Wow! I was thrilled with so many things about this technique. Especially how little pastel you need after you liquify the underpainting with alcohol. Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think!
Thoroughly enjoyed so much structured how-to in a relatively short video. Never felt rushed and you kept the idea of creative interpretations/license alive as your painting was not a slave to the reference--in fact is more "alive" than the photo with subtle energy & color additions which seem to add a real sense light possible in the actual (though manipulated) landscape.
Well….it started off really well. The soft pastels went down like a dream. Some time after using the alcohol things went wrong. I staggered across my studio, tripped on the easel and landed on my soft pastels. I think I’ll use water next time. On a serious note; love love love this technique! Absolutely amazed by my results. Thank you so much Susan. You have a new fan.
YAY!! Thank you! @cynthiacooke9785 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love inspiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment! Bless you!!!!
I absolutely love your work. I enjoy your humour & generosity & your beautiful choice of words - you also paint with your words - when you describe things & express your views & opinions. I love the way that you engage people & are mindful of your audience. Thank you. May you go from strength to strength. ❤
I have never worked with pastels before but was gifted a whole bunch by someone who gave up! Your beautiful painting has inspired me to try your technique. Thank you
I was an elementary art teacher for almost 31 years, and using oil pastels were among my kids favorite things to do. I knew enough to help them, but I always did oil paintings. Awhile back, I had an accident, and have been unable to stand at my easel and paint my larger canvases, so I decided to try oil pastels. Well, it’s not as easy as you make it look, and I soon realized I was clueless about how to proceed, so I was happy to accidentally find you on uTube. I knew they washed off my hands, so I knew they were water soluble, so I naively started on my journey. I was scribbling something on a piece of paper, and started with a very abstract image, which ‘wept” so much that I had to tape my mouth shut! I have started a still life, , but……. It is not nearly as easy as oil painting. but I will get up in the morning and see if I have any alcohol. I didn’t mean to write a letter, but I wanted you to know how great full I feel to have found you. Maryann,

A creation is a success when one wants to step into the scene and explore. This is definitely a success. You've lightened my mood and inspired me to keep going! Thanks 😊
This is beautiful. I am a new watercolor artist. I haven’t tried any other medium, but after watching this tutorial I’m inspired to give pastels a try.
Fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing this technique. Im glad you mentioned the dust, thats so tough for my alllergies and yet the colors and beauty of pastels is so wonderful! I cant wait to try the alcohol technique. And yes, prayer always helps. :). Blessings to you!
Wow !!! I wish I had seen your videos back in the 80's & 90's when I used soft pastels a lot to do portraits etc !!! I am glad that I found you. I live in Canada, on the Atlantic coast on an Island. Prince Edward Island !!! I will be watching more of your videos for sure !!! I loved this outcome using the underpainting !!! Thank you for doing this channel !!!

YAY!! Thank you! @susangast6869 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love inspiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment!
Love you work! I used this technique way back in the 90's in my Commercial Art classes. We were doing marker drawings and we used the alcohol markers and prismacolor pencils. The prismacolor pencil would just melt. It was great. If you needed a very saturated color you could add the pastel and then use a cotton ball tip and carefully rub the alcohol in it. This was done on tracing paper or vellum. Turns out really nice!
Thank you so much. I love pastel work because the details can be brought forward so well. It ws very interesting to watch especially the alchohol underpainting as i have never done that nefore. I shall defibately try it. So pleased to have been able to learn this technique.
Hi, @TmarkN.OH NO!!! A lot of my teaching can be used with oil pastels, but not the alcohol. When you get ready to place another order, here is a list in my Amazon Shop of some pastel painting products I recommend for beginner pastel artists. Thank you so much for watching! Happy Painting! www.amazon.com/shop/monetcafewithartistsusanjenkins/list/2NY2AMTL7D050?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_list_d
Thank you very much. I have struggled with the pastel medium. I have never taken a class or watched a tutorial before. I learned so much from you already. I am now excited at the idea of attempting a pastel with your teaching
This is an amazing technique. It was almost as though the under painting was a picture in itself. I have not used pastels and think I need to start with something more basic than this technique, but I intend to keep it in mind for when I am a little more experienced. The idea of liquefying the soft pastels has definitely given me some ideas for experimentation. Thank you so much for showing us this wonderful technique!
Lovely vibrant colours, I haven't tried using alcohol yet, but after I watched Liz Heywood Sullivans video last night and yours today I have got the bug, so I will be trying it.
I really appreciated the discussion of techniques about under painting. I have been doing them for years, but had to figure out some of the things you discussed here. Recently, I used harder pastels for an under painting and experienced issues with blending when I used the alcohol. Now, from your video, I know why. Thank you.
I've always started the underpainting with hard pastels, so can't wait to try your suggestion to use soft pastels instead. Beautiful painting -results are stunning!
Amazing. Can’t wait to start my painting adventure thanks to this video! My 54 birthday is on Monday and soft pastel colors and a canvas will be my present to myself 🥰
Oh this new underpainting technique is so smart and I love that it is in the natural colors. However I do still love to see the complimentary colors shine through in your other pieces.
YAY!! Thank you! @charvey87544 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love inspiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment!
Very, very interesting! I have been taught to use hard pastels first, but I have sooo many more soft pastels! Glad to be able to use them in my underpaintings!
YAY!! Thank you! @nanwright2366 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love inspiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment!
Great demonstration. I’ve used alcohol before but not much. When I paint a pastel plein air at the Plein Air Easton Quick Draw I think I’ll surprise the crowds with a more liberal use of the alcohol in a spray bottle. They’ll love it.
I ran across this tutorial, sort of by accident. I haven’t watched many tutorials but the way she explains and teaches everything is a mark of an experienced communicator. I felt like this is something I could do easily, even though I’ve never worked with pastels before. I enjoyed this very much thank you.
In the opening shots, I was thinking "wow, what set is that, it has so many greens!" Excited to see it in action, it looks great for landscapes. BTW I got a Schminke "Dakota Violet" (which is exclusive to Dakota and is similar to Terry Ludwig Eggplant). I wondered how useful it'd be, being so soft, but I found it to be great for finishing dark marks near the base of trees. As a beginner it's easy to lose my darks! I hadn't thought of using it as a wet underpainting, but will have to try that now. I do have a couple Terry Ludwig Eggplant sticks on the way, along with 28 other colors! Finally took the plunge and bought some open stock with the recent sale. May Terry rest in peace, and may his family find comfort.
So glad you took advantage of the TL sale!!! And that's some good info about the Dakota Violet being similar to the Eggplant color. I've got to get some! Hope you enjoy trying the wet underpainting technique!
@@monetcafe I think the reasoning behind it is great, especially for us beginners who can easily overlayer! I saw the same philosophy being expressed by Les Darlow; I watched his demo for PanPastels recently and that was one of his reasons for loving that product (you apply so little product, it leaves most of the tooth left). I found the Liz-Haywood Sullivan video you watched (I think) and I look forward to seeing that too.
It is so funny I was just talking about how I don’t like soft pastels today, then this video came up. What a beautiful picture! I guess I will need to play around with soft pastels more. 🧡
YAY!! Thank you! @Grlinadk Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love inspiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment!
Wow! I was thrilled with so many things about this technique. Especially how little pastel you need after you liquify the underpainting with alcohol. Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think!
Once I finish outdoor planting today; going to head into the studio to try this! Love the technique and your finished painting:)
Yay!@@bmac5242 Hope you love it as much as I did!
Nice to see the reference image as the painting unfolded. Thank you.

🌬🎨I love it.
Beautiful work 👍
Can confirm, alcohol really helps with my creative process. Specially when served cold.
Ha ha.... I get that. And just as a side note.... any clear alcohol will work with this painting process too. Vodka will do the trick!
@@monetcafe Jokes aside, I loved what it did to your underpainting, didn't expect such a good result. Good work (as always)
Blesss you! @@jurel-enlatado1
excellent comment!!! LOL
I know, right?!!!! @@garthok6224 😂🤣

You can blend oil pastels with OMS (Odorless Mineral Spirits). Gambin Gamsol or something similar. It's inexpensive.
I absolutely love this! I didn’t know you could use pastel oils like this! ❤❤
Thank you. I learned a lot. The technique was not new to me. However the way you applied it was. Again, thank you.
Thank you very much. I have struggled with the pastel medium. I have never taken a class or watched a tutorial before.
I learned so much from you already.
