Sunset Marsh Landscape/ 30 Minutes of Relaxing Pastel Painting #1

In this video I paint a serene marsh scene at sunset. I paint to music with no commentary so you can watch me paint at my intuitive best. Relax and watch the painting materialize from simple shapes to painterly detail in just 30 minutes! Enjoy the demo! Be sure to check out my other instructional videos for more detail on my process.

So loose and free. Amazing 🤩

[@esthervisser6639]

Very beautiful, you work magic. To be honest, I much prefer your video's where you explain what you're doing. You are a great teacher, nice to listen to. I have learnt a lot from you.

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you very much! I appreciate your feedback! It was fun for me for a change of pace. I will not stop the instructional videos but I did enjoy painting without talking for this one.

[@anneluedtke4858]

Amazing how you interpreted your colors from a almost B/W photo. Very beautiful!

[@angelhewitt3077]

I could watch you for hours! Thanks for taking the time to spend it with us!

[@KarenMargulis]

I appreciate that!

[@dianaangelflower6202]

[@fayrice8962]

You are right Karen. It WAS restful watching you with no dialogue for a change. It was a bonus to your usual verbal + visual teaching. Thank you so much. You have helped me immensely over the years. Blessings from Australia. 🌺❤️

[@KarenMargulis]

[@flooklh]

Thank you so much for this stunning painting. I found it so calming to just watch you without having to concentrate on what you are usually saying.

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you so much 😀

[@deborahhasty8515]

Thank you so much for this video! I love your teaching, and I've become fan of pastels since first I discovered your work. This one seems extra special. I think maybe because rather than appealing to the intellect, it appealed to my heart. In a world of chaos, this was a glimpse of peace in God's beautiful creation. Thank you!

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you so much Deborah!

[@mreinstein48]

Once again a beautiful painting lesson!! Thank you so much Karen! Thank's to you we can progress a bit! : );🥰😍 But I prefer when you talk!!!

[@KarenMargulis]

You are so welcome!

[@annehebert6959]

Love this - and the music was great. I just cannot get over the layers. I noticed you used fixative a few times...I guess that is what allows you to continue to add layers. The depth of the painting is just amazing. Thank you

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you! The fixative gives me more layers but it also allows the layers to skip over one another showing the layer underneath. I like the suggestion of texture this gives. This paper would still l=take a lot of layers without the fixative but I do like the effect it gives.

[@theamateurpoint8755]

Beautiful painting!!!!

[@KarenMargulis]

Beautiful!

[@KarenMargulis]

Thank you!

[@robinsartsandcrafts6500]

I actually miss hearing your thoughts personally, but I’m totally new to pastels, and need the instruction. I know you said in the last video I watched that people asked you not to talk. The feminist in me… Haha! Anyway I think we can just mute the video if we don’t want talking. I fell in love with every stage of this painting! ❤️

[@KarenMargulis]

Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback! As you watch the videos I share you will see that I do talk in almost all of them!

[@draganam9878]

Beautiful Karen I love your work but with music is magical love love love thank you

[@magorzatakaczmarczyk3922]

Dear Karen, what do you use to blend soft pastel?

[@debbiedavidge5566]

At 3.26 what are you using? It looks foam to smooth the work?? Curious. Thank you.

[@debbiedavidge5566]

I just realised it was pipe insulation foam! I saw you using it on another of your videos. Love your work and teachings. So informative. Thank you.

[@artaddict2313]

How do you still have acess to kitty wallis paper?

[@KarenMargulis]

I have a stash from when Kitty was selling seconds on Facebook a few years back. My pile is getting low though so I won't have it for too much longer. I figure I might as well enjoy it!
