I enjoy getting my fingers in there, more control, more mess, more fun!
I am almost embarrassed to admit how much my mind was blown by the idea of using PanPastel to transfer a drawing instead of graphite! Brilliant!😲
It's really a life saver! I've had so many issues doing it with transfer paper, and when you use Pan pastels you can choose a colour that matches your piece so it blends in 😊
Thank you very much Kirsty .I'm going to register as a patreon because I find the demos I've seen here on TH-cam very inspiring. I am not a beginner but what you do is totally my style and I think I can learn a lot from you
Thankyou, I appreciate it 😊
Welcome to Patreon!
I hope you find Patreon useful, as I don't always do the typical "beginner subjects"... I pick all sorts of animals, landscapes etc but I give instructions that a beginner can also follow along with
So hopefully that will help everyone, no matter where they are on their art journey 😊
Very helpful tips, that I'm likely to remember. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I hope to one day be as good as you, you are amazing
Thank you 😊
some very helpful tips for beginners but also a helpful reminder for people that have used pastels in the past :)
Thankyou 😊
All good advice, thanks. Here are a few comments:
About Tip 1: I prefer to use an overhead transparency sheet rather than paper, because then you can see what's under your hand, so you can get it very close to where you are making your marks. It's also easy to clean and re-use. Because the surface is very smooth it doesn't pick up pastel dust and move it around your artwork.
Step 2: PanPastels have a blender colour, but I've never tried it.
Step 4: For transferring, use a different colour for the final stage of going over the lines, so you can see if you've missed anything.
I've never heard of one before!
I assume it's a completely transparent sheet used for projectors?
That would probably be ideal :)
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Yes, it's a completely transparent plastic sheet for overhead projectors.
Very helpfull Kirsty you are very generous thankyou
Thankyou :)
Great guide Kirsty! I’m a fellow pastel artist (and also do TH-cam videos). You’re a brilliant artist and your videos are always so wonderful to watch! Keep it up!
Thankyou, glad you like them 😊
Brilliant vid, awesome tips! These sort of vids make a huge difference, they just seem silly little details to done, bit to people like me who just want to soak up as much advice about working with pastels to be the best I can be, they're just so helpful! Thx Kirsty💞
Thankyou, I'm glad you find them useful!
These are all the things I discovered through trial and error along the way, so I thought I'd share them to save others from wasting time 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt I find them very helpful and your art is beautiful.
@@hoovesandfrogs Thankyou :)
Pitts really make sharpener stump because they have such a hard wood around. Them I only sharpen with a knife 🙈 others I sharpen with a sharpener
I've noticed that as well actually!
I just stick to the craft knife most of the time anyway, it gets sharp enough for what I need 🤷♀️😊
Great video
Thankyou :)
Great tips! I am very new to pastels and I want to do portrait of my 2 year old granddaughter on Clairefontaine pastelmat. What color would you recommend for a mid tone value for a young Caucasian girl? I was leaning towards white but now I am questioning that.
Thankyou 😊
Are you adding a background to your piece?
It doesn't matter too much which paper colour you choose if you are adding a background, but maybe more neutral colours like grey/brown
But if you're letting the paper show in the background, then I'd suggest printing your reference photo and seeing which colour looks best with the colours in your photo 😊
Kirsty Rebecca Fine Art Thank you, yes I am doing a Bokeh background.
@@iloveoregon99
Okay cool, then you should be fine with any colour you choose, but I would probably recommend a neutral mid tone colour like grey or brown
It makes it easier to judge your values, and if any paper colour shows through, it won't be too obvious 😊
There's a good video on skin tone in pastels by Alain Picard at th-cam.com/video/bM4CUaqyfm0/w-d-xo.html He seems to use a sandy grey background.
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Thank you so much!
I like information how to get on your patreon please, many thanks.
I'm actually moving away from Patreon because it's very user-unfriendly and the customer service is terrible - and I have created my own membership site called KR Fine Art Academy which is much better 😊
