Oh no! I'm so sorry you were stressed out, but I cannot say enough how much I LOVE this piece. It is so stunning and I completely love the layered composition. You inspire me so much to try something like this in the future! Oh, and the blue morphos and capybaras do overlap in their natural ranges, so they could actually meet! :D Thank you so much for joining us, and I hope you'll continue with us on this journey!

Do they really? That's amazing to know! It's definitely better to know a professional's opinion rather than reading random internet articles xD I'm so happy that you've invited me and I will do my best from now on as well
I was so excited when I hear you were going to be part of the animal artist collective! I knew you would come up with something awesome! I’m sorry to hear you were stressed, but I totally get that feeling. That always creeps up on you with something important, doesn’t it? But this is just so amazing! I love the layering! It really makes its own kind of world and draws you in!

I'm glad you understand! I didn't want the AAC down, so the pressure was high xD It's just one of those things we have to learn how to deal with. I'm very glad it all turned okay in the end :)
It sounds like once you got started the process of a looser piece was beneficial and fun for you mentally which is so great since you were stressed! Yay!

Yes! I'm not going to do anything "prim and proper" for a while. Perhaps I was a bit too strict to myself... without noticing.
I think the word you were looking for when talking about the wood was a knot? Maybe? On a completely different note, this was so beautiful, Anita! I loved the contrast between the blue and the brown, as well as how dimensional the piece is! Love it!

I looked it up after the recording and the word I was looking for was a "tree hollow". I've never used this word before, so I was thinking of something completely else at the time of the recording xD
I really like the ones where you cut things up and make them more 3d too! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the next collective and hopefully it's less stressful. I've also been trying to paint more loose and also have been using capybaras for that since november. They're soooooo adorable aren't they? They literally don't care about other animals cuddling them and just roll with everything like.. a sloth version of a giant bunny-hamster-otter. Have you seen them swim? Oh my goodness, its so adorable.
7 ปีที่แล้ว
Yes, I've seen them swim! Before I saw the videos I thought they were smaller too, but they are as big as a medium-sized dog! And I love their almond eyes >
It's amazingly comforting watching you put tiny pieces together into an absolutely charming and delightful peek into minikin yet significant Anita Gadzińska world.
This is so awesome! So beautiful!!! I love it, the blue butterflies and the very cute and fun little animals! And the background, so very nice colours! I am so glad to hear that you were feeling happy after doing this piece!!! That is great! Anita, you are creating pure magic and wonderful dreams. Thank you so much for sharing! And such a good cause, as well, saving the animals! : )

Aww, thank you for this delightful comment! I will try my best to paint only "happy" paintings from now on! No reason to stress so much after all :D
Hi. I think the word you were looking for is "hollow" - the hollow of a tree. This work of art is fantastic. At first, I didn't see your vision, but in the end it came together beautifully!
7 ปีที่แล้ว
Yes! That exactly! I looked it up after the recording and it was indeed a "hollow". Thank you so much for mentioning it! It's very hard to see the vision behind a layered piece, so I completely understand. I was doubting myself the whole time, but I tried to trust the sketch I've prepared beforehand :)
Wait, how do they appear blue without actually BEING blue?!?! That really does sound like magic! And I’m really so glad that you chose to just let yourself go and play...that’s when I’m most happy making my own art, which I think shows in the piece to the audience. If you’re happy and having fun while making something, I really think you can feel it. This came out so sweet, and I really love the way you layered everything. And I love the extra touches that you did, like adding the black inside the border. That’s so simple and so smart.

I should have mentioned more about it... I will do better next time >< So the wings appear blue because of tiny reflective scales in their wings, but are not actually blue. That's why the color may change slightly depending on the angle. MAGIC! xD I'm hoping that I can continue this "fun" approach because it's much healthier... and I agree with you, the viewer can definitely feel it. Thank you so much for watching!!
Anita Gadzińska woah, so the blue is basically just whatever color the sky is? Neat! Magic magic butterflies.
7 ปีที่แล้ว
It's something called structural color. I've read that the scales absorb all colors of the light except blue, which gets reflected, and that's why we can see the wings as being blue :D It's so cool!
I've always loved your storybook/whimsical style and I am blown away with how gorgeous this piece is! I loved hearing your passion for these animals and this project! I hope you won't feel too much pressure next time 💕 I also struggled with making my piece more realistic or using my favorite colors but went with my own style and I love what variety we have among the 4 of us especially since we all happen to be primarily watercolorists. I'm so excited to have even more variety in the group as we add members throughout the year! ^_^

I'm going to work on that whole "pressure" issue because it not only ruins the fun but also negatively impacts the paintings. I associate painting with stress and that makes me paint much less. At the same time, I still love painting, so it's a very frustrating feeling. I'm just glad that everything went fine and I didn't let the AAC down :D And I agree completely! We all have such different styles that it's a lot of fun watching it as a series.
I have placed this in my Valentine file, along with 2 good recipes - I have not done Art for 4 years, I've just moved and everything around me is settling in nicely. I know my Artwork will be Blessed and prolificate, never going to doubt myself again. Yes you are right Art should be Fun - Thank you dear, Happy St. Valentine's Day

Oooooh! Good luck and stay strong!! Happy Valentine's Day!!
I'm a new subbie drawn by the Animal Artists Collective. I love your whimsical themes. You are very talented and you make these paintings appear effortless and I know they aren't. I really loved the Moose with all the components that went with it.
I used to feed the critters, Odie the Groundhog, had an excellent appetite, he would start eating before I had filled all 3 bowls with shelled roasted peanuts, each day I know he will wonder where I went. I love this work, for it reminds me of him

Very original piece, and so cute!! This was a lot of fun to watch come together :)
Aww, thank you so much, Eve! I'm glad it's fun to watch. I'm already looking forward to the next piece!
I love how you explain your process while being completely relevant
I'm glad to hear that because I often feel that I ramble too much xD
Also, this type of illustration would make a wonderful children's book!
Thank you!!
It turned out so lovely! All of the elements really came together beautifully.
Once I started putting it all together, I let out a deep sigh of relief xD

Too cute!!! Love this piece Anita!!
Thank you very much!!
Lovely!!! Congrats on the first collective.
Thank you!! It was so refreshing and novel to work with other artists for such a good cause >

That's a fun technique and the piece turned out really cute! :)

This piece turned out beautiful, I love it. 💞💫
I'm happy to hear that you've liked it! Thank you for the support!
So beautiful!! So so so beautiful!
Awww, thank you very much!!
Gorgeous piece! You have a new sub.

wow this was so different and at the same time as beautiful as always
I'm glad you like it! Doing something different can be scary, but this was so satisfying >
I totally agree! So beautiful :)
The paint bleeds give a lot of texture, I think it's actually really cute!
It does, doesn't it? I'm just usually not the "bleeds" kind of girl. Back in the day everything had to be super flat, but I got bored with it xD
I LOVE this !!!!! Very beautifull !!!
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!

Hello Anita, new bub here :) I love this collective and wow, you really shone here, your creation is amazing. Love the layers (so much).
Yay! Welcome and thank you for the support!

Adorable Capybaras. :)
Awww, thank you for the kind words and welcome! I hope you will enjoy future videos as well
I love your videos!
Yay! I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for watching
Anita Gadzińska ❤️❤️
Amei a composição. Ficou muito lindo!
Muito obrigada! (I hope that's correct >
You could use distilled water so that you do not craze watercolor, I like your work, luck.
Very good design, but the butterflies are too blue, you need to tune them down a bit.
Очень милая иллюстрация.
Спасибо! (I love google translate!) :D
^__^
Guess What? I never knew what a Capybaras, is, I've done a search and now I know, I've seen Groundhogs they are a little larger
They are so cool! I used to think that they were small, because they are rodents, but they turned out to be quite large!
I used to feed the critters, Odie the Groundhog, had an excellent appetite, he would start eating before I had filled all 3 bowls with shelled roasted peanuts, each day I know he will wonder where I went. I love this work, for it reminds me of him
This is such a cute concept! And it is very different. Great work :)
