Thanks!

I just found your channel. I am not sure how others feel about this, but as I am watching this I am a little surprised by your using the 1/3 size shared screen with the super large printed black portion on the right. It makes it harder to see what you are showing us. I'm watching on my phone as many do and tried turning it landscape but it was the same way. The print on the side isn't nearly as important as seeing what you are showing us. I like the content and how you explain things a lot and the great tips. Just this new viewers' perspective. I'll check out your videos and look forward to seeing what else you have.

Thank you very much for your comment. What you are seeing is Doreen's first attempt at shooting a video with her husband locally and my attempt to turn it into a horizontal video. You can view the second attempt or shoot on Doreen's channel at @okanaganartgypsy which will appear on this channel later next month. Your patience is appreciated while we all learn how to make the best content and we both appreciate your kind words. :-)

May I suggest to drop the right side of the screen, it's just way too big and distracting. Apart from that, you are a super duper teacher ❤ Fantastic suggestions ❤😊

[@processartdiscovery]

Thank you very much! That was our first attempt at creating a video outside of the studio and there was / is much to learn. On the second attempt Doreen and her husband Stan shot "A deep dive into local color" which is on her channel now at @okanaganartgypsy and will be featured here on Processartdiscovery next month. Thank you so much for watching!! :-)

I don't think you are allowed to test canvases with alcohol in the store.

[@tmerk4292]

Oh shit, it's the canvas police 👀

[@processartdiscovery]

Thanks for the interest. In this case Doreen is testing a canvas from a used store for resurfacing and they didn't mind. Always a good idea to get permission ahead of time. :-)

[@okanaganartgypsy]

Thankyou. It was at value village and when you use a little alcohol on a q tip, It leaves no mark in the canvas. So has no effect on the picture.
I hope you didn't think I was at an art gallery. That would be criminal!
