    I 70 and just started painting 6 months ago. Didn't realize I was that hard of hearing. I've been shouting to much. Thanks, I enjoyed your lesson on whispering. I'm eating ,waking, and sleeping pastel painting. Not too late to the table of painting.

    "Shouting Marks" and "Whisper Marks"- brilliant descriptions- Marks and layers really contribute such a huge aspect to the finished painting- color light and darks, etc- are important, but marks i think really speak to an artist's capabilities and understanding- Variety in marks is also very important- I love a mix between Realism and "Impressionism"- or Even "Abstact-ism" (is that a word?) of the 'shouting marks'- mixed together with realism, it really gives he eye a treat and workout pulling the viewer into the scene more i think- The photographer Peterson used to call it 'Screaming Babies", (IE Bright jarring instances within hte scene that immediately draw attention away from where the photographer wants to viewer to look) but his idea was to avoid them in photography because it distracts- He stressed looking at the whole scene thoroughly to eliminate them- However with Art i think it adds much to the painting when done judiciously- as it also displays the artist's mastery of the media when done correctly-

    Wow Karen, all of your content is great, but mark making is so vital to successful painting, and it's not talked about near enough by artists. Whispering and shouting, I love it. Thoroughly enjoyed this one (and all of yours) This one really drove the point home for me.

    Another beautiful painting and great instruction. It seemed that the trees magically became trees. Landscapes are a challenge for me but in my sorting of reference pictures last night I came across a number of photos of fields of flowers that reminded me of you. Inspired by this video, i plan on giving them a try. I think my biggest challenge is struggling with knowing what colors to use in the underpainting.

Especially for those who are wearing headphones, the range in volume is greater than the difference between your whispers and shouts when using pastels. A little ironic. Haha.

    I used to show it but I got a lot of negative feedback for using fixative inside the studio. It is easier to do it off camera outside due to moving cameras and lights etc. You can watch some older videos to see me spray. Basically I give a very light spray. You don't want to get the paper wet with the spray so keep the can moving!!
