Thank you so much for providing this video in real time (and giving us, the viewers, the option to speed up the video if we like). Also, thank you for taking the time to create a helpful and engaging voiceover instead of adding music like 99% of the art videos out there. I’m not against the music with videos at high speed, but I usually don’t find them helpful or engaging. I got so much out of this video by being able to watch, and hearing you explain, what your doing. 💛
Thank you!
How lovely and a timely coincidence???? Just come back from a visit to an owl rescue/sanctuary, have the photos and will definitely be trying out some mixed media pieces to honour the beautiful creatures I met there. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous piece with us
This inspires me to get back to my art goal of persevering past the 'ugly phase' with a piece! 😁 I think I'll go back through my sketch books and see what I can finesse. 😊
Barn Owls are funny because they look like chunky birds but they're actually really light, mostly feather and look comically skinny after a bath! 🤣 I used to volunteer with a raptor conservation charity here and we'd do a lot of outreach work so I handled quite a few captive bred owls that we took to educational days, etc. They're one of my favourite birds. 😊
Neocolor I with colored pencils?! Mind blown 🤯 Thank you so much for showing off this combination!!
I know, right?!?
I love when you said, “the best art supplies to use, are the ones you already have,” that’s certainly true, and something I know I need to hear more often! Most artists probably have the same affliction, the constant seeking out new and more art supplies, and sometimes, for me anyway, the struggle is real when realizing, I have more than I need on hand and can produce infinite pieces with what’s already in my stash. And yet after watching your video, I still feel the need to go ahead and price out those Neocolor 1s… (I don’t have those, and they look fun! 🤔)
I absolutely love the way you drew this owl, Lindsay. It's so so so pretty. As always your creation is mesmerising to see how it comes to life. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting 😊😊😊
Lindsay this is wonderful!! I should never have thought to combine those mediums together like that - it's brilliant! Thank you for sharing not only your experience with the mediums, but your joy in the play too! ❤️👏🏻❤️
My pleasure!
Thank you for the instruction step by step. This is a beautiful piece of art. Love watching your videos Lindsay! You are so inspiring.
Thanks!
Amazing barn owl, Lindsay! He's gorgeous. I love him. Your art is flawless! Tfs.
This sweetie has really evolved ! Your so talented so amazing Lindsay it’s great 😊❣️🥰
so interesting watching this and i love how your owl came out Lindsay
Wow! I cannot believe how many layers of medium you were able to lay down on that paper....I need to try that paper....Thanks for showing us another way to use the supplies that we may have.
I am really pleasantly surprised by this paper!
I love your owl painting, it is so beautiful! You are one phenomenal artist.
Thank you!
What a great idea, I would never have thought to use coloured pencil with Neocolor! They would be great for life drawing if I wasn’t too much of a wimp to go to life drawing class! 😂
You should try it! I love joining a life drawing group anytime one is offered!
Derwent drawing is one of my favs
Another impressive piece!! Love it!!
I drew along with this video for the first time, and I was not mad with my end result. Love your videos and as usual this was great. Always learn something.
Thanks Linsay. This is great!
Beautiful. I love your mixed media projects!
Wow! This is gorgeous! You make things look so easy
That turned out so nice! Lovely❤❤
Awesome Lindsay
Gorgeous Lindsay, thankyou for sharing x
Wonderful art Lindsay!
Thanks Lindsay. I love pro cheat tips! Your owls are awesome. 💜
I love watching this paintings progress...beautiful! Thank you for sharing and much love ❤️
Yay, mixed media! I love paintings like this!
Thanks!
It came out beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!
Watching you draw is so fascinating. I love watching! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world
I like your point about working the whole piece at once. This is gorgeous!
Thanks!
I love this piece!! So many textures and soft colors peeping through the layers. Absolutely beautiful. Owls are a favorite of mine to draw. You have inspired me to try to use my colored pencils over my pastels.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Really clever combination of materials.
Thanks!
Beautiful job Lindsay, very unique technique 😁‼️
Thanks!
Very cute owl! They are like flying cats.
I love this supply combo, it's definitely one of my favorites. And I also like to work all over the picture, rather than fully finishing each area bit by bit. I have tried doing it like that, and it really does not agree with the way I like to work because it makes everything feel so final right from the start.
I really loved this
Thanks!
This owl is amazing so gifted
Thanks!
This is so beautiful 🤩. Thank you for all the tips and tricks, this was so informative and fun to watch.
Thank you!
Just got around to watching this. So well-done!
He is so cute!
I love owls! This turned out great. It looked like a fun mixed media piece. Have a great day Lindsay, thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Another inspiring piece! You show us so many ways to use our art materials, thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Oh! He’s so beautiful! It looks like so much fun using the neocolor l’s ! Then you got such great detail with the Derwent Drawing pencils! I just love the whole piece! 💜💜💜
Thank you!
Beautiful. Watching you gives me the confidence to give it a try.
I'm so glad!
Wonderful painting, Lindsay! I have really expanded my artwork these past few months thanks to your videos using the different media. Especially the crayons and pencils. Thank you so much for sharing your skills. ❤
Thanks so much Dawn!
Fantastic Lindsay!!! I enjoyed every minute - so much valuable information and such a beautiful outcome 💛
Thank you!
I love owls, awesome art presentation ❤️
Thank you!
I love this project!
Thanks!
Lindsay this is absolutely gorgeous! As usual, I LOVE your animals! And thanks for using another supply that a lot of us have (neocolor 1's), but don't know what to do with! Very inspiring ❤️💕
It's a tricky supply for sure!
This was absolutely beautiful, I loved watching your process. You are such an amazing artist. ❣️❤️🇺🇸 Love from Cathey in Texas
Thanks!
From Susan. Thank you, Lindsay! This is a truly beautiful art piece. You are so talented and I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!
Love how those crayons and pencils created such texture and detail on top of the watercolors. Great instruction and tips! Thank you for sharing your passion and talent Lindsay! 💜💜💜
My pleasure!
I love how this turned out. I’m pretty sure I have this owl saved in my pet portrait collection on Unsplash, maybe it’s time to tackle it. Thanks for the tutorial!
Great!
Fabulous video! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just got my Canson XL sanded paper from Blick today. Had to snag some at such a great price. I wasn't sure about this piece when I first saw it but it turned out fantastic! Thanks for sharing as always. You're always such an inspiration.
Never doubt the process 😆
Im so amazed how you start off and how it comes to life and turns out!! I feel like, when I used to draw and color in my art projects, I messed it up and ended up just leaving it looking unfinished. I know if you don’t keep practicing you don’t get better. My arthritis don’t help me in my art but it is relaxing at times and still do it just not as much as I would like to. I do small art projects though.
Oh Lindsay, you are rarely to never boring!! I love how it looked like you were doing the owls makeup when you went in with the pencils. It's beautiful 💚🧡
Thanks!
This is so beautiful! You are so talented! 💖 Your step by step instructions and all of the details about what you are trying to accomplish is so helpful! I love the way you explain what you are doing. I'm not an artist like you, and I've never drawn my own images, but I've learned a lot from watching you. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
My pleasure!
You are such a great artist teacher. Enjoyed this picture
Thanks!
I can’t believe the amount of depth you achieved in the bird’s feathers. What a beautiful piece!🥰
Thanks Brenda!
I love your videos and I did get the special Cotman watercolor set ,this is the best for me as im camping all summer ,and it's my first set of paints all the colors I needed,it was a quick post on you tube ty for showing that set only 23.00
Enjoy! That sounds like a fun summer!
Lindsay, the painting is so wonderful. Loved learning how to mix different supplies and how to bring out those undertones which makes the picture so interesting. I think there is a “training of the eye” to be able to identify the undertones which I am not yet seeing the same way you do. Going to keep working on it because it is one of the reasons why I love your paintings. Thanks for another excellent lesson.
Thanks!
Your so smart and talented! And pretty as well. Beautiful work as usual!!!! 🌹❣️🦉
Aww, thank you:)
I’m determined to make the algorithm like this one! I can’t wait to take some time to sit down and follow along and give it a go! ❤
I appreciate it!
I’m so glad you showed that a watercolor background works on this paper. I was wondering about that. I have a small set of Derwent drawing pencils that I haven’t used yet. I think I’ll try using them with my watercolor crayons.
Enjoy!
Wow❤
Such a cute owl. I got some cheap paper at Michaels, maybe a Strathmore...that warped really bad. I got up the next morning and it was perfectly flat. Crazy. It's been great for practice. I got a watercolor journal book and practice something every evening and feel proud of my progress.
Awesome!
Lindsay this is absolutely beautiful.I love watching you paint,draw etc and over the years I have recommended so many people to your Chanel because of the way you explain things so well and it really helps.You are a great artist and unlike many others who just show them painting you explain the reason you do this why you do that and how to.In my eyes your a star.Sadly I don’t work as often as I should.Lack of confidence and pain.But you do inspire so many young artists I am sure.And the best part is you can do just about any medium as well as draw anything.So that make you a great artist .No set style ,not just drawing one thing..Keep up the great work.Love n Light 🥰
Thank you!
I am so glad you told people about Neo 1. These are the most under appreciated art supply in our coloring world!. I just bought them and my ONLY complaint is there are not MORE. Maybe if we all get them and demand more Caran D'ache will make a bigger set. I bought them exactly for the reason you stated, I wanted something like Prisma Art Stix. I was late to the party and did not get in on them before they were discontinued and felt there had to be something on the market as good if not better...they exceeded all my expectations, and I don't understand why they are not more popular in our community.
I think they used to offer more colors in the past.
Well owl be! Sweet
Wow!! I bought some Canson XL sand grain mixed media paper at Blicks. I think I'm in love. And it was relatively inexpensive. Works great with colored pencils and Neocolors. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!
I like it too!
…knife…
MOOOOM! Lindsay says I can play with knives! ROFL 🤣🤣🤣
😆 I take NO responsibly!
I love owls! If I could own one I would...but I guess a original painting will have to do. Not all owls are really big, but the big ones are the coolest. Here in the pacific northwest we have the notorious spotted owl. They caused a huge bruhaha in the late 80's early 90's because they were declared to be protected. I was new up here then and of course pictured a giant bird of prey. I grew up on the coast of southern California, what did I know of owls? The spotted owl, protected bird of prey or public enemy number one, depending which side of the isle you were on is only about eight inches tall. The cutest little owl you ever did see.
Aww, we had a whole family if bard owls here last years and the littles were so cute (and they were very loud!)
Pastels were my very first art supply, so they also make me feel like a little kid again, I missed your voice :) will need to catch up on Sat chats
Happy Earth Day Lindsay
Aww, thank you!
Wow, Lindsay! I had heard several RUclipsrs advise against the Neo 1’s while recommending the ii’s so I just forgot about them. I certainly didn’t know that pencils could be used with them. Since I’ve already had my eye on the Derwent Drawing pencils, I think I might give the Neo 1’s a try, too. Love your owl, btw.
Thanks!
I bought some of the sand grain but don't actually love it for soft pastel. You maverick you for using it with watercolor... I'ma have to try that! That Maimeri palette is so odd, but I think it was meant for portraits and somehow that didn't make it into the marketing. From that standpoint, the colors make sense.
I was supposed to go to Blick’s today but didn’t feel like going because it was raining. Now I’m glad I didn’t because I can add the touch up texture and titanium white to my shopping list.
It's an amazing product!
Hey Lindsay! Love this! ❤️ I’ve really gotta try this owl. I do have a pack of the old Prismacolor color sticks that I’ve never used. I keep thinking I’ll sell them….and then never do. I have a good set of Neocolor 2 and think I’ll get some Neocolor 1. But I keep hearing good things about Nu Pastels too. So many great art products to choose from. 😮👍🙂
If you decide to sell your prismacolor artstick you could get a pretty penny for them!
@@thefrugalcrafter yep, I should probably give that some more thought. 👍
I bet a little sprinkle of Brusho would be awesome in the background. I'm on the brink of ordering some.
Great idea!
Thanks for the great demo and inspiration! Regarding sharpening: you could sharpen like colors into separate containers and when you have enough shavings you could mold them into new crayons!
Good idea
FYI - I went to order the Brush & Pencil items from Jerry's (slightly cheaper than Blick); one of them has the hazardous symbol (I think it is the Touch Up Texture), so if you don't order $75 and get the free shipping rate, you have to pay UPS rate for shipping "hazardous" materials -- $21.99 for 3 items with a product total of $37. The flat $9.99 rate doesn't apply to hazardous symbol items. DEEP SIGH. I guess I will go to Blick over the weekend. I am lucky enough to have a store in the ATL area.
LOVED this art.
Liquids are tricky. I keep a list of stuff I need (or want) and order when I have enough for free shipping
I LOVE THIS !!!! I HAVE BOTH OF THESE SETS AND MOVED AND HAVEN'T USED YET. LEE HAMMONDS BOOK AMAZING CRAYON DRAWINGS WERE DONE IN CRAYOLA AND I FIGURED THE NEOCOLOR 1 WOULD BE BETTER THERE LIKE A CADILAC OF CRAYONS SO SMOOTH. LINDSAY THIS IS SO NICE !!!! I READ YOU COULD USE GAMSOL WITH THESE NEVER TRIED. I ALSO HAVE THE PRISMACOLOR 48 ART STIXS NEW IN BOX . I HOARED ART SUPPLIES FOR MY NEW HOUSE , SO FAR STILL IN BOX . THIS MAKES ME WANT TO PLAY WITH THEM. THANK YOU
I have and love that book, too, and was also thinking I could try the NeoColor 1 as a replacement for the Crayola crayons.
At one point, when you drew round the eyes I got strong sloth vibes ;0)
Thanks for sharing your techniques as you go
I know just where you mean!
You should add a frame
I had the Marabu crayons in my Amazon cart and my wife substituted the KingArt Wax crayons, they look just like the Marabu twisting crayons and so far I cannot tell the difference! they use the same pigments but maybe more filler to extend the sticks? They do save my more expensive Neocolor II's when I am just practicing and trying to keep my eye hand coordination from disappearing! I am glad you spent the time to bring this to the rest of your viewers! I did order a couple of the sand pads from Canson how can you resist at just $5! OK $5.67 that is only 14 cents a sheet! Crazy cheap! I like it so far just need to be brave and try the soft pastels now, Maybe I will post something if I do. Thanks for sharing your owl with us all!
I glad you got some. It's acid free and has no optical brightness so you should have no qualms selling work on it. I don't see Any difference between the marabou art crayon and any of the gel crayons I have used from craft to kids brands. I think it is the same product at vastly different price points. The craft industry has been famous for charging artist grade prices for white labeled kids products. When you think about what you get for the price the neocolor crayons aren't bad.
Hi Lindsay! Another beautiful creation! Since the Neocolor I are soluble with odorless mineral spirits, do you think you could save the shavings in a palette and use them with a brush like the Neocolor II?
I'm gonna try it if I ever want to sharpen them.
Great informative video. Thank you. I love my neocolor 2 pastels. Would they work as a base for polychromos? I have arthritis in my hands and therefore find the process of colored pencils too difficult but I really love the results. Perhaps this would shorten the time
It should. You may need to add water to the neo 2 to blend them and bring back some tooth for the polys. I'd do some tests on a scrap of the paper you plan to use before you start just to check.
Thank you Lindsay! I’ve been waiting for the slice tool review…you’ve saved me some$$$, I’ll stick to my regular blade. Can you comment on the odor level of the touch up texture/ titanium white product. I always appreciate your comments since many of us have respiratory issues.
No smell at all and I can wash the dry mixture out of the pan with water. The fixative are also water based as I can soak a clogged nozzle in water and its good as new. I have no idea what it's made from as it has no smell. It works great and lasts a very long time so I'm not complaining 😆
This was thrilling to watch, Lindsay! So much so, I bought your class to learn more. Can't wait to create these gorgeous, exciting pieces too! QUESTION: I was gifted "Himi Silky Crayons," and have NO idea if they'd translate well into the owl painting. Ever hear of them? Thanks SO much!

Give them a try and see! You might need to add water to get pencil to stick on top. Try both ways and have fun:)
Hi Lindsay, your owl is beautiful! I am ordering the Neocolor 1’s and the paper today. I do have Dr PH Martins Bleedproof white, do you think that would be ok rather than the titanium white and texture? Thanks
Sure. It might flake off if you try and for over it but if you are gentle with it you are probably fine.
have it in hd quality no problems if it does feel dark on the eyes try movingup the brightness of the screen a bit. Im as blind as a weasle in night times so I have a dark background and white letters. But there are several options in you pc settings to ajust value and brightness if you experience a wobbely or to dark setting in youtube.
I enjoyed watching this one so much. Would Prismacolor premier pencils work in place of the Derwent drawing set or are they too soft? My daughter who's name is also Lindsay, absolutely loves owls. I think I will try this with what I have. Hopefully it will turn out well enough to give to her for Mother's Day. Thanks for sharing. You are so inspiring, I've been watching you for years.
They should work fine. Maybe pull out the muted earthy tones and DIY yourself a drawing set!
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you! I have the full set of Neocolor ii. I may just go ahead and buy the 40 set of Neocolor i and the Derwent drawing set of 24. I've been eyeing the drawing set for a few weeks. I love muted tones. Decisions, decisions. LOL!
Hi Lindsey! Do you think I can use the Jane Davenport crayons? Not the water soluble ones the ones that are more waxed base like a crayon but to the 10th power?
Give them a try. I don't see why not.
What’s the difference between Neocolor I and Neocolor II? I have the octagon shaped Crayola Colored Pencil Sticks ( not to be confused with the twistable stix). They are woodless colored pencils and come in a 12 or 24 set . The lay down is different than their colored pencils. Softer and more vibrant. Great for backgrounds.
Neocolor2 are watersoluble but neocolor 1 resists water. Your crayola colored pencil sticks would be like neocolor 1.
Lindsay what tape do you suggest an artist use to tape down the paper? That wont pull the paper away
Dollar tree masking tape
Manley has some nice wax crayons but I think they are softer than my Neocolor 1 crayons. Have you experimented with plastic crayons? I was recently happy to discover they are great for resist work.
No I haven't heard of them. I'll look them up. Are they like oil pastels?
@@thefrugalcrafter I passed on plastic crayons for a long time because I thought they were just a neater variation of regular crayons. I have found they are better layered like color pencils. They have nearly zero buildup but still resist wet media. I sprang for the Kupi/Coupy set but have found the Deli to be just as good. I even think Bic and Kupi are the same item repackaged. The bottom line is that they color beautifully. I use them underneath and on top of watercolor and gouache.
@@eBookHoarder thanks for the info!
How do you sharpen your drawing pencils from Derwent. I have. Hard time sharpening them.
I use an electric sharpener by Jarlink. Make sure it will take pencils up to 8mm
Hi Lindsay what colour pencil do you think is soft enough to lay on top of oil pastel for detailing? Perhaps an international brand I could find in India?
Prismacolor
Hi there hope you are well. I need a question off the topic. You did a show on these poppies and you used a clear stamp. Did you design the poppies and if you did, did you make the stamp? If so can I make my own designs and make a stamp for it? Is this possible? Sorry for butting in but the show was done 7 yrs ago so I didnt know if you check then
You can look at the materials list and see the company and look up their angel policy to see their commercial use policy.
Thank you so much Your owl is so pure and looks so real.
👍✌️🙏❤️
I have some of those twistable Crayolas and I don't care for them. Just my input.
