Rachel I love the pastels that you use they are amazing! I would really like to start investing in them. I am wondering if you have any suggestions. I know there are a ton of different sets. Would you recommend a large set to begin with or smaller ones. What set do you have? I was thinking the 40 count but then if I want to fill in colors later do I have to do it individually or can I get a companion set as not to duplicate colors? Thanks again for all your inspiration-great artist!
@chateaumgr Thanks for your question. I went straight for the full set, but this is a huge investment as they are not cheap. I think if you bought the 40 set, you would then need to buy individually as you would find duplicates in the other sets - there may be a guide to which colours are in the sets on the Caran D'Ache web site - maybe worth checking before you invest, but you won't regret buying them, whatever you decide :-)
I like at the end you say open to criticism or comments. I don't know how anyone could criticize this. It is WONDERFUL! I love the all blue hues. To me she looks like a frost princess or something to that effect. Great job.
You surely have a talent! Really beautiful!!! Those eyes are gorgeous....whenever I've tried doing eyes, they look possessed by something evil! These eyes are so very sweet and innocent! Great job! No critique from me!!!
Wow, super stunning Rach! No criticism here :) I'd love to see a tutorial on how you paint the portraits. I have a really hard time with the shading and it would be good to see how you do that.. please?? :)
@KraftyKatsy Thanks for your lovely comment. I don't sell them - I've really only just begun to get into this type of art, so still learning, but really nice to hear you like it enough to enquire:-)
I looooooooooooove this painting,it is such an amazing piece of art,woooooooooooooooow,....................it would be nice to do that to,i love the girl,how can i learn that????
