Hi Gunja 🥰, I enjoyed watching this so much! It was very calm and soothing watching you work, and I learnt a lot too! I was so happy to see the final art - it is perfectly your style and very beautiful as always!
I haven't worked with only soft pastels before. When I try new materials, I get very impatient when the colours look flat at the beginning! I give up easily if I can't work out how to add more depth and texture. This video really helped me to understand that you need to be patient and give everything a little bit of time!
I have a question for you. What will you do when the pastels become a bit more blunt and don't have a sharp edge? Is there a way to make the edge sharp again for small details?
Hi Abinaya, I'm so happy to read your comment. Thank you for appreciating my skills and watching entire recorded session, it really means a lot. Answer to your question: It actually breaks in pieces, the soft pastels I'm using are like square sticks so whenever it breaks it becomes either a small stick or a cube with the sharp edge so I use that as I'm using the big stick. However I have heard some very good brands like Sennelier and Schmincke with very vibrant colours which comes in round shape and are too soft for application. I'm sure there is a special sharpener out there for them. They are still on my dream art supply list! 🤪🤞🏽 But for now I have concluded that I'll go ahead and invest in at least some soft pastel pencils this upcoming Black Friday Deals or Christmas Deals! 😜 Very excited for tomorrow's live!
