I have learned that all I need to do is SUGGEST a few pieces of grass and the viewer will fill in the rest. It has made a big difference and now I embrace the grass!

| Pastels I used for the demo and video |
I finally had a break in my schedule and decided to make a new Youtube video.In the video I share some tips for painting better grass....believable and authentic looking grass. The video is 16 minutes long during which I share a demo of the different ways I paint grass. And I end with a demo of a 7 minute study of 'Lyrical Marsh' , the 5x7 pastel shown at the top of the post.
Please have a look at the video when you get a chance. I would love for you to give it a thumbs up and share it if you found it helpful! Here is the link:

Thanks for the very nice video and your teaching :-)
So beautiful! Looking forward to the video!
Thank you Karen for a great lesson! I was just planning on doing a marsh scene today so perfect timing! Love the confident presentation, application and colour/value choices too. Any advice for how you would handle things if your marsh grasses were growing in winter? The 'dirt' would be hidden by the snow. Would love to see you that too some day! In any event this will be REALLY helpful! We all appreciate your help so very much.
Oh yes... I need to add that your supporting cast is beyond adorable... Jennifurr and Kitty Kitty. (Kitty realized that she was NOT the centre of attention towards the end of your demo! Poor thing! :)) Your videographer did a superb job also.
Thank you Karen for this wonderfull lesson on You Tube, so fantastic how you share so much in detail. It's a real help. One tip. Hold the camera stil, keep a good distance (most of the time was good, the closeups are not really giving something extra)
Thank you all for watching the video and for commenting. I appreciate it!
Albertina, thank you for your advice. I am not a professional videographer so I apologize for any imperfections with the video. Your advice is noted. I will say I had many requests for more close-ups so I was trying to accommodate those requests.
