Harkens back to when we got some new media, like crayons, pencils or paint, and you just had fun playing around. Exploring what you can achieve with it.
Panpastel can be lifted with garden variety Faber-Castell eraser at least from the FABRIANO® Tiziano pastell paper. I checked other brands in my collection with mixed results from not at all to slightly. Sadly I couldn't find my Faber-Castell eraser pen, but both the white in a slide-out plastic sleeve and both sides from the blue and red school eraser worked splendidly.
I'm learning a lot from your generous sharing of your techniques. One question: Is there a reason that you only post 720p resolution on your channel? Given how much detail your work has in the charcoal, I'm constantly wishing for some 4K! Thanks.
No. I use several paper but they’re all a hot press watercolor paper. I like cold press as well but for a smoother finish the hot press usually works best:)
I was wondering that, since I saw people using black pan pastel basically as a replacement to charcoal or as first layer before using compressed charcoal. How much does it lift? As much as it would vine/willow charcoal, or less?
Hello, I have some questions : -Are you still working first with underlayer charcoal powder then using graphite then charcoal pencils again or did you change since the first videos and just work only in charcoal? - When I try to use charcoal powder then a brush on the powder, the powder just go away completely. I seen in a video from before you used a big plat brush to push the charcoal in the fiber but when I do it, it just push the charcoal away from the paper. Does it mean my paper is too smooth? Thanks for the great channel.
I don’t use graphite at all anymore. I think the magic is that the charcoal can come off so easily. Try using different brushes, old ones work great and don’t take off as much charcoal, soft versus hard bristles make a difference as well.
Awesome! I need to experiment with this! Does the pastel saturate at all the paper? I am assuming the graphite over that will feel very different than graphite on the paper?
Thank you for sharing. It looks nice!
Very nice , thank you for sharing .
I like the result .

A mr. Clean eraser ( like for your kitchen ) will pretty much remove pastels, use it dry. Love this video.
I will try that:)
Very cool technique, Eric!

I post in 1920x1080. Not sure why you can only see a low resolution version🧐
@@ericmessinger1361 Thanks for the reply. For some reason it's now 1080HD, so all is good. Thanks again.
Great idea. Thank you! And i love the guitar piece you have in the background!! What is that? Who is that musician?
This is really cool!!, is that on pastel paper?

love it 😀
I’ve been using pan pastel for a few years. A kneaded eraser will lift panpastel.

It can feel greasy. You have to be gentle when applying the pan pastel.
