This is beautiful! Am I the only one who sees water among the grasses? I want to perch a small bird on one of the long grass stems. Thank you for this lovely inspiration! I'm always amazed how you take an unremarkable photo and turn it into a gorgeous work of art.

Great video. So sad. I had a barely used Terry Ludwig Red Rock set, I loved that was stolen out of my SUV along with over $1000 worth of pastels, Uart and Pastemat papers and wheeled art cart; Unisons, and Nu pastels; a few senneliers too. All irreplaceable as I am a senior on such a limited Canadian pension. Broke my heart.

I am just beginning to try chalk pastels. Your teaching and results are super!!! I live in hope that you will sometime paint a scene with a rainbow in it. No one else does!!! I have searched in vain for a rainbow scene. Please, please, be the first to show us how to do a rainbow scene! Thank you for your excellent instructions!

Karen I love your video you are so generous. I’m starting with pastel after 30 years + watercolour painting it’s different and I enjoy it very much. Thank you very much.
