So excited to watch this video tonight! I'm always needing a little help with backgrounds.

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Awww I’m so grateful you said that. I’m thrilled it’s helpful for you. I hope it blossoms paintings you’re happy with!

[@bonbeechler2323]

Excellent video, and an inspiration to practice painting more often with the multi media paper!

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Thank you Bonnie! ❤

[@TammyHarrisDesigns]

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you for explaining the different options for using fluorescent paint 🎨 sounds like I have a trip to the paint store in my near future 😂

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Oh I think you'll love it! The colors are captivating! Glad this one served you.

[@zoey8135]

is there a specific type of sealer that you put over your paintings when your done with them?

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Yes I do, I use the Liquetex High Gloss and Satin Varnish. I paint one coat of gloss, let that dry for 24-hours, then another coat of satin. Brings out the colors without a big glare.

I want to join your pet class. However, I’m in my 70’s, and you have such patience stroke by stroke. Is your class on Patreon? and if I sign up via my phone is that the only device that I can view lessons???

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

It's not on Patreon, it's located on my website (I've linked it here) The lessons can be accessed on your iPad or laptop or phone, all of the above. laurenelizabethanimalart.com/animalartmasterclass
