I really love your technique of leaving it unblended and unfinished. It’s a kind of life lesson too.

You’ve inspired me to join in the fun of Landscape Week! Love watching your beautiful demo create itself and looking forward to learning more about the magic of pastels! ❤

MERCIBEACOUP ALAIN, I SAW YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY ON ERIC RHODES LIVE...LOVE YOUR STYLE, I AM SIGNING UP TODAY FOR YOUR LANDSCAPE WEEK, THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT AND AFFORDABLE TREAT.  I'M A WATERCOLORIST BUT ALWAYS WANTED TO USE PASTELS (I HAVE IN A BOX UNUSED) KEEP UP THE GREAT SPIRIT, YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION🎉😊

Bam - there it was! the comment about subjectivity and giving us permission to make our own statement - goose bumps!. Can't wait for another landscape week! Already prepping my space. Not only does Alain deliver exciting, easy to understand techniques, he dives into science, knowledge & experience, provides signposts & shortcuts, keeping us out of trouble, on track, focused & engaged. For those of us with wounds attached to mark making, Alain has a unique kindness in his approach that offers our 'protectors' permission to feel safe & welcome to explore again..

Wonderful Alan. Thank you.

SO EXCITING, I learned so much about light, color, shapes, and simplicity. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and wisdom!

Thank you so much.
Expecting fun in the landscape week!

I love this photo, the warm and cool on each side is amazing. And then how the painting really brought it to life. Just superb! I'm all signed up for Landscape week! My second year, can't stay away! Thanks Alain!

I've had fun with this one!  Your comment about all the colors hidden in white  - great!

I can't wait for the online lesson! That was a beautiful painting of the waterfall and I hope to be able to do the same.

This is so amazing! I am always so impressed with your work.

This was very challenging! Love it!  I'm really looking forward to Landscape Week. Is there any way to share our waterfalls with you and the others who took part in this? Thanks!

Enjoying it for sure

I am already loving this
