Hi Karen, thank you so much. You are a great artist and teacher. This video solves many of my questions. My painting skill has improved a lot through your channel.
Great video --- glad you talked about not adding too much detail too soon --- I tend to do that..... will try not looking at my reference photo until i have a start to the paining ---such great tips!
Karen, thank you so much. This info about composition and aerial perspective is something i need to hear and see over and over again, and you teach it so well! I love the tip about glassine paper to isolate the shapes. In other words, its easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The painting is beautiful, and I've learned a very valuable lesson!
Loved this lesson Karen. You are a wonderful teacher and I learned a lot. I'm going through my photos today to find one where I can use what I learned.
la meilleure. vidéo au pastel que j'ai suivi avec attention !tant. les explications sont instructives pour un pastelliste amateur (il est si difficile de peindre d’après photo) merci KAREN ; au plaisir pour la suite..
I have watched all your videos, just wanted you to know how much l appreciate you talking directly to me as you do the demo. Your explanations are awesome. Your Ludwig set is so fine, l did the demo at our gallery last week, my idea was to introduce our painting group to pastels and it went well. Thanks you for what you do, your patron page ssooo helpful. Jane
Great demo Karen, even for those of us who don't do pastel. I'm enjoying Patreon and doing thumbnails. Tomorrow will work on painting the 8x10 of the dunes.
Hi, I am learning and find your tutorials are really great, but I am so heavy handed I end up with mud. I can't seem to whisper as in your demo which was great. Is there a way to actually go really light besides thinking whisper. I know I need to practice but always still end up heavy handed. Would you have any other ideas I could use to keep from getting heavy handed please.? Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials.
Thanks for another helpful video Karen (and your team). I appreciate you helpful tips along the way about drawing. When you talk about keeping lines horizontal in the distance then vertical closer, I see you almost divided below the horizon in thirds. One third horizontal and two thirds vertical. Would that work in most cases? I suppose it is intuitive for you, but I am not experienced with landscapes and trying to figure how to make things work. I love how you made such an interesting scene from what looked to be a fairly simple photo. Would you recommend working from something simple , especially for a beginner? Thank you.
Great! I don’t think we have Dollar Trees in Vermont. And now with sheltering in place rules, it’s impossible to go anywhere and feel safe. Be safe Karen, we need you!
You use the clear gesso on your bare surface before you paint. If you try putting it over the paint it will smear the paint, it is a brush on product. She was just saying that clear gesso gives you a textured surface. Clear gesso is good if you have paper that has no “tooth” to grab the pastel.
Stampin Craze Actually, I Have put a thin layer of clear gesso over parts of my pastel painting (with a small plastic tool or scraper)...let it dry and continue with the pastels over the dried gesso for additional texture. Works great ! Other pastel artists do this also.
I watch one of your videos yesterday but cannot find it. It is you spoke and showed a medium that started as a stick form that you put on the paper than added water to create an under painting. What is this medium?
Hi Karen, I know this was 2 years ago, but if you can link to the page on your blog where the finished painting is, I would love to see it. I will try to search it some more in the meantime. Love your tutorials!
@@KarenMargulis Don't go crazy, there is a way for me to search webpages on my mac that I forgot about. Just have to look up which buttons to press, and I might be able to find it. But I am not sure.
@@watercolorgypsyartandwelln9766 I found it!! There is a search box on my blog so I searched for Sunday Studio marsh and it was the second post. Here is the link: kemstudios.blogspot.com/2018/01/new-sunday-studio-video-demo-painting.html
Your teaching style is wonderful....low key but super full of info! Thanks. Wondering is focus or quality of video could be better. Everything is sort of out of focus.
May I make a request ? Could you hold your reference photo steady for a few seconds so that a screen shot can be taken of it? I like to be able to look at the original photo as you progress to see how you interpret it. Plus, i can convert the image to a gray scale removing all color and allowing me to see only values. I think others might benefit from this too.
Great teaching as always, I just wish it was higher quality video as it sends me dizzy with it being slightly blurry. A shame that iphone only goes to 380p.

Beautiful demonstration!
That was so helpful to me. I really like how you guided us through your process. Thank you.
I love marshes, and this painting was beautiful. You are such an amazing teacher, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Karen, you are amazing. Your basic painting looks better than my finished one. thanks
You are one of my favourite artists.
Thanks for the demo and tips! I can't wait to try the glassine tip. And the straight line/ angle tip for creating banks is very helpful.
Thanks for a very informative demonstration of values. Beautifully done.
Tremendous beauty - and inspired pastel work Karen! Thank you:0
So many good tips in one video session, thank you so much!
Thanks Karen, another great tutorial.
Thank you Karen so beautiful!
Love your demonstrations and hope you will do some on ocean shores

Have never tried pastels, feeling inspired 8)

Thank you! I'd say you are right about where to change stroke direction. Good observation!
Amazing, thanks for sharing and get more
Спасибо, Карен!!
Great job as usual, Karen? I am setting up my studio. What is that black board you have as your base on the easel?
Thanks! It is just black foam core board that I get at the Dollar Tree. I use black artist tape to attach my paper to the board.
Great! I don’t think we have Dollar Trees in Vermont. And now with sheltering in place rules, it’s impossible to go anywhere and feel safe. Be safe Karen, we need you!
When you mentioned using clear gesso, did you mean you use it over the partially finished painting and then paint over it?
Yes, I was going to ask the same question, thanks Joan!

I’d love to have this hanging in my home. I could float for hours.
great art.... just disappointing that it's not shown in HD.
Muy buenos, pero me gustaría que vinieran subtitulados en español
How important is it to do an under painting?
amazing

Too bad she didn't marry her friend. you can tell he was fond of her, and would have been good to her.
