Susan. Great video on tiny painting's. I haven't painted in quite a while, lots of things going on, sometimes I feel like I've lost my touch. Going to order some colorfix paper and play around on some regular paper till my order comes. Have a wonderful day 🌄
What a great way to just have fun and go For it! I used pastels when I was about 12-14 years old, but Watching you painting with pastels has inspired me to give a second try, now that I am 46 🙂. I ordered some pastels and paper and Look forward to try. Thank you Susan!!!
Wow! Your demo was from my reference photo on PMP. I’ve followed your TH-cam channel and instagram for several years and love and appreciate your lessons and work. A nice surprise to see you paint from that image.
How wonderful! Which one was your photo? I try so hard to follow the rules of PMP and I don’t think they want me mentioning the photographers names, but I always give a link so people can find them from my PMP profile. How fun and I’m so glad you shared that with me.
Oh, now I see from your user name that your “mountain girl”. Guess what, I’m a mountain girl too! Your photo was absolutely gorgeous and it was the one that my patrons chose out of other photos.
What fun this was. Very inspiring too. And looks like a lovely way to ease back into painting if you haven't painted in a while and feel stuck. Thanks so much!
I just loved this! I really like painting / drawing small anyway and this is such a great idea for practising and not wasting so much paper. I have found since reigniting my art that i like small and I learned so much from this ~ Thank you once again Susan.
Great ideas, Susan. Time to PAINT FOR JOY and FUN! (Just a little FYI Reminder to pastellists .. that if you use someone else's photos you cannot submit to many national and international shows.)
Very nice! Wish you would describe what colours you are using though. E.g. a little written pop-up each time you change the pastel you are using. Being red/green colour blind I struggle to work out what you are using a great deal of the time.
I love ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and do little pastel minis, so this is great Susan. I believe they stopped making the Colorfix trading cards, but I just cut them out. Thank you - I was going to ask you about your business cards. I love them!
Susan, this is such a beautiful presentation! I did not catch the name of your website. Is it P and P .com? I tried all different variations on Google; but, all were incorrect. Looking forward to viewing more of your work, and many thanks, C.
@@monetcafe it's always a great lesson and relaxation that I get after solving problems and then seeing your videos. They're always mesmerizing and helpful, I wish I could've recovered so that I wouldn't have missed alot. It was lord's will,he wanted me to learn a new lesson in my life. Prayers for the mum. Love from India ❤️
I was wondering, what pastels would you recommend for beginner. My style is kinda like Paul Cezanne or Gauguin . Thats what my daughter says. I like doing still life. I’m having trouble with landscapes . I love landscapes . Ok thanks for your TH-cam I’m glad I found it.
Thanks for your comment, and I really need to make a video on Beginner recommendations. I always recommend buying half-stick sets when possible (because you get twice the colors for your money). I'm not sure what your budget is, but one of my favorite half-stick sets with an awesome assortment of colors and values is Unison 120 Half Stick set. It's around $320, but they have smaller sets available too. Unison is a great pastel because they are soft, but not too soft. I'll send you a link and you can check the different sets from Dakota Pastel... (I love this company because they have just about anything you can order having to do with pastel painting). Have fun! www.dakotapastels.com/product/unison-120-half-assorted?cat=268&idsku=10631
Super lovet! What can I use if I don't have the acrylic ink, can I use the regular acrylic or watercolour for underpainting? Also, I have only lmtd colours of my soft pastels, can I use oil pastels, instead?
Hi there.... if you don't have acrylic ink, you can tone your surface (as long as it's a water-friendly surface) with watercolor or a light coat of acrylic paint. You can even use pastel that you can use to lightly tone the paper and then use a brush to wet with water or alcohol. You could also simply blend the pastel layer by using a paper towel to create a nice tone prior to painting. There's lots of options. Yay!
9.15 and 12.05: The liquids shown here are acrylic ink by Daler Rowney. I don't think she dilutes the pastel with them. She puts the ink on the paper and then puts the pastel on top of the ink. The pigment in the bowl at 12.20 is just the acrylic ink. I hope you understand this! I think I understand your question but my French is not good so have replied in English.
Please don’t refer to what you do as “content”. It makes it sound like we have meaningless lives and all “content creators” do is fill up the time. I love your work and I love this video, though. Trendiness is always the enemy of art. Remember that.
@@Regulus1999 thanks sweetie… You are absolutely correct. I always try to mention where I got the reference image from and provide the link. I’m pretty sure the PMP website doesn’t want me mentioning the photographers name. That’s why I just provide the link.

Lovely idea.. tiny is a great way to have fun 🇫🇷👏👏👍
Thank you, Susan. Just watching you use those big chunks of pastel in a small area, was so helpful.
Thanks for all the tips. I really liked the yellow flowers and the poppies.
Susan... This was an awesome lesson in tiny painting. I hope I can get this right. I'm looking forward to getting started. Thank you again.

Exactly right Terrilynn. Thanks for the reminder. I usually try to remember to mention this if I’m doing more serious pieces. 👏👏💜😊

Hi Chaya.... it’s pmp-art.com
Have fun!!
and 'cause I didn't have any acrilic inks I just used graphic markers and it worked just as good as your inks👍
Thnx for this beautiful video, I really loved every second of it.
Keep posting more 😊

I just checked Amazon and lots of artist trading cards. One might have to use clear gesso though. I’ll need to really check out all the papers.
Awesome, have fun! I love tiny painting.

Thanks for this Susan. Great painting as always as is the tip about the acrylic ink. I like the music. What is it?

@@monetcafe Thank you so much ma'am! You're an inspiration to us really! I will watch this over and over! 😘 Bless you more!
Susan have you ever used pan pastel? What did you think of it? I have quite a few colors and they are beautiful to lay down as under paintings.
I love pan pastels but I often forget to use them. And yes, my typical strategy with them is to create underpaintings.
I am interested in the free art references. Would it be on the same website? Thanks, again.
Yes, the site www.pmp-Art.com has some lovely copyright free reference images 😊
Hello Susan, can you use watercolour as an underpainting?
etant française je ne saisis pas toutes vos videos !!! avec quoi diluez vous le pastel quand vous le mouillez ??eau ,alccol ?white spirit ?
9.15 and 12.05: The liquids shown here are acrylic ink by Daler Rowney. I don't think she dilutes the pastel with them. She puts the ink on the paper and then puts the pastel on top of the ink. The pigment in the bowl at 12.20 is just the acrylic ink. I hope you understand this! I think I understand your question but my French is not good so have replied in English.

Can't wait to get started with these.!!! Your voice is so up-beat,and leading you into a special place........sigh
why do you always choose a palette beforehand
Please don’t refer to what you do as “content”. It makes it sound like we have meaningless lives and all “content creators” do is fill up the time. I love your work and I love this video, though.
Trendiness is always the enemy of art. Remember that.
Thank you so much, @kentjensen4504! Your comment blessed me.
Please give credit to the artist whose work you are copying.
Its not hard to find them. Susan gives you the website!
I did, I left a link to their photo to see their image and their name. The website is funny about me sharing peoples names while I make a video.
