How to Paint Misty Mountains & Fog - Pastel Painting Tutorial

Join me in this soft pastel painting tutorial where I will guide you through my tips and techniques for painting misty and foggy mountains.
I just love the smoky mountains of North Carolina and I am blessed that my entire family tree is from that beautiful area in the Appalachian mountains.
In this lesson, I will show you how to paint mountains convincingly with neutral values and color colors. I will also share some special blending techniques to create convincing mist or fog on the mountain.

[@bacquetisabelle9772]

J’ai découvert les pastels en début d’année grâce à Cindy Barillet et j’ai craqué pour ce médium . Ça fait plusieurs vidéos que je regarde . Elles sont toutes très intéressantes et pleins de conseils . Ce sera un plaisir de faire ce tableau et peut-être d’autres . Merci

[@graciousmom4127]

Enjoyed it so much! Even watched it 3x 😆, painting is so beautiful than the photo reference. Love you ma'am! Be blessed always! 🙏😚

Very grounded in the tradition of Monet. 👍 I love the rich color tones that leads my eyes throughout the painting located left of purple. My most favorite work of Monet, is the woman with a parasol. Although she should be in more of a darker silhouette, he brings out outlines of the sun coming from over her right shoulder, seems to trick you into buying all the richness from her, then lands you down into the grass with strong contrast. As always, great job. Jesus for president... 🤟

[@monetcafe]

Thank you so much my friend!!! Lovely words as always. And yes... Jesus for President.... but truly, He's already King ;) wink.

@@monetcafe OMG... you got me there sister. 😂 He's always been in my life from a child. Although, he's gotten into trouble, but he's always pulled me out. 💜

[@sharonaiken1846]

Pool noodles never worked well for me. I thought it would but no. I love your TL pastels and I have to say, I love THIS painting SOOO very much! I can't wait to give this a try. Thank you for your patreon and Monet Cafe channel. Your sweet encouragement helped bring me back to pastel painting. You and Karen Margulis are wonderful, each different, but terrific teachers.

[@monetcafe]

Thanks so much 😊 That blesses me Sharon!

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

This is just gorgeous! I saw it on fb and I Iove it. Thanks for sharing! I live in Virginia. I can see both the Appalachians and Blue Ridge from my windows. I love the mountains too. I am always reminded of the scripture. ....."He touches the mountains and they smoke." 104:32 God bless you, Susan.

[@monetcafe]

Oh wow! I love that verse!! And what a blessing to live where you do!! Glorious and Praise Jesus!

I hit the like button for that great hack to get the drawing proportions! I’ve used a proportion calculator and it’s 🤯. But this hack is brilliant! How did I not know this? I mean it seems common sense, especially if one uses photoshop programs! My brain just didn’t make the leap. Thank you!!

[@monetcafe]

Ha ha.... yes, I just love simple little hacks like that which can save us so much time! I LOVE sharing these things. So glad you picked up on that and I hope it will be useful :)

Beautiful ❤️ getting a new studio space will be so wonderful! I don't know what easel brands you're looking at getting but it's possible that a company may want to do a sponsored video with you. I hope you have fun shopping for new studio furniture. Cheap Joe's art supply in north Carolina is family owned and they have their own brand of easels. I got their cherry wood signature watercolor easel. it tips completely flat like a table when needed and their taboret with a glass pull out mixing drawer. I've had both for about 7yrs now and they're still in 'like new' condition and I use them all day every day. Anyhow, I highly recommend their easels if you don't want the price tag of a Santa Fe but you still want great quality. 💕

[@monetcafe]

Thanks so much and that's a great idea about getting an easel company to donate an easel in order to sponsor a video. And I didn't know Cheap Joe's was in NC and family owned!!! Wow... I'll have to purchase from them more often! Would love to go there and pick out studio supplies and more .... could make a vacation out of it. Thank you my friend for sharing!

[@KikiFu]

@@monetcafe You're welcome, God bless! That would be such a fun trip! I've had great experiences with them for years.

[@dianemasloroff3916]

Susan, I love your videos, I am learning so much about pastel painting and have fallen in love with it. Where do I go to find your information on your tutorial video's. I am a patreon member however, I am still trying to discover all the information you offer.

[@monetcafe]

Hi Diane, thanks so much for being my patron sweetheart. I recently made a new welcome video and letter that has lots of helpful information for navigating and finding everything on my Patreon page. I’ll send you a message through Patreon that has a link to find that. And don’t hesitate to message me through Patreon if you have any other questions. Those are the messages I check most frequently. Have fun sweetheart.

[@monetcafe]

Hi Diane, I looked for you on my Patreon page and couldn't find your name. Do you use a different last name on the Patreon account? Feel free to email if you like @ [e-mail]

[@aleistergarcia3094]

Don't know if it's been answered before but would I be able to clear gesso a regular stretched canvas to use it as a pastel surface, I have some bigger panels and would love to chllenge myself on some bigger paintings.

[@monetcafe]

I've applied clear gesso to canvas with some fair results. The challenge is the texture of the canvas so a few coats of gesso might be helpful. I have a video tutorial where I did this.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpnFiZRpnsdqiqc

Is alcohol the same as solvent?

[@Magic65750]

I'm so sorry you lost your jobs.

[@monetcafe]

Thanks Chris, but I'm always amazed at how God works. Even though it has been a challenging time, I am now able to dedicate more time to my art career. :)
