Helpful Tips
Hit the PAUSE BUTTON often!
Sharon doesn’t expect you to keep up with her pace. As a professional artist and teacher she is moving along at nice clip in order for you not to have to spend a lot of time listening to her. She rather wants you to spend your time completing your project. So, listen to a small part (maybe only a minute), push pause and then work that section. It is very important for you to slowly and carefully complete the project.These projects are not meant to be completed in one setting except for the Beginner Level. A student should never complete more than one lesson in a day.
Use the Lesson Highlights section below to check your work.
Look at the Lesson Highlight section after every video where you work on your project. These pictures show where you should be at the end of the corresponding video. Click on each photo to enlarge the picture as you check your work. If adjustments need to be made to your project, do it before proceeding to the next video.
Other Helpful Tips
You don’t need to have an easel for pastel. In fact, it is easier using pastel flat on a table.
When breaking the pastels into smaller pieces, be sure to remove the paper covering the pastel before breaking into pieces. This will help the pastel from crumbling and being unusable.
Never get any water near the pastels as this will ruin them.
There are so many names for each color. For instance a gold ochre could be called gold, light burnt orange, yellow ochre, brownish yellow, tan etc. Don’t let the names confuse you. Just find a color that is similar to what I am using on the screen and you will be fine.
