- Do you want to save money on pastel paper? You could buy unsanded papers but they can be challenging to work on. In this demo I work on a piece of Canson Mi-Tientes unsanded paper that I repurposed and made into a sanded paper! My landscape demo is inspired by a trip to magical Iceland!

What a beautiful painting. I think I'm loving pastels, I'm a beginner and I need a lot of help.
Another beautiful piece
Thank you so much 😊
Magic 😘❤️
Thanks Sheila!
So beautiful! I’m new to Canson paper. It’s very good to know that it can be used with gesso- this might become my go-to combination for homemade surfaces
Thank you so much Karen. This is the second time I watched this video. I think I will reuse my canson paper. You are inspiring and a great teacher.
This is so beautiful! I love how simple it was and yet stunning in the end. Thank you for sharing this demo with us!
Thank you so much!
I really enjoy your demonstrations Karen. You inspire me to explore new materials and techniques. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
What a lovely painting ..all those colours in the sky amazing ..I love watching you paint
Thank you so much 😀
I have learnt not to try and put my clear gesso on so smoothly since watching two of your videos now. Thanks I love the craggyness of the surface and different directions.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
So beautiful
Thank you so much
Thank you for this helpful video! So good to know this!🤗
You are so welcome!
That's amazing, I have so much used Canson paper that was heading for the bin. I can repurpose it all, love saving money, thankyou
You are so welcome!
Yea, the finish was really nice!
Thank you!!
Damn! This is just amazing! I use Canson paper often and now I can repurpose paintings that didn't turn out so well! You are so amazing and I thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
What a marvelous painting Karen! Way way better than the photo!! Congrats!
Thank you so much!
Loved this video, Karen. I have some black Canson paper that I will try the clear gesso on. I've never done it with the paper taped up like you did; I put it lying flat on my counter and then painted it. I think that is why it would buckle up a little bit. I'll try it the way you did it here. Thanks for sharing with us all and God bless. Love your cute lil doggy, too, at the very end.
Thanks for watching!
I've used pastel ground before on Canson. I have clear gesso so I'll have to try this. I love your painting. I love all of your paintings! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much 😊
Karen, thank you for the video. I have used clear gesso on Canson paper also. It was a large piece and I did get some buckling, maybe I used too much. But it straightened out with a few books on it in a few hours. I wound up with a great painting using one of your amazing videos!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Could you do another video with restrain colors pallette, THANK YOU
Could I start out with Terry Ludwig basic landscape pastels
Another wonderful demo! Thanks, Karen. I’m looking for something in painting flowers! Do you have a video on that?
Thank you! If you go to my channel page you will be able to see all of my videos. There is one on painting daisies and some on poppies!
Hi Karen, Love your work! I have some Art spectrum Color fix smoother grain pastel paper. Do you think I should sand it before using clear gesso for repurposing? Thanks again, I was apprehensive about trying pastels, but your videos have made it much less intimidating.
It depends on how rough you wan the texture. You can certainly apply the gesso without sanding. Thanks for watching and welcome to the wonderful world of pastels!
I've done this quite a few times just to paint on something when I didn't want to do sanded! I think it's ok, I never have and still don't love it! Too much of a struggle to deal with that ugly texture😱🤐😜! HI KAREN🤗
Hi! True. But strangely sometimes I really like it....the smooth side.
I've thrown away many paintings. What about things that I kind of like? but not thoroughly. Should I re-purpose, or should I save for some reason? As 'studies'?
Great questions. I do save some of the borderline painting thinking I would someday know how to make them better. But more often than not I don't ever do that. If you paint a lot I would save some of the borderline ones!
I tried this on fresh Mi-Tientes just now, and it's warping horribly -- pressing it flat doesn't seem to be helping. I wonder if this only works on paper that already has a layer of pastel to protect it from the moisture. I've been getting great results making my own paper with Ohuhu watercolor blocks, which are much cheaper and stay flat as they dry.
Update: I tried a sheet with pastel, and only secured it with tape loops (the other papers I'd taped down all the way around.). It warped less although the edges did curl and one corner popped up. Maybe if I had it more secure with the tape tabs it'd have turned out better. Not sure how Karen got such a great result!
I have tried this seversl times and it buckles horribly every time. So badly that it is not remotely usable. Wonder why?
I am not sure! Some one speculated it had to do with the color of the paper? I am going to do more experiments! This was white paper.
@@KarenMargulis I had used the coloured paper that I had in a pad.
If it buckles, let it dry and then spray the back lightly with water. Then put some heavy books on it and let it dry again. It should dry flat.
Watercolor trick.
However....I like the texture of thegesso on the Canson, just not the Canson on its own
