Hi Daniel, As somebody who works primarily in graphite, I totally agree that contrast plays a key part in making a picture look striking and dramatic and like you said it really makes a picture stand out particularly from a distance. I have also found at exhibitions that this can draw somebody to a picture and then as they get closer they then really start to appreciate the detail. Excellent video and really good advice, thank-you.
Its magical that you brought the drawing into life. Its realistic and beats a dslr camera capture. All the explanation is so very helpful for beginners. Thank you very much for all the information.
Hi, your work is beautiful. As an older 'hobby painter' I have fallen into the trap of being scared to push the values and my portraits have had a cartoony look about them. I had a comical theme running through the series and working from old photographs so 'got away with it' to a degree. Having had no formal training this has been an excellent tutorial so I now understand the terms and where I can improve. Thankyou.
I absolutely love this pastel painting. It’s my favorite other than the lion with the water! I’m not a painter but I’ve worked in colored pencil and starting to learn pastels this year.
Definitely a great video..I Do Pastel Chalks just like this..and I do Oils as well,I even took my medium to the next level and started tattooing human Skin..
I would have just used browns on the deer and would have been way off. I've only been painting for maybe a year or little more. (Which I'd have started years ago). If I want to paint something with realism I always have to follow a tutorial. I hope one day to be able to figure it out on my own.
I sometimes use a very light spray of windsor and newton pastel fixative ( too much and you can lose the colours and contrast) but most of the time I either store it with a piece of glassine over the top or put it straight into a frame.
Outstanding tutorial as usual. Would it be possible for you to do a video about pastel paper size and what can realistically achieved on smaller sized pastel paper please? I’m wondering if I’m sabotaging my pastel work by working on too small a sized paper - I use Pastelmat or Canson mi- teint touch (apologies if spelling is off 😊). I’m a big fan of your detailed work.
I will see what I can do, for a pastel piece I don’t think that I would personally ever go smaller than 5” x 7” if you want to include all of the hair details, however you can still achieve a realistic looking piece without all of the tiny hairs on a smaller piece by making sure the colours/values are correctly place
Love this video and is definitely something I’m going to actively think more about. I started in graphite pencil so values were super important but I think I lose that in my pastel work
Thank you! I started in graphite too then moved onto paint, getting the right values in colour is still something I have to consciously think about in every painting
I'm a self taught artist and I'm struggling to find books and videos to help me improve. I absolutely love this! It helps a lot
Same!!! So much wisdom here
This is not just informative; it's very helpful. The process is amazing,and the artwork is truly magical.! Props to you, sir!🎉

This is my opinion as a non professional but you should do alot of work in pencil and black and white because it helps with shadows. It helped me

How the soft pastel product don’t delete with the time from your ending master piece ? I asume you protect it with kind of sealant? Can you tell us ?

Wow! Do you use any fixative once finished?
I sometimes use a very light spray of windsor and newton pastel fixative ( too much and you can lose the colours and contrast) but most of the time I either store it with a piece of glassine over the top or put it straight into a frame.
I think you should have painted this deer in mono chrome. This would explain values better.
I like it beautifull
