It's a real honor just to be able to see your process and the joy you have in creating something so beautiful and majestic! Perfect music to enhance it all! Thanks for your videos!
This is gorgeous and exactly how i aspire my mixed media art to look like. Not quite there yet, as i really struggle with sketching faces and am just beginning. I love everything about this piece! Thank you!
I can’t tell you how glad I am that I’ve just found your channel and this video especially!! I’ve had an idea for a series of paintings, for 1 1/2 years, of self-portraits as a way to process trauma, etc, but I haven’t known HOW to bring the vision in my head, to life. YOU ROCK!!! Huge thank you, as I feel like if I watch this again and your other videos, that I can finally put my vision to canvas!!
What a great tutorial! Although I am not going to go out and try to duplicate your efforts, I found this video mesmerizing and instructive! Also, beautiful painting. I love all the little details, layers and products used to create this masterpiece. BRAVO!❤
Just came across you while searching and immediately subscribed... this is a great video and I'll be checking out what other videos you have as mixed media is where I want to take my portraiture painting; it looks so much fun! ✨✨
I am in love with your techniques and talent. I had no idea it what this was called but it's what I've been dreaming of creating all my life but didn't get to start my art journey until I was 54! I'm going to start trying these techniques.Thanks so much for sharing You have a true artist soul :)
I have been scrolling TH-cam for days trying to find a tutorial that will teach me how to actually start my own piece. This video is so informative! Thank you! Your art is wonderful.
Sie sind so eine tolle Künstlerin. Vielen Dank für diese wundervollen Videos , ich kann gar nicht genug bekommen . Ihre Art zu malen gefällt mir sehr .
Just lovely. Along the same vein of a previous comment this painting screams the Polynesian goddess Pele at me. The flowers remind me of plumeria that grows all over the Hawaiian Islands, the colours speak of lava, the black volcanic rock and the turquoise the Pacific Ocean. Stunning painting.
Thank you! Not only is your creativity/painting fabulous but the technique info you share is amazingly generous and greatly appreciated! I have a BFA so I'm not new to the process yet I was stuck on a painting inspiration for over 4 yrs. The images that come are in bits and pieces but how to execute them? I had some techniques down but after viewing your video VOILA here is the foundation for the process to flow!!
Wow. I missed this one when you shared it, but I'm glad I watched it tonight. Love the process, the colors, the different mediums & materials used, & the outcome. Simply awesome!
Lydia, I am in absolute awe of your talent. Watching this is like watching a magic show. From your acrylic inks tester canvas at the beginning, (which I think was awesome in itself!) to your finished painting, really beautiful work. Thank you so much for sharing your talent, experience, knowledge and patience with us. Its very much appreciated.
That was cool to watch. I was surprised how loose and painterly you were with it at the start and how it all came together. It looks amazing, great job :o)
I love this! After 20 yrs or so painting in oils, I'm going to jump in with both feet to acrylics. I don't remember much about them, but I've been watching your videos and others on the subject of Mixed Media. I've started a portrait of my son and when I finished the sketch (I don't draw directly to the canvas) I transferred it to the canvas by tracing and then transferring to canvas. As the canvas is black, I used white oil pastel on the back of the sketch so my tracing would show up on the black canvas. Now I realize that since my tracing is showing white on the black background that I have committed the cardinal sin of applying an oil-based medium that I intend to paint over with acrylics. Do you have any suggestions for me as to how I should proceed? I would appreciate any tips at all.
Thank you for explaining on how you determine your color pallet including the seasonal change. We moved from N.Y to Texas & the energy is a different animal. Poetry, art & music have saved my life. Thank you for sharing & rock on 💫
Love your work so much, you inspire the portrait artist in me, problem is that artist is hopeless 😂 I can draw ok, I think, but I just can't paint, however you make me feel like I might be able to, maybe, hopefully 🙄 Thank you for your tutorials 🙏👏👏👏👏
You are PHENOMINAL! This is exactly what ive been trying to figure out. Theres a beautiful mural in a cafe that ive been going to. I took pictures of it and ive been staring at it wondering how it was done. Thank you. You are an amazing artist. I wish i didnt waste so manybyears not using the gift i was given. I sure hope i can become as good as you some day.
great video, thank you for sharing your talent. Do you varnish? If yes, what kind and, most importantly, how. I looked through your videos and did not find this ( sorry, if I missed it). I in my personal opinion, it is one of the most important step in the whole process. Thank you in advance for your time.
Salaams Sister, nice job informative we've learned a lot about mixed media with your vids. Thank you. Insha'Allah (When The CREATOR WILLS) we hope to share our work with others as well. Take care
You packed a lot of information in this video. I had no idea of using medium over my sketch. So awesome because I always lose some of my sketch. Can’t wait to try it out and hopefully save myself some time. I have to get some acrylic ink now as well. Also, I love the idea of water based spray paint! Didn’t realize they made that either. Also, really love the hanger for stencils too. Awesome and informative! Thank you for sharing.
Your tutorials are just what I've been looking for! I've been an artist for years, but with your tutorials, you're helping me fill in the blanks! Thank you!
It's magnificent !!! 😍😍Thank you very much for sharing! I used the transcription to understand the steps since I don't speak English. At the very beginning, we wet the canvas with water but in a cup there is a "little gloss" : is it just water? Sorry for this stupid question. Thank you again for GENEROUSLY sharing this video.
This is spectacular wow you are incredibly talented. I absolutely LOVE this mixed media art. This is gorgeous. I need to see more of your work so it will help me embark on an easy beginning
Beautiful and very informative … I “almost” feel like I understood some of it and could tackle painting someday .. you’re a great teacher on top of painter !❤
I love this video and I'm going to use your fabulous techniques for one of my paintings. I've already done the crow one, but used a magpie instead. Thanks Lydia. Love all your work!!
You teach fifty lessons in this one video. At least. Truly marvelous and brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's a real honor just to be able to see your process and the joy you have in creating something so beautiful and majestic! Perfect music to enhance it all! Thanks for your videos!
this is the most valuable clip I watched this month. I can't wait to try these yechniques

Best tutorial ever!! Absolutely love the finished painting. Thanks for all the great info ❤
Stunning, I loved every bit of it.
LOVVVVE what you are doing and the music is SOOOO INSPIRING
Awesome tutorial, thank you ❤
LOL. You will always be the artist who says “turkwahs” instead of “turquoise” (rhymes with ‘tur-noise). I LOVE this painting!
What a great tutorial! Although I am not going to go out and try to duplicate your efforts, I found this video mesmerizing and instructive! Also, beautiful painting. I love all the little details, layers and products used to create this masterpiece. BRAVO!❤
