So happy you were able to download. Looking forward to painting with you.

I'm taking this workshop to help me move past just copying photos. I want to be able to paint more lively interesting works.

I have recently fallen in LOVE with soft pastels. What attracts me to pastels is their vivid colors. I especially like how some artists can use non-local colors in a way that makes sense, and is attractive. I have played with color several times, but I am not coming up with the sort of color-rich paintings Teresa creates. I want to know how to come up with color palettes that sing.

Hi all! Nancy here from Alaska. I paint mostly in oil where I’m striving for atmosphere but with pastels, I want my colors to jump and vibrate and be exciting.  Here’s a couple of recents done for an auction.

I've been painting off and on (mostly off) for years, but love pastels and especially want to learn more about painting light, and taking better photos.  I'm a very slow painter, so I might watch more than I paint, but I'll still learn a lot.
This is my newest painting - an attempt to paint much more loosely. Can't wait for the workshop!

Hello, I am Georgette from Tehachapi, California. I am taking this workshop because I love the medium of pastels. I do landscapes, and want to learn how to get better with shadows, layering, and using values. I really like sandstone and sky, but have a lot to learn!

Hello everyone ! Love all your works Teresa...
I paint abstracts in acrylics, when I tried pastels fell in love with vibrancy. Love to learn more  with value and overall pastels as I am still a beginner. Here are couple of my works in pastels

# data[].attributes.body
I’m recently retired and am working on sculpting reliefs, but do love color and want to play with pastels. I have minimal experience painting with pastels, but wanted to take this workshop because Teresa’s paintings are gorgeous.

I am a scientist and an artist.  I create in many different styles.  I want my work to look energetic and fresh.  I would love to punch up my hues and maintain values.

# data[].attributes.body
I am passionate about pastels, and have been working in pastel for 10 years.  I am primarily self taught am excited about learning how to put more vibrancy into my paintings.  So looking forward to your workshop.  Here are some recent studies.

Hello Everyone, I admire Teresa's use of expressive color. I have painted in pastel approximately eight years, mostly self taught. I look forward to utilizing expressive color that need not be a photo match.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello everyone, welcome to the workshop. I am looking forward to painting with all of you. Each day I will do a demonstration with a different mood and light quality. This is the photo reference that I have chosen for the first day. Yes, it is very green and I will focus on creating a warm, late summer afternoon mood, changing the color to create more interest, yet keeping values correct. Many people use different apps to help visual the color changes on photo references. Feel free to play with this image or find an inspirational photo of your own.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello everyone! I’ve been painting in pastels for almost a couple years. It hasn’t been easy, but some things have finally started to click recently. Looking forward to everything and anything I can learn!

# data[].attributes.body
I've worked in pastel for around 20 years and love it! The immediacy of colour and vibrancy are what draws me to them. My work is very tight and controlled and I've always enjoyed Teresa's more painterly style. It's just beautiful. I look forward to this class!

I need help with the shadow at the btoom of the painting. Also, this is not finshed - do I need more color?

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you LoriAnn. I am so happy you are enjoying the workshop.

# data[].attributes.headline
Hi everyone!  I'm very excited about your workshop, Teresa.  My pastels have been feeling dull and unexciting, and I'm hoping to introduce some pizzaz into them.  Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Wonderful day.  Thank you.
Do you have a favorite pastel brand or set that you prefer for high chroma pastels?
Will you be putting together a set of 60 or more Ludwig or Great American or Mount Vision  pastels of high chroma.  Something else that I would purchase along with a DVD

# data[].attributes.body
I just want to follow you around like a puppy.   Maybe osmosis would work.  Smiles & grins.
One more question please; I purchase Uart by the roll from Dick Blick.  Do you purchase products directly from the source or use Blick?  When I unroll Uart it is always curled.  What is the most efficient way of removing the paper curl?
Kind regards,
LoriAnn

Terrilynn,  hi there.  I joined your YouTube group, or followed you.  Smiles, I have not done much social media and do not know all the terms.  I like that you pick out your basic colors beforehand and then you can add a couple more if it is needed.  Do you always work as Teresa's assistant?  I think that would be fun.  I like technology.   Smiles.  Do you know when Teresa's next class will be and what group is hosting it.  Not that I can afford it, but I would love to take more of her workshops.  I wish she had dvd's.  See you in the morning.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m sorry to miss this weekend class with classy Teresa but will catch up via the YouTube postings and Padlet in the next week or so.  What a wonderful way to participate in one of her excellent workshops (but not as much fun as ‘in person’ at Dakota Pastels!).  I am posting three paintings (none actually finished) that I did with Teresa in her Oregon Zoom class about three weeks or so ago.  Looking forward to learning more on value correctness, how to add pungent color without it looking garish and watching Teresa take an all green photo and turn it into something sensational.

# data[].attributes.body
Posting my unfinished first pass. I seem to see my issues quicker as soon as I post something 😬

This is the landscape reference for the second day. I will be uploading a sky that I will use with this.

A sunset/sunrise photo I may use with the 2nd day landscape

I still don't know what it needs, but it seems to need something along the bottom to make that work, at the least.

I do not know how to do a value study of this picture as it is so washed out.

# data[].attributes.body
Not done, but on the way to be different from my usual.  I’m not good at making up colors, and had trouble deciding on the color for the path and for the water, since I was putting it at dusk.  I’ll be very grateful for corrections!  Thank you Teresa.

I darkened the sky to contrast with the sandstone. Can't seem to get the bottom right.

I was unable to paint due to bad head, yesterday. Here is a piece I did the week before the workshop. I love this photo, and have painted it it watercolor several times. This was my first try in pastel.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you very much for your help.  I think I can paint it now.  I really want to play up the color like you do.  I will work on value masses first, then hue.  Smiles
