I watched how you started the canvases and now see you again paint on each. There is always more room for art but seeing the two different subjects, it was super enjoyable. Thanks again for sharing the process Lydia.
Everything about the kingfisher painting is magical......I've painted lots of them but at the end they look stiff, I'm going to order some acrylic inks and get to work on another, see if I can lighten up.... ta ta...💙🏴💙
Giveaway?? Oh...to be that lucky. I would be excited to be so lucky as to have the water you wash your brushes in. (Sorry...water with which you wash your brushes. 😉) Watching you brings sunshine to my soul. That's how I know you are f...ing good.
TH-cam thought I would like you... so it put this video in my feed. They were right; I binge watched all of your videos and subscribed. (What do you know?) I really love the kingfisher. Looking forward to future videos.
Loved seeing the whole process, between laying down the background, making and placing the collage paper, then painting the focal point. I can't paint worth crap - I'm living vicariously through your channel. Totally awesome!
I am in awe with your talent and very beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy your videos and insight. You truly are a unique artist 🎨😊
After seeing how many hoops you have to jump through to do a giveaway on TH-cam, I ended up not doing it on this platform. It would be far easier to have a giveaway on instagram, but as it would be for my TH-cam subscribers, that didn't make much sense either. I'm still trying to figure it out. So stay tuned. I have to read all the legal jargon and make sure I am following all the rules.☺
Thank you Tracy!!! I always love seeing "Hello from Canada" it makes me smile.😊 I may still be a really small channel, but I have some of the greatest supporters. I am truly grateful.😁💞🙏
The Patina is DEF a beautiful look in the blue MM collage. And Paynes Grey is one of my favorite colors in any palette. She is gorgeous!!! And I LOVE ❤ what you did with the bird. Those acrylic inks are incredible!!! I love how you can see the collage through all the beautiful colors. ❤ WOW. Such talent!! ~ Jan
Hi Pam! I usually use galkyd light, galkyd gel or paint grade safflower oil. The galkyds help it dry faster. Safflower oil dries faster than linseed oil. If I want it really thin, I use my thinner (Eco-house citrus thinner) it's nontoxic.😊
Wow Lydia they are both gorgeous, but being from sunny South Africa, I have a Kingfisher visiting us every year, your Kingfisher piece is my favourite 🙌🏻 Love all your work, these mixed mexia pieces are so rich 💕
Hi! I just discovered you while searching for abstract painting ideas on You Tube. I'm trying to loosen up my style a bit. I do super realistic paintings and drawings. I have a question about the paints you use. Do you ever use acrylic paint thinned with medium instead of oils for some of your top layers? I especially loved the bird painting.
Hi there! Thank you! I am so bad at terms. I honestly have no idea how that works. Is it in TH-cam studio? Is there something I need to check? I know it always says standard TH-cam license.
Hahahahaha... "under-taint" is my new favorite word! I love your videos and your art, thank you, Lydia!
These are so pretty. The statue one is hauntingly beautiful.💛

The Patina is DEF a beautiful look in the blue MM collage. And Paynes Grey is one of my favorite colors in any palette. She is gorgeous!!! And I LOVE ❤ what you did with the bird. Those acrylic inks are incredible!!! I love how you can see the collage through all the beautiful colors. ❤ WOW. Such talent!! ~ Jan
Thank you so much!!! Paynes grey is one of my favorites too! I'm so glad you like them!!!❤😊
Lydia, what do you use to make your oils transparent? Beautiful. Love the tutorials
Hi Pam! I usually use galkyd light, galkyd gel or paint grade safflower oil. The galkyds help it dry faster. Safflower oil dries faster than linseed oil. If I want it really thin, I use my thinner (Eco-house citrus thinner) it's nontoxic.😊
As much as I love all your work, and you personally, these two are terrific! You continue to excel and grow! Wow!
I'm so glad you like them!!! I do too! Thank you!❤
Oh how I wish that I could produce your amazing art. Fantastic.
Thank you Jan!!! ❤❤❤
Beautiful.

Those are so stunning. I love your work, I just found you and I'm so happy I love your talent and the colors you use blend so well.
Thank you Laurie! I'm so glad you're here!❤❤❤
Geniuses!!! The transparent ink and light paint touches really create a stunning look! 😃👍
Btw: Once your channel takes off sky’s the limit!
Thank you Stephanie!!! 😊😊😊
Wow Lydia they are both gorgeous, but being from sunny South Africa, I have a Kingfisher visiting us every year, your Kingfisher piece is my favourite 🙌🏻 Love all your work, these mixed mexia pieces are so rich 💕
Thank you Catherine!!! WOW... That is so cool! I've never seen one in person, but I've also never been to South Africa! They are beautiful birds. 😊
Beautiful work! First time I'm seeing it. Do you only work in oils?
do you have any online tutorials or paid classes? beautiful. I dont do mixed media but with guidance I would try this!
I like acrylic inks too high flows too😊
Both pieces are gorgeous! Love your channel you should have many more subscribers. It baffles me why you don’t. ❤🌹
Thank you Rose! I am truly blessed to have the supportive, genuine subscribers that I have. ❤❤❤
Good grief, those are both absolutely breathtaking.
Sidenote: would you happen to know the title of that background track??
Thank you!!! I will get back to you on the track. 😊 I have to re-watch the video.
Want to try the paper technique. Afraid I’ll get to that point and then not know what to add. Lol

I have a question about the paints you use. Do you ever use acrylic paint thinned with medium instead of oils for some of your top layers? I especially loved the bird painting.
Thank you! I do on occasion. In fact the video I'm releasing tomorrow is all acrylic.☺
@@lydiabroderick867 Thanks! I look forward to your new video!
