Thanks, Matt! 'blocking in colors and making adjustments', and mixing black with other colors to look more natural are two ideas I appreciated hearing, today. Really good reminders.

Thank you! As a beginner, I followed along thinking there was no way mine was going to turn out...but in the end it did! I'm really happy with the result. Wonderful tutorial!

This is what I really like about your KZfaq channel; you get right down to teaching, without any time-wasting extranious stuff.

That lemon is so good! I can't wait to try this!

I just finished this tutorial and before I do anything else, I want to thank you for you for this clear, fun, and informative lesson! It’s given me confidence to believe I can move forward. I really appreciate having the opportunity to learn!

Thank you very much! This is my first pastel exercise and I am so enjoying it! Very clear and motivational instructions.

Excellent… your teaching instructions r spot on. A natural… a soft makeup brush from dollar store works well for removing dust… beautiful… pastel is a lovely medium…

Matt, your style of teaching is fun, informative, interesting...and addictive

Your clear instructions are wonderful. I’ve learned so much already! Thank you 😊

This looks just like an oil painting rendition. Beautiful.

Enjoyed this and did my first lemon on oil pastels (also first apple and first time to use oil pastels which I bought today while out of town) I need to practice 30 min a day like you said. Life gets in the way and other projects ...

Fantastic. I am inspired and will watch again and practice.

Beautiful! Mi fai venire voglia di comprare pastelli e matite e cominciare a creare! Grazie

I used this for my very first pastel exercise! It was ok but, I think my paper was too rough as it showed through even after much blending! But, at least now I ‘ve discovered pastel work. Thanks. Your lemon was great mine it passed for a lemon……just! Big thanks!

You made lesson 1 so much fun. I enjoyed your slow paced instructions. I am a believer!

Brilliant 30 min exercise and very enjoyable thankyou.

I'm new to art this was a great quick practice exercise for me. Mine came out nice for my first time with soft pastels. I see myself using these a lot!

Thank You now that is what I call a Drawing lesson Great job Thanks again

Beginner here ✌️so far loving it ❤❤❤

Bravo, what a talented teacher and painter you are. I find this video very helpful in my learning of pastel drawing. One observation that I have made is that you seem not to be cleaning your fingers after switching from one colour pastel to another, does not mix with previous? colours

Thank you for your stunning lesson! Can you make an exercise for an orange with his leaf? Thank you for your attention😄

I enjoyed painting this and the result was beautiful. Thank you for this video!! Your tips helped enormously. I look forward to working on more of your lessons. Thanks again!

Super super gréât lesson ! Thanks so much !

I love this!

Excelente maestro

Great lesson. Going to do this one today. Thanks.

Gold, good😁!!! Thank You. Grazie. Paolo

Thank you so much for this!

thank you. I did it. Not too bad. Total beginner.

Fantastic demo. Thank you!

THANKS for teaching

Wow! Thank you!

I enjoy your lessons. I am careful not to blow on the pastel painting to avoid breathing the dust. I work in a vertical orientation and tap letting the dust fall into a gutter due to health concerns.

Truely wonderful.

Very impressive.. bigggggg thumbs up

Awesome, I like this dood matt. Easy to listen too and great instruction

Thankyou so much. That was great

Looove

Beautiful Artwork ♥️

Amazing you earned a new sub!

Nice tutorial. One problem: professional pastelists do not blow on their paintings/drawings. They tap the edge on the table top to remove the excess dust.

There's a big shadow edge missing in front or it's way too light.

Awesome 👍

Muy bueno...gran trabajo....

Thank you, great lesson.

Lindo!!!!!!!! Parabéns!!!!

So pretty😁

Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍

Good

Molto bravo

Could you propose us other fruit sketch please? They are so beautiful

Well done! Just wondering about you blowing all the excess pastel. Must make your studio and maybe your lungs dusty?

Nice job thank you,

I didn’t know pastel papers exist . I always used normal sketching paper and wondered why they don’t work . I just did a quickie on watercolour paper and results were good

I am very very new to pastels. Were you using oil pastels or soft? This is definitely I am going to try. Thank you

Wonderful

Love it:)

Thank you for: Using black Blowing on the pastel painting These are two things that seem to be pastel taboos on other channels. Good work!!

Beautiful

I have read over and over that we should not blow on our pastel paintings while working, because the dust is toxic. Since you are working vertically, would enough pastel dust fall off the painting without having to blow on it? I'm just wondering about safety - it is SO tempting to blow the excess away while working!!! Thank you!

Cool👌

Were those Rembrandt Pastel Pencils, or some other? I really enjoy pastel drawings, i find it so much more flexible than just colored pencils!

Which pastel set should I buy?

Do you like sandpaper or textured paper? If so why is it?'.....I love meteintes touch sandpaper....although world loves pastelmat....please comment

Nice 👍🏻

Can I do this with oil pastels??

May i ask you a question.can i draw this with oil pastels ?

Great job! Your voice is soothing, your style encouraging....

Wonderful yet again! Can you tell me please what pastels you’re using?

Nice work, but what sort of pastel use you ? The Yellow is not the same like the other pastel. (le pastel jaune n'est pas de la même texture que les autres...)

Will it look nice if painted on black sand paper?

are you using Oil Pastels or soft pastels, and what brand do you use, also the pencils..what brand are they ? I have really enjoyed watching this, and can't wait to try it, thanks for posting

hola haber si puedes hacer una cesta de frutas

So beautiful, I would like to know what sort pastels brand your using and also the paper description, my pastels seem too soft it takes me a lot to fill the gabs and achieve such vibrant results.

What kind of pastels do you use ?

Please what kind of pestil use.

Hi! Beatitul demostration. Which brand of pastels are you using? Looks kind of creamy

What was the pencil used for sketching? Is it a pastel pencil?

Do you always use your fingers, or will paper towel ing wotk? I am a baby beginner in pastel. Thank you.

dear Matt thanks a lot for the exercises and your instructions. What is the pastel pencil you use for the deep shadow under the lemon? I tried Pitt and carbothello and Carbon but none of them is creamy as yours and tend to scratch the previous pastel rather than blending. Thanks always for your great instructions (I am considering to subscribe, if one it’s you)

Could you please distinguish whether you are using oil pastels, or (chalk-like) pastels?

is this oil pastel?

Wooooooooooq

This was very good but the blowing was super distracting.

Matt. You should not blow uour pastel dust. Please wear a mask.

I can spend all day and forever trying to get a perfect drawing and then I sketch a lemon, use chisel tip markers for bkground & foreground texture and form in 15min and I’m more proud of it than the laborious “perfected” drawing…. Go figure . I’m definitely doing these 10-20min studies daily and probably still doing the elaborate taxing ones

Che tipo di carta ai usato

Like the lessons,but I never blow the pastel.

The top looks fuzzy.

i'm getting bob ross vibes
