Great video again Susan. Lots of ideas to practice.

I made pastel surface in my sketchbook, with watercolor and the pastel ground gesso on top. Excited to try this style. :)

I am only about 13 minutes into the video and have just heard your comment re damage in a large flooding event. We had huge flooding at the beginning of this year where I live - we had no damage but thousands of others were not so lucky so I have a little understanding of what you've been through. Good luck with your recovery.

[@monetcafe]

Hi Grace.... yes, it sounds like you have experienced how devastating a flood can be. I think we often assume... "it's just water", but I learned the hard way how damaging, contaminating, and destructive flood water can be. It was a hard year to try to recover and renovate our damaged home, and we lived in a small travel trailer during the process. But we are grateful to have finally gotten the home sold, and now we are still trying to make a new home for ourselves. Thanks for your comment and I pray neither of us have to experience that again! ;)

[@anajackson3283]

Hi Suzan, if using pastel pencils for the underpainting, do I still use alcohol/water to blend? Many thanks

[@antoniomolina2267]

I like The video, thanks....But can You tell me The name of this music IS so beutiful

[@banger355tw]

Thank you

[@shoot4thstars]

Can I use drinking alcohol like whisky or any other strong spirits? I have allergies & can’t handle the ones commonly used for art . If it’s food based it’s okay.

[@monetcafe]

shoot4thstars Yes! But try to use ones that are clear like vodka or gin unless you want a warm tone (as whiskey would provide). White wine would probably work too 👍🏻💜 Happy Painting and cheers 😄😉

[@JLPrice-kc2uy]

Susan is correct. But speaking from experience, stay away from white port wine for reasons God has forgiven me for :) Peace

[@monetcafe]

@@JLPrice-kc2uy Ha ha my friend! ;) Praise God for His forgiveness!

[@MariaRevArt]
