Absolutely exquisite. The colours are so vibrant and yet so subtle . A wonderful painting .
Thank you so much 😀
I saw monet's Lilly pads in Paris, in a museum that featured only impressionists' paintings, 30 years ago. I had seen many copies of his works. I always wondered why they were all different. I imagined it an average size work. WRONG. The reason was evident when you see that the picture is in a round room in the basement, ceiling to floor, just surrounds the round room. You can move from bench to bench and view different approaches of one painting. A wonderful, marvelous piece. I don't know if it's still there, but if you ever get a chance - GO! It's just mar-vel-ous.
Astounding use of colors!!
So lovely! Bravo❤
It’s gorgeous!!
Beautiful water lilies
Simplemente exquisito. Felicidades por tal belleza❤
Love it. Happy painting!
I love it when you talk! love watching!

Thank you for a great tutorial and the wonderful music, reminded me when I grew up in Vienna :-)
Another AMAZING painting !!! So much detail. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU !
Awwww…Thanks so much Diana!
So beautiful!,
Beautiful piece
What a beautiful way to celebrate Monet’s birthday!
I think so too! This painting was relaxing and fun!
nice video
A truly exquisite artwork. It's mesmerizing to witness the way you breathe life into the image.
Thank you so much, @tobeambitious2230! Your comment blessed me.
I highly recommend a trip to Giverny, France. You can walk thru Monet's backyard where all those great paintings were done in the garden and around the pond. It was amazing to walk across the famous green Bridge.
😍 Gorgeous! Going to try it!
Have fun!
So beautiful. 😊
Thank you so much, @karenleah1477! I'm so glad you liked it! Happy Painting!
Beautiful painting Susan . By the way, my parents were professional ballroom dancers and this music brought me right back to watching them waltz to this very music. Thank you !
How cool!!! Good memories ❤️😊
Loved your picture. I have been wanting to do a picture like that. Still learning my colors to start with. But by watching you I’m learning so much. So glad you are my teacher
So glad you’re learning, Sue! You can do it, sweetheart.
Learned so much. Have not used pastels just water colours and oils and acrylics but as an eighty year old beginner I am happy to absorb any new information.
That was fantastic, when you were apparently, from our POV, painting to that great music. Back in the early 60s when I was a kid we used to put on our mom's classical music and dance all over the living room. And Blue Danube was one of the songs. I think I'll actually try painting to music like that. Your use of colour just astounds me. This painting blew me away. Thank you so much for showing us the way to a great painting.
I loved your comment. Diana! I used to do the same thing with my kids with Classical Music and more. Dancing is so joyful for the soul.
All your paintings are so alive with beautiful vibrant colors! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!
your paintings are becoming more gorgeous .. love this very very very much ..
What a nice experience: learning the impressionistic process and relaxing to Strauss. Thank you, Susan!
Thank you so much… I thought the music added a nice touch myself.
I love your pastel work, Susan. Thank you 🙏
For people who are wondering about investing in good pastels, the Schmincke and Sennellier pastels are smooth, creamy, and delightful to use. Worth every cent!
I'm not words to say...Amaizing colors! Thank you❤️❤️❤️

🎨👩🏼🎨👑 Vous êtes réellement la Claude Monet du pastel sec (you are really the Claude Monet of the dry pastel) (from a French woman living in Vienna, Austria, on the left bank of the Danube).
Oh!! What a wonderful comment for me to read! Thank you so very much!

Hi Susan, I love love this tutorial! Can I use mixed media paper for acrylic and oil for this painting?
Yes you can! I always say "go for it" and try various products with my tutorials. :) Have fun.
Awesomeness! Thanks so very much 🥰
Love this painting ! I am very interested in joining patreon. When I do, where do I begin? Is there a suggestion you might have?
Hi Robin, I'd love to have you as part of my Patreon family. Here is the link... come join the fun!

Do soft pastels have to be worked on a vertical surface only? Or is that just preference or ease for filming? I usually paint other mediums at slight elevated angle but not quite so vertical.
You can paint with pastels on a flat surface but you have to lift and tap your surface off every so often so that the pastel dust doesn’t just lay there. I’ve done this multiple times and I like to keep my painting surface taped to a phone cord board so that I can easily lift and tap it. Oh, and try not to breathe the dust. I tap it kind of far away from where I’m working.
If you’ve ever noticed that some easels feature the ability to tilt forward, it’s primarily for pastels, so the dust doesn’t dribble down the front of your painting… I have no idea how people do that, my neck hurts just thinking about it! 🤯
@@neuroticnation144 Yes, that's a great point!!
Can I also follow along with oil pastel?
Even though oil, pastels, apply differently than soft pastels, many of the principles are still the same. So I think you can still learn lots from my channel.
Bought "soft pastels" from my local store and they turned out to be the same old crusty dusty hard pastels😭😭
