Donna G. has seen great improvement in her art after going through Karen’s previous course:
“She goes through the process thoroughly, teaching how to carefully consider the painting process along with allowing for one’s own creativity. Karen is instrumental in my growth, understanding, and development in my artist journey.”
Judith R. says, “[Karen has] many helpful strategies and advice. Great teaching style. Lots of ideas and techniques I plan to incorporate.”
Let’s Address the 3 Most Common Mistakes Artists Make With Pastels:
- Relying too heavily on the reference photo without making important decisions that would lead to a stronger painting…
- Jumping too quickly into the painting because you don’t want to “lose the spontaneity”...
- Decorating the painting too soon without building a solid foundation first
Those mistakes happen so often, Karen just had to come up with a reliable system for her students to follow!

Though you can observe the techniques of any artist instantly by watching them demonstrate and by watching the videos repeatedly, please know that, though many artists offer insights that can help people overcome a lot of learning time, every artist learns at their own speed based on their own level of understanding. Painting and drawing bring great joy, though the joy may come from practicing various techniques over and over until you master them. We do not wish to indicate that you, or anyone, can skip the joy of practice and the challenges of getting better. Painting is a lifetime endeavor, and getting good does not typically happen rapidly, or instantly. Your results may vary. And please know that if at any time within 30 days you feel this video has not lived up to your expectations or its promise, we will happily refund your money.
