Karen, I believe you have just given me the solution to my physical Limitations! I have eye problems which prevent me from pursuing my new found love of detailed graphite drawing and, more recently, developed tendinitis In my left (dominant) hand making brush and pastel work really painful. Whilst watching this video, I have resolved to dig out some redundant paper and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE tonal drawings with my right hand - limited vision should help me isolate values and using my non-dominant hand will necessitate much looser mark- making. I am suddenly feeling much more optimistic about my art by turning challenges into opportunities. Thank you, my friend.

I'm trying to get my arms around working with pastels, so this is a good exercise to get to know the color families and value relationships, as well as temperature.

Thankyou very much Karen for your painting tutorial/demonstration. A very good tonal study, I am new to Soft Pastels but I learned quite a lot in only 20 odd mins. The structure works fantastically, hence why you are a master Pastellist.

Excellent video Karen! Thank you. If in your next video you could go over how you select the harmonious color selections of your pastels that would really help too. I am finding it difficult to make my paintings "less realistic" and more "impressionistic" by using different colors than my reference photo has to offer.

Hi Karen. Great video. You mentioned warm and cool blues. What is the difference between the two? Is the greener blue warmer, or is bluer blue warmer? Thanks.
@KarenMargulis6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching Christine! The warm blues have more yellow in them so become greener blue. Check out my pattern page. We explored color for 2 months and color temperature was one of our lessons! www.patreon.com/karenmargulis
