    Karen, I love the fact that you take the time to explain WHY you are using hard pastels, or the fact that you don't normally "start" with a compositional scheme. You share your insights, instead of just showing us how to paint. You are amazing. Thank you for your generosity!

    I've become a patron since last month. I've also had a big issue with patience and ugliness of my paintings. I've learned that sometimes to achieve something good and beautiful you have to start with a very terrible looking start. I love how you never skip parts when painting, its very encouraging to see it being painted bit by bit and having your voice to guide us. You are a great teacher Karen

    Karen,
    You are a wonderful artist and an excellent teacher unlike many artists who struggle with communicating their techniques and decision making to the student. I believe everything I create talks to me about what it wants to become and I respond... Its a conversation, even spagetti sauce. Does that make me a real artist??? I don't know, but I do know that you give me a lot of courage to follow my instincts!
    Please keep making TH-cam videos for us, we learn much from your generous heart.
    I do have 2 questions:
    1. The video info says you used Terry Ludwigs but you used Sennelier pastels right?
    2. It seems you did go back in with some finishing marks in bright orange, yes?
    Thank you so much

    Karen, I am a member of your patron page, and I would like to know how I can see your finished demo paintings and be able to keep working on them , after your demo is finished, so I can take my time and not rush trying to paint along with you? Maybe how can I view just your painting after it is finished and keep it on the screen? Hope you can understand what I am trying to say. Lol

    • @KarenMargulis
      @KarenMargulis  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure! There is a pause feature/button under the video so you can hit the pause anytime you need to stop to catch up. I always have the finished painting at the end of the video so you can pause the screen at the end to keep the painting up on your screen.
