I almost forgot how much fun it is to paint in pastels. Now that I found you, the spark is back. Thank you for your work, technical advice, warmth and the friendly atmosphere of your Sunday Studio. I feel inspired and ready to take my pastel boxes out of the drawer.
Painted these in 2022. This is my second soft pastel painting and it doesn't look anything like yours 🤔. Well, I tried and finished. Did a small 4½ x 6. Will post on Instagram with a link back to this video. Really enjoying this media and your channel. Thanks for sharing. Love yellow as well. 💛💛💛💛💛
I enjoy the spontaneous feel of your Sunday demos! Watching as you create a pastel from start to (almost) finish is mesmerizing and a great way to kick off my week! Thank you for posting.
I really enjoy watching the older videos, I still have so much to learn and remember going back to working with pastels! It has been over 30 years for my hiatus and I feel like a true beginner! Thank you for sharing your expertise with a lovely attitude and a joy to watch!
While cleaning out a closet, I found a bunch of pastels I forgot I had. I brought up your video and tried to follow your demonstration, 'I quickly learned why these pastels were forgotten in the closet.I really don't like working with pastels. I have been painting with acrylics for years and find that medium to be the one I love. Thank you for the great demo.
Just missed this live. I adore these videos. Like a mini workshop for me. I get inspired after each one!! Great painting with the great fall colors coming out soon! Thank you!!
Just beautiful! Love watching how you block in large areas of color and turn those areas into such amazing trees , mountains and grasses. You are an incredible artist! Thank you for sharing your talent.Wishful new student to pastels, Maxine
Thank you for answering my question, you truly are an honest, sincere person. And a great artist you got me watching for ever. If only you could come to Plano, Texas to teach in your classes where I could learn to be a better artist.
So glad you are back this week...Everytime you post a live Demonstration...I feel like I received a gift...Once again thank you so much for taking the time for doing this and thank you Michael for filming..and your fur face family for support...I hope that someday you may come to The Central Coast of California...San Luis Obispo for a workshop...we have a lot of beautiful surrounding areas here and close to us...
So enjoy your Sunday Studio series - and particularly love that Jenny adds her comments :-) Have recently moved house and pastels were packed away - but you’ve stimulated me to take them out again in a hurry :-) PS - live in George, Western Cape, South Africa (recently moved from Cape Town) Your Aspen colours are like our Wattles in Autumn - have painted them in aqua oils but now want to re-try in pastels - pity I don’t have access to Terry Ludwigs :-( Thanks for sharing.
I miss your Sunday sessions. I'm watching the old ones over and over. This one is beautiful. How do you paint bare trees in the winter. The ones that have lots of branches far away. It always looks like a hot mess when I get done.
Karen, great tutorial. I have a very yellow landscape I want to paint, so watched this for reference. I was wondering when you do your color study do you do an underpinning like you do on the main one? P.S. Loved the kitty helper at the end.
Karen, I just found this old video of yours. Great! What do you use to attach your paper to the easel? I am having trouble getting the paper to not curl at the edges.
Would you please name the favorite yellow in your stunning yellow box ! I am new to Patel and appreciate all your informations and teaching .

Beautiful colors and Trees :). Thank you for your vídeo. What do you use at the beginning to blur the beginning of the trees? I do not understand it well in the video .. uch !
I am just becoming interested in pastels. They certainly are pretty and look like fun to paint! Your painting is so beautiful! Thank you for explaining your steps so well!
Thanks for watching! We were trying not to move the camera too much because we have had complaints about that. We will zoom in at the end. You can always see a closeup of the finished painting on my blog www.karenmargulis.com
Karen, If you lock your focus on the picture then it won't zoom in and out every time you move... If you aren't sure how to do it for your camera type, just google it:-) Once you do that, It will be in perfect focus on the picture and not confused every time you move! I am loving watching you painting with pastels, I am excited to learn this new medium! Thank you!!!!!
Dessa Bailey thanks for watching and for the tips. This was shot on an iPhone as a Facebook live broadcast so I know the quality isn't great. I don't have time for these videos but still want to share so the Facebook live videos are doable at this time. I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for your comment. This was just a live informal demo that I do on Sunday afternoons in Facebook. I've had requests to make it available here despite the raw quality. I apologize for the quality and appreciate you trying to watch .

Fantastic! Bravo! Merci! 💯🤗🍀🤩😇💐
I love birch trees, great demo
Labas.Man labai patinka jusu paveikslai.Sekmes ir sveikatos
Fantastic as usual! Your Aspen colours are like our Wattles in August - though the flowers are bubbles of yellow polka dots :-)
Thanks so much for these videos. I am a beginner with pastels and there are so helpful.
I ❤Jenny. She adds a lot to the narration.🐱
I have enjoyed your demos immensely. I find myself wishing to see your finished demos with a mat put in place, however. Thanks again

What a magnificent artist
Beautiful painting! Thanks for sharing.
If I only got the reminder to not make the sky look like a parfait the video was worth my time. Fortunately I got many more tips. Thanks.
Love your videos so much. I don't even work with pastels. I work with glass!! 😃
I miss your Sunday sessions. I'm watching the old ones over and over. This one is beautiful. How do you paint bare trees in the winter. The ones that have lots of branches far away. It always looks like a hot mess when I get done.
Thanks Linda! I miss doing them. It has been a busy summer. I will keep your idea about painting bare trees in mind for a future video!
👋 Heidi, love your videos return frequently to learn. Thank you 🌺🌵😀
Karen, great tutorial. I have a very yellow landscape I want to paint, so watched this for reference. I was wondering when you do your color study do you do an underpinning like you do on the main one?
P.S. Loved the kitty helper at the end.
Great question! Sometimes I do but usually the color study is just to see the pastels I want to use and how they harmonize.
Love your work. Thank you for sharing your experience. You are wonderful! One thing please spell what u use to blend?
Pipe insulation foam. You can get it at a hardware store . I tear it into pieces.

Hello, Karen. What is the big black square you tape your painting to? thank you for another great tutorial!
Wonderful demo! I wish you would find the time to make an instructional dvd!
Thank you Karen, I ilke it very much👏👏🌺💐
You are so good. Love watching . Do you do any classes in Denver?
Thank you Sue! I don't have any scheduled for now. Hopefully in the future!
Thanks..great video for this beginner 👍
I am just becoming interested in pastels. They certainly are pretty and look like fun to paint! Your painting is so beautiful! Thank you for explaining your steps so well!
When you are going to have your workshop?
Hopefully my mid May!
Do you give workshops in the Atlanta area?
Would you please name the favorite yellow on this painting ✌️👌
Dear Karen, might be worthwhile looking into improving the way you video your lessons. Love your work ❤️
Thank you, Please look at the newer videos as well. Thanks for watching.
I noticed you are using a black board. Is that something special?
Is there any way we could see some close ups when you are painting?
Thanks for watching! We were trying not to move the camera too much because we have had complaints about that. We will zoom in at the end. You can always see a closeup of the finished painting on my blog www.karenmargulis.com

In that case, Thanks for even sharing:-) Your work is amazing!
ןI love your teaching wary
Unfortunately the video is not sharp enough and I cannot pick out the details I want.
Thanks for your comment. This was just a live informal demo that I do on Sunday afternoons in Facebook. I've had requests to make it available here despite the raw quality. I apologize for the quality and appreciate you trying to watch .
Thank you for your explanation
The sound is so bad but the lesson awesome!
On ne vois rien !
Not sure why. It is working fine here on my computer.
Stop fat shaming the tree! :)
But can you not just push record when you come back, say nothing and we just see the decisions you make to finish? Would be so helpful
I need a better set up! I am working on it.
