Chicken Painting in PanPastel LIVE today!

| thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich

Hi friends! Just a quick post to let you know that I will have a live painting tutorial on YouTube at 12:30pm ET. Please watch it on the YouTube watch page if you want to ask questions or chat with fellow painters! This is what we will paint:

I call it a “Tribute to Rosie.” While I was working up this painting in PanPastels I realized that you can totally do this with oils or acrylics.  I think the reason I like PanPastels is because the painting methods are so similar but I don’t have to bother squeezing out paint or wasting it because it won’t dry out. I can paint as quickly as I like or take my time and my colors will not change. If you have any questions about my materials you can ask them to me during the live show, I am super excited! You can watch the show on the player below but if you want to chat please catch it live on YouTube. I will also share lots of tips and tricks! It will be recorded though so you can rewatch it again if you like;)

This live broadcast is sponsored by Snapfish! Why not have your artwork printed on travel mugs, ornaments, pillows or throws for gifts this holiday season. Or make up a wall calendar, you can even have a print of your painting made into a jigsaw puzzle or jewelry, how cool! So many options at the click of your mouse, don’t wait, deadline for Christmas delivery is December 14th.

  6. That was AMAZING!
    And fun to watch, makes me want to get my pastel chalks out and use them again …..

    BTW, I started out with Schmincke watercolors but switched over to W&N by and by … their paints are more transparent, I think. I only use Schmincke when W&N doesn’t have a similar hue, like Paynes Gray blue .. it’s nicer than the usual Payne’s Gray, more colorful.

    When I started using pastel chalks I had the Faber-Castel chalks. I also had the corresponding tin of Faber-Castel pastel pencils to sketch the outlines or for details. I liked it that the colors have the same number so I always had the right colors. They aren’t as soft as Schmincke but less messy. But it is more like drawing than painting compared to Pan Pastels.

    Thanks for doing these Live videos, what a nice start to a weekend! The Best!
