Even if your not a beginner it will still help someone reinforce what they have already learned. Great video!

[@marytesta3003]

All of your lessons are fantastic. I ordered Paul Rubens but Rembrandt and Sennelier aren't much more really. Are Sennelier to soft for a zero experience beginner?

[@dariabuczynski9711]

Thank you for this nice easy lesson and also for not droning on as some do. You are precise and I so enjoy your lessons

Lovely trees! As a beginner with pastels, this will be a great tutorial for me to follow 😊. Thank you!

[@monetcafe]

Wonderful, Monalisa. I love helping beginner pastel artists!

Autumn; a time to harvest; a time of Thanksgiving. I always liked the name, "Autumn" In fact the first girl I fell in love with, was her name. Her hair was of Auburn, that acted-as a Halo; giving her ruddy complexion a softness to her blue eyes. Until one day she punched me because I wouldn't share the pink crayon. She broke my heart that day. Suddenly one day in Jr. High School, while standing on the track field; she decided to express her love for me. Fortunately... I held the second fastest time in school... I see freckles, Im gone.. Great tip Susan, and thanks for the memories. 😜

[@marjo-riittareinikainen9740]

Very nice! It’s some time I have done anything with pastels, I may do now!

[@monetcafe]

You can do it 👍🏻☺️💜

[@sharonaiken1846]

I love the concept of the inside out. That's really what it is, really. I love your paintings, but I am partial to y your trees.

[@monetcafe]

Yes, that concept really helped me to understand about how to layer values and colors. So happy it was helpful, Sharon.

[@nancysteffen7902]

First time watching a video of yours and I am hooked!!! Thank you ☺️ I’ve always used my pastels as accents to my mixed media art, but now you’ve inspired me to use it as a primary medium!!! So excited! Thank you again 🤩♥️🎈

[@monetcafe]

You are so welcome! I’m so excited for you Nancy!

[@mjpete27]

Lovely video Susan, I believe it is a bit easier tutorial to follow, Thanks! I do not care for this Canson paper but their newer pebbled sand texture paper is so much better and even less expensive than the Mi-Teintes papers. Your mixing of the colors is done so well. Thanks for continuing to show us here on KZbin too!

[@monetcafe]

Thanks my friend... are you referring to the Canson XL papers? I have some and I really like it.

[@mjpete27]

@@monetcafe Lindsay Weirich used "Canson XL Sand Grain Dry Mixed Media Pads" during her month of September Pastels and I got some and it is the best cheap paper for pastels ever! It is not sanded paper but a sand texture.

[@mreinstein48]

Just what I needed!

[@monetcafe]

Hooray!! So happy to hear that sweetheart 🙌🏻☺️💜

[@marytesta3003]

Autumn is my favorite season. Thank you for the great tutorials you give. Has anyone tried Blick soft pastels? I ordered Paul Rubens but having 2nd thoughts. Some say Sennelier is to soft to learn with. Any thoughts for a not so good artist!

[@monetcafe]

I haven't used Blick pastels, but I've had some of my followers say they like them. Paul Ruben's pastels are similar in consistency to Sennelier. Personally, I don't think they are too soft to learn with, but if you prefer a harder brand you might try Rembrandts.

[@annieliou6594]

I love your chanel very much. After watching the films I start to paint pastel painting. Thanks a lot. May I ask how do you preserve all the painting when you finished them? Thanks 😍

[@monetcafe]

Hi Annie I’m so happy you liked my channel. I actually store my pastel paintings in clear plastic bags that I get from www.clearbags.com. I insert the painting in the bag with a piece of foam core board cut to fit. It works great and keeps the painting safe for handling and shipping.
