On the layering issue: I've made a panpastel + color pencil realistic and fine-detailed portrait not too long ago. I used the color pencil only on areas of fine detail, like the eyes, with a minimum base layer of panpastel, and the skintones I layered with panpastel. If you combine them like that, it works really well! Also, I used pastelmat, which surely helped a lot too. Thanks for the video!
Another good technique for soft pastels is to use water as if they were watercolors in the base layers, they'll melt down and allow more layers on top with soft pastel or other mediums. It's an interesting technique that I learned from Monet Cafe here in youtube.
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArtAs long as the binder isn't water resistant i believe it will work regardless of brand. I've used it with soft pastel sticks and it worked without issues. Pan pastel would be an interesting experiment to do 👀✨
I have done a few oil paintings, I actually prefer to paint on a flat surface so you can definitely do that It's just harder if the canvas is large, and you have to avoid light reflections etc
I bought Pitt Pastel Pencils and PastelMat and have been nervous to do a full drawing on the mat. This video inspired me to draw some blueberries. I used the FC Pitt Pastels and FC Polychromos.
Kirsty Rebecca Fine Art Thank you. I love watching your videos and the variety of media, materials, and subjects that you share. You definitely inspire me to explore new medias.
The information in this video is accurate. I find that color pencil over pan pastel works well on Uart 600 grit. Then there’s plenty of tooth left for the color pencil to work well. 😀 I get mine at Dick Blick in the USA.
I thought it might! I'm hesitant to use Uart or Fisher because the backing they use on the paper isn't actually acid free (meaning it could potentially make your artwork yellow over time) Also, it's very difficult for me to get in Australia anyway haha
Yes, I found that happened on this Pastelmat paper with this combination... but this video is a little older, and since then, I have discovered the Luxarchival Sanded Paper which works beautifully with Pan Pastels and Coloured Pencil! This is a more recent tutorial to show you what I mean 😊 ruclips.net/video/AQZHGGUfRAs/видео.html
I meet you today in YT, and already I turned the Abo button on. Your paintings are grandios. Thanks a lot for sharing. I just started with pastels. Could you make a tutorial how to bring the pastels on the wall? How to frame? Firstly I tried to paint directly on canvas, just I did it with acryl. But of course it failed. I saw some complicated videos to frame pastels. Maybe you have a better method with Clairefontaine to bring it onto the wall. I will buy Claire Fontaine paper next, as you suggested. Thank you very much. You make my day happy.
Thankyou so much 😊 The way I frame mine is very simple! I do it the same way as a watercolour, graphite or charcoal drawing It's a frame with glass, with a matting border around the artwork (so the artwork doesn't touch the glass) You can buy them from a lot of places reay-made! Like this fineartamerica.com/featured/in-the-snow-kirsty-rebecca.html?product=framed-print
You can use soft pastel sticks, but it is a lot harder and much more unpredictable You have to apply the sticks very lightly and make sure you really blend the pastel well (so it pushes the pigment into the paper) The problem with sticks is that you can't really control how much pastel you're laying down so it can fill up the tooth of the paper too quickly if you're not careful I know I sound like a walking advertisement for Pan Pastel but they're actually not that expensive when you compare how much pastel is in each pan Pan Pastels contain 40% more pastel than an average stick and have 4-5 times more coverage. They last a very long time in comparison to sticks You can actually just buy the basic set of 5 colours (red, yellow, blue, black and white) and mix any colour you need, just like paint! That is something you can't do easily with soft pastel sticks (this is why people usually have hundreds of pastel sticks - which is way more expensive than buying 5 Pan Pastels) I've had my set of pan pastels for about 5 years and haven't run out of any colour yet, and I do a lot of artwork , and if you take care of the Sofft tools, they last a long time as well 😊 There are also many other benefits such as not having to touch the pastel (so it's less mess on your hands/artwork/desk etc), less excess dust in the air, as well as being able to control how much pastel you are applying to your surface which means you don't fill up the tooth of the paper too quickly - allowing for the addition of a few layers of pastel pencils/coloured pencils etc if you wish! You can also use the smaller Sofft tools or brushes to apply into smaller areas, which can be hard to to with a soft pastel stick I honestly recommend Pan Pastels over any other type of pastel because they are actually more cost effective (along with all the other benefits mentioned above) 😊

@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt I am just an amateur newbie in the world of art. I'm trying to make a portrait for the girl I like. The only pastel I have available with me, and the only one I can afford, are oil pastels by pentel. My problem is I can't get the finer details right, like retina, eyelashes, and hair. So, as a solution, I thought about using Pentel colored pencil to take care of those details. And the way you discussed the relationship of the two cleared my head. So thanks a lot for that. 😊😊😊
Pan pastels are way too expensive and I don't understand that. I wish they were made in smaller 'pans', and charge accordingly. I have always been very happy with my Mungayo soft pastels. Even the Pan Pastel applicators are way overpriced.

Oh awesome! Maybe I'll try it that way next time 😊
Can you do the same on mixed media paper?
@@petelarsen2654 I haven't tried it, but I think it's worth a try?! Good luck!
@@petelarsen2654... except you won't be able to layer much of the panpastel, so you should keep that in mind.

Interesting! I wonder if all pastels are watersoluble or if it's just some brands?
I haven't tried this with Pan Pastel yet!

Your art is just at another level . Nothing to say it is just amazing .Can you please tell the name of the tool you used
Thank you 😊
Do you mean the tool I used to apply the Pan Pastel? It's a Sofft tool (that's the brand name 😊)
I love the effects soft core pencils over oil pastels and using oil to blend
Those blueberries are insane! So talented!
Thank you 😊
yayyy another video 😆 have u ever tried oil paint. and can we paint without a stand and like on a flat surface
I have done a few oil paintings, I actually prefer to paint on a flat surface so you can definitely do that
It's just harder if the canvas is large, and you have to avoid light reflections etc

Thank you so much!
wow..Amazing tutorial.. very well explained.. your drawing is realistic.. I am so impressed with your drawing..
Thank you 😊
I find that the pencils just dig out the pastel, if you put them over the top. I haven't had much success. Great video. Thanks.

I love❤you Rebecca from Calcutta India 🇮🇳 you are wonderful
shame you can't get the Fisher paper, its very nice, eats your pencils but I like how work looks on it 😃
Maybe one day! 😊
is that rude by saying eat ur pencil and shame ?
no, not rude. just a well known fact what the paper does
@@akshatjain2087 when the paper "eats your pencils" it's a term that artists use very often to describe that your pencils wear down quickly 😊
Great video.I am a new subscriber.
Welcome! 😊
Thanks Kirsty. I agree, I like pastel pencils with pan pastels (-: Marion
how much time it took?
I honestly couldn't tell you, there's a lot of preparation, fixing camera angles, voiceover instruction etc involved on top of the actual drawing
Thank you very much.
