    I've been trying to oil paint and learn final cut pro X, although not at the same time! Are you learning any new skills at the moment which is pushing you out of your comfort zone? Or, maybe you just feel out of your comfort zone??? Let me know, down below. Xx

      Tip for FCP - Shift+b is your best friend. It's the cut shortcut. Just place your cursor and cut. So speedy!

    I've just found you! What a gem you are.
    I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos.
    You are wonderfully authentic...I think transparency is everything. So many people hide behind a facade of what they think they should be portraying. Thank you for offering something real.
    I have so many things I want to ask you but I'm actually going to watch a few videos as the answers might be there 🙂
    Nice music too!
    Blessings. Xx

    Hi. I am so grateful for you. You talk about people encouraging you and supporting you but you bring such positivity to everyone. Your art is so beautiful and your content is very inspirational. Especially during this time. Thank you for being the spiritual light in our lives. I have been feeling down and unable to get going after the really difficult time that I have had in this past year, loss of relations to Covid, and feeling low myself from being unable to meet family members. Listening to you has helped me get through this time. I'm not out off the woods yet but I'm grateful for the light you have brought into my life, so thanks. By the way I really like your scarf where could I get something similar, it's gorgeous? Keep up the positivity and inspirational spirit you help people like me get through our days. Sending you lots of love and hugs 🤗 😘

    Wendy, I’m always buying things and thinking “you’re no pro, that’s too nice for you to mess up”, but lately I’ve been pulling out things (papers, pencils, etc.) because you have given me the encouragement I need. Don’t get me wrong--I’m no Wendy (and never will be), but finding you has given me so much hope and inspiration! Thanks! Love the walks and seeing the lovely place you live!

    Hello, The Unexpected Gypsy, I’m new to your channel as of this evening and I’ve watched quite a few of your videos already, I love them. I really appreciate you talking about the creative process, the way it ebbs and flows.. and not to be too hard on ourselves. I think that’s very true and such an important thing to remember, I always try to be a robot woman but that’s not actually who I really am! So it’s great to be reminded. Through your channel and a few others, I have picked up paints and paper for the first time in maybe fifteen years! I’ve just been exhausting myself in academic, not honouring the creative process (and of course, all that writing IS actually artistic in its own way) and becoming dull and morose. Well, I’m trying to fix that now and find a balance and your videos are all part of my therapy. So, thank you! Xxx

  • @elisabethseeger5837
    @elisabethseeger5837 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don’t worry - oil painting is fun- I struggled in the very beginning after being a watercolorist- you just vary the color to make it interesting and you can ALWAYS paint over bits you don’t like. Easiest to start with something with variety of color but not crazy complicated. Very forgiving medium but new skills are - well - new. Enjoy. Thanks for a great channel - I like the TLC .

I try to learn something new every day and try to do a new project that stretches my boundaries but not maybe as much as I should. Thank you for being so authentic and sweet; so refreshing!

    Thank you and keep playing! Your videos have inspired me to write in my journal again... I write alongside you. It's so comforting. I have even started to drink more tea, less coffee, and sometimes a sip of wine between sips of coffee, ;) Love it all. So happy you are here!

    Dear Wendy: It's so lovely having all this content (earlier videos) that I haven't seen simply because I discovered you and your channel later. I don't watch them in a particular order. This one came as the next suggestion from TH-cam. Others I've chosen perhaps because something in the title drew my attention; others followiing a thread like your moving out of the first studio, and I want to see how it all went. I've seen many but still have loads of happy, soothing hours of unseen footage, filled with all kinds of emotions but above all, the authentic you! Priceless.. Thank you.

  • @elliscrow4556

    I stumbled into junk journals over lockdown and then mixed media and you! I cross stitch, embroider, I knit and want to learn to crochet this winter. I’m quite an introvert and that’s the opposite of how I was when I was younger. Lockdown suited me!
    I would love a studio like yours. I would love to work large and I’m limited by where I work. That’s a very small complaint.
    You are such an inspiration. I’m looking forward to learning a great deal from your videos as time goes on. And buy a painting at some point when my bank balance looks slightly healthier!
    Lots of healing hugs. Be well. xxx

    I have some old sketchbooks left over from my Uni days in the 90's, you know the black hard cover books with white pages. I just ordered some matte gel medium and decoupage and some lovely vintage floral and birds decoupage paper. You have inspired me to start art journaling. I am going to use brown paper grocery bags etc to re do the covers, get out my stamps and inks and acrylic paints. I studied painting and drawing the human figure but went to massage therapy school and got into body work and now I do distance healing and intuitive angel readings. I am definitely looking forward to more of your channel, Wendy. Thanks for the inspiration.! x. (sent request to join the FB group.)

    I have been pushing myself regarding my knitting to learn more. I have been playing it very safe with what I know. I am also trying new types of wood. I am now knitting a shawl with a hemp/Peruvian wool blend and combined that with a strand of mohair. I am very pleased with the outcome. I have also purchased some organic wool to make a sweater. I have also lately been teaching myself a bit of Norwegian knitting. I am learning to be patient and not to worry about staring over 4 or 5 times if needed. It is the process of learning isn’t it.

    I enjoy your channel tremendously. Your paintings and journals are interesting. I like that they take you ages to complete, and that you manage to accomplish a great deal of finished work, despite ‘Wendy Waffling” from time to time. I haven’t heard anyone else called a Chatterbox. That’s what my mom calls me sometimes. A little introverted, a little extroverted -I get it. Me too! There are so many things you said in this vlog that resonate with me. To be honest, if you happen to make a chatty vlog that’s an hour or more long, that’s alright with me. I learn from you, but also find your way of speaking incredibly relaxing. As one who also sometimes struggles to get enough sleep, you voice has the ability to lull me into a deep, restorative sleep, and I awaken refreshed and full of creative ideas to keep me going. By the way, your son-in-law’s voice is also excellent. A beautiful song. Please pass along my gratitude to him for allowing you to share it here. Cheers to you and your loved ones. I’m grateful, in some ways, for the changes we’ve all been through these past couple of years - if not for those hard times, you might not have ever shown up in a suggested video, and I might not have ever been so inspired as I am by you and all you do. If you’re ever across the pond near Las Vegas, I’d love to meet you and show you our Art District. 🎨🖌

I like your waffling :) It's so funny that you brought up the Final Cut Pro .I'm feeling the itch to transition to a different editor now as well .I'm outgrowing IMovie eventhough I'm so grateful that there was a free program to learn on. I'm thinking I will try Adobe Premiere in the hopes that the platform is similar in layout to the other Adobe products that I'm use to. I LOVED your hand warmers .Did you make those? Hope you have a lovely weekend and can't wait to see your next video.

We’ll have to let each other know how we get on... I didn’t make my mittens, they are hand knitted by a local lady who spins, dyes using natural dyes and then knits from silk and Marino wools. I got given them by her and because I have renauds disease I get numb fingers and these really help. Maybe we could crochet some??? Play some hooky over on your channel?

    Hey Wendy, lovely sketch after Lautrec. I had perimenopause, so I commiserate w you on those "not feeling so good, needing to work from bed and rest" days. Grateful you vlogged anyway. Dunno if I have any utterly unused art supplies at this point, other than a pad of scrapbooking paper in blue prints after that blue and white everyday china print theme, but it's prob time to lay in a supply of fresh fine art and beading things. Looking forward to your next vlog. Bright blessings.

    Another lovely video, I enjoyed it a lot. I am using Adobe Premiere Elements for editing my videos and it has been fun to learn it. I feel doing videos is moving out of my comfort zone already, but now it is time to show my face actually on video even though I feel very nervous about that as I am older and rather rotund (putting it politely)! I hope you are feeling better soon and happy full moon Samhain to you too!

    I bought the Windsor & Newton waterbased oils and I love them. I can't use thinners etc because I'm asthmatic, so being able to clean up with water and thin with regular olive oil is a godsend. Jackson's have them at a very reasonable price when they do W&N promotions

    Hi there! I am delighted to see you shifted your energy despite not feeling well in your body. I have a question about the two table easels I see in your studio at the beginning of the video. I paint in a studio in my apartment and am trying to set something up for larger canvasses. I haven't seen table easels like that before. They seem really structurally sound and functional. Could you tell me about them specifically what you like and what you'd change, given the ability to design. Sorry, i guess that's a bit much. AND while i was typing i almost missed the beautiful walk at the end

    • @theunexpectedgypsy
      @theunexpectedgypsy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi 🌷🌷thank you for watching. Re the easels, they are both old, but one might still have the name on it so I will look on Monday when I’m next in the studio. One is better as it’s sturdier. But they work great 👍

    • @treemerryweather
      @treemerryweather 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@theunexpectedgypsy Thank you for that!! At the moment i'm planning to work on a board with a lip supported on two stools in front of a tall shelving unit. Theoretically, it is fully functional, breaks down easily when not in use and I think i can lower it by replacing the stools with 6 inch risers for the rare big substrate.

    • @theunexpectedgypsy
      @theunexpectedgypsy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think, whatever works for you is perfect. Yes, easels are great but tbh, mostly I work small on a desk or I have a wall set up as my ‘easel’ and paint my bigger pieces there. It’s down to what’s comfy for me!! Taurus moon!! I like the sound of your improvised set up 👌👌👌

    Hi Wendy, I really enjoyed this weeks video, I like the talking to the camera, you are so natural. I also love the music on your videos. Its really impressive that you are so good in such a short time. I wanted to ask you about patreon, I was thinking of using it to have classes but my fallowing is still small, should I just wait until it grows or start recording the classes? You have a larger fallowing than me but its still small enough to what I think it will be in time. I really value your opinion on this. Thanks for the lovely videos I love them.
    I cant beleave you were making those nice videos on windows iplayer, I was using that for ages when I started but it is a great program to start with final cut pro can be intimidating if you have never edited a video.
    You asked what we were struggling to learn, I am still learning how to joggle my 3 part time jobs and building an art business. I am struggling with all the technology to build a on line art business and still find time to actually make art. I also struggle with making art in my room and now my partner is moving in so finding a spot to record videos and make art might be a challenge but people do it so I can to. I love it so much I know if I can pull it off it will be a job I will be happy to do for the rest of my life and living with my partner. what is better than that, nothing for me. Have a great weekend. Karol
