Lyn, I just love watching any video you're in, you are just so full of life, and super generous with your sharing, Thanks Graeme for you and your team bringing her again to us.
And, I feel like folks have a right to say what they feel, others have a right to respond, as long as it stays respectful. For my two cents, here's a generous free (to us) sharing of an artist's technique and process, in an overview format. We have the option of going to a workshop for more! Of course it's also to highlight Lyn and her work. To the team: it may help not to have 'tutorial' i the title, or have 'short/ overview tutorial' for clarity.
Thank you!
Enjoyed video and Lyn's work. It would have been even better if the camera had been left up close so we could see the application of pastel and her blending, etc. Thanks
Linda K thanks for your comment Linda. It’s a learning process for us in the filming realm and no doubt we will improve.
way to go Lyn - enjoyed this
Many thanks for your most excellent pastel portrait demo. Great values!
This was incredible, loved the commentary and the finished portrait
Katywu Ste thankyou Katywu.
Lyn, I have to say that you are one of the best if not THE best pastellist I have come across! It is such a pleasure and so informative to watch you work. Your portraits are just wonderful and besides capturing a likeness you manage to give a feeling of the person. Am looking at the portraits hanging behind you as well as the one you are working on. They all are people I would like to meet. Or maybe your upbeat and enthusiastic personality brings that out. Good either way.
Have watched a couple of your landscape paintings, in which birds bring an area alive and give it mystique. Gulls, ravens and magpies are especially good at that. Speaking of Magpies, back in the late 1960's my 2 1/2 year old daughter ran in the house and said, "Mommy, there's a dead bagpipe in the road," Now THAT's a picture. It's tempting.
Incredible likeness!! Brava Lyn
Robina Anstey thanks Robina. I learnt my particular method of portrait drawing in the US when I spent a couple of weeks with Daniel Greene. What a privilege that was. It’s a method that is very understandable and achievable and is a guarantee for gaining a likeness everytime. With practise of course :).
thought the guy at the back was real for a second!!
hahahaa sameee
Just amazing and beautiful art love your work
I loved your work Lynn. As always very informative and inspiring. I just wished it was in real time !
Maysoon AlDooriaines If you use an iPad you can adjust the speed by clicking on the 3 dots in the top right corner of the video, a box drops down and if you select ‘playback speed” you can slow it down to your liking. I should imagine there would also be a way of doing the same thing on other computer devices as well. 😃
Just beginning to watch but I cannot believe she's wearing such a pretty scarf with all that pastel, etc., around her. It'd be ALL OVER me, lol. She is awesome. Who are the 2 dorks who thumbed it down?!?
theres always 5 or 6 dorks. At least they are consistant
@@ColourinyourlifeAu great attitude!
i didn't dislike,but people is free to like or dislike, maybe for them isn't good enough. I'm just learning,but i can see the mouth and one eye don't match reference photo,maybe it's intended to be like that
Love your lesson!!!!
Thank you! 😃
Muito bom vídeo, excelente arte artista!!!🖼️👩🎨👏👏👏👏
Excellent job. Great talent.
Hannelore Rack thankyou Hannelore.
Thank you for this project. Watching in Canada.
Thanks for watching!
very nice
This was quite helpful. Loved it
Glad it was helpful!
Wowwww excelente trabajo maestra 🎉un saludo desde Honduras ❤❤❤
Dang , Id have liked to listen the whole speech haha. Awesome job master
Fantastic! Bravo! Merci! 💯💯💯👌🤗🌞🍀🤩🤩🤩💐💙💛
Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
It would have helped greatly to let us know the colors being used.
Amazing. Do you have any tips on how to accurately draw head shapes?
I could watch you all day! I would be interested in seeing a portrait with an undercoating and one without. To see the difference.
Do you freehand your subject before you paint?
Lori Kendrick thanks Lori. I always draw my portrait using sight only and employing the components of drawing - height/width relationships, changes of direction and distances relative to each other. I always find that the bright underpainting is like putting the blood flow beneath the flesh. Brights and darks are always controllable and so my inclination is to push them initially. However you can certainly do an effective portrait with out the bright underpainting.
@@lyndiefenbach7854 Thank you for sharing how you do this. Pastels scare me! 😁 But I am going to try.
Which brand of pastels do you like best Lyn?
Lyn, excellent work, so fresh! One question, do you use a fixative after you finish?
I think she does james but best beat would be to ask her, Graeme
Hi James, and thanks for your question. No, I don't use fixatives. It darkens the colours and reduces the vibrancy.
I wish I could double like this XD
Lovely work! Can i ask if she used Dry Pastels or Oil Pastels? I'm thinking about getting into it.
Dry Pastels Kyle.
@@lyndiefenbach7854 Thanks!
Great portrait! The background could use finishing. I noticed you don’t blend your pastels much. I use to do tons of horse, dog and people portraits on velour paper.
I'm curious as to why Lyn doesn't put her website on her youtube channel page. You can click on her name and see what videos she has posted on youtube, but she didn't put any contact info and didn't put her website. Curiouser and curiouser.
Jim Bronaugh thanks Jim. My husband has attended to it.
What surface is this?
I think Lyn uses Velour, Graeme
@@ColourinyourlifeAu thank you!
What paper is that?
best bet would be to talk to Lyn directly
Very Nice, but Camera is not close to the drawing
chandra sekkhar thanks Chandra. This is a learning process for us and no doubt we will improve.
That's very correct one, no doubt.
Knowing your limited time , you dedicate it on line, yet, for many amateurs , beginners, it seems to be to fast presentation. Your comments pay a bit too much of attention while concentrating of your performing moves of the hand...
For a deeper study it does require watching your presentation even more then twice...
And another point, painting from a photo, it's very convenient as the model is still. But taking into account fact, most common photographs depict images of faces at a blink of their expression. The viewer knows it is X and Y person. Even without thinking...about so many unnatural disfigurations recorded by merciless camera.
Thus, portraits from cameras reign of their own rules. And there is a very specific, difficult skill to make a good one this way.
In the fine art painting, we can depict person's face expression, of course, but it is very risky to follow exactly the photo image on a canvas or pastel paper. Such a portraiting does require some relevant selection of what is important and shows this person natural character, anatomy, from these that are unnatural. Make them very photographical, but ugly.
And last point, very practical, majority of painters , amateurs are painting rather smaller formats of the pictures. And for that, "wide" and "easy move" became entry to a disaster.
Using dry pastel is very difficult to carry on like with a pastel-pencil. For such painting one has already be a very skilled artist.
Greeting to you!
Dr Jakub S. Malinowski Knowler FAF
wow, thank you so much Dr . Its wonderful when someone that has great knowledge takes the time to make such great comments. It really is appreciated , Graeme
The camera is too far away from the board. Can't see aplication. You are beautiful but I would like to
just see the art work.
what's with the speed. sorry this one is more like self advertisement. got nothing from this besides her workshop. highly disappointed. others show more techniques. this speed through everything.
You do a lot of work without explaining what you're doing or why.
Where did the drawing of the face come from?
How was it created?
Tutorial is an ambitious word to describe this video.
Your very good. But you vid is speeded up to the point no one can tell what your doing. I mean if your goal is to teach something, then slow down some.
Better if we just saw her drawing and the photo, and not the other 80% around it,, that had nothing to do with the drawing & the photo.
Christopher Hitchens, well missed by many, me included
I would love to see what you are doing but you are going so fast I cannot see a thing
Buona tecnica e abbastanza somigliante ma preferisco lo stile alla tecnica e soprattutto manca l'anima,non c'è vita dietro quella superficie.
beautiful work, too fast to be helpful
Do the same portrait with only three pastel colors if you want to promote pastel art. Most people wont pay the high prices for the typical "every-color-of-the-rainbow" kit. Less is always more in my opinion.
Steven Nagy thanks for your comment Steven. Certainly the same portrait could be done in three values only or even with just using 2 plus the paper colour. As I did state at the end of the video - it is getting the values correct regardless of colour that is the most important. However, I do enjoy colour and am a colourist at heart and I am simply showing one process in a myriad of approaches to pastels.
The problem is the most important parts you played the video at 300 miles an hour and we don't even know what you're doing
nauseating to watch at this hyper-speed and really can't see what she's doing. otherwise, great.
