"there is the sun and everything else is darker than that." Great advice
alright, you've convinced me.. I'm going shopping.
Toned paper, Here I come!
Did you like it
@@itzumzy4296 I like white paper better, but I also see why it would work for some people
I've been musing about buying some toned paper for working with charcoal. My method now is covering the whole paper with a light layer of willow charcoal, adding darker tones, and erasing high lights. You convinced me to go and get a bloc of toned paper. Probably less messy😉
I recently came across the artist Pat Southern-Pearce and fell in love with toned paper. Funnily enough I was already bought a Hahnemuhle cappuccino toned sketchbook for a project I am planning for later in the year. We are spending a couple of days in a little seaside town which has many stone buildings and I thought it would be interesting to use toned paper.
The value discussion is huge for me. When I use white paper, I'm working double time to ratchet down the value. It's a lot of work. Thank you!!
Great video! When I began drawing pencil/charcoal portraits about a year ago I started out with white paper. Then, one day when I was purchasing more sketch books, I saw the tan and grey paper and thought I would give it a try. I really like the toned paper much better.
I also love grey paper for coloured pencils. I have only tried prismacolor pencils and what I have drawn is beyond modest, but the drawing had more dimension than with white paper.
Thanks for this video, now I consider buying toned papers.
Thanks for helping me understand why toned is better; I'm a huge Arthur Rackham fan, and I know he used toned or toned his own paper, I just didnt' understand why. now I do, and will follow in his and everyone else's footsteps for more sheen and pristine artworks.
Thank you for making this video! I’ve been curious about toned paper, and after seeing your video, I am definitely going to go buy some to try and draw on now. :)
I absolutely enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!🎨💕
Thank you so MUCH this was so helpful 🌹
I love your channel so much
Your explanation & style are easy to understand and tidy 🥰
THANK YOU I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST 🌹💗
Really well done. I like the subtle soft brushed on the face. They look killer on that toned paper. Lots of great texture and detailed work in the hair. Excellent piece 👌😊- best of luck on your art and your channel ,and much support from one artist to another. Massive 👍's Up.
Thanks. I was thinking about getting toned paper. Now I will. I’m only using graphic ink but I’m sure it will look wonderful and help with my art. ❤️
The best thing about toned paper is that you don't have to worry about mid tones and save a lot of time while also gives a more realistic look
U r such a good teacher. Your explanations r so clear & to the point I don't know where to start because u make everything enticing. I'm an art teacher myself after retirement as a hs principal & experienced in most media but I always learn something from watching u. Thanks
love it!! thanks Matt, I have a lot of gray/tan and black pads of paper! as well as assorted colors.
Thank you very much for this video.... I found it to be extremely helpful
Thank you so much for these wonderful tips!
Was ready to skip through this VID but the condensed information is useful and well communicated, appreciate the expertise
You know, I had been attracted to toned paper for some time, but I never really felt like actually trying it. With this video you finally convinced me. I am definitely gonna try it. Thanks for the video. 😀👍
A very good explanation with examples. I learn much. Thank you.

I have both toned 18 x 24 books ive been nervous to try i sale my art so idk how people will feel about the end result but you just encouraged me to commit thanks
great one ,,,this is helpful
Beautiful art
Thank you
Wonderful video. When I work in watercolor, I always start with an underpainting wash. For a while I was doing all of my drawing on white mixed media paper with a watercolor wash. Getting toned sketch/drawing paper makes so much more sense than buying mixed media paper that can handle the watercolor wash but my brain never connected the dots....
Ateza grey toned paper pads are the best value. 2 large sketchbooks of 100 sheets for 17 quid. Lovely to use with charcoal
Amazing
I love toned paper...
So true!!! Should have done that earlier...
Can you please explain how to rub out charcoal when I’ve tried it it smudges badly then my work is spoilt
I have just come upon your site, I love the glass it’s so real I would say you have placed a glass of water on your piece of paper, it’s that real to me what a great job you have done thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your beautiful talent, I am so great full to you & all the other artists that come on to CZcams if it wasn’t for you Artists, being a BEGINNER it has helped me to draw, I wouldn’t say I’m very good at it but I’m trying so hard I love it 🥰 so much I have to do a lot of rubbing out which frustrates me but I know it’s practice practice practice, I just turned 83 yrs of age & I feel it’s keeping my mind active so once again I thank you so much,👍🏻 Beautiful work, your’s truly Roger from down under Australia 🇦🇺 👴🏻🧠🦘🦘

How do I know which colored, toned paper to use?
I wish he went into different tones a bit more. I mean the blues etc I get thats a specialty, but the grey vs cream etc would have been nice, I have some cream and I find it hard to go really dark with.... Also worth considering because framing is so expensive, if you want to frame your art with a NON custom framer and just buy a premade frame, you are going to get a white or black matte with it, and a white or black matte on toned paper can distract from your art in a bad way especially on cream, as you want to match your matte usually to the darkest or lightest tone in your drawing which ever you have the least of to bring it out. White bringing out the highlights and black bringing out the shadows. Therefore putting a white matte around your cream paper just flattens all your highlights killing the contrast of your drawing :(
Favaulous art ...😍..plaese put a link of this sketchbook ...
You've convinced me Matt lol (-: Marion
i like your blue eyes
thank you ….
Subbed 👊😷
Is it okay to use kraft paper? Or is a kraft paper also a toned paper?
I think the real reason is that the layers or channels in visual cortex are a "toned paper" (medium grey) and each edge is a pair of white and black edge.
I bought some grey paper after watching one of your videos, now I need to try it! Thanks for these tips!
Can we make tuned papar at home?
Can i use pencils on this kind of papers
I was hoping for some ideas of how to fill in the values. Which value on the value scale to you assign to the paper color from your reference. No clue included here. 😐
And Da Vinci!

Please i what to no how to draw like you
Who else loves the way he says drawings 😂
I'm only gonna use toned paper for my white charcoal XD
Please make tutorials for toned paper!!!
Okay sure, but I like white paper's _look_
The way you say drawing sounds like drauwwing. What accent is it? Southern?
If I buy those type of papers I might never go back
Stop saying drowing so many times! lol
Very informative vid. Thank You
I was going to make fun of how he says drawing. Then I realised, thet there's a w in drawing wich makes his pronounciation much more logical.
paper has major roles in drawings.
Don't draw on any cheap drawing book. Later or sooner it'll discouraged you to quit.review of
Drawing paper is very important.
