I made it to number 6. Most of the time so far has been spend l spent on the art of drawing. For example, looking at values, midtones, etc, is basic drawing. Whether you're drawing on pastelmat, whether you're using acrylic paint, whether you're using crayons, graphite, whatever... you're looking for the darkest values and lightest values and everything in between. Also, quality of photo... Again, this is another one that has nothing to do with pastelmat. I'm trying to find out if pastels are right for me and I wanted to see if I have to invest in expensive pastelmat in order to find out. So this video was going to help me learn all about pastelmat. So far you're just giving drawing lessons.

@1DaTJo 9 ай бұрын

I was just thinking that. This video is not about Pastelmat. You can buy “samplers”, smaller pieces of different pastel papers to see how each type feels. I started off using pastels on regular drawing or sketch book paper. I fell in love with the fact I can use my hands to paint, with no utensils, and I also love that the medium is always ready. No clean up or wastage either. If you try a small number of nice quality pastels you’ll soon see if you like them!

I loved this video which made lots of sense! I only stumbled across you as bought some pan pastel as a background to a swan and cygnet piece. I am a beginner in colour pencil and never tried pastel and found even the BEST quality black paper does not show up the detail and vibrancy of the colours with colour pencil anyway. I love pastelmat and am going to choose the light blue i think as White's are never white, but going to sample both the blue and grey. Anthracite is far too coarse and has a different texture to the lighter colours. Do you find this? I did love that border terrier drawing, but i did agree with your adjustments. Great job! I need to find out how i can subscribe! Not showing on my KZfaq.

There are many different types of pastel paper, and to my understanding this is a more general term that describes any paper used for pastel. Pastelmat is a very specific type of paper specifically designed for layering. It’s a smoother surface that doesn’t make as many crumbs/dust mess and it holds tons of layers. Some artists use pastels on velour/velvet and sanded paper… I would consider these different types of “pastel paper”

In this situation the artist was just using a random stock photo and I was pushing them to add a bit more interest and originality... but the beautiful thing about art is that there are never right answers, just lots of different interesting options.

Gracias lana, pero en realidad te lo digo como dibujante de la vieja escuela, cuando un cliente confía en ti para un retrato de su mascota No quiere Otra Foto, lo que el cliente quiere y confía es en que el trabajo se realice a " Mano" no por programas de computación, No importa un pelo más o un pelo menos.

Bad ref photos are the Bain of my life 😩 even when I make it clear to the owner …..they still send rubbish photos

ha ha.. I totally get you! Would you like a video on how to take good pet photos? You could then share this with clients…I think this might be a good upcoming video idea. Sorry for the super late response. I took an extended KZfaq break, but Im back and just posted a new video today if you are interested: Become a MASTER of Color Theory with This COMPLETE 4 Step Process kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5OdZduFr6zZdIE.html :) Happy New Year!!

@@LanaGloschatArt yeah that would be great! I try not to do commissions if I can help it, but taking my own photos properly would be very helpful. Thank you! Hope you enjoyed your break 😁

I thought this was going to have something to do with pastelmat, this video is great but it's just a regular video about composition and drawing that applies to every medium and every surface.

thanks for letting me know about your experience with the video

@miquelangellc2234 2 ай бұрын

Hola, olvidé decirlo, Antes de la ayuda tecnológica, para un retrato de mascotas solo tenías una fotos de referencia de 10x12 centímetros buenas o de mala calidad, no es una critica solo te comento.

You're making sense but I fail to see why this applies specifically to pastelmat?!

@LanaGloschatArt 6 ай бұрын

I hear you. This video definitely focused on more drawing concepts. I will make a new pastel mat video that gets into the nitty gritty of pastel mat. Also, sorry for the super late response.

I am always open to feedback, however I would have appreciated you offering yours with a bit more grace and tact. I work very hard on these videos and share them freely. Perhaps the next time you offer feedback to someone doing a service for you, you can start with something you enjoyed about the work, or some heart felt gratitude. I think it is important to remember that there are humans on the other side of the computer.

Love your response, Lana. You offered so much valuable and great information. In a superbly edited video, all for free!!! I can never get over the fact people can be so demanding and frankly rude! If you are going to critique something, please do it in a polite manner and respect the time and effort the creator put into the video. Great explanations. Great teacher 👏 Much appreciated ❤

Talks aboit pastelmat and then shows us on a pc. Great.

I can see that being frustrating. When I am editing other people's artwork though I have limited options. Hopefully you still found some value.

@tristancraven3685 11 ай бұрын

Youre winding me up now. . Ive used none pastel matt and a low res photo to make a very detailed very multi layered art from pastel pencils. Its isnt the tools its the artist . Trust me

I definitely think that skill and experience can make up for a bad photo reference but beginning artists should try to stack the deck in their favor whenever possible.
