Dear, Susan. I always wanted to start doing some art. I am 74 years old and due to my work, never had the oppurrunity to begin. I have bad arthritis, but decided this is the time to start -- better now than later! 😂 I saw your work and decided to foiiow your classes. Thanks for your wonderful work. We live in the beautiful countryside on the southern tip of Sourh Africa. God bless!

I saw your KZread short of this video and was so impressed! For once, I finally understood the point of underpainting...bc I could see traces of it literally & hoe some areas the color altered the second color! TY !!

Congrats on the li’l guy!

I have and have used the sennelier fixative. I like it. Love this painting! And such a handsome little man ❤

Great fix for that spot, Susan; you also could have added another sheep there, or maybe small white wild flowers here and there? Loved this painting, thanks.

Love the idea of adding some wildflowers! Thanks so much, Renee!

Another wonderul lesson, Susan! I really like this series. Thank you so very much. I enjoy seeing you create depth with the different colours. And that fixative...What a good find! I was always frustrated that other fixatives made everything darker and duller.

Susan, I had that same issue with LeCarte. The pastel tends to fall off. I often mat paintings and put in a clear bag. The dust fell all over the mat. I liked the look, keeps you loose. But I haven’t used since.

What a beautiful & inspirational painting Susan, thank you, I'm looking forward to the next one. A lovely video of your first grandson you must be very proud ♥

I love the colors. I’m going to start at the bottom of the picture. My sisters house is at the top of the hill. Would take any. Advice you can give. Thanks

Wow!!! Thank you so much, Corinne! Bless your heart!

Super tutorial! 👏 Clarification...do you only recommend using a fixative over problem areas...avoiding the whites? Not the entire piece to seal it?

@monetcafe

Жыл бұрын

That is correct…. I typically never spray my final painting because of darkening . I do use it during the working phases however. I’m still going to play with this new fixative and I’ll be sure to share the results.

@@monetcafe Thank you! I rarely work in pastels. I dabble now and then though so reviews and tutorials are extremely helpful.
