How to sort a new box of soft pastels into values

 

It’s about time I published a new video with a pastel painting tip. So here it is! I talk about how to sort a new box of pastels (a small starter kit) into values. The main thing you need to do this is SQUINT!!

So without further ado, here’s the video:

Gail Sibley's video shows you how to quickly sort your new box of pastels into values, something that's sooooo worth doing!

Please give me some feedback. Was the video helpful? Was it clear? And what other videos would you like to see? My goal is to make a whole heap of short videos on all aspects of doing pastels.

 

Have a great weekend! I am off to Salt Spring Island for an overnight with my good friend Sandy. It’ll be dinner, some single malt whisky with dark chocolate, then a movie. Perfect!

Talk soon,

Gail
