    Hi Mark,
    This was another truly mesmerising creation.
    It reminds me of some incredible Aboriginal dream time pieces up around the Kimberly & Pilbara regions in the far north of Western Australia.
    The colours & wavy lines are so like the air shimmering as you travel through the heat & dust of the outback.
    Thank you so much for taking me back to an area of Australia I love.
    Thanks too, for again sharing your talents with us. You continue to inspire so many people.
    Have a great week & I am looking forward to seeing your next creation.
    Cheers, Adrienne

    Hi Mark.
    I love it.
    I was not sure what would it be like. I didn' t like it when you put the colors on the canvas and pushed with the baloon.
    But... when you spreaded all the colors and layed one texture to another... wow.
    The result is very impressive 😉.
    Please don't stop experimenting and allow your creative genius to go forward.

    Bonjour Mark, 🥰 Je m'endormais avant d'écouter cette vidéo. Je suis tombée sur la vidéo où il y a une musique appaisante et toi qui créér dans ta bulle. 😁🥰 Mais J'ai résisté au sommeil pour voir le parcours que tu utiliserais pour cette création.❤❤❤ J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé te voir appliquer des couleurs puis faire de belles textures avec ta ballown. Puis les genres de rayons de soleil avec ton scraper. Trois demi-soleil. 😍 Comme lorsqu'il se couche le soir.
    J'adore contempler les couchés de soleil et ses variations de couleurs qui se répercutent dans le ciel et les nuages. 🎉🎉
    Ensuite tu as créé beaucoup de design et de motifs différents. 💚💙💗 J'adore le résultat final et le cadrage que tu as fait autour donne de la prestance à l'oeuvre.🥰 Magnifique création Mark!!
    j'adore ❤
    Je te souhaite une belle semaine!! ❤❤❤
    Au prochain vidéo!! J'ai hâte de voir ce qui nous attends.
    Je suis en retard pour écouter certains vidéo, parfois j'en ai regardé mais j'avais peu d'inspiration pour écrire. 🤷‍♀️

    🙋‍♀️ Before I even watch you paint, I have a question 🙋‍♀️ It’s a simple one that I can’t believe I’m even asking….the masking tape: is it regular masking tape or a special painters masking tape? I’ve used masking tape on several supstraights before but it pulls up some of what is underneath.

    • @MarkJRatcliffeArt
      @MarkJRatcliffeArt  Před 2 dny

      Thank you. This is just regular masking tape. But if you want a cleaner edge, take a colour and water it down slightly and just paint along the edge for a cleaner line 👍🏻
