I'm so happy I found your channel - I just love love love your work - we have similar styles and thought processes for sure - enjoy learning from you as well. I love using metallic gold, silver, bronze and rose gold in every piece I do. I'm trying to discover what marks I like. I too love dots and lines and rainbows. I'm an owl lover though and haven't yet figured out how to add a small tiny owl silhouette to them as one of my signature "things" - yet anyway and My favorite color is purple so I use a lot of various purples in my work. LOL!! I am a newbie to watercolor. I've junk journaled and done collage for years. I love this particular painting - does anyone else see in the top left corner a person? Side-view, nose, open mouth like they are singing with their hair sweeping down like long bangs and the rest in a bun in the back of the head? Love the shapes watercolors make on their own.
I just started playing with watercolour and just love it. You are so inspiring. Just love, love your work and the colours you use as the sketching. Thank you so much. I’m 77 years old and this makes me feel when I was 8-9 years old. So much fun.
I liked the book "Steal Like and Artist" as well. Thanks for the tip about white markers for mark making. I have tried many and now I can stop my search and get more fun projects completed! 🙂
I have the same exact sweater!. I love your tutorials, you are an inspiration to my art process. It’s summer as I’m seeing this, so I’ll shout out to you this winter when I do a video in my sweater lol😊
I am really enjoying your videos. They have inspired me to broaden my use of media. I started with your watercolor videos and began experimenting with watercolors I have. The idea of adding paper collage is very appealing to me. I guess I will try that too.😀TFS.
I absolutely love your work. I've been looking for someone who write over top of watercolors so that I could figure out what instruments to use. Thanks😊 Feel better soon.
If ever you're looking for fine-line pens that can cope with writing over watercolour (or even acrylic), I can recommend a set of 6 Pigma Microns, which you can pick up most places selling art/graphics supplies. The nibs are a range of widths, so can be nice for mark-making. 😊
Oh I just love your style !This really appeals to how I want to paint. I've only discovered your video by pure chance, but I'm subscribing because I have so much to learn from you. Thank you so much.
Love your style and love that you are sharing it with us!!Thank you! I also would like for your next video to show all of the page as I felt that I was straining to see the top, I know that it can’t be easy but would be more fulfilling to us viewers. Please do more! I have just found you, and something really resonated with me!! Thank you again!💕💕💕
Well, I guess it's always a trade-off between taking us in close, or showing the full page at all times. I thought Allison did a good job of striking the balance tbh, and she regularly moved her page around depending on which area she was focusing on, so I did feel I got a sense of the whole page. I know what you mean though, about straining your neck to see something off-screen - I do that all the time! Our brain - specifically the visual cortex - plays tricks on us.😉
@@221b-Maker-Street it actually only bothers me when she is actually working on the part that’s off screen. I am sure she is trying and I don’t mean to imply anything else.
Just a suggestion. Can you please pan out some so we can see all of your work that you’re doing. I’m loving what you are doing, just wishing I could see everything you are doing. I love collage and this was so fun to watch. TFS. 😊
I love the gold Kuretake watercolours (Japanese brand that almost looks more like gauche (opaque watercolour). I also tend to mix with the Canadian brand "Stoneground Paint Co", gold watercolour in a pan. Hope that was the gold you meant?!
Maybe if you pulled the camera up a bit the full piece would be in view. This is an awesome piece and I would like to be able to see it all as it evolved.
I really like your art and I've watched several of your videos in the last couple of days. Since you sell your work, do you seal it with any product, like a spray? P.S. I can't find the continuation of this, to see how you proceeded with the watercolor.
You are doing fine. We love learning from you. So relax and just let your spirit flow. And you don’t always need to keep explaining….just let us watch your process. Slow down and stop talking so much. We’re listening with our eyes. Of course tell us about the supplies and what effect they have. But the constant chatter interrupts my absorption of your technique. I feel like I’ve had too much coffee. Chill. We love you.💕
I liked the gold Uniball pen & was surprised when I clicked "more" to not see a list of supplies used so I could get specifics on it to order. I'm new to your TH-cam posts -- do you not include those details, or am I missing something? Thanks.
I have only been on TH-cam for about a month , if that. i am new to all of this. The Uniball signo pen is one that I bought at a local art store here in Calgary Alberta Canada. It was around $5.96CAD. and I believe it’s a Japanese brand.
@@allisondawrant thanks for replying. I hope you enjoy youtubing! I always look for specifics to see what the artist recommends & why (paper weight & brand, what millimeter is too wide/too narrow for a nib, etc). I appreciate your following up!
@@timh7246 thanks Tim! I hope to do a supply video soon but I tend to use a LOT of different ones and I mix and match in my practice:) I am not sponsored by anyone/ any company- So, the video content is a bit random. thanks for the nudge on supply details... I was at the local art store yesterday, and I tried a few of the non-metallic colours in the Uniball Signo pen, and I much prefer the metallics (gold and bronze). Not sure of the mm in size... but the coloured pens seem to be more narrow and harder to see. (I use them for going over dried watercolour and acrylic paint).
@@allisondawrant Talking happily about the products you love and listing them with links may get the attention of these companies, then they can sponsor you! How exciting!!
Does anyone else see a silhouette of a women’s head in the top left? This is all so beautiful. I’m inspired to try.

that's awesome! Everyone was asking about my sweater and I had to rewatch some of the video to recall what I was wearing! haha.

Every detail is so clean and drawn perfectly
Thank you for sharing your intuitive process… beautiful!
thanks Angela
I love the juxtaposition of your color choices. Really love your composition too! 💕
Thank you so much!
Not wanting to copy was something I had to overcome. Because otherwise I would never have got started. I enjoyed your video very helpful 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Such a great video! Thank you ❤I love how you incorporate books into the videos ❤️

@@franlynch9428 thank you

I really enjoyed this thanks, I also love doing mark making, words and doodles on my watercolors.
Oh, wonderful! feel free to add any tips or insights in the comments anytime
I love your mark making on your beautiful water color painting. Thank you for sharing. Lovely work!
In « The big magic » Elisabeth Gilbert speaks also in a very nice way about « copying « other artists. Great jumper 😃. Merci 😊

I absolutely love your sweater!!! Any chance you may remember where you bought it?!
Thank you ! It was from Winner's , Calgary AB, Canada
@allisondawrant bummer! I'm in the US. But that is a beautiful sweater I absolutely love it!!!
This is so great!! Can you make a video on how you found marks you like making?
yes, there is one posted:)! thanks.
Oh so beautiful. I need the 2cd part of the video please lol
it’s posted on my channel:) thanks
Wow, how lovely. What is the gold paint that you used?
I love the gold Kuretake watercolours (Japanese brand that almost looks more like gauche (opaque watercolour). I also tend to mix with the Canadian brand "Stoneground Paint Co", gold watercolour in a pan. Hope that was the gold you meant?!

yes- great tip! I am still learning the ins and outs of videography and art . Hoping my videos are getting better each time!
Where is the sweater from?!?! LOVE!!!
thankyou! Winners in Canada
I came here to ask the same thing. It’s beautiful!
i had to rematch the video as i didn’t know my sweater made an appearance! haha
I really like your art and I've watched several of your videos in the last couple of days. Since you sell your work, do you seal it with any product, like a spray?
P.S. I can't find the continuation of this, to see how you proceeded with the watercolor.
yes, I seal my work with different types of products depending on my mixed media elements and substrate. thanks for watching- more videos to come.
Love the colors. Could you tell me the name of the watercolor pencils and where you purchased them please, Thank you.

How many pencils come in your Caren d'Ache pencil set?

Yes- never thought of it like that. Thanks for watching and sharing.
