- Welcome to this exciting painting adventure where I will I will reveal the amazing results of combining watercolor and soft pastels! You will witness a sunlit meadow come to life and see how light is captured brilliantly by first beginning with a luminous watercolor underpainting.
You will also discover and learn to apply what l call the Three L's - Light, Luminosity, and a Loose style.
Here are a few of the things you will learn in this lesson about how to utilize the beautiful relationship between watercolor and soft pastel:
🌞 Luminous Transparency: Watercolor infuses your artwork with a radiant luminosity, adding light and looseness.
🌞 Soft and Gorgeous: Watch as the watercolor transforms your surface, creating a soft and beautiful base for your masterpiece.
🌞 Roadmap to Success: The underpainting serves as your guide, helping you establish values and colors for a smooth transition to pastels.
🌞 Romantic and Loose Beginning: Achieve the perfect blend of light, luminosity, and looseness for a truly magical start to your art journey.
So, join me in this artistic adventure as we explore the synergy of watercolor and soft pastels, laying the foundation for a truly enchanting painting!

Hi Friends! Let me know if this lesson was helpful in learning about the beautiful combination of watercolor and soft pastel. Also, I love when you give me suggestions for topics and subject matter for future lessons. Shout out and let me know! Happy Painting! ☺
I enjoyed the watercolor demo, the pastel demo, the soft music, the encouraging verse, and the sounds of the birds. What a lovely demo! Thank you. :)
@janedoe5229 awww.. thanks so much! I appreciate your encouraging and kind words!
I absolutely love watching you painting and reading scriptures! Your voice is very calming. And I can feel that you have peace of Christ in your heart. This peace is also reflected in your beautiful painting. Thank you for sharing it with us! God bless you!
What a beautiful comment to read. Yes, the peace of Christ is everything.... especially in this crazy world. Bless you and thanks for making my heart smile.
Love the results of this painting. It shows rich colors with a beautiful translucent glow. This is a good illustration on how to mix watercolors and pastels. Thank you.
Thank you so much, @theresaterry7405! Your comment blessed me.
Thanks, dear Susan, for wonderful time with you.
Gospel teaches us to love.
You teach us to share love.
Hallelujah sister! Wish I could give you a big hug! I pray the Lord‘s protection over you.
The scripture you read was exactly what i needed this very day!!! Your paintning is so beautiful!! Thankyou ❤️
Thank you so much, @sherizapara2992! I'm so glad you liked it! Happy Painting! God bless you, sweetheart!
Lovely combination of watercolor, pastel, music and scripture readings. Thank you!
Awesome @rosaliefunk1629, I appreciate that so much!
Beautiful painting and beautiful words .
Beautiful brilliant painting and I enjoyed the scriptures!
Glad you enjoyed it!! I think I’ll read scripture more often during the music portion.❤️🙌🏻
God bless you sister, thanks for this!❤🙏
Praise Jesus! Thanks @illustratorkarina923! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
Hallelujah Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift and His word. God bless you sister
Praise Jesus! Thanks @suzielapratte7498! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
I love that you read scripture during your videos. XOXOXOXOXO Sister ❤❤❤❤
Bless you!!! I just felt like God’s word would bless someone during the music portion. I’m so grateful for your comment and many others. I think I’ll continue this. Goodness knows, the world needs God’s truth.
I needed this today, thank you!
Thank you for sharing those beautiful verses while you painted 🥰
You are so, very welcome, my friend! The world definitely needs more, Jesus, right?!
We do!@@monetcafe
Susan, This is such a lovely painting with some of my favorite flowers--Corn Flowers (aka Bachelor Buttons) and Black Eyed Susans). The colors in Corn Flowers almost glow and you made that happen!
what a beautiful painting.
This video waa especially relaxing. I will add it to my bedtime playlist to watch again and again.
tfs.
I like the reading of the scriptures and watching the art great !
Thank you! How sweet.
Thank you so much Susan, I really appreciated you reading the Scripture today. Kind words for someone who needed to hear them, God Bless..
Thank you so much, @Jenny-yl2hw! Your comment blessed me.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful watercolor pastel painting! A special blessing today as you gave us God's word... at such a time as this. The verses touched me as if Jesus was saying them to me. To my special sister, much love always from a California Gramma ❤
Qor is so pretty! What a beautiful painting!
I HAD to click on this the minute I saw the thumbnail. Such vibrant colours! I feel at home with watercolours and the mix with pastel is very alluring. As for topics, I would like to see still life motifs with everyday items, so I can learn about shadows and light.
Thank you so much, sweetheart! God and art are my two biggest passions! Hearing this blessed me! Thank you!
I love everything about this video. The watercolor background was beautiful in itself! And the reading of scripture was so peaceful. Great video. ❤ I’m still learning how to not over blend and use more layers with my pastels. I think I’m going to try painting this one. It’s just beautiful.
Praise Jesus! Thanks @ilovetocrop! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
This was very special…
There are many things I love about this program that I could talk about, but there's not enough room to post it all. So, let me say how wonderful you made me feel, and I know others feel the same.💜

Thank you dear brother and friend. I’m so sorry that I’ve been so busy lately. I am finding it hard to respond to emails. Managing my email content is becoming a full-time job. I’ve got to try to find a way to streamline things. Have a blessed day and thank you so much for always being so positive.
@@monetcafe You just found a way. You're so busy that you forgot we talked about this already.
Thanks for putting up with me; as you know also, I can't stop something that I'm compelled to do, if you understand what I'm saying, and I know you do.
Just so you know... I can hear, in the sound of your voice, your feet are planting in the word of peace, as you take the sword of Christ in hand, without fear or shame. and there it should always be. ✌️
Wonderful lesson and the music and Scriptures were such a beautiful addition. Thank you!
Praise Jesus! Thanks @jeanmcdowall1! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
Thank you!I needed those verses!❤
You are so welcome!🙌🏻💜❤️
So beautiful. I had no idea pastels could work with watercolor. 😊
Thank you so much 😀 I’m so glad you learned something new!
I loved your painting AS ALWAYS. And I loved you reading some verses. Your voice is so soothing.
❤️❤️❤️☺️
Praise Jesus! Thanks @michellechristenbury2470! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
I love love love Qor watercolors! As you noticed, because of the formula, they spread amazingly in wet-on-wet applications. I'm impressed with how they spread on the Pastelmat. I will have to get some to try the underpainting technique!
Beautiful work. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge with us, and for inspiring us not only to be better artists but also better people. Wishing you continued blessings and prosperity.
What a sweet comment! Thank you so much!
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you so much, @lindamiracle5955! Your comment blessed me.
Everything is so beautiful. Painting, the way you explain and your voice! 😍
How sweet☺️❤️☺️
There's my morning inspiration! Thank you, Susan! :)
YAY!! Thank you! @melbendigo Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love insiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment!
Susan this just amazing. Very soothing. A 2-in-1 session painting and blessed words of hope and peace.
I follow your lessons all the way from Mombasa, Kenya.
You really rock!
How wonderful that you are from Kenya! I just love how art and God‘s word can travel across the miles! Thank you so much for your comment, and I think I’ll start adding scripture more often. Bless you!
Beautiful, loved watching you create this.
Stunning!
Awesome @Chrissiela, I appreciate that so much!
Beautiful. Watching and listening on Easter Sunday after a pretty rough few weeks. Thank you for giving me this moment of peace and hope 🙏
Thank you so much, @truthwillrise3712! Your comment blessed me.
Gorgeous, so much light and glow!
So beautiful 🙂
Thank you so much, @cherylbrewer1218! I'm so glad you liked it! Happy Painting!
All I can say is …wow!!!😊
Beautiful!!!
Thanks for this beautiful tutorial and the encouraging scripture. Much appreciated ❤❤
Praise Jesus! Thanks @cherylthomas2459! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
Thanks so much Susan this video is amazing. God blessed you
Glad it was helpful! ☺️❤️☺️
This lovely painting caught my attention, Susan, but it was listening to your voice and the scripture you read that has truly touched me. This was a horridly stressful day for me and somehow this video has helped put things back into perspective. God bless you.
YAY!! Thank you! @user-vj7jk1tq7m Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love insiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment! PTL!! Your comment blessed me!
You are a great artist.
Hi there Susan, I've actually been using watercolor with my pastels a lot lately. Found I like the final results better than just plain pastels. I started doing it as a lark to fill in a few spots and stretch the pastels on the paper. Love the results.
Wonderful! The two mediums really complement one another. Have fun!!
Sketching/drawing tutorial would be awesome! 😊
Beautiful painting. A couple weeks ago I started combing the two mediums and while I am an absolute beginner, I am liking some of the results. Thank you for this lesson.
Wonderful! Have fun, Jana!
Amen, sister, love your ministry and art❤
Praise Jesus! Thanks @nolastakem9131! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
Susan thank you for this so beautiful and comforting video, the light you have created in it is so luminesent and ethereal. Love this❤
Perfect scripture.❤ My family had a trial this week, and God used it to put something in place that I didn't expect to be resolved for at least 6 months. Not wise to give too much detail so publicly, but just wanted to share what I could. God loves His children and provides what we need just when it's the right time. (And the trial was completely resolved too!) He is good, merciful, and kind. And He can do whatever He wants whenever He wants.
Hallelujah Michelle. God’s timing is perfect, even when we don’t understand it. How wonderful it is to know that we can trust him in spite of the broken world. There is a beautiful hope for those who know God’s truth.
So inspiring and beautiful ❤
Thank you so much!
I felt so calm & relaxed after watching your painting & listening to your thoughts. Painting on a toned surface is a good idea, it can be quite daunting when faced with a white surface! I thought that the sand coloured pastel matt worked harmoniously with those Diane Townsend pastels, the colours are gorgeous as is the painting :) ❤
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @alanthornton3530 thanks so much!
You had no idea how I needed to hear those bible verse and your art...wow. I did not know that pastels and watercolor go together. My mom in the Lord was right, I don't "need" anything else. Use what I got! You got yourself a new subscriber.
I'm so glad! Your comment really blessed me, sweetheart!
Thank you ! I so love the tutorial. And the verses you quoted was perfect for me at this time. Again, thank you.
Wonderful, Karen! I plan to share more verses during the painting process. Thanks for that feedback.
God bless you Susan…Jesus is the way! GREAT VIDEO
Praise Jesus! Thanks @pamfrench9725! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
Grazie mille! È bellissimo! 🤩💕
Loved the scriptures!
Praise Jesus! Thanks @tinaclark7145! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior!
Beautiful
Beautiful thank you
hi Susan i enjoy your lessons and did n few experiments on different paper. we do not have great kind of pastel paper did do the gesso. i can only get fabriano and will get from Amison and will keep going with your you tubes..thank you❤
I am enjoying your wonderful talent along with your personality! I'm new to your channel been a artist for long time . Pastel for me is a new medium been wanting to reach out from water color pastel. So excited .going on a cruise, 80th! when I get I return I will be your patron!

❤beautiful 😊
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @slavicafidersek5272 thanks for watching! Happy painting!!
Your painting is lovely. I need to go find some basic lessons on using pastels. They sure are messy! Thank you for the soothing scripture.
Praise Jesus! Thanks @momomarie! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior! I have several beginner tutorials. Feel free to browse my channel further. I hope you find something helpful!
I know it's not really he season but I think you did a cactus video once and I really loved it and would like to see more.
What a great suggestion, Dina. I actually did a cactus painting many years ago and loved it. I guess I don’t paint them much because they’re not really native to where I live. But I’m going to go for it. Thanks so much for that suggestion.
What a lovely painting and inspiring video. How you paint without drawing. Really well want to see you technique of drawing. Thank you 😊👌🏻👍🙏🏻
Thank you so much for that! And I do think I will tackle a tutorial soon on drawing/painting in spatial relationships. Thanks so much for that input!
How lovely, a beautifully calm felt painting, thank you thank you❤
👍👍👏👏❤️😍
Very sharp color

Happy painting!
I think this painting is beautiful. It is fascinating to watch it come together. I am reminded again that some beautiful artwork uses layers. Even though it feels like I’m blocking out what I just did, there is enough that comes through giving it texture and depth. I am subscribed to Susan Jenkins. I just want to express that I watch despite the religious references, not because of them. I feel that she is sincere and well-meaning. And the selections she chose today were apt after the recent Maine tragedy. I particularly like the Corinthians piece. This is her channel and so I feel she has the right to express her religious views. I can always opt out of watching. And I might. I am not one that likes religion publicly expressed. I know many do and they are often loud in their praise of anything that seems to reflect their world view. I just wanted to quietly express my own view that I am here for painting, not religion. I think Susan and Monet should know that we are out here, too. I do very much appreciate Susan’s watercolors and painting lessons. Thank you.
Your comment was courteously and tactfully presented. I am grateful for that. I like what you said about it being my channel, but I still like to share my faith with kindness, and never a feeling of pushing some thing down anyone’s throat. I can’t keep quiet about my faith because I really believe it is, the truth, and that people will be lost without learning it. So it’s totally presented out of love and a passion to lead others to the hope in Christ.
I’m so excited to try this. I’ve been doing watercolor painting. I bought the expensive pastels (Sennelier) but have been scared to use them. Go figure. I’ll keep watching you to learn more.
Thank you so much.
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @pam5670 don't be scared! Just jump in and do it!! Happy painting!

Awesome @shellylemons5625, I appreciate that so much! I can't wait to see what you creat!
@@monetcafe I’m just Shelly. I hope to get back into it. I have not created much since I went through breast cancer. I’m itching to do so. I know I need the right medium to paint on.
This question may be peculiar but, as a beginner who owns only oil pastels, could I use them on watercolour as you use yours? Thank you. Like your little bouquet!
I don’t use oil pastels, but I’m thinking that if the water color dries you could apply oil pastels in a similar fashion.
@@monetcafe Thank you.
Susan looking to get into trying some pastels Please tell me the papers you recommend
Hi, @vincentlivingston4563. Here is a list in my Amazon Shop of some pastel painting products I recommend for beginner pastel artists. Happy Painting! www.amazon.com/shop/monetcafewithartistsusanjenkins/list/2NY2AMTL7D050?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_list_d
Hi Susan, I’m thoroughly enjoying your tutorials. I’m very new to this and I wonder, I have a nice set of oil pastels. Can I use these in combination with watercolors as in this example? Thank you!
Awesome @thelmakelly3628, I appreciate that so much! Unfortunately, I don't use oil pastels. I do think it would be ok if you are using the watercolors as an underpainting. We have some oil pastel artists in my patreon group, I'm sure could help you out! Happy painting!

I'd love to try this but I don't have an easel. I used to do pastel and found it came pretty easily. Now I'm trying watercolor (not so easy), but possibly less time consuming. The paper you are using is very intriguing. It's a little too costly for me. Do you have any recommendations for other paper that could work for both watercolor and pastel?
Hi, @Ucreate3. Here is a list in my Amazon Shop of some pastel painting products I recommend for beginner pastel artists. Happy Painting! www.amazon.com/shop/monetcafewithartistsusanjenkins/list/2NY2AMTL7D050?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_list_d
Hi Susan I have a question, a test on Ai can we ask an image for our painting, and sale it ? with ai and firrefly, thank you have a good night, just a sketch, and I would paint it or modify it. thanks
I'm not sure of all of the legalities with some of these AI programs, but I like to generate ideas for reference images and then if I paint them to make sure I give credit to the AI program used for the ref image. It's a good idea to alter the image when you paint it if you plan on selling it. Just use the ref image as inspiration in other words. I'm planning to get more info on this and share in a lesson.
I've never heard scripture said in such a calming and peaceful way before Susan. That was beautiful ❤😊Just lovely. I know that you followed me once, and I'm grateful for your wisdom. I've been on the fence about joining Patreon...Maybe I'll surprise you some day ❤😊Blessed Be. May God Bless You Susan ❤❤
Praise Jesus! Thanks @missdeesaccount! I can't help but shout praises to my Savior! I appreciate that so much! I hope to see you, soon! Bless you and than you for the support!
Susan this was a wonderful way to start my day. Thank you. Unfortunately theres those that just dont know and dont want to hear. All the more prayer goes towards those who dont know Jesus. I enjoyed listening to the reading of God's word. Along with watching this little morning wild flower piece come together.
Thank you. Its Beautiful.
May your cup runneth over with God's peace and blessings so you have no choice but to drink from the saucer.🎉

Pity about the religious push.
At least the video was free.... and so is the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day.
