I’m a true believer that the fundamentals of painting combined with our individual voices make painting a uniquely satisfying endeavor. As a teacher, I provide a strong base of the fundamentals of painting to guide every student in reaching their unique artistic intentions in a supportive, nurturing and creative environment.” - Marla

What a wonderful video, so helpful for people just starting to paint in soft pastels! I often think Rembrandts are a good choice to start with, as they can make fine lines as well as swaths of color, and are relatively affordable.

I have sennelier but i bought the Rembrandt Luscious greens 5 pack (gorgeous). I love Rembrandt more than sennelier now and they are far less dusty/messy.

Thank you for sharing this, it looks great. Just one point - you can indeed blend pastels on pastelmat, but not before you have half a dozen layers or so. And it's not as easy with a harder pastel like Rembrandt 😊

[@margaretbrownhill1193]

Thankyou so much for doing this, especially how to wear the sides of these sticks down before putting it on the paper. I’m a beginner and have been finding it a bit difficult how to use my Rembrandts . I just found you and have subscribed. It was wonderful having something for a complete beginner

[@SheridansSojourn]

I bought this set a couple months ago thinking it might be enough to get started. I got frustrated because all the online artist has such a broader palette and I don't have any instructors close by. I felt stuck until now. Thanks, Marla!

Awesome. This is very useful for beginners. Very cool result. I never bought Rembrandt because I always thought they were too hard. I saved money for unison 😁 and I bought the trial pack of sennelier (love the white), after my father got me gallery semi-hard. I think that if I had a video like this before I would have given Rembrandt a try 😊

[@dianadell618]

Thank you Marla, beautiful

[@theresemchugh170]

As a beginner, I can totally relate to this session! A great complement to your usual fantastic videos. Always fascinated by how you get to your final painting. Thank You!

[@deniseshaw3871]

So inspirational thank you for tip about new pastels I have these and dont know how to use from new!

[@veystone2580]

Hi. Quick question, is the white opaque enough to go on top of a dark color?

[@creativebobbo]

Outstanding!

[@karenhinson9582]

Nice lesson. I like your interpretation.

[@montasirwali7119]

[@aartipoojari4447]

Beautiful 🤗

[@MrJairo3259]

Amazing!

[@vaniamiasnikoff9474]

What paper did you use I bought these exact chalks and idk what paper to use. Ppl are saying paper matters I’m a beginner

[@valentine063]

Haha, in my country Remrandt pastel calls like professional. Maybe because other brand like schminke or Sennelier are very very expensive because all brands are imported.

[@shamsart]

Really nice

[@alfredotobonpachon8801]

I like it. Is it oíl pastels?

[@jaelynnmatthew2341]

They are soft pastels, also called chalk pastels!

[@vittoriospadanuda7588]

I think you are a very good painter, Marla. And you could do something better than that. Also with Rembrandt pastels...

[@flyfisherman3649]

Rembrandt pastels are to hard for the painting. You should have tried Blue Earth pastels.
