    So look closely because there are clues throughout this vid as to just how many weeks I’ve been working on the one!! Hint: I get a refresh on these every 5 weeks 😂
    Any guesses?

      I also say nails. That was a huge project that gave me the organizational heebee jeebies at the beginning but resolved into lovely harmony by the end. That was like therapy! Good for you seeing it all the way through!

    What a project! With all those pans, it may have been easier and cheaper to make your own bottle of gum Arabic and keep it in the fridge. I make a pint at a time, (with distilled water) complete with clove and orange oil. I love BOTH paintings by the way. Making paint isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for those who see no boundaries to their creativity.

  • @ImeldaFagin
    @ImeldaFagin Před 9 měsíci +15

    Been there, didn’t do that. At some point in my super thrifty brain, I realized some of the cheap watercolors on Amazon had nice palettes. So yes, I pried them out and then held onto to them for a thousand years until I had to move at which point I threw them out. Which is a mortal sin, if God is a painter.

  • @laurenb9479
    @laurenb9479 Před 9 měsíci +7

    There are elements in both that I love but overall, I think I like painting 2 better. I really like your background in painting 1 but I think it takes attention away from the bouquet rather than support it. I'm glad you did a second one b/c you got a really good feel for how those paints work and play together and I think that better informed your second piece 😊

    Glad YOU did this. Now I know that it's absolutely NOT my thing. LOL! It's hard enough carving out time to paint and bridge those creative lull times when I'm trying to climb out of the abyss. Can't imagine investing all this energy into a time-consuming endeavor.

  • @natsumisayuri7819
    @natsumisayuri7819 Před 9 měsíci +1

    I like 2 the most because the background from 1 takes away from all the cool colors of the mushrooms. In this case the less is more makes me like 2 the most.

  • @artgirl1212
    @artgirl1212 Před 9 měsíci +4

    I love everything about this! My favorite is painting 2 although both are fantastic. I just like the white space in painting 2 and the colors stand out more. This was such a great idea Kristy. How fun. 🎨🥰

  • @user-xe4is4nj4w
    @user-xe4is4nj4w Před 9 měsíci

    Hard decision but I think #1 is my favorite…I can see why you don’t favor making your own handmade paints…not only is it laborious but it doesn’t always come out the way you want…I guess you need the temperament to deal with such a long process…I love that you gave it your best shot and the colors are wonderful…especially that blue and the peach…loved the Frankenpalette project and would like to see some other paintings using them…great video…you’re so much fun to watch👍🤩👍🤩

Of course only you could tell how well they performed, but the paintings both turned out great, a tribute to your skill and talent!

    I figured it took more than a few days, but wasn't really paying attention to your nails, I was watching the process and the paintings at the end. They both turned out really good, I think the one you painted on the Legion Stonehenge paper I like a little better, it is softer. I think this was successful for sure. A lot of work and bless you for your diligence in making it happen and sharing your process.

    It's quite lovely! I'm a beginner (as in never explored the world of watercolor) but I'm absolutely in love with your paintings, your style, your knowledge and your videos are extraordinary! I'm paralyzed with limited hand function so I'm always trying things that make art fun and give me more ability to create art! You're truly inspiring! I can't use my fingers but have always colored/drawn/paint using arm movements. I've binge watched your videos for the past 3-4 days. I'm so intrigued and wondering where has watercolor been all my life through all my creative struggles. On 1 hand I'm intimidated but on the other hand I'm so ready to throw down some paint!

    @sunnycharacter Před 9 měsíci +1

    Lol Kristy, it’s funny that you should mention the (asmr) paint mulling videos. Such relaxing, esthetic productions. Clean work surfaces, often a cat and a bright window, and a plant nearby. Only the soft sounds of emptying the tube of pigment, the grinding of the powder as it mixes with fragrant fluids… But like you said, if you’re one that occasionally makes their own paint like you and me, you know the mess, the constant cleaning of the plate and the tools, pouring into pans, wiping them off, repouring after the paint has shrunk back. Oh my, do these wonderful people have a muller and plate for each and every color?! Lol We know better. But really, once you get in the groove, it is a wonderful exercise, and yes, your shoulder and bicep 💪🏼 will betray you. 😂
