Everybody, this is Open Thoughts once again for tips on how to draw. I received another question from an individual and they wanted to know if pastel is great on canvas. Now I have two things to say to that. One, yes, two if you know how to do it. Now for me I found pastel when I first started working on it just testing out. You know, try it out yourself if you feel pastel on canvas is not the best. Unless you layer in layer and spray and layer in layer and layer and spray. Use a fixative a lot. You're going to have to spray a lot. And sometimes with fixative it kind of sprays off the extra tones. I wouldn't recommend using pastel on canvas even though I have used it. But it's a very continuous thing and it also wears out. Most likely what you would want to use pastel with is paper. Nice, you know, a nice style of paper. It works very well. I've used it several times, multiple times over and over. And I found that it does work out for me. So paper most likely would be your suggestion instead of using it on a canvas. Because the canvas it does work but you're going to have to continuously fix it over and over again. I would most likely use paint acrylic, you know, soft paint, soft watercolor, you know, anything like that. I mean if you could find a way to use it. One way I found and a nice technique that I did find on one image was you have to repaint over the surface of the canvas with a nice white. And it works pretty well. That's one thing I did find now that does work with pastel. So if you can do that, if you feel that that's what you want to use and you want to put it on the canvas, then go ahead do it. I suggest you guys to try it and tell me what you think about it. So I hope that answered your question. And you know, coming back, subscribe, everything, you know, so we can keep teaching you guys how we feel about art. So thank you for tuning in and you know, just keep creative.
