Incredible detail - I have learned a lot from this. Thank you.

Muito maravilhoso trabalho a pastel querida amiga Rita, sua excelente qualidade técnica faz brilhar meus olhos. Aqui no Brasil é muito difícil encontrar bons pastelistas, se nos seus vídeos tivesse legendas em português você teria muitos brasileiros aprendendo contigo. Tenha um ótimo final de semana, Deus te abençoe grandemente.🤗❤️🖼️🎨👩‍🎨👏👏👏

Beautiful work. I've learned a lot watching this video, thank you!

[@PastelArtwithRitaGinsberg]

Thank you for watching my demonstration and finding it helpful. You made my day!

I like your version better than the picture! The layers and the texture on the back of the wings are clearer and body so soft! Superb, and so is the green background in your thumbnail! Eye massage!!! 🥰Cheryl

Thank you for watching and I'm happy you like the texture I was trying to achieve. You're always so supportive and I appreciate it. 😀

[@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta]

@@PastelArtwithRitaGinsberg I think you're getting even smoother at your background textures and fine details! This one really resonates! And yes, we both speak the same language of bird art! 🥰 🥰

Fabulous tutorial Rita was very informative great information about Alcohol could use it for other paintings also thankyou Joy

[@PastelArtwithRitaGinsberg]

Thank you Joy! Good to hear from you! Enjoy painting!

Hi Rita. Hope you are happy and well. Another gorgeous bird painting, with great information. I must give the alcohol a try, although it is difficult to get in Australia. Our pharmacies don’t sell it. I did manage to get some from a Beauty Salon to use with alcohol inks, but it’s 100%. I guess this wouldn’t matter? (-: Marion

[@PastelArtwithRitaGinsberg]

Hi Marion! Thanks for visiting! I often use 91% alcohol. The stronger it is the faster it dries. That's all. But you can use water too, with a longer drying time. Take care!

[@realartacademy]

Wow awesome
