Oh my goodness! I’ve been in this for about 3 months. The 1st video I saw was a blowout done by Kanella Ciraco on FB. It blew my mind. I never knew anything like these techniques existed and I’m still blown away at how many I’ve seen. I’m watching your video 91 now and will look up your mentor. I just love this acrylic painting! Thank you for sharing!
I'm 49 and have cptsd. After watching you for about 15 min I realized how therapeutic fluid art has been for me. I've watched many different videos and will say you are a new favorite. I'm grateful for your honesty and will continue to check out your beautiful work.
What a beautiful bloom, I love the colours. I'm from Sydney Australia and have only recently found art to be my saviour. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Your work is absolutely stunning. I am so glad you are talking more. We feel like we are getting to know you. I started doing fluid art as therapy myself. It makes you feel calm and happy to create something beautiful.
Hi from Australia. Have just enrolled in a course to become a art therapist, may never use it for employment but thought it might help myself and later thought I might do some volunteer art therapy
Ellsworth, Maine. The Algonquin was a wonderful place to stay. But, that was many years ago! I am looking forward to learning about this art form to deal with my anxiety and on-going disabilities. Thanks for being here!
Oh my goodness, welcome!! I travel to Ellsworth often, though not as much in the summer as the traffic from Bangor is a tiny bit busy lol! :) So glad you're here. Thank you!
@@LilKArtistry It makes it verrry intereshting when there are only four roads converging in Ellsworth to get to Mt. Desert and Acadia National Park! That four way traffic light is right down the street so I must navigate it to go anywhere! I loved your bloom and shall be binging to catch up!
You’re adorable. I’m glad you’re telling about the paints and everything. It’s really good to hear. I’m proud of you. You are just an awesome person and your artwork is extremely beautiful. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful evening.
It definitely does that it lets you forget about your troubles and put your mind on your art… I think that’s why a lot of people that is add, adhd etc. can relate to art… That’s my thing so I know it’s very therapeutic to help with other things in life❤
Art is therapy for me as well. I've been thinking about using what I've been through and learned to help other individuals that have brain injuries. But lovely painting. . I'm from Maryland.
Great video and painting. I love that you're having fun and laughting along the way. Do you dampen down the back of your canvas and paint with gesso at the same time or wait till it dries ? Following from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺 😀
@todd8634 Hi! Thank you and welcome! So glad you found my little channel. And yes, I wet the back of the canvas and paint with gesso then let it dry completely before I paint on the front. Tightens up the canvas nicely. ☺️
You are awesome, how you became a terrific artist, and you really are good as an artist, that flower came out BEAUTIFUL…keep on doing those paintings… 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
First time I have found you, glad I have 👍. For only having such a short period of painting experience, you are very talented. Love the colours and design 😃
Hi I've just came across your channel and love your style I've just subscribed ❤- I'm from Scotland UK and look forward to your other upcoming videos and great info.
My God! Your artwork is stunning. I think you shouldn't worry too much about the "imperfections". The purpose of art therapy is exactly to make us relax. Most people prefer those imperfections because it's what makes something "unique". Love it! 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️ Hugs from UK.
Rinske Douna is also one of my favorite and so is Olga Soby and Mollys Artistry. They were the first artists I learned from when I started my jorney in december 2020. This piece is gorgeous. I´m from Sweden.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and all the helpful tips. I knew about spraying the back of the canvas with water but not using gesso, very good to know. Like you I never knew how to pronounce gesso 🤔so I just now googled it and found you pronounce it like the name Jess not like the word guess😊 Also, you live in my favorite state, Maine is so beautiful. I have cousins that live near Damariscotta and when I visit I never want to leave. Thank you again, you are an inspiration and a lovely person and I am so glad that art has helped you overcome the trauma you experienced. I have found animals, nature and art bring peace and comfort into our lives. I look forward to all your future videos. Take care❤
Hi Laura - newbie subscriber from NSW Australia 🇦🇺 Great video and very touching how you spoke about PTSD etc - I am currently in the same age and position as you so would like to send you some love and light 😊 ❤️🥰🌟 Lynne
Oh my goodness Laura from NSW Australia, welcome and THANK YOUUUUU! You are so sweet and kind, and yes, sending love and light and prayers right back at you!!
Hello from Canada. It’s art therapy for me as well, but mine is the trauma of Menopause and also living and working with my husband for 33 years married almost 37 years. Your art space is beautiful and your video was wonderful. Thank you for sharing
I graduated in 1982! Summer vacays in calais, maine, on keenes lake red beach, maine but frequent jumps across to Canada for candy! We probably crossed paths!
Definitely a keeper… I love it. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours so of course I’m going to follow… Actually, I’m following because you mentioned at the beginning that you used gesso on the back of your canvases, and I thought of that without even knowing anyone else thought of it just the other day😂❤
Hi or should I say G,Day from Australia today is the first time I have seen your video. I have been doing flow art for some years now and am glad for people like you. I get a lot of inspiration from Molly Sarah Olga and many more. I was thinking I would like to have my own podcast from Australia but I don't know if I could have much more to offer people. But keep up the great work 😂
Hi , so beautiful paint ! I love it ...i follow you from France 😊 could you tell me , please , the proportions of paint and water you use to realise the mixing of colours you pour on the canvas and the one you blow with the hair dryer . It would be very kind to you . Thanks a lot , Marie
Welcome and thank you!! So glad you found my channel. I post videos every day that will help you on your fluid art journey. There are many others on here too, I guess it all depends on the stye of art they do and if you like their videos and personality. I watch TONS and have more than one mentor. :) Remember, it's a journey so have fun with it!
@@LilKArtistry thank you so much ! I love your style and I love Dutch pours. My grand daughter is 10 and takes art classes and she tells me all the time how it helps with her anxiety and I have PTSD and anxiety and depression myself. I’m going to start buying a few things at a time to get started.
Yes I have also suffered trauma and PTSD since the pandemic hit. I am depressed and lack motivation but I think I will force myself to do art. Seems I am afraid to mess it up. The 2 fluid pours and a flip cup pour didn’t turn out so now I guess I will just paint over it. I think Jesus made me find you. 🙏💕
I appreciate that! Thank you so much. There are still many videos I have done previously which do not include any talking and I will continue to share those. Sometimes, like in video #108, I mute any talking or refrain from speaking so I can just feel the feels and make the art. :)
Fantástico ficou excelente ❤
Com todo o respeito a Sra também é lindíssima ❤
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the process. I will do many more of these, love them so!

J E S S O
Thank you! I will never mispronounce it again! :)
Dayton, Ohio
Gesso is pronounced as if it begins with the letter "J" as in the word "just", so Jesso is the pronunciation. HTH. I looked it up to make sure.😊
Hehehe thank you!!!!!
Gesso is an Italian word it is pronounced as if it is spelled Jesso the G becomes a J sound instead of the hard G.
Lodi, CA
Texas
In English if “g” is followed by an “e” or “i” it is pronounced like “j”. It is a hard “g” when followed by “a”, “o”, or “u”.
Well thats super helpful!
Hi. To answer your question: "Gesso" is pronounced "Jesso" 🙂
Interesting, I did my Post Graduate Degree Dissertation on the effect of ptsd of members of the police service on job satisfaction..
