      Hi, for most papers you are right that pastels would need to be sprayed, however on the pastelmat you don't need to! I love drawing horses, I get the big 50x70cm pieces of paper and do some massive full body drawings, can't recommend it enough! I have a few horse classes on Gumroad :)

      @emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820  15 днів тому +1

      Hi, I haven't done this myself but would think you may encounter some issues. Chalk based media doesn't interact well with a wax or oil based medium like coloured pencils. This could mean the clarity of your marks are lost or the pencils don't show up properly over the pastel/crumble away!

    I literally just used fixative 😢 you can really tell on pastel that the drops land very unevenly. And the drawing gets darker. I don't like it. So I will stop using fixative. Thank you! I am in framing and we handle pastel drawings carefully so we dont smudge them. We lay the glass over it so it doesn't budge.

      Hi Molly, as you already have Derwent, start with those first. You might find them a bit easier on Velour paper, because that paper is kinder to soft pencils. If you find them too chalky or soft to control, then look at a different brand! :)

    I think your videos are great and in this one, the way you inform us how to prepare the work and use the pastel pencils is really informative.
    I have Faber-Castell PITT pencils in a tin of 36 (and the same quantity in Carbothello), plus a few Caran d’Ache and Cretacolor, but overall I do prefer the Faber-Castell type. I store my finished work in a display book, purchased from The Works, which cost around £2, but are only available in size A4. I note you keep your pencils in a bubble bag, but to keep them safe I would suggest you ensure that the “bubbles” are on the inside to prevent them from being popped and thus offering no protection.
    For backgrounds, I thought about using PaPastels and wondered if you used them at all?

    • @emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820
      @emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820  Рік тому

      Hi! Thank you so much, that's really kind. That's a great method of keeping small pieces safe, I'm sure you could source larger versions online, too. Yes, panpastels are a great way to introduce backgrounds. I tend not to add backgrounds as it's never been my style but blocks and pans work well :)

    I have a set of Derwent pastel pencils, I m a beginner adult colourist and would like some advice about using these in adult colouring books. I see that you don’t recommend the Derwent ones, but it’s what I’ve got…unfortunately 😅😅😅. Any advice or video recommendations from yourself or any of your viewers, gratefully accepted.

    • @emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820
      @emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820  Рік тому

      Hi Jane, sorry I didn't see your comment sooner. I would say that pastels probably aren't a good choice for normal paper, as they won't 'stick' to it. I would get some regular colour pencils for those books or your lovely work will smudge everywhere! If you want to use your pastel pencils though, then order some pastelmat as this will provide you with the best surface to use them on :)

Do you know if some type of liquid is used in the blending process like it is acrylics and oils? How do you blend a full page background? Still so many unanswered questions from a beginner.

    Hi Emily, Thanks so much for this video! I am a beginner with pastels and find this information very helpful. I was wondering… when you finish sanding your pastel pencil as you did with the yellow pencil in the video, do you keep all the powder for each colour in little containers and use them for maybe an under painting or blended out of focus backgrounds? It would be a shame to waste the powder that accumulates from the sanding.

    • @emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820
      @emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820  Рік тому +1

      Hi, I don’t usually use it, I have to say, as I just sand onto one piece of paper. It can also be tricky to paint with on the pastelmat, I’ll try and make a video about it! It sort of ‘sticks’ to the paper in awkward patterns. However, I do use it for the transferring of drawings, I’ve got a video about that and I sometimes use the dust to make the imprint 😊

      You can use Faber C. on Pans. You might struggle to get them to show up if your pan pastel layer is a bit thick though. F.C pencils are quite hard, so other softer brands like Carbothello would be easier to use over the top of pan pastels :) I do use F.C over pans, but I reckon beginners might find it a little tricky :)

      Hi, thanks for letting me know about the PDF, I'll take a look and see what's happened there! Hmmm...so in general, no, they don't work together. This is because pastels use chalk as the base, whereas, coloured pencils are wax based. The two substrates won't mix and so you'll end up with a disjointed piece of work. Of course, if you're looking for two mediums that don't mix, like wax and watercolours, then go ahead! :)

I know that glassine paper will protect it during shipping, but should I seal it like I do for an acrylic or oil painting?

      @@kelliecox-riede7432 hi I know this is a month old but I'd use Winsor and Newton fixative to reduce smudging. A couple of light sprays is better, don't saturate it though because it can dull and flatten the colour.

    Thank you, but pastel mat paper? They are so horribly expensive

      Hi! Yes I agree it is expensive which is so annoying! I have a new comparison of the velour paper on my channel, which is somewhat cheaper. The other types of pastel paper are, sadly, very hard to draw on in this style which is why I just can't recommend them, even for total beginners. That said, I used to practice with plain paper and a normal HB pencil to get better at creating textures, being steady with the pencil and understanding values. It's the cheapest way to practice and works!

      @@emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820 I am so glad that you responded, indeed I was thinking of kraft or ingres paper. I will be following your advices. Please help on this subject. Preparing your own paper with marble powder etc I think are out of scope for most of us.

      @@zuheyr1 I have to say I haven't tried making my own - yet! When I have tried the more 'gritty' pastel papers, I haven't found it as nice to draw on for the style I create. It creates a lot more texture and grain, where as I go for a smooth finish. I reckon homemade papers would be better for larger pieces with fewer fine details though. Also, keep your eyes out because I recently got some pastelmat that was discounted down by 40% so it's always worth a look!

    I find Derwent graphite pencils are also really average. You'd think with such a known company they'd be good.

    Just one criticism, the constant 'eerrmm' and 'errr' is grating, to me at least.

      I've only done a few Pastelmat pieces so far, despite having been an illustrator since the 1980's, and your tips have proven invaluable, so thank you!
