Haven't seen the masking film before, great!

@Xrissart 6 лет назад

Thanks Millie, I think the paper also makes a difference. The paper has to be able to withstand the knife (although I'm super careful when cutting). I find Pastelmat the ideal surface for this technique and makes my job so easy. No halos!!!!!! You have to try it!!!

@milliesimic6233 6 лет назад

I haven't used pastelmat yet. Will get some, does it have tooth Chrissy?

@Xrissart 6 лет назад

Millie this paper would have to be the best pastel paper I've worked with . The texture is not gritty (a bit hard to explain, but I would say it's more smooth than rough) It can take many, many, many, did I say many? layers. Can take solvents and water. Comes in boards too.Erases well. I would also say this paper is very forgiving. I sound like a commercial!!! If you have some time you can view some of my other videos where I demonstrate my application on this paper in my projects .😀✏🖌🖍

OK will have to try, sounds terrific! Thanks so much for sharing!

This was sooo useful thank you. I'm just about to order some.

@jenniferlane2948 Год назад

Oh Krissy. Thanks so much for this. I am working on a very small child with dark brick colors around her and a brown door. Red seems to smudge badly so I am going to give it a shot. I have had frisket film for a while and have been nervous to use it. I had a bad experience with the liquid so please pray for me!!!

@Xrissart Год назад

Hi Jennifer you are most welcome. Make sure your blade is super sharp. That way you won't need to put pressure on the blade. Perhaps do a practice on a scrap sheet 🤔 thanks for watching 😍

@wendiobrien 6 лет назад

Xrissart yes....it was good...I have no complaints....well maybe one....it is FREAKING COLD OUTSIDE.

@Xrissart 6 лет назад

Wendi OBrien Yes well I'm melting from the heat. Rather the heat from the cold any day!

@wendiobrien 6 лет назад

Xrissart agree. Heat better than cold. We supposed to get freezing rain and snow tomorrow...this is not typical weather for where we live. We usually get maybe a couple of freezes in the winter but nothing like this here. It’s just crazy this year. 🤦‍♀️ on the plus side. Good day to make art...but then again what day isn’t?

@Xrissart 6 лет назад

Bad about the cold. Yeah don't envy you at all. As for Art, I'm with ya on that one. As you say Wendi "Keep Arting!!!

@pentachronic 2 года назад

Any tips on adding a mask on top of an already committed layer of pastel ? Let's say for example I have a field/countryscape and I leave a mask for a house. Ideally I want to place the house over the edge of the previous layer to avoid halos/fringing. I'd like to mask out the "underpainting" so that it doesn't get damaged. I'm new to this so maybe there's a technique for this already ?

Hi Godzilla, apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I have tried masking on top of pastel work, I was successful but it was over a small area and haven't done it since. I feel it's hit and miss. I think if you can be careful with applying the masking film otherwise I probably wouldn't recommend it. Pastel on paper is such a delicate thing. Thank you for your question.

@annihilator45 6 лет назад

That is super masking film. You could use dies to cut out flourishes or basic shapes. Thanks for sharing this video 😁.

Me encantan tus videos,cual es la marca de los gises pastel que utilizas el video

@Xrissart 2 года назад

Hello Enriquez, thank you for your question. I use PanPastels and soft pastels. I enjoy using panpastels very much. Thank you for watching my videos.

@shanynkaysprague6097 6 месяцев назад

Does this work well on canvas or rough surfaces with pastels?

@Xrissart 6 месяцев назад

Good question. I haven't tried it, but I suspect your canvas should have a tight weave. I know that masking tape works though. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂 🙏

@barbarakrantz9353 4 месяца назад

What kind of brushes do you use with pan pastels?

@Xrissart 4 месяца назад

Hi Barbara, I use all kinds of brushes, but usually synthetic watercolour and make-up brushes. I have plenty of videos here where on my channel where you see and hear me talk about them. Hope this helps. Happy painting 😀

@fauxurfancy Год назад

I need to buy some masking film. I think it’s expensive here in the US. You have to buy a roll and it’s $30+.

@sallyosenton8734 6 лет назад

Hi, would masking liquid work the same? What is best? I promise to start drawing soon. On holiday so hopefully can get time for a play x

@Xrissart 6 лет назад

Hey Sally, thank you for your question, haven't tried the masking fluid. I may have to experiment. My only concern would be when you try to remove it you may destroy some of the pastel work you've done. No harm in experimenting on a separate piece of paper, you just don't know what you may find. But just wanted to confirm I achieve the best results on Pastelmat this surface is terrific.

@stevesmith92 6 лет назад

I am laughing,,,so easy. For larger areas to be covered do you experience air bubbles under film? Can you lay it over Pastels or CP without it lifting up pigment?

@Xrissart 6 лет назад

Steve hopefully this has been helpful. Yes, so, so easy (no mysteries). No bubbles under with the one that I'm using. I used a drawing pencil in this demonstration and nothing lifted which was great. However, I think with Pastels the pigment may lift off, depending on the application. I would say colour pencil will not lift off which is cool.

@stevesmith92 6 лет назад

Thank you so very much taking the time. I am shaking my head at how easy it is. I thought it would be a little more challenging than it was. I think you may be right about CP and Pastels.

@ruthburley7386 5 лет назад

Great info!! I've seen low tack and high tack of the Frisket brand. Which one would be best for pastels on sanded paper?

@Xrissart 5 лет назад

Hi Ruth thank you for your question. I use Masking Film by X-press IT. This is fabulous stuff and works great on most surfaces. Thank you so much for watching🎨😊

@lkk07 6 лет назад

What masking film are you using and where did you get it?

@Xrissart 6 лет назад

lkk07 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. The masking film I use is called X-Press IT Mask IT, I purchased this from Eckersley's Art and Crafts in Australia. This is also known as Frisket. This is fantastic stuff and helps so much with my work😀😀😀😀👍

I just found sheets on amazon 10""x15'' 8 sheets for $12ish

@Xrissart 5 лет назад

Cool stuff Rico, you can also purchase this on a roll. This has made a such a difference in the way I work and I'm sure this will help you also. Thank you for letting me know. Happy painting 👍😀
