I'm working on LuxArchival sanded paper from brushandpencil.com This paper was provided to me by Brushandpencil.com to try but I was not otherwise paid. All of the opinions in this video are my own. My pan pastel set was originally sent to me to try by pan pastels as well several years ago. This video is not otherwise associated with them.

• Prismacolor Vs Faber C... - Jak na to + styl
I was never interested in working in CP because it takes so much time. But being able to do soft backgrounds and the larger areas in pan pastels, and then details in CP is very attractive. And your art work is gorgeous, no matter the medium!
Well, I don't even work in pan pastels OR coloured pencil.. BUT I watched the video just because your art is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! ❤️❤️👍👍Well done Lisa, and thank-you for everything you give to all of us in the art community - such a precious gift 🤗🤗🤗 Have a lovely Christmas 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you!!! You too!
I would love to see more like this, as the pastels have a learning curve. I really like them.
Everything you say is valuable !
Thank you for all the great tips. I have always wanted to try pastels and now i think you have given me the final push ❤
I learn so much from you. You bring attention to things I never thought of before, like the framing and size of the piece. Now that I know I will be prepared when and if I start making prints. You re saving me a lot of trouble in the future.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful tips! The painting is really beautiful!
I have never had any interest in pastel work until I saw this. Wow, this is gorgeous 😍 Thanks for sharing and happy holidays.
Love your artwork !
I learn a lot watching you.
Thank you for all the tips. You explain it all so well.
It is so helpful to watch you work! Great tips 😊
Absolutely breathtaking.
Great tips. Thanks do much. Merry Christmas!!
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
Great tips, as always beautiful work. Your tips and teaching are so appreciated. Thanks again
Thank you :)
I love Panpastel, it's work perfectly with Faber Castell polychromos, I made a few artwork with those two techniques, the perfect couple! and defenetly I love the last one artwork you do, with the olive tones.🥰🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤
Thank you, i learn so much from you. It’s beautiful!!! You make everything look so easy and flawless.
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for your commitment to helping artist for so long!! I am looong time follower! And I was a Patreon follower for a while to ❤️❤️❤️. It’s been fun to watch your channel evolve as well as your art. You have helped me in my own art journey as well. Thank you again!! Suzie.
You are so correct.. I m also following Lachri arts for a long time and I have learned so much from her.. she is a selfless teacher to thousands of budding artist.. really.. hats off to her..
Great tips, have a lovely Christmas 🤶
Excellent video, as usual!!❤️🤩😍
lowkey you're my new fav youtuber artist
Great information! In particular, I"'m really glad to know about the LuxArchival paper, and seeing the specific device that you use to apply the fixative is also a very helpful tip. I enjoyed watching you make the artwork too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pan pastels are so fun. I'm teaching them in the first class after Christmas break.
That's awesome!
The few times I have used fixative in the past, I’ve used Lascaux. It doesn’t darken the pastels but you will need to sell a couple of pints of blood or 2nd mortgage your house before you buy it! You are giving great advice by telling people use a somewhat restricted palette because doing so helps a drawing or painting be a unified whole. Also yes, people learn a lot more about color when they must use 5 or 6 colors instead of 24.
This is the most helpful video I've seen on pastels.
I'm glad you liked it :D
This is a very interesting video. I learned a lot
Makes me want to delve into using pan pastels! Great tips and beautiful work! As always, thanks Lisa!
Good lesson. Thanks.
The artwork is more beautiful than the reference photo!
If you haven't used the Panpastel blender color, you are missing out. Using white gives an opaqueness to your blended colors. Using the blender will keep the color pure while blending.
Very beautiful.
Beautiful
12:20 The idea of drawing shapes instead of things is also a great way to draw reflections and refractions on glass and water.
Great video Lisa! Your piece was an improvement from the reference photo for sure. The butterfly looked like a piece of lettuce in the original photo;)
Recommend this fallow artist and her work to all very helpful
Have you tried the pan pastel colorless blender? It enables smooth transparent effect. Just like you play between your oil and your wax based pencils whether you want smoothness and transparency versus vibrancy and opacity. The panpastel colorless blender provides that for just one pan to your existing set :)
I hope I sold it well 😎.
Beautiful! Could you use pastel pencils instead of colored pencils?
Did your set of 20 have lids/cover on each
I make my own soff-tool and other needed items.
Thx for the vid! Question: Before you start you used black colored pencil on the paper to trace? or is it something else like charcoal...
What kind of paint did you use at the end?
Things that will be seen in a photo always amaze me, our naked eye misses so much, but the photo shows things you didn’t see before. It’s almost supernatural what taking a photo does, I thought I was done until I took a photo lol. How do I not see these things before photo??? I just accept it now, the camera sees more than I do, fact💯🥰
thank you this tutorial. My only problem is I cant find Lux Archival sanded paper or spectra fix fixative anywhere at all. Im trying with pastel mat and Canson mi teintes touch sanded paper with what ever fixative that i can find which is usually Macador. I have all the rest so my challenge is to make it work.
Don't know where you're from but both things can be purchased on Jackson's Art, they ship worldwide. This is obviously not inexpensive. How are you liking the miteintes touch? I picked up a pad months ago but have not gotten around to using it. It looks like it'll be very similar to Pastelmat but it's cheaper where I live. I wonder why almost nobody seems to use it.
Try etching paper. It's so smooth. Totally different from pastelmat of course, but so dreamy to blend panpastel on! Great if you don't like to work in detail.
I think I have some here, I need to try it :)
@@Lachri and I want to try using your tricks so I can use coloring pencil over pastel mat. So do I really need the FC Polychromos pencils? They are so expensive.
Currently testing as I am typing and I find that both PP and CP work over Panpastel, except the color white. Not sure what to do about that.
What's the name of that set of PanPastels you're using?
Very helpful! May I ask why you don’t use blending powder? It’s amazing!
You mean powder blender?
@@Lachri yes, the pan pastel blender. I keep forgetting it’s there but when I do use it…it’s amazing!
Yes, why not use powder blender? I’m getting ready to do a piece for a charity auction…first time combining CP and panpastel; so I wonder about using the powder blender.
Oh damn, is Pastelmat not archival then? I had no idea!
Anything can be turned into(made) archival
Can you use you pan pastels or soft pastels over an oil based pencil like Polychromos?
Yep!
wait what is the titanium white you applied with a brush at the end?
czcams.com/video/9H3hOHx-qZ8/video.html. Here’s an instruction video.
It never occurred to me that the back of a paper might be different to the front! I don't personally need it as I'm a card maker but just in a general sense, that would never have occurred to me.
1st and tysm for your help!!!!
Why I hadn’t I thought of using multiple sofft tools - it’s sooooooo obvious! 🤦♀️ I love using panpastels for backgrounds, it’s so quick! 😊
Hi Lisa, what was the white "paint" you used?
Here’s her instruction video. czcams.com/video/9H3hOHx-qZ8/video.html
Beautiful!! Have you worked with Pastelmat paper? If so what did u think?
Yes she has used pastelmat. Go watch the dedicated video on the channel, but you might be exposed to some great videos without pastelmat in ;).
I have with colored pencil and loved it. I need to try it with the pan pastels still.
@@Lachri yes please do. I would love to see that on video.
Why did you not use Pastel pencils instead of Polychromos?
1st and tysm for ur help!!!!!
Is your art mostly pans and colored pencils?
I didn't catch the white highlight that you added. You said it was archival and wasn't acrylic or gouache, but made specifically for colored pencil. I don't see it on your materials list.
Brush and Pencil products: touch up texture and titanium white
I don't understand 😕
I'm Using panpastel for a portrait and.......
• The tooth of my portrait looks like the MOON
I'm using the Assorted Colors pastel paper pad - Artist Series by Canson.
• The pastel PENCILS I bought to make details aren't showing up, not one bit, over the panpastels.
😮💨 I don't know what to do.
I've not used that paper so I can't say for sure if it's an issue with technique, the paper or the pencils. Maybe post a photo in our art group on MeWe and see if anyone can offer any advice. mewe.com/join/lachriartistgroup
Pan Pastel remind me of early watercolor and Victorian handling
I really want to try these but I never get around to doing enough with what I have
I understand that!
@@Lachri Thank you for the video. 🙂
Viewing chalk pastel exhibition in NYC weirds me out
Thanks for the good tips, especially about the paper. But I simply can't agree with your assessment that we should forget washing the sponge tips and just treat them as easily disposable. They are not biodegradable (being made of plastic) and I think most folks would agree that our environment doesn't deserve such a blithe attitude. I have very good results with soaking and squeezing my "spongies" in warm soapy water for a bit and then rinsing and squeezing them out in rags and/or letting them dry on old newspaper. I use my sponge tips gently and have thrown very few (
Im not sure what you mean by using the tips gently. If you use them on the proper paper, they fray and break down very quickly. Not sure what kind of work you produce, but these are definitely not worth washing much like you dont wash a Q tip.
Its fuzzy
Don't judge! Butterfly shaving cream is expensive!
They don't think to put their product into fine must sprayer 🤔😱
What's wrong with Prismacolor? Your remark, "Like I would use Prismacolor" was a bit offputting. They're good and valid, relatively inexpensive artist colours. Not everyone can afford Derwent or Polychromos.
About half the colors are not lightfast and have no quality control. Very hit or miss if you get a pencil with a decent wood casing. They're not saving much money when you burn through pencils that keep breaking. Yes, I know all the tricks to "fix" one, but I'm not wasting my drawing time trying to fix my art supplies that shouldn't be broken in the first place.
If you like them great! I don't. 🤷♀️
Use less colours? I think you mean use fewer colours.
