I find flowers in pencil a lot harder than animals, birds or still life, yet I find flowers easier in oils and watercolours. Despite this, I still have problems with yellow flowers in all mediums. I just can't get the tones right in yellow, but I can in other colours.

I was thrilled to see you recommend the Daler Rowney paper. I bought a pad a month or so ago and as I' was finishing a couple of other pieces, I have only just started using this pad. However, it is one of the only papers I can buy locally, without having to drive an hour or more each way or paying a fortune in postage. All the others are just way too expensive in Australia for a hobbyist, if they are even available. One that I found quite by accident was from Kmart. It said watercolour paper but when I got it home, it was thickish cartridge paper. The front side is too rough for pencils but the back is smoother and holds pencil layers well. I recently bought another, but when I opened that, it's not the same, more like blotting paper, with a mauve tint to it. Yesterday I was back on Officeworks, and low and behold, there was a home brand pad that looks very similar to the original Kmart pad so I bought one to try it out. Sometimes it's worth trying something cheap. If it doesn't work out, the grandkids are happy enough to use it.

Excellent advice. Thank you.

I love you are you are the best person on planet Earth?

Hi Samantha, Loving your videos and teaching method. Can I just ask what papers are you using? Thanks

Hi Samantha, I love your realistic work. It's really mind-blowing. I also like your new Acrylic paintings are lovely too. Your acrylic paintings remind me of underwater scenery like looking under water perhaps a coral reef. They are adorable so carry on enjoying what you are doing.

Excellent

Do you have a website because your links do not work cheers

How much did you charge for this and how many years have you been art-ing my love??❤🎉 this is gorgeous im about to start two german shepherd commissions from a single person and i dont know what to do!! I dont want to overcharge with how expensive everything is nowadays but i dont want to screw myself over as an artist and sell myself short😮

Hi Sam, as one artist to another, you make some lovely points and observations for those starting and thinking of starting to take note of. enjoyed the video, cheers Paul

Is it feasible to put a base down with pastel and then use coloured pencils over the pastel or does that not work?

Just what I needed starting with colour pencils. Please share a link to the paper you use as there are so many Pastelmat versions that it is hard to know and easier to find out from a pro like yourself. Thank you. And by the way, your art is amazing, I'm so glad I've found you. Subbed.

Nice

I love this so much I don’t understand why it’s not more popular ❤ keep doing what you do and I’m sure you will get more praise for it ❤❤

Hi Samantha, just came across your video it was so calming. I have never tried coloured pencils I have bought some but never used them as I don't know where to start. Having watched a few of your Utube videos I may be ready to make a start. Please make more of your lovely videos. Thank you.

That is thesame owl my grandma drew for my aunt it is her favorite animal and she recently passed so seeing that picture made my day thank yoy

Very nice!

My favourite paper for coloured pencils is the Derwent lightfast paper. It‘s a 100% cotton, hot pressed paper in a light cream colour. I love it, but it‘s a bit pricey.

Very useful,thanks.

Very helpful.

Very interesting. What's the advantage of using pastelmat over everything else? Does it allow you to stack more layers compared to other papers?

Hi Sam, have just found your channel and enjoyed your chat about this book. Love your work - it’s very beautiful and you’re very skilled! I’m a “loose” watercolor painter so I admire the way you work with such patience - amazing job!!!

I'm a life long artist going from realism, tattoos, to painting with acrylic. It's very challenging. It's like learning to be an artist all over again.

Loving this. Always liked drawing with graphite x
