Thoroughly enjoyed Amanda paint in pastels. A nice technique and wonderful skills. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills Amanda and thank you Graeme for introducing this fantastic artist.
Wonderful! Thank you Amanda for sharing your knowledge, tips & tricks. I love pastels and learnt a lot from watching you paint today, you are a fantastic Artist. Thank you Graeme and Colour in your Life, I always look forward to watching your show.
Love this, I feel very fortunate to have been taught by Amanda on numerous occasions including Norfolk Island, reviewing her beautiful work at leisure is such a valuable ongoing learning tool.
Been waiting to see this, Amanda! Wonderful to see your work on show, and to hear your emphasis on texture. Well done! Thanks for coming to Canberra, Graeme.
Libellula Washington Thank you ! The big pastels are Art Spectrum Studio size. They are great for big work but unfortunately I don’t think they are available anymore. - Amanda

I tear off the paper once I've swatched, as I need to know what colour I'm using when I make notes or re-order!

Sorry for my lack of understanding but is this dry pastel or oil pastel? I think it is dry pastel but then I see the pastels and some appear to be in the form of oil pastels. The branding doesn't help as I never saw these brands. I'm also not that knowledgeable about pastels - I just decided to try it and bough some student grade dry and oil pastels.
Hi Jose. These are all Soft Pastels not Oil Pastel. The two don’t usually mix. Think of it like Watercolour and Oil paint. I’m not sure what you mean b6 in the form of Oil Pastel. Both come in round sticks. Hope this helps a little.
Yes, I agree. There's not a lot of point for me in watching an artist work, if I can't pick up some pointers. Much of the time I just couldn't see what Amanda was doing with the pastels.
You prolly dont care but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Shiloh Kieran Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
The one thing I hate about pastel paintings their fragility. The need to at least double mat, and frame behind glass makes them very expensive to produce and to sell (i.e. ship). The few t times I have used pastels I ended up spraying with an acrylic medium and mounting like an acrylic with no frame. Of course the colours can change so you have to be careful of that, and you can no longer enter the work into a pastel only competition (as far as I know). Just wondering if Amanda has any thoughts on that subject?
Third Dimension Jewellery I almost never spay my work, not even with fixative, so never with acrylic. You change the nature of the medium and essentially turn it into Gouache or something similar. You lose that gorgeous powdery bloom that makes it such a beautiful medium. I also would NEVER frame without glass as it would be a dust magnet. Every medium has its pros and cons. I can put up with the fragility because of all the positives about the medium.
Fantastic! Bravo! Merci! 🤩🤗💯🍀👌💐🎄🎉
One of the best landscape artists in pastel living in Australia today.
Thank you so much Peter. I’m humbled by your comment.

Unusual that the paper is on all the sticks as you paint! I tear off all paper when I get my newbies, which is all the time!

best bet Jose id to contact Amanda directly through her web site. Im sure she can help you, Graeme

Amanda's art is wonderful. I was disappointed that there wasn't more time on her drawing close up.

Admittedly, it does turn it into something different. Like you said, pros and cons to them all. Anyway, your work is beautiful so you keep doing you!
