Absolutely stunning painting of that gorgeous parrot!!! ❤ So lovely to watch - and inspiring! 🎨 Velour is so special - and it was so nice to see it being used as a pastel surface again! 🙏 There is nothing quite like it... ✨️ Thank you! ⚘️

Very helpful, thank you! My velour paper was delivered today, haven't used it yet, so your video is definitely a help.

Can you use Panpastels on Velour?

@LindaSparks-uf6bt 3 years ago

Use compressed canned air to erase on velour. For tiny spots. Use an ear bulb.

Amazing, l have not produced a piece of art work in years. Thanks to you l have just ordered some materials and am looking forward to making a start. Thank you so much.

That is fanTAStic! I love watching you work! I was/am an artist and have had work nabbed by galleries and sold so some small talent is there. But I never had the nerve to do this professionally or maybe I should say as my primary income. One of the things I have discovered watching you work is that you increase your detail and you create several more layers than I did. I would quit before I put in too much and ruined it, but your extra layers add more detail and complete the piece. You don’t teach, you encourage. I don’t study, I just watch. The end result, though, is that I am learning a lot simply watching you. Thank you for your encouragement!!!

Only just came across this video and I loved it, keep it up. Good stuff. Will check out all the other videos.

Loving your pastel on velour, thank you - I've had my velour for a couple of months but after seeing your demonstration - I'm going in. I love your style and descriptions. Really helpful thank you.

I have a few pastel pencils, this makes me sooo curious

And lol to using a hoover to “erase” , people can be pretty creative indeed

@watercolourartincapetown2919 5 years ago

Stunning 🐦 !! Found you over on the frugal crafter!

@candicecurran6834 6 years ago

Love your videos! I such bad headaches since drawing i think its because im siting at a desk and probably sloutching.....do you work off an easel standing up then for most of your drawing time? Thanks!

@doreenlorenzo2501 6 years ago

@doreenlorenzo2501 6 years ago

Kerry, you’ve done a beautiful job with this painting. Love the way you explain wht you’re doing and why. I’ll be watching this tutorial several times, then I’m going to try to follow along and create one. So lovely this. Kerry, would you please consider doing a tutorial on male lions and wolves? That would be so appreciated if you would. Thank you for sharing your talent with those of us who would like ti improve our pastel painting process!

Loved this video. Easy to listen to and understand the process.

@margaretbrownhill1193 7 years ago

I’m just watching this again, your instructions are so good, I’m plucking up the courage to do a swallowtail butterfly Thst I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I got myself a Mahle stick it will not only stop my hand resting on what I’ve already done but will keep my hand steady too lol. I have been following you with interest and look forward hopefully to you doing more videos

Ok, now this is my favorite!😁 You are amazing!! You make it look like it's as easy as a paint by number but, I know it isn't that simple! Absolutely gorgeous!! Where do you find the velour paper? I've never seen it before!
