Chalk Pastels for Beginners - Video Tutorial

I am working my way through my rewrite of Harmony Fine Arts Grade 4 and found the need for some very basic chalk pastel videos. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I decided make two videos of my own to post on YouTube and link to for the plans. Chalk Pastels Video #1

Hopefully someone here can benefit from learning a bit about chalk pastels and even a little artist study for Picasso. Side note: I think Jacqueline with Flowers shows her with blue hair and my kids think that she has a blue hat....you can leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Here is the painting: Jacqueline with Flowers.

If you want to see all my art related videos, I have them all on a separate blog: Harmony Fine Arts.



Look for supplies like these at your local art supply store.

Very nice, Barb. I will show this to my daughter and I know already she'll run to our pastels and start working.

Jacqueline was Spanish? Um....raven black hair can have a blue shine?

I think Jacqueline has both blue hair under a cap--like a Greek mariner's cap.

Just wondering, for true beginners (Prek to K5), what do you recommend if our art budget is limited--chalk pastels or watercolor pencils?
We have markers and generic colored pencils, but I'd really like to have them experiment with something different.

If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely pick watercolor pencils. You can use them in a variety of ways and they are far easier to control for beginners. You also don't have the mess. :)
