I attended a Pastel Workshop here in Australia last weekend where the instructor spoke about colour, but when I followed your presentation here It made so much rational sense about how it all works. I’m so grateful to always be tuned in to your valuable input. Thank you Gail. Also, I’m looking forward to your planned Workshop visit to Melbourne, Vic in the Future.
Big cheers for you and your clarity, Carmel S.
Awwwww that’s so confirming to hear Carmel! Thank you!!
And look forward to meeting you at my Melbourne Workshop 😁
I really found this helpful. Thanks so much, Gail! I enjoyed your pastel -smudged hands and face. It showed your deep interest in what you were showing and not on what you looked like. Great job!
Rebecca, That is so great to hear!! And I smiled when I read your reaction to pastel-smudged me 😁
Fantastic explanation and examples! Thank you
So great to hear!!
At last colour temperature makes sense! Thank you for such a clear demonstration.
Well hallelujah! That’s sooo great to hear Barbara Anne!!
Thank you so much Gail! What a treat, I stayed up till 4.30am taking part.
I’m looking forward to experimenting with colour vibrance/layering with pastels, and what better place to start than with a series (inspired by your recent blog post)
I found the examples interesting I definitely need to add this step to thumbnails.
I also found it encouraging- I hemmed and hawed over atmospheric perspective on my current painting I chose vibrant orange background because it made me happy. So I was delighted to hear your point about the psychological effect of colour temperature. We need to trust our instincts more as artists while leaning on the basis of these fundamental principles.
Thanks again for your generosity and for inspiring me to dive in with passion. You have a gift of divine energy. Keep igniting sparks!
Blessings Melanie
Ahhh Melanie, thank you so much for your detailed and enthusiastic response. It really does fill my heart!!
I can’t wait to hear how this understanding of colour temperature affects your work!!
Hello Gail! I recently discovered your site and signed up for the “Pastels 101” course and I’m so glad I am learning a lot of new things! Thank you for this additional opportunity of the Mini Masterclass!
Warm greetings from Sicily

Merci beaucoup !
je vous en prie!
Thank you!
You are soooo welcome Ruth!
Oh Gail, it’s starting to make sense! I have for so long wanted to creater vibrant colours that resonate and had no idea how. I have so much to learn but I’m getting there slowly. Thank you so much.
Best wishes

This whole art thing is an ongoing learning (and doing!) adventure!
