- I love sharing creative painting techniques, and I think you will enjoy witnessing the magic of combining magic markers with soft pastel!
In this tutorial, I will begin a pastel painting with an initial layer of magic marker sketching. This technique, though simple, harbors a treasure trove of benefits that I'm thrilled to share with you. Embracing a marker for our preliminary sketches not only anchors our composition with decisive lines but also ensures that these foundational gestures remain unblemished, regardless of the water-based mediums or vigorous blending we introduce later. This method allows the true vibrancy of pastels to shine through without the fear of smudging or bleeding.
Our journey doesn't end with the sketch. I will share my process (in a speed version) of transforming these initial marks into a stunning depiction of golden tulips, cradled within a fantastic vase. I pray this painting is a rich source of inspiration, challenging you to explore the interplay of light, shadow, and the lush spectrum of pastel hues.

Oh my goodness! This is wonderful! Going to share with my 93 year old mama who loves pastels!
Please do! I love that your mama is still painting 🙌🏻☺️❤️👏
So beautifully done and I love the tips about the marker and the Magic Eraser!
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @cinnie2543 so happy you enjoyed this. Thank you for your sweet comment.
I’d Very much like to send you my love and thanks for your tutorial’s, often drawing reference to Faith and acknowledging Gods creation…. It gives me such an uplift to hear someone Outside Church to openly talk in this way and I commend you…. In the UK it’s virtually forbidden, but it never stops me 😌🙏☺️
Love your channel. I’m an artist of 25 years and you renewed my love of pastels . You are a pleasure to watch and listen to. God Bless
Thank you so much, @cathypainter7429! Your comment blessed me.
How very skillfully done with so much knowledge of materials. Very bright, pretty colors.

You are so very welcome!
I've been under your tutelage for a while now. A million thanks for the tips and tricks to diy items! Your art is such a wonderful part of my day!
Thank you so much! Your sweet comment really blessed me!
Thanks for your new video clips. I am a very beginner for oil painting. Today I learned new some skills form your video. ❤
Gorgeous

Gorgeous thank you
Thank you so much, @marceybadillo1618! I'm so glad you liked it! Happy Painting!
Oh boy have I had trouble with vases, and I saw a great tip from The Frugal Crafter/Lindsay Weirich the other day. She used tracing paper to get her vessel symmetrical. The video is called "Tips for Drawing Symmetrical Things & More." She used graphite paper to transfer her image but for us it'd work better to just run pastel over the back. I'm going to try that!!!
Awesome @jennw6809, I appreciate that so much!
Like the magic sponge video, seen it great idea
Amazing 😊
Thanks 😄
Great idea. My mind was blown the other day watching an older video of Les Darlow using alcohol markers, and markers he'd filled with inks, on top of PanPastels! (He was using Pastelmat). Proves we just have to experiment to find all kinds of techniques!
Wow! That sounds so interesting. And you are so right…. Playing and experimenting is so fun!
Very beautiful! Bless you Susan!❤🙏
Thank you Susan. Just lovely!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that sweet Rosalie!

Love it ! ❤
Thanks so much. I really like using markers like this.
Ok Susan, I have a question! I cut off a bit of a pool noodle for blending since that's what I had around. It works great for blending on my homemade clear gesso surface, but I do notice it shreds and sheds bits. Makes a mess! My question is: does the pipe foam insulation do this too, or is it tougher?
I’ve heard the pool noodles work great for this, but I’ve actually never tried one myself. I’m thinking that the pipe foam insulation will hold up a bit better though. I think it’s more densely packed than a pool noodle. I haven’t used it though, for smoothing the clear gesso, so thank you for that Jenn!
@@monetcafe Ok, I think I ought to finally stop by the hardware store to get some proper pipe foam insulation then! Will report back. On the upside, the pool noodle was quite easy to cut with a bread knife! Packing peanuts do seem to work great too, but they are hardly used anymore! I tried using some of the biodegradable ones, they do work -- but can't be washed because they dissolve :)
@@monetcafe I promised to report back on whether the pipe foam doesn't shred blending on homemade surfaces made with clear gesso! And you are right, it IS denser/sturdier, and does not seem to shred.
The pool noodle *did* work great in terms of blending -- but did shred and make a mess/contaminate your dust (if you like to save your dust and make new pastels). It also broke down quickly/did not wash up well. And it was a great way to try the blend with something I had on hand, but the pipe foam was definitely worth the trip to the hardware store :) Less than $3 and probably a lifetime supply!
Is there a demo of the other painting you showed in this video?
