No More Mounted Paper! Mountain Landscape Pastel Demo
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- I am in love with this paper! It has solved the problem of buckled sanded paper after a wet underpainting. Sure you can mount your papers but LuxArchival sanded paper stays flat even if unmounted. In the video I do a complete mountain landscape demo on this paper to put it to the test. I also share one of my other tips for keeping paper flat! Enjoy the demo!

A tip for those who think at the beginning that Karen's tutorials are not going to lead to anything good, and you are getting bored or discouraged, just start with the result at the end. By the way: the boring part is never boring, I think it is the miracle part. I have enjoyed this tutorial very much. Gràcies.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your feedback and comment for others! Thanks so much for watching!
The magic comes when the mess turns into a masterpiece before you realize it is happening. It's the best part of the videos- you know it is coming, but you just don't know when- it's like Christmas
LuxArchival is my favorite paper. I can wash a bad painting off of it, and it never buckles! It's really lovely paper.
You are one of the best on line instructors. Thank you so much.
Je vous découvre et j'apprécie beaucoup toutes vos explications qui ne sont ni longues ni inutiles puisqu'elles nous aident à comprendre le cheminement du tableau qui s'avère être magnifique. Du coup je like et je m'abonne. Merci de Paris.
Beautiful painting, much beyond the boring ref pic. I need to set up my easel and practice these from all the boring mtn scenes I have from much traveling!
Thanks for watching!!
I could watch you paint all day long. I love how your mountains turned out, especially.
Thanks so much 😊
Your videos are rich in teaching and it is a real pleasure to listen to you, greetings from France !
Many thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Loved your picture. It came out at a great time .we just got back from Idaho and Montana. You as always make it look so easy. Thanks so much
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun with your new inspiration!!
I live in Idaho! I can’t get enough pictures of our beautiful state. We need to travel north for more pics. Too busy going to our rural farm 100 miles north of Boise. Would like to share a picture one day to see if all would like to paint it!?
@@LiveforHim73 I live in Idaho also east of Bosie.
I am a total beginner with pastels. Your videos make them seem so approachable and fun! I appreciate you taking the time to explain your thought process, it has already helped me so much.
You are so welcome!
I’m having difficulty sending you a message. They keep disappearing. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the mountains with the blue flowers. You’re so easy to follow. Thank you so much for your inspiration. Eileen.
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate you watching!!
Great tutorial. I am a newbie to pastels and your teaching style is so clear! Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome! Welcome to the wonderful world of pastels!
I am so glad I found your tutorials! I am new to pastels and you have a great teaching style and your explanations are so good and just make a lot of sense! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent! I love your paintings!
You are so welcome!
I’ve just recently purchased soft pastels and this video is full of wonderful information ❤ thanks for all of you hard work.
Thank you for the taping demo. Once you showed how you did it, it seems so obvious but I really couldn't figure out how y'all were doing it 😂. I love your channel and your demos, Karen. Thank you so much!❤❤❤
The flowers are out of proportion and to the trees. The selection of colors are beautiful.
Thanks for watching. My goal for this painting was to capture the low angle of looking up through the flowers so that is why they appear larger.
@@KarenMargulis I think what is confusing is that the ones in the background (along the top of the ridge) are bigger than the ones in the foreground. But, it seems to work. Was that an intentional distortion of the perspective to bring the viewer closer?
New to your Patreon site and new to pastels. You're a fantastic teacher and enjoying your videos. Love this mountain scene. Only wish pastels and papers weren't so so expensive.
Awesome, thank you! Welcome to our group! Let's Paint!
Got my fifth one created. Thanks
Liked the painting ma'm and the way your flower's pop out.
Thanks! I appreciate your comment!
@@KarenMargulis Ma'm l like your teaching style clear voice and systematic.thank you ma'm
You are such a good teacher.
Thanks so much. It's my pleasure to share!
Lux Archival has a spray fixative. What a wonderful video!
I am your avid fan Karen. I go really with same style. Thanks.
I tried the paper for the first time 2 days ago ~ you are 100 % right on your review of this paper.
Great to hear! I'm really enjoying it!
Love the "simple" tips for beginners, and budget ideas.
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching!
❤️😘like the painting ma'm .
You are one of the better pastel teachers on TH-cam. Thank you for all of your efforts, and I do love your paintings and benefit from your instructions.
Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate you watching!
Great tutorial, as usual. I've learned so much from your easy teaching style. Always look forward to watching you create!
Thanks so much! I am happy to share!
Beautiful
Love the mid mountain and the light and shade on it
Karen…what a wonderful lesson. So so enjoyed taking the time to share your beautiful skills with us.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
This landscape is so beautifully done, I’m going to try, thanks a lot❤
Thank you for the review of the Lux Archival paper. I recently did a test of 9 papers by painting the same image on each of them. The Lux Archival was the favorite of all those who saw my finished project. There were a few in the bunch that I will not be using. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I do enjoy watching your videos and have learned so much from you.
Thanks for sharing! Your test sounds very interesting!
Would you be willing to share results of your test? What you found out, and which you like best?
Great lesson. Love your patreon site, Karen!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support!
Beautiful!! Thanks 🙏 Karen Great paper very luminous effect . . .🤩
Thank you Karen, great video! I love revisiting your older videos.
Glad you like them!
Super good lesson. I love the way you teach and explain so much of why you're doing what you're doing. Love it!
I appreciate that! Thank you!
So pretty
Your painting turned out lovely, so much better than you boring reference photo! I’m amazed how you turned the same landscape into a much more interesting version! I do enjoy your videos quite a lot ✨
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the information about the Lux Archival paper.
You are so welcome!
Lovely! Really enjoy watching you paint. Inspirational!
Loved this as usual
Glad you enjoyed!
I liked the alcohol wash she did with the mountains. Almost looked like a watercolor. I almost saw two paintings.
Super helpful! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I love your channel. I bought this paper for similar reasons and you really inspired me to move forward and give it a try. Fabulous video,
Interesting to learn more about underpainting options and paper! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I get very inspired watching you create your paintings Karen. Thank you 🙏🏻 Soft pastels are such beautiful things. 💖
I so enjoyed your class. You are so talented and I learned so much. Thank you.
Thank you Karen! I’m loving that you are posting some of our Patreon videos here on TH-cam. As a subscriber to your Patreon I enjoy being able to watch the videos on my big screen TV! It’s so much easier to see your wonderful work. Like watching a movie. Thank you Winsome x
You are so welcome! Thanks for being a Patreon Insider!!
What a treasure to watch you create. TFS!
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed watching and learning ~ thanks
Pretty 🎨
I love this! I really like how you explained how and why you do something!! I will be becoming a patron!
Yay!! I am so glad you discovered my videos and I look forward to sharing more on Patreon!
I always enjoy your thought process during your painting. I have a tendency just keep at it until my paper won't hold anymore pastel. LOL. We do get lost in our creativity.
Thanks for watching! I do know what you mean by getting lost in a painting!
Love your beautiful work and wonderful way you teach. I am just started and getting frustrated with mounting sanded paper etc as prep. Your use of color is inspiring! Thanks!
You are so welcome! I am happy to share what I learned!
Its really interesting - I love pastel paintings and mounting the paper as you do is a great idea - and the second challenge for using pastels are for me to avoid the glass because I love the raw surface without a glass
Thank you! I have not found a good way to frame without glass but I do prefer to use Tru Vue Museum glass which is just about invisible.
@@KarenMargulis Same glass I prefer; really makes a difference.👍 Add: When I mount, I sometimes use a trim of mat board colored close and cut to be invisible, but keeps pastel away from glass. Others mount tight to glass, which I am uncomfortable with. How do you approach glass vs painting depth?
You have a magical touch, Karen! You make it look so easy 😩. Fabulous painting.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful video Karen! I'm loving this surface... so durable!
Thanks Susan! It really is! It allows us to do so much !!
Wonderfull Karen, I enjoyed it once again. 🙏
Thanks again!
Thank you. Am new to pastel..just observing right now..
Always a lot of info in your videos!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
I love your work. Very beautiful painting and very informative session. The final painting looks more like a warm rich summer evening while the photograph shows a late spring morning. That is you artistic interpretation, and I love it.
Thank you so much 😀
Wonderful!!! You really make me want to paint. Thank you for this beautiful tutorial🙏
Thank you so much 😀
Fantastic! Bravo! Merci! 🌲🥳🌟🤩🤗
I tried to find the Blair fixative but I had no luck. But I live in Portugal so it's different. I hate when we love a product and they stop producing or change it. I wanted to try Blair because of the low odor. I bought a Conté à Paris one but haven't used it yet. I'll let you know. About the artwork... Wonderful. It is amazing how you transform the photo into an amazing, full of life (color and strokes) painting. Outstanding. 👏❤️
Thanks! Yes please do let me know about the Conte. I am always looking for different products to try.
this is what I was looking for:) Thank you
Beautiful colors 🥰
Very informative. Beautiful. Another great video my friend. Thumbs up. Have a blessed week.
Thank you! You too!
Well done. I love this piece.
Pure magic. Thank you.
Thank you Susan!
Lovely!
Thank you!
Beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. Lovely painting.
Thank you! 😊
Always love your technique... brilliant.. 😍
Thank you so much 😀
Gorgeous
Thank you very much for the tips and for Lux Archival Paper that does not need to be mounted. Great.
And Its so interesting to watch your process and listen to your reflections on your choices and your lovely feeling for color and tone and for me it was a surprice that its possible to scrub the pastel with water - seemed to be a great idea that I will try. And I am curious do you create miniart? I would like you to share if you do.
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching. I am not sure what you mean by minart? I do occasionally paint small 2.5x3.5 artist trading cards. Is this what you mean?
I'm still new at pastel and all its delicious intricacies. You are a huge help to me~thank you so much, Karen! You've answered all my current questions.
I'm so glad! It is a pleasure to share with you!
The meadow is attractive with the multi-purpled lupines against the greens, but I fell in love with the mountain colors, especially that sun-lit center one! Your placement of the colors for the sunshine-lit vs shadow areas is perfect! I LOVE this painting! Thank you for teaching this!
Thank you very much!
These techniques are very helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Karen…what a great lesson. Thank you so much for taking this time to share your wonderful knowledge and skills.
You are so welcome!
Wonderful painting! Love the colors! Will have to try this paper soon. Thank you Karen!
Have fun! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful and magical
Thanks for this. I was very frustrated with other paper buckling. I will let you know what I find with it.
You're an amazing teacher! Love this! Thank you x
Thank you so much!
Beautiful!!!
Love it so much! So well done, I am working with acrylic paint, but I just got few ideas I would try to apply for creating my work. Thank you so much for such wonderful demo.
Beautiful. 😊
So I must say that your demos are the best! I am new to pastels and really did not know where to start. A few years back I ran 4 of your demo and kept up among side with my senneliers and was amazed at what I learned! I have also seen your work recently in Plein Air. Amazing!
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! It is a pleasure for me to share!
This is a beautiful painting. I love what you do! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Another tip-filled and engaging instructional video! Lux Archival has been favorite of mine for awhile and I’ve been raving about it so it’s great to hear your appreciation for its many fine qualities. I missed Heidi’s amusing commentary this time but perhaps she was dreaming about your next project, formulating thoughts to contribute. I truly love painting rocks and stone faces (so much variety and character) so I enjoyed this composition. I always learn so much whether spoken or demonstrated by your technique. Much gratitude!
Beautifully painted
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for your teaching . I have been practicing how to create the grasses kind of covering some of the flowers .Wonderful painting and great lesson !
You are so welcome! I appreciate you watching!
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Those taped hinges are a great idea, and I didn't know you "paint" with pastel by just adding water.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!! You have inspired me! I have purchased soft pastels, and am waiting for them to arrive.
Wonderful! Welcome to the wonderful world of pastels!!
Thanks for this video!
Love it what nice way to make a master piece
Thank you! 😊
Good tip about those hinges. Tnanks!
Glad to help!
Hi! I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm looking forward to exploring your content.
Lovely painting and as always a great demo! Learn so much from your videos every time, thank you!
Thank you very much!
So beautiful, as usual. I always wonder if the underpainting would be beautiful framed also.
That would be fun to keep just underpainitngs!
Karen, could you do a video explaining what colors really work well and look good together? I find that to be my biggest hurdle- not knowing what colors I should use. Maybe there are colors say cerulean blue and a shade of pink that look particularly good together? And maybe some analogous colors that seem to really sing together?
So beautiful 🎨👏🇫🇷. as usual!
Thank you! 😊
Love your work .. have learned a lot .. getting to the point where I actually am happy with some of my results :)
I see someone else pointed out Amazon seems to have the blair fixative.
Thank you! I will look into it. Someone also found it at fineartstore.com Thanks for letting me know!
