That is exactly the right red for that gray-green foliage.

Thank you for this great introduction to pastels Karen, you have totally inspired me to have a go.

(From Germany: My English is not so good. Please forgive this.) Thank you so much for your painting demonstrations. I´ve learnd many things. And you pushed my motivation to paint with pastell in the sky :-)) with your great explainings. Please do more in the future. Greetings from Germany Achim

My pleasure 😊Thanks for watching!

One of my favorite tutorials! You rock!!!🎉🥰

This is indeed a start that walks us through the painting without the fright that the white surface usually produces. The near complimentary background colours invite us to carry on. Thank you Karen, this is very encouraging.

Great demo! Beautiful painting...Thank you:)

Thank you for your wise advise. I will follow your lead when I paint in soft pastel. I love your work!

Such a great teacher! Absolutely enjoy all your videos and love being a patron, so worth it!!!❤

Really inspired by this painting and makes me want to get my pastels out and order more!

love, love, love your lessons! thank you so much

Karen, Thank you for taking me on a wonderful journey in developing my pastel skill set. I love your use of the Blair fixative. I have never seen the product used in such a manner and you achieved such breathtaking results!

Thanks Karen, all very helpful.

You're so fearless, you just go intuitively and it works....Inspiring!

Thank you for your generous tutorials! You are the best! ❤️

I love your work and how you make it look so simple. Thank you for your instruction. I am a first time user of pastels, part of an art group where we are given a new challenge every week. This week is a soft pastel landscape. When I realised what the pastels were - I realised that I have no idea how to use them. I will definitely be looking to your tutorials to guide me, you have given me some good insight, thank you xxx

I’m very glad to have found this channel. You explain things simply and directly and it seems everything you say is a revelation which should be obvious but I somehow didn’t realize on my own. I think this video and a similar one you did (the one with a field of lavender) will be game changers for me in my struggle to create art. Thank you for your good work. I intend to check out your patreon account soon.

Greetings from Poland, I have been watching your videos for half a year now, I bought my own soft pastels and now paint along with you. All you paintings are really beautiful, this is my favorite one, because it reminds me of the landscapes from my childhood - my father was a forester, and we lived in a forest. I wish you lots of health and happiness. :)
