Soft Pastel Painting Tutorial - Winter Hay Bales - Beginner Friendly
Channel: Monet Cafe' with Artist Susan Jenkins
Date: 21/12/2022

There's something about hay bales in a field that I find so artistic. Adding a snowy winter landscape enhances the artistic beauty and allure of the scene. 

In this Beginner-Friendly lesson, I will guide you through the products used, the initial stages of blocking in a painting, and numerous artistic principals that will give you a solid foundation for painting with soft pastels.

I used primarily one set of pastels... the Jack Richeson Landscape Set of 40, and the surface I used is a sanded pastel surface called, Pastel Premier. It was the first time I had tried this surface and I loved it! I was beyond thrilled at how the Jack Richeson pastels applied so smoothly to this surface.  Also, I have a product review video on Amazon of the Jack Richeson set if you would like to watch:
