THANKYOU Karen . These are the only lessons I can get. My life circumstances make it impossible to afford them! Your hints and tips are everything. I memorise them when painting. Your service, generosity and years of experience are greatly received, giving all a chance to grow artistically .
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials. You make viewers feel as though they are present in your studio. It's a joy to learn from an artist with your talent.
Thank you for another wonderful demonstration, Ms Margulis. Aside from the physical painting technique, it's great to hear your thought process in the way you envision, plan and execute a painting. BTW.....the camera work here, much like the painting, was fantastic!
Oh, my gosh! when you added that hillside! wowee!. I wonder if I could ever do what you do, even if I learn the technique, your 'eye' is so amazing. Oh well. Fun to watch.
Hi Karen. Thanks for uploading yet another terrific lesson! Your handling of the pastels is amazing to me. I am getting back into pastels after working with them some 40 years ago. Back then, I had very limited instruction. Now, I am learning so much from you!! But whenever I try applying a light color over a dark, it just mixes together and I get a muddy shade. Must be the paper I'm using, which is not high grade pastel paper like U-Art.
Bjr, Est-ce que tu peins au pastel toi aussi? J'en fais un loisir et peut être pourrions nous partager des critiques et des astuces sur ce que nous peignons? Qu'en dis-tu?
I'm a subscriber! You got me, even though I paint acrylics, I'm learning a few things about color and composition, my mother use to do pastels, once she did a 8x8 of Noahs ark and someone threw it away, we never did find out who, she quit after that. I would have sued. (That's 8x8 feet)
WOW, BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS. YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING SO EVEN A NOVICE LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW YOU. THANKYOU SO MUCH. DO YOU SELL DVDS OF HOW TO PAINT IN PASTELS.? IF NOT YOU SHOULD. Lynda from New Zealand
I am impressed with your pastel paintings and the usefulness of your videos. Although I have experience with graphite drawing, I want to try my hand with color and have been considering using soft pastels. However, I am concerned about the pastel dust and mess because I do not have a studio or isolated area in my apartment. I also have a very inquisitive cat. Thus I thought that maybe I should try pastel pencils (Faber-Castell PITT) or even colored pencils (Faber-Castell Polychromes). What is your opinion on starting with pastel pencils or colored pencils rather than soft pastels? Also, do you think it is better to go with pastel pencils or colored pencils? Thanks for any information you could provide to me.
Hi! I'm Italian, I come from Tuscany. I'm very interested at your technique. I would like to try Could you kindly tell me the brand of your pastels? I would like to buy them on Amazon...thanks for the answer... Arrivederci
" I'm going to put a little yellow up in the sky. I'm not going to keep the sky yellow but I'll just put a little bit up there." This is a mystery. I don't understand the rationale for putting yellow in the sky at all ever. You say that you leave a bit of the yellow showing through the sky color to create interest, but why yellow?? Because it echoes other yellows found elsewhere in the scene? I suppose that since you establish your palette before hand, there are only a few possible choices for the sky undercolor and the yellow has the same value as the sky. As I'm writing this, I'm helping myself understand what I didn't understand when I started !! In your reference photo ,the line of vegetation runs from lower left to upper right. But in your piece, it seems to change direction. Did that just happen by chance? You paint landscapes and I see the process that takes you from the blank page to a developed image. Do you ever paint other scenes like still lifes or figures? Does your landscape process apply to those formats? I hope you will respond........
I find it sad that the painting got finished off camera. In the thumbnail you can see the finished painting, I would have liked to see the whole process not 2/3.
Thanks for watching. If you'd like to see the finished painting along with the commentary on how I finished it you can find it on my blog:kemstudios.blogspot.com/2018/02/new-winter-landscape-video-available.html

Hi! I'm Italian, I come from Tuscany. I'm very interested at your technique. I would like to try Could you kindly tell me the brand of your pastels? I would like to buy them on Amazon...thanks for the answer... Arrivederci
I use many brands but my favorite brand is Terry Ludwig pastels. I also use Unison and Diane Townsend. I appreciate you watching my video!
Hello Karen, thanks for your advice...just another question.... I would like to know on which paper/stuff do you paint?
" I'm going to put a little yellow up in the sky. I'm not going to keep the sky yellow but I'll just put a little bit up there."
This is a mystery.
I don't understand the rationale for putting yellow in the sky at all ever.

You paint landscapes and I see the process that takes you from the blank page to a developed image.
Do you ever paint other scenes like still lifes or figures?
Does your landscape process apply to those formats?
I hope you will respond........
Mam ,I am of 11 years I want to make an beautiful watercolor scenery.Mam please help me.
