The painting in this video was completed on Canson Mi-Teintes Velvet paper. It measures 12 x 12 inches. You can download my FREE painting guides here: https://www.lenarivo.com/free-guides I work with soft pastels from various brands: Terry Ludwig, Unison, Girault, Schmincke, Sennelier, Blue Earth, Diane Townsend, Rembrandt and Roche. When choosing pastels, I’m drawn to muted, nuanced colors. I think I only use reds and blues in their fully saturated form - most other colors, especially greens, are quite grayish.
