Pastel Painting - October Morning 

Your work fascinates me Marla. I love listening to you vocalise your thought processes. I also find it REALL beneficial to see your photo source material on the screen for the duration. Colour is where I struggle and watching your translations are so good for me. Thank you so much.

This is my fav video. Love the morning light 💕

I absolutely love your style. What talent you have. I’m always amazed by your paintings and love watching you develop them.

Love your work, it always inspires me. Thank you sharing your talent with the rest of us.

I love this Marla, so beautiful and you make it look so easy! Thanks so much for sharing.

Dearest Marla: All of your work is just so lovely. I just watch and learn your brain ... see with your eye ... and feel and experience my own neuro-plasticity dancing in tune with yours. Thank you so much for sharing so graciously. Thank you for the beautiful music that I don't have to mute. And a huge THANK YOU for having the picture there for us to see, too! I want to paint my translation of the picture, not my translation of another's translation. Most channels I have been watching do not show the picture. I binged on you the past 24 hours or so, prepared a couple of dozen papers today ("tomato soup" - very helpful :), and am ready to go. Create! In Reverent Respect and Absolute Love, Elaisa Nomi-yah Grace

Luved it Marla, the morning light filled in the distant mountains and water are palpable in your painting. Thanks for uploading, Soft pastel captures the quality of the light itself in a way that not even Oil paint can equal. Luv watching way you process the visual information in the piece from your reference source

Marla,thanks for sharing GODS gift to you with all of us and thanks for your much needed help with trees and foliage GOD BLESS YOU Brendan

Thanks for this helpful video! A lots of tips for your technique. 🙏👩🏻‍🎨

Truly Amazing!!!!

J'aime votre façon de peindre au pastel. J'avais tendance à m'occuper des détails dès le départ. Un vrai plaisir de vous voir à l'oeuvre et quel talent ! Amitiés et encore merci pour vos tutoriels.

Your work is amazing!

Thanks for the tutorial. Lindo, lindo, lindo.

Thank you for sharing so much. Your work is so beautiful, and I love the way you use color.

Good work girl!

Thank for this gréât video

Love your work and process. I'm learning so much from your videos, please keep them coming! Just two little things, I was wondering if you could turn your own music down just a bit as it comes through on the video and is competing with the piano music, not a big deal at all, just an FYI. The second thing is, I was wondering if you could put a mat around your piece at the end, to show the piece without the color testing? Thanks so much and again love your work Marla!

Hi! Is it the same pic, which you use to paint a demo "Fourth Day of Christmas-Pastel Painting Demo"? but another palette?

When you add the water it starts to come to life. Why do you save the sky for last?

Thanks for the tutorial! Are you using pastelmat for the surface?

What kind if paper do you use?

Your work is amazing!
