Thanks Dar, it was a challenge to edit but I did learn a few things. I probably should have done my final thoughts with the images placed towards the corresponding side that I placed them in for the split screen 📺 😆
Wonderful exploration! It’s so interesting to see that less expensive or substitutes for artist grade supplies have their own merit and surprisingly interesting and fun results! TFS! 💖💖💖
Thanks so much Christine! I have been wanting to do a video like this for awhile, I was very excited when I found this makeup palette at Shopper’s Drugmart 😉
Thanks Von! I think my image transfers were it a bit better (and better explained) in my video from about a year ago (link is in the description). I appreciate your kind comment! 😄
Great video comparing the two. Nice to know about the makeup for an option. I only have the skin tone set of the pan pastels, and haven’t used them yet- of course I want all the pan pastel colors! Thanks for all the info!❤
Beautiful prints, both of them. I'm really impressed by your make-up set. But I'm so lucky to have Pan Pastels. I started with the 3 primary colors red, yellow and blue (all with extension .5 in their articlenumber) plus white and black. You can mix lots of colors with just these 5. Now I have more but it was perfect to start with. Great video, thank you!
I bought my pastels ages ago and hardly used them. I'll have to get back to gel printing and give this a try. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Very cool effect. Love the results. Not so bad of an investment wise with the makeup if one doesn't want to invest in the pastels. Wonderful, loved watching this.
Thanks Judy, I am very glad you found this helpful. I have heard the Jane Davenport ones were pretty good (sounds like you don’t have them anymore though).
This was great and very informative:) Your prints turned out amazing. I still have yet to have a successful magazine transfer. What a great idea to use pastels on the gel plate. I have some Jane Davenport ones so I am going to try playing with those. Thank you!
😯😯lol - wow Devon they came out wonderful - i have used stencils and/or stamping with my transfers but have never tried this - and i love it - thank you so much xx
When I have tried to crush up my fairly firm faberCastel “soft pastels” it didn’t seem to get much pigment adhered to the gelliplate. I find the pan pastels so creamy they go on “like butter”. Did you apply to a gelliplate or directly to paper? Did you apply to a gelliplate or directly to paper?
WOW, great video!!! Makeup is about equal except for how many prints it'll do. I have pastel sticks. I wonder if they would work on gel plate. I guess NOT. But I thought about scraping some powder off to use. Its worth a try. Kirsten uses Pan Pastels a lot! TFS. Austin TX USA
Thanks for watching Barbara! My pastel sticks didn’t work (they were too hard) but I think there are very soft ones that might. Have fun experimenting!
I use an app on my Mac called In Shot. I can shrink the main image and then add a Pip (picture in picture). I pre-edit the video for the pip and then edit the main video once I see how the PIP is working. I can also edit the pip video once it is in there. Probably sounds more complicated than it is. There is likely a more professional way to do it but this worked ok.
I have tried grinding a bit of the “soft pastel” sticks I have (which are actually pretty hard and would be too sharp to use directly on the gelli plate) and it didn’t work very well, the make up actually worked better. I think there are some softer “stick” pastels that might work ok. I guess you would just have to try it and see how it goes. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video, Devon ! 🥳🎉🤗 Just found you today and am very much enjoying your demonstrations / tutorials, thank you. I have a question to ask……For the final pull where you used the pink ( loved the idea for the ombré effect, by the way !!)….I always thought that this final paint layer needs to be translucent or as transparent as possible….but is that pink translucent or opaque ? I wondered about this, because when I zoomed in for a closer look to see the tube details, it had a solid black square on the bottom of the tube, which I thought means that it is opaque ? 🤔🤔 Thanks for your help 🤗🤗
Yes, the rose pink was opaque and the portrait pink was semi-opaque. I feel your final pull layer can be opaque because it will be on the bottom (closest to the paper) when you pull your print. Sometimes you want it to be a thin layer though (even with opaque paint) if you are trying to pick up everything from the plate. But if you want your paper color to show through you would not use an opaque color generally, for example, if you are using a black paper to pick up then you wouldn’t want to use an opaque white paint as your pick up layer (you may as well just use white paper). I will do pickups with opaque or translucent paint (just depends on what is already on the plate, what paper I am picking up with and the effect I want to achieve and often I just go by feel). I think you need to consider not just the opacity but the contrast in terms of colors and how they interact in layers. I hope that has answered your question. If you want a more technical and comprehensive explanation I would recommend you watch @P.M. Artist Studio (if you don’t already), they are great at explaining their paint choices. Thanks so much for watching Sheila!
Thank you so much, Devon, for this very helpful and comprehensive reply ! I have learned a great deal from your response and greatly appreciate it . Your explanation definitely makes sense . Yes….straight after I watched some of your tutorials, I went on to visit P.M Artist Studio. It was my first visit to their channel and agree it was brilliant ! They definitely do go into everything so thoroughly and I have not watched anyone else quite like them before on TH-cam ! Mariah really does go into the nitty gritty and it is very educational listening to her. Such a lovely Mother and daughter team …very down to earth and humorous. Their website is also excellent with all sorts of extra info. I look forward to watching more of your demonstrations, etc. and also wish you continued success with your channel….it is certainly growing 🥳🥳🎉🎉💕💕
I really liked seeing both versions at the same time.

Thanks so much Christine! I have been wanting to do a video like this for awhile, I was very excited when I found this makeup palette at Shopper’s Drugmart 😉
Great upload Devon - I love that you worked on a piece instead of just doing a swatch. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks for watching Lina! I am so glad you enjoyed it 😄
Awesome comparison and girl (!!) you mastered those image transfers!! 😮😃😍♥️❣️👏🏻
Thanks Von! I think my image transfers were it a bit better (and better explained) in my video from about a year ago (link is in the description). I appreciate your kind comment! 😄
Stunning prints! Thanks for doing this comparison
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Shelly! I am so glad you found this video useful! 😄
These are awesome!!! Thanks for sharing the technique.
Thanks so much for watching Kathy! I really appreciate it 😄💙
Loved your comparison! Great colors in both PP and make up. They matched well. 👍💜
Thanks so much Becky! I appreciate you watching and your kind comment! 😄

Yes, Pan Pastels are so blendable so that is a great way to build your collection over time! Thanks for watching! 😄💙
Great comparison of pan pastels and powdered make up. Thank you for side by side. Color swatch shows very similar results as well.
Thanks Lisa! I am glad you found it helpful 😃
Fantastic result and very informative video Devon thank you
Thank you Sharon! I am so glad you found it informative 😄
So interesting especially watching the two at the same time. Ty
Thank you very much Kathy! 😄

I am glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and for your comment 😄
Thanks for showing this! I have a few I picked up years ago. But I love your method
Thanks Yolanda! I am glad you enjoyed it. Have fun with with your Pan Pastels 💖😉
Really interesting idea for a video. I always wondered if makeup would work, as pan pastels are out of my budget right now. Thank you!
I am so glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 😄
Fabulous video my dear...the prints are very funky ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Paulla! 😄💙
Excellent and enjoyable exploration.
thanks you so much for watching and for your kind comment!
You do such great videos! This was very helpful, and fun to watch! Great turnout! I have used Jane Davenport ones.
Thanks Judy, I am very glad you found this helpful. I have heard the Jane Davenport ones were pretty good (sounds like you don’t have them anymore though).
Great prints 💖 I have a small pan pastel set and they were expensive but they are great quality and probably last me for years.
Thanks Michelle! Yes, they are so pigmented and you don’t need to use much. I don’t imagine I will ever run out of the colors I have 😉
Wonderful stream. Have to get my pan pastels out and try them out.
Thanks so much for watching Joan! Have fun! 😃
This was great and very informative:) Your prints turned out amazing. I still have yet to have a successful magazine transfer. What a great idea to use pastels on the gel plate. I have some Jane Davenport ones so I am going to try playing with those. Thank you!
Awesome, let me know how it goes 😄👍 Thanks for watching!
😯😯lol - wow Devon they came out wonderful - i have used stencils and/or stamping with my transfers but have never tried this - and i love it - thank you so much xx
Thanks so much Janet! I hope you found the information useful 💖
@@devonrex4 yes - very inspiring xx
I have shaved chalk pastels with an Xacto knife to apply with a paint brush. Really lovely subtle effects.
When I have tried to crush up my fairly firm faberCastel “soft pastels” it didn’t seem to get much pigment adhered to the gelliplate. I find the pan pastels so creamy they go on “like butter”. Did you apply to a gelliplate or directly to paper? Did you apply to a gelliplate or directly to paper?

Fantastic, thank you.
Thanks for watching! I am glad you enjoyed it!
I’m impressed that you can do split screen.
I use an app on my Mac called In Shot. I can shrink the main image and then add a Pip (picture in picture). I pre-edit the video for the pip and then edit the main video once I see how the PIP is working. I can also edit the pip video once it is in there. Probably sounds more complicated than it is. There is likely a more professional way to do it but this worked ok.
Brava ❤
Thanks for watching! 💖
Love this can you use soft pastels ( sticks) if I ground them um pre application to the plate
I have tried grinding a bit of the “soft pastel” sticks I have (which are actually pretty hard and would be too sharp to use directly on the gelli plate) and it didn’t work very well, the make up actually worked better.

Both prints are very impressive. Excellent comparison and certainly comparable if you didn’t want to invest in Pan Pastels.
