Trying Arrtx Soft Pastels ✍️
It's so impressive. You never lose faith and always find your level with whatever medium you are using. Nothing defeats you.
Aw thank you Liza! I think that's called "stubbornness" though 😂 I promise I do get defeated sometimes, everyone does! Struggle is good though, it just means that we're learning! ❤️ Thanks again Liza, I always appreciate your kind words!
@Emily Hughes Art true. If we're comfortable then we aren't being prodded forwards. All skills need a lot of effort and it's the input that pays off
That kettle is darling!! And hearing you walk us through your process is very soothing and enjoyable~ I'm so happy you're receiving products to review!
Thank you so much Roo!! 😊💛
I can't believe this was your first shot at it! You're such a talented painter. I haven't used my pastels in years - mostly because of the mess, but you're making me want to pull them out again. I remember using crystal clear to coat it, however this can affect the colour a bit. I've seen other store them with a sheet of wax paper or tracing paper on top. Btw, you will enjoy the painting experience even more with a less textured paper, pastel paper is not as rough as cold pressed. I remember really enjoying working on a rough craft paper. Toned paper works great! Can't wait to see your future explorations!!
Thank you Yellow (can I call you Yellow? 💛) - Thank you so much for all of the tips! I think toned paper would be so much fun with these! I also think you're right about the paper texture, I will definitely explore using smoother papers with them in the future. :-)
P.s. I'm watching your A.I. picks my palette video right now, and I'm loving it! I had no idea James Gurney released an A.I. version of himself! So cool!
@@emhuesart Yellow hahah! Love it! And yeah he did! You should talk to it. 😉👍 Thanks for watching my video. 🥰
I love oil pastels. I love that you don't have the option to get rlly derailed or exact. It makes the result more expressive and you end up experimenting with more colors aswell!!
I adore your film studies so so much, the mood and unique palette of Amelie is so on point it’s crazy ❤❤❤
I use the Sennelier fixative for my oil pastel drawings in my sketchbook, and the trick is to layer slowly and lightly. Usually I do three layers and it stays put super well! I have not tried it on soft pastels, but my guess is that any fixative works best using light, gentle layers
Fantastic tip! I have since applied more layers, and the pastels are staying put much better. I am going to look into getting the Sennelier fixative when I finish the can I am currently using (Krylon spray fixative) 😊
It says in the back of my fixative that you should coat soft pastel work about 4 times. The studies turned out gorgeous. I hate to get my hands messy but it was very relaxing to watch you sculpt the face with this medium.
Ah that must be where I went wrong, I only did about two coats! Thank you so much ❤️ I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Currently binge watching your videos! You’re awesome! 💜
Aw thank you so much! So glad you're enjoying them 🥰
Wonderful job!!!
Great piece and I love the texture that the pastels make! Exploring mediums is really fun, but I do find myself changing art styles when I do though to accommodate the medium.
Thank you so much! It is difficult to stay consistent with style when changing mediums and this is something I have struggled with too. When I'm trying a new medium I try to think of the key things that I enjoy about my past work. For me that is shape, color, and directional brushstrokes! 😊
@@emhuesart No problem! I'll try that out, thanks! 🥰
I’ve done a lot of research, best idea is rice paper, or glassine. Store it in a cool dark place until ready to sell.
Sell in a frame, make sure you give the buyer an idea of how to keep there art is the best condition. Soft pastels can be so tricky.
Babe, wake up. Emily posted a new video ❤
Haha I love this ❤️ Thanks for watching!
Love your art Emily.
I didn't like soft pastels, way too dusty for me. Wore a mask when using them as I found myself coughing a lot. (Different brand, not Artxx).
You could always use parchment paper to prevent smudging. I know other YT artist The Last Coffe Bean uses clear modge pod to prevent smudging.
youre so talented
Thank you so much 💛😊
Pretty amazing textures and blending you can do with soft pastels! I would try them, but way too messy for me with pets under foot!
Thanks so much Jada! I hear you, they might be the messiest art supply out there 😅 but I really enjoyed playing with them and their different textures! ✨
the bars finish it very soon
Emily you are not gonna believe this! Just yesterday I was looking for some pencils all over my house and instead I found my soft pastels!!! And now you post this absolutely gorgeous video using yours??! Is this a sign from the universe for me to try them again? lol
That's happened to me before and it totally is a sign lol go ahead!!
@@death__ray aww thank you for encouraging me!! :D
No way!! That's awesome! Definitely a sign hehe 😄 I hope you have fun using them again!
@@emhuesart girl, I'm having a BLAST!! OMG?!! I used to suck at using them but suddenly I'm able to paint something semi decent! I did an old cauldron and I love her 🥺 Ahhh I'm so happy, your color magic is definetely contagious, so thank youuu 💕
@@etherealgirl394 ahh!! I'm so happy to hear that! 🥰 that is seriously the best feeling in art! A cauldron pastel drawing sounds amazing 😭❤️
Great work!
So fun! The fact that you can make good work in every medium is really impressive :) Thanks for another video Emily!
Aw thanks so much for watching and commenting Jaq! 😄
So pretty!! Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on how to draw faces? I love your art and I’d love to see your process and hear your tips. No pressure though!
I am planning on doing a "how to paint faces" video in the near future, and it will include the drawing process as well! Hopefully I can get the video out sooner rather than later 💛 Thanks for watching!!
you are crazy talented
thank you so much! 💛
I'm glad you uploaded, I just grabbed my sketchbook as you posted!
Aw amazing! I hope you enjoyed the video and had a good sketching sesh!
The facial expression for the Amelie's portrait is amazing!.😀
Thanks so much! 😊
use hair spray instead of fixative
I've heard this but I've never tried it! I'm sure it would smell better too 😂❤️
I find my pastel pencils are great for the final details of a soft pastel piece. I have both the Derwent and the Carbothello sets. Beautiful artwork as always ❤
Thanks for sharing, I think that might be a game changer... and an excuse for me to buy more art supplies! 😆
@@emhuesart I can always find an excuse to buy more art supplies 😂🥰
Using hairspray as a fixative works really well, on soft pastels, graphite, and charcoal. Just give it a really good coat like a bit excessive with like level 3 or 4 of strength. I use Herbal Essence and i can run my finger over the charcoal with no residue on my finger. I find the same results with soft pastels.
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of mixed media! I love your color blends and seeing you painting the women helped me sooo much!!
I have tried pastel. Same way you did, just used watercolor paper. I can tell from other people expierence pastel paper is the key to keep pastel stay in place. As soon as I can I want to buy at least one sheet of pastel paper to try and it is also good for oil pastel multiuse is always a plus.😊
Ah! Thank you so much for sharing. That makes total sense! 😅 I applied more coats of fixative as someone suggested, and it really helped. I think watercolor paper is okay for quick sketches, but maybe not finished pieces. That is good to know for next time! 😊
This is really beautiful, I love Amelie and really enjoyed hearing your process through this piece, it's an amazing first attempt at soft pastels! ❤❤
Aw thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed!! ❤️
expressive artwork.
I have sensory issues with chalk/charcoal etc- with that being said, would this possibly trigger that? Is it soft like oil pastels or hard like chalk & charcoal?
Ah good question! These pastels are chalk - though most of them are quite soft, some of them were a little scratchy. So this might be a medium to avoid! I believe you could get a similar effect with oil pastels though 😄 Thanks so much for watching!
It's so beautiful 🎉❤Thank you 😊
Thank you! 😊❤️
Lovely 🥰
Thanks so much! ❤️
This is so cool. Now I wanna try them lol
They were a lot of fun, but soo messy haha!
Yay! My favoritest movie ever! And your art is just so beautiful, I love it soooo much! 🖤🖤🖤
Such a good movie! Thank you so much 🥰
