Cupcake with Pastels - Real-time Art Instruction

***
***
In this video, we draw a cupcake with pastels and pastel pencils on PastelMat paper in one sitting. The entire process of drawing and refining is included so that you can draw along and create your own version of the drawing. Start with a sketch of the contour lines before layering pastel applications.

I have found it difficult to find a tutorial that shows the whole process of a topic. This type of video is like going to an art class. I find that this tutorial has taught me exactly how to use pastels in a drawing. The reason for a tutorial is to teach the whole lesson not just bits and pieces. I enjoyed your tutorial and would like to see more of these lessons. You are a great teacher and I have learned so much from your videos.

I love this idea! Please do more of these using different media.

I've been drawing with graphite and charcoal for years but I recently wanted to try colored pencils and pastels. This video popped up and I subscribed immediately! So many "how to" videos just show 10 minutes explaining briefly and showing stages of a drawing. I absolutely love the long real-time follow along with commentary style of this video. I'm excited to start, thank you for your videos and channel!

I love this new idea! Gettin' Sketchy is great for fun and learning, this format is great as a practice-along. Thanks for trying it, I hope you'll do more.

Your membership program saved my life when I was teaching a full year of art for high schoolers thank you so much for your dedication to art!!!!


Now I am brushing up on my drawing skills with your real time videos !

I like the real time view. Thank you! I also enjoyed the sketchy series.

If you are going to call this a ‘paint/draw along’ then please leave the photo reference on screen at all times for us

[maridutoit]

Yes, please. This is informative and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, talent and teaching.

I really enjoyed this video. This format of sitting down & watching it from beginning to end makes me slow down & enjoy the process

[amygermaine]

I love this format. For me, the real time video is helpful in encouraging me to sit down for a similar length session instead of immediately thinking that I can't do this at all. I also love the pertinent info that you give along the way.

Outstanding video. I simply can not draw. I practiced for years every day and took classes. I watched and followed videos and finally gave up!
Your videos are fantastic, and enjoy your personality.
I saw a comment about the background music. I love music and interestingly this music stressed me😂 It is mysterious.
Thank you.

I like both formats. The back and forth between you and the other artist is fun. I believe I would be more likely to draw along with this one. I don't know why.

You did a great job drawing the cupcakes to make them look delicious🤤

[joemomma]

I lost my mother who was an art teacher, then its like it went to me, since I used to draw while I was in school and loved it. Then lost my wife in January so drawing gets my mind off things. You have been a big influence and inspiration for me, I hear I'm getting a lot better, I guess I am my only critic. Even though I know they're just being nice but thank you

Hi Matt, Amazing how you keep coming up with new and interesting ways to present real, real-time instruction. A really great job of instruction over the
actual work. Im a long time subscriber and while the medium is not always my favorite I watch anyway. tomee

This is the news I needed today because I’m sick and miserable with on off season flu. I’m really excited for this format because I struggle the most with being patient and taking the time to develop the painting I want to make. So I think this will keep me focused so I can develop the habits I need to improve. Thank you so much! Also, I don’t want gettin’ sketchy to go away, so I vote for both formats.

[celinem]

Great video, as always! I found the various camera angles very useful. It gave a better 'read' of the colours and of the actual size of the drawings.

[kathypenrod]

Love this type of format. I will definitely be watching for more.

[debcarroll]

I specifically seek out real time tutorials. I enjoy not being rushed and having to hit pause all the time. Although, I have painted along with gettin sketchy. I never miss an episode. There is much to be said for both. If I have to chose I’ll go with real time. I enjoy painting along with friends.

I really liked doing this kind of content Matt.... can't wait for the next one...
