Painting a Realistic Beach Sunset Scene | Soft Pastel Tutorial Walkthrough

Learn how to use soft pastels and pastel pencils to create a realistic scenery artwork. I absolutely adore creating & looking at scenery / landscape artworks and a love of mine is watching the gorgeous sunset over Tregantle beach in south England near to where I live. The reference photo for this tutorial was taken by myself at Tregantle.

● As mentioned in the video, this walkthrough is a sped up version of my 7+hr tutorial on Patreon:   / sunset-beach-98714368  

Covered in this tutorial:

○ How to mix and combine pastel pencil colours for a desired outcome
○ How to break down the complex reference image into manageable sections
○ My continuous thoughts, tips, methods & techniques throughout.
