    When I use pastel pencils I don’t seem to be able to layer very well. I’m not sure if I’m using too much pressure. When I blend with a stump it looks streaky and doesn’t seem to blend properly. You say you use a smooth paper. Is it shiny or drawing paper? Thank you! I love using pastel pencils and doing portraits. I just can’t believe how realistic yours look compared to what I do. Do you always fee drawer your sketch? It’s just so incredible how you get the angles, shading and features so accurate. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you and thank you for sharing 🙂

    Sergio, I need help with with use of titanium white in pastels and oils. Because its so full of pigment, it seems to grey down too much. Use of translucenent whites like flake white or zink white..they helps in oils, but not in pastels…
    HERE IS MY QUESTION:
    How can I increase lighter tonality and upper highlights by keeping it warm, without greying it down?

    Hello Sergey,  I am so grateful to you and for you….you have given me so much help + inspiration (not to give up !) I am painting my whole life but not consistently as life takes over (kids) etc.  Now 77 yrs (young!) have continued for the past years to do more and more 'art'..of late,  for first time: portraits after reading Leonardo book just published PLUS having found you on You Tube and now am so eager to get going every morning,  watching your videos (over and over) learn more and more each time.  I have never seen anyone (or heard) as wonderful as you are….slowly you explain and show – at the same time.  I am so very impressed and grateful to have you now as my teacher…you are the very best I have ever experienced my whole life.  So,  thank you for being so generous to those of us who struggle – have never reached your high level of learning – to take the steps, little by little each time we sit to paint/draw.  I wish you all the best life has to offer with my very best wishes,  Cynthia

    May I ask what paper medium and the coarseness? Thank you

  37. @rutbrea8796 Avatar
    @rutbrea8796

    You are very good with pastels. This medium is not very easy to work with. With the oil pastels I have used the Liquin to soften the surface. It worked. I was just studying for a painting, later on I will continue with this medium because I have a lot of details on a large painting in which many people are involved. The one I am working on is not only a portrait, there are various people. I will try to use your system to. You have done a great job. Thank you for your video I am learning a lot. Although I have been painting for a few years now, but do not consider myself a professional. As I learn from others it will make me feel more confident. Again, thank you.
