I believe you have captured it, "so much art so little time ". Love your work.... Thank you for your time.
Absolutely Frank, thank you for watching.
I am a 12 time published Illustrator and a graphic and web designer. I decided to revert back 40 years and go back to traditional art in traditional media. When I was a kid back in the late 70s early 80's I used to love to watch Bob Ross on TV so I dug up a bunch of old Ross Tutorials and I ruined 30 or so canvases trying to paint with oils like Bob Ross. I am going to try this technique using the Bob Ross tutorials. I imagine that it would be easy. Time will tell. I just purchased a set of 80!
G'day Nick, thank you for watching and your comment. PanPastels are a unique pastel, and the manufacturer wanted to create a pastel that you can paint wet action only dry, and, most of all, they wanted to create low dust. My techniques are NOT low dust and paint in an unconventional way, but I get the results I'm looking for. I have many videos here on how I use PanPastels. A lot of artists use them a portion of the way; however, I use them to the maximum. I'm happy to answer any questions you have when you get your set. Above all, just play with them, and you'll find your way with them. Happy Painting.
This is a magical medium! I began using a brush in this way by scraping soft and hard pastels into a powder then applying with a brush.
So fun. So effective 😊
This is a great video. Really shows a side of pan pastels that many are not familiar with. Really opens up so many possibilities. This was definitely something that was needed within our art niche. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much Wendi, agree not sure if artists know that these can be used for more than just backgrounds.
Wonderful tutorial...I love your work!
Absolutely love this method! Great job...
Marcelle thank you so much for watching, this technique is best used on Pastelmat. Happy painting 😘
Thank you Chrissy! And thanks for the advice last night on the group!
Cathy thank you so much for watching and happy to answer any questions you have.😍👍
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before! It looks like a perfect technique for subtle skin tones in portraits. Thank you! Also, love Pastelmat. The best!
G'day SoFlo, it's a technique that I have developed over the years. I just love to paint like this, as it gives me the details I crave. I have plenty of portraits here on my channel, and this technique works for everything. I'm glad this was helpful. Happy Painting 😘
Thank you. I really like the effects this creates. I'm going to have to give it a try!
G'day Crystal terrific, let me know if you have any questions and would like to know what your impressions are of this technique 👍
Oh wow, so glad I found your channel, this is outstanding.
Terrific Lisa, welcome and hopefully you'll find some of my artwork value adding. If you come across something you don't understand, please free to send me a note. 👍😍😍
Beautiful artwork! Thank you for sharing this technique really appreciate it!
G'day Jazmin, thank you for taking the time to view this video and hope these tips and tricks were helpful. Happy Painting 👍🎨
Looks so real! Very helpful Chrissy, thank you so much! Oooooo loose paste! Genius!
G'day Dorothy, so glad to read this video has been helpful. Thanks for watching 👍😍
Wow, what a fantastic video! I love how you explain each step and the tools you use. I might just dig out my Pans again and give them another try. Thank you!
Sally thank you so much for watching and your comment. Glad that you're giving these another try. Remember it's all about the surface, makes all the difference. Happy painting 😍👍
That’s very cool,Chrissy! Now I’m excited to grab out my PanPastels again and have a play! Thanks for a great video! 😃
Thank you for your lovely comment Lindy, that's so cool, that's it!!! get those PanPastels out and play, play and play, you may come up with a technique that may work for you!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this art .Thank you ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for watching Lakshmi, hope it was helpful.❤
Awesome drawing! I absolutely love pan pastels.
Hi Soul, thank you for watching. I love PanPastels too. I hope this video was helpful. :)
Thank you, the right info at the right time. BEAUTIFUL.
G'day Rebecca, thank you so much for watching, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the techniques I use.
Beautiful artwork, and an interesting way of using panpastel especially for flowers, it certainly is on my to try list. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Joy, thank you so much for watching, I've developed this technique over time on Pastelmat. This is how I paint mostly with the Pans, a bit slower than using the Sofft Tools, but satisfying!! thanks again!!
What a great idea! I will definitely try it. Thanks!
Thank you so much watching Gloria, this brush technique has totally changed the way I paint with PanPastels ❤👍
This is sooooo pretty Chrissy!!!! I love your flowers the most right now! :D
Thanks for watching Elise, yeah this one came out alright, just experimenting to see how far I can go without using pastel pencil for details. Have another video coming up with different paper.
Thank you so much. What an amazing video with no adverts, even better ❤
Thank you for watching Shirley, hope it was helpful 😊
Wow! Incredible! Simply genius! I love tulips... What a perfect depiction of one!
Again thank you so much watching, this was an exercise to see if I could use 100% PanPastel without any other medium for details.
I ❤ this brush technique! I forget what solvent you use. The brushes look easier to use than the sponge tipped tools.
Hi Susan, thanks for watching. You can use any mineral spirit. Here I use zest it. As for the brushes, they take getting used to. However, this creates more dust than Sofft Tools. I get a lot of control with the brush technique. Happy Painting.
Wow wouldn't have thought pan pastels could be used this way. Thanks for the demo !!!
Margaret thank you for watching:) I work tightly and wanted to get the most out of these lovely PanPastels. I find by using the brush I get a lot of control. But just a note these Pans aren't designed to be used with a brush or the way I use them sometimes, but I achieve the results I want when using them with my brush technique. In this video I was trying to say that these Pans are not just for backgrounds or base layers for other media and that you can use them a whole heap more. I can take the PanPastels through to about 80% of my paintings before I start using other media (I sound like a commercial!!!). Again thank you for watching.
Beauitful. I have Eco brushes but never thought about using them this way!
Hi Pam thank you so much for watching. Painting with bristle makeup brushes and other brushes have taken my artwork to whole new level.
A really interesting video,a really great way to use these pan pastels.The tulip has come alive.
Hello Barbara, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I enjoy using this style of painting as I have a lot of control, particularly when I'm paint in small areas.
Cosmetic brushes.... This is a game changer for me. Thank you for a fascinating video!
Thank you so much J Langley for watching. These brushes have taken my artwork to whole new level.🎨👍
Thank You for sharing this technique. I’ve been apprehensive about using my pan pastels but now I’m going to get really excited and try it with the brushes, thank you!
G'day Leigh thank you so much for watching. I have a tonne of stuff on my brush techniques here on my channel. Feel free to ask me as many questions as you can.
Oh just wow! What an eye opener, I am going to try this out for myself. Thank you for your excellent video.
You are most welcome Sarah, so glad this was helpful. Unconventional process, but it works. Thank you for watching.
1st time to see a tutorial using brush and pastel on pastelmat wow thanks for this idea!
You're most welcome and thank you for watching 👀 😊
Beautiful! Thank you for this demo!
Thanks for watching Da, nice to read your comment, hope you're keeping well.
You're welcome! Loved this demo, I might give it a try sometime! Right now sketching mostly with watercolors as I'm not home, it's easier while traveling 😊
I am so glad you shared this Chrissy, thank you so much! I have used brushes but did not have as much success. I will persevere with other brushes. Your tulip is gorgeous👏
Carla thank you so much for watching and your comment. My brush technique works well on Pastelmat, so the surface makes all the difference. I say keep on keeping on until you find your groove. I also use synthetic paint brushes, keep on trying different brushes until you find the one that suits you best.
Bellísimos una efecto distinto y no agresivo los compraré mil graciasss 🙋💯💯💯👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
All i can say is wow you make it look so easy nice job
Hi Suzanne, thank you for watching and your kind comment.
Hi Chrissy,love to watch you paint. There are also synthetic brushes in the craft section at Bunnings, very inexpensive and great to work with. Never thought I would say this as all my brushes are quite expensive ones.
Hey Millie, thank you for watching. Brushes in Bunnings! well that's good to know, I'll be there soon checking it all out!!!!! I know what you say about the brushes, I have expensive brushes too and I never thought about using what I'm using, go figure!!!! I maintain that it's the surface, if forgives me at every turn. As always thanks again for interest and kind words.
This is exquisite ! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful pastel painting , I am really stoked that you are also a fellow Australian . Kind regards - Judi - Victoria
G'Day Judith, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Really enjoyed painting this cute little Tulip and hope that it was valued adding. So from one fellow Aussie to another, I invite you to view future videos:)
Loved watching you work. I just bought my first pan pastels. I haven't used them yet, but loved what you shared with us
Hey there Daneshu, so glad to read you enjoyed this little study. Feel free to contact me if you have questions and thank you for watching, this medium has sooooo many possibilities.🎨👍😍
So beautiful, I am going to give this a try on a coloring page
By all means and would love to see it too. Thank you so much for watching 🎨👍😍
Very helpful and inspiring! Now I know how to do it. Thank you!
G'day Don, so glad this was helpful. Thank you so much for watching 👍
I had the idea of playing around with applying pastels with a brush just a couple of days ago and today happened upon your video. Thanks very much for sharing, you've saved me several steps in experimentation. Lovely picture, too!
Greg, thank you so much for watching and your comment. I use brushes a lot and this is typically how paint with Panpastels as well as using Sofft Tools. I work quite tightly and the make-up and Synthetic paint brushes give the control and detail I need. If you get stuck using this technique, please don't hesitate to contact me. Happy Painting 👍😉
Very nice to see that you also canonise brushes 🥰
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Yes these brushes and the techniques I've developed have taken my artwork to whole new level.
Fantastic idea,thank you for sharing.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing. I must try this
G'day MC Torres, thank you so much for watching and this technique has taken my work to a whole new level.
I LOVE this! I’ve been mucking around with water colours trying to paint a rose yesterday. So funny because I have a heap of makeup brushes on my table I’m about to throw out. I have the anthracite pastelmat..
I’m painting a rose today in pan pastels! 😊
G'day Robyn, thank you for taking the time to comment. Gotta love those make up bristle brushes. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Happy Painting 👍😍🎨
I love your technique. I am new to pan pastels h your brush technique is the first I've seen that I like.
Hi Karen, Thank you for watching. Yes, I've developed this brush technique over the years. Come to think of it, I use anything that will give me the outcome I'm going for. Thanks again, Chrissy 🙂
very beautiful. stunning. now i know how to use my pan pastels. thsnks
Hey there Marg, thank you so much for watching and your comment. PanPasteks are extremely versatile and highly pigmented (so lightfast issues are not a problem). Feel free to contact me should you have any problems. Happy painting 👍😀😀
Stunning, have just found pan pastels, never used them...but after watching you I will definitely use this method too..thankyou...fellow Aussie Qld
G'Day there Modere, always nice to read comments from a fellow Aussie. I live in NSW. This brush technique has changed the way I paint and taken my work to a whole new level. I would love for you to ask as many questions as you can. I have many tips and tricks here for you to pick up and try. Thank you for watching and take it easy. Bye for now!!!
This came up on my feed because I’ve been searching for pan pastel videos, and I am so excited to try this method. I’m not so crazy about the sponges and I look forward to seeing what results I can come up with using the makeup brushes I already have for other projects. You are so talented, and I have now subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. Thanks for sharing your ideas and talent.
Hi Martha, so glad you stumbled on my channel. This technique works best on Pastelmat, UART and Lux Archival. Just keep testing which brush works for you. This channel is full of free tips and tricks. Thank you for watching and feel free to ask as many questions as you can and hopefully I will be able to answer them.
Very helpful technique, i'm glad i ran into this video thank you!
Hi Emmy, I'm so glad to read this is helpful and glad you stumbled on this channel. I've got heaps of free stuff. Just go into the video tab or my playlists. Feel free to ask me questions about the techniques I use. Happy Painting, Chrissy.
THANK YOU, GREAT INSTRUCTION AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
Hi Ray thank you for watching and hope it was helpful 😊
Learnt something new and loved it.👍
G'day Yogi, so glad to read you enjoyed this. Enjoy sharing my discoveries. Thank you so much for watching 👍🎨
So beautiful, luv’it❤️👍
Hi Paulien, thank you so much for watching. Hope this was helpful.
I also used a brush on technique the first time I practiced with PP. I was happy with the results. Thanks for your lovely video.
Thank you so much for watching. The brush technique let's me use PanPastels longer.
Really great, I as a painter have been using pencil but this looks like it would be a great alternative since I do a lot of birds and animals.
Gail thank you for watching. Actually my first love is oils, so I'm as painter too. Unfortunately I haven't uploaded any oils, will do in the future.
I love your use of makeup brushes! Just ordered mine
Hello Elizabeth, thank you so much for watching. This technique is best used on Pastelmat by Clairefontaine. If you have any questions about the techniques I use please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards Chrissy
Xrissart I used my own prepared sanded paper, using clear gesso and the brush technique worked great! Painted a still life and the brushes worked great with fine details
@@elizabethbalderrama7467 Hi Elizabeth that's fantastic, thank you for sharing. I love hearing/reading about artist's discoveries. Happy Painting 👍👍🎨
Brilliant technique!
Hi Nina thank you so much 👍🎨
Absolutely love!
G'day Heathe thank you so much for watching and hope it was helpful:)
I love this!! I’m an esthetician and make up artist by day and I’ve just picked up pastels again. I’ve contemplated using a set of makeup brushes that I bought and never used, since I’m already using silicone nail art tools to do detail blending. After watching this, I’m inspired to give it a go 😊 thank you for sharing!!
Glitter thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. So glad you're inspired to give Pastels another go. Please feel free to contact me if you get stuck, until then happy painting. 👍😉
BEAUTIFUL!
Hi Regina, thank you for watching
Beautiful work!
Thanks again Karen
Fascinating! I would love to see a video of using the brushes on different types of paper. I do a lot of work with pans on different materials that have a sanded ground painted over it.
Hi Giulia, thank you so much for watching. I do have a handful of videos using different papers.. Just check my channel, I did a simple Mushroom on a few different papers.
Thanks for showing how to use these
Our art group was given some and we were clueless how to use them
Your painting is excellent by the way :)
G'Day there J Tait, so glad you stumbled on this video, I've been using @PanPastels for many years. This medium has a great deal of potential and I've just skimmed the surface. If you get into any difficulty and have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Happy Painting:)
Great video, will definitely try brushes!
Andrea thank you very much for watching. This brushing technique has taken my work to a whole new level.👍😍
STUNNING !!! ❣
Hi Rana, thank you so much for watching 👍🎨🌹
I have just started using pan pastels as a base for my dog portraiture but am having trouble by laying down too much pastel. This has really inspired me to use your technique. Thank you
G'Day Linda, so glad to read this technique has inspired you. My channel is full of content where you see me use brushes. In fact, I use anything I can get my hands on provided it's archival. Thanks for watching.
WOW
Hey there Lilie, this is such a forgiving medium, in this video I was trying to make a point that you can take your PanPastels beyond a blurry or blocking in backgrounds with the techniques I use. Thank you sooo much for watching and always appreciate your time, support here and on my Live Streams. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you can (hopefully I can answer them):)
really, really beautiful! I love that it's not so sped up, you can't see the technique. I bought a bunch of Pan pastels for another project, but didn't like the sponge applicators and the blotchy way they put down color. thank you for a great video!
Katherine, thank you for watching and appreciate you taking the time to comment. It's always good to experiment, sometimes you just don't know what you'll come up with. I'm forever trying new things and surfaces and trying to find a technique which best suits the way I work. I'm loving what these brushes do, however the Sofft Tools have their purpose too. Happy painting!!!!
Hello . First time here glad i found you, i only heard of panpastel until now , now i know what the whole pastels i need about the pans and the brushes , so thank you so much for your class ..btw, Pastelmate are very expansive in my country also.
Hello Gila, so glad you found me too. Hopefully this video was helpful. PanPastels is pastel only you use them different to stick pastels. I enjoy the brush technique with PanPastel because it let's me paint like wet paint only dry. I have plenty of videos using PanPastels. If you look in the playlist section on my channel that says PanPastels Tutorials, you will see many tips and tricks. Yes Pastelmat is expensive, but worth it. Perhaps buy a sheet and cut it up.Thank you for watching. Regards Chrissy
Thank you for sharing your technique. It was fascinating to watch the painting evolve. I'm going to try using brushes. I only have 24 pastel pencils so hope this will expand the ability to detail.
Hi Mary thank you for watching. This technique works best on sanded surfaces for example Pastelmat or UART. So glad this was helpful.
Wow, you are an amazing artist, your flower is utterly stunning! I came across your video while searching for PanPastel tutorials. I have only just bought a couple (in a sale) & when they arrived, I did not like them. Immediately knew I had to learn "how to" so I am not wasting pennies. Lol. I'm into mixed media, in NO way am I an artist like yourself (I wish). However, saw that you use them with brushes so wanted to learn more. Ty for sharing your tips, watching you has really helped and inspired me. I'm now going to check out your channel properly! Hoping you enjoy 2019. C🎨😊🐾
Caroline thank you so much for watching and so glad to read you're inspired to give the Pans another go. Feel free to ask me as many questions as you like, hopefully I'll be able to answer them.
Very soft an beautiful art work congratulations 🙏👌😍
G'Day Jose, apologies for my late reply. Thank you so much for watching, appreciate your time in watching and taking the time to comment.
This came out incredible I’m going to try this hopefully the neuropathy stays away for a whil I was able to color a page in a vintage Easter book it came out so pretty it’s the first grey scale I babe has and I love it definitely going to look for more
G'day Deborah, thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad this has been helpful. I get fantastic results with this technique. Keep on keeping on.😍
Absolutely loved it Chrissy, it opens the pans up to extraordinary dimensions and shows their use is limitless. All I can say is WOW 150 out of 100😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Mate, and thank you for your support, appreciate it so much. I was a bit tired of reading that these Pans are only used for backgrounds and base layers (of which they are excellent for), but I just wanted to show that you can take this medium further than that. Wow 150 out of 100, that's my top score!!!! :)
I agree!
Thankyou so much! Learnt some great tips!
G'Day Jan, thank you so much for watching, you are most welcome. Hope these tips were helpful
Just an FYI, you can also just use isopropyl alcohol for mixing pans into a paint like consistency or even to blend directly on the Pastelmat. It doesn’t spread the way Zest-it and OMS can and it dries much quicker. It also is less irritating to folks that have sensitivities to solvents.
It’s also a really good way to lay down a white under layer on darker paper colors to be able have lighter colors pop.
That's fantastic, thank you for sharing and watching 👀 😀
To frame or display your art do you use a fixative of some sort to protect your work?
Hi Marie, I don't use any fixative. When I'm not framing behind glass, I protect my work with glassine paper pouches which I make. Thanks for watching 👀.
@@Xrissart thank you for your response. I'm now curious. What are glassine paper pouches? I use parchment paper on my work to prevent smudging. Are you making an envelope type of storage to slide your work in?
@marievaillant216 hello again. Yes I make giant size envelopes. I have a video here on my channel where I show you how I do it. It's an older video but still very relevant.
Wow! This is awesome idea! I use Panpastel with soft tools, but I never thought use brushes!, I love of how you can paint very easy with brushes! Thanks for this marvelous idea💡 😃🥰
G'day Claritza, so glad this was helpful, I paint like this all the time. It's definitely a game changer. It means I can use PanPastels more effectively before I go in with pastel pencils.
@@Xrissart yeah! Defenetly! It's more accurate than the soft tools 🥰
Wonderful thanks Chrissy
Thank you so much Millie 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Beautiful!!! Thank you!!!
Birgit thank you so much for watching🎨🎨🎨
I am so very happy to have found you and your channel! I have PanPastels and so far have been frustrated with what I'm getting. I love the idea of using makeup brushes instead of the sofft tools. Your art is pure gorgeousness! Thank you for sharing your time, talent and kind heart with all of us.
G'Day Bella, welcome! thank you for your lovely words. I say get stuck into it and don't give up until you find your way around using them, apart from them being fun to work with, they are high in pigment, little binder and lightfast which is a huge bonus.(I sound like a commercial!!)
Love sharing what I discover and feel free to ask any questions, hopefully I'll be able to answer them. Keep on keeping on and talk soon:)
Xrissart You are just so sweet! Thanks for the encouragement!
Wow.. amazing ..
Hi Yvonne, thank you so much for watching😍😍😍
This is wonderful. I’m just got pan pastels for the first time last week and am experimenting. I love your idea of the inexpensive make up brushes!!
And your painting in the background is all just beautiful.
….. painting and the background…🤪
Thank you Sheila for watching. Yes this is a very innovative way to paint with PanPastels alongside the Sofft Tools. You are welcome to ask me questions anytime. Enjoy the PanPastels 👍😘
Love this video, thank you for sharing this technique. I have a whole set of pans but haven’t used them yet. This has given me the motivation to have a go ☺️ Thank you
Hey there Lesley, OMG you have a whole set!!!!! All I can say is GO FOR IT:) Please contact me if you have any questions relating to the techniques I use;)
Thank you so much, yes the whole set and haven’t used them!! 😵 we’ve had builders at home for months, doing major works, so dust everywhere 😫 didn’t want to start any artwork until they had finished! They have now so can’t wait to start using them 👍 x
@@34littleb Hi Lesley, OK, well don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions❤🥰👍🎨🎨🎨🎨
Hope this catch on.
Loving this video! Such a different technique, wouldn't have thought to use pans that way. My full set arrived today ( I have never used them before) and I'm excited to try them. I have just started using pastel pencils and pastelmat, so expensive but worth it, to do some wildlife art. My Mum wants a floral piece for Christmas so these techniques will be invaluable. It is strange to hear the aussie accent, I keep thinking that sounds just like me! Lol Now I'll have to watch the vid again as I typed my way through it after the first few minutes, thanks so much for making the vid it is extremely helpful.
G'Day there Jeni, so glad you stumbled on me and knowing this video is value adding. This technique has taken my work to a whole new level. There's no right or wrong way to do art, so long as you get the outcome you're looking for. This little painting was a study and was trying to use PanPastel exclusively. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, happy to help if I can. As for our accent, funny!!! which part of Australia are you from?
@@Xrissart I grew up in Chatswood, Sydney but now live north of Newcastle in a tiny place called Coolongolook 😊
@@jenilocke8255 you're kidding, I grew up in Sydney too. And live in Lake Macquarie now. I know Coolongolook, driven past it many times on our way up to Port Macquarie. There's a nice food place on highway. Small world!!
Thank you that was soooo helpful!!!!
Terrific Deirdre, thank you so much for watching👍😍
ty for sharing very nice idea to paint panpastels with brushes
Hey there Lyne, thank you so much for watching and appreciate your comment 👍😍 love sharing😍👍
yvw
Fabulous 💕
G'day Sands, thank you so much for watching 👍🎨
Thank you so much for this video !!!!
Hi Teresa, thank you so much for watching. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
What a great idea!! Ive thought those dumb sponge tools look just stupid and you cant get fine detail. I like this!!
G'day BI Schafer, thank you for your comment. Yes, this is an interesting technique, and find I get terrific details. The sponges are great as well as they are made specifically for the use of Pans and made for low dust. The bristle brushes do make the pastel dusty. Having said that, I use bristle brushes aaaaaalllll the time and get the outcome I'm looking for. Thank you for watching. Happy Painting.
Brilliant, thank you!
Hi Hovawart, thank you so much for watching, hopefully it was helpful 👍
love love love it! so simple and so beautiful! I have heard that you can use gesso on paper and get the same results as pastelmat (or close) but I haven't tried it yet, and I also use very thin brushes made for nail art, they are great for the tiniest details, thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for watching Avigail, wow never heard of Gesso for this technique, I must try that too:), Ah yes nail brushes another great idea, always appreciate your interest and support. Happy painting and talk soon:)
I’ve bought some gesso to try that.
Yes, it would need to be the clear gesso, not the white. And you can use it on watercolor paper, strong drawing paper, etc., to make a pastel paper. It works very well.
@@LynnePriceStudio thank you!
❤❤❤ love love love!!
Thank you so much, hope it was value adding and thanks for watching 👍🤩
I’m going to try this, I have quite a few old make up brushes and didn’t know what to do with them.
Birdsong, thank you so much for watching and hope this was useful for you. I would like to read/hear what your impressions are of using makeup brushes, like all new techniques they do take getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you'll wonder why didn't I do this in the earlier.
There seems to b no end to what and how to use these pan pastels. Amazing work. I love pans.
Precisely Marg, I've been saying that all along. It's incredible what work can be done these PanPastels. Thank you so much for watching.👍😍🎨
What you are doing is amazing and beautiful. I imagine you perhaps spray your work once done?
G'day Mickey, thank you so much for watching and your kind words. No I don't use any spray fixative at all. If I'm not framing my pieces behind glass I usually store them in my home-made glassine pouches.
Wonderful
Thank you for watching
Good job!
Thank you do much for watching John
Oh I’m so thrilled to have found this vid. As a watercolorist who is just getting into pans and pastel pencils I like the idea of brushes though the sponges and Sofft tools work well too. I’m unclear though why you use the pans wet with Zest-It if you then apply other dry layers afterward...
Hi CC you are most welcome to ask as many questions as you like and so glad you found this video. It's a simple Tulip but gives a good idea on how far you can take the Pans. I used the Zest-It mixture to replace pastel pencils for details. Thank you for watching 😄
Xrissart YHi Xris. Yes that makes sense to me that you created the paste which allows more control and precision esp with using a small brush but it seemed like (perhaps I’m mistaken...it’s been known to happen😂) that you then went back over the paste applied details with dry pastel. Thanks!
I only have a set of 10 Pan Pastels. But I really love them. Nothing gives me such vibrant color with almost no mess, & my pans barely look used. I love that they last so long & go so far. I would love to have them all. But my bank acct. is drowning at the moment. So no new supplies for me until I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. LOL I have not been able to try them on any true Pastel paper yet. I will. Your painting is beautiful TYFS
G'day Kim, thank you so much for watching and message. PanPastels are terrific to work with. Don't forget that you can mix colours to make new colours. Colour mixing with PanPastels are a very big feature. Happy to answer questions if you get stuck. Happy Painting🎨 regards Chrissy 😍
you can buy these wonderful brushes at primark for £1 in the uk folks
Brilliant
Thank you so much Glori😍
