. Very instructive for me. Thank you.

Almost 5 hours of drawing a single tree, amazing patience, with stunning result. 4 or 5 hours drawing is really intimidating for the impatient.

Fantastic drawing & tutorial, thanks for sharing.

I'm subscribing....I'm big fan of pastels. Hope everybody knows Jason Morgan 🙂

like oil painting!!

You always make it look so easy and it's always so well done! I'd like to see one of your portraits using the clear gesso.

Great job. Its interesting how you start with background and then layer the tree over the sky

AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super je 🙂

❤❤❤ wonderfully mesmerizing and i have learned a lot.. i should start my learning here, i spend to much time on "canson" papers not realizing that the support need a "sanded touch".. and your drawing (with all those details) is teaching to me more than the last 2 weeks spent (and stalling) on "details" missing in my head.. this video is underestimated!!!

Very nice work

Beautiful, love your work.

Simply amazing

Stunning!😲

You can also add baking soda to the gesso, or use acrylic medium and baking soda. They work quiet well.

Well done👍🏻

Inspirational!

It's very useful.thank you

Really really nice. Thx for sharing this video ;)

Love watching you! The sandpaper is very interesting but can't find the larger pieces or lighter colors. I got a dark gray so far but not to big though!

Wow!!!

thanks so much

I think the discrepancy between the pastels and pencils is simply that pastels have larger pigment particles than color pencils do. So the color pencil particles could be getting deeper into the tooth of the gesso or being dispersed too much to have a large coverage. They might need more layers than the pastels do. Or maybe try sanding the gesso with a very fine sand paper.

what is the gram per square inch of paper used?

Nice work as always. Do you use the Koh-i-Noor soft pastels or the extra soft pastels and is there much difference between the two.

How many layers compared to Pastelmat or similar quality fine sanded paper?

I thought colour pencils are always from light to dark unlike pastels!🤔

sanded paper is a rip-off ..........try a small sponge roller😜😉😜

I’m a lttle confused. I watched your ‘small study’ videos where you demonstrated drawing clouds and waves and a ‘wet sand’ and rocks landscape - all done with coloured pencils on Fabriano paper (sand colour) primed with gesso. The drawings were fabulous and the colours vibrant. There didn’t appear to be any muddy colours or difficulty applying more than one colour. So hearing your disappointment with the performance of coloured pencil on gessoed paper in this video seems odd. Is the paper much heavier than the Fabriano? Why such differing results with gesso here? Absolute beginner looking to learn, learn, learn.
