- AVOID This Pastel Drawing Mistake at ALL COSTS ! I JasonMorgan.co.uk
In this pastel lesson video I show you how making a simple mistake when using your transfer paper to transfer your drawing to clairefontaine pastelmat can completely ruin your drawing, even before you add any pastel pencil, soft pastel or panpastels at all!
There is a simple solution as I show in the video.

Doh! It is just so obvious once it's been pointed out!
I don't usually work from reference photos etc, and my pastels are used for landscape and spontaneous drawing. However, sometimes I want to transfer my rough sketch to the paper I want to use in other media, and have to be sooo careful to go softly.
In fact, following your idea through, I could use coloured pencil on the back of the paper (because it's something I do so rarely, I use graphite on thin printer paper or baking paper).
Thank you, Jason!
For anyone thinking it over, Jason’s patreon is FANTASTIC. It is a wealth of knowledge and so enjoyable.
transfer paper is not a gift when you have a residue depending on pressure applied no matter whether using Pastelmat or UArt etc but one solution I've been using is applying a light color of PanPastel on the back side of my reference paper then use that vs graphite this way the pastel can blend in easier or easily get erased with top layers. Only issue is I don't want to lose my marks... learning as I do more this approach works....that's the satisfying part... the aha moment.... thanks Jason and also on the recent purchase of your 68 page e book on dogs
HI yes I cover that method in a video a couple of years back and also in the full-length of this video :)
Didn't even know there was a white transfer paper. Never seen or heard of it. Great video and tip.
Yes I foolishly ran into this while doing some people portraits! I had not done one in decades and the skin tone was light. The way I salvaged this was to go over those lines with gouache. I still made that mistake but to a lesser extent on my next portraits of a family & discovered that the graphite didn't play as nice w the pastels, causing a sheen. Not pastelmat though, mixed media paper.
Hi. Great video. What i do not understand is how you combine two different colours of transfer paper in one project. How can you tell that the reference photo is placed exactly the same position when switching between transfer papers?
Wooooww...👍
Hi, could you please let me know what App you use to transfer photos into Skechers? I’ve tried several, but keep getting too sophisticated Skechers instead of simple ones.
Hi what transfer paper do you use please?
just a cheap on like royal llangnickel
Do you recommend carbon or graphite

When I got mine there was only carbon transfer paper available on Amazon, so I had to chance it - and I'm glad I did! I got a set of black and white carbon transfer paper ages ago, and that has worked really well. The only issue I've ever had was when I first started using it, and pressed too hard with the transfer tool... But that would have been the same whatever I used.
With regard to graphite transfer paper, I haven't used it for decades. But, from what I remember, the line is slightly shiny (like you get with an ordinary HB/#2 pencil).
The other useful thing I got was some vellum paper - more see-through than tracing paper, but feels more sturdy. If I want to combine an element from one reference with another reference, I can transfer one set of lines onto the final paper as normal. Then I trace the line art for the other onto the vellum, coat the back with a thin layer of pastel, and transfer the line art onto the final paper - I can see exactly where I'm putting it in relation to the other reference(s).
Again, I got it because Amazon had no tracing paper I was prepared to buy (from the reviews). But it turned out to be better! ☺️
