Thanks for watching the video... if you would like to see more... here is a link to all the hair videos I've created.... th-cam.com/play/PLTgchDV4hjFQoTNUw8xDtOzW8cGNTKYOS.html
Dave... you mentioned about being careful not to put too many layers of color on top of each other due to diminishing "tooth" of the paper. I remember back when I was much younger (about 25 years now) I was endeavouring to paint with soft pastels, and I can remember the more colors I tryed to use over each other, the muddier and slippery it got. * Well I got this bright idea to SPRAY MIST my painting ever so lightly with a spray bottle of clean water... WALLA... IT WORKED!! I was then able to paint right OVER that area AGAIN with ANOTHER color!! * It didn't matter if it was THEN wet or dry... I could just keep painting WITH OUT getting agravated and discouraged. HAPPY PAINTING!! 😊😁😇
This is a great. I have 4 grandchildren with beautiful red hair and this tutorial will help me so much. I am on your Patreon site and love how you explain everything with such detail. Thank you.
Thanks JK... Ginger hair is very interesting and challenging to achieve realism... glad you find this video useful. Thank you for your support by being a Patron... appreciated 😊 so thrilled you are enjoying being there. 🙏 You are welcome.
I have enjoyed watching all of your videos. They are helping me an awful lot. I have a question about your pastel pencil portraits. Have you used Claire Fontaine Pastelmat sanded paper? Once you’re finished do you use any fixative as a final protective layer? If you do would you mind giving a suggestion on what you use. And if you don’t fix your artwork, could you explain why? Thank you so much for putting so much work and energy into your videos. I appreciate it. Thank you and cheers. 👍😀✏️✏️✏️
Hi Ray... thanks for watching my video... Pastelmat is my preferred surface to use. I don't fix my work for two reasons. 1st... Pastelmat grabs the pigment so less chance of smudging. 2nd... fixing your work can dull the subties too much. I protect my work before framing by wrapping it with Glassine paper. All the best Dave
Thank you kindly for your response. That’s the same method I use so now I feel better. Using a final fixative always seems to dull and muddy the pastel. I prefer using glassine to protect the artwork until it is framed. I use two mats, the one next to the artwork has a larger opening and acts as a spacer keeping the outer mat with a smaller opening away from the art creating a channel that can allow pastel dust to drop down behind the front mat keeping the front mat relatively clean. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers and thank you.
... as I was just telling Dave about my younger experiences with soft pastels and how they tend to MUDDY and become too slippery. Just use a spray bottle of clean water AS A FIXITIVE. It THEN does not matter if it's still wet OR dry, you are then able to work OVER that area as you please. 😁
Hi there... there wasn't any name credited to the photographer on this reference image... type in pixabay search ginger hair and you should see a girl with her hand going through hair... I cropped a small section of it 🙏🙏
I know what you mean... there is a lot of artists using projectors these days, they are not for me... somehow it doesn't feel right and you can't really say you have created it only coloured it in. 🙏
Thanks David sorting well I figured out this tablet now instead of 1 minute it gives me 30 minutes before the screen goes blank and yes I am my own teacher because in my heart I believe I am going to be a professional portrait artist

Thank you Betty for the tip. I think I will test out spraying with water. It’s an interesting idea. Cheers.

How can you free your mind and open up your heart when you got to deal with a smartphone or a retarded tablet with a screen goes blank every 2 minutes
That is a difficult situation... one that needs sorting which will then will lead to freeing your mind.🙏
😢
I don't want to talk 9:29
wishing you all the best jerry. 🙏
Where my art magazines from the 80s these stupid devices online crap can freaking take away your art inspiration in a minutes
I know what you mean... there is a lot of artists using projectors these days, they are not for me... somehow it doesn't feel right and you can't really say you have created it only coloured it in. 🙏

Great news Jerry... all the very best with your art journey. 🙏@@jerrybauder6010
