I am new to Pastels and to Karen’s Patreon. I am really learning a lot from an excellent artist and teacher 🙏🏼

If you like her pastels, you owe it to yourself to join her patreon. She is a superb instructor. Her pastels are beautiful, and she enjoys teaching and showing her students how they can develop their pastels. This is my 3rd year. Painting is a wonderful escape when the world is too much with us.

Thank you so much for this pastel floral tutorial. I’ve been looking for such a lesson on YouTube for quite some time and finally found yours which is so very helpful ❤

[janemarvell]

So so beautiful…. I have never used pastels before apart from using them to show my grandson what a glorious blended rainbow he could make.
Thankyou for all your clear tutorials xxx

It’s much more beautiful than your reference pic👍👍👍👍👍🍵🌹💕

Can't express how much I appreciate and enjoy your tutorials. The instructions are so understandable and your spontaneous use of the pastel medium is inspiring. I have a tendency to blend too much - this was perfect in teaching me to let the pastels do the work.

I love this tutorial. I think I'll add a little cabbage buterfly to mine. Thank you Karen.

Thank you for this easy step demo. I am struggling to get away from highly detailed to more relaxed work but it's difficult to break the cycle. These poppies are beautiful.

I am excited to try this one. I have a couple of other poppies paintings from prior tutorials But I finally ordered your pastel set as a gift for myself for Christmas and I can’t wait to use them

Your teaching is superb, and pastels are magic. Now do you know a way of framing pastels without glass? Museum glass is expensive. Have any ideas . Much appreciated.
