In this beginner-friendly lesson you will learn the 3 stages that ALWAYS help me to create better pastel paintings. I will also be using a new set of pastels made by @Arrtx for the first time. Watch the lesson to get my reaction for this set!
The final painting is of a beautiful night scene, and you will watch the painting come to life as I take you through these 3 stages:
Stage 1: The Value Study
Stage 2: The Color Study
Stage 3: The Final Painting
PRODUCTS IN THIS LESSON:
NEW FEATURED PASTELS:
I was recently asked to review a new set of soft pastels offered on Amazon made by Arrtx. The 48 set has a nice color selection and I found it very interesting that the color numbers were embossed directly on the pastel.... pretty neat. I was quite impressed with the quality since the cost is very affordable. This is a great starter set for beginners and I think a good addition for any pastel artist. They are archival and the consistency leans on the medium/soft range.

Hope you guys enjoy this brand new lesson featuring Arrtx pastels and my three stage process for pastel painting. Let me know what you think because I love hearing from you.

The learning process is something that will separate the art lover, from the artist; when an artist that truly love's their craft, the process is a labor of love, over choice. ❤️

I have gotten away from doing studies for my painting projects. Alain Picard is another artist that relies on doing the preparation for the final painting. I am not a beginner, I have not considered myself one for over 30 years. Now I have never used soft pastels and they are a completely new way to work and it has been an acutely humbling experience! I am appreciative of your generosity and sharing of your expertise in these videos, thank you. You are truly inspirational and so generous. Please take care and keep sharing your pastel techniques, have a lovely day!

I am a re-awakened artist and I have fallen in love with Pastels. In my early 50's I decided to pursue my passion for painting which began in high school and my earlier years in college so long ago. Life expectations took me in a "so not me" direction and now I'm getting back on track 😊 I began with watercolor, transitioned to acrylic, and still something was missing, until now! I was directed to your channel because I love the artistic expression of Monet and was doing research. I have never heard of Pastels until now. But the very effects, techniques, and natural approach I was attempting with my self taught acrylics couldn't be executed but THIS I sense is the right medium for me. Especially the finished look and impression that these paintings give. The layering, values, and colors- this is immersive. The outcome can be dreamy, yet bursting forth with expression and hazy form. I absolutely love it. ❤ I am a new subscriber and am thinking about joining your Patreon! I like your style of teaching, information sharing, and personality. I can learn in the comfort of my own home. 😊Lastly, I am amazed at your love for the most high [God] as well and the fact you aren't afraid to say it. ❤

Thanks, Im a beginner and was wondering about what paper and what coloured paper to use. It’s amazing how the paper affects the way you apply the pastel. I have this Hahnemuhle pastel paper, 45lbs paper; quite thin; can’t apply too much but it has a nice outcome if applied lightly. Thanks for your teaching.

@monetcafe Жыл бұрын

Hi Marlene, I’m glad you liked the tutorial and you are so right about the type of paper affecting the final results. I thought I was doing something wrong when I first started painting on unsanded surfaces and then I found out that sanded pastel papers allow for much more layering and vibrant color. I actually now enjoy painting on unsanded surfaces, but when I was first, starting out, it was quite difficult. Have fun and keep learning, sweetheart!

I have found using 2 coats of clear gesso works on watercolor or heavy weight paper. If I want to tint the paper a different color, I apply 2 coats prior to the clear gesso.

Yes, I have used this technique as well. I too like toning the watercolor paper first. So neat to have so many ways to make our own pastel surfaces.
