Artists near and far have been asking me whether it’s ok to blend, how to make bold marks with pastel and which direction to make them in.

Well, get your passport ready and buckle up, because in this video we’ll travel to Europe and visit the beautiful German countryside. It’s time to paint expressive landscapes in black using bold marks and vibrant colors. As we do, we’ll talk about when to blend and when not to, as well as how to make those bold fresh marks in pastel.

P.S.  Be forewarned, this video is bound to inspire you to get out into the European countryside and paint expressive landscapes. But don’t despair, because you can still join me for an amazing Next Painting Retreat to Southern France! There are only a few spots left, so be sure to click here for all the details and sign up for our next class!
