Why I Now LOVE Pan Pastels – Hummingbird Painting Tutorial
I first tried Pan Pastels a few years ago, and while I liked them, I found them a bit difficult to work with. Well…. now I know what I was doing wrong, and now LOVE them! So check out this lesson to find out more and join me as I paint a sweet hummingbird in flight.
I also use Iridescent pastels in this painting and you can REALLY see them sparkle! So glad you’ve joined me here and I hope you learn lots!
NOTE- You don’t have to have Pan Pastels or Iridescent pastels to follow along. As always, just use what you have matching values and colors the best you can. You can achieve a soft background even using stick pastels if you do a little blending at the initial background stages.

I’m intrigued that you find colourfix to be smooth. It seems gritty to me. There is a smooth version I like better.
love the panpastel videos
very cute 🥰
Wonderfull work Susan you are an inspiration for me!
Rebeca from Mexico!🇲🇽
I love it! It's such a beautiful and serene painting! Thank you for posting this.
The iridescent pastels would be really pretty on a dragonfly or even a fairy in a fantasy scene. 🙂
How on earth can anybody think iridescent pastels are tacky? lol That is cray-cray. I wish I had thought of using them on my hummingbird paintings. I'll try it now. Thank you for this video, Susan. I loved watching you do it and I also am enjoying panpastels, seeing they can be used in so many awesome ways. I love them for getting details on florals too. I have also tried them as background/underpainting on canvas paper that comes in pad form. I didn't think they would work on that well, but it really did. I have tried using the pans on unsanded paper without any success though, so I look forward to seeing you do that. I also have that brown paper on a roll that you mentioned about 2 years ago, but haven't been able to get any of my pastels to cling to that either. If you have a video on that, I'd love to see it. God bless and happy new year! Your painting turned out amazing. PS: I struggle with the bird's feet too. lol So hard to get them just right.
I use the applicators to smooth stick and pencil pastels. The benefit is that it works the pastel into Ingres paper whereas ofter using my fingers removes the pastel from the paper. you can also rub the applicators against stick pastels, in a similar manner to using a wet brush against watercolour pencils, and then apply to the painting. Thus you can have as many colours as you have stick pastels!
Thank you SO much! Bought Pan Pastels and then didn’t have a clue!!😊
Pretty painting Susan. Love all of your work. I've never tried pan pastels and probably won't ever. I actually like the feel of the sticks and making the Mark's with my hand, not a tool.
Thank you for your sharing 😊 what’s the tool you use at 17:30 for foreground flowers? Iridescent touches are cool… the issue I think is to find the best proportion so that they might lift up the art work.
Beautiful painting 👌 love the pan pastel's too.
Lovely painting Susan, thank you for sharing all of your ideas and techniques! I have the iridescent sticks from Schminke and some metallic sticks from Jerry’s in gold, silver, copper, etc. I have been so I’ll and once I recover I need to decide if I want to continue to work with pastels or get going on the oil painting I have spent money getting ready to go! Thank you for sharing this lovely painting with us all! Please take care and have yourself a lovely day!
Hi Susan, Do you use fixative on your finished pastel paintings? Love watching your tutorials.
I loved seeing how u used the pan pastels
I just finished a foggy forest with an elk silhouette painting. I struggled back and forth with my muted/softened background and my focal point.
I liked yours better with a much more soft muted background.
I love the sparkle! ✨️
Oh so fun! I just got a set of the Mount Vision dark iridescent pastels from Dakota pastels, and 2 small sets of blue and red half sticks from Unisom, along with the paper and board sampler packs. I'm in awe with the sets, plus got the Richeson landscape set. I'm in heaven with these products.
Love the colors you used. Always make it fun. Great teacher
Love some sparkle in life. This is beautiful.
Wonderful painting. Haven't painted in over a year. this has really inspired me to get back into it
Hi, Susan, I enjoy every piece of your tutorials and have learned a lot. The way you CREATE an artwork from a rather plain photo is amazing and inspiring. As a beginner, my problem is COPYING, not CREATE. LOL! You showed me how to use a reference photo, but not 'caged' by photos. Thank you 😂😊
Thanks again Sue you are a joy to watch love your colour choices. Pan pastels are great for backgrounds and feathers
Life does sparkle! I very much appreciate you and your work. Thanks so much, Susan. 😊
This is so beautiful!!! I actually love the iridescent colors because in reality the hummingbirds do shine. They're also my favorite bird and remind me of gentle memories with my grandmother who had hummingbird feeders and how we were fascinated with their delicate beauty. God bless you sweet lady and thank you again!
I really enjoyed this tutorial. It boosted my confidence when you talked about changes you would have made. I really like the pan pastel idea. It might help as a beginner….maybe.
I'm technologically challenged and my Facebook went into limbo. I don't even know my password it's such an old page. How do you view patreon? I have to find a kid in the neighborhood to help me out! Lol.
