Your dog is so cute

WOW OH WOW OH WOW!!!!!! 😍I am sooo utterly in love with this sweet bird trio! When you started Part 2 of the Live, I couldn't believe the change... Clouds & Stencils oh my! There was so much depth & interest, and I didn't know how you could improve it! BUT sure enough, there you went, a couple extra hours for today's live (and my face smushed on the 43" monitor!) Just when I think I can't love your art any more than I do, you smile and say, "Here. Hold my beer...." 🤣 You are so creative & work intuitively ... that really resonates with me. You step into the zone and just let the work flow... seemingly never worried... anything can be changed, evolved, and settled into it's final home. WOWOWOOWOWO! Thank you for your Trio of Little Ladies! 💛🖤💛

I missed it today. Twins were here.

I am loving the birds, their costumes and wings this piece is going to be magical 😍

Dawn, I REALLY loved this Live Demo part 1! 😍I think the black+eraser+gold is my favorite technique, and I am working on a piece, but I haven't finished it. I know you won't be doing the gold, but your piece is so strong without it! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the stencils you chose and can't wait for the part 2 Live on Thursday's Throwdown! What a neat variation using them... sky's the limit since there are millions of designs out there (or creating our own with the handy-dandy Cricut!) I have learned so much from your generous free Lives, and am delighted to be a part of your Pastel Insider program! It is so affordable, and you have sooooooo many cool projects available. THANK YOU for your time and commitment to the Art & Pastel community. I appreciate you!! Blessings from Western Washington! 💛🖤💛 Stacy

Hi Dawn - Greetings from New Zealand

You are such a beautiful soul and so inspiring ❤ thank you

Did I miss where to get the frames from ?

❤ Hi Dawn! I can really relate to Ctystal so it was nice to be in everyone’s presence and hearing your responses. I’m starting holidays this week…here’s hoping I can catch one of your lives 🤞

Very helpful. Thank you. I'm getting ready to write up something to put with paintings I sell and this was perfect. God bless.

This color palette is soooo rich, sooo beautiful! 😍 It feels like a tropical jungle in a way, and it displays your magic touch as Master Color Mixologist! I can almost hear birds and animal sounds in the background. I am always so impressed at how the color blocking stage transforms into layers of a fantastical environment. Not only is the technical application so impressive, joining you personally every week is like coffee/tea with one of your bestest buddies. Your sweet spirit and fun sense of humor sure makes the lives a lot of fun! Thank you for your time. You awesome-sauce! Blessings from Washington! 💛🖤💛

I love the color scheme on this.❤

So beautiful Dawn. I am really loving seeing all the different colour schemes and how you put things together. It makes the pieces really pop. Loving this one too, see you on Thursday 😘

Is this in the pastel insider ? Or is it a class? I love him/her. lol.

I’m working on her now. My face is a mess so what I love is I can just erase and start again. Lol. Oh the colors are amazing. I’m all about COLOR

I’m gonna do her next !

I’m in love !

Beautiful

The sound of skritchy scratchy❣️😍😍😍

WOW! WHAT A BEAUTY! I am utterly flabbergasted at how your many stages all combine to make something so ethereal and touching. I love seeing how you advance the piece... nice and steady, a little here, a little there, no this looks better, ... before ya know it, there is a magical being before you. I must say, if I had to pick one favorite part, it is when you added the yellow color mix behind the bird... she just JUMPED right off the page! The purples really deepened her itty bitty body and she became a wonderful secondary focal point. YOU AMAZE me always! Have a wonderful weekend! Hope to see you Tues.💛🖤💛

Love the Bird and the hair! Inspired!!

Love her 😊

❤😍💥

Dawn, the eyes look so beautiful, and the transformation that is happening is so inspiring. ❤

I love your style, Dawn! Love this portrait piece! I wondered how you got your references!

Wow wow wow, thank you so much Dawn, love her fierce strength🔥🔥😍😍 Are the beginning and the template in this months membership included?

Part 2 just as brilliant as part 1, love the community, love the interaction. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you Dawn, glad I popped the 😉😉 in, loving the direction of this one, really love the squiggly lines you are doing on the face, would never have thought to do that, great way to loosen up. The colour scheme is drawing me in again, love! See you on Thursday.

The before and after on this one really stands out for me. I think I’m finally beginning to put it all together, where the stained glass turns to one lovely, soft, cohesive piece. You have truly inspired me to keep showing up and I appreciate these demos so very much. 🌈🩵

This is so pretty!

❤😮😍

I am currently following along in your Pastel Insider membership, oh my word what a fabulous membership to be a part of. The line art, the instruction and the fantastic pace without feeling overwhelmed is fantastic! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Hi Dawn, I have Been getting your newsletter and watching all your videos so far over the last 6 months or so. I am from Australia and have only watched the live videos a couple of times. I really enjoy your teaching and the pan pastels. I am new to art altogether. I have always wanted to try art, and I have found you and absolutely love your pieces. I have purchased some pan pastels and follow along with the replay. I am loving it. I have also bought a few of your lessons but haven't done them yet. I haven't done art before so was wondering if there is anything I should do to get the real basics down? You are fantastic and I love your you tube classes. You are soooo talented. Sorry I wrote my comments in as below but didn't realize my friend had signed in on my computer. Thank you for your wonderful videos and the precious time you spend with us explaining your journey. I greatly appreciate it.

A quick trip to celebrate my brother’s retirement in Washington DC kept me away Thursday. Thank you for using the magic of KZbin and making your demos available anytime, anywhere!

This was very informative and helpful! Thank you for sharing this process!!

Hi lovely Dawn!! I feel bad missing out On all the action here in our world,.I’m going through such a busy time in my life and image it will be this way until I retire. (Hopefully 4 yrs from now) I watch every chance I can and still enjoy you so much !! Be well my friend xo

Wow this little Fox is quite the cutie patootee!! 😍 I adore that expression and dynamic pose. I'm glad I got to jump in and out at least. I hope to have time to work on my only black/ erasers/ gold portrait soon. I've been able to add a few steps, "showing up", (complete with black pastel all over my face! 😂 ) But slow layers, and not needing to rush is grace for me and a huge win. Somebody wanted me to put up the in progress pics up in FB. Maybe I will😅. I also sketched out a piece I REALLY REALLY want to create. It's inspired by several of your pieces which I cobbled together. It's based on several souls long gone from this world, but are still connected to me here in this realm. I love Angel symbology so much, so I'm going to do that. Her hair is inspired by that last beauty you did a few lives ago, with the cool nest and birds. When i sketched it, I thought.. "ohhh I think I know where to start now!" And I wasn't freaking out. What a wonderful gift you gave me! You have taken away the Pastel mystery and my fear of the medium. It's like you packed a whole duffle bag full of tips and tools, packed me a sack lunch, a chai tea, and kicked me out of the the "play it safe" house. "Fly little one! Fly!" You have no idea just how many lives you have touched. It's is a ripple affect that's reaching the most distant of shores. Your time, patience, humor, and open, giving heart is a gift you provide so freely. You touch the spirits of everyone you interact with and your light transcends the Art World. It touches us personally, filling us up with a cup of, "ok, I feel better now after getting my dose of Dawn today! I'm ready now to go tackle xyz." All because you smiled that warm, smile of acceptance and let us in. I thank God for you! Love and Blessings from Lakewood. 💛🖤💛

Another beautiful piece. We are being so spoilt being able to learn along with you. I need to get going in my studio, 5 weeks worth of pieces, phew! Thanks Dawn, see you next week, whisper whisper another portrait? 😉

Stream just ended, shows 182 views!! Maybe YT fixed the zeroing out issue!!! 👍

This is a great video Dawn ! Thank you I was wondering if you would share which frame from Amazon you used . I know you use a framer for most . I’m looking for the most cost effective, I’m anxious follow more of your classes 💞nancy j

I know you have probably said but, what do you use to seal your finished works so all the colors don't smudge?

Wowzers! Loved watching those magical moments of just making the piece pop 🥰

Fabulous Fox, I think this has to be my favorite so far. She is Stunning! 🥰🥰🥰

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

Love where this one is headed. Love the fox, but also really love the tree trunk.

Another stunner! I love the color palette of this one. And the tree, the way it sort of winds around the painting, so cool! Looking forward to Thursday❣️

I love this Dawn!

Wow Dawn, I just love this one. I won't be able to watch live on Thursday as I will be out of town but please say hi to all the peeps for me and I will be watching the replay for sure.

I really want to try pan pastels❤
