😂😂I know, right?

Looks great! As someone with ADHD and someone who gets stuck in the details, the 20 minute idea is very smart.

I love the way you took an incredibly boring reference photo and turned it into something so beautiful. The power of creativity… And you did it in 20 minutes

13:11 the painting comes through you and not from you. A synchronous zone. Great stuff, very informative and inspiring.

I love the way you break down the steps to make pastel painting accessible to those of us learning. I treated myself to your Terry Ludwig set. I look at my mailbox every day hoping they have come!

Wonderful! Thank you so much for choosing my set and watching my videos!

I decided I wanted to try my hand at my grandmother’s beautiful set of pastels which are now 50+ years old, so I turned your video on to give me a jumping off point. Wow! What a find. Your painting is amazing and your interpretation of the original reference really lovely. I so happy I found your channel and can’t wait to follow you. Thank you for sharing your talent.

You make it look so simple but when I try it, it’s definitely not. You are gifted - and such a generous teacher sharing your talent and knowledge. Thank you, Karen. You give me such joy - and hope

I find it so helpful how you explain the process of composition, colour and tone, thank you

At the end of the 7 minute mark your painting reminded me of a William Turner painting...one of my very favorite artists. Amazing how you take such a drab picture and bring it to life with color.

This was wonderful!! Thanks for walking us through one of these paintings from beginning to end. It really helped me understand how these are done and how to begin myself

Your painting was much more beautiful and dynamic than the photo you had for inspiration. Your use of the colors really made the picture come to life and turned what was a rather boring looking field into something beautiful. I have inherited my Mom's art supplies and among them was a box of soft pastels. I am hoping to learn how to use them to make beautiful paintings, myself.

Hi, I just created this, my first pastel painting, turned out pretty well, I'm a watercolor artist. They sure are a lot more forgiving than watercolors! But I painted with the vacuum at my side. 😁

Fascinating.

Loved the colours.

Wonderful gift to my artist development

Thank you! It's very helpful!

So good to see you and your creations. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring. Have a wonderful 2022 Karen. By the way, I took this advise from another video of yours, of using the same pallette, and I've painted 2 Completely different scenes. One a winter landscape and another just huge clouds in the sky. I hated the first one and I am loving the clouds. If I had put the pallette away It would have been just a waste of time picking it up. I thought of what you said and voila a painting that I am so happy with, and it's not even done yet. Thanks again!😘

You are so talented. The idea of putting multiple colors of same values certainly does make for interesting look. It’s so beautiful before you even finish. You just know perfectly what color to put where and it’s appearance is incredibly appealing. I truly enjoy watching you turn these creation from the opposite colors one would expect to see…. Into a gorgeous piece of artwork. You and your process amazes me. Thank you for sharing your thought process as you paint.

So lovely, as always! I see a heart in purple in the sky on the left hand side. I think it is a sign from my mom who passed away in November. She was a watercolor artist and was so happy that I took up painting in the last few years. Perhaps I'm just looking for it, but I think it is a sign through your beautiful painting. ❤

A lot of great info and painting for my beginner pastel class I am teaching. You have a loose style I like. Thank You!

I am inspired by this 20 min. painting you did. It is so vibrant; it really sings! I’m going to be exhibiting my paintings at the senior community where I live in Tucson, Arizona. These are a variety of media leading up to my recent passion for pastels. Once the show is mounted, I plan on making some small paintings and completing the commission of an 18x24” pastel of a French Poodle. I did a 9x12 preliminary painting which I am using as a guide for the larger version.

I've been using charcoal and I've been wanting to experiment with pastels. They're so intimidating for some reason! Thanks for the video!

Happy New Year Karen, a very beautiful work of art, and even nine minutes into the painting it would be complete for many minimalist or abstract artists, but you continued and did a wonderful job. Though totally unlike Rembrandt's realism, and as a compliment, I now pronounce you the "Rembrant" of pastel painting. Kudos!
