This is something I've had LOTS of requests for, so here you go... A colouring tutorial for pastel background. I've used Staedtler chalk pastels here and an image from my adult colouring book, Magical Jungle. www.johannabas...

Thank you for this tutorial! I struggle with backgrounds using colored pencils, and your video is the best one I've found using soft pastels. I've never used them, but I will now! I just got my first book of yours, Magical Jungle, and my first set of oil pencils, Brutfuner squares, and I'm loving your book! I can't wait to get more!

I just love your books! Whenever I feel stressed and anxious I would open one of them and start coloring it really helps me out and it's so much fun to color as well. I have almost all of your books, and I can't wait to try this new technique

I color first and then put on the charcoal. Even if I liberally spread going over the colored page, it does not cling at all to the pencil.

Hi Johanna! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and techniques with us! In the video you mentioned to not use oil pastels. It just happens to be so that that is exactly what I have accidentally bought (on the package it said it was also for scraping, but I'm thinking this was a bad translation). I bought Staedtler Noris Club 24 jumbo oil pastels. Can I still use them for my coloring? What are these best suited for? It would be great if you could make a video about that. Thanks!

@coloringwithd5 жыл бұрын
You are the first person I've watched that has put down pastel before coloring but you could be doing that just to demonstrate the application and effect? It looks nice and i think it would help me with my pallet selection. Is it okay to to spray the finished piece with a glossy sealer after everything is completed or will it react with the fixative put down on the pastel if you did that step first? Thank you for demonstrating this medium. Have a nice day.

If in Australia Jackson's sell West Art Workable Fixative which allows you to keep working with pencils after spraying the page. I also use it to seal Gel Pens. You can use it several times to seal as you work. Hope this helps.
