And now I have palette envy!
I love your work!! I would like to see more of the actual painting from above. It would help me… I’m a show me kinda girl.. lol 😊
Thanks so much! I appreciate your feedback and totally get how a view from above will be helpful. I am working on finding a good setup for my cameras as we speak and hope to have things in place for my next video. Until then, happy painting!
Much better!
The camera is at a bad angle! It’s great seeing you & your terrific studio, but hard to see you working.
Thanks so much for the feedback, Kristine. I’ll definitely work on that for my next videos. 😊
Nice work! Great explanation on your technique.😊
Thanks so much! If you are a watercolour artist or are thinking of trying this wonderful medium, I hope I’ve provided some insight along with a little inspiration and encouragement. 😊
Thank you for showing and describing your viewers my brushes!
My pleasure! Your brushes have been an essential part of my studio for several years! I use them every day and they’re still as beautiful as they were brand new!
I have a portrait style I like…but have never found a “ no man made” ( buildings and the like) landscape approach that suits me ( 76 year old hobbier) … I like your approach..
Thanks so much! I usually paint from my memories and throw in a good dose of imagination. I find it also helps to approach each painting without a lot of expectation and a sense of curiosity as to how the pigment and water will play.
You never displayed the art such that one could see the final 😢
Thanks for watching and for taking time to leave a note - this was a quick demonstration of how I start one of these vignettes. I’ll be sure to follow up with an episode on how it all comes together for a finished piece. 😊
😘😘😘😘😘
What a lovely, soothing video! And a beautiful vignette 🙂
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊❤
I love this, thanks.
Thanks so much, Shirley! Glad you like it!
❤❤❤
It's so pretty
Thanks so much! I tend to gravitate to these colours when I paint landscapes and I love how they work together.
@@ArtistLyndaNorman really it's something great of you
It’s magical 😊
I totally agree - love the magic that happens when you add pigment to water! Thanks so much!
