Paint a Glowing Meadow | Lightwish 72 Soft Pastels Review & Tutorial

Join me as I put the ‪@Lightwish-official‬ 72 Soft Pastel Set to the test by creating a glowing meadow landscape from start to finish! This is my first time using these pastels, so you'll get to see my honest first impressions as I explore their color range, softness, blending ability, hardness, and overall performance while painting this luminous sunset scene. In this soft pastel painting tutorial, I'll share what I like (and don't like) about the Lightwish pastels, demonstrate how they perform in a complete landscape painting, and show you how I build layers of color to create glowing light, atmospheric distance, and soft meadow grasses. You'll see the entire real-time painting process—including the decisions, adjustments, and problem-solving that naturally happen along the way. This tutorial is perfect for beginner and intermediate pastel artists who want to improve their color choices, learn more about soft pastel techniques, and see an honest, unedited painting process unfold in real time. ☕ Support My Art & Channel: https://buymeacoffee.com/jillvanderpoel FREE Reference Photo: https://unsplash.com/photos/green-gra...
