      When I'm following along with you, my mind tries to guess where you are going. When you veer off
      of my expected track... that when I'm learning new things.
      I still don't understand how you choose your colors to be "more" for the impressionistic look but I'm learning that, as well.

    Hello, today I tried the impossible. Try painting like the Impressionists, and even more so with acrylic on canvas. Although I've done well and liked other pictures, this turned out to be an absolute disaster. I can see that I still have a lot to learn. it is very difficult, although impressionism seems like a simple painting. Thanks for your lesson :-) Your picture of cliffs is wonderful 👍

    Your colors always seem to shine directly into the heart... 😊 Normally I'm not so interested in painting landscapes, flowers, nature... otherwise more in animals or portraits... BUT when I see your paintings, I get incredibly desire to paint a giant meadow full of wild flowers 😊😊😊 sunny greetings from Freiburg South Germany, Ingrid ❤🌼🌻🌺🌿🌹🙏

    Thanks so much for your generous instruction. I’m just starting pastels at 49 yrs old, having done quite a few yrs of watercolour. Money is tight, so after buying a few pastels and some paper I’m very appreciative of any teaching that’s offered publicly. So thank you…..from Perth, Western Australia.

    Wow! I clicked on this video thinking that this was done with acrylic paint! I am very shocked to see how you accomplished this beautiful painting! Well done! I actually have a few of the supplies to actually attempt to try this myself! I love LOVE the impressionism style of painting, and want to practice it. Is there a varnish or something that you can put over the painting when done to protect it? Also, have you attempted to do this type of painting with pastels on a canvas? Thank you so much!

    • @monetcafe
      @monetcafe  3 місяці тому

      Hi @kaylaherincharles, I never spray a fixative on a soft pastel painting since it always darkens the final image.
      To protect my final painting for shipping or storing, I place them in a clear plastic bag I get from www.clearbags.com/bags/flat/flap-tape/crystal-clear. I buy the bags a bit larger than standard sizes so I will have room for the painting and a piece of foamcore board cut to the size of the painting. Here is a video of my process:www.youtube.com/watch
      I have had some success in painting with Pastels on canvas by applying coats of clear gesso to the surface. Be sure to use clear gesso and not regular gesso because clear gesso has little bits of sand and works great as a do it yourself Pastels surface. I have to apply two or three coats of the clear gesso to counteract the texture of the canvas surface. The final painting does come out textural with quite a bit of pastel fall off, but this technique can work, even though it's not one of my favorites. Hope that helps!

    Hey Susan, love your video, as always. Just wondering . . . how would you add in an animal (say, a horse) in the foreground of this painting? How would you make the horse look impressionistic? I'm really struggling with a painting I'm doing now with very impressionistic red rock formations/mountains in the background and a horse (large in size, up front and center as it was in the photograph) . . . how does one make a large, up front and center horse in a painting look impressionistic? That is my dilemma. lol I'm thinking maybe I need to make him not as up front and center and ignore the details that are in the photo? That is what attracted me to the photo as I know the photographer and know the area he was hiking and a wild mustang appeared just as he was shooting. It was just a wow photo and I'm having trouble interpreting that into an impressionistic painting. Any suggestions? Thank you and God bless.

    • @monetcafe
      @monetcafe  Рік тому +1

      Hi Renee.... it can be tricky adding animals (or people) to paintings. The reason is you have to get the values, color and light source to match what is happening in the scene. My motto for impressionism is "less is always more". Resist the urge to give too much detail and avoid hard lines and edges. I agree with not making the animal centrally located. Hope that helps a bit.
