Beautiful Bear Painting💖💖💖

thanks for the great tutorial Susan! Much love as always

It's absolutely gorgeous! Thank you, Susan, for sharing it with us! God bless you!!!!!!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Really really liked this video learned a lot so much so I am going to go back to grey / white part of a dog and work in some more colours. Thanks again Sue I think this is one of my favourites so far as I am working on dogs at the moment

This was apleassure to watch. Thank you!

Love your videos

I am a wildlife nut, so for me, this was outstanding. Loved the informative discussion of color!

Fantastic one off your best

Beau travail, compliments!

Sweet bear painting, I have a bunch of animals that I have photos of and need to get going on them! Zoo photos are not always the best, but a lot cheaper than a trip to Africa or Asia! I believe that you are speaking of Bear claws not finger nails, as most animals have paws not hands. Oh, but everyone has their own way of talking.

Hi! I live in Sweden and Senneliere pastels and card is easy for me to get here. Thank you for sharing your beautiful bear! Claws and all ☺️❤️

You are so welcome my friend! You will see in the video that I actually used less than 25 pastels in creating this painting and I share the colors. Sleep well and have fun tomorrow!

@@monetcafe hi Susan 😀, I wanted to ask which paper did you use while painting the flamingo one because since I've been using woodcraft sandpapers, and pastel pencils for any miniatures and objects like this. It's actually really bad, it damages the tip of the pencil quite a lot. Also do tell what's difference between sanded paper and woodcraft sandpapers in terms of pastel application. Love from India ❤️

Merry Christmas thanks so much for all your help 🇦🇺🥂🥂🍾🍾

Wonderful

It was a real justification for the original picture and was gorgeous. Love the way you explained things. Because of you I purchased soft pastels, some colored pencils and some oil pastels. But I'm lack of confidence as I get stuck without knowing what to do. Maybe that's natural for a beginner. Keep up the good works and appreciate your efforts...

Yay!!! Keep it up! I got very frustrated when I first started using pastels, but little by little you start understanding and getting better. You can do it ☺️👏💜

@@monetcafe you are an amazing artist so thank you so much for all your wonderful tutorials! God Bless!

I'm just amazed that you can get little tiny details like the bears nose and claws with that big chunky piece of pastel. Also, you prefer Sennelier card over Pastelmat?

Ha ha, yes, it does take a little bit of finesse. I actually make little tapping motions to feel where the pastel is going to land before I make my mark. And I happen to love both of those surfaces you mentioned, but Sennellier just wonderful for animals and portraits.

Love this guy!! I finally have a few pastel supplies so hoping to try soon. God bless you Susan!!

Thank you

Hi Susan, just lovely. Can you tell me the name of the third pastel on the left on your palette please?

Thank you, most beautiful. It's funny but I have a bear sketch sitting ready to start. By the way what is the music you played, I could really paint to that.

Thanks!! The music I use is from the KZread audio library. KZread has music clips for me to use that don’t have a copy right. You can probably check it out on KZread, but unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the song and I’m not near my computer right now. Have fun!

Hi, what surfice might be the other option or the closest to Sennelier pastel paper?

There are other surfaces that I like for animals, such as, UArt (400 grit), Ampersand Pastelbord and Pastel Mat. I also have been using a sanded paper made by Fisher (also 400 grit) that can be ordered from Pro Art Panels. Hope that helps.

I like Clairefontain pastelmat papers for a sweet surface too. It grabs the pastel very well too. They come in a variety of colors to allow you to start your painting with out an under painting or contrasting color wash.

Hi, I can't find the clickable link to the reference photo. Please would you resend it? Thanks loads x
