Very helpful to see how you vary the technique based on the type of pastel. Also learned from seeing how you create the mounds of color under the grasses. I look forward to reading your blog.

Lovely dog and cat. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you so much for this clear tutorial. I love seeing you large pieces in the studio, as well as Heidi and Jennifer walking around. I can't wait until I am skilled enough and confident enough to paint so beautifully and independently. Your oil painting is beautiful as well!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful paintings you have in the background at the begining!
Thank you very much Karen, i really appreciate your sharing, its very helpful.
Yes, an amazingly proficient five-minute painting! The rest of us won't be this quick and need not be, but very encouraging. Super advice too. Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
This is a great video Karen from the archive
Thankyou so much. I have real trouble with grass. I am so impatient! I just want to get into painting and find it hard to practice. I love your paintings and tutorials. Thanks for taking the time to do them.... Lynda from New Zealand.

thanks a lot! I'm a beginner and this video is very helpful to me.
Your teaching skills Karen are ideal for me as a Visual and Kinesthetic learner. And your pace and voice tone relax me just enough to experiment during your video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
Great tips and I like how you tape up the photo and your notan next to your painting. No need to have the camera zoom in and out while you work though. I love your channel and I hope to see so much more of your work because I continue to reference your videos while I work on my art. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I am new and needed this lesson
thank you so much for your tutorials.. you're work b is beautiful.. and u simplify it.
Your videos are very helpful to me. Thanks
Very helpful. Thanks for posting it.
bellisimo, thanks you Karen Margulis
I love ur art!!!
Beautiful, thank you for sharing
Very very educative Karen....
Very Beautiful . And very helpful ...
Beautiful! Thank you.
Helps immensely! At this point, I have thousands (literally) of hard, soft, and extra soft) pastels-I have a very few Terry Ludwigs, as I cannot afford them yet-is there a more economical brand that you would endorse?-I have a good many Mt. Visions, Great Americans, Mugio Handmades, as well as Guiralt, Holbiens..and Rembrandst....and a set of Pan Pastels.....I tend to work from back to front, hard to soft-I notice, and it looks like GREAT FUN, that you work all over the picture at a time...I come from VERY TIGHT, colored pencil background, self-taught. I know I want and need to loosen up, and I realise that the loose rendering allows the viewer's eye to put in the needed detail....Thanks ever so much for these lessons!!!! And Happy New Year!! Kiss the doggie and Kittie!...and I suppose you should kiss your film-maker!(ha ha!)
Thank you Karen. I am sure this will help.
Branching out from oils. I know how I want my landscape to look, but doing it with pastels? This tutorial, showing me techniques, is exactly what I need! I'll admit, I've made some messes. You're right about "practice first". Save the good paper.
Your emails and videos are like chocolate ice cream to me: to be set aside for quiet moments when I can really savor them. I am humbled by your willingness to share these amazing tips with us, tips that you've learned through thousands of hours of practice. And I love that you invite your pets into your studio.
A QUESTION: when I want to frame a pastel piece, I mount the painting behind glass, like I would a watercolor. The problem is the reflections off the glass are so bad that it's often hard to see the painting. I've used museum glass (which I love), but the price is outrageous. What do you do? Is there a product that can seal the pastel painting well enough to forgo glass altogether?
+jancass51 Thanks for watching! I'm afraid I don't know of an effective way to seal a pastel to avoid the glass without changing the image. I am particular about what I frame because I will only use museum glass.
Thank you!
I like it very nice.Thank you👏😊
Grande!!.... brava e complimenti....un saluto da Genua-Italy.

Thank you for the helpful videos. The large pastel paintings you have in the studio are so lovely. Are they painted on a board? I would love to know more about them. Perhaps you have a blog post specifically addressing these?
Thank you so much Karen for these videos! Do you ever use pastel pencils? Learning so much from your demos! Thank you so much!
Love your work, thank you for sharing. Do you have a video that explains how you tape your paper to your working surface?
I love Heidi!
Thank you
Thanks really helpful :)

Glad it was helpful!
I love this large paintings in the background. May I ask if all these paintings are painted in pastel?
