I have been working in pastels for a short time and was happy to find you. I paint in watercolor,which I enjoy, but want to learn something else, and pastels was my choice.

in my studio when it is humid I put a thick piece of linen over them to draw out the moisture in them that is from living in the south

Hi Marla, may I ask what pastels you use please , thank you , i love your work and your youtube lessons ....

[@patvaughn9212]

Love your videos. I'd love to see you put a mat around the finished piece once in awhile. It would set it off and the side marks would not be distracting. I notice that you leave many of your marks sharp and do not soften more of them... Is there a reason? Also, do you have a video on cutting the sky into the trees and sky holes. I have difficulty with that.

[@PaintingLessonsWithMarla]

Hi Pat, lately I've been playing with a more direct style and letting the marks sit up on the paper more with little or no blending. I also began using Pastelmat as my primary paper and it holds the marks in a very particular manner. I will try to remember to put a mat around the paintings! Thanks!!!

8 just started watching your videos. I am very new to painting. Do you use a fixative after you finish painting? If yes what are your favourites?

[@kymrhymer]

yaaaaaa...2 cute.......Thank You...

[@deniseshaw3871]

I really want to paint like this I cant get out of the habit of painting the exact colours I see on photo..

[@danielleauer8402]

is this sanded paper? the sound of it ???

[@deniseshaw3871]

Is it best to paint on a hard easel surface or do you use a foam surface ontop of your easel..by the sound of scratching its hard ?

[@PaintingLessonsWithMarla]

I use a foam core backing board so it's not quite so hard. The camera really picks up the sound!

[@kymrhymer]

We have Rembrandt..

[@altasomolivsage]

Your videographers scratching on his own pastel is so loud and super annoying. Ugh. Your work is great.

[@katbarnes3474]

Alta E, I agree! It is very distracting! Perhaps he should disconnect his microphone!

[@katbarnes3474]

Please ask Joe to STOP that chicken scratch-sounding scribbling! It ruins the mood!

[@WestBlvdVet]

Agreed...please dont have the background distraction
