Thank you for introducing me to woodies. I have never hear of them. I will order them next time I have the money to spend. You are an amazing artist. I'm new to your channel and am very much enjoying your videos. God bless you for sharing your art and techniques.
This video was such a great lesson in adding details to complete a composition. I learned essential skills that I can now add to my work. Thanks again for sharing your talents. It's much appreciated.
I like the collage of the apples. The subject matter is so simple yet your work is strong making the app,es so much more. I like the woodies to another thing to add to my growing list of art supplies. My list never get smaller. By the way I love your hair Color
Thanks Anna, it's an old one but a nice example of subtle shading with collage papers. I love the woodies and use them a lot but even so, they last forever! My list never gets smaller either, the beauty of mixed media I guess. Thanks about the hair color! I do it myself and was mixing things the other day and came out with this dark! but it will lighten up soon enough. :) Happy Friday Anna
I love knowing that I can add water to my Stabilo Woodies! Good to know they are available in open stock now too. This was a lovely video to watch. The Woodies add such a subtle difference and lovely texture in some spots, and I love how you used them on the background!
Thank you so much! I wish you could see the background in person, it has this lovely richness to it. The Woody’s blended out, but then I went over it with more mark making and so it’s beautiful purple over brown. I love the fact that they’re in open stock because I only needed the pastels, I have most of the other colors. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Timely video. I have been looking at and really want them. I am actively looking for a used set because I can't justify buying them new with the similar supplies I already have.
@@ElizabethStHilaire I recommend it. Most of my art supplies are from Marketplace, Craigslist, Mecari and the thrift store. I have mostly professional supplies worth thousands of dollars but I paid about $800 for EVERYTHING I have.
I adore your backgrounds...i often find myself rewatching your videos so i can see the art on your walls...if its possible could you do a tour of your art work on your walls...enjoyed this video and found it interesting and informative..mikelle art mpm👩🎨✍🎨
OOH!!!! Can't wait to get some pastel Woodie's! I bought a bunch of brights open stock over 10 years ago, and they are such a favorite for travel sketching / painting. Thanks for showing us how you use in your paintings - and how you seal them.
OMG Elizabeth! Talent meets play! Loved watching and listening to you on this one. How great that this piece was sitting, waiting and you injected it with such great life. Loved it!
Love the appelpainting, its amazing how vibrant the background became after edding the woodies. I made my first paper painting ( inspired by your work) but I had the feeling something was missing, now I think I know how to fix it!!!
This is stunning and you are a wonderful teacher. Could you please share what the surface is that you worked on? The textures sounds interesting as you make marks.
@@minnahumble2294 I’ve been a professional artist for a long time and I have my degree in art. I’m a pretty good resource for many things and happy to share. :)
Thanks, Elizabeth. Fun painting! Love the accents this product provides. How are these different than watercolor pencils or pastels since those are also water soluble?
They are very creamy and you can blend them with your fingers or a brush or even add a little water to them to blend them even further. Plus giving the nature of the wood they won't break in your hands like pastels will.
@@juliecranford534 plus I meant to add the feature that since they are water soluble you can literally wipe them off like she said in the video with a paper towel that's wet or a baby wipe if you don't like what it did.
The wonderful part about these pencils Michelle is that they require no tooth. Pastel pencils or watercolor pencils will not write on the top of Collage glue because they require a tooth
Thank you for sharing another tidbit on the Woodies. I bought a set after you last video, and haven’t been too sure about using them. Do you put clear gesso over top? I found they didn’t glide very well over the collage glue I used.
Hi Brenda, the two are very different. The Derwent, which I love and have, require a tooth just like colored pencil or graphite pencil. The beauty of the woodies is that they do not require a tooth and they will write on glass! So what does this mean? we can mark make on TOP of the collage glue, which is acrylic and dries to a slick surface that the InkTense cannot grab onto. Hope that helps!
I learned a lot about finishing a collage from watching this video. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill!
My pleasure and I am glad to hear that Brenda!
Love watching this detailed nit picky creation…. Right up my alley. Lol
Thanks!
I love hearing you explain your thinking while you work. Thank you. ❤
I have been a workshop teacher for a really, really long time. So I feel as though I give a good demo! Thanks so much Fran

Beautiful work. You are amazing. Love playing with my woodies. They are a forgiving medium.
They really are, I love them as well especially these pastels
Supernice!!!❤ Love those apples!!
Thanks so much!
It’s amazing to hear you talk thru what you see, take action based on the same, and then see the results.

I enjoyed that very much, and found it to be very interesting also. Thanks and God Bless.

Have loved Woodies for a while, but the pastels are new to me! Thanks for showing them.
My pleasure! I really like them when you want more subtle colors
Elizabeth I absolutely love the simplicity of this beautiful apple composition. Stunning. It is such a great example of your technique.
Thank you! It’s a wonderful lesson in shading.

I love your work. So my question is that are the woodies pastels?
They are pastel colors.
🤩superbe merci pour ce partage 🙏
Merci!
Gorgeous art and wonderful ideas! Thank you so much for sharing! (Headed out to search for the Woodies!
My pleasure! They are on sale 30% OFF with my link below
You have me intrigued with woodies....where do you order them
The link for 30% OFF Woodies with Joggles Is below the video.
hi it is lee and I have been in a pastel color mood of lately
Me too, coincidentally!
This is stunning and you are a wonderful teacher. Could you please share what the surface is that you worked on? The textures sounds interesting as you make marks.
Thanks so much Susan! I am working on a wood panel, I purchased it raw wood and applied Golden GAC-100 plus two layers of gesso. Hope that helps!
Are you new stencils someplace? I know I saw that you said you have a new set, but I can’t find it. Love this tidbit!!! Thanks ❤
Hi Janet, they will be available next week! Are you subscribe to my mailing list?
I love my woodies. Would love to get the pastel set, but they are sold out already.
they are not sold out! Set of six pastels, on sale for 30% OFF: shrsl.com/3filn
I’m wondering what would happen if you used acrylic medium instead of water with the Stabilos.
Give it a try!
Thanks for sharing! Love this. So talented. Can I ask what you use to seal the entire piece so it's even. Last coat . I have the woodies. Love them.
Acrylic brush varnish! Link below the video.
Are the Woodies similar to the Neocolor II?
I’m not sure because I do not have the Neocolor
Thank you for another great video. How many coats of the Crystal Clear do you put on ?
One of two very light, then do the smudge test. Not much.
Can you scratch on a palette add water and make a watercolor puddle of paint to use ?
You can, yes!
Can you clarify what you mean when you say you bought something through Open Stock? I've not heard that term before.
Purchasing individual pencils one-at-a-time versus in a set.
I love dem apples!
Have you tried Krylon fixative to seal the woodie marks? Is there something you like better about the Krylon crystal clear?
Fixative is typically “workable” and can still smudge. The Crystal Clear is a complete seal.
@@ElizabethStHilaire Thanks. That important info!

Thank for another great video. I have always wanted to try the woodies, but I am concerned about their light-fastness. So are they lightfast?
From what I have read they are. I have been using them for years and have not noticed any fading.
Thank you for sharing another tidbit on the Woodies. I bought a set after you last video, and haven’t been too sure about using them. Do you put clear gesso over top? I found they didn’t glide very well over the collage glue I used.
I have no problem with them mark making on Liquitex gloss gel. I don’t need any clear gesso
Elizabeth if I have Derwent Intense pencils do you think it’s still worth getting the Woodies?
Hi Brenda, the two are very different. The Derwent, which I love and have, require a tooth just like colored pencil or graphite pencil. The beauty of the woodies is that they do not require a tooth and they will write on glass! So what does this mean? we can mark make on TOP of the collage glue, which is acrylic and dries to a slick surface that the InkTense cannot grab onto. Hope that helps!

@@brendacollinsdeeks7268 sure!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎨🎨🎨
The gray background was boring to me. The vibrant colors in the background now really make the yellow green pop!
Yes! It made a big difference, didn’t it?
