It’s amazing how you keep such a steady hand and do such minute lines and details with such clunky medium. Even with hard pastels and pencils I can’t do that.
This is great Emma. I tend to work small, though I want to do more larger scale paintings. I am very much interested in water reflection. Thank you for making this video! I would also like to see your process for drawing out this extensive drawing!
I’ve just discovered your channel this morning as I want to learn to do soft pastel landscapes, at present I have the Rembrandt soft pastels some koh I noor pastel pencils, Caran d’Ache twenty set which were a present and a dozen carbothello. On your patreon do you do a balance of animal/ landscapes. I also wondered with the method you use to transfer the line drawing doesn’t that leave unavoidable smudge marks and do you remove those before starting, wouldn’t they muddy the colours you are laying down, sorry for asking so much, but I really like what you are doing especially the landscapes, I had no idea one could do buildings and that’s a g@me changer for me and something I would like to follow up
Hi Margaret, Because I love to try painting everything, I'm trying to cover as wide a range of subjects on my Patreon as possible. Landscapes, pets, wildlife, people and then other things like fabric textures etc. Anything I come across in my own work, I try to share it! Regarding transferring the image. If you rub in the dark pastel on the back of your line drawing really well, only the line itself should come off on the page. But I'm not worried if some smudges do appear as they will likely get completely covered. I have a video on transferring the image where you'll see how cleanly it appears for me. czcams.com/video/eiDxsN9vxE0/video.html&index=8
Hi Brenda, I'm using velour paper here not the sanded variety. But the same method works for all papers which you can see at czcams.com/video/eiDxsN9vxE0/video.html.
For the moment I only have the full timelapse version of this piece which you can see at czcams.com/video/zji71yhaNP8/video.html as well as this tutorial based on a small part of the piece. I will hopefully revisit the footage to make more tutorials in future and you can find most of my long in depth tutorials on my Patreon channel at www.patreon.com/emmacolbertart
Love your longer tutorials
I just love your explanations. Thanks.
great painting

Loving watching this tutorial but what do you use to transfer your image onto the sanded paper so it stays visible ?

Where is the beggining and the end of this tutorial?
