    Hi Cathy. Thank you for another great video. Even at 1:00 -1:10 on the video you had a really powerful and effective image that was both stark and yet so beautiful... and that was only the beginning. A superb colour combination... and good result. Thank you again. Colin. :)

      Summer Sun 575 Thank you Colin! I agree! The marks made my heart skip a beat when I made them. I worked hard to catch this painting on canvas today! It was a struggle, and not sure if it’s finished yet either! I posted it on instagram if you want to see it. instagram.com/p/B_-ZI2aHLni/?igshid=1dvu76pgkmtcg

      @@CathyMevik. Hi Cathy. I've looked at the canvas and it really has something special about it. A great three dimensional effect as a result of several contrasts in tonal quality. Very good linework... and I love the white marks which work so well. Personally I think that you would need to go very carefully if you feel you should do more with this painting because it is so good at this stage. For me I would leave it. But it's your artwork and the choice is yours. Colin. :)

    Thank you for your generosity, it is wonderful to see your process. It is inspirational for us budding artists. Watching, I know I must trust the process of creating freely. Where can you buy such fine white paint in a vessel like yours?

    • @CathyMevik

    • @CathyMevik
      @CathyMevik  3 роки тому

      Salut Pascal, j'utilise des acryliques. Les pastels sont secs. J'utilise également des pastels à l'huile, mais je ne les applique qu'en dernière couche, car vous ne pouvez pas les peindre avec de la peinture acrylique. J'espère que cela t'aides.

    Hi Cathy, love your videos! I want to start using a sketchbook for painting ideas, can you tell me what kind you like to use? Is this watercolor paper?

    • @CathyMevik
      @CathyMevik  4 роки тому +2

      Thank you Lyndie. ❤ I don't like the texture or thickness of watercolor paper, so my journals have rather poor quailty paper. Most of them have 130 and 140 gsm paper. As long as I use gesso on the pages before I start painting, I have no problems at all. You really just need to try different papers and see what you like yourself. At least that's what I had to do.

    Dear Cathy, what is the diference inbetween the brands of the pastel Companies ? Since i am complitely new to this kind of art i see some brands like Kohinor, lyra, and ofcourse the really expansive ones like schminke Rembrandt etc.. are the first one i have mentioned be good and enough for me ? What is your opinien if you plz .. thank you

    • @CathyMevik
      @CathyMevik  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Gila. As a beginner you might not know what you like and don't like, so if you are unsure, just by some loose pastels. I would go for the high quality ones, and build my supplies if it turns out you like them.
