Canadian Rockies - Pastel Painting Landscape Demo

[@ginidrouillard108]

Love this, loved how u added the darker blue on top high in your sky

[@danielleauer8402]

I learned here it's the underpainting, vary the pressure and marks, then 1. use local color in that and 2. shape it similar to where you want the picture to go, but no detail. I think i understand this now, thank you so. I have been struggling some in this

That is a fantastic painting! You are a genius Marla! Like a really great jazz Singer that surprises the audience with her choice of tones and timing! Love it!

[@shelleybrandon2825]

I totally enjoyed this painting! I appreciate you allowing us into the process of choices you were making for your interpretation of this piece. I can't help but get bogged down in too much detail of a landscape, so demos like this are immensely helpful! By the way, you made your rendition just sparkle!

Very well done!

[@lydiawebber1846]

Love it! I also learned from you to sparingly blend with fingers, which gives the painting a whole new feeling. Thank you for these lessons!

I am amazed how you transform a kind of drab photo into a vibrant thing of beauty!! Thank you for your postings!!!

Hi Marla, taking a break from your 28 week class watching this beautiful painting unfold. I can’t stop wondering, from the first lesson to this one, why we (you) never use grey grey, why is everything either purple grey or blue grey ? Grey is boring ?

[@shamsart]

Amazing

[@mlinden20905]

Gorgeous picture! I'm new to pastels and the only thing I wish you would say is what the colors are you are using as you go along in making the picture. I can guess but with the color shift on computers you never know if you are correct.

[@PaintingLessonsWithMarla]

I actually don't memorize the color names.

[@aynapaisley]

Marla thank you so much for sharing this! Would you mind telling me what colour of Pastelmat are you using here?

[@klausbantzer4077]

What paper do you use? Do you prepare it with gesso or something else?

[@senojah]

Beautiful! What pastels are you using? Do use fixative?

[@TheAmoffett13]

Did you paint this scene twice? I am confused that as you finished the tutorial the picture of your painting is really quite different to the shot of the same scene (last few seconds). Or have you gone back after the end of the tutorial and touched up and added some more finishing marks? The two pictures are really quite different.

I'm sure that you don't work that fast at home. You do take your time, right?
