I love your videos and watch them over and over again because I learn something new over time. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful artist and teacher!
Interesting handling of values in this picture. It looks like lowest values first and a rapid jump to high value areas. The intensity is set up this way as you move toward mid-value?
Wonderful advice Marla,I am primarily a Watercolor artist,but am trying my hand at Pastel too. I did 2 workshops this past year at the Clearing in Door County Wisconsin!
Very nice work. Pastel paper is too expensive for me. Been studying how to use watercolor paper and gessoing it. Is that just as good? Haven't tried it yet.
Months ago, I removed all the wrappers from my pastels. It is awesome. I am loving your tutorials!!! It is great to hear the basics and see the luminosity that you create with visual color mixing. i still have one HUGE issue with my pastels. What to do about the air quality. I am breathing this dust in. I never see you with a mask nor have i heard you address this problem. Could you let us know what steps you have taken??? Please. Thank you for your wonderful sharing heart.
Hello Marla, thank you so much for the tutorials. I have learned a lot. Which pastel brand do you use in this lesson? I love the green shades. Thanks. Annie
This is what I was looking for, a little out of the box. No use repeating whay everyone else is teaching. We can get that from any five dollat book about pastels.
What you say is true for achieving affects that capture a "realist" perspective. I LOVE your work. However; you say in the first part...."how to get from "HERE" to "THERE", showing a simple blocked in rendering. See, what I seek to do is to get from "THERE" to "HERE"! I love Louisa Matthiasdottir and her simple, almost abstract, blocks of shapes and color. So, for achieving a "realism" approach...you have that nailed down! But there is no "correct" way....only correct "ways' for achieving whatever it is you are seeking to achieve!!! (that is probably the most important psychological and philosophical point to pursue in any FINE ART endeavor. An artist has to understand and KNOW what it is they are seeking...and reveal that in the results of the search!!
3 min. 5 sec. '' next, I'm picking up a second stick that is in the same color family but of slightly different hue and slightly different intensity." I know that there isn't a standard vocabulary to describe terms. But I equate hue with color family. Perhaps you meant slightly different value rather than hue. Do you ever paint still Lifes? Or do pastels not lend themselves to formats other than landscape?
Hi. Thanks for watching. Actually there is a very standard vocabulary when referring to the aspects of color. There are three aspects responsible for a colors appearance; hue, value and intensity(also referred to as saturation or chroma). Color temperature is embedded in hue. So when I said I was picking up a stick in the same color family (perhaps a green), I may have been picking up a slightly different "green". Maybe a more emerald green rather than an olive green. A colors intensity a separate aspect from it's value. A great resource for this understanding is David Hornung's book "Color: a workshop for artists and designers".
Painting Lessons with Marla ..well, I was thinking of how color and hue are often used interchangeably. Same with chroma, intensity and saturation....value / tone. And medium, mediums and media are all over the place. Do you ever do still Lifes?
Thanks so much, great video, I don’t really use pastels.. btw we are not “guys”, I bet most of the people watching are WOMEN! You might want to change your language, thanks for being aware, I can tell that you are very smart! And a very good teacher.
You just woke my deep love of COLORS! I’d hit a wall, and now I see that I can walk right through it, and on to the next piece!

Maria thank you so much for helping me to become less the painter I am; and more the one I want to be.
The negative shapes technique is so eye catching! Just love it!!! Thank you for demonstrating these 2 skills which makes everything so fun!
JE suis scotché devant de tels conseils dans vos démos ! quel plaisir dans cette harmonie des couleurs. merci
Thank you Marla!! Great demo.
Glad it was helpful!

Lovely simply a joy watching you work and learning how this new(to me) medium works!
Straight to the point and incredibly valuable. THANK YOU!

Thank you Marla. Wonderfully helpful advice. I use watercolour also, but beginning to love pastel.
I wouldn't call realism amateurish. It requires great skill. I actually prefer realism over this style, but to each their own.
Inspirational. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great lesson....thx so much
thank you, Marla!

Thanks for the lesson!
That is what I am looking for, how to move from brite, original oil painting techniques to pastel practices that will bring me similiar reeults.
you are nr 1
Are the luscious pastels Terry Ludwig’s?
Porquéno haces tu clase en español ????? Te escribo desde Chile

But your shadow
people who paint realism or even hyper realism are not amateurish or naive.
Which brand pastels do you use? If you reply to people’s questions you’ll get more subscribers, imo.
just check out jason Morgan's u tube channel. particularly his pastel wildlife paintings. not naive or amateurish at all.
Thank you so Mach!
