Whats the diference between conte(?), and sof pastels?

[unvme601]

@TheBookworm269 i believe soft pastels are made out of charchoal and conte is made out of either wax or lead.... i think its wax though

Try Strathmore 500 Series Charcoal Papers

Colin: the kind of paper seems to be part of what makes this happen. What kind are you using? What do you recommend?

[DebsDesigns21]

[TheAzad81]

what kind of paper do u use?Whats the brand name of this pastel.I use pastel named Titi oil pastel.But i cant blend it like u do.But i want to do this like u.What can i do.Pls informed me.

[Orihimex3]

@TheAzad81 the problem is that the oil pastels don't beldn and smudge )= I know that problem very well because I also bought oil pastels and wondered why it didn't blend like they should. Try to find pastels without the oil :) they will blend and smudge as the ones shown in this video ;)

sorry for bad English I'm German ;D Hope i could help you :3

This is great!!! i love your technques, i think as you'll getting older and older in daily life the same thing your getting older as bachelor in this aspect of life.a so called

"master " hello sir how about in the medium of painting using acrylics,latex or any kind of chemical paints is it also the same techniques you should used just like your pastel techniques?

[AuroraSelene2]

@1584ninz every medium requires different techniques. these tips are very useful for the use of pastel pencils specifically. painting is different because it often requires the balancing of water or another fluid along with the paint. there are also various brushes to use for different techniques, and different methods for laying on color.
