Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 พ.ค. 2020
Creative practices & self-reflection almost always ignites your life & career to blossom into something beautiful.
Growing into the person you want to become starts with filling it with things that bring you joy. This means that you need to step into your best version & make time for little moments of mindfulness. All aiming to bring together the wild chaos in your mind to a more relaxed flow state.
With a creativity, your life becomes a glorious journey alongside your ideas, your mindful practices & you get to create a space where reflection renews your perspective on life.
With creativity your journey to a joyful lifestyle is fulfilled through playfulness, finding yourself & falling in love with life in a creative connection with the lives that connect to you in the short moments we are here together. Becoming the master of Self, not overwhelmed by chaos but on the path to discover your best life!
May you live a life of happiness with the gifts you nurture.

Cedarwood, Poinsettia & Succulent Wreath
Today we are painting the wreath on my dining room table. In it there are some Cedarwood cuttings, the Poinsettia we made earlier this month & a few good examples of the succulents all around the wreath to fill a double spread in our Aroma Journal.
If you are looking for more information on how to make one for yourself, you can always take a deep breath when things feel a little heavy this time of year, you'll feel more than grounded, you'll feel safe. Stay grounded this festive season & add a little drop of Cedarwood to your Mindful Practices, then head on over to our Blog to read about how you can ground yourself in Love for the coming year.

Love ASMR😍
You always make the simplest of drawings look like a million dollars
So beautiful. Thanx for sharing your talent. You made my heart melt when you mentioned sunflowers reminded you of me... Now I have the sniffles
Mommy, your sunny enthusiasm and heartfelt hugs are some of my favourite things 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

You are the best hugger - Thanks Mom
Oe nice brush. Love the colors. PS: hoekom is die video so rukkerig...tipe van n time delay effek
HI, the Watercolour Dry sheets are from Peerless & they are extremely vivid & I love their ease of use. These ones came in a loose pack & I stuck them onto a cover with Watercolour Test strips to take them with on trips. The Video looks like it is staggering because I had it on a hyper time lapse, more than an hours worth of painting leaves & Dip Pen Inking crammed into about 7 minutes ;)
Thank you for all the great painting tips in this video. Love it all!
Lovely video! Thank you... Will surely practice ❤
Great to know you enjoy s Sketchbook too🌸
This is really nice. It would be helpful if you listed what you used to make the card.
Hi Suzanne, in this video I’m painting with the Kuretake, Gansai Tambi “Starry Colors” It is done on a black pre-cut postcard size card stock. I mention quite a bit more throughout the INKTOBER 2020 series in the playlist as I decided to just do my own daily painting on a postcards I cut out before the series started.
@@tanyajdewet thank you for the info, the paints are beautiful & you work is lovely.
I discovered your channel today and have subscribed. I enjoy watching and learning from your painting style and the calmness of your videos.
Thank you, I appreciate your support. You can find more things in every video description. I currently have a free shipping code you can use.
I love these colours. Thank you for getting me out of the rut of using the typical greens and browns for trees.
So glad you enjoyed the colours xo
Creating a Connection & a Flow to your Creativity through painting in a large Sketchbook & a daily creative practice with Watercolour Paint!
I love this since I LOVE playing wit paint like this! It is only when I do this that I find that I really discover color, and can let a lot of the painting just happen!
Yes, the best way to use watercolour is to let it do what it does best, just flow. Have you checked out more recent videos? I play with watercolours every day & post a new video every week... How often do you paint with watercolours?
@@tanyajdewet The last several years, I didn't paint much at all... but I just got one cataract fixed and the difference between my fixed eye and the bad eye is like night and day! The cataract makes my vision like looking out of a window that has been damaged by smoke - a definite yellow ochre tint to EVERYTHING. The sky has looked polluted and I didn't realize that it was clear cobalt, not teal! Strange - plus it is much clearer. I honestly had NO idea! So, I've been playing around and have gotten my brushes wet again! I have also been working on the story of my great-grandparents and their emigrating from Northern Norway to Dakota Territory. Trying to fit painting back in! I used to paint every day! I would take classes, too, but it seems like the majority of students only painted in class. I could not understand that!
@@katpaints sounds like you are doing great so far and what a great story of your Grandparents. Well worth painting too.
Yes! All of them!
Yes! Especially the pinks xo
Hahaha look at the kitty <3
Thank you for your art and calming voice, Kitties too....
My kitty is soo cute & she “paints” with me all the time xo
Precioso...
Hermoso
This is the first time I have seen an experiment done this way - with the test strip. I really feel like it ended up being its own work of art. Thank you for sharing!!
🌹
These postcard videos are so helpful. Small projects to try out. When are you going to add to the Postcard playlist?
Did you see the new “Four Watercolour Postcards” video?
Thanx for this one. I really have a problem with where to place highlights and shadows when painting freehand and this helped.
You are welcome xo
😍💜👏👏👏
Just what I needed. Thank you. This is a gift.
You're so welcome!
😊😍🙏
awesome. love the colours, love the shadow, love your advise... always spot-on
Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot for all your work. have a good day :):) from France :)
Thanks, you too!
What kind of brush are you using? Looks awesome!
Hi Mary Beth, the brush I used in this video is known as a "Mop Brush". They hold plenty of water & paint and works like a dream. I'm happy to see you are exploring the channel & discovering thing you enjoy.
@@tanyajdewet thank you!I am just a beginner and totally love your videos. I will have to get myself a mop brush! pS thanks for the prompt reply!
@@tanyajdewet trying to order one...may I ask what size it is?

Hope it helps you out in your search, although I always encourage artists to try synthetic brushes too.
@@tanyajdewet Thank you Soooo much!
Are those watercolor pencils or regular colored pencils? Thank you
They are Artist colour pencils that lay down solid colour. The brands are Derwent & Faber Castelle.

I had the same question. Glad I read this before repeating it. I love this trick/technique....I thought the postcard was perfect before...then you added the shadows, etc and WOW!!
I love this!
Oh my word what beautiful colours. When can I expect mine? I am definitely going to look for it here in South Africa
Best to order yours from Amazon US, it'll reach you faster.
those last touches always fascinates me because that is when the painting starts to POP. thanks for sharing
Glad you like them!
You most certainly understand watercolour. Like you told me over and over again it is all about the water. I will keep on practicing ( your voice in the back of my head edging me on )
You can do it!
