Loved this lesson Cheryl. My first painting with black white and yellow and I added orange looked like a tangled woods at Halloween! 🤣🤣 It started out pretty abstract but I kept seeing things in there like a tree trunk and of course I had to start adding branches and then things looked like birds and then I had to paint a ladder on the tree so kids could climb up and there went my abstract but boy did I have fun and ended up with a goofy looking painting. What a blast. Tomorrow I’m going to paint over it and maybe be able to keep it abstract and not paint in real things like trees and ladders.🤣🤣🤣I started two others at the same time with just black marks. I’ll try tackling them another day. Maybe I can keep the abstract true in them.
Your message made me smile!!! Some of my favorite abstracts are the ones I painted over with layers. Part of our journey is having fun, so you’re doing it right!!!!
Here is a video I share my ideas!!!!. "Titling Your Paintings" How I Give Titles to My Paintings. Creative Idea to Giving Your Art a Title th-cam.com/video/IlwCrK2I4VA/w-d-xo.html
Good question! If you look at my Amazon store, you’ll see links to a lot of the papers I use that mark making tools I use I grab a lot of things that are out there, but I mainly use charcoal and graphite. Those are my favorites, pencils, paper I use canon and Strathmore, but in my link under paper, it shows a lot of different ones I will use, I don’t mind trying new things I will use oil sticks in the end I don’t really have a set of 10 things I use. I probably use quite a few mark making tools so I’d be hard to list them all but check my Amazon store because I do list a lot of what I use there to make it easy for myself to go back and find it again when I want it Took me a while to respond. I got that nasty virus and it’s taken me seven days in bed to even somewhat recover which I never stay in bed. I’m not even after surgeries I’m up and moving around but this really put me down for a while.
Thank you for no music. This session has been particularly useful for me, because it gives me the freedom and the power to push through that ugly stage, which I come to every single painting.
I love your paintings Cheryl thank you for sharing with us you inspire me so much I love all the marks you make you have such an intuitive sense of what to do nextI am just a beginner and I have learned so much from you thank you
I love your tutorial on Mark Making. Thank you for sharing. I love working with my palette knives so much texture achieved. Waiting to see more of black, white abstract!!
Great to see how you work …. instructional and inspirational at the same time 😊. How do you get the paper to be flat for framing when done …. seem more like a cowlick than art when done …. Although much more beautiful of course 😂
If I want to seal the marks while doing the painting, I seal with a fixative. When I am completely finished and when the painting sells, I varnish with their chose of mat or gloss.
Second comment here. I laughed when you talked about “the ugly stage” I’ve been stuck there for a very long time n(I’m almost 80 years now, and still consider myself a student. Even though I’ve been painting for 50 years. You are so encouraging and I like your gentile voice. 🥰
I love your comment when you said you’re still a student because I think when we keep ourselves open to continually learning there’s an excitement there we also go through a learning curve so there’s many times that I go back to being at the beginning of a learning cycle in my painting and then there’s times that I cycle to where I think I finally got it so I’m glad that my videos could be of help to you. Your comment means a lot to me.
I do not know why I thought of this, but one time this artist had an ad locally to help him. He was local and I was just starting out so thought I could learn from him. When I called him, he said he needed an artist to do his painting for him as he had several art galleries he provided paintings for and needed to put out a lot of paintings!!! I thought.... uhhhh, someone else paints your paintings for you? I need to go look up his name to see how is is doing. I would love help in filming, but NEVER paintings my art for me, hahaha
Thank you very much Leslie!! I hope to keep interesting videos coming your way!! My husband shared his covid with me so am recovering, but think I will keep up the current schedule of one video a week!!!
I think I may have been undervaluing something as simple and basic as mark-making in considering the larger elements of a painting, so thank you for focusing on that. Also, I wanted to comment that I'm no photographer or camera expert, but I have no problem viewing your presentations with the current equipment you're using.
thank you for your comment! lines and marks can finish a painting for me! Especially when they are unique to you. Like your favorite shape or certain lines together. Thank you for the comment about the camera. I do not make very much on You Tube right now and want to someday invest in a better vlog type camera, but that time will come. I feel I am getting some solid concepts with what I have for now, so thank you so much.
Hi Cheryl, keep the B&W tutorials coming...I have done some mixed media abstracts with intuitive marks. Do you accept paintings to comment on? I subscribed to your channel, is there a Patrion to join? TU
Veronica, thank you so much for subscribing!! I love black and whites and neutrals so will continue to add videos for you like this and others. I currently do not have patreon, but have been asked before if I did, I am thinking about it. That way I can go into more depth!!I do however work with artist's under a mentorship and discuss work of artists if that might be of interest in additional to individual discussion. Here is the link: intentionalartist.newzenler.com/intentionalartistmentoring again, thank you for your response i do appreciate it
Sorry about that! You Tube took the sound away due to a claim of copywrite. I have tried to fight it, but they will not put it back. I have since paid for music to avoid TH-cam's claims, but cannot recreate this scenario, my apologies.
Thank you so much Cheryl! Your video inspired me to keep painting. Please add music when you're not speaking if possible, its more entertaining and fun. God bless you 😃
Ok, I stopped on some as people complained at having music!!!! I tried low music, peppy music, and currently am buying music to make them better!! Thanks for your comment, I’ll keep trying
@@CherylWilsonArt just found your channel. Really enjoying the process. And I don’t mind the quiet. Helps me concentrate on what you are doing. Thank you.
@@lizzieb.4160 thank you for your comment!!! I try to accommodate what people want although that shifts!!! So I do my best! I many times paint during quiet or cello
Hello Susan!!! Thank you for saying that!!!! I’ve signed up for epic sounds so I can have tons of choices!!!! I hope my current videos have fun but softer picks!!! I’ve learned I just can’t please everyone

Very enjoyable video and like all the work here.
I agree with you adding music.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Great to see how you work …. instructional and inspirational at the same time 😊. How do you get the paper to be flat for framing when done …. seem more like a cowlick than art when done …. Although much more beautiful of course 😂
I never has issues with flattening my artwork. I put a piece of glassine on top, then heavy books for a day or so. Thank you for your comment!!
ah, ok and that works well ? ok thanks :-)
Do you seal your art work that’s on paper when finished…love watching you pant
If I want to seal the marks while doing the painting, I seal with a fixative. When I am completely finished and when the painting sells, I varnish with their chose of mat or gloss.
Thank you so kindly for your beautiful and informative art presentations. Highly valued. : )
thank you SOOO much, that encourages me so much!

Lovely! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your comment and encouragement
When you add tissue prints what do you sparay with?
i use a gel medium like Golden to adhere tissue pieces. both to adhere and on top
Do you gesso your paper first?….also is this smooth watercolour paper or the texted one….video is very helpful…..thank you
I rarely use gesso first, but you certainly could, I just don’t. The paper is not textured.
@@CherylWilsonArt thank you for your reply much appreciated
@@shibaanimagaming4433 anytime!!!
