12 Minutes

The amazing Pastel in 12 minutes. The pastel medium is so easy to manipulate, its crazy. Expressive pure rolled pigments. Makes a huge difference the quality of the pastel... DONT USE REALLY CHEAP ONES.. you will be put off..

This is beautiful. I love that the canvas shows through and the realism is so crisp. Thank for inspiring me.

Les! You are a super star!!! Ive been trying and trying to paint in this atmospheric manner and I could not find anyone who did it! Im in love with your work and style! thank you so much for sharing. You are my new mentor!

Mr. Darlow, I enjoy your demonstrations very much! They are very helpful to me, but even more, it is such a pleasure to watch your beautiful landscapes take form! Thank you!

[@carolratcliff]

I love that you left parts of this to look like a drawing!! It is fantastic!

[@janiebobs]

I am very inspired by your work and busily watching all your youtube clips. I love to paint generally since getting started a few years ago; but pastels are relatively new to me. I have a good selection of Unison soft pastels and Faber Castell now and have just ordered a range of Canson papers with extra indigo!!...So after all these beautiful demos i feel ready to try some beautiful skies!!...Thank you very much!

Love your work I wish to have you for teacher

[@prayalways-]

thank you for sharing this very inspiring video. Although Mi-Teinte is absolutely not my favorite to work on as I do no like the honeycomb pattern and that is is more difficult for me to put on layers. In my work I do not like when the paper shows through but I have to admit that it looks really stunning in your artwork. I should give this paper another try. Thank you for sharing.

Mr. Darlow: you da man!!

[@dianeruck3776]

So interesting to watch you paint this beauty! The only thing that would make it perfect is if you showed your palette when you are finished.

[@attilatemesi7813]

Could you tell me what kind of paper do you use?

[@patriciawightman4561]

Les-your art is just incredible!!.. but this painting is on the Mi-Tientes Touch paper not their regular pastel paper, am I possibly correct??

[@antoniacastanonmerino5430]

❤️🙌🏼

[@scottishwifie14]

Sorry should have waited till end of video before asking questions you answered them at the end, !!! Thanks

[@scottishwifie14]

What make of pastels and what paper do you use, have you ever tried oil pastels?, I use Sennelier oil pastels on paper that is primed with Colourfixprimer great painting thanks for sharing

[@lesdarlow]

Hi, I use mainly Unison Pastels, great consitancy, not toooooooo soft, Unison, and Canson Mi Teintes papers, Incredible combination.... Like sennelier,,, just crumble too easily,,

[@gillbawden]
