Finally! An artist who works from sketches and doesn't just copy reference photos!!
It was hard to tell at some points whether I was watching an artist or a magician...

C'est notre plaisir!

[@simonapalosan3208]

Beautiful demonstration and insight talk.Tony is a such a wonderful person, spontaneous and funny. I am also impressed he is doing the framing and I tried to get the name of the glass he purchases but the sound is distorted right there. Do you know it?

[@ElizabethBattle]

I believe he said ARglass, or anti-reflective glass.

[@Winebibbler]

When you begin the sky, are you using two pastels side by side as the color looks like a light blue and dark blue.

[@galesaunders2521]

What type of sketchbook do you use?And pencils?

[@incognito3620]

Artists and technology….sheeesh!

[@deniseshaw3871]

Are they drawing pins you use or magnets ?

[@debbiewells2851]

What paper is tony using. I didn't catch it?

[@incognito3620]

The pins holding the paper seem to stand away from the surface. I can hitting them with my fingers or palm. He hits them
After on. See tape behind is much better.

Super! 🤩😊🌹🍀

[@pastelsocietyofsoutherncal5491]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lynnlorencz8127]

What is tony”s last name?

[@jameshenderson5385]

All the pstels you mentioned are far too expensive for a novice artist. The prices are so ridiculous only rich people can afford them. No wonder your art is excellent!!!
