Each of my pastel paintings is created on archival sanded pastel paper which is specifically made for grabbing onto those small particles of pigment that make a pastel so luminous! The pastels are pure pigments made into sticks using a little water and a binder, nothing more. Most of the brands that I use are hand rolled by artisan makers.
​
My working process is a simple one; I start on location, sketching, photographing and painting. Some of these field studies make their way to the studio. In the studio I use all of that visual information and combine it with the sense or feeling I had for a location and create what is inevitably an abstraction of sorts in that it is not merely a copy of a photo but an interpretation of place. I hope that you enjoy the work!

I love the days without overproduction that you have now. Those were simple days. More intimate and I learned a lot.

Watching in 2022. Love the little bowl. It's so cute.

[@shelleybrandon2825]

This was wonderful to watch (twice, now!) I'm not one that does many landscapes so I gleaned so much more from this simple and amazing exercise! Thank you!

Thanks Marla.

HI Marla, I'm not finding your live demo uploaded on Patreon? Will you be uploading it as well?

[@tonycole3532]

Really like the glass bowl but very small observation. The shape of the bowl just needs tidying up left side ragged and bottom right of bowl distorted and needs rounding up.

[@masimanoglou]

interesting your view I'm watching you a lot and I like how to portray the landscape but not the subject personal view I express good continuity

[@crystalquartz7883]

What type of pastels are you using

[@tallitot]

It would be helpful to have the bowl you're painting visible so we can see what you're looking at as you paint.

[@dinetk3125]

I was never answered when I contacted your gallery to buy a picture.

[@vickicarol1733]

I especially appreciated the end of the lesson on the highlight. It is sort of like using blusher isn't it? Too much and you ruin the effect!
