 Hello, artists! I wanted to do a quick little video correction on my previous video on using soft pastels just like watercolour. I really thought it was awesome. But I made the mistake of calling the Derwent ink tents. I called them pastels and they're actually like compressed ink, like acrylic ink. You can buy acrylic inks in liquid format and these ink tents blocks are great. They look just like or very similar to new pastels. But they are really intense with color and they have a nice luminosity when you use them like watercolour. See that video to see how well they work in this capacity. But I wanted to make sure I had someone ask what was the difference between using ink tents versus new pastel. So I thought I'd just go ahead and do a video showing the difference between all of them when you use them like watercolour. Okay, so I'm speeding this up just because I think you can get the point. These are the ink tents, not pastels, but compressed ink. I'm showing a little bit how you can use them. By the way, don't add too much water and I started lifting them up out so I didn't get water all down in there. These are the Neo Color 2 wax pastels, actually considered pastels even though they don't seem like pastels to me. They seem like crayons. These are the new pastels made by Prismacolor and I also use a regular soft pastel. I think the one I used was by Unison. Now I'm just marking this off to have two columns. One will be using each type of pastel or ink tents as watercolor or like watercolor and one will be using it like an underpainting. So basically here are the pastels and here I am applying this like watercolor, literally using the pastel to put some water on with a brush and apply it just like watercolor. Now the differences are that the regular pastel I use, the soft pastel at the top is a lot more opaque. It's not as translucent, but it had a little bit to do with the type of pastel that I chose. It happened to be one that was just a little more opaque in its color, I think originally. So now I'm using them as an underpainting. When you apply the pastel or the ink tents and then you apply water. I use this technique all the time. And now I want to show you how, even though in the previous video where I used mostly the Derwent ink tents blocks, you can also use regular soft pastels. I use this set in just a minute of the Sennelier 40 half stick set. I really like this little set. I like buying half sticks. So check out how I use these again, just like watercolor. It's really a lot of fun. Sorry for it being dirty, but I can literally use this like I did in the other video where this is like my little watercolor palette. I did mention to be careful. Don't apply so much water that you get your, you know, your pet. Look how gorgeous that is. So yes, absolutely. We can use soft pastels as watercolor or you can use ink tents. Let's see the difference here with this is a dark one. Or you could use wax pastels. Okay, here's the intense. That's a nice dark one. And let me get a new pastel. This is a new pastel, actually a pastel, even though it does look like the intense. So let's check that one out. And you can see they all behave similar. Let me get a wax pastel since I brought that one up and had it in the sample. These are the wax pastels made by Neo color. I love these. They're really great for under paintings. So let's just pick a different color with that. Let's do something in the green family. Same thing. I'm going to use it just like watercolor as if this was a little well or individual little palette of a watercolor. So same thing. Look at that pretty color. All right, so they can all be used like watercolor. Isn't that cool? I love that. I thought that was exciting. So I just wanted to make that correction. This is the one that actually is ink. Okay, it doesn't matter. I mean, you still use it the same way, but the rest of these are considered pastels. So hope that was helpful. And I hope you'll go back and watch that other video because I really had fun painting some sunflowers and it was really neat. So all right guys, hope you enjoyed that. Do some painting. Have some fun. And of course, happy painting.
