Coloring Backgrounds with Soft Pastels
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 янв 2017
- Originally filmed LIVE on Facebook, this fun video is all about how to finish our coloring pages with a pastel background. I demonstrate how to use soft pastels alone and with stencils. I also describe the differences between soft and oil pastels and how to finish your project with a fixative spray. Your coloring books are going to look fantastic with this fun technique!
Join me at my next LIVE Facebook event. I have them every Wednesday at 12:30 pm Mountain time. We learn new things, laugh, and have fun.

Take A wet paint brush to the cheap hard pastels and you can use them almost like watercolor or pencil tip to tip technique. The color pay off is more intense than the soft rubbing and buffing. Its not a great quality product like a good set of watercolor or watercolor pencils but another way to get more Bang for your buck out of your supplies and a way to try new techniques with fewer supplies before you invest too much money on something you might not like.
Just be sure to let your pastels dry out before you put the lid back on and store them away. I sure hope you try it I think you’ll be surprised.
I also purchased that set at Michaels. For the use I make of it, which is like you, backgrounds only, and the price I paid for, I am very satisfied with them and I would recommand them to everyone. Thanks for sharing
+Ghislaine Portelanc, I am so grateful for inexpensive art supplies so we can all try out different tools. 😊 thanks for watching my video.
Hi Colouring Bliss Community, As a hairdresser I would not recommend hairspray as a fixative for your art work. Yes hairspray will work as a final layer especially hairspray from hairdresser not the supermarket. Most hairsprays are P.h.on the acid side due to hair being around 5.5-6.5 acidic P.h. I know that the paper should be acid free so I don’t know what effect of the hairspray might have over time and possible pigment changes. On another note using eyeshadows and blush in your colouring pages you are again using an acidic product due to skin being P.h. 4.5-5.5 so an even more acidic items. I can foresee archival issues. Of course it’s art so if you prefer or want to use hair and skin products in your work then go for it.
Thank you, especially the fixative. 🥰
Thank you so much, I am learning and loving everyone of them. Have a great day. :)
+Dotty J, I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos.
Thank you for the tips. I am new to pastels and this video will be a great help.
Great video.....I've been needing ideas for backgrounds and I love this with the pastels! I have the same set that's been sitting collecting dust...lol. Time to dust it off:)
Love this tutorial! I've been wanting to try pastels.😊
+Sally Thibodeaux, there are so many fun ways to use these pastels. I can't wait to have more time to play with them more!
Love the stencils with the pastels . Will have to play. Thanks for your time.
+Di Monty, yay! Colorful play time ❤️💛💜
Wow very nice, I really love the pastel background. Going have to give it try. LOL..every time I watch one of your videos I want to run out to the stores. I did get the paper with the tooth's and can really see the difference it makes when using the Prismacolor pencils. Glad I got that. Thanks
+Patricia Folks, yay! I'm glad the paper is helping. It's amazing how making adjustments like that can help the end result.
Fantastic tutorial....thank you!!! Keep em comin'
Thank you for the demonstration. I have a question: Could one use soft pastels for a background in scrapbooking? I don't want to do anything that would damage my photos.
Thank you for this video on how to use soft pastels for coloring our backgrounds. Doing it by pencil would take so very long and look very lined. I had not thought of using stencils either. You are right about the pastels being very messy. Trying to use a Q-tip directly on the pastel block itself did not work well for me. The pastel mashed onto the Q-tip really strongly and would only lay down one dark spot and only spread super lightly out from that. It seemed to want to stick onto the cotton. How can I get it to let go in the small spaces I am trying to color, please?
I love the soft pastels. I have picked up sets for as little as two dollars and change. The are so much fun (Even with the mess). Thank you for showing using them with stencils. Your heart was beautiful.
+Patty Devoux, lol...I'm glad you liked my impromptu heart. The stencils are so fun to play with...I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Another great video, Jennifer. Can hardly wait to incorporate pastels into my coloring and use them for my backgrounds. Thanks for the great tips! I always learn so much from you.
+Cindy Knapper, yay for new ways to add color to our art!! So much fun!
Very nice! Thank you for showing us how to do that! I didn't even think to use stencils it turned out beautiful!
+Dawn Reaume, I was thinking today about how nice a simple stencil like a circle just repeated and overlayed would look. So many possibilities! Thanks for watching. 😊
I agree , don’t like this narrow view. Thanks for the demo, this is why we watch because you always go into details, next time please so back to your regular screen. Luv all your video’s so informative.
I just finished a coloring book where the back of the page has the story. Ive wanted for a long time to try to make a sun rise/set. I have the Derwent pastel pencils. On one of the fairy pages playing with firefly, I started at the top with a blue, the next was a pink and last a yellow. I just scribbled around her with the side of the pencils. I then took a Kleenex and rubbed all three colors sort of side to side into the paper so that the pink went into the blue and yellow, and the other two into the pink giving me a lovely sunset. Because there was great tooth on the paper, what wasn't in the paper, was on the the Kleenex, I did not spray it with a fixative. I rubbed my fingers across the paper before I made my decision...nothing came off.
+sandy vaughan, sounds beautiful! That's great that it didn't need fixative! Thanks for watching my video. 😊
Not sure why, but this was the second time I watched this video, and on full screen and regular screen, the video was restricted to a band in the middle of the screen and the right and left sides were blacked over. I don't know if this was only a problem on my computer or not, but the first time I watched this video, it was normal full screen. Did this happen to anyone else today?
hated this it looked like you were miles away and It was really hard to see anything.
love the video. I now have to go buy some more art supplies lol.
+Charlotte, so glad I could give you a reason to go buy more art supplies 😉❤️

Thank you so much! I was looking for a tutorial with pastels 🤗
I know there are hard pastels called "nupastels," which are from Prismacolor I believe. I have them and they are more for drawing than filling in. I did purchase them from A.C. Moore and only grabbed them because they were on clearance for dirt cheap! Lol TFS! Great video!
+lisamr40, so many amazing art supplies to try in this world! Thanks for watching. 😄
What is the brand of the other more expensive pastels that you use that are softer?
Neat!
Now, what happens if you take the cottonpads, dotted in colors, and humidify it with water and paint around with it on a piece of paper?
+Chara Choppel, great idea! I played around with rubbing alcohol a little during the LIVE event but the smell was too strong for my migraine, lol. I didn't have great success during the LIVE event so I left it out of this edited video, but I want to try again because pastel artists use water and other wet media with their pastels all the time. Soooo much fun!
+Chara Choppel, I love playing with different possibilities! Sometimes it makes a big colorful mess, but who cares?! 😊
Thank you so much for making this video !!!! It was very helpful !!! I was wondering how to colour the backgrounds using soft pastel if we want to colour the image first with the wax based coloured pencils since wax based coloured pencils get tinted with the soft pastels.
Thank you for the post it note tip as well. This is amazing !!!
I think shooting the video in horizontal would be better for some viewers.
Also is there anything else that can be used apart from cotton pads or cotton balls? Can a reusable piece of fabric be used?
Could you please tell us how to make a glow effect?
Alfiya Khan You can use soft cotton fabric to spread the pastel powder. For a simple glow effect, use a range of light and dark colors around your design.
For example, suppose you have a page with 2 birds in a tree. In the center, use yellow in a circle. Then orange, then red, then dark magenta etc. Keep going in concentric circles until you reach the end of the page. That'll give you a lovely glow effect.
Oil based pencils like Polychromos can resist the pastels so you can go over them easily. But for wax based pencils like prismacolor, you can go over the edges of your design with a blender pencil and burnish with hard pressure. That'll set the colors into the paper. Now you can use pastels on top without any problem!
I hope this helps.
Good video. Thanks. Is there a reason the video is a thin video with hazed edges? Is there any way to make it the full screen?
+Susan J, yes...isn't it annoying!!? This was filmed LIVE on Facebook using my iPhone and we could not get the camera to go landscape. After a ton of research we finally discovered a random setting deep in my iPhone that needed adjusting and now I can film in landscape! Going forward, all LIVE footage will be landscape...yay!!!
Coloring Pages Bliss yay!! Love your videos. Landscape or not:):)
+Susan J, thank you 😊😊😊😊
Will the fixatives help protect the lightfastness of colored pencils or keep the colors from fading over time?
+RBdreamsART, yes! Some fixatives have UV protection in them...just read the labels. 😊😊
Great! Thanks!
plz make the camera closer
+jillfarkas, I agree!! This was filmed LIVE on Facebook and the software won't let me zoom. I may do another tutorial on this where I can zoom in better. Thanks for watching.
I tried post it notes and they left spots on my color pages. Maybe left on for a few minutes may be ok;) Nice video. TY.
+Carmelle Lapointe, oh no! I have never had that happen. So sorry.

What are your thoughts on prisma premier pastels?
I haven’t invested in those yet. I would love to try them someday.
I have some coming tomorrow, I will have to let you know how they are!
Instead of using the knife you can actually take the applicator and rub it on the pastel/chalk and then color with it!
+Erica Sendel, thanks for the tip...I have done a little of that too. I love an art medium that has soooo flexible. Fun! Thanks for watching. 😊
Have you tried the Panpastel products?
Not yet, they are on my wish list. They look beautiful.
Where can I find your knife?
+sandy vaughan, isn't it a fun little knife? I'm not sure where my boys got it. They collect pocket knives and they dontated this one to me so I could use it in my art studio.
Coloring Pages Bliss RATS!
Where can I, get some of those beautiful stencils?
+Maria Devora, I bought some of these stencils on clearance at Walmart. I am always checking the clearance section of my craft stores and picking up random stencils. The home decor department is a great place to look for stencils.
that's way to far away, It's way to hard to see what you're doing
+Sherry W., agreed! One of the drawbacks of filming LIVE on Facebook. I may do a follow up on this video with my 4K camera so I can do some close up shots.
Moist it with water, I mean.
I really love your stencil book. Can you tell me where your beautiful stencils come from. I haven't seen much that I like. And what size is the binder you put them in? It doesn't look like 8.5 X 11
+Mickey Lavoie, it's a standard binder - 8.5 x 11, the stencils have been collected over many years. I find them in the paint department usually...for stenciling on walls. 😊
Too far way and couldn't see anything clearly.
I think you should let your viewers know that it's not a good idea to blow the pastels like this for health reasons.
+Judy Ortiz, good to know! Thank you.
