wonderful!!!!

Your basic instruction is so understandable and applicable! I am excited to watch this series on KZread! I hope others see how beneficial your videos over on Patreon can really “UP” their pastel learning experience! I have to set aside more time to enjoy these videos more! I do enjoy stopping and starting a video to catch each and every point! Thanks Emma, really a wonderful series for KZread! I can’t remember the last time I had a live set up to work from. Like you I have spent years creating art for others for pay, so still-life does not happen very often! Truly inspirational and so lovely.

Thank you! Yes it's funny how commissions are great as they are guaranteed sales, but then sometimes they take you away from experimenting and growing as an artist too. Then add in video making and you really run out of time to experiment! But now I'm a bit braver I can experiment and film them for video content too...win win :-)

So good - and so inspiring! 👍🌟 Thank you so much for this video! 🌷

Thank you so much for sharing the technique and good tips 🤗

I love still life as well. Thank you for this demo.

I love this demo - it feels like I'm in your studio watching you scetch. Thank you for covering the basics

Thanks Melanie! Will make some more basic drawing technique videos soon as I think it's really important for the painting skills too.

Wonderful as always... thank you for this Emma!

Thank you so much 💜

Nice tutorial, thanks!

Am back again! I did a set up & photographed it; have too many 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 to leave it up. It took about 3 hours from finding the elements & putting it together. Have a new appreciation for photographers now too. Hope to be joining your Patreon channel in a week or so. Thanks for all the inspiration! 😆

Haha, I have quite a few furries around too, the cat really did threaten it one day after I mentioned him in the video. But he's really the only risk to it. I think I spent days considering what items to use. I changed the cup 3 times, had a pot plant in for a while. It's tricky but fun!

@@EmmaColbertArt - Think it would have taken me so much longer had I not seen your video! I was exhausted just from setting it up. 🥱 Nixed the rhododendrons & went all azaleas 🌺 - think they’ll be changed to white instead of pink. 8 cats & a dog ... the dog is smaller than 3-4 of the cats who observed everything intently. 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 Hahahaha - gave me a new idea 💡- pot plant with bong & Meerschaum pipe! 💦💦💦 👖💦💦💦

Yippee! Perfect timing. 😆 Definitely inspiring; think I go cut some rhododendron & azalea branches for a floral bouquet!

Sounds lovely! Love both those plants and their flowers. Must have a go at a floral still life too :-)

This tutorial was very good for me. I understand now how you use the pencil to measure, but I am still not sure how that measurement transfers to the paper.

Glad it was helpful. Once you figure out the distances using the pencil, you can scale that any way you want on the paper. For example, the height got split into thirds with the tea canister in the centre third. My thirds can be any size, as long as that canister fits in the middle one. Painting could be 4 feet tall and the same would apply. It's really just about figuring out the percentages and then using that to scale to your paper. Hope that makes sense!

I used brown Pastelmat, and I think it was 19" x 13". It should say at the start of the first painting part of this series.
