Fantasy portrait in soft pastel ✨my painting process

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi everyone! I wanted to explain today a bit of my process when I’m painting with soft pastels 😊 I’ve been asked a lot about this so I hope it helps. It’s not very different from my oil pastel method but I think it can be useful to see anyway. Thanks for the support! ❤️
I’m using pastel pencils (several brands) and Rembrandt pastels on Pastelmat.

    Yolanda this blows me away. I watched your oil pastel painting of a blonde girl earlier on grey paper and that was beautiful and now watching you paint this with soft pastels. I'm speechless. The skin on the girl's face in this painting is so angelic, so pure and flawless. It's the skin most women dream of having. Just when I think I' ve seen it all you come up with this beautiful number!. This is so pretty. The colours are so soft. It's like a glimpse into heaven. DON'T EVER give up on your art. You are so gifted. I have learned so much from you. You Tube has given me a whole new lease of life because I love art. And I' ve learned so much about different mediums that before I got into KZread didn't know existed. And I LOVE IT. I'm like a child in a sweet shop buying up everything and trying them at all at home but was a bit shy of these pastels both oils and soft pastels. I was a bit like a fish out of water with these but seeing you do masterpieces like this. I think it's time I made a right good splash and tear into it. 😂😂. Thank you so much. God bless you and I hope you have great success with these you deserve it. Love Susan ❤❤❤❤👍🙏🙏🙏🎨❤🌹🇮🇪💕

    I love your comments, Susan! Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️ I think soft pastels are amazing to paint children and angelic or almost ethereal portraits: the are so nice and soft, and applied in thin layers you can create very subtle hue variations ❤️ I just love them and I wish I could use them more often. Thanks a lot for taking the time to write 😊 I hope you enjoy your paints!! Have a nice day 🌸

    If I didn’t hate the dust and getting my fingers dirty so much I would probably do soft pastel stuff, but I love to see other people work with it

    I honestly don’t get dust almost anywhere other than my hands and right below my easel 🥲 I can’t do it more often because of the invisible dust particles floating in the air that give me issues, otherwise it’s possible that I would paint exclusively in soft pastel. It’s just lovely ❤️

    Gracias Yolanda tus tutoriales son preciosos, pero me dijeron n clase que para pasar un dibujo al papel donde voy a dibujar en pastel no use el lápiz xq después me afectará al pastel, pero veo que tú lo usas , tu notas algún problema después a la hora de aplicar el color pastel sobre la línea de grafito que quedo?

    Muchas gracias, Maria! Mientras el grafito esté aplicado suave y por encima, el pastel lo cubrirá sin problemas. Por eso también hago el dibujo por un lado y luego lo transfiero: para no tener que hacer líneas de más y para que me queden finas y suaves.

    Me dijeron en clase de arte que para usar pastel oleo tendría que usar algún disolvente o algo así pero veo q tu usas la misma aplicación que con el seco , y me pregunto si se puede aplicar igual los dos solo con los dedos, porque hay tanta gente que dice que es mejor el seco pastel que el oleo pastel para algunos? Gracias

  • @YolandaBlazquez

    @YolandaBlazquez

    2 ай бұрын

    No hay necesidad ninguna de usar ni disolvente ni aceites, se difuminan bien con el dedo. Los aplico de forma muy similar ☺ No lo sé pero a mí me gusta más el acabado del pastel seco, tan aterciopelado y bonito, además es mucho más fácil hacer correcciones pero tiene la gran desventaja de soltar mucho polvo aunque no veas las partículas y es por eso que uso el graso.

    Thank you 😊 by paint I mean pigment/pastel, if I don’t apply enough of it it’s not possible to blend smoothly. The grain of the paper has to be covered first but thinly, otherwise applying many layers afterwards it would be difficult. I hope I explained myself well but let me know, sorry for the confusion.
