Why I Now LOVE Pan Pastels! - Hummingbird Painting Tutorial

Why I Now LOVE Pan Pastels - Hummingbird Painting Tutorial

I first tried Pan Pastels a few years ago, and while I liked them, I found them a bit difficult to work with. Well.... now I know what I was doing wrong, and now LOVE them! So check out this lesson to find out more and join me as I paint a sweet hummingbird in flight.

I also use Iridescent pastels in this painting and you can REALLY see them sparkle! So glad you've joined me here and I hope you learn lots!

NOTE- You don't have to have Pan Pastels or Iridescent pastels to follow along. As always, just use what you have matching values and colors the best you can. You can achieve a soft background even using stick pastels if you do a little blending at the initial background stages.
