Thanks a lot

I wouldn't trust their lightfast claims, how can they be so cheap and lightfast? Anyone familiar with art supplies knows how expensive the professional ranges are due to the cost of the tests and pigments. Stick to Luminance and Derwent Lightfast if you plan on selling originals.

I am working with Woomer pencils and I like them very much. They are close to my S. Farben oil based pencils. Please note that I am a rank beginner. Thank you for bringing the Woomer pencils to our attention.

In your opinion, what is the best board, paper, etc for pan pastels? For doing portraits. Thank you.

This tutorial is awesome! Thank you so much for going through your process step by step and explaining what you are doing and why. Please do more botanical tutorials like this. I learn so much from you.

Great advice.

I noticed that you didn't mention pastel pencils. Would they work well over pan pastels?

Thanks for this video. Very informative!

I think you are so talented. I have never seen anyone draw as well as you do. I will be watching as much as I can of your work.

👍✌️🙏❤

Solid advices there! Good job on the portraits too!!!

I listened to your discussion of the Woomer colored pencils and ordered them on Amazon. Thank you for providing information about them.

I like when you show us the photo beside your drawing...it allows me to understand why you make the choices you do.

Are the Woomer oil or wax based?

Wow! You've convinced me to give it another try with solvent. I think I just need to practice and play around with it more to see what it can do for me. Thanks!

In another of your videos I commented how I don't like using solvent because it takes control away, but I'm re-thinking it now. The way your use the solvent for the first pass color to set the tones, then once it's dry you go over it again and again with more color and more detail. I'm going to watch your Solvents video and give it another try. Thanks for helping me.

I use your process as well and map in the darks and lights first. One thing I don't do, however, is use solvents. I have tried many of them and find that it removes the "control" I like so much about coloured pencils, I'm a very tight worker which works both to my advantage and disadvantage. I do like burnishing though since it is a very controlled process. I'd love to see you do more botanicals, the rose is beautiful and I have learned a lot from watching this video.

Great video. You mentioned you like to use CP+solvent for your early stages of a drawing, since it fills in the white specks of the paper. Using a layer of watercolor paint underneath would do the same thing though, yes? So, as a watercolor artist, I'm trying to figure out if there's any advantage to me adding Gamsol to my process when making a colored pencil drawing. Any advice? Thanks!

Very creative! Your skin tones are beautiful.

Thank you! I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge and expertise. Your enthusiasm for your work is inspiring. Three beautiful portraits. God bless you!

This is very interesting drawings.

Wow! Your painting of the rose with the lightfast budget Woomer pencils looks gorgeous! So impressive! The Holbein rose is also lovely, but I think I prefer the Woomer rose for its vibrancy and contrast . So interesting that you find the Woomer quality superior to Prismacolor. Thank you for experimenting with something new and doing it with integrity. God bless you!

Lovely paintings and colors.!I like how the colors were similar over the three. I wonder if the solvent will damage your paper and pigments over time. The use of water with (lightfast) Derwent watercolour pencils or perhaps ("exceptional lightfastness") Faber Castell Albrecht Durer water color pencils would be gentler on the paper and pigments. Thank you for the demonstration on 100% cotton papers and sharing your expertise and talents. God bless you!

THIS IS SO AMAZING IN EVERY WAY! Ur my favorite channel, and I'm not even an artist!

This is a great insight regardless of medium, actually. I'll be applying this, thank you!

This channel is one of the biggest treasure troves!

Nice idea but they cost $79 on Amazon in Australia.

What a fantastic video, and portrait!!!

I really love watching you create. Your end results are divine!! Loving the vivid colors of this budget set! Thx for sharing ❤

Do you find you like this better than UArt for colored pencils? I have a roll of UArt for my pastel portraits, but I'm in the middle of a very long recovery from surgery, so I've picked up colored pencil drawing/painting because it's clean. I bought the full set of Luminance and Polychromos since I do sell my art and have to stick with lightfast and archival materials. Have you tried UArt sanded paper and if so, how do they compare in your opinion?

The in depth explanations of these more “challenging” colors is such a gift. Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for awhile for vids specifically about white, cream, yellow…. And you have appeared now with incredible teaching! Thank you! Subscribed! ❤🖍

Thank u so much for this video! Most videos throw so much info and steps at u that it becomes overwhelming and is so much to take in, u explained each step so well! Also not everyone can afford to pay for detailed tutorials when starting out so its hard to find good help for free, this was easy to follow and easy understand as a beginner. 💚

Great info. As a learner i appreciate it

This is Amazing. I love them both but like the lighter color in first one. I appreciate the depth you go to in explaining how to do this. I have trouble with choosing my colors and would love to be able to color as wonderfully as you do but that's way in future....maybe. Thank you for referring me to this video and now I'm off to binge your other videos.

Who isn’t layering their prismacolors or other similar pencils?! That’s the whole point to using them…

I immediately went to amazon and purchased these pencils. You are such an amazing artist. It was so nice to get something that is approved like an expert artist like you. Thank you! Even though I didn’t need to get it (oh by the way it had gone up a couple of dollars to $30 something when I bought them) but there isn’t that satisfaction that even a cheaper pencil can do such an amazing job. I am so glad I found your channel and follow your tutorials. Thank you again.

Does this work with watercolour pencils too? Thanks 🙏🏻

I haven't done many coloured pencil drawings yet, but watching this I noticed that I already instinctively used this method every time.

booooooo they don't ship to the UK

Hello ! Thank you very much for your excellent training. I am one of your fans from Iran. I would like to ask you to enable the Persian captions, so that we Iranians can understand your explanations well. Thank you 🙌❤️

Loved your creativity and had to laugh at someone thinking the "non colour" of white & black as cheating... 😅

I’m about to embark on my first attempt at Panpastels. Your video was very I formative and you are easy to listen to . Thank you.

Nice

Do not get them from Blick that is ridiculou price. Just a few months ago they were only 375 at Blick but even that is too high in my opinion. I imported mine from Japan for $260 dollars on Amazon Japan at the time. You can get them from Discovery Japan for $218 right now. Blick is just crazy and killing the Holbein pencil market here in US and I do not understand why-they don't over charge other Holbein products, (maybe a little) I get Holbein pastels and gouache products all the time- this price gouge should be illegal.

‏Very excellent and unique😇

There have been several questions about lightfastness. Here is what Woomer shared with me, along with a pdf of their formal testing that included pictures and standardization of their process (not sure how to share that here... sorry) From Woomer: The report rates from 1 to 5, where 5 indicates the highest level of lightfastness and 1 the lowest. This differs from the more common 1-8 scale. Our tests, including those detailed in the GST report, primarily adhere to the ASTM D6901 standard. Below, I've outlined the main standards used for measuring lightfastness to provide a clearer understanding: **ASTM D6901-15 for Colored Pencils:** - **Range**: I to V - **Details**: - **Category I**: Excellent lightfastness - **Category II**: Very good lightfastness - **Category III**: Good lightfastness - **Category IV**: Fair lightfastness - **Category V**: Poor lightfastness **Blue Wool Scale (European Standard EN ISO 105):** - **Range**: 1 to 8 (with 8 being the highest degree of lightfastness) - **Details**: A higher number indicates better resistance to light-induced fading.

Here is the follow up video I mentioned of another rose done with the $28 colored pencils! Check it out and let me know which you prefer!!! ua-cam.com/video/20itifIhpn0/v-deo.html

I have never seen them marketed as an "oil" based pencil but I got mine from Japan almost 5 yrs ago. They are a blend of oil, wax and fat. Very unique and my favorite pencil. Like you said Luminance will crumble too and so do Prisma so this does not bug me at all. The key with Holbein is knowing how to use them properly on the lay down, the application of the stroke is more particular than other pencils but you get used to it after a while. They are different and I like that difference, SO saturated and beautiful. They work beautifully on top of a Poly Chromos underlayer (which also works well with Meltz).

this was beautiful and i like to draw like this also :)

Hmm, I was looking for their Hompage but couldn't find it, can you provide the Link? I would also like to know what system of testing lightfastness did they use. Because (I think Lachri did a Video about the Holbein ones, and they use a totally made up system). And the only way I found you can buy these, is always as a complete Set. So if I use up 1 or 2 Colors, I have to spend 30 Bucks for one or two pencils - seems extremly price for me. I would still recommend a smaller set from an established company like Derwent, Caran d'Ache or Faber Castell, if you care about lightfastness and buying your pencils open stock. These pencils are cheep for a reason and there is definitely a catch. Testing for lightfastness is a long and expensive process, and they claim to do that for a childrens product.... Sorry, but I don't believe them. And someone definitely doesn't need to spend 560 Bucks on CP to paint. But with the established brands you can start with a small set for the same money and stock up the colors you want step by step.
