I now realize that whenever I am struggling with painter's block, all I need to do is to watch some of these videos. And then I'm in the mood to create right away!!!! After books, RUclips is the most underrated treasure trove in the world!! ❤️
Chalk pastels & chalk pastel pencils work great over & under acrylic paint.....even in portraits. U can really achieve a unique but familiar look.....aged & traditional while enjoying the benefits of modern tools such as fast dry times. When u r in the zone & would prefer to continue with layers, no need to wait or switch to another painting. Thanks for the content! Much respect ✌🏻
I am really enjoying these videos; they are liberating. My daughter found art school to be really constricting, U of C doesn't have a great art faculty; so she went into art history/German/linguistics; but has watched these videos and left muttering about leaving the country and really studying art elsewhere.
I enjoyed New York Academy of Art. I did 12 weeks at Slade and found it constricting - too much theory and too little skills training. Did a month in Florence and found it too constricting because it was too traditional even though they actually taught us painting skills. NYAA was my personal happy medium. Expensive studying in NYC though.
A very very good video and demonstration!! Thank you! I respect Paula Rego and her work very much. I was fascinated to learn from you how she achieves her effects. Good luck with your own very talented work.
Somehow I’ve never seen these works of art, but not that I have I’m incredibly inspired to create some art inspired by her! I also wanted to say that this video was beautifully filmed, and the artist teaching did a wonderful job ❤️
Exceptional. As a visual art educator I find myself using TATE very often. This is perfect timing as we are teaching narrative work based on the imagery adn stories of the Grimm's Fairy Tales. Thank you for creating and positing this film... I am sharing it tomorrow!
Looks like Katy is using Lascaux fixatitve. Lascaux claims it's not smudge proof, but doesn't change the appearance. Apparently it's difficult using a fixative that sets a pastel picture without changing the way it looks. I don't know what Rego uses, but Degas used a casein based one.
I really enjoyed watching this video, although I have just gone back to using pastels in the past after not using it for more than a decade, this gave me so much motivation and try using the techniques of Paula Rego, and beautifully demonstrated by Katy Papineau. Thank you so much!
I met Paula, very briefly, while she was Artist-in-Residence at the National Gallery. She incorporated many of the staff into the sequence of paintings she made for the restaurant in the new wing of the gallery. A truly amazing, and deeply disturbing, on occasion, artist. And a wonderful woman. One of the great European artists of our time.
She was a disturbed woman, so she naturally made disturbing art. Unless it's a commission with strict specifications by the patron, art is a reflection of the artist.
great works. your pastels are very smooth and have reached their maximum technique. hope you are always healthy and keep to produce good works. greetings from Yogyakarta
When you talk about using Conte pencils to draw the outlines, which specific ones do you mean? Theres the charcoal ones, the graphite ones, and the drawing ones to choose from? Thanks anybody x
Lovely but Rego not only inspire on fairy tales, she work with power tematic, and that make her work complex and profound. She didn't mean to be "cute" or "simple", she is a great artist.
She may have done this, but she was fascinated by a certain woman who worked with her through many paintings. She would pose this woman with props, just as we see in this video. You can see her rather masculine face in much of Rego's work. Sorry, I can't recollect her name.
@@Earnshawfully I know she had an assistant, but much of her work was first making up models to draw from, and that was part of her assistants work. I read that somewhere a long time ago. I shall have to do some research
I would just say - best not to blow soft pastel - tapping the edge of the paper is safer as it's not good to inhale the powder. Very interesting video - thanks!
Maybe she's using unsanded pastel paper. In that case applying gesso makes the paper grittier and allows the paper to hold multiple layers of pastel easily.
I think you mean the drawing board, she tapes the paper to the drawing board using masking tape. This keeps the paper steady while she draws on it. Then she can peel off the tape easily after all her work is over.
@@Tate No, sorry, its something not seen here 😅 When I've have seen Paula's exhibitions there are enormous drawings on paper mounted on aluminium or canvas and I've always wondered how she does that?
Teddy Livingston lol no, that’s Melanie Lynskey. Edit: I admit that I also thought of Melanie because Katy really reminded me of her with her soft voice and similar looks. 😁
To fix the pigment of the lower pastel layers in place, so they don't move into other areas when the upper layer of pastel colours are applied on top of them.
I love art but when i see or imagine myself drawing using live reference..it makes me anxious, am i taking too long? Im definitely taking too long and this model probably feel tired(even though its their job😐)
Don't worry. You're not taking too long. It can be a slow process and people work at their own pace. There's no right or wrong speed for creating art. We paused every 20 minutes so that the artist and model could take a break. See if that works for you :-)
Which folk tale would inspire your pastel drawing?
Tate Hansel and Gretel 🍄
the Japanese folk tale of the ghost of Yugao (1886), by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi
the Russian tale - the girl Vasalissa; who is sent to Baba Yaga's hut to get some fire for her stepmother's cottage fire.
not a fairytale but Alice in Wonderland
Baba Yaga.
Makes me realize how much I need art in my life.
Same. I live for art, I can't without it. ❤️
Yaayy! I hope you find enjoyment in your art journey 💕🖌️
I agree I believe everyone should try art they would realize how calming it is.
I now realize that whenever I am struggling with painter's block, all I need to do is to watch some of these videos. And then I'm in the mood to create right away!!!!
After books, RUclips is the most underrated treasure trove in the world!!

SO TRUE!!!!
I love this series. Easy to digest, in depth, and tactile.
I definitely didn’t search for this video but did enjoy watching it haha! The explore page works in mysterious ways

Maybe she can look into online courses at the better schools, considering what happened to Paula Rego when she attended the Slade School of Fine Art.

I love that saying : the picture allows you to feel all sorts of forbidden things
So true! That's why I sometimes get anxious when I paint
I love Paula Rego’s work. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for this video Tate! I really like Paula Rego! It is nice to find quality content on youtube about pastels.
A very very good video and demonstration!! Thank you! I respect Paula Rego and her work very much. I was fascinated to learn from you how she achieves her effects. Good luck with your own very talented work.

I would to love more art exhibitions on pastel artworks and drawings.
This girl has the sweetest voice along with that lovely English accent. It's inspired me to learn how to draw and paint.
Lovely job and so nice to discover the talented artist that is Katy Papineau.
wow! This video is amazing! Her voice is like silk and her skills in making and in explaining are phenomenal! 👏🏼👏🏼
Excellent , thank you Tate and of course Katy Papineau. Very inspiring.
Although not properly my view of art, I have learned a lot and appreciated the hard work behind the works. Thank you very much for this video!
This is so insightful and calming, thank you

I use hairspray which darkens the image. So I always bare it in mind when I start an image
There are probably no fixatives that doesn’t changes your image even a bit, including pastel or charcoal work.
Lovely! Inspired my morning!
Her voice is so nice
A beautifully presented and well-filmed video. I was intrigued to find out how it would look at the end! I'm going to search for more of these now. :)
Awesome drawing! Thanks for the demonstration.
That was really good. You ended up with a great piece of work.

I am hard-pressed to not fall in love with you Katy...but your voice is making it impossible :)
I would really love to see a video about *oil* pastels and Paula Rego. If you need any video ideas Tate ;) that would be lovely
Thanks great video I tried it but mine looks nothing like yours yours is so good but I’m glad I gave it a try thanks for sharing
Always a pleasure to hear Queen's English. When will I see you draw like yourself, in your style?
This is really a great concept ! Very interesting and fun
Замечательная студия. Вдохновляет 💞
great works. your pastels are very smooth and have reached their maximum technique. hope you are always healthy and keep to produce good works. greetings from Yogyakarta
I love working with chalk pastel on strawboard
That voice is art itself
That's beautiful. ❤️
Презентация отличная - это всё, что могу сказать.
loved this - really great video!
A very good lesson in technique.
Pastel drawing comforts us with another soft texture from watercolors.
When you talk about using Conte pencils to draw the outlines, which specific ones do you mean? Theres the charcoal ones, the graphite ones, and the drawing ones to choose from? Thanks anybody x
Thank you!
Wonderful presentation. Thank you. Source of your red smock?
Great content! I really like this artist, inspirational :)
This, is real contemporary art.
Beautiful!!!
It was unusual and new. Really interesting and a pleasure to watch and listen to! Thank you!
This is a great video
Beautiful!
The folk tales of John Henry, Dashrath Manjhi, and War . Man versus Machine, Man versus Nature and Man versus Man.
Great one ❤️❤️
Beautiful work
Lovely but Rego not only inspire on fairy tales, she work with power tematic, and that make her work complex and profound. She didn't mean to be "cute" or "simple", she is a great artist.
Power tematic?
@@Fyrtenheimer Im pretty sure they meant 'thematic' as in subject matter
@@hayleyb467 ohhhh, thanks
Thank you, enjoyed this.
Loved everything about this video. Subscribed.
1:45 and a hundred years of hard practice
what a fantastic video thank you for sharing
Very interesting 👍🏻
a good way to get inspiration...
Nice tutorial. But did I miss a step? When did the black paint come in?
At the beginning a bit of black paint was mixed with white gesso for the gray undercoat :)
@@Lena-gadam ah okay. Thanks!
Beautiful
Excellent 👏🏻👏🏻💖
Wonderful 💋 thank you ❣️😊
great style of art. im not saying this often, this is nice!
💚🙏
love this. thank you.
Drawing is supposed to be fun and what she's doing😉
wonderful
Thank you!
Omg a Portuguese artist! yesss
Omg I'm sorry I don't mean to freak u out but u are so cute
Cuty bife
Didn't Rego use dolls and model rooms rather than people?
She may have done this, but she was fascinated by a certain woman who worked with her through many paintings. She would pose this woman with props, just as we see in this video. You can see her rather masculine face in much of Rego's work. Sorry, I can't recollect her name.
@@Earnshawfully I know she had an assistant, but much of her work was first making up models to draw from, and that was part of her assistants work. I read that somewhere a long time ago. I shall have to do some research
@@Earnshawfully The assistant's name is Lila Nunes
@@Tate Thank you!
This is a unique technique
I would just say - best not to blow soft pastel - tapping the edge of the paper is safer as it's not good to inhale the powder. Very interesting video - thanks!
Excuse me, what spray do you put onto the surface?
Katy used Lascaux fixatitve.
Well done!
Wonderful
Why pastel paper if gesso is going to be applied over it anyway? Would not any paper work in this case?
Maybe she's using unsanded pastel paper. In that case applying gesso makes the paper grittier and allows the paper to hold multiple layers of pastel easily.
Çok güzel, şahane 👌👍👏👏
Do a how to paint like Alphonse mucha
YES.
nice! thank you
How does she fixes the paper onto the canvas? 😯
Hi Omar, Katy applies fixative to the pastel paper between each layer of pastel. You don't need a canvas for this activity :-) Hope this helps.
I think you mean the drawing board, she tapes the paper to the drawing board using masking tape. This keeps the paper steady while she draws on it. Then she can peel off the tape easily after all her work is over.
@@Tate No, sorry, its something not seen here 😅 When I've have seen Paula's exhibitions there are enormous drawings on paper mounted on aluminium or canvas and I've always wondered how she does that?
Does fixative allow to put colour over it ?
=) That was cool. Thank you. =)
‘Well done’ Katy! Great work, you’ve just helped unblock me.
Thank you.this is great ♥
👏👏👏💕
Wonderful and her work was very mysterious, I’m glad she had it. Probably saved her. All art does. It seems.
Is this one of the sisters from Ever After??!
Teddy Livingston lol no, that’s Melanie Lynskey.
Edit: I admit that I also thought of Melanie because Katy really reminded me of her with her soft voice and similar looks. 😁
Nat MJ hehe thank you!
really nice
goooood!
How to paint like Modigliani pls :D
What is the fixative for?
To fix the pigment of the lower pastel layers in place, so they don't move into other areas when the upper layer of pastel colours are applied on top of them.
I love art but when i see or imagine myself drawing using live reference..it makes me anxious, am i taking too long? Im definitely taking too long and this model probably feel tired(even though its their job😐)
