Oh, how proud your mom must be! I just can't get enough of this seal! I watched this video once so far, but I will be back to rewatch it. I'm so interested in pastels...l was so surprised to see all of the colors your used so masterfully and how the alcohol wash served as your underpainting. Brilliant! I now want pastel pencils and some Pastelmat. I'm hoping some pastel classes will be coming soon!
My Dad left me his art supplies - all to do with oil painting but it was a lot! I had switched to watercolor when I had kids so….anyhoo… it’s always a joy to see his stuff around the studio. Really enjoyed this video- I also bought pastel and conté sets as Daniel Smith was closing.
Your work is just beautiful and, as always, it’s so helpful to hear your insight on the supplies themselves. Thank you, also, for sharing the ‘journey’ of this time of life with your mother. You are a blessing on so many levels.
Oh, I watch Monet Cafe too. She did two wonderful tutorials about using isotropic alcohol to create the under paintings. I love this technique too. Your for sale is beautiful. I’m sure your mom absolutely loved this painting.
Absolutely love it. I love using pastels on pastelmat. I also use coloured pencils on pastelmat and they seem almost like pastels on the rough surface.
You should be proud - it came out beautifully. I’m sure Mom will love it. Hmm, looks like fun. The alcohol technique is super cool! I like the idea of pastel as the base layer and pencils on top. Something similar to a base of Copics.
That may work great too! I took a class in which watercolor and pastel were used together, so you might be seeing that sometime in the future. I didn’t like it back then, but maybe I will now.❤️
I love pastel pencils cos they allow for more control than sticks and so vibrant in colours. Your seal on rock is super gorgeous with all the different colours blended tog. I really must try this alcohol wash soon - can save lots of time!😊
I have just started working with colored pencils but UA-cam got me curious about pastel pencils. Now I know pastels are too messy for me... or maybe I'm too messy for them.Your skills are like magic. The seal looks great, thanks for the video!
You did your mom proud! I'm sure she's going to love this, especially knowing you used her supplies. Quick question - the triangular blender you use, it is foam and replaceable or can you wash it and reuse it? Seen you use it several times now, and it always looks so clean! Also had never heard of the alchohol blending method before. How neat that it turn the powder solid and not dusty! Always learn so much from you! TFS
I am sure your mother is so pleased with your work. It is wonderful to see and watch you create.
My husband came into my craft room while I had this playing on the tv and he was mesmerized by watching you and said, "Wow, she's so good!"
Aw tell him Thanks from me!😍
Wow Sandy, your drawing is spectacular and so realistic…
Of course your mom will be proud of this piece. It’s gorgeous! 🦭
Gorgeous seal! You did honor your Mom well. Love hearing that she advised you on your recent homework, too. Blessings to you and your Mom.
Thank you so much!
I'm sure your mom is proud and that she loved this Fur Seal!!!! It's just awesome!

It’s so beautiful! I really loved watching you layer after layer and watching it come to life. Just stunning! Thank you
You’re welcome 😊

That's awesome, Sandy.
Fantastic job! Love this so much & I'm sure your Mum would be Proud of you.😍
I love it! I've got to get my pastel stuff out and try them again.
Absolutely love it. I love using pastels on pastelmat. I also use coloured pencils on pastelmat and they seem almost like pastels on the rough surface.
I totally agree! In the last few months I drew a deer and fawn on it, as well as a kingfisher---both videos are here on my channel❤️
@@SandyAllnock1 thank you, I will take a look
Ahhh, Sandy, what a beautiful rendering. Your Mom will love it.
I think so too!

I need to get out my pastel pencils and pastel sticks. Beautiful painting!
You should! They’re so much fun to draw with ❤️
Beautiful drawing. I❤the rock
So gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Well done! I for one am proud of you!

Pastels just require some planning, to figure out how to avoid messes. The first couple attempts teach you a ton, LOL!
Stunning!🥰
Awesome drawing! I’ve never heard of using the alcohol with pastels. Thanks for the demo and sharing your mom’s pastels.
G'day! 1 am in Australia, so got to go to bed... I'll catch you tomorrow (my time.). Have a wonderful live!
Beautiful.
Thank you!
Love it!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
I would love to do that seal in watercolor
You should cover pan pastels for one of your videos.
If I owned them...
This is so beautiful 🤩
Wow, this is outstanding 🥰❤️🥰

Yes, you can wash them, but there’s also replacements. I just wish they didn’t pop off all the time, I keep flicking them all over the place.🤪
@@SandyAllnock1 I can just see them flying! LOL
❤
That is absolutely beautiful! I agree that your mom will be very proud of what you’ve done with her pastels
