Which paper type and brand do you lean towards for your colour pencil drawings? Let me know below!
🙃🙂
I use Stonehenge paper by Legion paper. I’ve tried Fabriano paper, but keep coming back to Stonehenge paper. I would be interested to see your review of it x
@@faerie4eva Please, which Coloroued pencil brand, do you use with the Stonehenge paper? Thanks in advance
@@greekveteran2715 I use faber castell polychromos and some caran d'ache luminance
@@faerie4eva Thank you very much!! I use Polychromos, Lyra Rembrandt and Kohinoor Polycolor, drawing landscapes mainly. I just ordered the Fabriano Artistico yesterday, I guess I'll end up getting the Stonehenge too. Thanks for the response! :)
Thank you so much for this video, I was searching what paper would be best for pastel pencils, and this answered all my questions. Subbed.
Wonderful! Very helpful. Thank you so much. Liked and subbed.
Hi Gemma, your channel is by far the best for colour pencil information and help in my opinion. Thanks and Regards JB
Once again just so helpful thank you so much for your time Sandy UK
I love the effect the vibrancy and blend from the pastel mat paper. What paper do you recommend to use solvent on? I’ve attempted Windsor and Newton pro marker paper, as it was the mat I initially started with and refuse to waste paper, however, the paper seems to become wavy, if you know what I mean lol
You’ve linked the smooth Strathmore Bristol paper. Have you tried Vellum Bristol? It’s a lot more textured so it might give you some more layers
My preferred choice for portraits is Bristol smooth. I don't use OMS so this paper is perfect for me. For wildlife i prefer pastelmat, mainly because that allows me to layer light over dark, perfect for fur.
Ok thanks for telling. But Is pastelmat good for not smooth hair?... I will not make the hair in my drawing smooth. And I think Bristol board it good for smooth hair.
Bristol smooth? Oh ok
Hello thanks for this video it was very helpful
In terms of vibrance and saturation, the pastelmat is the best choice.
Thank you so much for the great information...
But if I wanted a large size paper like 150cm x 100cm ... what do you prefer to use ?
Thank you so much for this video, it was super helpful. So far I've only tried coloured pencils on sketch paper and water colour paper, and couldn't understand why the texture of the paper wasn't helping me 😅😅
I enjoyed seeing your side by side comparisons, and your insight was really valuable.
which one would be better for deep contrasting values and smooth finish?
Your channel is sooooo good
What about toned papers/pads?
Gemma I have Bristol Pad 300 GMS would that be similar to Bristol Board ? ❤️
What about the Strathmore Colored Pencil Paper? I am normally a ink and wash artist but wanted to explore colored pencil. So I picked up that pad. Was it a good choice?
I'm new to your channel and love your tutorials. I just started a drawing on hot press watercolor paper 300# Arches ( because it was in my scrap pile and I'm a watercolor artist!). I have bristol board paper....smooth and vellum. Which one is best? It's not the brand you mentioned but I'll need to use it before investing in another brand. I've been into watercolor for 9 years and now branching out to color pencils, pastels...both oil and soft and charcoal drawing. Thank you so much for your channel.
It's very much personal preference. I only draw on smooth paper, and would always pick smooth over vellum. It's definitely worth trying both though and seeing which you prefer 🙂
I've heard hot press watercolor paper recommended for colored pencils. iT would certainly be different than cold pressed. How do you like iT?
Hi Gemma, do you have any advice for paper warping while using polychromos? I am using the tan strath more. Small drawings are fine, however the bigger drawings seem to curl upwards.
Usually when it comes to paper warping, the cause it due to the paper rather than anything else. I don't personally have any experience of tan Strathmore, but it seems to be medium thickness paper. It might be worth testing out some thicker paper like heavy weight drawing paper or bristol board. The tan Strathmore is 118gsm and I tend to use 240gsm bristol board. I also often tape down bigger paper while I'm working on it to help with curling (and keep it still for videos)
@@GemmaChambersArt thank you for the advice, drop an Amazon link in this video and I’ll use it :)
Done! In the video description 🙂
Hi gemma i tried the canson c a grain with fine grain and it was a terrible experience, it has a lot of tooth and a looks a lot pointy when your drawing is finished
Hey Gemma can you pls tell me which paper is best to use for fashion designing ??
She said Bristol
Very helpful, thank you 👍
Merry Christmast
Interesting, I had just begun searching on some Arches 140lb hot press paper and was not liking it at all. I’ll have to see about picking up the Bristol board and giving that a try.
I think pastelmat is best for color pencil drawing
Which pastel mat?
it's funny how some of you YT color pencil pros have different opinions & here I am trying to make sense of it all. I just want a paper in a journal that in which I can draw & color my flora & fauna lol.
Paper bamboo
I would never put color on the drawing as long as the paper isn't dry again, you will damage the tooth of the paper massivly.
Some of my best work was done on trash paper. Dont ask me. I may lock up on a expensive piece of paper but let go on a piece of old barn lumber 😂
