Love those choppy strokes. It was an enjoyment watching you paint and the narration as it went 🥰🥰🥰

[@robertweinblatt2018]

I truly think you are the best painter as well as instructor on You Tube! I watch your vids over and over and catch a slightly different twist each time! I think your mark making is stellar and should be a course in itself! Your signature style is strong and aggressive and I bear you in mind when I paint! Thanks for the “real stuff”🥇❤️‍🔥

[@AlainPicard]

Hey thanks for the very kind comments, that means alot! Keep going, I'm so glad you are inspired to be bold and loose!

[@LinMarst]

[@AlainPicard]

Thank you Rose, I look forward to sharing the whole process with you, enjoy!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

So very glad to see this new YT video!! Looking forward to Pt 2 and more. I took your "Painterly Landscape" course this Fall and really enjoyed, and gained so many valuable skills & tools. Happy to the lifetime access to that course too; and the great community. But for those that are on fixed/limited incomes, so great to see your YT content back again. Thanks so much. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

[@AlainPicard]

Great to hear from you, and thanks for the kind words. I wish you all the best in your continued growth as an artist, keep painting!

[@mjpete27]

Thank you Alain! A tremendous start of a lovely painting! I am intrigued by the selection of pastels before you even started making your marks! I am looking forward to watching part 2 along with the rest of your viewers! I also appreciate the content here on KZbin! I know that you are quite busy with your paying customers and creating a living with your art! Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season!

[@AlainPicard]

[@kamleshsunak3176]

Thank you, Alain.

[@AlainPicard]

You are very welcome Kamlesh, all my best!

[@mjpete27]

I just wanted to add that your techniques are amazing, just how the vine charcoal does not snap into pieces, I end up with several smaller pieces when I use it, I had better work on my heavy hand syndrome! Not even sure that is a thing! But that’s what I am going to call it! So many lovely marks when you change to the pastel sticks! See you soon for pt.2!

[@AlainPicard]

I have snapped many a stick of vine charcoal, it's easy to do! But developing a lighter hand is a good practice in pastel. All the best Michael!

[@ritatownsend7408]

New video? I’m so excited!

[@AlainPicard]

I'm so excited that YOU are excited!

[@mikenorton6899]

I look forward to painting this, thanks for posting the demo. I like the toned paper, mind saying what brand/grit it is?

[@AlainPicard]

Pastelmat Dark Grey Mike. It's not a grit, but a great surface.

[@rosecrerar6384]

Could you show what the gator board looks like? And how it's attached.

[@AlainPicard]

Hi Rose, just watch the video on my channel called How To Mount Your Pastel Paper where I will show you all of this.
