I'm so new that I'm literally S H OO K ET H when you said that shading uses complementary color, then u use green to shade on the red????!?!? THATS AWESOME THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE WHOAAA✨✨
Yes, your painting will stay vibrant using complimentary colors for shading. A color wheel is very helpful in deciding what colors to use. Your local craft store should have it. I think pastel is a wonderful medium to paint with. I’ve made lots of mistakes but that’s ok. This is a great video. I just love how quickly he applies the color and how fabulous the painting is😁.
Less cheering please, it depends what medium you're using, the object of the painting and generally the way you're painting and the result you want to get. It's not a unmovable rule like that you gotta stop at the stop signal. It was right in this kind of painting/ drawing.
I was glued to this demonstration like a kid watching a magic show. A lovely sketch in 10 minutes without speeding up the footage. So many tips and techniques. Many thanks
I'm a retired teacher and newbie to art..especially to pastel.I bought a box of sommelier pastels and when I opened the box the colors reminded me jewels. I found your demo very helpful as my teacher never showed me how to use pastels. Used tube for help. Thank you
I think that you are the world's best artist. Can you please upload many tutorials on soft pastels please. I also have the box of pastel you have and I think that Sennelier Half Stick Extra Soft Pastel are the best.
I’m so glad I’ve found a left handed artist like you monsieur. I’m a leftie artist too! It’s not easy to find left handed artists actually. Merci beaucoup! ☺️
I have a set of the pastels on my wish list and will be watching your videos until they arrive. Beautiful work, and I appreciate you teaching us to play with colors and experiment, which gives confidence. Thank you!
I am new to Sennelier and am completely wowed by their beautiful colors and quality, watercolors, pastels and acrylics. This video was very helpful to me as I am also new to working with pastels. Thank you and thank you Sennelier for the pleasure of working with your magical colors. xxxx
I'm not a big fan of such painting styles, but I really like this brand and this particular set: the colors are perfect! Other brands can put up to 60-80 colors and I would never use 1/3 or even a half of them, but here every color is really cool )
Wonderful! Love this still life, and Your technique are great monsieur. I never use pastel colors or oil pastel (ok when I was a little girl but it is not the same !) but looking at this vlog I seriously think to buy a set to improve my skill and try new medium to express me. Mercí pour cette video.
I have spent decades in the sciences. Recently I have tried Art for her first time since my youth. After trying many mediums, soft pastels are my favourite. ‘Simplicity’ in both science and art is so often the best. Technically I am not a good artist however my soft pastels make me ‘feel’ like a great artist. As a lefty with poor handwriting I find art a great equalizer.
I love everything Senelier! I have Senelier half pastels, oil pastels and oil paints although I am just beginner in every type of media. Yes, they are expensive... and if I go for everything Senelier, I will be broke soon. So I have to resort to cheaper options for practice. The simple Apple drawing is great. I followed the video and produced a quite nice result... not as good as you. But I'm happy with it :)
I wandered away from my usual pastel paper, and thought I'd give the La Carte paper a try. I found that the La Carte paper holds very few layers of pastel, which is contrary to the claims Sennelier makes about the paper. I also found out that when I brushed water over the top of the pastels on the paper in order to create a watercolor effect, the water wore away the fibers and left a huge unrepairable white splotch on the paper.
Thank you for such a gentle and lovely voice with accent. MMM French accent always reminds me of food. I know why however that is another story. After dusting off the pastels January 1 and deciding to make a picture, at least one, everyday. Then I would watch how it is done. The spreading of the colour is so relaxing. Deep rich intense colour. Colour heals. May all who venture into the land of pastels be healed with the colours.
Merci beaucoup, je n'ai pas encore testé le pastel de Sennelier, mais travaille, avec ces couleurs, en aquarelle. Votre démo. me donne envie. Plein d'envies et de visions ou projets. Merci beaucoup et bonne année 2020 !
I have just ordered my first set of Senellier pastels. Really looking forward to trying them out. Interesting to see you are working light to dark as most tutorials I have seen recommend dark to light.
Thanks for the demonstration, I have doubt, ¿Why did you use yellow in all the apple, and not only in the brightest parts? that makes the colour is brighter than the original, I think. thanks
when you top the yellow with the red, notice how he leaves an area without coverage. this allows the image to create depth once you blend in the colors. otherwise, it would look like a 2d drawing
I ordered a set of Sennelier soft pastels today ... Can't wait to try them out! I've been using Rembrandt and Art spectrum .. your demonstration was pleasing thank you for sharing
That was so very helpful! I have just bought some soft pastels and absolutely ruined the picture I was attempting because I didn’t have a clue how to use this new, to me, medium. Your demonstration was very well done and has inspired me to have another go.....and use them properly. Kind regards
I love the soft pastels with paper. I bought some and will try on my own. You made it look so easy. The pencil certainly helped with outline. Do you recommend for beginners?
OK, ok for basic instruction - but - the VALUES are so wrong - the leaf and apple should be so much darker - that's what's so hard about pastels, I think, getting good color matches - you need a thousand sticks!
Who else is pissed he wasted that very very very expensive paper to do a sketch of an apple. As a starving artist I'm literally crying just wishing I could afford to practice on pastel card. Hey Sennelier how about you hook up the needy like me? I'm tired of Uarts sanded pastel paper.
On sent bien qu'il s'agit d'un Français qui parle Anglais !!! Pourquoi n'a-t-on pas une version FRANÇAISE ?? Je suis désolée mais on devrait pouvoir avoir le choix de la langue !!!!!!
Good! But omitted showing how to use the fixative! I feel that every painting with soft pastel requires the use fixative. Otherwise, it is easy to get damaged any time in the future due to accidental touch with hands or any other objects. You could have shown the use of the fixative also!

Please tell me the name and number of the last two pastel sticks on the second row. I have that box, but I have used those two almost up. I can't figure out which ones that they are to buy them separately.
The video is awesome for many reasons: great artistical techniques, great demo, beautiful simple art, and the guy's accent is remarkable: "Apply ze color, on ze paper, wit ze finger..." Loved it.
At first I'm like, what are you doinnggg it looks so ugly, then I just blinked and boom, a fantastic work of art, I have never been that impressed and fascinated. Thank you.
Wow this is amazing....ive been struggling with pastels, did a bunny rabbit yesterday , not impressed, this tutorial is GREAT, and your voice so relaxing too..Thanks for sharing this ! :)
Hello Yyve, this is a new way of Art for me , Can i work with these pastel on canvas ? 2. Can i work as a mixed media - combined them with Acrylic on the same painting ?
I'm so new that I'm literally S H OO K ET H when you said that shading uses complementary color, then u use green to shade on the red????!?!? THATS AWESOME THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE WHOAAA✨✨
I was really surprised with that as well, never thought of it

It was right in this kind of painting/ drawing.
I thought shading was supposed to use the color of the surrounding background, like it's a mirror almost, but that was for skin specifically maybe.
I was glued to this demonstration like a kid watching a magic show. A lovely sketch in 10 minutes without speeding up the footage. So many tips and techniques. Many thanks
Beautiful. Experts always make it look so easy. And you sir are an expert.
I believe hiţs not an expert and if u try to drawing u can discover zour part of "expert"
Exactly! Thank you so much.
eaudeviederoumanie I think I understand what you said
Ofcourse he is an expert , he represent a company for God’s sake...
@@eaudeviederoumanie ll
I really like the result :))) Thank you!
Although I can't understand how you can draw in a white shirt while I'm as dirty as a Peppa-pig afterwards.
That is sooo me!
You cannot wear a white shirt while painting, unless you have the French Accent ....
IreanaR lol ikr
French Touch ahaha
Iike
Anyone else love that wonderful scratchy sound from drawing on the paper?
Me too
No

A sommelier is a wine expert.
Sennelier is the pastel brand.
Renzo, made me smile too when I read it.
Finally could work with soft pastels in the university’s work(well we were supposed to get taught how but covid-19 happened) so merci beaucoup 😊
Absolutely beautiful. You have inspired me to try soft pastels.
I think that you are the world's best artist. Can you please upload many tutorials on soft pastels please. I also have the box of pastel you have and I think that Sennelier Half Stick Extra Soft Pastel are the best.

A second in and I love this already. Love the accent as well!
anyone else find his voice really soothing?
Me
Yes, I could listen to him all day
Too hard to understand!
Yes, the whole video in itself is soothing...{the sounds, studio setting, voice, etc...}
Cheryl A Parr do you prefer to listen with french language ? 😉
I have a set of the pastels on my wish list and will be watching your videos until they arrive. Beautiful work, and I appreciate you teaching us to play with colors and experiment, which gives confidence. Thank you!
I watched this video because I didn't get why my art looked shity
Now I KNOW: I worked on normal paper (notebook paper)
hahaha
this tutorial was just what i was looking for. You make it look so darn easy and the effect is magical!
I am new to Sennelier and am completely wowed by their beautiful colors and quality, watercolors, pastels and acrylics. This video was very helpful to me as I am also new to working with pastels. Thank you and thank you Sennelier for the pleasure of working with your magical colors. xxxx
Merci beaucoup monsieur !!
J'aime your videos! (sil vous plait, je ne sais pas francais very well.)
This paper seems so beautiful!! Beautiful shiny and bright apple, it was very enjoyable watching you paint this. Thanks for another lovely video Yves!
The way you are applying the pastels are so satisfying...who else get satisfied by it like me?
Loved the simple subject. Beautifully presented and structured technique. Thank you for the detail explanation.
Great tutorial. I didn't know to use a complimentary colour for a shadow. Sennelier pastels are wonderful, I will have to try the board. Thank you
I found this video very informative and most helpful,thank you.
I'm not a big fan of such painting styles, but I really like this brand and this particular set: the colors are perfect!
Other brands can put up to 60-80 colors and I would never use 1/3 or even a half of them, but here every color is really cool )
I’ve only been using watercolors and acrylics. I think I will love soft pastels
Honestly this is the first time I've ever even seen someone work with pastels, very interesting. Thank you for doing this.
Wonderful! Love this still life, and Your technique are great monsieur.

Brilliant.mi love sennellier colours and paper . I think they are magnificent.
WOW...Thank you for producing this video. You make it look so easy beau! I will try.
You made it looks so simple.. Thank you!! 🥰💗
I'm a art student so it's really important for me to know everything about colour. It's really good and I want to make painting like him.

Do you use a specific kind of towel to wipe your hands on? I am having trouble with smudging unwanted color from my hands onto my work!
Thank you for this very well explained video, learned a lot !!!! ♡ cheers
An apple has brown stik. Tomato has green one ))
This is a fantastic video, but think it is time for another! Perhaps pears or some other fruit?
That was so very helpful! I have just bought some soft pastels and absolutely ruined the picture I was attempting because I didn’t have a clue how to use this new, to me, medium. Your demonstration was very well done and has inspired me to have another go.....and use them properly. Kind regards
Great video,beautiful ,nice sharing my friend,love it❤️....👍.......👍..........👍....👍..👍 .❤️
I love the soft pastels with paper. I bought some and will try on my own. You made it look so easy. The pencil certainly helped with outline. Do you recommend for beginners?
exelent, Thank you, I love sennelier products, I ' m from Colombia and am working with sennelier watercolor and that colors are amazing!
OK, ok for basic instruction - but - the VALUES are so wrong - the leaf and apple should be so much darker - that's what's so hard about pastels, I think, getting good color matches - you need a thousand sticks!
I have seen this video first time then I offline it then I seen and tried then I wanted to see it again so it is coming blank in black colour
Which paper was used? Please provide me information ℹ️ about.....☺️😊 ( gsm and size & company of paper)😋
Who else is pissed he wasted that very very very expensive paper to do a sketch of an apple. As a starving artist I'm literally crying just wishing I could afford to practice on pastel card. Hey Sennelier how about you hook up the needy like me? I'm tired of Uarts sanded pastel paper.
U did this in very easy way and it looks very beautiful and realistic ✨
Hi, I bought 120 half sticks from Amazon India. 32 sticks are still wet, not dry. How to dry them?
On sent bien qu'il s'agit d'un Français qui parle Anglais !!! Pourquoi n'a-t-on pas une version FRANÇAISE ?? Je suis désolée mais on devrait pouvoir avoir le choix de la langue !!!!!!
Good! But omitted showing how to use the fixative! I feel that every painting with soft pastel requires the use fixative. Otherwise, it is easy to get damaged any time in the future due to accidental touch with hands or any other objects. You could have shown the use of the fixative also!

Sounds like the Inspector in the Pink Panther and drives me crazy! Turning off.
Great tutorial, the colors are so vibrant! I like the fact that you utilized brush for details will try it!
Merci beaucoup! This is very helpful for getting started.
Nice tutorial thank you so much I did it and the result is amazing 😍
Is the cloth you are using a special one because when I'm using the darker colors it's very hard to remove it off my hand without smearing it.
I'm a tattoo artist. Doing the light color first then shading is a tuff switch. Looks great tho.
I do have your brand name pastels but they are called oil pastels. Are you using oil pastels. Thank you. Mart
Really appreciate this introductory video. What type of brushes do you use to manipulate the pastel? And do you apply water, with the brush?
Hello Larrys, the brush is "Le Pastelliste", a specific Sennelier brush for pastel. Use it dry without any water.
Please tell me the name and number of the last two pastel sticks on the second row. I have that box, but I have used those two almost up. I can't figure out which ones that they are to buy them separately.
You didn't use the spray fixative. I was curious to see if it would have darkened the highlights.
Not close enough, very basic, obviously pushing the brand
Hi, I would like to know which side of the paper you used? from the smoothest or the most porous or textured?
Thank you
eduardo insaurralde gonzalez the more porous side
since your the expert, can you do this with mixed media paper?
not exactly a professional, but i think you can use mixed media paper but it wont be as good as the pastel paper
but sir thia color is very dust what is soliution🤨?
The video is awesome for many reasons: great artistical techniques, great demo, beautiful simple art, and the guy's accent is remarkable: "Apply ze color, on ze paper, wit ze finger..." Loved it.
Merci très joli pastel. Thanks a lot this is beautiful 😊
What do you do with this after? They smudge incredibly easy.
AS LONG AS YOU'VE GOT YOUR APRON ON , WHY NOT GRAB A MOP, AND DO THE FLOORS. THERE,,,THAT'S NICE !
You made it look so easy..but then I started drawing and it soon became a disaster. I can't seem to be able to draw :(
thanks sir .... nice technique i will also make it
I ever curi and 佔為己有 的 1 set......more than this....I think 60 colors.....when she went study n working outside
Muy bueno 👍 I liked the process and the final result ... what kind of paper he used?
Your accent isn't very strong...
At first I'm like, what are you doinnggg it looks so ugly, then I just blinked and boom, a fantastic work of art, I have never been that impressed and fascinated. Thank you.
Thanks! Just bought Sennelier oil pastels, know nothing so video helped me for my 1st. trial. Thanks
It's so beautiful.
Where can I find this paper ?
What is name of this paper u used
Akhilesh Rai I don’t know the name. But it was sennelier brand, so just search sennelier pastel paper. But I think that any brand will work!
Your work is amazing! This is very helpful
You made that look so easy
Wow this is amazing....ive been struggling with pastels, did a bunny rabbit yesterday , not impressed, this tutorial is GREAT, and your voice so relaxing too..Thanks for sharing this ! :)
Wow, beautiful! Thank you! 😃
Hello Yyve, this is a new way of Art for me , Can i work with these pastel on canvas ? 2. Can i work as a mixed media - combined them with Acrylic on the same painting ?
I am not sure I want to use my fingers for the paint.
Does the pastel easily wash off?
what kind of paper are you using? I need to get some packs of it.
Kind of magic:)! Sennelier is my favourite pastel brand:) Thank you!
Your a left handed artist thats cool im only a right handed anime drawer
Hello! What towel are you using in this video? Seems it quickly removes colors from your fingers, I like to have one!
What is fixative and is it necessary to use after your done with a Pastel art??
Wow 😳😮 can you give me a soft pastels please
