Hi 33, can you give a little more detail to your question? I'm not sure what you mean by the plate.

@ my bad I just wanted to know how do you Lino print

you carve a design into lino, you can buy lino and soft cut polymer sheets on amazon relatively cheap along with lino cutting tools. Once carved with a design, you use printing ink and a roller to ink the lino, then place a sheet of paper on top and press it down, or rub with the back of a spoon to transfer you design in ink to the paper! hope that helps!

@ what about money 💴 designs

To wash a colour out is a way to reduce the amount of pastel in the tooth of the paper by applying water with a paint brush to the pastel that is down and spreading it out in a thinner layer, like you would by doing a wash when using watercolour. Hope that helps!

Hi Cg, it looks like it. 72 pack for both comes in at around £0.42 a pastel for Mont Marte and £0.35 a pastel for OHUHU with the pastels being the same size and around the same weight each.

Hi cg, I am only foraging for materials which are common, won't hurt the ecosystem they come from, foraging sustainably, and are safe to handle at all stages. As for lightfastness, quite a lot of pigments in the commercial pastels are natural processed plants and minerals and have a known lightfastness rating once processed. It is always recommended regardless by framers to use UV protection glass when framing as if you look into it, all pastels on the market have different lightfastness and common colours from both sennelier and unison go as low as 3 stars out of 5. Mining of minerals and processing of chemicals to make synthetic pigments is dangerous, often using mines in Africa to get the resources. I'm hoping that a better, cleaner and more sustainable method of creating pastels is the way forward,you only have to look at hand crafters like earthberry to see a better way forward.

Thank you, there is a link in the description to an audio only version of this video without music!

Hi Jenni, thank you for the lovely comment. I know the cottage was in the photo but it just jarred so much with the landscape in the painting I was like, nope, must get rid! Wait till you see the next one!

Thank you so much 😀

classic Scotland, 3 seconds of snow when it says its going to snow, then 1 ft of snow when it's not supposed to!

Thanks for the tip!

Die Kälte kann dazu führen, dass die Pastellkreiden austrocknen und bröckeliger werden. Außerdem genieße ich es, beim Arbeiten meine Finger spüren zu können! :)

@@gingerramsden-artist Ginger, please excuse me for writing in German yesterday. It was already late and I was tired 🥱 I was happy to see the new video in which you talked again. That was not the case with this video ua-cam.com/video/veUZvCNrzT8/v-deo.htmlsi=3MmLxJ_DB7ciO3gp. Since you had a cold at the end of last year, I thought you had to rest your voice. I like your videos with your voice much better :)

Thanks Renee, 've seen his work and it is beautiful!

Thank you so much 😀

Hi Lisa, my pastels live in big trays in colour and tone order so I have a photo up next to the painting in the video showing the final colours I used, they will be a mix of sennelier, unison and Rembrandt, hope that helps!

@gingerramsden-artist wonderful thanks so much. I have a set of pastels however, they don't include any of the colors your using. Oh, maybe two colors are in it. Again I appreciate your response. Have a beautiful day/evening 😊

hope the weather is good there!

I know! I can't help myself!

My pleasure 😊

Thank you!

Thank you, I think it was actually the camera that was bouncing as I had it mounted to the easel, I've mostly sorted it for the rest of my videos!

I believe Marla and Susan both do this? I don't as I'd have to have a second camera and have it quite high up plus have loads of space next to the easel to hold the trays. I think sometimes people underestimate how big the trays are and mine are smaller then Marla's! If i have to have a camera so far up you wouldn't be able to actually see what I'm picking which is why i take a photo of the pastels I've used for people who want to follow along. Like every artist, I need a bigger studio! :)

Hi Malinda, I have a portable air extraction system which sucks in air through two HEPA filters. I have severe Asthma so have taken plenty of steps to ensure I'm not going to inhale coloured dust! I often work flat as well as on the easel so you can't always tap off dust. Hope that helps!

Thank you, UA-cam don't let you change the audio once uploaded other than to remove the audio and replace with some of their music. Try playing the video on a different device, it seems to come out differently from TV, phone to computer for some reason! Hope that helps!

inspired from an old photo from the area which had slightly yellowed with age so gave this beautiful warm tones!

@@gingerramsden-artist yes, really a wonderful idea. Everyone can do blue and purple 😉😉 in winter landscape

lol, wonder why no one uses greens............. :P

@@gingerramsden-artist 🤣

@brendarudman8806 was a bit of a battle but got there in the end!

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi Michael, It's a mixture of Unison, Sennelier, Rembrandt and Nu Pastel

Thank you

Hi Brenda! I use a mix of different brands of pastels, unison, sennelier and blue earth for my softest pastels, Rembrandt as my medium hard pastels, and Nu and Conte for my hardest pastels for fine mark making and details. I also use water or rubbing alcohol for under paintings and sometimes acrylic ink if i want something vibrant. With regards to keeping my work from smudging or getting over everything, i will sometimes use a light coating of fixative but that can darken your painting, I always prefer to get finished 'selling' paintings behind glass as a priority and any paintings going into storage draws just get a layer of glassine between. Hope that helps! G

Scotlands weather and ruggedness can make it difficult to paint it :) but it's the wild side that attracts me in the first place!

Hi Mary, some people like the music, however as per my other comments and in the description, i have created an audio only version which is linked in the description for this video.

Happy new year!

Thank you so much Claudia for your kind words!, I'm looking forward to everyone joining me on my journey, the good, the bad and the furry!

That's exactly what I find so valuable

Thank you both, I know it's been commented on by several people over the year and I'm glad everyone finds it useful!

Thank you ! 😀

Have fun and if you need any help, just ask!

@ Awwww, thanks muchly👍🏼

@dariabuczynski9711 Hi Daria, some people don't mind it, however as per my pinned comment there is a link to the voice only very in this videos description

Thank you! Will do!

Thank you!

Thank you! Will do!

We call the less fancy cow parsley here, no idea why as its such a pretty plant and grows along all the roadways

I've uploaded a new version of this with better audio. The link is in the description. I hope that helps!

Have fun!

getting there slowly! Happy Holidays!

My pleasure 😊 Let me know if you have any other questions about them!

smudging is a general problem with a medium you can't fully fix. You can try fixative/ I use masking tape on all my edges so it matters less if you have accidents, plus once a piece is behind a mount you can hide a lot of sins! Honestly, I only do this twice a year as i would drive me mad trying to keep them always in order in the trays!

Thank you! You too!

Thank you!

Hi cg, no not this year. I'm still pretty ill so haven't been able to paint much so wouldn't want to offer anything i wasn't happy with for a give away. Hopefully will do something in the spring which is part of a special project in the new year though!

I would have taken them all if I had the budget!
