Amzng tutorial

Very interesting to see how that evolved. Now I understand that it is "permitted" to interpretate the reference photo and not be 100 % loyal to it. You chosed to leave out those light lemon yellow values in the downmost right area and replace them with some more grass lawn kind of greens. In that way the final piece actually looks more natural and "trustworthy" than the reference, strangely enough. Thanks, Matt. I learned a lot. 🌞

[@nightcat2868]

[@karenmason1731]

[@reneekroyer5104]

This was so helpful. Just wondering -- are you using oil pastels?

[@thevirtualinstructor]

No, I'm soft pastels or chalk pastels.

[@subhasishchakrabarty7403]

How you fix Dry pastel paintings?

[@josephineherrera8508]

What type of pastels are you using? They look like hard pastels.

[@thomasschreiber2257]

That's what my first pastel pictures looked like

[@andrewsherstiuk228]

The grass and everything was cool, but the tree was spoiled starting from 12:40 on video.

[@mariapop779]

What pastel brand do you recommend?

[@mariapop779]
