Welcome back, Karen! 🎉 I think I can speak on behalf of all of your KZbin followers, we missed you! Thank you for sharing your process with this beautiful winter scene!

[@KarenMargulis]

Will share with my 93 year old mama who enjoys pastel art!

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you!!! Tell her I said hello!

[@monicabierman3450]

Karen, I have recently discovered you, also being new at soft pastels ( I work in oils). I have been binge watching your youtube videos, and I can honestly say, you are not only a great artist, but an unbelievably good teacher. Of all the artist I have been watching, you are the best teacher in my opinion. I have already learn so much from you- I love how you use color/ s to make the painting so interesting and beautiful! I am definitely considering to becoming a patreon. THANK you from the bottom of my/ our hearts, and thank you for all your hard work and time. Thank you also for this wonderful new video. 🌻

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you very much for your feedback and for watching. I hope to see you over on Patreon!!

[@sandeVBL]

Her Patreon channel is offered at a great price and the content is consistent and excellent. Great value!

[@KarenMargulis]

Thanks so much, I am always trying to provide the best value for my Patreon subscribers!

[@sandeVBL]

@ I’ve tried several artist Patreon channels and yours is my favorite for several reasons. Price, content, teaching of general art principles that can carry over into other media, easy to listen to and understand, variety of subjects, and wonderful art.

Thank you, thank you! I didn't realize how much I missed your instruction and techniques. If I were more self motivated I would sign up for your Patreon channel. I have a busy winter and spring and am enrolled in one pastel course, so maybe in the Fall I'll be able to take advantage of your artistic offerings.

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you for your kind words. I hope to see you on Patreon in the Fall!

[@canadaverydry]

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you so much!

[@mayawyn8672]

After catching up with your great video on Antarctica (penguins!) on patreon this morning I found this demo on my youtube feed so today is double the fun in pastels. I discovered your patreon here on youtube a couple of years ago and it has been a wonderful addition to my pastel journey. The community there is also very welcoming and non-judgmental. Glad to see your excellent instruction anywhere, anytime! (maya)

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you so much for your support and kind words, Maya!

[@giftedsmith1511]

Love this painting

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@KarinH-m3j]

Karen , thank you for the fresh new lesson. I loved it. What is your policy on artists posting their versions of your tutorials on social media? Not at all or okay if we give you full recognition?

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate you asking about posting work from my demos. Feel free to post your version with credit to me. I would love for you to share a link to the demo!

[@KarinH-m3j]

@@KarenMargulisthank you! Btw I joined your Patreon group yesterday. 😊

[@jeffreygale4409]

Beautiful. Wondering why you chose to use a charcoal tick rather than a hard pastel or a pastel pencil. Thank you.

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you! I like how thin this charcoal stick is but a hard pastel would do great as well!

[@genevieveskipper184]

I love winter but struggle to indicate bare trees. Thank you

[@KarenMargulis]

You're welcome! I hope the video helped!
