I'm learning how to not suck at art and picked up some Nupastels today on a while while I was at Guiry's. I didn't know you could use them as watercolors! I'm so excited! :3
I'm drooling over these pastels. Lovely! I'm really enjoying your channle. :)
I use my prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits with stumps or tortillions and get a great blend and gradient of color on a smoother paper. I think the watercolor paper is too absorbant for the mineral spirits to work thier magic with these pastels. I use Neenah Classic Crest in 80# or Cryogen White (which has a super shimmer to it) in 80#.
As a watercolor cake, they seem like a lot of fun & very rich. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I was feeling iffy on purchasing these over Amazon but you laid it out so perfectly! I can't wait to get them and go to town!
They are so great as watercolors!! My favorite use for them!!
