- We all come up against those annoying chips and flaws when working on Clairefontaine Pastelmat. Usually it is when we are hours into a piece. Here I show once again how easy it is to remedy these chips and to get the tooth back in your surface.

Hello Law, I watched your video, and one product we pastelers use to fix problems is transparent gesso. Once dry it's similar to the pastel mat surface and it has grit and would cover the bump with no problems. I use the transparent gesso to fix over-burnished spots and bumps and scratches on the paper. The only thing to be cautious about is the surface will probably allow 2 layers. So for touch-ups it's ideal. Regards.
Thank you. Yes, gesso is great as are Golden grounds. The thing with the Brush & Pencil products is that if you are working on a pure colour pencil piece like this one then those specific products are accepted by the CPSA for pure pencil submissions. This was why I was so hesitant to try anything else first as it automatically can become something else under the rules. Gesso and grounds though I would hope are both surface preps so would not be considered as mixing the media. For personal work though I wouldn't hesitate to try those next
thanks for the hint, looks like it works! nothing worse than finding a paper flaw after hours of work, once i found a line of sizing across the whole sheet of watercolor paper , ruined the painting.
very very handy to know you can do this 🙂
Great tip Also the scrubber brush, where can I pick one up. Thanks
Is this a colored pencil or pastel pencil you're using? And is this horse portrait one of your tutorials? I have never tried black & white on pastel Mat.
Yes. This is my most recent in depth colour pencil tutorial using a single pencil on Pastelmat. Lots of different techniques used and no stress about choosing colours
Is that a special brush you are using/.
It's what I call my scrubber brush. It really helps with creating smoothness on Pastelmat
@@AnimalArtbyLAW Is that a wire brush? Like the Ampersand Scratchbord brush? I was just eyeing that ...
I had a difficult time understanding the mumbling. Mumbling along with the accent was totally garbled. Sorry.
Mumbling? Sorry but I really don't mumble and my accent is just English. Maybe best to avoid watching anything else on my channel. 😮
