- What Happens When You Spray Alcohol on a Pastel Painting? Watch the Dreamy and Magical Effects!
Welcome to my latest tutorial where I share an enchanting art technique that will transform your pastel paintings! In this video, I'll show you step-by-step how to create a glowing underpainting and then enhance it with a simple spritz of drugstore alcohol. By spraying alcohol onto the painting surface, we unlock a dreamy and magical effect that adds depth and luminosity to your artwork.
For this tutorial, I've chosen to paint a gorgeous field of lavender flowers stretching towards the golden glow of a glorious sunset. Watch as the I layer the pastels on the golden surface, creating a painting that is both vibrant and ethereal.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this technique will elevate your art to new heights. Join me on this creative journey and discover how to achieve these mesmerizing effects yourself!

Oh boy.... this technique is one of my favorites with soft pastel painting! Check out what happens when you spritz alcohol with Pastel Painting!!
Being an artist tied to this stinking wheelchair I appreciate your movement! I’m mystified and engaged in the painting! Thank you for sharing!
Stunning!!
So nice to have a Patron Membership for details of process and Supplies.Thank You Susan🙏🕊️🙏
Yippee! And I’m so happy you’re a patron of mine.
Sooo BEAUTIFUL!!!
Dear Susan, I haven't written you for a while. I was busy with art projects. My three works were selected and exhibited in New York.
I don't have such great supplies for my art. I use kids watercolours and limited numbers of broken pieces of soft pastel. I also use alcohol to fix underpainting.
I still have problems with my broken spine. One charity organisation gave me orthopedic matras and special pillows free and I became sleeping at night.
Last week I tried to go on plein air painting. It was great but my spine hurt a lot after that.
Now we have difficult time here. Problem with water and electricity supply.
But I hope for the best.
Thanks for your wonderful tutorials.
How exciting sweetheart, and the fact that you had limited and non-professional supplies says al lot about your skill! My heart breaks for you not only being under so many challenges because of being in a war-stricken country, but also for your back issues. That can be the worst pain and it seems to be something that doesn't give much relief. Is there any way I can see your paintings? Maybe you could email them to me.... my email is susanjjenkins@gmail.com
Just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Фантастический по красоте исполнения закат!!!..❤❤❤❤❤💐💐💐💐💐
Awwww.... thanks so much. I really love this technique.
I am mesmerized by the way you layer the pastels. It's difficult for me to envision how such an intricate maze of colors in the different layers ends up looking so beautiful. I am new to pastel. I have only painted 2 small studies, mostly with pastel pencils and I find I am too tight with my mark making. Your paintings are so impressionistic and beautiful 😍❤👌
Thank you so much… keep in mind…I’ve been doing this for about 17 years. I used to be really tight with my mark making too and I really had no idea how to layer colors. It can all be learned… It’s not rocket science and if you have a passion to paint… You can do it!
I agree with your sentiments! I watched from beginning to end, and I’m in awe!
Course I noticed she has a BT, so I knew this was going to be something to join, beings my sweet BT, Lily, makes us fur baby buds! 😂
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊 I really appreciate that Cheryl.
Your painting is so beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work. Thanks.
Thank you so much 😀
Gorgeous!
Thank you so much, Judith!
Just gorgeous! Your creations are so intuitive and vibrant. I am new to your channel and just love the way you describe what you are doing. I bought a few pastels but they are really not my thing, but will continue to practice. Regardless, so many of your techniques can be used with other mediums. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much, @martamccool2740! I'm so glad you liked it!
I absolutely love this painting!!
Loved it. Beautiful

Wow!! Amazingly beautiful! Peaceful! Wonderful! I love it:!😍😍
Thank you so much. I love this technique... it creates such loose and luminous results.
So stimulating , I'm excited to work under your instruction. For years I have been wanting to learn pastel. It's hard to find instruction. Yours is so explicit . Working on getting the supplies , it's coming together. Also useing water colors which I have plenty of is a big assist to me.
You can do it! I’m so excited for you.
Thank You ❤
You're welcome 😊
Another breathtaking painting thank you for brightening up my day ⭐️
I love watching you create!❤❤❤
Thank you Susan. God bless you too.
You're so welcome.... love your screen name. ;)
@@monetcafe Thank you! The adventures of Sir Prancelot was a fine British animation television series in the 1970's, supposedly for children but I'm sure enjoyed by many adults too. As I've not seen it repeated I guess that means it's the better part of 50 years since I last saw it. Time flies when you're having fun..........!
Gorgeous. I just ordered the derwent intense block small set. Can’t wait to try this!! Thank you Susan
YAY!! Thank you! @geri1864 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!

Gorgeous, painting, and so inspirational. Thank you for the scripture from the Bible. God bless you. The 👑 KING is coming.
Amen Susan!! I’m ready for that glorious day 🙌🏻😊❤️
Exquisite!
Это просто фантастикс🎉🎉🎉 Так прекрасно и живописно❤❤❤
gorgeous colors!!! a joy to watch
Love it!
Thanks so much! This technique is so fun.
Beautiful, magical as always. Do you mat your large paintings? What kind of glass do you use? Thank you.
I don't use mats when I have my paintings framed and I prefer Museum glass but it's pretty expensive.... an alternative is AR-70 Glass. Never use non-glare glass. Hope that helps!
I'm in love with this painting ❤ it caught my attention ❤
Thank you!!! I really like this one too! I think it’s the complementary colors 😊
This is beautiful! ❤️ I am going to try this on our Patreon page! Thank you Susan
Please do, Karen. I'm sure you know that you have the full tutorial over on the Patreon page. This version is reduced in content. Have fun!!!
Dank! Heel mooi!
Thanks, I don’t have a translator, but I think this is a good comment. Ha ha ha.
Any hints on frames for the large ones?
I’m not sure what you mean… I think any type of standard frame would work unless the painting is a non-standard size. This one actually is nonstandard so it would have to be custom framed.
❤💯👍👍👍👍👍
Love this painting. Curious. Is that photo of the painting on the easel at the beginning of the video AI generated?
I think you mean the thumbnail image that I use for this tutorial and I used it again at the beginning of the video. Yes, I used AI to generate a scene with an easel on an art table in some beautiful lighting and then I put it in Photoshop and added my painting onto the easel. I think it makes a nice presentation. I wish my studio looked like the one in the AI generated image. lol!
Can we use canvas instead of paper?
Pastels don't adhere to canvas, but I have had some success applying clear gesso to canvas (in two coats) and then applying pastel. It's pretty textured, but it works. Also, be sure to use clear gesso and not regular gesso. The clear gesso has more texture and helps the pastels to adhere.
What name brand of pastels would you recommend a beginner?
If you have the budget, I really recommend the Sennelier 120 half stick set, called the Paris collection. You have enough colors and values to work with to create many paintings and the quality of these pastels is excellent. You can find them on Amazon for around $160 I think.
