Primary colours...
Reds... 788-060, 080

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 some of the lightfastness is 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.

Wonderful tips
Thanks for watching.. thrilled you found the tips useful. 🙏
This is fantastic. I’m learning so much from your tutorials. Please keep them coming
More to come Michelle, so pleased you are finding the videos helpful. Thanks for watching them. 😊🙏
After your tutorial on this video I watched another one of your video about the colour wheel and I was going to watch it again but it disappeared, I just wondered where I could watch it again. Many thanks sky
I see you have join my patreon membership, thank you . Not sure how that appeared on RUclips as this colour wheel video is a Patreon video only. Take care 🙏
My mistake sorry I realised it was a video that I watched on your Patreon and not u tube and I re joined. thank you your work is amazing and hoping to follow in your foot steps as art is what I wanted to do as a young child as but I was put on a different path but going to make up for loss time, I’ve made myself a cosy little art room with lots of supplies, I’ve been drawing for a few years now but want to get as much tips as I can. I find Patreon is actually like being in a class room without walking out of my house, technology is amazing. Ps I don’t get out much lol. With love sky
@@skyabbott3817 Thank you Sky for your kind words. Art is such a wonderful way to connect to our souls... it so healing. Great to have your own cosy sacred space to create in. Technology is amazing... would have loved to have what is available back when I was younger. I'm 61 now and loving sharing what I have uncovered over the years. I don't get out much too lol. I love quiet tbh, and I am very happy in my own skin lol. All the very best with your art journey. 😊🙏
@@DavePortersArt yes I am so connected to my soul when I draw, there is so much healing power in Art it is amazing as we are absorbing many colours into your aura as we draw that is why it feels good when we draw also you just get lost in yourself and time is nowhere to be seen as you are in a different Dimention.
wow
Thank you 🙏
Excellent explanations 😊Thank you
Thank you... you are welcome. Thanks for watching 😊🙏
Luar biasa tutorial anda. Bisakah beritahu merk pensil oil pastel dan kertasnya.
❤❤❤ love your work
Thank you so much! 🙏
Hello Dave, I send you an email but maybe it’s in the spam box. But.. Is it also possible to really work color by color on a face? like Verdaccio?
Hi Juul, Just got to try it out and see what happens, you could do it over grey so cant see why it is not possible. What I have see of the Verdaccio technique, like a little un natural tbh. all the very best. 🙏
Please I want to learn from you sir
Thank you for watching.. you could join me on Patreon for more indepth tutorials. Best wishes 🙂🙏
Sir which papers do you use?
Pastelmat 🙏
David,when you put color to paper I realize that highlights and building up the colors are the main part to show definition`skin tones and shades
But how important is it` when bringing out the contours and definition of the face like the cheek,to apply pencil strokes at certain angels, So the way the stroke or lines of colors go down will help the eyes to follow the contours and define or pick up in this case the bulge of the cheek making us see the effect of what has been achieved rather than a flat cheek
As I see quite often the way artist apply the pencil to paper, I see the angel they shade at almost gives a 3 d effect
Example as the eye ball is a spherical shape then to make it look that shape on a flat piece of paper is it best build up depth , and to put a slight arch in parts to the color shading trying to give almost that bend spherical look ,or like hair to follow the shape by the lines placed down to give the effect to the way the hair is layering,
So is it important to do these angels in shading so the parts we want protruding when face is looking at us straight on to capture and defy the depth
Hi Piece... If you was drawing say black and white on toned paper or sketching, going with the direction really helps.
I feel you can over think things when it comes to colour and this will block your natural flow and instinct. I just let it all happen without analysing things too much. Thinking too much can really kill natural motivation. This is my take on it... not saying I am right... it is just the way it feels to me. All the very best. Thanks for the comment. 🙏
What paper do you use Dave and pastels
❤
Thanks Lucy 😊🙏
👍❤️
😊🙏
This artwork is awe personified, a stunning portrayal of artistic brilliance.
Thank you so much for your very kind words... all the best for the year ahead! 🙏
One can watch your tips over and over and each time you gain additional knowledge of your marvelous techniques! It's like learning a new language!
Wow, thank you John! thrilled you find my technique fascinating. All the very best. 🙏
useful narration; i have noticed that you use the white not just for light and lighter colour but also for building/carving texture along the contour of the particular curve. did i miss something?
Thanks... that sums it up nicely 👍
Eu desenho também,mas sou iniciante .Da desânimo quando vejo seus desenhos kkkk
É tudo uma questão de prática... vai se desenvolver com o tempo. Tudo de bom. 😊🙏
@@DavePortersArt Obrigado

It is a slow growth... It not a race its a marathon... that's what I keep telling myself lol. Thanks for the kind words.. appreciate you watching. 😊🙏
What is the name of the brand of paint pens he uses? This is his drawing and the rest of your drawings. Please reply
Check out the description below each video to find the brand names
Thanks 👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻‼️
You’re welcome 😊🙏
Thank you so much for your informative videos. I love the video of skin blending with referent make of pastel pencils. I live in Canada and can't afford those expensive pencils from Europe. ;-(
Thank you for your kind words... really sorry to hear the brands are not available in Canada. I would suggest using the same colour combo, should work with any brand, it is all about experimenting. All the very best. 🙏
Thank you, Dave, for all your help! I've learned a lot from your tutorial!

Hi there... most of the studies are in Patreon full length and in real-time too. thanks for watching. Check out this link for more details. daveportersart.co.uk/
yeah its a dry version of Zorn Palette
Hi Kenneth... similar... I don't use black in the skin tones like the zorn palette. Burnt Umbre and ultramarine blue then yellow ochre, vermillion and white. I researched some of the old masters oil painting techniques around 40 years ago. Stayed with this simple pallete idea since then. I have developed my Pastel technique using the same principles. Thanks for watching 😊🙏
thank you for sharing sir i also use Soft Pastel❤️🙏🇬🇧🇵🇭
I've just discovered your channel, and I already love you! Your work is amazing, I like your voice and accent. Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, thrilled you found my channel from Argentina, and love my work. All the very best! 😊🙏
@@DavePortersArt all the best for you too! 🥰❤️
I like your way to use pastel pencils ✏. Really fantastic 😊🙏🎆❤
That means a lot to me. thrilled you like my technique. All the very best 🙏
Hi Dave this was very nice work and a good demonstration of your technique.
I’m learned learning quite a bit by listening and watching you work. Of course you know that there are so many colors and even earth tones related to portraiture so your approach to using the primaries is quite effective. I was wondering if you have a tendency to use some of the cooler colors in certain areas of the light side in receding areas and if you use other colors in the portrait besides the ones you mentioned.
Thank you for the kind words Mark, thrilled you are getting value from watching my videos... I do sense the temperature, chroma, value... if some colour is cooler I just add blue and the cold red (Alizarin Crimson) So I tend to keep the colours simple... I studies how some the Old Masters mixed their colours around 30...40 years ago and have stuck with the same colour choice ever since. I use the same colours for water colour and Oil painting. It seems to work across all mediums. All the very best to you. 🙏
Thank you for your answer Dave. It is accurate as well as honest and helps me realize that I’m pretty much on track.
My painting gets muddy😢
Hi Marz, What surface are you working on?
Brilliant
