Manna, I’m glad you discovered HowToPastel and Karen’s guest post!
I’m interested in the art school near Budapest. I lived in the city for three weeks and actually wrote a blog about Mihály Munkácsy on my Gail Sibley blog. And this one about a pastel I did there. I love teaching internationally so do let me know if there’s any interest in my making a visit!

I just came across your website when searching for good examples of pastel technique. MY! What fantastic work from Karen ( I love the whole site actually !!!) , and I would like to thank her for sharing, so now I can share her creative process with my pupils in Hungary.

Hi Chris, I remember you from Gibson’s! We had such fun didn’t we?
Thanks for the great review of Larry’s book! Look forward to hearing about your work inspired by it.

Anyone who is “stuck” and can’t decide on what to paint or needs new ideas should read “Fishing for Elephants”. Has given me enough ideas and exercises to fill my winter painting time.

Met you at Gibson’s a few years ago..

Thank you so much, Karen for sharing the article and your paintings . This is so inspiring.

And reading your comment Genie made my heart sing!
You won’t regret making time (but you already know that!). I know how hard it can be to find time in a day just for you, for creating. Even if it’s only one morning/afternoon a week, make that happen and it will give you so much over the whole rest of your week.
