Light over dark with coloured pencils on Pastelmat

One of the things coloured pencil artists find challenging is being able to layer light over dark. It's a case of planning most of the time and keeping your light areas clean of pigment.

But with Clairefontaine Pastelmat you can get light over dark - and many coloured pencil artists are now trying pastelmat with that in mind.

In this video I show you how light over dark can work extremely well to help with highlights. The best white I've found is the Caran D'Ache Museum Aquarelle White - a bright white that really does show up over darker colours.

If you'd like to see more of my tutorials, real time with full voice over then have a look at my Patreon channel - I've got hundreds of hours of coloured pencil tutorials and you'd also join a fabulous community of artists, all helping and supporting each other.
