Cool. I’ve never heard of that technique. Our God is a God of order after all! Cont. Prayers Susan. 🙏🏻🤗❤️🖌

Grew up on a farm. Observation lead to me being good at perspective, painting trees and good with colour. I only learned about the Fibonacci sequence/golden rule much later in life but I was already doing what you’re doing, including using the side of your pastel and twisting it. Love seeing you share your talent and you’re a natural teacher.

I have been looking for an explanation like this. Perfectly explained! 😊 thank you so much.

You are a great teacher, thanks Susan!

This is a great teaching, so helpful and most interesting, too. I have been trying to figure out the structure of trees, to give the impressionistic a true base. Alas, I am not a Fibonacci - however, he did it for me, and you took me to him. Great! Thank you so much! I love sitting in your classroom!

Wonderful Lotte :) I love how you put it, "sitting in my classroom", because that's exactly how I feel... like you guys are with me. I always find I paint better when I have a better understanding of how nature works. So glad it was helpful!

I really enjoyed this lesson. Also wentvto park to study thus and was astonished. Each tree more or less grow like this. Thank loads

Great lesson, Susan!!!❤🙏

Wonderful explanation and I hope you continue to show this in your next series of paintings as well! So many basic concepts can be difficult to learn. Thank you for posting a simple and easy to understand video for everyone to get!

I so appreciate that feedback. It really helps me to know what videos people want the most. I love the “why” questions that go deeper than just copying someone painting. So glad others appreciate really learning.

Wonderful teaching. I love it. :)

Thank you for this great lesson. 🌳

Thanks Jackie, these things mesmerize me too! I’m just so fascinated by the order and design of nature, and yet how spontaneous it can be at the same time.

Thank you so much Jackie! I happen to love the order and design in nature. I’m glad you liked this lesson. Thanks so much for your comment and happy painting!

Such a useful lesson, I didn't know about the Fibonacci applying to trees and it certainly will help me in my paintings, thank you.

Great lesson for me here!!

I just found your channel- I teach art to children- I can’t wait to share with them all the amazing new techniques that I’m learning!!! Thanks so much! I love all the information and your positive energy ❤️

Thank you so much, dear Susan. I always get surprise for your great talent. It seems to me you take a common landscape and you are able to portray it much much better, as if you got a glance from heaven. By the way, I’ve just purchased your book in Amazón. I’ll tell you something when read. Greetings from Barcelona. All the glory be to God, and to you my blessings❤️❤️❤️

Hello Susan,Just watched the lesson on fibonacci tree drawing, love it ,make so much sense.I definitely will practice ..Its never too late for "education"to continue to open the door to creative stimulation. Especially for a new pastel artist like me...keep it coming.

@@monetcafe Wait for it…there’s some math kidding in my ‘conference plans.’ Main point is…your tutorial, and the earlier one, will really help me improve grasses and trees. Thx again.

Hello Susan 😀 I was struggling with it, yesterday I ruined one of my practice paintings coz of my mistakes in making trees,😔 Pls do make one video on detailing of near objects as well(like detailing grasses & giving hues).😅 Fibonacci sequence as I recall from my classes, my prof said everything around us is a product of Fibonacci numbers, combining this with the video you once uploaded on Fibonacci series, it just gave some fantastic mathematical mindsets to consider, I sent this video along with the earlier one to my prof as well. Now m waiting for his reply 🙂. Also I was talking to Jackie(watercolorgypsyandwellness) about "do we require a large amount of pastels for a painting,?" ,I think, generally a beginner should but artists generally through experience knows the exact color which one has to use, She did tell me that u have some videos on making paintings with just 12-13 pastels, which I've watched but in the end m just a novice before the genius. Happy Diwali ❤️ Keep posting more 😊 Love from India ❤️

Hello friend... I hope you find this video helpful and I am just amazed at how the creation has such logic and order... (definitely didn't come about by chance!). That's neat that you sent my other video to your professor. You must be reading my mind, because it is on my to-do list to create more step-by-step videos with a limited palette. I thing this really helps beginner artists and also keeps it doable since pastels can get so expensive. Keep learning and I always love your joyful spirit!!

Hi Susan I am a fan of your work. I heard you say Unison is a good set for beginners. What brand is for professional artists? Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills

@monetcafe

3 жыл бұрын

Unison is actually a great brand for a professional artist and I always recommend that beginner artists don’t scrimp on quality pastels because they make such a difference. If you start with a student grade Pastel you may never want to paint with pastels again. Of course as a beginner artist you may not be able to buy a large quantity but it’s definitely worth buying the better pastels. Some of my favorite brands are… Unison, Terry Ludwig, Sennelier , mountain vision and more. Hope that helps, and one of these days I am hoping to offer her a money café starter set comprised of various professional grades. Have fun!

You should consider buying half stick sets when starting out, The Schmincke and Sennelier half stick sets come in wonderful ranges. I would lean towards the 120 sets, but it is because I need more choices! Most quality pastels, NOT ALL! offer half stick sets. I also believe that if you go to cheap you will despise pastels and not enjoy the painting experience.
