Thank you for this. I could not watch live but really enjoyed the replay. I learn a lot from watching you work - particularly since our styles are very different.
Crazy beautiful!! Alain you are the maestro of the expressive pastel mark and gorgeous glowing colors! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours 🎄🎉🧑🏻🎨🙌 Thanks so much for sharing
Wow I love the way you teach. I am truly inspired to give this ago. I would have blended the colors and ruined the shine. Thank you for your time. I love pastels.
Enjoyed watching you work on this beautiful pastel painting. Thank you Alain for sharing your knowledge of colors . I am learning so much from your tutorials.
I love the napkin-tip technique, Alain. That really made it look nice and blurry-soft. I love it! Beautiful! I was itching until you put in the suggestion of some of the pine tips. lol
Hullo Alain! A wonderful painting and an amazing ornament too! Watching you create marks with such ease gives us hope to one day being able to so as well! Thank you Sir and Happy Holiday's to you and your family!

I still struggle with composition and values...
Forbidden pomegranate.
Would this same painting work if I use a black non-sanded surface instead of a warm sienna sanded surface?
It can work, you will have to manage the layering on a non sanded surface as it wont hold as much pastel. Dark surfaces are exciting
