Hi Theresa, I have used masking fluid on stretched canvas but not on fabrics. I've used it on hard board as well and other ridgid surfaces because its easier to rub off. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

@@robertdutton9777 thanks

Many thanks.

So silly that you came back four months later and watched it all over again. If this demonstration is so lacking and 'silly', let's have a link to your much more sensible video on the subject, Bob Ross.

Hi, all depends on which brand. Derwent create some amazing saturated coloured pencils which are water soluble too - besides inktense. Worth checking them out.

Thank you, you are very welcome. Nitram have created some very exciting NEW products for artists to use recently. These include Charcoal aquarelle which comes in a small flat compact tin and is a compressed media which is great to paint with. Liquid charcoal also available in tube form. Do check out their website and products. More of my paintings to be found in their artists gallery too. Enjoy!

@@RobertDuttonFineArt Aquarelle is one of my favorite media! I use Derwent aquarelle graphite, and Derwent tinted charcoal pencils. I will certainly try Nitrams products. I checked out more of your videos lastnight, your artistic gift is exceptional. Thank you again!🇺🇲🖌🖊🖋🎨

Hi there. I use Inktense pastels on a whole variety of paper surfaces - watercolour and textured pastel papers mostly. I don't use mine on canvas but I know you can. In fact, they are often used to dye and colour fabrics too! Best withes with your Inktense creating and thanks for watching.

@@RobertDuttonFineArt thank you very much 😊

Hi, I've not created such a specific video as this but many of the techniques shown can be applied to your subjects you want to paint. Personally light washes over each other on rougher papers followed by dry Inktense pencils and blocks work a treat for what you are looking for!

Hi Jael, I'm glad you liked the video. Examples of my drawings to help further your creative exploration can be found at www.rdcreative.co.uk if you want to take a look. I also wrote a book with LOTS of drawings using Nitram and other media in this Search Press release. You can buy from Amazon if you are interested. Here is a link for you www.amazon.co.uk/Innovative-Artist-Landscapes-innovative-techniques/dp/1782217584 All the very best with your own art

@@RobertDuttonFineArt thank you!

Hi ByChanchala, apologies for the delay in response. Delighted you like the video and found it useful to you. There is no need to spray Inktense pastel after the painting is complete of during actually. The pastel remains in place and unlike conventional soft pastel, doesn't smear. Some artists have sprayed their completed Inktense pastel paintings with gloss, mat or satin varnish and not even put them behind glass. Another option worth considering. Hope all that helps. Hopefully in the new year I will release some more professional films of me in practice so...do keep in touch. Enjoy your art - particularly with Inktense!

Hi J Asisterti, thanks for your comments.One solution to the film build up if you get any, is to wipe of with a slightly damp cloth. This works. I do this periodically anyway to keep my Inktense sticks clean. Enjoy and thanks again

Hi Patricia, thanks for the comment. Most kind. You too can be as good. It's a case of effort to reward really. Drawing skills are of prime importance. Nothing fancy - just an understanding of the basics as perspective, tone and composition. Other skills are gained as you get going. I have had a recent book published called 'Drawing Dramatic Landscapes'. In the book I use lots of different media including Nitram charcoal. you may be interested in that. Here is a link: rdcreative.co.uk/shop/drawing-dramatic-landscapes-publication Good luck with everything creative you do too.

Thank you and delighted you found the video to your liking and thanks for subscribing.

Hi Chazz, Thanks for your comments. Delighted to hear that the video has inspired you to add to your renewed enthusiasm to get painting again. I never tire of woodlands and trees. A subject I have included in my new book by Search press called 'Drawing Dramatic Landscapes' Link here if you are interested rdcreative.co.uk/shop/drawing-dramatic-landscapes-publication There will be more films featuring soon so do keep visiting. I add them here too when done rdcreative.co.uk/films All the best and thanks again.

Simone that's great to hear. The Inktense sticks will be a great compliment to both of those too.

That's great to hear. They are indeed great to work with as you have discovered.
