Thank you for such lovely feedback!

GREAT job, Emma. If you struggled doing this, one would never tell by the process (even time-lapse) and the completed painting. It is stunning! LOVE the color palette you used, too.

Great job Emma, it looks wonderful. Definitely, trees and winter limbs are very difficult.

When I decided to try pastels, I learned from your videos of painting animals. I used Pastelmat and Unisons as did you. I learned so much that I applied to still life successfully. I am now learning to paint landscapes and appreciate this video since I paint more realistic than other pastelist and so this tutorial helps immensely🥰. A HEARTFUL THANK YOU EMMA.

Thank you for the lovely comment! It's amazing how the same skills can be applied to different things. Keep exploring as I am too!

Absolutely gorgeous Emma……it’s snowing here in Aberdeenshire just now, and I live out in the sticks, down a lane……you’ve got this spot on! 👌 this is like a scene from when we get snowed in every winter 🩵🤍💙💜⛄️❄️

[@EmmaColbertArt]

Thank you! I bet it's been beautiful there this Winter. Glad I got a chance to experience it a little even if only through painting it.

It's so incredibly beautiful. I love the colour choices and all the details in the front. Your trees are flawless.

[@EmmaColbertArt]

Thank you! Trees have definitely improved :-)

Beautiful play in the shadows, I enjoy the blenders and have even used cotton ear buds. I enjoy Richeson pastels very much. They are made very well and their company cares. Lovely play on complementary colors a bit in the sky. Super!😊

[@EmmaColbertArt]

Thank you! I love the Richesons too. So many lovely brands out there!

Emma this is absolutely stunning.You are an incredible artist and a joy to watch and learn from. Thankyou so much for all the inspiration you give me to improve What you make those stubby little sticks do is amazing❤

You are an artistic genius! It’s lovely to hear your beautiful local accent too Emma. 🥰 I’m from Co. Down and absolutely love your work. ☺️

[@EmmaColbertArt]

Thank you! Putting a bit of Norn Iron out there :-)

[@marjo-riittareinikainen9740]

Very interesting to see your painting style! Some other pastel painters do so much more layering, as it would be the only way to paint with pastels. I feel liberated to see your style. Thank you!

[@EmmaColbertArt]

Thanks for the comment! There are so many different ways to use soft pastel. No right or wrong way, just lots of variety!

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Emma, As I watched you create this better than the photograph painting! I wondered how you manage to use every speck of soft pastel? You use the smallest pieces and I guess my ham handed use just seems inadequate for the fine use that you are able to put them to, is there some technique that I am not discovering? I am using pastel pencils for my fine lines, I am just not able to get the fine lines your able to conjure out of those fine specks of pastel! Thanks for sharing this quick time version with us. I know Patreons get a better look and how I wish I was able to be a part of that group again! Thanks for continuing to show others how it can be done, even if we are a bit taken away by your prowess with the sticks! Lovely painting, Thanks again!

[@EmmaColbertArt]

Thank you! I don't think there is anything more I can say only that I have spent so many hours using the pastel sticks and sometimes it is a case of sitting very still and barely daring to breathe when adding a small detail. But it's also great that we have the pastel pencils as even I need to resort to the small point sometimes! It's definitely a struggle with the sticks, don't be fooled by the ease of the timelapse :-)
