Channel: Monet Cafe' with Artist Susan Jenkins
Date: 2023-04-02

It seems like I'm always learning something new when painting with soft pastels. While creating this painting (that I painted without any lesson in mind) I discovered 2 NEW Pastel Painting Tricks that I will definitely use again. I'm so glad I was filming so I could share with you. Watch to find out and let me know what you think!

This painting is of a beautiful field, blanketed with purple flowers. In this lesson you will be able to follow along with me as I...
1. Paint a brilliant underpainting using Inktense Blocks
2. Blend pastels with a method I've never tried before
3. Gently layer soft pastels to create a field of purple flowers and grasses
4. Make a color correction with a new technique (watch the video to find out)! 

So, my goal for this particular painting was to paint like nobody was watching.... but I'm thankful to share these new discoveries with you.

I encourage you to do the same! When you allow yourself to create just for the sake of creation, without the weight of expectation or judgment, you can rediscover the sheer joy of the the artistic process. I encourage you to let your imagination run wild, and paint with reckless abandon. Let your heart be your guide and revel in the joy of creation.

I hope you enjoy recreating from this tutorial and if you share your recreations on social media, please mention this video and tag me:
