Rob's Art Supply Reviews: December 2013
http://robs-art-supply-reviews.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Rob's Art Supply Reviews. My favorite color is "all of them." What's yours? Sunday, December 29, 2013. My first expectation was that they should handle exactly like the other colors. No matter what artist pigments go into the other colors of Pan Pastels, the texture of the product is the same in every color. Yes, that's how they work. These are exactly like all the other Pan Pastels. Just shimmery metallic. That this is a huge big deal only made sense to me at time of writing. So let's paint the duck!

giraffe | adam's oil pastels
https://adamspastels.wordpress.com/2011/10/23/giraffe
Adam's oil pastels. Scribblings of a colourist. October 23, 2011. Here’s one that is a bit of a change from my normal paintings. It came about in a weird way I bought a frame the other day because it was so cheap but it has unusual dimensions quite long (or tall! So, pondering this with my wife, she jokingly suggested I do a giraffe. To try and loved them! So I really want to do more with these paints. But I still want to continue with the oil pastels. Hmmm. Just another good guy. Laquo; Previous post.

No. 7, A______ Ave | adam's oil pastels

Adam's oil pastels. Scribblings of a colourist. October 19, 2011. No 7, A Ave. This is No. 7, A Ave, the fourth house on the right as you go up the hill. This was a comparatively easy picture to do. I took less than two hours to complete it. I used some water-soluble oil pastels in part, but found them difficult to get used to so abandoned them – I will practise with them another time because it would be good to be able to use them for finer detail, perhaps.

https://adamspastels.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/no-3-a-ave
Adam's oil pastels. Scribblings of a colourist. October 8, 2011. No 3, A—— Ave. This is the second house as you go up the hill, next door to the one I posted a few days ago. I am beginning to get a bit of fun seeing how these pictures relate to each other. You will be able to see this more clearly in ones to come I have been reviewing the other photos I have of the street and this will be good to bring out keep in touch and check back from time to time. The drawing itself took me about 30-40 minutes.

Rob's Art Lessons: Easy Pastel Demo - Pears
http://robs-art-lessons.blogspot.com/2014/09/easy-pastel-demo-pears.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. Easy Pastel Demo - Pears. Charcoal stick or pencil. Pastels (any brand) red, green, orange, blue, white. Charcoal or drawing paper with vellum or laid surface. A pear, real or fake, to draw from. Charcoal sketches to start. Once I got the second sketch, I repeated it two more times on the page and then started using the pastels. I finished my bluesorange one first, but did the red-green one stopping half way to show that stage. So now let's carry this farther even if I'm usi...

Monday, March 12, 2012. Colored Pencil Shading and More. Today's art lesson is on colored pencil shading, especially skin tones and cylindrical objects. What do a brick silo and someone's face have in common? Well, both of them need to look three dimensional in your drawings. You'd be surprised how dark the shadows are compared to the highlights. Below the first shading bars are the ones with the refined technique of Little Circular Strokes. This technique you just don't ever press hard. You just...If yo...

Saturday, May 12, 2012. How to Shade Flower Petals in Watercolor. Shading flower petals in watercolor is easier than it looks. Controlling edges so that some edges are clean and hard while others are soft and gradual takes combining Wet in Wet techniques (for loose, soft flowing edges) and wet on dry - by a very simple process. When the petal or leaf is finished, let it dry completely before doing an adjacent one. I moved from doing this big petal to painting the orange petals, then while they dried ...
