Dear Fulton, thank you for the lovely comments! The box is actually from a watercolor set, I just used it to mail the pastels in. The pastels are Kohinoor brand (made in Czechoslovakia), "Toison D'Or Extra Soft" - I hope the greens and neutrals on the bottom layer didn't break as much! Also, I get better color by drawing on paper and transferring it to the plate - if your plate is soft, this might work better. Much love!

I agree with Katherine regarding applying the pastels to copy paper (because cheap paper is as good as better in this technique,) apply the paper to the plate, rub, and remove. Then apply a thin layer of paint and pull your print. It works like a dream. The image will be a bit softer than the original drawn pastel, but still true to colour. Your pastel drawing on the copy paper will still be there, and is reusable with a bit more application of pastel. ♥️

@BronzinoHandmade Жыл бұрын

You might want to try drawing with the pastels on paper first, then cut them out (similar to the way that you use your collage and your cutout laser print elements). You can then transfer the pastel drawing onto the plate very easily. Once inked and printed the pastel is embedded in the paper and fixed. Clear gel medium makes for a good transfer of lines as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and exploration with us!

Hi. Pan pastels work best on the gel plate. You could try using the pastels you have through a strainer over a stencil. This would make a finer layer.

I really like your spontaneous hand painting. It inspires me to let go, paint more from the heart, intuitively. I've been exploring hand painting with transparent color over highly textured areas- getting caught up in the details of it, just as I was with watercolor. I'm surprised to learn more about Frank Stella. My memories of his work are hard edge, flat color paintings! Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else. Thank you, Fulton. Wonderful work as always!

The best way I’ve found to get pastels on the gel plate is by transferring. I draw my image on paper and colour in as much as I want with the pastels. Then I put the paper, pastel side down on the plate and press hard on the back. Lift the paper and the pastel image is on the plate. I haven’t very much experience but there are some good videos about it on KZfaq.

I find that if you draw with the pastels on paper first then press the pastel drawing on to the plate, roll paint onto the plate in the usual way then transfer the image onto your usual paper, the colour is much stronger. You can transfer an entire picture/image this way and the image does not rub off or smear. Definitely worth experimenting with. Have fun.

I also like hearing his thought process as he works. It’s pretty enlightening. Great channel.

Hi, AW, you can draw with pastels on anything. Scrap paper included. I like to use brown craft paper, the type with lines. The two sides give different effects. But I have tried all kinds of paper. Butcher paper works well too…. Then transfer it to the plate by rubbing. It gives really lovely results, and the peculiar thing is once you have transferred them to the plate they do not rub off on your hands and will transfer with the original texture of when you first drew them! One of my favourite additions to the other mediums I use. You can also use charcoal in exactly the same way. You get exactly what you draw too as effectively you transfer the image twice, so you do not have to worry about reversal. Directly drawing on the plate is not that great, and you risk damaging the surface. I think the results are very like the same look as lithography. You can also make marks very expressively and the plate will catch it all when you transfer the image. Clean up with oil is of course very effective afterwards.
