Paint a Landscape with ONLY 12 PASTELS!
Join me in this BEGINNER REAL TIME tutorial where I prove that you can paint a lovely landscape using only 12 Color Selections! This proves you don't have to have a vast supply of pastel colors to create a painting. And often I find it liberating and effective when I limit my palette to a small selection like this.
Thank my Patrons for this video because this was a lesson from my Patreon page (link below to join). I have released this video here on Monet Cafe' since I am out of town caring for a loved one with terminal cancer. I am so grateful for prayers being answered, and I should be back in my home studio soon. Blessings everyone, and if you create from this video feel free to share on Instagram and tag me @susanjenkinsartist. :)

Hii Susan, Beautiful lesson sis, I'll surely follow the instructions and will paint paintings using less pastels. Though I've not started painting because I've to cover my syllabus I left in my recovery period. Uk I was very sad for loved wise soul. I've been praying for her. My prayers are always with the lord, I pray to the holy spirit for the peace and enlightenment. I hope your mum in law will be healthy soon. May lord bless us all during these hard phases of life. Love from India ❤️ Anish

About 7 sets. I have found so much joy in all the genres I have experimented with. I think watercolors will give the a lot more satisfaction. For my friends it will be time together once a month Hopefully. For my family my niece and her 2 daughters will have to work with me via live video. For my sister who is an amazing artist with oil painting, I want her to discover the incredible effects she can achieve with other mediums. Makes me a little nervous because I am a novice. I know we will all get thru this together. I did not spend 2+ years watching videos without gaining so much knowledge about what I wanted to do. Now

North Florida here . Overcast today.I like how you show just 12 colors. I’m always scrabbling back looking through my pastels. I’m going to try to have my colors picked out first.

It's very well rendered and it looks like Monet's Impression, Sunrise it's nice and soft feel to it.

Mom bought pastels when a teen. It was simpler to chalk. So now I am an old lady tgat want to do art again. My daughter bought some oil pastels. Not familiar to these so got some homework to do. Love watching you! Beautiful work!

Nicely done! I was also thinking that you were going to paint the painting with a general pastel set of 12 “regular” sticks. I am learning select my pastels after I complete my value sketch. I am not sure if I would attempt to make a painting with only 12 sticks no matter how many I have to choose from! Thank you for sharing, Please keep going and stay safe.

Thank you for this video,I am new to pastels and wonder why you need to underpaint ,thanks again for this beautiful painting

@monetcafe Жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! The reason I often will tone a surface with an under painting color is because it creates color contrast. Often I use a color that is complementary to the main colors in the reference image. This makes the colors feel more alive and I try to leave little bits of the underpaintings peeking through. It leads to color, excitement, and Energy.

It's not just Florida. I'm in SC and Uart always curls at the edges. So annoying.

That's what I've been hearing. I have recently started using Fisher pastel paper. It's literally just like UArt but doesn't curl AT ALL! yay! I buy it from www.proartpanels.com

What is an under painting and why would you would need to use it

@monetcafe Жыл бұрын

I love using underpaintings because I feel they add to a colorful and loose energy prior to adding detail. The goal is for the underpainting to peek through a bit and create a nice base. It’s also a way to lay down your major big shapes and values and colors which acts as a roadmap for the painting. I love using vibrant colors for under paintings because they influence the final piece in a dramatic and beautiful way.

Here’s a video I made on the reasons for an under painting… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibBjltV9vJ7Qmac.html

@SharonFoster852 2 жыл бұрын

On the foreground grasses you used a complementary color for the underpainting, but in the sky you went straight to the cerulean blue. How do you decide what colors to start with?

@monetcafe 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a great question Sharon, and one that I get often. Determining under painting colors can have a bit of a strategy, but sometimes it’s just intuitive. You were very observant that I didn’t put a warm color as an underpainting in the sky, but sometimes I do. Often I will lay down the underpainting according to value… For example, darker warm tones in the foreground middle warm tones in the middle ground, and light warm tones in the sky. But sometimes I’ll just tones the whole board one color. And then like in this video I might just start painting the sky without an under paining. So lots of strategies work, I always recommend to play with studies first and experiment.

Not a big deal if your 12 pastels are chosen from hundreds specifically for the particular landscape and are making a harmonic palette. Try to paint a landscape using a box of 12 pastels which is on sale. That would be a challenge :D

@monetcafe 3 жыл бұрын

I do understand your point. A lot of sets, especially those on sale, don’t have the best selections. But I have found a few smaller sets that are quite capable of painting landscapes. I’ll have to make a video sharing these.

@@monetcafe, actually, that was my thought when I saw the name of the video, that you are using a box of 12 pastels ))) I think it would be an interesting challenge - to make a colorful (!) landscape - not duotone or three tons, which also would be too simple)
