Hi, thanks for watching. I haven't seen the real thing, but I have seen some of Degas' other works in the national gallery, and I love them. Sorry, I never use pastels as I am asthmatic and I can't cope with the dust.

Hi, thanks for watching. I would choose the xl if you work on a large scale with big sheets of paper. For most average size work, you can use the standard size. You can make similar marks with both, especially by lying the block down and using the side to drag along the paper. With the standard, you can get a larger range of colours in one tin. Whichever you choose, I hope you have fun with them! 😃

@@CallyLawson thank you very much !I feel less frustrated, that's a very clear answer. 🙂

Yes, absolutely. It is good fun, but sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The amount of paint, drying time, pressure, etc. are very difficult to replicate. I use scraps of card that I have spare, I don't like to pay for good paper for these if they are going to end up in the bin! Thanks for watching 😊

You're welcome, thanks for watching 😊

That's great, I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching 😊

Yes, I agree. I love my Artists quality watercolour paints, my favourite are Sennelier. However these are great fun and very portable. For the price they are good for sketching. I particularly recommend them for Children who will like the bright colours. Thanks for watching 😊

Hi, thanks for watching. I didn’t have any problems with the formatting, I used Canva for that. I added my images on Canva, then flattened them when saving.

@@CallyLawsonThanks for replying! Does that mean the pages were all image files? Were they fixed format for the ebook? I’m trying to do reflowable text. Thanks again,

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it useful. It would be good if they brought out more colours in time, I agree. I hope you get a good deal on Prime Week. Have fun with your Inktense 😃

Thank you very much 😊

Hi, that's great, thanks. Good luck with your book! 😃

Hi, thanks for watching. Thank you, that's helpful for others reading this who may just have the previous instructions. It seems a long time since I did this video. I haven't really used the thickener much since then.

Thank you 😊 and thanks for watching. You are right about his style! I really enjoyed doing this, as you could probably tell, I am a big admirer of Van Gogh. Have a lovely weekend 😃

Hi, thank you. The paper is an A4 mixed media pad from Daler Rowney. Thanks for watching 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you, and thanks for watching. Do you always stick to the same topics and media with your artwork? It is sometimes good to try something different. If you work in oil, swap to watercolour or visa versa. I wonder about your comment saying you are still a "beginner" after 15 years. You aren't as you have 15 years of accumulated knowledge. Maybe it's a case of too much knowledge, perhaps you need to let go and break some rules 🤔 I also wonder about your term "break into the next level", this suggests to me that you are comparing your art to others. We all have different styles and strengths, lean to what it is that you do like about your work. As you have continued with your art for 15 years, you must enjoy it and have a desire to always paint and draw. Little breaks now and again are good, you come back with "fresh eyes". I hope that helps and that you continue to enjoy painting and drawing 😊

@@CallyLawson Oh, dear Cally, I didn’t expect you to take so much of your precious time to answer me. You read me like an open book and your words fall like a spring rain on a thirsty garden bed. I will carefully take every aspect of your advice presented and will try to apply each of them into my art practice. Oh, how I needed this! Forever grateful for your support, I thank you from my heart for presenting me with a different perspective, for your encouragement and for sharing from your experience with all of us. Sending you love from California ❤️

@@pastelsgirl You're most welcome, I am happy to be of use. All the best from a rainy Cumbria! 🙂

Hi Graham, thanks for watching. I do understand your frustration, I also wonder how I did some of my work that I like the best and struggle to recreate. Sometimes, we just have good days where it all falls into place. With drawing, the best way to improve is to draw from life as often as possible, small observations of everyday objects in your sketchbook. With the colour, perhaps opt for a limited palette of no more than 3 or 4 colours at a time. This helps to keep a fresh look and prevents "muddy" colours. Don't forget, the paintings that you aren't happy with others may really like, it's all subjective! Keep enjoying your drawing and painting 😀

Wow, 100 days is a real commitment, I hope you enjoy it 😀 well done!! Thanks very much for watching, I'm glad you found it useful 🙂

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it useful 😀 have lots of fun with your new paints!

Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to paint in my upcoming videos. Have a lovely weekend 🙂

Thanks for watching. You can buy masking tape from all art stores and DIY stores, you can also buy it on Amazon.

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it 😊

Thanks for watching and for your lovely feedback. Perhaps try using fewer colours and more water, keep the painting really simple to show off your pen lines. Enjoy your drawing and painting 🙂🎨

Hi, thanks for watching. I don’t use any water with them. I only use water to clean my brushes. If you add water, you will reduce the intensity of the colours. Enjoy trying out your new paints 🎨

Thank you so much for purchasing my book and for your feedback on my work, it is much appreciated. Have a good weekend 🙂

Hi Graham, I think that's a great way to use the AI and as far as I know there should be no copyright issue working that way. There is a fantastic website called Pixabay which has lots of copyright free real images, you may like to take a look at that. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, I am glad that you are finding my videos useful. You have exactly the right approach, sketching for the enjoyment of it. I do hope you continue to enjoy practicing you sketching. Thank you 😊

@@CallyLawson thank you. Yes, Pixabay is good, I used to use Unsplash but it rarely came up with what I wanted. Pixabay seems much better. As an aside, I put into the AI generator called Gencraft the phrases ‘18 century man’ and ‘18 century woman’ and the results are astonishing. Maybe a bit Hollywood but if ever I learn to draw people, they will be stunning resources.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it's really appreciated 😊 Have fun creating your cards 😀
