This is stunning. All my life I have battled with demons, depression and abuse. I was watching every stroke, every spot of paint and all I could think about were the amount of storms this tree (all trees for that matter) had faced, they’ve been battered and bruised by winds, rain and some are knocked down but as I look carefully and think about it, I’m like a tree. I’ve endured many storms in my lifetime but here I am, I’m wearing scars but like this tree, after everything, I’m still here, standing strong and more beautiful than ever. Thank You so much for sharing and for lifting me up today. 🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
I am glad to have inspired you. Thankyou for taking time to watch my video. More importantly, thankyou for sharing your thoughts with all of us. Stay Blessed. :)
Laura Filby I read this without at first seeing your name and lovely face, and thought that’s something I thought my fab FB friend Laura would say a low and behold it was indeed you. This is mesmerising isn’t it and beautiful. You are strong and beautiful and a very talented artist yourself and a blessing to all who know you even if like me it’s through social media you yourself uplift so many with your presence, it’s nice to see that this has brought you joy as it has me thanks Blackbeard for showing us your amazing process your art is stunning
I was going to simply write, this is beautiful. Until you asked at the end for us to share our thoughts and comments. So I will. This touched me in a way that’s hard to describe. Tonight I spent what I strongly feel will be my last Christmas Eve with my Mom and Dad. I’ve cared for them the past year and I’ve watched them grow old. And Gnarly. But this painting made me think of my Dad and his hands. How, one time they were young and picked me up and dusted me off. How they worked hard to provide for my Mom, my sister and I. How they started to age and still were strong. And now how they shake. How they are clean when once they only became clean after a week of vacation. He was a mechanic. But now he’s a shaky, thin man. He’s bent, but will always seem strong in my eyes and heart. I needed this I think tonight as I believe soon he’ll be moving on to a better place. It just hit me so very strongly tonight that I’ll have to learn to live without him for a while. And I’m grieving, although I can still at this moment touch his hands and hold him close. But thank you, for this beautiful painting. It looks strong, but we don’t know how long it will be with us. And it makes me grieve.
Thankyou for sharing your thoughts. I am glad my painting connected with you in a positive way and I am sure he will be moving on to a much better place. God bless you and your family. May he provide you with strength and courage. Merry Christmas.
I was so touched by reading what you wrote about your parents. They sound like wonderful people. I can appreciate how difficult it is watching those you love decline and grieving over what is being lost. In my own journey of caring for loved ones, I realized the depth of grief was because of the depth of love that was there and how blessed I was to have been loved so much and to be able to love back. Without that love, there would be no grief. Loving is its own reward both in what we receive and in becoming the kind of people who can love back. God loves your parents even more than you do and He's surrounding them with tender loving care and He's doing it through you. You are His blessing to them. May God encourage your heart as you stay the course and enjoy what you can with them each day. And know too, that you are never and will never be, out of His watchful care. He will give you what you need when you need it. May the Christ of Christmas bring His peace and even joy to you and your family.🌲
Vickie Keeton I don’t know u, but my prayers are going out to u Vickie. That tree really does stir up something in us. I can see how it makes u think if ur parents. They are the tree from which we came. I lost both my parent within 3 months of each other in the early 90s. They were both in the early 60s. And here I am now is my early 60s. Although this time of years brings sad memories, this artwork makes me smile and thank God for the joy of art, for gifts like this that brings joy to others all around the world! That let’s me know that God is here with us and in us. Be strong my sister and hug those parents! 😌 Thank you Blackbeard! ❤️
This was truly beautiful. Thank you. I remember my Mum doing this back in the 80's but instead of the glue she glued down different textures of string and fine rope to make the tree. Once dried she glued down aluminum foil over all of it, pressing it in to all the creases and nooks and crannies. Once that was dried she used boot polish to stain all the aluminum. It turned out so well. I was surprised at the results because my Mum was not really an artsie person. ♥
The first time I watched this .. I fell asleep .. NOT for any other reason than the music just totally relaxed me and away I went ! So .. a couple of days later when my Therapist came to do my Reflexology .. I played this again. I had the screen minimised so there wasn't a picture .. just the music. She asked me what it was .. so I showed her. We ended up watching the video all through ... and she LOVED this so much. So .. the day after what did I do? Yep .. I got all my craft stuff out .. ran out (well .. hobbled more than ran haha ) and bought any bits I didn't have .. and I made her one. She was absolutely over the moon. Thank you .. for the video .. the inspiration .. the music ... and for giving me reason to get off my backside and get back into crafting. I have MS .. and am in remission from Cancer at the moment .. so it felt absolutely wonderful to just forget everything for a while ... and create ! Thank You :)
What's you sweetheart! Sleep is so important in the recovery process. And it was wonderful that you are using art as part of your healing! Sending you love and light and the knowingness that you are in continual radiant health!
I stopped painting a couple years ago cause I just couldn't find any peace in it anymore. Recently started back drawing with colored pencil, but I have not been excited about any art.... Till this!! Thank you for exciting me about art again... Got all kinds of ideas now. Again, thank you. (68 YO man)
This idea was challenging but I have a dear friend who is a certified genealogist and I thought this would make a perfect addition to her office wall. I did add very light touches of gold near the tips of a few branches to represent great success in finding relatives. Her business is called Twisted Twigs and Gnarled Branches! Thus it was a very appropriate gift. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.
I've watched this several times now. The feelings it evokes in me-and obviously many others here-are powerful. I felt like *this is what art is supposed to do.* Art is *meant* to stir emotions and thought. The more powerful the feelings, the more powerful the art. I just want to thank you again for sharing this-and all your artwork-with us. You inspired me to try this myself... using a crappy little glue gun and some watercolor paper. Even with inferior tools, I still made something that made me smile... and want to create more things. Thank you.
Your trees possess so much life and emotion. The difference in the textures between the canvas and the glue is the perfect balance. I love artwork that makes you want to reach out and touch it. Tactile stimulation is very important for many.
It's been a very long time since creating any type of art touched my soul. This did profoundly. So many different thoughts and feelings - tears and smiles. Thank you.
When it comes to TH-cam, it always helps to remember that some people think downvoting a video is how they stop getting recommendations for videos like it. So there will always be a small percentage of downvotes on every video for that reason. There's really no excuse for those people not knowing about the proper way to do it. But there's nothing wrong with just not being interested in painting.
there will always be haters out there Connie, it's not that they don't like it, it's that they are jealous that they have no talent, or a creative bone in their body, it's like when someone tells me my paintings our NICE, nice, I can smell the jealousy a mile away. See that's when I know I have done something worth envying, so I go with that.. hahahaha
I saw this post when it was relatively new. 2 years later I decided to try the technique myself, from memory. It turned out ok, but I came back to watch again. There is always more paint, and I can see how I can improve my piece. Thank you for the inspiration!
I do 3D paper sculpture and not very well I might add. I was going to clean up my room and sell everything. But after watching your video it has given me courage to continue working on my craft. Others may not care for my work (family) but I do. You have given me back my courage. Thank you! Oh I will try making a tree of my own as well.
Patty Van Fleet don't ever give up your passion! whatever makes you happy, keep going with it. Doesn't matter what anyone thinks. Your inner peace and happiness is what should matter the most. ❤️ happy crafting
I, too, am inspired. I used to pencil sketch, and sculpt in clay, as well as in plaster. I've GOT to try this! Thank you for your beautiful upload, Based_On_Life.
I have to remind myself often that my art is for me. If someone else likes something I have made, I give it to them. The critique your family gives you is more indicative of their fear of others knowing what is inside of them. You are very brave indeed to show this on the outside. Keep up the good work!
I’ve just found your site, sad to see your last art creation was a year ago, yet I’m happy for the joyous craft you’ve shared. I hope you are still creating and well. Thank you for your sharing your gift … Australia.
Absolutley gorgeous! I'm in awe of your artistic abilities and this process. I don't believe I've ever watched an artist show such clear instructions before. Plus your complete list of everything that is needed is great. Thank you
I am moved beyond words too! I’ve never seen a piece of Art like this! I Honestly don’t have words to describe how Your Tree reminds me of Life’s Cycles. I am having the 8th. Straight day of top to bottom Fibromyalgia pains like I’ve not had before or for so many days. I’m feeling like this tree. Old & Gnarly, but no where near as beautiful. I have Canvases all prepared, a Glue Gun & Glue, Gold, water & Black & Green Paints. I feel horrible, yet I know I’ll feel better if I go start right now! I will not try to make a Tree like Yours ~ because THAT is YOUR Tree, but I thank You for sharing & how it made me feel. You are absolutely amazing! God Bless You for Your Ingenuity & Talent. 🙃💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Jeannie, I have terrible fibromyalgia too, with chronic fatigue and Lyme. Moringa capsules or powder in orange juice every morning and afternoon really help! As do Espom Salts baths, using a LOT of the salts: 1 or 2 lbs, not cups. Hot bath soak until the hot water runs out (or 20 - 30 minutes) and all the pain goes away. Along with watching inspiring videos like these. I might actually finally be able to sit up long enough to give this incredible technique a try! Can't wait, really. Hope you feel better soon!
Thank You Catherine!!!! I am So Sorry You have so much to deal with. I do the Epsom Salt Soaks too & will try the capsules. I live in Spring, Texas & the weather has been wet & cold (for Texas!) & I’m hoping the longevity & more intense -pains 24/7 are due to that. However, I think it’s likely just getting worse. Doctors only want to prescribe Lyrica & get me out the door. I’m refusing that, so far! I’ll try Your suggestions . What are You doing for the Fatigue? I have days (and DAYS!!!) that it’s an effort to tap-tap & even hold my cell. I did do this & as always, I get so focused, I’m well aware I’m hurting, but I am more able to accept it. I did a tree, but not like this ... AND way more gargoyled. Aaaand. I’m not CrAzY about it, but will definitely use this technique again 👍 Thank You so much for Sharing Your treatmentS for Your Fibromyalgia. I’m near my wits-end right this very moment. May God Bless You this New Year with kinder health Catherine.❤️🙏❤️
Jeannie Barcus You're not alone dear heart! I got hit with an awful flare two weeks ago! This creation gives me the opportunity to feel the emotions of life's setbacks, and the inspiration to create anew!
Jeannie Barcus you should check out the keto way of eating for your fibromyalgia, dr Berg and Dr Berry on youtube. No connection here, just a viewer and believer.
This painting reminds me of a childhood. Him and I would climb to the top of the tree hiding from his brother as we play hide and seek. We are still in contact however something personal happened that we don't speak as much anymore. I hope someday it would be like the good ol' days.
So beautiful! When I see trees, I think and feel of strength. I come from a creative family, weather it be painting, music, and crafting, we all need to feel blessed, this tree to me represents it all! I may do something like this for my dads 80th birthday, he has everything he wants/ needs, I feel he’d appreciate this, especially done by me! He’s made me so many amazing things, this would mean more, with putting time in, and the whole idea it represents. I could write a poem for him and place it on the back! Thank you for sharing such a neat and beautiful idea! You are an incredible artist.
Beautiful! I'm glad this moved up again in the TH-cam previews and I found it. I echo the comment, "How could anyone give this a thumbs down?" They must be crazy.
I have been looking for something different to use my creativeness, with your help I think I have just found it. Its so sad and beautifil at the same time. thank you
As I watched you create this hauntingly beautiful tree, tears streamed down my face. Although im not entirely sure why and im still sorting all the emotions I was feeling, but I wanted you to know that you inspired me and touch my soul in way that is a bit foreign but wonderful none the less. I aspire to touch someone with such emotion when they look at something I create. Thank you for renewing the fire to continue, as I had lost my inspiration, put down my paints and felt the loss of my creative outlet in all areas of my life. Thank you seems inadequate. May you always continue to inspire and touch others with your beautiful creations!
Your heart knows why this moved you to tears. I would encourage you to watch it again and keep a little paper and pen and write down your feelings your processing on a deep level. The tears won't dry Till There cried and who knows what a beautiful Secrets they may reveal.
c'est tellement beau....c'est touchant... on repense à des moments de notre vie.. pas toujours facile, mais comme cet arbre on est toujours debout. merci pour cette magnifique création
I had an awfully rough week. Tonight I sat in my room emotionally rustled and edgy. This video ...your art soothed me. I feel so relaxed and at peace. Thank you. I will being trying this technique sometime. Blessings!
I have always loved bare trees. There is something about them that is so appealing to me. There are many examples in my home. Can't get enough of them. I will paint one of these marvelous trees in the future.
Loved this video of hot glue Art!!! I honestly liked it when it was just gold and black, however i loved the transition of the other colors being added too. It brought so much life to the artwork. Thanks for sharing your wonderful and creative talents.
Stunning! I love them both - esp. the second one with the more simple colors and just a touch of red. I'm elderly and can no longer do the fine painting I did on my crafts and was looking for something to do and share with my grandkids. This is perfect!!! Thank you so much for sharing your technique and beautiful results!!!
I have four individual frames of the same size and have been looking for a design to paint that will connect them into one theme as they highlight the four seasons. This is going to work perfectly. The trunk will be split between the summer/fall frames as the antique silver moves into antique gold; and as the leaves move from deep emerald to rustic colors. Winter will feature bronze with sparkled white snow flurries around bare branches. Spring will be a brilliant silver-backed leaves with glints of water droplets and maybe some flower buds. Each picture may require a steampunk butterfly that moves through the pictures from worm/cocoon/wing stretch/flight away to warmer places. Thank you for posting.
Tami, I hope you can post a link here so we can see your finished work. It sounds wonderful! And perhaps you will put some up for sale for us to peruse!
Thank you for your kind support. . .as Blackbeard Art Studio inspired me. . .I'm happy my vision continued to inspire. We are all artists of the heart. @@CatherineSTodd
What can I say? I am so impressed by how you harness your obvious talents and create something so unusual so beautiful! using a multitude of skills and mediums. I felt how your tree was created, could fell the wind bending the branches, see the light filtering through in the gold lighted winter sunlight. I must try this and thank you for enthusing me.
I am going to try this when my arm is feeling better...pretty and unique! I am rediscovering my glue gun in fun ways like this. I bought a designer fashion necklace a while ago. The price on it was reduced because some of the faux gems were missing. I decided to place some drops of glue onto a sheet of paper. Once the glue dried, I used some scissors to cut the glue to match the shape of the missing gems. I then used nail polish as a paint to match the exact color I needed then placed the shapes inside the prongs and WHALA...thanks!
SumogritsforHazel How imaginative of you to create the missing gems with glue, nail polish, & paint! You are a like mind as I often create "something" out of "nothing"!
I am a DIY myself, I M always find and really neat things to to fix up and use around my home for something other than what it was intended for got to use your imagination sometimes. Kids today are losing that ability sadly because Of technology
At first I didn't think I was going to like the color choice ... But I did!!! I love trees now I know what to do with all those glue sticks my mom gave me!!!!
I love trees, and I was excited to watch you create a beautiful picture of a tree using hot glue as the "paint". I really loved the second tree that you showed on the video! It reminded me of an Oak tree, and I love oak trees a lot! Thanks for showing me a new way to "paint" a picture!! Cheers! ~Janet in Canada
The trees came out great! Ive never thought of using glue guns, I realise it's an old video but it was up on the list so I took a look, I'm glad I did, thank you for sharing, I might try a version of that myself, I liked number 3 tree the best. Cheers!
great work. next one -show glue gun technique with texture paste or texture paste without hot glue on a canvas . texture paste like falling leaves, ground ..... you tell.
Thank you for inspiring me! I lost my creativity after c.o. poisoning, and it is slowly returning, but after a year, still struggling. Your painting method, paired with my love of trees, will help me get the paints out much sooner.
This just popped up on TH-cam after watching something else, how fortunate for me! I absolutely love this. You literally took away the intimidation of trying something on canvas! It is beautiful and my gift for today, thank you!
Beautiful !!! Just like another comment I also had some nostalgic feelings watching it . I love to paint and take pictures of trees and birds . Love your piece of art .
This reminds of the art work done in the 1920’s my grandmother had works that looked somewhat the same using metals finished with a blend of the same colors. Your work took me back to when I admired it as a very young girl. Many thanks,
I love it I will make this for my family tree for my Judy bell gang 13grandkids 2great grandbabies the family bends but never breaks god bless you and your u tube !!!!!
I know this is an old video! Just came across it fantastic effect! Can't wait to try one myself. But will wait until I've got Christmas out of the way.😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like this and it looks similar to one I did years ago with Elmer's Glue. My process took much longer to execute because Elmer's takes many layers to build up to the depth of the glue gun glue. Your paintings really turned out lovely, I like ALL of them. Makes me think of Heath cliff's place on the Moor.
That's really nice ... it can spark off many ideas. I'm thinking a Christmas tree with presents ... lights ... or maybe candles like the old fashioned trees. Or, write out a poem. Many ideas ... thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas to you.

I was so touched by reading what you wrote about your parents. They sound like wonderful people. I can appreciate how difficult it is watching those you love decline and grieving over what is being lost. In my own journey of caring for loved ones, I realized the depth of grief was because of the depth of love that was there and how blessed I was to have been loved so much and to be able to love back.

He will give you what you need when you need it. May the Christ of Christmas bring His peace and even joy to you and your family.🌲
That is an amazingly beautiful thought that brought me to tears thinking of my own father.
I’ve been where you are. I wish you strength.

2.2k people need to get a life. This is gorgeous, incredibly creative and it was very generous of you to share your technique and art with us.
This idea was challenging but I have a dear friend who is a certified genealogist and I thought this would make a perfect addition to her office wall.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Sara

Don't Ever Give up.

The critique your family gives you is more indicative of their fear of others knowing what is inside of them. You are very brave indeed to show this on the outside.
Keep up the good work!
I love your art. Sometimes I put tour videos on just to listen to the relaxing music while I paint.

I will not try to make a Tree like Yours ~ because THAT is YOUR Tree, but I thank You for sharing & how it made me feel. You are absolutely amazing!
God Bless You for Your Ingenuity & Talent.
🙃💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thankyou for sharing your thoughts with us.
God bless you and may he help you find strength and courage. Happy Painting :)
Jeannie, I have terrible fibromyalgia too, with chronic fatigue and Lyme. Moringa capsules or powder in orange juice every morning and afternoon really help! As do Espom Salts baths, using a LOT of the salts: 1 or 2 lbs, not cups. Hot bath soak until the hot water runs out (or 20 - 30 minutes) and all the pain goes away. Along with watching inspiring videos like these.
I might actually finally be able to sit up long enough to give this incredible technique a try! Can't wait, really.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thank You Catherine!!!! I am So Sorry You have so much to deal with. I do the Epsom Salt Soaks too & will try the capsules. I live in Spring, Texas & the weather has been wet & cold (for Texas!) & I’m hoping the longevity & more intense -pains 24/7 are due to that.
However, I think it’s likely just getting worse. Doctors only want to prescribe Lyrica & get me out the door. I’m refusing that, so far! I’ll try Your suggestions . What are You doing for the Fatigue? I have days (and DAYS!!!) that it’s an effort to tap-tap & even hold my cell.
I did do this & as always, I get so focused, I’m well aware I’m hurting, but I am more able to accept it.
I did a tree, but not like this ... AND way more gargoyled. Aaaand. I’m not CrAzY about it, but will definitely use this technique again 👍
Thank You so much for Sharing Your treatmentS for Your Fibromyalgia. I’m near my wits-end right this very moment.
May God Bless You this New Year with kinder health Catherine.❤️🙏❤️
Jeannie Barcus You're not alone dear heart! I got hit with an awful flare two weeks ago! This creation gives me the opportunity to feel the emotions of life's setbacks, and the inspiration to create anew!
Jeannie Barcus you should check out the keto way of eating for your fibromyalgia, dr Berg and Dr Berry on youtube. No connection here, just a viewer and believer.
Stunning, thanku so much for sharing.
I can see this in a old old dark Forrest..
I'd love to walk under this tree and maybe sit awhile. 💜
Beautiful project. I really want to try it. Your directions made it clear enough for even a 70+ woman like me to do it. LOL Thank you.
This just now popped up in my feed. LOVE THIS !!!
Thank you so very much. I am so inspired.
Very clever and beautiful.
Thankyou so much :)
This painting reminds me of a childhood. Him and I would climb to the top of the tree hiding from his brother as we play hide and seek. We are still in contact however something personal happened that we don't speak as much anymore. I hope someday it would be like the good ol' days.
glue art! Huh! How creative! Lovely! Thank you.......
Wonderful -- thanks for sharing this!
Thankyou for watching :)
I like the antique look, and aging
So beautiful! When I see trees, I think and feel of strength. I come from a creative family, weather it be painting, music, and crafting, we all need to feel blessed, this tree to me represents it all! I may do something like this for my dads 80th birthday, he has everything he wants/ needs, I feel he’d appreciate this, especially done by me! He’s made me so many amazing things, this would mean more, with putting time in, and the whole idea it represents. I could write a poem for him and place it on the back! Thank you for sharing such a neat and beautiful idea! You are an incredible artist.
Beautiful! I'm glad this moved up again in the TH-cam previews and I found it. I echo the comment, "How could anyone give this a thumbs down?" They must be crazy.
Cindy Marlow Thumbs down is probably to the music. It’s annoying.
so beautiful,, and the music is lovely... I love the no talking.
So agree with you..the music really hit a lovely place in me. Brought it all together.
I have been looking for something different to use my creativeness, with your help I think I have just found it. Its so sad and beautifil at the same time. thank you
Yes! The guitar. Felt depressed yet hopeful. Loved it.
You are poetic.Magnificently done.An inspiration for anyone viewing.Thanks 4 sharing.
This absolutely stunning work just amazing the way it turned out....great job..
Absolutely beautiful and they fit together so well
Thankyou :)
I like that you said the more crooked the tree the more character it has I thought of my crazy family and actually had to smile 😁
Beautiful results...
just freakin BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Je trouve ce que vous faites tellement spécial et original Merci de nous montrer ces techniques différentes ❤😅
One word... INSPIRATIONAL. Thank you!
As I watched you create this hauntingly beautiful tree, tears streamed down my face. Although im not entirely sure why and im still sorting all the emotions I was feeling, but I wanted you to know that you inspired me and touch my soul in way that is a bit foreign but wonderful none the less. I aspire to touch someone with such emotion when they look at something I create. Thank you for renewing the fire to continue, as I had lost my inspiration, put down my paints and felt the loss of my creative outlet in all areas of my life. Thank you seems inadequate. May you always continue to inspire and touch others with your beautiful creations!
I absolutely love it I love trees and such a great idea with hot glue I get will try this,thank you
Your heart knows why this moved you to tears. I would encourage you to watch it again and keep a little paper and pen and write down your feelings your processing on a deep level. The tears won't dry Till There cried and who knows what a beautiful Secrets they may reveal.
That is what art is supposed to do...move you.💜💜💜
c'est tellement beau....c'est touchant... on repense à des moments de notre vie.. pas toujours facile, mais comme cet arbre on est toujours debout. merci pour cette magnifique création
I had an awfully rough week. Tonight I sat in my room emotionally rustled and edgy. This video ...your art soothed me. I feel so relaxed and at peace. Thank you. I will being trying this technique sometime. Blessings!
I truly appreciate this technique. I was not sure at a few points. You amazed me. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thankyou :)
Art is always messy. Sometime it turns out great, other time, we just start all over again. :) Thankyou again for your support :)
OH MUCHAS GRACIAS HA QUEDADO HERMOSO GRACIAS AMIGO. BENDICIONES INFINITAS PARA TI GRAICAS Y SALUDOS AMIGUITO
ABSOULTY BEAUTIFUL...💕
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing.
I love this technique. I have an obsession for trees that have lived and are now skeletons lets say. They have a certain character about them.
I have always loved bare trees. There is something about them that is so appealing to me. There are many examples in my home. Can't get enough of them. I will paint one of these marvelous trees in the future.
Very nice and beautiful👏👏👏
Thankyou for watching :)
Really beautiful thank you for sharing
This is beautiful. Thank you!
This is fantastic. I can't wait to try this. I'll have to learn what color combinations to try.
Beautiful ! Merveilleux ! Merci !
Loved this video of hot glue Art!!! I honestly liked it when it was just gold and black, however i loved the transition of the other colors being added too. It brought so much life to the artwork. Thanks for sharing your wonderful and creative talents.
Thankyou for watching. I appreciate your thoughts on it. Happy Painting :)
I liked the gold & black as well!
Stunning! I love them both - esp. the second one with the more simple colors and just a touch of red. I'm elderly and can no longer do the fine painting I did on my crafts and was looking for something to do and share with my grandkids. This is perfect!!! Thank you so much for sharing your technique and beautiful results!!!
Es pintura acrilica?
stunning. Thank you for sharing
This continues to be my most watched and enjoyed video on all of TH-cam!!! Thanks so much for bringing the artist out in many of us!!!💜❤💜❤
fantastic!
Thanks!
Very unique and peaceful to watch. Thanks for showing us!
This is beautiful... You’re an amazing artist. God Bless You!
Thankyu. God Bless you too :)
Wooow amazing work you very intelligent person excellent art work 3 of them excellent beautiful wonderful
I simply Love this technique.. simple and beautiful. Can't wait to try this
This is awesome!
Thankyou, I am glad that you enjoyed :):)
I have four individual frames of the same size and have been looking for a design to paint that will connect them into one theme as they highlight the four seasons. This is going to work perfectly. The trunk will be split between the summer/fall frames as the antique silver moves into antique gold; and as the leaves move from deep emerald to rustic colors. Winter will feature bronze with sparkled white snow flurries around bare branches. Spring will be a brilliant silver-backed leaves with glints of water droplets and maybe some flower buds. Each picture may require a steampunk butterfly that moves through the pictures from worm/cocoon/wing stretch/flight away to warmer places. Thank you for posting.
Its going to be beautiful, I am sure :)
Neat idea.
Tami, I hope you can post a link here so we can see your finished work. It sounds wonderful! And perhaps you will put some up for sale for us to peruse!
Thank you for your kind support. . .as Blackbeard Art Studio inspired me. . .I'm happy my vision continued to inspire. We are all artists of the heart. @@CatherineSTodd
@@tamigreever6852 Please share the final product when it's complete!! I would love to see!
They look like veins on a body builder! Artsybeautiful
What can I say? I am so impressed by how you harness your obvious talents and create something so unusual so beautiful! using a multitude of skills and mediums. I felt how your tree was created, could fell the wind bending the branches, see the light filtering through in the gold lighted winter sunlight. I must try this and thank you for enthusing me.
Thanks for this demonstration. I tried it and I am really pleased with the results. Cheers
Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing
I am going to try this when my arm is feeling better...pretty and unique! I am rediscovering my glue gun in fun ways like this. I bought a designer fashion necklace a while ago. The price on it was reduced because some of the faux gems were missing. I decided to place some drops of glue onto a sheet of paper. Once the glue dried, I used some scissors to cut the glue to match the shape of the missing gems. I then used nail polish as a paint to match the exact color I needed then placed the shapes inside the prongs and WHALA...thanks!
I want to first learn properly water colouring of landscape on Art paper
SumogritsforHazel How imaginative of you to create the missing gems with glue, nail polish, & paint! You are a like mind as I often create "something" out of "nothing"!
I am a DIY myself, I M always find and really neat things to to fix up and use around my home for something other than what it was intended for got to use your imagination sometimes. Kids today are losing that ability sadly because Of technology
Hi
Awesome idea 😀 Thanks.
Nice work my friend...
Thankyou :)
Beautiful work. Thanks for showing, and explaining your technique.
At first I didn't think I was going to like the color choice ... But I did!!! I love trees now I know what to do with all those glue sticks my mom gave me!!!!
I love trees, and I was excited to watch you create a beautiful picture of a tree using hot glue as the "paint". I really loved the second tree that you showed on the video! It reminded me of an Oak tree, and I love oak trees a lot! Thanks for showing me a new way to "paint" a picture!! Cheers! ~Janet in Canada
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!
The trees came out great! Ive never thought of using glue guns, I realise it's an old video but it was up on the list so I took a look, I'm glad I did, thank you for sharing, I might try a version of that myself, I liked number 3 tree the best. Cheers!
Thankyou. Happy Painting :)
Blackbeard Art Studio cheers!
great work. next one -show glue gun technique with texture paste or texture paste without hot glue on a canvas . texture paste like falling leaves, ground ..... you tell.
Thanks for watching. Sure will share it someday.
VERY BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE
this is an incredibly inspiring channel, thank you
potato pegasus, Thankyou, I hope I can continue to inspire you with my future contents....😁😁
Thank you for inspiring me! I lost my creativity after c.o. poisoning, and it is slowly returning, but after a year, still struggling. Your painting method, paired with my love of trees, will help me get the paints out much sooner.
God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙌
QUE MARAVILLOSA TECNICA , DESDE CALI COLOMBIA , GRACIAS
This just popped up on TH-cam after watching something else, how fortunate for me! I absolutely love this. You literally took away the intimidation of trying something on canvas! It is beautiful and my gift for today, thank you!
I love trees and this video has inspired me to try this method, thanks for your precious time in sharing this beauty.
C’est tout simplement incroyable et tellement beau. J’adore,!!!
Beautiful !!! Just like another comment I also had some nostalgic feelings watching it . I love to paint and take pictures of trees and birds . Love your piece of art .
We in SAFica in lock down ‘. Now I will just have to wait till all over safe again Stay safe to all xxx love what you are teaching me
You too. Thank you
From everyone 😀🙌🙌
Those paintings took my breath away. Thank you for sharing your art. You're an inspiration.
Awesome. I'm gonna try😁
Thankyou. Good luck :)
This reminds of the art work done in the 1920’s my grandmother had works that looked somewhat the same using metals finished with a blend of the same colors. Your work took me back to when I admired it as a very young girl. Many thanks,
Awwww ❤❤❤☺
That's just beautiful thank you! And thanks for the peaceful music instead of some commercial sounding crap
I love it I will make this for my family tree for my Judy bell gang 13grandkids 2great grandbabies the family bends but never breaks god bless you and your u tube !!!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. God Bless. :)
I know this is an old video! Just came across it fantastic effect! Can't wait to try one myself. But will wait until I've got Christmas out of the way.😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thankyou. Good luck Hope you make great Art. :)
I did the the very day I watched this video. My husband and friends thought it was beautiful. It was a lot of fun and very satisfying to do that.
@@w456789w Are you an artist, or was this the first time you tried something like this?
Beautiful. I can’t wait to try this. Thank you
Awesome video! Learned something too! Keep it up!
Thankyou :)
I like this and it looks similar to one I did years ago with Elmer's Glue. My process took much longer to execute because Elmer's takes many layers to build up to the depth of the glue gun glue. Your paintings really turned out lovely, I like ALL of them. Makes me think of Heath cliff's place on the Moor.
Thankyou. I agree. Elmer's glue does take more time for texture buildup.
I used to love drawing trees... I've not tried to draw for 30 yrs.. but I mite give it a go x
This is unbelievably creative ! Many thanks for sharing , it looks really beautiful
Thankyou for watching :)
That's really nice ... it can spark off many ideas. I'm thinking a Christmas tree with presents ... lights ... or maybe candles like the old fashioned trees. Or, write out a poem. Many ideas ... thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas to you.
Thankyou for watching. Those are amazing ideas. Merry Christmas to you :)
Simple but very creative and impressive.
