Here is a list of Caran d ache rich pastel pencils colours I use: numbers...
Primary colours...

Blue... 788- 145
Orange 788-052

Green 788-719
Rich colours I sometime use for the bright areas in the skin tones...
788- 541, 542, 871, 581.
Carbothello pencils are... green 1400/585, red... 305, orange, 221, lemon yellow 205, yellow ochre 685 and white 100. I don't use this brand's blues as the lightfastness is very poor. so I use Conti a Paris ones for them,... No10, No 06, No 22 and No46. Also the purple red for the deep shadows ... No19
If you can afford it I would recommend buying the sets as the extra colours would be very useful for clothes and backgrounds and can work out cheaper per pencil... affiliate links below.

Hi there... would you like to know more... here is another video I produced just about hair, with some real time footage. Check it out here - ruclips.net/video/AdZ2jHdQ6do/видео.html
It's fascinating seeing how you mix colours that I would never think in doing.
I like to keeps thing nice and easy, I personally feel that colour work is more fun and spontaneous that way. 🙏😊

Thanks Jekateriana 😊🙏
Fantastiic, easy to follow video, Dave. Love your accent too. After 50 years in New Zealand I still have my Yorkshire( Leeds) accent.
😊
Hi Phyll My mother was Yorkshire, Father Nottinghamshire so I have a mix of the too. Love the warm pure Yorkshire accent. New Zealand sounds amazing... they have the same climate I believe. Thanks for watching... all the very best. 🙏
I love your work it's so amazing, it's help me a lots. Thank you so much.
Really appreciate your lovely words Ayse. . Thrilled you love my work and find the pointers helpful... means a lot to me. Thanks for watching 💕🙏
Unbelievably good.

What a brilliant tutorial, loved the bit of philosophy at the end as well - how right you are about relaxing and just letting it happen...
Thank you Marta, I have always been interested in how the effect us all. Connecting to the heart means everything to me. Thanks for watching very much appreciated 🙂🙏
I am new to pastels and was wondering how to do portraits. Your videos are very helpful and appreciated. You make it look so easy.
Thanks for watching Deana... appreciated 🙏
Fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍💯👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 😊🙏
Waoo!
Thank u 🙏
So cool amazing ❤️✨
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Hi there, I am subscriber of your art work which is so amazing and informative which is very helpful when you are learning. I have been doing some portraits of my daughter in law's nephew and niece but I would only do the girl if she had a hat on as her hair is blonde, seeing the way you have shown us and the colours used I feel that now I am willing to give it try as you have inspired me. Thank you so very much for the tutorials.
Hi Margaret... you are very welcome... thrilled that this video has inspired you to give the blonde hair a go... All the very best with your portraiture. 🙏
Beautiful hair tutorial. So in-depth and at a speed I could really see what you are doing. I really loved your explanation of background choice and your thoughts throughout. Your voice has a calmness, matching your words that inspires calmness in me. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a wonderful feedback... really grateful. Thrilled that you find value in it Paula. 💕🙏
Your portraits breath taking Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much... my pleasure 😀
First 🌹🌹💕💕
Amazing as always sir
Cheers! Appreciated 😊🙏
Dave your portraits are very realistic!
Thank you so much Moises! appreciated 😊🙏
beautiful work fella
Cheers Spencer!
Love to watch your videos. So instructive! You make it look so easy but it certainly isn’t.
Hi Cherry... Thank you so much for watching my content... means a great deal to me. It is only practise... I still come accross challenges ... what I say to myself is ... there is never ever any problems only solutions... this saying keeps me positive 😊🙏
I cannot draw hair. I will still try but I get very frustrated. I will get there one day 😏 thank you for showing and sharing your tips and tricks. Really appreciate it. ☺️
My tip would be to see it first has blocks of shapes and tones... forget about the details they will appear in the later stages. Best not to label things too. Just see hair as light and shade... as thinking can tend to add fear. It will develop in time for sure. 🙏🙏
omlife that's amazing
Thank you so much 🙏
Great video... love your in-depth tutorials... amazing work thanks for sharing...👌👍
Thabk you so much!... my pleasure 😊🙏
What a beautiful piece of work. I can't wait to see how you do the lace top. I love your work by the way. Keep them coming and a thumbs up to you.
Thank you so much for your kind support Paula... clothes are really fascinating to draw/paint... editing the video for next Monday so be sure to hit the notification bell, so you will know when it is uploaded. 😊🙏
Subscribed and waiting for the notification already. Thank you 👍
it's looking great Dave 👌
Cheers matey... did you see the glimpse of the finished portrait at the end? 👍
@@DavePortersArt I did, the glimpse of the lace dress, lots of detail in that 👍
You will never know how much you have helped my art you are an amazing artist and a wonderful teacher thank you 😊
Thank you so much for letting me know this Sandra... it makes creating all the video so worth while. So thrilled that you are getting value from them. 😊🙏
Fantastic work Thank you
Thank you so much Bertie! 🙏🙏
Thank you Dave. Love following your videos.
Glad you like them Jeni! appreciated :-)
I love watching you work. The level of realism you achieve is astounding. I could watch this for hours.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback... I am so thrilled that you enjoy watching the videos so much! Cheers! 😊🙏
Absolutely gorgeous. You explain every detail so well. I plan to paint a portrait of my sweet son in law when he was a little boy. His hair was about the same color as your beautiful niece. It was also very curly. He passed away a few years ago and I know that my daughter would love to have me complete this. Your tutorials will be a great help.
Hi Janine... sorry for your loss 🙏 I am pleased that the video will give you some pointers to accomplish your very special project... wishing you all the very best with the portrait. Take care 🙏🙏
Beautiful tutorial Dave , you always inspire me with your calm approach ,thank you .
You are very welcome Jill, thanks for the kind feedback, appreciated :-)
Wow! Thank you so much! And I love your calming words and inspiration 🎀💗
You are so welcome! thank you for the wonderful words 🙏😊
Excellent drawing as usual Dave. Thanks for the video.
(I need to watch it again on my tablet, which has a bigger screen.)
Hi Jay... Thank you! My pleasure love to share and make these videos... on a tv looks fine also. 👍
Absolutely stunning work, really easy to follow you Dave 🙏💕x
Cheers Rose! 💕🙏xx
You are a wonderful artist sir...... I'm going to be trying pastel colours very soon.....I've been working on pencil works.....I love pastel colours and oils.....but I'm scared of water colours 😀....but I'll try pastel colours soon.....thanku so much sir.
Hi there... Thank you so much! Great idea to practice with different mediums... the trick with watercolour is to buy paper that lets you lift off colour so to change things easy. All the best! 🙏🙏
Great videos. Been doing mostly pet portraits and wildlife pastel paintings and need to do an adorable little girl. Will be signing up on Patreon at the first of the month to watch all these amazing portraits in real time I'm surprised you don't rub the pastel in before layering on top to get the smooth look. I only work on pastelmat so looking forward to watching seeing how to get the smoothness without rubbing the layers in.
Thank you Karen... Portraits are fascinating to create, Look forward to welcoming you to My Patreon soon. 🙏😊
This is so wonderful. Thank you so much. You are a true artist.
Thank you so much Barbara! Appreciate the kind words 😊🙏
Such a beautiful portrait, so realistic.💖
Thank you so much Lynne! 😊🙏
Very informative video. And beautiful portrait. Do you blend the background at all on the pastelmat. ?..
Hi Judith, I tend to use my finger to blend the background. 😊
OMG it's absolutely splendid! what a joy to discover your channel, that's all I love! thank you very much for showing us your wonderful work. how many years to achieve a result as perfect as a photo ??? I love this ! to the pleasure for the continuation! (I am French, I use a translator) hello from Versailles near Paris .........
Bonjour Donana, Merci d'avoir pris le temps de commenter ... très apprécié. Je suis ravi que vous appréciez mes vidéos ... signifie le monde pour moi. (cela a été écrit sur le traducteur google) J'ai 58 ans et j'ai commencé à dessiner à 13 ans. Chaque jour j'apprends quelque chose de nouveau ... l'art est si merveilleux que je ne m'ennuie jamais :-) Attention :-) Hello from Nottinghamshire Uk
@@DavePortersArt thank you Dave for your answer, I am delighted .....
@@DavePortersArt hello Dave oh... you are in England? did you ever come to France ? Did you learn to draw on your own or did you take fine arts lessons? (with translator) have a good day, be well ....
@@cbsugar Salut Donana, oui c'est exact ... Je vis dans le pays de Robin Hood, dans le Nottinghamshire. J'ai visité le sud de la France dans la vingtaine ... beau pays. J'ai principalement étudié les livres au fil des ans et expérimenté pour développer mon propre style. Prends soin de toi ... tout le meilleur. :-)
@@DavePortersArt Robin hood, haha, thanks Dave, with pleasure to seeing more videos again and again....
Szép munka!
köszönöm
Thank you for another great video, Dave! May I ask, how long do you usually spend on a portrait like this? Do you sometimes use soft pastel sticks as well?
If you add all the time in video up its comes to around 20 hours plus I reckon. 🙏🙏
@@DavePortersArt Definitely worth the time and effort! 🌸
Fantastic. How can I find the brand and list of crayons you use. Thanks
Thank you Antoia! You will find the list in the description below the video. Cheers! 😊🙏
Do you use any fixative at all your pencil seems to glide across, I seem to struggle with that.
I dont use fixative... Pastelmat grabs the pigment so well it is fine without it. I have found in the past fixing causes dullness so I don't fix for that reason mainly. My pencils seem to glide because I have only covered the tooth of the Pastelmat slightly... a little tooth helps. Adding too much pigment down first could make it difficult to achieve a flowing line. Take care... thanks for the support Lynne! 🙏🙏
@@DavePortersArt I’m slowly learning to be more light handed lol instead of barging ahead to fast must make my next mantra “go lightly” ha ha.
I wish you could teach us how to open our hearts etc.... I started a portrait of my mother a view weeks ago....but I don't have the peace of mind to continue with it .... what can I do about that...how to let go my stress and how can I get rid of this anxiety, how can I enjoy drawing again? Hope you have a good advise what to do about it. Thanks so far 🙏
Hi Julia... I would start a little at a time to start with. Love is the key factor to change anything. Keep having loads of breaks... also don't be hard on yourself.If you have some music that you love to hear I would play that softly in the background. The issue with stress and anxiousness is that the mind somehow feels alive and enjoys the attention... so don't suppress the thoughts accept that they are there and somehow surround them with your love by being aware of them. Give yourself a virtual hug. Don't surpress the thoughts, don't let them take you over but somewhere in the middle just space them out. They should just fade away. Take care ...hope that these pointers work for you 😊🙏
@@DavePortersArt thank you so much🙏 I wil give it a try
È un grande artista e vedere i suoi video è veramente di grande stimolo per chi vuole imparare.. Volevo chiederle se fa corsi online. Grazie
Ciao grazie mille ... I corsi on line sono qualcosa che approfondirò in futuro. Sono su Patreon ora dove puoi vedere video più lunghi e video passo dopo passo in tempo reale. Link nella descrizione
Hy Dave, What background can I make by white/grey hairs? (And Dark brown eyes)
Hi Julia... grey hairs have loads of cold colours in them. Blues, purples etc. So an orange/yellowish background would bring out the hair... it all depends what you want to emphasize. A pastel yellow greenish background could bring the face out too. If you have a computer program like Photoshop... sometimes I would try different colour on the background of the reference image first and see what looks best before piling on the pastels.. Hope that helps. 🙏🙏
@@DavePortersArt oh of course what a great tip. I use Procreate and Photoshop Elements. Never done this but I am goining to try this too. Thanks Dave 🙏😊
@@juul7737 I use Photoshop Elements too :-) Try a land scape of a scene your mum loved and that would add a story to the portrait. Glad the tip is helpful Julia. :-)
If you use white pastelmat?
I prefer to use to dk grey... it helps to see the values more 😊🙏
Can you tell me how many hours did it take to complete this picture ?
I don't really time watch tbh... it takes as long as it takes. That way I don't rush them... time can be a poison which can cripple us with fear. 🙏
I really struggle with fine hairs, i can't get them to be thin, they are thick and grainy :(
I do use Faber Castell Pitt pastel pencils, so maybe i need a softer pastel pencil....
Hello Annaleise, the surface you are working on... is it a sanded surface... I would recommend Pastelmatt. Makes all the difference 🙏
Wow, are you self taught? Do you have tuition lessons where you can attend?
Hi Sheils thank you... mainly self taught... I've developed this technique by adapting my oil painting knowledge to pastels. I have Patreon up and running at the moment... link in the description. ☺🙏
Buenas y bien trabajo, yo quería saber de que lápices.
Grazie
instinctive artwork,personally i find fave music works i tend to concentrate on the music and the art takes care of its self, only downside is i become so wrapped up in the music i lose hours and hours
Hi Spencer... I used to do the exact thing when I was younger, album after album, loved every minute. As I have got older, it seems that silence is golden whilst I paint now. I just go with it, still love to listen to music in my free time still. :-)
How do I find description below?
Hi Jànice...if viewing on a mobile device... There is a v icon under the video click on that and it will open up.
@@DavePortersArt thank you
