Gorgeous!

[@dulcieogilvie5786]

Super!

[@debbiewells2851]

I am in awe! The way you lay down the pastel is so beautiful, not to mention the color variation. Thank you for being so generous to share your expertise. I really just can't say enough!

[@AlainPicard]

You are so welcome! It's a joy to share with artists like you Debbie, keep painting!

[@MT-bc6xf]

Wow! Just saw this video so happy to find it!

[@jancarlton6674]

Another beautiful demo! Thanks Alain!

[@marshaschauer9144]

Lovely shimmer of water!

[@slosammie]

Love the looseness in layering strokes. Nice color palette. Good demo on painting sky and water. Thank you Alain!!

[@Zenon-fg4dw]

Great demo, Alain! I am new to painting, and demos like these from artists like yourself are invaluable for education as well as inspiration. Thank you so much for this demo!

[@mjpete27]

Well Alain I am sorry to say I am disappointed. Disappointed in your other viewers (at the time of this comment) of over 600 only 80 feel they need to click the Like button! You produced a fantastic painting in only 30 minutes, yes it is a study but many of us would love to be able to create such a wonderful picture no matter the time limitation. I know we all would like to have longer more in-depth videos, but you have to give your time and efforts to your paying customers, they must come first! I do enjoy watching you create these amazing paintings with such an ease of mark making that we all wish we could emulate. Well the answer is in your classes and of course practice in our own studios too! Keep creating and please share when you have the chance. I look forward to your next video. I hope it will appear soon! Til then, be safe and take care!

Truly this is art

[@DavidSteadStudio]

Hi Alain - another great demo. I've been painting & teaching for over 40 yrs (oil, acrylic, w/colour etc) and never really got into pastel but you've certainly whetted my appetite to give it a go.

[@denisegrossman3840]

Thanks Alain, this video was a game changer for me. I am starting to understand how to create looser strokes with hatching method and linear strokes. Now I need to practice practice!

[@jeanpowell4344]

Beautiful painting. Learning more. Thanks.

[@karennaturallyartby]

Fantastic - love it

[@sophiereinecke8659]

Wonderful Alain! I love and envy the looseness of your work. I wish I could emulate you. I am falling back to detail all the time and just not managing to loosen my mind enough. Thank you! So enjoyable and inspirating! Sophié .

[@tel5891]

Thanks Alain, big fan of your wonderful work

[@AlainPicard]

You're very welcome Terry, thanks for appreciating! All the best.

[@Crap873]

Love it 💗👏I subscribed!

[@dorothyg3012]

Love your style, Alain! I somehow always end up getting into too much detail. Going to try this one and see how far I get. Knowing when to stop is probably key.

[@colleenbrownart]

Another wonderful demo Alain! Thank you!

[@AlainPicard]

You're very welcome Colleen!

[@harpuaful]

Very cool! Good instruction... thanks Alain

[@AlainPicard]

Glad you liked it!

[@subhasishdhar5184]

Excellent sir

[@letsdrawwithmanya1328]

Very helpful video 👍😊

[@soshnikovaelenapastelart]

Interesting style) thank you

[@Trueblue222]

Fabulous , I’m particularly struck by the lightness of your strokes and how short they are. I have a tendency to leave the pastel on the paper too long making longer marks and its not as effective. Your mark making helps achieve the layered effect so much more effectively. I’m taking it all on board and learning everyday. Thanks. Steve UK

[@jackiegoodwin2332]

Thank you, Alain, it’s great to watch how you put down marks and to hear your decision-making throughout the process. I find it very helpful. I have two questions: what was the tool (not the brush) you used to move the pastel towards the end? How would you move from this study to a painting?

[@judithcullivan4969]

Incredible! I've always avoided sunset or sunrise in my paintings but I painted along with your demo and I love the result. Yours of course is sublime!

[@AlainPicard]

That's wonderful Judith!

[@heatherjohnson8022]

Alain, have you tried the Panpastels? What do you think of them?

[@oddjohanbentsen5250]

Pasteller - - les darlow

[@tschuhster]

I'm a fan of your work and your colors are beautiful. I wish you would rethink adding music to your videos. In this video, the music is louder than your voice and drowns you out. Your information is so good that you don't need the music.

[@MrJairo3259]

Outside looks so simple...

[@louiseherrick3710]

Do you have your inspirational photos somewhere where I can see them more clearly.? Louise

[@baqibillah1589]

So nice. How can we prepare sanded paper

[@kerimaltuncu8152]

yo whats the music playing?

[@dianeoconnor8310]

Such a good demonstration! Thank you!
