Even if nobody else ever saw a single one of your videos, I want you to know that it has been worth every second of effort you've put into them to me. I have been totally blessed by them in 2023 and can't wait to see what's in store for next year! Thanks a million just for being you!!!😊

Oh Michele you are absolutely brilliant! You are such an amazing teacher!! I am a 71 year old beginner to everything really and have only been around for about 2 years but for all of those 2 years I have been been looking at several wonderful teachers for information on pastels. Dry / oil / pan. How to use, when to use, etc. I have never once heard all of the amazing information you have provided here - thank you so so so much. With your explanations I have also learned why things didn't work that I may have tried in the past. Pastels are something that have drawn me since I was a little girl, but nothing I have watched has ever made sense or worked, so I actually just have them all packed away. Until now! I honestly can't thank you enough. In all the mediums you are an absolutely amazing teacher and I just want to thank you for being here. I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season!

Yes Please!!! Would love a full tutorial on that tracing of the lotus flower on paper, that was fascinating!! I recently just got into oil pastels maybe 2 months ago, so this video was great timing! Love the boldness of the colors, i couldn't ignore the fluorescent colours when I saw them at the art store even though I had no idea how to use them? The colours are just so vibrant and add a lot when i put them on flowers, meadows, grasses, and skies of my watercolour paintings. But, since I am new to pastels, still trying to figure out the best techniques. Love your videos ❤ you have helped me a lot this last year on my journey of discovering watercolour.

I paint with acrylics, so I use water-soluble pastels to introduce transparent color onto a light opaque base. It’s great for portrait shadows and highlights. But I will try your oil pastel tips on my landscapes, especially where I want to make tall grasses and sparkling water. Thanks.
