Welcome! I'm thrilled to have you join me on this creative journey, and I'm confident you'll find joy in the upcoming lesson. Here, we'll delve into the fundamentals of my creative process, exploring techniques such as transferring drawings to pastel paper, discovering the tools I swear by, learning to create celestial clouds, and seamlessly integrating pastel pencils into your work.
In this video, I conveniently condensed it into a one-hour edit, showcasing the highlights of the lesson. I've sped up certain sections while ensuring a detailed explanation of each step.
