Hello talented artist! Your piece of art looks fabulously magical! You created a very positive and bright autumn drawing! I wish you a wonderful creative day and a joyful mood! With a smile, Mr. Hi! :)
Hullo Lana, thank you for sharing this beautiful fall foliage painting with us! You have a keen eyes and fantastic color sense! Thank you for sharing your amazing expertise with us. Please take care, be safe and enjoy your day!
Thank you so much for this TH-cam video. I'm also doing your self directed video on Fall trees. It's a challenge to get that glow, but you explain it so well. Looking forward to practicing what I learned!
This is a really useful tutorial, Lana, thank you! I am just starting out with pastels and find it to be a fascinating medium. It is great to see how you sculpt the painting and never blend the colors with your finger. I will be learning a lot from your tutorials.
Welcome to pastels! There are two main types of papers for pastels - non sanded (less expensive, good for learning, studies, sketches) and special sanded papers (great for multiple layers of color). Some examples of good ones for each type: non sanded - Canson, sanded - UART. You'll need to try some to understand the difference and what you like.
I like the look of using the charcoal pencil; may I ask, what color charcoal is that? Also, is there a certain softness (number?) that you used. I found this video very help. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks! I'd use a soft charcoal pencil, but I might have had only medium during the video, not sure. I also have a black pastel pencil so that would work as well for that linear work.
Okay, thank you. I do have a couple of soft charcoal pencils, all different shades of gray-brown-black and also pastel pencil. I find that black is too harsh, just sticks out too much. I'm really learning a lot from these videos. Thank you. I have been painting in pastel for 3 years now, but I seem to have gotten into a slump. I have not painted anything I like in a while now.@@LanaBallot
@@reneekroyer5104 I'm glad the videos help 😊 I hope you continue painting even if you get discouraged by the results for sometime. Also try to figure out what exactly you don't like in a failed work, something specific, that helps to improve in those areas.
Yes, I will keep trying I've spent too much time on pastels to give it up. lol I think a lot of time, I paint from photos, and I have an idea in my head what I want it to look like, but fail to make it. I think I try to put in too much detail. I'm learning, slowly. I need to simplify things but I love detail, yet I love impressionistic work, so it is a mystery to me. lol@@LanaBallot
Love it. So beautiful! Yes, more autumn leaves please.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🍁

Hello I am new to soft pastels... What kind of papers are suitable for them? Love your videos so much ❤️
