I love this format! I was able to follow along, pausing when needed. The only suggestion I have would be to identify each color along the way. Some colors were identified, but others were not and I struggled trying to find the color based on my guess according to the video. Overall, I really loved this and appreciate the time you have invested in this level of instruction! Thank you
Thank you so much for offering such quality content! Up until now I have primarily used charcoal and graphite in my work. I have been grateful to so many amazing artists on here, but you more than most have really demystified for me how to approach adding color into my art. I really appreciate your careful breakdown of all the minute yet crucial technical aspects that are involved in making masterful art. I’m so happy I found this channel. I hope your platform will continue to grow as the value you’re bringing to the artist community deserves wider recognition. I will share with all my artist friends. I hope as well that others like me who have gotten much out of these videos consider donating within their means. It takes time and effort to make high quality resources like this freely available. Such artists deserve their peers’ support and to make a comfortable living.
Love this. So many “tutorials” are “color with me while I prattle on about my life & share little information about what & why I’m doing what I’m doing….”
You’re well on your way to dominating UA-cam one video at a time! I learned a lot from this format and always greatly appreciate when artists are willing to share their entire process. Now do I expect you to do everything in real time, of course! I would love it! But I would never find the time to sit down and watch them all the way through. So just keep mixing it up like you do! Focusing on one thing at a time is a great way to learn! But throwing a real time video in once in awhile will be a lovely treat! Thank you Lana!
You are so welcome. And thank you for watching and for your support. Also, sorry for the super late response. I took an extended UA-cam break, but Im back and just posted a new video today if you are interested: Become a MASTER of Color Theory with This COMPLETE 4 Step Process ua-cam.com/video/--m2xTJFuDM/v-deo.html :) Happy New Year!!
What a generous tutorial full of useful information and things to tryout. I hope you do more of these. And gorgeous results. Thank you thank you thank you.

Thank you, Lana! this is amazing art work, and very informative tutorial. And yes, I would like to see more of these kind of videos, like how you do drawing on simple subject with limited set of color tutorials. Would you mind to list the color (name or number) you use, I have smaller (24's) set of FC Polys and intend to grab some Derwent pencils for start.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial- thank you so much! ❤ I really enjoy your way of teaching - so I will definetely check out your channel! 👍✨️ I wish you a Happy Easter too, of course! 🐣🐥🐤
Really great, clear and articulate explanation of your actions for this video. Probably the best I've seen - felt like a workshop! Thank you. Guess I will binge your other videos now! 😄
That is so sweet! Thanks so much. I actually have a colored pencil course that is on sale now if you are interested. You can set up a free profile to check out the 30 min sample lesson to see if it’s a good fit. Here’s the link: courses.lanagloschatart.com/courses/introduction-to-classical-colored-pencil-painting And if you use “holiday2022” at checkout you will save $45. Happy thanksgiving! I’m grateful for your support here on UA-cam!❤️
Thank you so much for this video - I’m so grateful for it!! 🍁 I was able to happily follow along, and really appreciated learning about techniques like feathering, layering techniques, etc., which I intend practice with my future drawings 💛 I’m quite happy with how my leaf drawing turned out - thanks be to this tutorial. Is what I drew perfect? Absolutely not but that was never the point for me. Am I okay with that? Absolutely yes. Most importantly, I’m slowly re-building my drawing techniques after putting it on the back burner for a long time and finding a sense of my joy and satisfaction, as I improve and learn along the way 💛
Hello Lana. This tutorial has been so helpful, really. I’m a new artist and quickly gravitated to realism but there isn’t a lot of content out there that gives this form of art significant tutorial time. I enjoyed your attention to all the nuances realism requires. Please please do more realism tutorials. You’re so patient, knowledgeable, and your results so realistic. I could easily learn from you.
This is an awesome video. I’m taking notes as I watch. Particularly helpful right now, Lana as I have started a small piece on fall leaves myself. Thanks so much for doing this, really, really helpful. Love your work.❤❤
That is awesome. I am glad to hear its helpful and I would love to see how your piece turns out. Are you on instagram? Maybe you could send me a picture when you are finished (@lanagloschatart)
Hi Lana. Thanks so much for this wonderfully detailed video. Would you have a video showing us how to pick shadow colors in the shade, especially botanicals please and please? Thanks ahead, Lana!
Hello 👋🙂. I usually like your shorter videos, but I liked your long tutorial here even more. It was full of informations. I think it is a great new format that you could do more in the future. There are people like me who understand a lot better how things work when they have access to the full process. I have a suggestion which is also a request, somewhat : would you please do similar tutorials with other subjects as focuses (like people or animal portraits, for example) ? Other than that, I really like your art and your approach. I really like your artistic decisions also, as they allow you to draw realistically, but in your own way. Seeing your end result next to your subject is a treat for the eyes. Thank you a lot for all the help you offer, and see you 😊 !
Thanks so much! So hoppy to hear it was helpful. I may indeed try some other subjects. Thanks foe the suggestion. So far I have only done this really slow process in my courses. Have you checked out the free preview yet? If not there is a 30 min lesson and other resources available: ua-cam.com/video/3zhJBA82EGE/v-deo.html If you love it, I am running a sale this week. $45 off with code “holiday2022”

I have to laugh at your introduction here, as I was searching through YT for tutorials and was just saying to myself: “I wish I could see something that wasn’t timelapsed and was explained more thoroughly :-) Thank you for this video. I’ll add to the others here that more like this would be nice, although not exclusively.
Yes I would love to do more of those in 2024. Thanks for your feedback. Also, sorry for the super late response.

New subscriber here all the way from the Netherlands 😊 Watching this now 2024 and enjoying it very much! Your artworks are absolutely beautiful!!!! I'm new to coloring pencils. I worked with acrylic and watercolors before. And I love to start with coloring pencils now. ...so it is a new creatieve adventure for me. And right away I have a question. Although it is off topic. Is it possible to use watercolor for painting a background in a colored pencil drawing? Can colored pencils be used on top of a watercolor painting?
Yes its 100% possible to put colored pencil over watercolor. I actually love this approach and I think I show it here: ua-cam.com/video/Z1qh5_nO5Us/v-deo.html and here: ua-cam.com/video/w0F02oVnuPk/v-deo.html If you are new to colored pencil you might also like my "3 Pencil Magic" exercise - its a great exercise for building your color mixing skills and intuition - heres a free guide: www.lanagloschatart.com/3pencilmagic-freebie
good suggestion - i'll keep that in mind for the future. Have you tried my "3 Pencil Magic" exercise - its a great exercise for building your color mixing skills and intuition, which will help when you are picking colors and the artist doesn't tell you which color it is - heres a free guide: www.lanagloschatart.com/3pencilmagic-freebie
I use lightfast paper in this project. Amazon: amzn.to/3sd8eIJ Blick: tinyurl.com/4dy8cnxy Sanded paper is a separate product. You don't have to make it, just purchase from blick :) BLICK: tinyurl.com/4mpfmenb
Hey! I use tons of different pencils, my all-time favorites are probably the Derwent Lightfasts, have you tried those? Sorry for the super late response. I took an extended UA-cam break, but Im back and just posted a new video today if you are interested: Become a MASTER of Color Theory with This COMPLETE 4 Step Process ua-cam.com/video/--m2xTJFuDM/v-deo.html :)
I have a question: I do botanical art like you- which colored pencil set is better for such kind of art? The derwent lightfast set of 100 or the caran'dache PABLO set of 120? At first I thought the lightfasts, cause of their creamy Buttery consistance, but they are also be able to hold their point (I heard) - but then I saw their COLOUR RANGE! And even they are 100 colored pencils , there are so few LIGHT and BRIGHT colours, the most colours are muted and in the darker range... and thats also VERY BEAUTIFUL , but is it the RIGHT choise for a botanical and flower artist? The Pablos -I dont know much about them, only that they are firmer then the lightfasts, near to the polychromos. And there colour range is MUCH brighter. What DO YOU personally think? There is a big sale at the moment, so the time to decide is running of 🙈 You would be a Real help!!
Hey Nina! I am sorry for the delay. I wish I had seen this earlier. I am a derwent pencil fan for sure. I haven't used the pablos as much so its hard to compare them but most of the botanical art on my channel was made with lightfasts and I have been very happy with the color range. This set seems like a decent deal, though not a huge sale. amzn.to/3VOkT4D
