Thank you for the inspiration. I also am new to pan pastels and pastel pencils, but I love the feeling of them. I bought a pad of pastelmat, and have only used it once, but found it to be quite foreign feeling, but perhaps it's a matter of getting used to it. I like using watercolour paper also, I heard a tip from a pan pastel artist to lightly sand the coating off the paper first. It's so daunting for a beginner artist to pay so much for materials, when I'm just dabbling to learn.
You're very welcome @Robyn19fnq so glad you were inspired by this video. Why not experiment different types of paper even inexpensive ones and see which effect you like best, once you are more confident try your pastelmat again. P.S. Some watercolour papers do have more sizing than others , I like the idea of sanding the coating off a bit. Again try experimenting with some inexpensive watercolour paper. Much love and happy creating.❤️
Beautiful painting. Thanks for all the tips on using pencils. I relatively new to pastels, just invested in the pans this week, so this will be helpful. I’d love to see your take on paper, as pastelmat is so expensive, but pastels really require enough tooth to hold the layers!
Thank you♥♥♥! You are so very welcome @karenluke-mannarino3426 , so glad you liked the video and found it helpful. I totally agree good paper can be quite expensive..... a paper video on its way. In the mean time experiment with different kinds of water colour papers, they have good weight and often nice textures to play with. Happy creating.♥
Wow! So beautiful!
Woke up to these lovely words. Thank you so very much @milenabdesign. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️
