#thefrugalcrafter #watercolor #art - Jak na to + styl
Hi Lindsay, I wanted you to know that I love your long-form, real-time CZcams tutorials. I do them with my kids!
That is awesome!
Use a sunblock stick to apply to the back of your hands so your palms don't get goopy. Easy to touch up and carry.
I’d love to see a video of how to make a sketchbook with 2 full sheets. I use to buy them that way and tear them in quarters. But now I’ve been painting in sketchbooks mostly and have a lot of those sheets just sitting there. Also, your iris with Michael’s class yesterday was really good and I pretty much followed along in real time. It looks great and I always think that is the toughest flower to do. I’m going to do it again in a different color just to remember all the ways you added dimension to it. Great Saturday chat today! Thanks so much Lindsay!
The tomato in crystal bowl is lovely! You are totally right, use the good stuff daily. A couple of years ago I got rid of my regular drinking glasses & replaced them with the crystal ones. I decided to enjoy them myself and if they get broken, so be it. Better than having them sit unused in a china hutch.
I do this now, too, with my fancy china teacups/saucers/plates. I realized the Queen is not coming for tea, I AM the Queen, and if I break something, well at least I enjoyed them, it had a good, useful life, and it died happy, lol
Love the long version tutorials , can’t wait to try the glass bowl , thank you for posting it 😊
Happy Sat Chat Day! Thanks for the smiles! Have a wonderful weekend ❤
Same to you

Hi! Fellow vegan here! I have heard about mung beans but I haven’t been inspired to try them until now. Always look forward to Sat Chat! I have my tea and listen 😊
I’m vegetarian, sometimes vegan, I just bought a tofu press & tofu
Your hair looks fab. Love how your outfit coordinates with the Critique Club project 🙂. Enjoyed as always.
Thank you! 😊
I 100% agree with you with "Use the Good Stuff". I use my crystal bowls for my water when I paint. They are so pretty to look at!
Love your comment about enjoying your China cabinet items....so true! Your painting glass is exceptional !
I would love a video on how to make a sketchbook. That would be amazing. Great Sat Chat as always.
Noted!
Mung beans are awesome, Lindsay! One great and super easy recipe is Beans and Barley...for breakfast. 1/4 cup each whole mung beans and barley, 2 cups of water and some salt. Cook overnight in a small crockpot. In the morning, you can either sweeten it (if you like a sweeter breakfast) or salt it to taste. I used to eat it all the time. Love it. Also, split hulled mung beans are great for kichari and the other types of dishes you described and they don't need to be soaked overnight. Although, it will still take about an hour or so to cook.
I have been learning to cook vegan food for my daughter who transitioned from veggie to fully vegan about a year ago and I have to say it has been good for me to stretch my cooking muscle and the bonus is I have found lots of delicious dishes that we all enjoy
Thanks for sharing!!
I think the long tutorial watches will grow. The nice thing is one can watch and paint at another time.
LINDSAY! LOVE Your hair! It's been a long time since I've watched any of your videos - apologies - always love our cheerfulness and your creativity. Thank you.
Welcome back!
My Mom's dessert, she used oatmeal, peanut butter, baking chocolate, sugar. I think that was all, she dropped by spoonfuls onto wax paper and put in the fridge to chill down. She made hers in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop till ingredients were all blended together. My husband just mixes all ingredients in a large mixing bowl since the quick oats are cooked already, when everything is mixed together well, he puts into a rectangular bowl we have, spreads mixture out leveled, cools in fridge, then cuts into bars. Just sharing. I'm telling from memory so hopefully I didn't forget anything, LoL 😁. God bless you. Becky B
Yum!
Lindsay, Thank you for your Prime Day list. That was great! I didn't need anything but loved looking. I am a Prime member. I still try to watch what I need to buy. You are the picture and essence of Summer today. Have a great weekend.
You are so welcome!
Really beautiful plants and hanging baskets each spring is BJ’s and Costco. Half the price of nursery and so healthy
I never thought to check there!
I can't get over your tomato painting, it's absolutely gorgeous!!
You were much better than me for Prime days. I wasn't going to buy anything, but when I saw those Shin Han sets I couldn't resist and got the cheaper of the two 24 sets. I'm very excited!!
Thank you so much!
I love the crystal bowl painting! Just beautiful! You really captured the sunlight through the glass. I do plan to watch the watercolor tutorial of the rose you posted but am hoping to find time to do it real time with you soon. I've even watched some of your videos from years ago and will eventually watch some more. So many projects, so little time in a day! Hope you enjoy your weekend.
Thank you! Cheers!
Well you gave away 2 million dollar ideas today lol! I finally made it to one of your Michael’s classes yesterday. I was a little behind so I have to finish today and then will do it again. Loved the class. I love that line and wash set and mainly got it because I wanted to do your seascape because it was so pretty and somehow different than just watercolor. What fun! Have a great weekend! (and I love the longer tutorials. What is wrong with everyone??)
Oh the gel pen thing will be fun! I discovered they were watersoluble by testing a buch of pens, and found they are great fun. I for some reason decided to play with oil pastels, and have been having a blast. I think I’m regressing to just wanting to color with a crayon. Before Prime day, I bought a Harbor Arts 24 set of OPs for $5.99- neverheard of them, but … 6 bucks. They are lovely for student grade, very smooth and opaque. Then I had seen a rec for Artecho OPs, and they had a 72 set for $17.59, and couldn’t resist. They are exactly the same as the Harbor Arts, same wrapper, same color numbers, same names, same creamy opaque colors. Someone else mentioned they were the same as Mont Marte. I’ve just about finished a critique club project, just waiting for my Talens oil pastel varnish to arrive. Cant wait to try that, it apparently seals the surface so it is no longer sticky.
Good morning. Next time you use your steam rollers use a hair net instead of the bag, that will let the moisture out while holding them
Thanks for the tip!
LOL! Your dress matches the tomato in the cutglass bowl painting, Lindsay!
Great fun sat chat! Still traveling so lucky I could see this. Happy summer… enjoy!
I love your long tutorials. I learn so much from them.
I'm so glad!
Hi Lindsay, I just wanted to say thank you. I knownthe longer videos don't do well for you but I appreciate them!
You are so welcome!
LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!! ☺️
thanks for sharing your blended mung bean recipe-- as a vegetarian who only occasionally eats eggs, this is useful! and it reminds me of my mom's mung-bean flour savory "pancakes" ( in Gujarati they are called Puda)
they can also be made with chickpea flour!
I'm with you about exercise. Pickleball, bowling, walking with friends, bocce, cornhole.... once in a blue moon kayaking....I'm up for it! But suggest i do 20 minutes of stretches and/or weights, and i can not make myself do it! I'm waiting for a hip replacement that can not come soon enough. I know i need to keep the rest of me in shape, but boy, is it hard to do that self talk. On the flip side, I'm pretty bored so i did bring out some art supplies and made a birthday card for a friend. And was planning to do a bit of experimenting this afternoon. Thanks for the inspiration. Those tomatoes are gorgeous.
I watch them all, but I like the long tutorials the best. I can paint along, go back to correct what I mess up, or watch it through and go back and paint along later.
Great Sat Chat. Just what I needed after the super-stressed week I had! You brighten up our days!! Thank you!❤
Glad you like them! I hope this week is better!
It’s a shame the real time tutorials don’t do well on here because I enjoy them. I don’t paint along with you very often, I’m usually doing my own thing but still, I always learn something
I enjoy your sat chats 😊
I was so excited when you added my Waffle Flower swatch stamp suggestion to the list! I got that, two sizes of Paul Rubens cotton sketchbooks, and the Paint Puck Collapsi-bowl! So I'm feeling pretty restrained 😂👍🏻
Beautiful sat chat!!!❤❤❤❤
Hi Lindsay, I always enjoy your sat chats,
I’d love to see a video of how to make a sketchbook with 2 full sheets I have been wanting to try that.
Will do!
I am vegan too. Love the idea of making vegan crepes. Such a good summer idea
It’s black salt that is used to get that sulphury, eggy taste. I’m not completely vegan but eat that way a lot because of some gut issues.
I LOVE the long tutorials, I'll check your rose one out tomorrow!! Thanks:)))
Lovely SatChat, Lindsay as always❤ I agree with you about the use and health benefits of mung beans. I’m from Indian origin and vegetarian at that. Mung bean curry with bread or rice is like staple. You should one of the Indian mung bean curry recipes, if you like it you can easily swap out and make same with black eyed peas and more. It’s so easy to keep it soupy if you wanna eat with rice vs dry with bread by just varying amount of water in boiling it. I’m like you in terms of cooking, bare minimum 😂
You are sooo fun - thank you for ALL your videos!
You are so welcome!
Mad scientist yummy creations. I’ll have to give those a try. I love your energy this week. The hair saga never ends. I have difficulty too.
Teehee hee! This morning sat chat made me giggle multiple times. You'll be easily lifting that empty barbell in no time!
Good morning. I love the new projects. Your paintings are wonderful!
I think I have that exact cut glass serving dish in your painting. Been in my family for a very long time. I almost gave it to one of my kids, but I couldn't part with it. They'll get it when I pass. Hate to admit it, I have one of the original Caruso steam rollers too. I have like three different kinds and one had some decent clips so I would use them with it. Also have one that has like velvet type rollers. I haven't used it in probably 30 yrs. I need to de-clutter a lot of stuff.
If you have a lot of mung beans one of my favourite things to eat is an Indian salad called kosambari. I put cucumber and carrots in it and you can make it as spicy (or not!) as you want.
Yum!
oh boy i want to paint sheep ,i look forward to the video.have a wonderful weekend
I got out my hand weights as you after you talked about not wanting to feel frail as you aged. 😀 lol Your mung beans and peanut butter candies sound and look very good.. OH and I love your long painting videos they are always great!! Awesome gel pen sketches!!!
There is a real-time painting tutorial in today's livestream, too!
Oh darn I missed the livestream. I will hunt for it!
Oh man, Shinhan and gouache? I recently had the thought that gouache might be where I need to land, rather than watercolors or acrylics. I don't actually see myself giving up acrylics, but I do love the feel of the gouache which can give me the opacity of them and a bit of the magic of watercolors. And Shinhan? Oh man, I do like the watercolors a lot.
I just checked -- there's an 'A' set and a 'B' set..... and nope, not on sale any longer. Whew. So now they're in my "If wishes were horses" List. lol.........
Your sketch of widened took me back to that old movie A clockwork orange, which totally scared the crap outta me. Lol
That was the inspiration!
I love the long videos, and I'm sorry CZcams doesn't promote them. In my experience as a watcher, CZcams shows me every video of yours but right now, but if I were to stop watching your videos daily for even a week, they would stop showing up. The algorithm is super fickle! Also, your world watercolor month sketch is very "Clockwork Orange!"
oh I just love Summer Lindsay, she is the happiest lindsay ever, and yes i always use my good stuff everyday thats why you bought it.
The best!
I became frail in my early 50s. I was a weight lifter until my early 40s and the years flew by, I developed an eating disorder in the pandemic, I had stopped lifting. TL;Dr I developed osteopenia and osteoporosis. I'm back lifting and I'm eating like a person again, but the damage is done. Please, everyone, maintain your muscle mass, whatever size you are. I'm terrified of falling and it kind of limits what I'm willing to do at 56.
Loved your class yesterday!!! Keep your long tutorials!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Happy Weekend! I have not watched the rose tutorial as of yet but I will go watch it over the weekend ❤❤❤
Hope you like it!
I agree Prime day was nothing special. I saw the ShinHan gouache, but the pigments....
The other great deal I saw was Paul Rubens Hayia oil pastels. I've used up some of mine, but still have plenty of my set left... the giant size sticks were really tempting though!
Lindsay, I have been following you since the days of your fantastic "Ask a Crafter". I don't know if you have a copyright on those videos (you should) but I was thinking maybe your local PBS could use them during Pledge Drives. Maybe a box set? I remember when there was Jerry Baker who did gardening segments during pledge drives. I watched your videos when I really needed something to occupy myself while I was the 24/7 caregiver during the last years of my mother's life. I'd devour those videos, wrote each of your recommendations on it's own page and put them into several notebooks, organized by medium type. I've often wonder why you haven't written a book, "The Frugal Crafter's Tips, Tricks and Techniques".
Great idea!
Yeeeeey. Sat chat. Just started watching.
So very bubbly this day¡ 😊
another amazing episode ☺☺
Omg I NEED your energy today and have none. Girl you had me with a cheek to cheek grin listening to the chat.
MILLION DOLLAR IDEA 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the chat Lindsay have a wonderful weekend 🤗💕
Hullo Lindsay, thanks for another wonderful Sat-Chat! I was excited about the Michael’s class and then I slept right through it! I don’t even remember the notification going off! I have a comb binding machine and I have made a few sketchbook projects for gifts and even for myself! I wanted a Cheap Joe’s Kilimanjaro workbook and my wife said just go make your own! So I do occasionally follow through with the DIY projects! I have watched a few watercolor “sketchbook” videos and I am wondering if yours is easier? I am also just going to say I really enjoyed your real-time flower painting. I know that the algorithm will push these longer videos to the back, but I do find them and watching them brightens up my day! I have even followed a few too! Thank you for sharing this lovely time with us. Enjoy the rest of your day!
Thanks! I'll do a sketchbook video soon!
my soon to be 91 year old Mom loves pesto and has it with her fish! My niece had her baby shower this weekend and it was a lot of fun with all the ladies! She is having a boy and he is due Sept 18th!
Wonderful!
Omg love u Lindsay. Not sure how you talk so fast and still are able to t breathe 😂
Hubby used to have a bench press and I could never bench press the bar either and that was when I was in my late teens early 20’s! 😆
Good morning and happy Sat chat. Those protein chocolate balls sound amazing!! I spent very little on prime days this year. Being retired makes me really think do I need that or want that😂😂. I used to ask my daughter that question when she was little. Have a great weeken💕💕
Congratulations on your Michaels class!
Thank you!!
I have failed to plant So. Many. Plants. I know this story well!
Also, I've always meant to try and make buckwheat flour crepes, they are a traditional dish in Russia.
Don't forget the back of your body, i.e. triceps presses and reverse planks!
Ploys! They are great!
Hi Lindsay! I love all of your tutorials! Real times are awesome! I really love Critique club too! P.S. I really enjoyed your Michael's tutorial yesterday. Thank you for all you do for us and for sharing your amazing talent.❤
Yay! Thank you!
Your sharing the experience with weights was funny, but it’s great that you are so serious about exercise and staying fit! Good for you! Sat Chat is always fun! Have a great week!🤗😉
Thank you so much!!
Good Jon Lindsay! I’m 80 - I do push-ups on a low cement table at the open space area where I walk our day everyday. (Job - not Jon). I have 5# weights that I occasionally use in 4 different upper body maneuvers BUT I often forget about them. The push-ups I’m faithful to - minimum of 25 daily.
That is awesome!
Consistency, good form, and working towards some progression is the goal. You can progress to lifting the bar after several months of weight lifting, which would build muscle. You are awesome for trying this hard thing! Lifting has definitely helped my stairs, hiking, etc. You can do this!
Thanks for the tips!
Lindsey, here's a tip for you: if you look up physical therapy exercises for whatever area you want to work out, those exercises can be quite a workout as well.
Love your videos and you are NOT useless. Everybody has there strengths and yours is art.
I tried to do the shell with the elegant writer, but it was really dark. So then I tried the disposable fountain pens ( I have 30 or so of them 🤷🏻♀️) with better result. I don’t have a sparkle pen in my stash ( bummer) loved the rose!
lol. I’m not a vegan and really do not understand at all. But it is NOMB what people choose to eat. I do love me a good Black Bean Burger! You do you.
Sunscreens are greasy because the uv protection ingredients are oil soluable, and it takes more effort/cost to make them lighter feeling. Also, greasy formulations tend to wear off less than lighter ones since it's thicker
Good to know!
Try using Truvia (made from the Stevia plant) instead of Splenda, oh and you don't want what is sold and called Stevia in the stores because it has added fillers. Your dessert sounds a lot like what my Mom used to make (but she used real sugar), my husband has made them but tweaked her recipe a bit, by substituting Truvia for the sugar and adding coconut flakes. It's pretty good and curbs my chocolate cravings/sweet tooth. You have made me smile and giggle several times during this video and for that I want to thank you so very much. Love and hugs young lady. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
I am going to do the you tube rose video today or tomorrow, wasn't available yesterday. I'm sorry your real time didn't get enough hits yesterday. I also saved a pic of your reference photo for the roses.. I like your term sugar sick too. I only bought some pretty excellent
watercolors for my granddaughters BD . I agree use the good everything, I don't want my stuff to just be sold for nothing after I'm gone. My art room is almost reorganized after my declutter and it feels wonderful. I still have too much paint and paper but I'm using it up a little each day. I am doing some mailing round robin art with some internet friends and thats fun. I also cut some watercolor paper to Art Trading card size to create quick line and wash and zentangle inspired pieces to mail out in another
group.
This has been a fun Sat Chat. I workout with my husband and it’s all weight training and I think it’s so boring, but weight bearing exercise is the best thing for better bone density which is important for women. Keep up the good work!
I totally agree!
Good show!!! Lots of humor made me laugh. Great artwork too, esp your watercolors & gouache!!! You make it look so easy - true sign of a pro. Will be tuning in to a couple vids you mentioned. Those tomatoes are fabulous. Love the effects of the textures /shadows/ glass. I bet that one is not quite so easy as you made it look… have a good one!
SARA
Thank you! Cheers!
Sunblock sticks are great! I use the one from Neutrogena. They're great especially on the go (including work commutes and plein air adventures)
Good to know!
You look so very pretty not that you don’t always!!! Great Saturday chat 😊you always give good advice and ideas 💡 hugs Liz x
Oh thank you!
@@thefrugalcrafter You're welcome! 💕
I haven't lifted weights in years but I used to enjoy it
Applesauce can replace eggs
Hi! Yes, do a WWM painting with gouache; I have not used it much but have a couple of brands. Love your tomatoes painting; I have a nice pedestal crystal bowl that I should try to paint.
Great idea!
Good morning! Happy Saturday. I love the long videos! Longer the better. I think Just Egg used to have some really cool commercials. Have a good week all.
Another wonderful video Lindsay ❤ and as a fellow vegan I’m now going to order some mung beans 😂 xXx
Enjoy!
You made me laugh when you said you are proud of cooking your mung beans, as I also don’t garden or enjoy cooking. 😂 I am a vegetarian, trying to go vegan, so the mung beans sound great, I have also used Just Egg, a bit pricey. I like adding black salt to get the eggie (is that a word?) flavor.
A wonderful satchat Lindsey. Cheered me up no end after my Mum passed away two weeks ago 💔 .
So true about using your china/glass that you save "for best" & never use & now i have some of my mums too so better start using it all . Your glass painting is so good, love it.
Have a wonderful weekend & than k you 🙂👍
I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️ 💙 💜
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you ♥️
I have an opinion about vegans…they are AWESOME!!
Please show how to make the watercolor sketchbook in this video. I couldn’t find it in any of your playlists. Thank you 🌻
I second it! 👍
I will!
I'm so bummed I didn't realize there was a Michael's class this time, I'll have to catch the replay. 😢
Would love a tutorial on the large sheets down to a sketchbook.
Will do!
I want to learn how to make your sketch books.
Love you energy this morning 😊. I attended the Michael’s class yesterday, it was fantastic! I will definitely leave a review.
Wonderful!
I need to grab some chocolate and whip up a batch of those pb bites 🤤 I made some PB almond flour cookies this week, but yours sound way better 😁
Have a great week Lindsay and everyone 👋
I will watch that tutorial, CZcams has not served it up on my page so I will look for it on your channel.
I was also tempted by the Shinhan gouache, but I’m getting Sarah Burns’ gouache boxes, which come with Shinhan gouache, so I talked myself down, lol. It was hard, though!
I think the idea of the sulfur flavor in the vegan omelet isn’t to make it taste super sulfur-y, but to give a hint of that flavor so that it tastes more like real egg. I’ve seen vegan food creators use Indian black salt in vegan “egg” dishes for that reason. I’m not vegan, but I love a lot of vegan recipes, and I’ve tried the black salt - not sure I like it, but that could just be because I smelled it before adding to my recipe and have the strong smell in my mind still.
Lindsey, do you have a video on how you make your sketchbooks? Would love to see that!
Not yet!
I do DDPY. It's by Diamond Dallas Page from waaay back in the day- he wrestled in the 80s and 90s. It had helped me- I use the back programs though I stopped a few months ago. My back was messed up bad in a car accident and it's worsened over the years since. This winter I stopped it because coming out of the stretches was causing too much pain. I hope to pick it back up again. The Hulk It Ups get me laughing but he is motivating and he takes it seriously. I'm not into the crunchy group yoga stuff either. No salt to those who are; it does nothing for me though.
I have no issue when you mention you're vegan. You're not obnoxious and don't attack people who aren't.
You have a big point about using our supplies rather than them ending up dirt cheap at a yard sale. I will keep that in mind. My motivation has been sh** this year. But I'm swatching my watercolors and making cards for people this month so I'm doing something. While the swatches gets monotonous, it's cool seeing how they look on different papers. And- I'm using my Arches to swatch!! Lol I bought a pad of Arches and it sat for months...I'm using it now. I'm also using tan, grey and black mixed media paper. The results are fun, especially with metallics.
I enjoy your longform videos. Even if I don't have the chance to sit and watch, I'll play it through in the background and like it so you're getting the view counted. I watch it again when I've got the chance to pay close attention and that counts too. I think YT gives a channel 6 views before stopping the count. So if soemone watches a video 6x, it counts.
Hi, Lindsay. Thank you for your video. Best wishes to you. ❤
