Excellent class! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. This class was one of the most informative I’ve seen by any online teacher. You always kept my interest and I felt encouraged by what I’ve learned. I recommend your channel to my friends who are stepping into pastels. Keep on teaching, you are great at it!

Mind blown! Game changer. I would love a video about high key painting- it can be so ethereal and captivating Thank you for the lesson and I have my first set of soft pastels arriving Thursday- Sennelier Plein Air 80 half sticks. If I become a patreon will I be able to view past videos there? Thank you for sharing your art with us!

How do you varnish oil pastels? I heard you cant cause it never dries. So if thats true then how do you protect the art work you just created?

Contrast is indicative of lighting conditions. In real life there is light and dark and without shadows there is no form. There is much more contrast in the test pictures than you talk about before painting. The trees are very dark and the sky is quite light. Having little contrast is one choice of style but it may look very flat. Many people do not use enough contrast to make interesting paintings.
