It turned out great, very beautiful. Can I ask you about your process for getting the initial drawing down? Are you using pastel pencil and drawing directly onto your pastel paper or drawing it on regular paper and transferring over? Or something else? Thanks.

@CaroleRodrigue

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I draw on paper and transfer either with graphite paper if I’m using a light coloured pastelmat. If I’m using dark paper, I’ll outline the back of my sketch with white pastel to transfer.

Hi Carole, It is absolutely stunning. Do you paint on pastelmat? Which pastel pencils Do you prefer most for your technique?

@CaroleRodrigue

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, this was on pastelmat. I mostly use Caran d’Ache, some Carbothello Stabilo, and Rembrandt pastel sticks. There are also some times I’ll use some Conte a Paris and Generals pencils. I like the white Generals.

Love your rose painting, Carole. I was wondering if you used sanded paper or not? Also, I find that when I use a pastel pencil, it looks flat compared to the soft pastels -- it does not have the luminosity and I can see where I used the pastel pencil and where I used the soft pastel. I am a beginner and I appreciate your video.

@CaroleRodrigue

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Renee! This was pastelmat. I used to work with sanded paper until I fell in love with pastelmat. It’s easier on the fingers, holds a lot of pastel, and is great for detailing. I wonder what sort of pencils do you use? A good pencil should give you good colour and luminosity. Also, I cover my work with glassine as I paint. It’s the same paper I use to cover paintings for shipping or storing.

@@CaroleRodrigue I use Derwent pencils and sanded paper (Uart or Mi-Teintes Touch). When used alone, they are fine, but when I try to use them along with my soft pastels, you can see the difference. The pencil is just different. I usually use them to draw what I plan to paint (when I'm not doing impressionistic work) and then go over that with hard pastels first (NuPastel) and then a blend of other softer pastels (Terry Ludwig, Jackson, Great American). I have not tried Pastelmat as it is so costly for a beginner (not making any $$ on my paintings, although I did sell 2 of them to friends when I posted them on Facebook - lol). I have received a small sample of Pastelmat when ordering other art supplies, but I just can't afford $5 a sheet for a 9x12. Just the pastels have ruined our savings. lol We are retired now, so we have to be careful how we spend our $$. I sure did love your rose painting and I'm going to try your technique. I've ordered a few PanPastel to help with the background and initial laying in along with some of the tools for PanPastel. I can't wait to try it. I wish I had you by my side to guide me. lol But this video helped me a lot. I hope to see more of them.

I’m wondering if perhaps your initial layers are too heavy? I always make sure to keep my first layers very thin so that I can build up more layers without my colours all mixing in together. I’ve never used Derwent pastels so I can’t comment. Pastel sticks are softer than pencils so easier to layer. And yes, pastelmat is costly so not a good option for practice and learning.

@reneekroyer5104

@@CaroleRodrigue I try to keep my first layers light by using hard pastels first. I think that the paper I am using does not take as many layers as I'd like and that is probably a huge part of it.

What kind of paper did you place over your painting to protect it from smudging? Is that wax paper?

@CaroleRodrigue

2 жыл бұрын

That is a sheet of glassine paper. The pastels underneath won’t stick to it so everything is protected. I also use it when shipping.
