Thank you for inspiring me to get back into the mood for pastels. Going through an uninspired bad patch -watching you work always gets my imagination going again :)
Hi Karen:thank you for your time to make these amazing video,would you please show us a rainy day in street, i always had a hard time capturing rain thanks again👩🏻🎨❤️
Hi Karen, I have been enjoying your tutorials and am always learning new techniques. I would like to also paint Plein Air and wonder if you can tell me the source for the portable pastel organization boxes? I appreciate your help. Monica
The painting is beautiful but it seems the camera may have been a little out of focus and also close enough to see and appreciate the last and final markings. Thanks for the demo Karen …
Hi Karen, I have a couple of questions. How can I switch my mind to the more simplistic view that I will need in order to paint landscapes? By that, I mean fewer details and a little more abstract. I am really struggling (I am very new to pastel painting and any form of art at all - only a couple of months in) with trying to put every detail I can into the painting and what can sometimes be an okay effort, suddenly gets all messed up because I try to put too much in the way of details in. Does this just come with practice? Also, do you paint ocean, beach scenes? Or mountains? Have you any tutorials for someone like me on shadows etc? Many thanks, please keep up with the Sunday Studios, they are super awesome! :)
TheAmoffett13 thanks for watching! Practice will be the key! Having a plan helps! Visit my blog for many helpful posts! Www.karenmargulis.com thanks for watching!
TheAmoffett13 there are lots of things but one to try is make your reference photos out if focus so you can’t see detail. Use the out of focus photos to start the painting!
Hey Karen, I got my first small set of Terry Ludwig's and I was really excited to use them, but they seem to be crumbling to tiny pieces when I use them. They're so expensive, I hate to keep losing so much of my sticks. Any advice?
Lauren L hi Lauren I'm not sure what to tell you. I've been using TL pastels for years without crumbling. If I press hard they might break but with a regular light touch they are fine. It does require a light touch though!
Thanks Karen. You'e been HUGELY influential in my pastelling. I just bought a trial set of UART paper too! Thanks for your videos, I'm a new fan and I've watched them all :)
kirt lapham sorry about that! I just tested on my phone and it seems fine but this was an older video done on my phone so that might explain the issue. Thanks for watching!
Karen do you think you should wear a mask while painting with pastels. I notice your voice is slightly strained and faint and you clear your throat and cough all the time. Sorry I am so blunt but from what I’ve read the pastels are as toxic as paint and shouldn’t get into your lungs. Concerned! That said I truly enjoy your work. Delightful to watch. Learn so much from you.
You have inspired me to go back to painting in pastels after many years of oils & acrylics. I am enjoying it so much. I appreciate your generous instruction & gentle manner very much. Thank you.

Thank you Karen, that was inspiring. I haven't the confidence to paint an autumn scene although I'd love to.
I really did enjoy your demo. I'm not a pastel painter but I'm enjoying watching and learning! I think I'm going to give it a try! Thanks.
Hi Karen, I could watch your videos for hours! You’re so inspiring and amazing! Thank you for all your tutorials! This one is another gem!
Love your work Karen! Thanks for another wonderful lesson.

Sorry about that. This was a much older video done as a live so these things happen.

this time the audio is echoing and many times inaudible

I love your videos but your sound system is really bad.
