I love the way you described language as lines, curves, dots all connecting to make sense, to communicate wisdom, ideas, inspiration, learning, experience, emotions, warnings, teachings etc. ...and in Art, this also expresses listening, observing, absorbing, meditating etc "In the beginning was the WORD"... Deep calls to deep
@@thefarpavilion don't be nervous, you're being your authentic self and doing it through art. You're not proselytising at all! What you shared was honest and came from personal perspective. I commend you for this sister (",)
Enjoying this very much and your description and thoughts. I'm still watching this and realize it's 10 months old but, I would like to add I hope you added the phrase. ❤️
Love this piece ! I was especially intrigued by the use of the fine-liner bottles with the shellac . Really great idea . Your phrase - ' It was good " - very thought provoking at this insane and chaotic point in time ..... Thanks for everything . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
I really like the piece and I like its symbolism. I would not add more words to explain any further. I think it is absolutely perfect the way it is. Thank you for all that you share. I am learning a lot from you.
I think I would agree with Paula. I tend to be too literal sometimes in my work and I think that doesn't allow the viewer to bring their own interpretation to the table. (I'm speaking to myself as well as you!) Functionally I'm not quite sure I understand about burying the layers of lines. Maybe in person you can see them better, but for me watching the video the lines pretty much disappear. Lastly-- a technical question -- what solution are you using to wipe down the oil paints at the end.
Great video...as well as sharing your thoughts behind the creation. Use the words that impressed you as the title...that way, people still have the opportunity to interpret your visual communication. Love the strokes created by wiping the Linseed oil...creates the effect of "Spirit moving upon the face of the deep". Well done! Would have left more lines on each section rather than covering over with other layers of wax...they were beautiful! Using the thin line bottles was brilliant for adding lines...again, well done!
I love the effect of the words & the use of the streaky marks! The only thing is that the extra wax between the 2nd & third layer of lines hid the lines too much for my liking, so you can’t see those beautiful wet shellac burn lines as well, since you used all dry ones on top of that. Clear medium would have given depth there while emphasising all that texture. And I know this is an old video, but I hope you didn’t add an extra line of writing. This looks awesome as it is, although being the sucker for metallics that I am, I’d probably have added some really thin metallic lines or curls of gold foil
Ooooo, metallic lines! What a great idea. The videos dont do the best job of showing everything... Sometimes it looks like things are covered completely when there are lots of hints still showing through.
This is so inspiring to watch. I love the effect of the shellac burn and the combination of the dry and wet burns together. what are you using to clean away the excess oil paint? All the layers create such depth in the piece. Very nice.
@@thefarpavilion awesome.. thanks for the help with the stamps ... I find they are very small and I noticed the one you were using in this video had a stamp on the back of it.. but too small to read.. I will take a look.. cheers :)
I use powders from earth pigments, but I've also used pearl ex powders. I honestly don't think there's a dry powder pigment you couldn't use. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any yet you couldn't use.
@@thefarpavilion Martha’s signature comment after one of her creations is ‘it’s a GOOD thing', so your idea of God saying 'and it was good' convinced me she was paraphrasing the Creator, since she is the domestic goddess. I may be overthinking again…
Thank you for doing these vid's! Just wondering if you find a change in the way the lines burn or how they spread or form cells once you add alcohol ink to the shellac? Does adding the flammable alcohol make it act different? Thanks!

Exactly. I'm always so nervous to share those thoughts, but you've given me courage to keep sharing. Thank you!!

That is the most awesome effect!!! Especially the wet burns
Wet burns are really cool. I love them!

I think you should totally add and it was good!

what are you using to clean away the excess oil paint? All the layers create such depth in the piece. Very nice.
I use linseed oil
I loved watching your creation of this piece - very inspirational.. can I please ask where you got the stamp from .. thanks :)
I get text stamps from wherever I can- the cursive one I found on Amazon, and the typeset stamp I got from creative embellishments.
@@thefarpavilion awesome.. thanks for the help with the stamps ... I find they are very small and I noticed the one you were using in this video had a stamp on the back of it.. but too small to read.. I will take a look.. cheers

I think the piece it’s perfect the way it is. No need to add anything else.
😁❤️❤️
Love this process, trying to learn. Btw, you might sound like Martha Stewart"s ‘it’s a good thing.'
I'm not sure what that means... But thank you!!

@@dyenahh oh, I see. Ok, that makes sense!
Thank you for doing these vid's!
Just wondering if you find a change in the way the lines burn or how they spread or form cells once you add alcohol ink to the shellac? Does adding the flammable alcohol make it act different?
Thanks!
The only time I've noticed a difference is when I add metallic colors. The glitter inside makes it burn a little differently.
Thanks. What did you use to clean off the oil paint.
Linseed oil
What pigment do you use in the shellac?
Most of the time, I use dry pigments from earth pigments. Sometimes I'll use alcohol inks, but only for some colors like green, yellow or brown.
What did you use to wipe off the excess paint with at the end of the video?
I always use linseed oil to wipe any excess oil paint.
What brand or kind of shellac do you use
I usually make my own with shellac flakes and denatured alcohol.
Womit wird die Farbe abgewischt?
I use linseed oil to wipe away the oil paint.
Is it clear shellac that you are using?
No, it's pale yellow before I add the pigments. I haven't yet discovered how to make shellac that is clear.
