Tina, you are so talented and a great teacher. I am more into abstract landscape and flowers, I am new to pastel pencils. I bought Caran d Ache Luminance colored pencils. I was so disappointed. Perhaps I was working on a wrong paper. I can at least use a few Stabilo pastel pencils, to do a sketch, on a regular paper, or watercolor paper or on acrylic paper. As I understand you, pastel pencils are easy to put a color on a paper and the Stabilo brand is watersoulable too. Thank you so much for sharing. Art supplies buying is like a jungle.
Hi Helga! First of all, thank you very much😊 The caran d ache pencils are definitely good, but not so easy to layer on top of eachother since they are very soft. To my experience, the paper makes all the difference though, so don't give up on them yet until you've tried them on pastelmat paper by ClaireFontaine😉 I've never tried water with my pastel pencils, so on that I cannot really give a good answer, though I've seen other artist try it. It really is a jungle to find the best supplies that suit you! 😅 I would recommend starting with the first building block, which is the paper.. so really give pastelmat a try, it's expensive but very much worth it!😋 Most importantly, have fun experimenting!🧡
@@TinaBaeyensArt thank you so much Tina for great advise. Do I understand you right to use Caran d ache Luminance colored pencils on a Clairfointane pastelmat paper ? If so, mark my words, mine are not pastel pencils and they are not soft at all, I am going to try it ! I am starting to have a negative opinion on the Caran d Ache brand (I should have bought the pastel pencils set). This Brand is overrated and to expensive. Tina, it is pure joy for me to watch your channel.
@@helgaleifsdottir5191 Hi Helga, that's really great to hear, thank you so much!🥰 As for your question, I'm sorry but I must have misread the first comment! I thought you bought the caran d ache pastel pencils😅 which are great, don't get me wrong, but not my favorite at all since I share your opinion that they're very overpriced. For the luminance colored pencils, I wouldn't try them on pastelmat, since the paper will eat away your (very expensive) pencils in no-time! I'm sorry I misread the first time. If you want to try pastel pencils, my go-to brands are the stabilo carbothellos and the faber castell Pitt pastel pencils. And ofcourse, the pastelmat paper. But I would not recommend using regular colored pencils on the pastelmat paper, you can (I've seen artists create beautiful stuff with them on this paper), but it will eat away A LOT of your pencils.. Hope this helps!🧡
I just found your channel, and I think your videos are excellent. I subscribe to several art channels, and I think the format of your videos is among the best I've seen. I like the way you present the information in a short but thorough manner, and your graphics are helpful. I hope your channel continues to grow and I wish you all the best. If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?
To start : thank you so so much Michele!☺ You've just completely made my week with this comment!😁 I do put quite some time and effort into making these videos so it is really nice when someone appreciates it! I'm from Belgium, a (VERY) small country in Europe🇧🇪
