Pastel portrait painting demo

Aug 24

Posted by Nkolika in Videos | No Comments

I am a big fan of pastel paint and I love paintings created with pastel. It is such a quick painting medium that can be used to create beautiful paintings very quickly. And with pastel you do not have to bother about toxic smells and fumes; which is quite unlike Oil paints; which can be quite toxic. See tips on how to use Oil paint. My love for the medium and its advantages led me to buy a set of pastel paints some time ago but I am still trying to use them (effectively).

This video is a pastel portrait painting demo by the artist: Alice McMahon. She creates beautiful art with pastels and she enjoys every minute of it too. The work is at a massive size of 6 feet by 3 feet. I hope you would enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it.

The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech~ Vincent Van Gogh

Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art~ Leonardo da Vinci

I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say ‘he feels deeply, he feels tenderly’~ Vincent Van Gogh

Wildlife paintings

It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.

Portrait works by Nkolika Anyabolu (MD)

These are some of my Oil portrait works. I haven’t done much of portraits lately (out of choice!!!). But I have several commissions to sink my teeth into in the near future. Portraits are a bit too tasking for me. I prefer the freedom that regular paintings afford. Hope you enjoy the video.

I certainly hope to sell in the course of time,but I think I shall be able to influence it most effectively by working steadily on, and that at the present moment making desperate efforts to force the work I am doing now upon the public would be pretty useless.
