I work mostly in oils, soft pastel and watercolour.
I used pastel pencil for fine detail in my pastels. Then I had to rescue a watercolour, and hit on using pastel. Wow! It worked!. Now of course I'm going to try a miniature with pastel pencils alone. Thank you for the inspiration. And for the nice guitar track too, another thing I struggle with!
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful teniques. I would like to ask you the tree at 9:18 that I suppose you drew with watercolor first whether we can create so realistically with pastel pencils?

@saokicucvay Thank you for your kind comments. To answer your question, it is possible to create realistic trees with the pastel pencil in fact starting at the end of April I am staring a spectacular landscape series including trees on my pastel site, would be worth a look. Best regards Colin.

- THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL TALENTS - HAVE ONLY COME LATELY TO YOUR TUITION VIDEOS BUT LOVING EVERY MINUTE SPENT VIEWING THEM AND AM LEARNING SUCH A LOT - CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY PASTELS AND START FOLLOWING YOUR ADVICE - INCIDENTALLY, YOU'RE CHARGING ELEPHANT VIDEOS ARE SUPERB !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
@Andreevskaya1810 Hi Anna, glad you liked the video. I use a variety of different brushes some are sable and some of them are good quality student type. Best regards Colin.
Dear Mr. Bradley, I love this video. I tend to work a lot with acrylics these days, can you use pastel over an acrylic painting? Excellent work and I hope more watercolour and pastel videos will follow. Have you any plans to release these demonstrations onto DVDs?
@horrorfan24 Thank you for your comments and your interest. It is possible to use pastel pencils over the top of acrylic but I don't think it will work as well as it does with watercolour. At the moment I do not have any plans to make a DVD covering this technique but who knows I may do in the future.
Thank you for your kind comments. I hope that you enjoy the clips if you do you may also like to check out my new youtube site 'watercolormadeeasy' where I am posting my watercolour work.
Thank you so much for your comment, I completely agree with you. I hope that you will be viewing my clips over the next couple of weeks on my watercolormadeeasy youtube site as you will see this watercolour picture develop.
Hi Colin again, I thought I would also reply to you on my watercolormadeeasy site if you would like to see the first watercolour clip click the watercolormadeeasy caption on this site.
I couldn't believe to see this video - some days ago I thought about combining watercolours ( watercolour pencils wet) with pastel pencils and played a bit around. Now seeing this videos made me soooooo happy!! Lucky chance or whatever - I will follow this demo.
I can't await to see more of your watercolours and to see the new homepage and more wc-videos!
Hi Martina Nice to hear from you again. I am glad that you enjoyed the clip it is very exciting to combine watercolour and pastel pencil together. However If you follow the watercolour picture on my 'watercolormadeeasy' site I think you will find that my watercolour alone would stand up on it's own. And all clips from this site wil not feature the pastel pencils. I used watercolour paper for the painting.
Thank you for your kind comment. I hope that you will pay a visit to my other youtube site- waterolormadeeasy- where I am completing the Dedham Mill watercolour in more deatil over the next few weeks.
your voice is so calming and i was so tired and slept on the computer!:P good job
