Watched this again for the umpteenth time and I love your use of colour. This shows where experience comes in and that you can pop in colours and as long as the tonal values work then it all ties in perfectly! Thankyou!!!
I bought the Panpastel set you demonstrate. I've never used pan pastels before. Easier to use then I thought especially after watching your tutorials. I love these and I love your videos. You're wonderful at teaching.

Lisa, you are extremely Talented and i would stay in front of my screen watch you paint this Gorgeous Dog, i really love the way you did your tutorial, you explain so well and the cheery on the cake is this Amazing Animals Palette, i will buy this one for shure because i love painting Animals, i've just finished to do my wolves with oil painting and to me painting Animals make me feel so close to Nature so anyway Thank You so very much Lisa for this Fantastic tutorial and for the Pan Pastels combo you've created, love this Art supplies a lot and your Stunning picture at the end are speachless, they are Spectacular and look just like a Photos, i really enjoy to watch and can't wait to seen other tutos from you Lisa, Have a wonderful Day and Big Thank's, love your Doggy what is the name of this Beautiful Dog, i have a Black Poodle and i love Her so much my hubby his always say you love Cloee more then me LOL!
Thank YOU so much for the amazing positive feedback. Apologies for the late reply but I have been out of the country teaching & non stop for it seems like forever! I aim to create more tutorials using the Pans starting with a polar bear later this month. Very excited to start that one!
Thank you so much Joy. Most of my in depth tutorials are exclusive to my teaching channel but you can find a list of most f them here www.animalartbylaw.co.uk/video-tutorials
You can put the whole paper under the tap and wash off a picture leaving an underpainting if you like. I love this paper its perfect for animals. You can also colour the paper yourself or buy the coloured primer to add to the natural paper.
Thanks for your great drawings. Why dont you use coloured pencils rather than pastel pencils? Is it because you can get finer lines? I just see they are water colour pencils..what is the difference between them and ordinary coloured pencils?
Lisa is there a tutorial of this method of using pan pastel on your Patreon channel? Ism very interested in learning more about using pan pastel as an underpainting for the dog itself. Love this!!
I mainly use colourfix smooth ,the blue haze, for my animals. I have found a big difference in the tooth of the paper, sometimes the sheets feel exactly the same as the colourfix original. Have you experienced that? I wonder is it the shop i buy from mixing up the 2 or is it normal for this paper? You are the only other person Ive seen using it so would love your opinion. Thnx
Hi, the Sofft tool sponges I simply wipe off on a piece of kitchen paper to remove the excess pigment. I do the same for the bigger sponges but they can be handwashed. I pop them into a small laundry bag & wash & dry them.
I love panpastels and your demo is so helpful...do you clean your sofft tools? if so how do you clean them and do you keep one tool for one colour? Also, do you know if panpastels are lightfast?
Hi Betty, yes, I use kitchen roll/paper & just wipe the excess pastel off every now and again. I tend to use new sponges for light colours though & then demote them to being used for darker colours when they are saturated. You can wash the bigger sponges. Re the Lightfast question please refer to their website where they show the ASTM results for the lightfast testings panpastel.com/questions.html#7
Hi Deirdre, no, I very rarely ever use fixative. The papers that I use are designed to grip & hold pastel so there is little or no dust that comes off the finished piece. As long as the piece is matted & framed well & ahead of framing I keep the finished pieces wrapped in glassine paper to prevent anything smudging the artwork
Thank you. All coloured pencils have a proportion of wax & oil but I used a few Pablos & a few Polychromos. Pablos have a little more wax binder & Polychromos a bit more of the oil
Sorry, but this isn’t a good exercise for people, who want to lent something about PanPastells. You work only short time with PanPastells. The most of the time you took the Pastellpens from „maybe“ STABILO or another brand, I don’t know, but the pens aren’t PanPastells. Nothing else is possible. And you made a copy in the beginning from this cocker, but you didn’t draw this self or you you don’t show this. So this is not your drawing I think. And you don’t tell this, or show it, how you made this copy. Sorry, but this isn’t a good exercise for PanPastells.
This was to demo my panpadtel set and how I use them with coloured pencils. This is what I am best known for. I can confirm that the drawing was definitely mine. I have nearly 100 full in depth tutorials showing the whole process of creating animal portraits including how to create your line work. There was a time restraint on this video fa's it had to be a short demo that showed the colours in my set. I've plenty of other resources that I offer for free as learning resources for people. It's a shame you didn't understand that this was not a full tutorial, just a short demo
