Wonderfully impressionistic oranges! I like how you kept offering advice on how to create marks and keeping our hands clean between picking up our next color of pastel! Learning how to avoid muddling our colors with each other! Finally knowing when to stop to keep the painting fresh! Thank you for sharing your incredible experience with us. I know so many people who are raving about how they have improved since taking your landscape classes! You have given so much, to so many. Thank you.

[@rogersolvery6533]

Magnifique comme toujours bravos à vous

[@AlainPicard]

Merci beaucoup Roger!

[@olivierdeme3886]

Hi Alain, thank you for another gem of a video. I love how the orange light glows from the pulp. Breaking out edges for impressionistic style is a great tip. I have a question. I see that many of your pastels are of short length which allows you to use the side of the pastel and produce smaller details. I use half pastels but they still feel long to achieve this. Would you break half pastels in two voluntarily? Thanks!

[@michep.169]

Really beautiful. You don’t blend so it’s fresh . Impressive

[@AlainPicard]

Thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed! Keep painting

[@valentinal.1162]

Stunning. What brand of pastels do you use and recommend

[@AlainPicard]

Hi Robin, I have a video that shows you what pastels I use and recommend. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH-TpKWtbtWeoqc

[@dulcieogilvie5786]

I am tempted to try this. Not sure I have the right vibrant colours tho……..

[@AlainPicard]

Start with what you have and enjoy the process!

[@tetianaabramov]

❤❤❤💯👍

[@AlainPicard]

thanks for liking!

[@Skinnychelle48]

As a newbie, when people say pastels, are they referring to to chalk pastels or oil pastels typically?

[@AlainPicard]

typically chalk pastels, which are a water soluble pastel. Oil based are very different in their handling.

[@Skinnychelle48]

@@AlainPicard I have both I just didn’t know which one artists were talking about when they said just PASTELS. Thank u for answering me back! 👍🏾

[@AlainPicard]

@@Skinnychelle48 my pleasure. Happy to help!
