I now realize that whenever I am struggling with painter's block, all I need to do is to watch some of these videos. And then I'm in the mood to create right away!!!! After books, TH-cam is the most underrated treasure trove in the world!! ❤️
Chalk pastels & chalk pastel pencils work great over & under acrylic paint.....even in portraits. U can really achieve a unique but familiar look.....aged & traditional while enjoying the benefits of modern tools such as fast dry times. When u r in the zone & would prefer to continue with layers, no need to wait or switch to another painting. Thanks for the content! Much respect ✌🏻
I am really enjoying these videos; they are liberating. My daughter found art school to be really constricting, U of C doesn't have a great art faculty; so she went into art history/German/linguistics; but has watched these videos and left muttering about leaving the country and really studying art elsewhere.
I enjoyed New York Academy of Art. I did 12 weeks at Slade and found it constricting - too much theory and too little skills training. Did a month in Florence and found it too constricting because it was too traditional even though they actually taught us painting skills. NYAA was my personal happy medium. Expensive studying in NYC though.
A very very good video and demonstration!! Thank you! I respect Paula Rego and her work very much. I was fascinated to learn from you how she achieves her effects. Good luck with your own very talented work.
Somehow I’ve never seen these works of art, but not that I have I’m incredibly inspired to create some art inspired by her! I also wanted to say that this video was beautifully filmed, and the artist teaching did a wonderful job ❤️
I met Paula, very briefly, while she was Artist-in-Residence at the National Gallery. She incorporated many of the staff into the sequence of paintings she made for the restaurant in the new wing of the gallery. A truly amazing, and deeply disturbing, on occasion, artist. And a wonderful woman. One of the great European artists of our time.
She was a disturbed woman, so she naturally made disturbing art. Unless it's a commission with strict specifications by the patron, art is a reflection of the artist.
Exceptional. As a visual art educator I find myself using TATE very often. This is perfect timing as we are teaching narrative work based on the imagery adn stories of the Grimm's Fairy Tales. Thank you for creating and positing this film... I am sharing it tomorrow!
I really enjoyed watching this video, although I have just gone back to using pastels in the past after not using it for more than a decade, this gave me so much motivation and try using the techniques of Paula Rego, and beautifully demonstrated by Katy Papineau. Thank you so much!
Looks like Katy is using Lascaux fixatitve. Lascaux claims it's not smudge proof, but doesn't change the appearance. Apparently it's difficult using a fixative that sets a pastel picture without changing the way it looks. I don't know what Rego uses, but Degas used a casein based one.
Lovely but Rego not only inspire on fairy tales, she work with power tematic, and that make her work complex and profound. She didn't mean to be "cute" or "simple", she is a great artist.
She may have done this, but she was fascinated by a certain woman who worked with her through many paintings. She would pose this woman with props, just as we see in this video. You can see her rather masculine face in much of Rego's work. Sorry, I can't recollect her name.
@@Earnshawfully I know she had an assistant, but much of her work was first making up models to draw from, and that was part of her assistants work. I read that somewhere a long time ago. I shall have to do some research
How to paint like Michelangelo 1. Be born in a period called the Renaissance 2. Be extremely talented. 3. Acquire patrons. Popes are a good bet. 4. Lie on your back and paint until your back torments you. 4. Have such a burning drive for perfection that you alienate nearly everyone and you see enemies everywhere. Die wondering if it was really worth it
When you talk about using Conte pencils to draw the outlines, which specific ones do you mean? Theres the charcoal ones, the graphite ones, and the drawing ones to choose from? Thanks anybody x
Maybe she's using unsanded pastel paper. In that case applying gesso makes the paper grittier and allows the paper to hold multiple layers of pastel easily.
I love art but when i see or imagine myself drawing using live reference..it makes me anxious, am i taking too long? Im definitely taking too long and this model probably feel tired(even though its their job😐)
Don't worry. You're not taking too long. It can be a slow process and people work at their own pace. There's no right or wrong speed for creating art. We paused every 20 minutes so that the artist and model could take a break. See if that works for you :-)
Which folk tale would inspire your pastel drawing?
Tate Hansel and Gretel 🍄
the Japanese folk tale of the ghost of Yugao (1886), by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi
the Russian tale - the girl Vasalissa; who is sent to Baba Yaga's hut to get some fire for her stepmother's cottage fire.
not a fairytale but Alice in Wonderland
Baba Yaga.
Makes me realize how much I need art in my life.
Same. I live for art, I can't without it. ❤️
Yaayy! I hope you find enjoyment in your art journey 💕🖌️
I agree I believe everyone should try art they would realize how calming it is.

SO TRUE!!!!
I definitely didn’t search for this video but did enjoy watching it haha! The explore page works in mysterious ways
I love this series. Easy to digest, in depth, and tactile.
The quiet strength that radiates from emotion and imagination. Beautiful!

I love that saying : the picture allows you to feel all sorts of forbidden things
So true! That's why I sometimes get anxious when I paint

Maybe she can look into online courses at the better schools, considering what happened to Paula Rego when she attended the Slade School of Fine Art.

I love Paula Rego’s work. Thank you so much for this!
Lovely job and so nice to discover the talented artist that is Katy Papineau.
This girl has the sweetest voice along with that lovely English accent. It's inspired me to learn how to draw and paint.
I am hard-pressed to not fall in love with you Katy...but your voice is making it impossible :)
I would to love more art exhibitions on pastel artworks and drawings.

This is so insightful and calming, thank you

Lovely! Inspired my morning!
A beautifully presented and well-filmed video. I was intrigued to find out how it would look at the end! I'm going to search for more of these now. :)
Awesome drawing! Thanks for the demonstration.
wow! This video is amazing! Her voice is like silk and her skills in making and in explaining are phenomenal! 👏🏼👏🏼
Her voice is so nice
Excellent , thank you Tate and of course Katy Papineau. Very inspiring.
Although not properly my view of art, I have learned a lot and appreciated the hard work behind the works. Thank you very much for this video!
Always a pleasure to hear Queen's English. When will I see you draw like yourself, in your style?
This is really a great concept ! Very interesting and fun
That was really good. You ended up with a great piece of work.

Thanks great video I tried it but mine looks nothing like yours yours is so good but I’m glad I gave it a try thanks for sharing
That voice is art itself

I use hairspray which darkens the image. So I always bare it in mind when I start an image
There are probably no fixatives that doesn’t changes your image even a bit, including pastel or charcoal work.
I love working with chalk pastel on strawboard
I would really love to see a video about *oil* pastels and Paula Rego. If you need any video ideas Tate ;) that would be lovely
loved this - really great video!
Замечательная студия. Вдохновляет 💞
Презентация отличная - это всё, что могу сказать.
That's beautiful. ❤️
Pastel drawing comforts us with another soft texture from watercolors.
Great content! I really like this artist, inspirational :)
wonderful
Thank you!
Thank you!
A very good lesson in technique.
It was unusual and new. Really interesting and a pleasure to watch and listen to! Thank you!
Wonderful and her work was very mysterious, I’m glad she had it. Probably saved her. All art does. It seems.
Great one ❤️❤️
This is a great video
Very interesting 👍🏻
This, is real contemporary art.
Do a how to paint like Alphonse mucha
YES.
Beautiful!!!
Lovely but Rego not only inspire on fairy tales, she work with power tematic, and that make her work complex and profound. She didn't mean to be "cute" or "simple", she is a great artist.
Power tematic?
@@Fyrtenheimer Im pretty sure they meant 'thematic' as in subject matter
@@hayleyb467 ohhhh, thanks
The folk tales of John Henry, Dashrath Manjhi, and War . Man versus Machine, Man versus Nature and Man versus Man.
Thank you, enjoyed this.
what a fantastic video thank you for sharing
Beautiful!
Wow
Omg a Portuguese artist! yesss
Omg I'm sorry I don't mean to freak u out but u are so cute
Cuty bife
Wonderful
=) That was cool. Thank you. =)
Beautiful work
nice! thank you
great style of art. im not saying this often, this is nice!
Loved everything about this video. Subscribed.
Didn't Rego use dolls and model rooms rather than people?
She may have done this, but she was fascinated by a certain woman who worked with her through many paintings. She would pose this woman with props, just as we see in this video. You can see her rather masculine face in much of Rego's work. Sorry, I can't recollect her name.
@@Earnshawfully I know she had an assistant, but much of her work was first making up models to draw from, and that was part of her assistants work. I read that somewhere a long time ago. I shall have to do some research
@@Earnshawfully The assistant's name is Lila Nunes
@@Tate Thank you!
a good way to get inspiration...
Wonderful 💋 thank you ❣️😊
Beautiful
love this. thank you.
This is a unique technique
‘Well done’ Katy! Great work, you’ve just helped unblock me.
wow
I make pastel drawings myself but I'm more into realism.
Excellent 👏🏻👏🏻💖
Well done!
Çok güzel, şahane 👌👍👏👏
1:45 and a hundred years of hard practice
Wonderful presentation. Thank you. Source of your red smock?

Legend has it that the model is still sleeping

How to paint like Modigliani pls :D
Brilliant
goooood!
qute voice
👌👌👌
Nice tutorial. But did I miss a step? When did the black paint come in?
At the beginning a bit of black paint was mixed with white gesso for the gray undercoat :)
@@Lena-gadam ah okay. Thanks!
Why pastel paper if gesso is going to be applied over it anyway? Would not any paper work in this case?
Maybe she's using unsanded pastel paper. In that case applying gesso makes the paper grittier and allows the paper to hold multiple layers of pastel easily.
Excuse me, what spray do you put onto the surface?
Katy used Lascaux fixatitve.
I love art but when i see or imagine myself drawing using live reference..it makes me anxious, am i taking too long? Im definitely taking too long and this model probably feel tired(even though its their job😐)

@@Tate ah i see. Thank you for telling me!❤️😊
Does fixative allow to put colour over it ?
Paula rego is an amazing artist and a very nice lady
She may be polite, but she is NOT nice at all (a very dishonest woman) and hence her art is mostly disturbing.
@@cg8397 well I don't know very much about her, I think you know more than me
One can learn a lot while coping other artists
suoer!!!!
