- I start by randomly choosing a card from my newly published "Art Poetry" deck. The focus of this video was mostly on painting intuitive abstract watercolour backgrounds. Once the background are dry , that is a great opportunity for mark-making overtop with watersoluble and non watersoluble art supplies. I show some of my techniques that I love to use when I paint my Art Poetry style paintings.

I am a Watercolor novice just have started in the last four years. I do a lot of small greeting cards mostly floral, but I love the emotion you put into these little gems. Thank you for sharing.❤️
Thankyou so much
I love what you called it art poetry that is so fitting thank you. I need art in my life as well and I have been watching you for a while, but this really caught my eye. It’s beautiful.
Thanks Lisa
Glorious! Thank you so much, Allison. 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watercolor backgrounds? More like "Wonderful painting and information that abounds!" 👍
Thank you! That’s so kind!
I was thinking the same! Those aren’t backgrounds! They’re magnificent fine art paintings! ❤
Oh my gosh! I LOVE your style. I was just telling my husband that was going to copy artist to improve my skills….kind of like art school 30 years ago. I haven’t really practiced much in that time period. I will copy you, as you are a great. Looking to find my art voice again! Thank you so much for speaking to my heart!💕. Edit: I will TRY to copy your work 😄
I spent the evening enjoying your creativity, thank you very much for the beauty, inspiration, lightness and freedom!😍🙏🏻💫
My pleasure 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤dankeee wunderbar❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thankyou
Hello Allison! I love your videos❤️🙌🏻 your Art is FABULOUS!
Thank you so much!
I just pulled your card Remember your why ✨🫶I've been dipping back into watercolor and trying out your art poetry style. I love when the colors blend into each other. I've been catching up and enjoying your recent videos ✨
Wonderful! I often need to reflect back on that card myself. it’s so easy to get side tracked!
I have just discovered you and subscribed. I am really drawn to your style and process - you are very inspirational. I'm a newbie to watercolour but really looking forward to self expression through art. Love from Tasmania
Thankyou.! So excited to have you.
So inspiring!!!! From Russia with love!!!!
Thankyou
Lots of great info in this video! My first time viewing one of your videos.
Welcome aboard!
I love your inspiration. I originally wanted to do poetry with my art a long time ago and then fell by the way. Thank you for your video.❤🙏
Go for it! Thanks for your encouragement
I just got your video in my feed and I paint semi realistic pictures, however, I love your art as well. You describe it as abstract, I describe it as joyful!! It looks so joyful to me, and I am so happy that you came into my feed!!
Wow, thank you! I’m glad I came into your feed too! Thanks for taking the time to write.
Always looking forward for your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and your comment
I love your art! Your style resonates with me. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you so much!
Oh, Alison...so happy to have come across your lovely watercolor video. How beautiful & unique. You have inspired me since I haven't painted in quite some time.
Love abstract painting, and you have given me inspiration this evening. I will watch your videos. Thank you for your time in sharing your gorgeous paintings! 😘❤️🎨
Thank you so much! I appreciate you reaching out.
What a sensitive, kind soul you are! Canadians are thought to be very good humans. Congratulations on your art and beautiful art poetry cards.
Thank you so much!
Lovely creations. Thank you.🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Wow just found your video and absolutely love your artwork so free and fresh I love it. New subscriber here. Absolutely ready to dig in deeper with your videos. New to watercolor and love this so much. So inspiring.

Thank you so much 😀
@@allisondawrant very welcone
So many lovely ideas for repurposing practice pieces and I had never heard about sealing watercolour works!
Glad it was helpful!
Another wonderful video. We’re getting spoiled lately ;) The variety in everything you share really inspires my own creativity. I can only agree with all the other comments and compliments.
Just a few days ago I received your card deck. It arrived quite quickly in the Netherlands, but funny enough it took a while to cover the last 150 km to my house. But it did and I am very happy with it. So many cards with beautiful little artworks and messages that resonate with me. I’ve already drawn a few cards and they were very spot on.
Regularly hearing you talk about the deck also gives it more meaning to me unlike buying a random deck with no background information.
And thank you so much for the botanicals you added, I really appreciate that.
I still think it’s special that despite the enormous distance we can all connect with each other through videos and the mail. To have seen you paint the botanicals which I then receive in the mail.
So thank you again Allison for sharing your beautiful art and journey with us.
Thankyou for taking the time to write me and support me , Alice. I appreciate you. love to the Netherlands.
Bitte bleiben Sie gesund oder werden Sie es, ich höre ein bisschen Traurigkeit in Ihrer Stimme, sie sind eine wunderbare Künstlerin wunderbar, Kreativität ist die beste Therapie um zu entspannen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤danke
Thankyou
Gorgeous colors and style ❤ beautiful 🥰🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Wonderful learning video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, Allison, for this video. I relate to a variety of artistic styles, but rarely to the artist themself. All of your messages were ones I needed during a sleepless night. Fellow sensitive here ;)
Love and light to you💜
You are so welcome! Thanks for your encouragement Jeannine ❤️
Sister Allison your Art Poetry is a beautiful way to inspire Artists, art enthusiast congratulations sister your work resonate to one dear. Thank you for sharing your Art process. Lots of love dear🎉
Thank you so much 😀
@@allisondawrant🎉 Thank you kindly sis🥰
beautiful!
Thank you!
Arches is my favorite brand of paper. The price is worth it to me. That was how I felt until I tried the Baohong Professional! It is literally exactly the same! I won't completely switch because the Professional line doesn't come in large full sheets and I am a huge painter, but if it did..........You HAVE to try it! But it has to be the Professional Artist's grade, NOT the one that says ACADEMY! I see alot of TH-camrs doing the whole "Is Baohong like Arches" thing, but they bought the student grade which is no comparison at all of course, and it's frustrating!
Hi, thanks for sharing this useful info. I am not familiar with Baohong prof. But will check it out. It’s harder to get Arches here in Calgary, as I heard they were bought out by another company or something…
Allison, I’m so happy to have found you. Your art is beautifulll, it really inspires me. Thanyou so much
Thank you so much!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Such a magical video. I really resonated with your words of wisdom and appreciate you sharing your art journey and experience. I will continue my own art journey mindfully and confidently ❤❤❤
Thankyou so much
Lovely idea with the cards
Thank you! 😊
I’ve just got back to watercolor and learning to sketch. I’ve done a bit of mixed media but love how you are doing it with watercolor. Thank you for sharing your process it is all very inspirational and I see how it can be healing ❤
Thankyou
I couldn’t agree more about needing to paint - I’ve just had a break of a month to move House and it was so great to open my sketchbook again with a new view… Really enjoyed this video, and seeing your lovely work, thank you!
Thankyou so much, . Hope you settle soon in your new house.
Oh my Gosh! I exclaimed that outloud when you brought the painting off the wall to match the Art Poetry Deck card. The beauty and vibrancy of your original is stunning!! I love my Art Poetry Deck and hope you can, over time, show more of the originals. Of course they probably mostly sold long ago, love your works.
Thankyou so much - nice to see you on here.
First time viewer.
Nice artwork
*Why* _71_ cards? (Why _71_ )
Edit - *fantastic* - you use _shells_ as your _paint wells_ by adding the paint inside the shells. :)
Keep sharing
That was a WOW video, thank you so much, will follow you.
Thankyou
Nice ❤
Thanks
I was so excited to see you had a video out today! Looking forward to more of your painting. Enjoyed it all. Waiting on my Opera Pink by Danielle Smith to show up from Blick. Also the Japanese watercolors, Art Noveau to come in also. An early Mother's Day gift to me along with some other items from Blick. You sold me on those paints. The Opera Pink looks amazing. I love Helen Wells also and polka dots too. 😊
Wonderful! Thanks Madelyn
Fountain pens with permanent ink are very environmentally friendly
Just got one!
Omg! It's called art poetry. Words often come through me when I'm creating art and I write them on the back of my pieces. Love your style. I subscribed.
We are soul sisters thru art! Thanks for sharing and subscribing.
Well you have a new subscriber today - i love you style - and i can totally see how you are inspired by Laura Horn - i havent’ taken any of her classes yet - but i do love her videos and podcasts. Do you offer classes in Calgary? We travel to visit our kids in university and sometimes I’m looking for things to do when I’m there - so the guys can hang out together without me in their way! (I’m the step mom). I can’t wait to watch all of your videos and get to know more about what you share!
I’m opening a studio in the Fall and hope to offer classes. You can keep in the loop thru my website if you like.(newsletter )
Hi Allison, I’m fairly new to your channel and love the whimsical style and colours you choose. I’ve completed a set of oracle cards and worked out the artwork for the backs but getting them printed and packaged here is Brisbane, Australia is soooo expensive. At this rate, each set will have to be sold at $26 a pack and that’s just to cover the printing costs. Did you go through a publishing company or self publish?
Hi Kelly, I did both and tried 3 different company’s (sample decks). I have a local printer (one person), and also have worked with others. Still exploring best options as it is $. I took a great course through @alenahennessey and she shares her printer via the course. Not all local companies will publish a box to go with the deck… so you’d have to consider that too. For example- one Calgary print company said I could print on “postcards” (about $1-2 cad to print per card), but then I would need to publish and print my box separately and assemble myself. Lots to consider!
Just subscribe I love painting also 😊💗💜💚💖
Thankyou Alice
Great video, love the 4” small canvas, did you pre treat the canvas? Live your art!
Yes I did. I used Daniel smith absorbent ground in titanium white .
Do you have any classes or tutorials? Love your freedom of expression
Thankyou. I may do classes in future, but right now I’m solely sharing random inspiration here on my channel.
Very nice palettes. Are you using Stonegraund watercolour paints? The colours are so vibrant!
They are Stoneground Paint Co gouache .(silver tin).
And yes, some are @stonegroundpaintco watercolours too.
Also, I would become a patron if you have or are planning to have patreon.
Thankyou
If water soluble crayons , watercolors, etc. are used, do you need to seal with a fixative spray before the wax? Thanks.
Sometimes I do , but not always. I often experiment a bit …
I learned from you about mixing colors on the palette. Now some lighter pans have messy darker shades. Is there a way to clean that or just let it go?
I let it go.
Where did you get the wooden backed frame from?
Well those of us who ADHD. Or ADD we completely understand you. I feel you’re very organized. 😭, 30:57 30:58
Thankyou!
How can I purchase your deck?

I like the cards, but most of them missing value variety--light/dark
Have you thought of creating your own?
L'art parle de lui même, pas besoin d'explications.
I agree. Thanks for watching
