Brilliant- thank you Emma. It is so helpful to see pastels in this basic exercise and to see once again how much dark and bright colour you use to depict a white object. As well as warm and cool. Excellent exercise. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such an interesting and helpful video! You remind us that tone tone tone is the most important and you help us fledging pastelist to be more brave. I know if I had tried this without your tutorial I would have tried to find the exact pastel stick for every hue rather than going in bravely w dark colours( tones) and then adusting them back and forth like you do. You sort of search your way forward in a way that is such an eyeopener. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill with us!All the best for 2024!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Yes I definitely search out my colours and treat it as more of a process to push and pull the values. There's no right or wrong with art, just the way you like to do it.
Light and shade is so immensely important, but there I have my biggest problems. I understand it but have trouble accentuating it myself. I love the whole study if it, I am amazed by it. I guess I should do such exercises for myself. Even with 2 colors, or graphite. There is so much to learn to even draw a good painting etc. By the way, an excellent tutorial! Lynda🧚🏼♀️💕
Thank you, I enjoy all of your videos, you have helped me so often 😊 when I struggle I turn to your videos and search for an answer 😊 and this video did it again❤ So Thank you again and Best Wishes to you and your family 😊, your fur babies are Beautiful❤
Brilliant, as always! ❤ I will absolutely do some of these basic shapes - especially now when its been some time since any painting. 😊 Great way to warm up and re-activate old or dusty skills too! 👍✨️ Thank you so much for this, Emma! ⚘️
Hullo Emma, Wonderful video! Thanks!! I have struggled with starting dark! I started my Art Journey with watercolors and starting with the lightest color or tone was drummed into me! Preserving the white of the paper was also a big deal! Using the opaque qualities of pastels is still new to me and one of the things I really like about this new to me medium. I have noticed that you use a purple or violet color for your darks, is this because you have a yellow light source? I have used Paynes grey for years or a mixture of Ultramarine Blue and Raw or Burnt Sienna for greys and darkening my shadows. Thank you for continuing to show all of your viewers so many wonderful techniques for soft pastels! Bridging the gap from geometric shapes to animal parts is so well done, again, Thanks!
I think I use purples where a lot of people use Paynes grey. It's just a choice I suppose and if there's a yellow light then I'll really be pushing the blue violet tones. Pastel provides such a rainbow of colours rather than thinking about mixing them, I find it encourages me to test colour theory more. Watercolour is a world I'd love to get into. But I'd have to totally rewire my brain haha!
They're made by Prym for craft storage. I use the 1 ltr trays and normally source them on Amazon if not the Prym website. Here is my video about them ua-cam.com/video/0IyRop6PwQg/v-deo.html
