Great videos for us beginners. Not only is the verbal instruction clear and concise, the images you produce are compelling. That is to say, I could spend as much time looking at them as you spend drawing them, even if there were no instruction involved. Thank you!
Enjoyed the still life Marla. Fantastic passages of colours in the shadow areas, it was a great demo and a lovely painting. Thanks for loading it.
Glad I found the pitcher painting when I did, as a friend of mine was intent on getting into pastel and I didn't know where to direct them as our personal styles are quite dissimilar, and I hasten from saying do it this way, since its not how they process their pieces. Your method is more polished than mine could ever hope to be, and affords her some points for going her own direction rather than following a more painterly style like mine. I will drop a link for consideration of the techniques you employ, in hopes that it will benefit their work more fully. Was very impressed with your method and final results.
Marla thank you so much for this video!!
You make things look so easy!
I watched the whole thing 2x then again while I followed step by step it was so much fun!!
Thanks again

Lovely
Nice colors and abstract that I love.
I never dare to use a lot of colors to represente white color. This is however necessary. I will do it now. Very beautiful. Thank you very much for this tutorial !
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Marla! I’ve watched probably almost all your videos, am presently taking one of your online course, please please please could you do a couple more still life ones like this one!? You know us, we just can’t get enough.
Excellent thank you.! I'm trying out my new Sennelier pastels, this helped a lot.!
Love this video!
Great video, I'm inspired !
Thanks, inspirational.
Thank you.
I find many of the comments amusing.
Terrific to watch you develop this object. What 'blue spruce' brand pastel is that?
blue spruce is a nupastel
This is very lovely and loose. I understand the reason to eliminate the shadow on the right, it’s just a different gesture. But I do notice that the handle is too far forward. Based on the angle of the jug, the handle should actually be behind the left curve, not straight on. The top is at least an inch too forward. It’s something most painters miss.
What paper are you using?
I believe that was Pastelmat.
I love watching you paint, Marla. However, my eyes see the Right side Of the pitcher in deep shadow yet you painted it lighter than the center shadow. Do I need new glasses?
No, Elizabeth! You aren't seeing things wrong. I definitely lightened up the shadow side to create a more interesting piece!
So looks like this pitcher is floating with a shadow. My college art teacher would have said "where is the table, it's unbelievable, so you need to GROUND it on something." I'd say, "OH! You're right!" Then I'd add a line for a table. THEN your shadow is believable.
Do you worry about blending with your fingers so much?
I don't rub too much. I'm just patting!
I know that when converting a circle into a solid sphere, the progression of the light
( assuming there is a single light source )
usually goes:
light, halftone, core shadow (the darkest part of the shadowed side) ....
then there is an area where light that is bouncing up from the surface that the sphere is sitting on, illuminates the shadow side a bit....the reflected light.
But, as you were placing the values, I was looking at the photo reference and I didn’t see what you were seeing.
There is no core shadow on the pitcher where you placed it.
There is no reflected light that illuminates the entire far right of the form.
That far side is quite dark in the photo but not at all dark in the painting.
For someone who is trying to understand how to create form, and follow what you are doing, this is confusing.
Were you painting from the photo reference or from direct observation?
Hi Renzo, thanks for taking the time to comment in detail. It's really helpful to me as I'm always trying to improve what I'm doing and make clear this very nonverbal and complicated thing we are attempting! When I looked at the reference photo, I do see what you mean...the core is not obvious. When I'm painting, I'm using direct observation AND what I know AND what will strengthen my painting. It all swims together for me. That being said, for someone that is trying to learn needs to clearly see what I'm doing and why. So, your comment helps me to be better about that. In this case I definitely exaggerated what was not obvious to create more form. Best, Marla
Painting Lessons with Marla ....you are quite right!
A demonstration video is very difficult to do properly.
So many instructional videos fall far short of the mark.
You have been able to avoid almost every problem.
You don’t have any annoying music playing in the background.
You thoughtfully provide an inset of your reference.
But it is the very rare video that shows the reference photo from the viewpoint of the artist.
Talking about the process of creating an artwork is very difficult!
It’s especially difficult to explain what you are doing as you are doing it.
If I were to make a tutorial video, I think that I would first film the action.
Then, as I watched it play back, I’d write out the explanatory text in the clearest way I could, perhaps even stopping the video to give enough time to articulate everything well.
Of course, it’s easy to offer suggestions.
I don’t have to do it!
Still, your videos are very well done and are a valuable resource for folks looking for instruction!
@@PaintingLessonsWithMarla All good points. When you added that dark color down the center of the pitcher it dented the pitcher. The darker should be on the far right side and more of it to 'turn the shape' so you turned way too soon. lol
nice but you always seem to get your shadows wrong
Why do you paint multiple colors colors in your under painting when you’re objective is to paint a white vase?
