Sara, I’m an older beginner and have been watching several artist. But then I found your channel and am inspired! Gathering supplies and tools and beginning to experiment. Your art speaks to my soul.
You are my favorite fluid artist (and I follow many) & I’m so inspired by your work! I’m getting back into my fluid art after a 2 year break & I’m rusty. I’m going to try this technique! If I get anything a quarter as good as yours I’ll be thrilled! Your work is next level and stunning!
When I was young I watched Bob Ross’ painting program on PBS. It always seemed to be perfect and yet, he would add some “happy little trees” or a few more clouds or whatever and I would SCREAM at my TV screen- “NO! DON’T DO THAT - YOU WILL RUIN IT”. I have the same thoughts while watching your videos-- “DON’T DO THAT- YOU WILL RUIN IT!! But what you add makes it more stunning! Thank you for sharing your gift and expertise with us. Your work is extraordinary. And, as always, thank you for crediting the music/musicians .
What a cool thing to say, I remember watching Bob Ross as a kid as well! I think that’s funny, because I always wanted him to keep painting.😂 I totally get the analogy and really appreciate what you’re saying. It means a lot!
I'm always fascinated by your embellishments. You totally changed the feeling of the painting. From soft and ethereal to bold and aggressive. Amazing ❣
OH!! Sara 🤗🥰 This is exquisite and you have the intuitive touch. I am going to play in my space today, I need some art therapy 😂😂😂. Thank You Sara for sharing and being here. Namaste Love and Light to All 🕉🙏🏼🕉❤
Stunning!!! Watching you embellishing your beautiful painting to even more beautiful is such a pleasure that I has to watch it over and over. You are so creative Sara.❤
Love the colors! Really love watching your dry work! Application of dark, dramatic edgings combined w/ bright highlights...and COLOR as another highlight, hard lines and fuzzy softness gives great visual texture. Love it! ❤🌹
Wow, this one had an amazing journey from start to finish. I loved watching the dry transformation Sara, so much energy went into it and wow it shone through once finished. You’ll always be my absolute favourite fluid artist and, ‘Waiting for spring’ is a perfect example of why. Love it Sara. Love and light, always. Ann. 🙏🏻✨
This is one of your most fascinating pieces, Sara. It seems perfect for a gray day, kind of reminds me of the Chinese cairns, stones piled one atop another, to bring one into the present and feel peaceful. It has so much detail and I love those organic color combinations. I just had to order some Primary Elements - Chestnut Brown, Wine & Roses along with Heavenly Bamboo. I think I’ll try to work on dimension like you achieved here with the “pebbles”. That’s my name for ‘em anyway. Such a unique work of creativity. I love your art❣️
I love this so much! Thank you for your wonderful comments. I see exactly what you’re seeing, and it brings me so much joy. I hope you enjoy your primary elements, they’re really wonderful and thin paint like this because of the way they blend!
To me you painting is seriously magical haha. I love everything you do!!! Do you do private lessons in person? I would love to fly out and have a lesson/class with you.
Yes I do! I’m teaching live at FAE May 23 through the 25th! Book here; www.fluidartexperience.com I also offer one on one zoom classes that can be booked on my website; www.stmodernart.com/book-online If you have any questions you can reach me at info@stmodernart.com
Just realizing.. if you wanted private one on one in person, I would be open to that possibility. It might be more efficient to do a small group workshop.👍
Sara, I love your paintings. I love how the complex areas are most often surrounded by negative space so that we can enjoy the complexity even more. Have you ever taught on paint brushes? I would really like to hear about the variety and type that you use and why. I can only assume that others would also. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your art with us.
Your dry work is where the magic's at. I'm always in awe of how your embellishments transform your pieces. Really inspiring. When you began the dry work here, were you shading areas using paper towel? You always surprise me. ❤
I wish I could answer this complex question here, I think, possibly booking a class so we could go over the differences would be the most effective way. I also split up my videos in different playlists based on technique, that can help sort through things. Here are some videos that capture each technique pretty well.

Good question, the wet part took about two hours. I spent maybe three hours in one sitting doing the embellishing. I came back the next day and put a few final touches.😁💕
I keep wondering how you discriminate between a base paint and your pudding paints and the cloud paints.., please let me know the differences.. thank you.. just experimenting ad red a bit of direction In this!!
Okay I’m sorry but I had to rewatch this and pull over on the hwy and ask you this 🤪! The grey is used as a base? Then you poured your white pearl down after that?
@@SaraTaylor Thank you so much Sara! There are so many artists that unfortunately do not elaborate on their techniques. They want you to just take one of their classes. Unfortunately many are unable to afford to attend these courses (Me included). Then there is artist willing to help. These artists stand out to me! Your “Gold Moon” painting are seriously goals! Even though there is no pink (my upmost favorite color) in it I immediately fell in love. Louise McKay has been a Godsend to me. She never fails to amaze me with her unbiased opinions and help. I have literally so many buckets of slop paint from trying to accomplish pearl paintings. I tell myself each time I fail, “Never again!” Then I see one of your paintings and I become memorized by the outcome. At that moment I know I just have to try one more time! In everything in life I try to get defeated but the Pearl Technique has truly been a struggle for me. I had just left the doctor’s office with devastating news. I had been crying but knew I had a hour drive to get home. I had to somehow snap out of it. Then this video popped up on my phone. I immediately clicked on it. The peacefulness of your painting and technique took over me. It’s just truly something I just can’t explain. After watching the video the 3rd time back to back. I realized something. She used a different base color!? NO WAY, IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? The excitement and joy took over! I rushed home and started mixing up paint per Louise’s recent video. Then the fear of, “Is it the right consistency took over?!” So I immediately paused my intentions of making a painting. I shot a short video and sent it to Louise. Her reply made me laugh. She said, “Thinner, thinner!” God willing I will be back at it again today! Seeing artists that love what they do and are willing to help mishaps like myself truly means the world to me. All of us had our own struggles in life. Might it be finically, health, and or fear. Derrick made a comment on his short today that truly makes sense! Make art with your heart! (Something like that) That is one thing I e always done. I just need to work on my confidence! Sorry for the book but I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your response.

Love watching your instinct take over during your touchups. Turned out beautifully!
It's amazing to watch you how you transform the painting!

Very cool. Elyse Fournier-like almost. Love your brushwork with all the shading and highlights. Beautiful work sista!
Thank you so much 😀
Always in awe of you! Beautiful!

That’s such a great idea! I think I might do a digital course that will go more not brush work.💕
Loveeeeeee! You’re so talented! 💕
Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much! I did use a paper towel to blend things out a bit 😁
This is very different to your usual art. Do you ever torch the air bubbles?❤
Yes I do! With thin I don’t need to very often, but it does happen.
I’d like to know the difference between bloom paints. , puddle paints and your base paints! Please enlighten me me! I love your art!!

Asking if there a difference in the chemistry of each?
Love love your work !!,!,!,❤
My question is,,, do you do this in one sitting !?,? Or it’s over many many hours / days !?,?,
Good question, the wet part took about two hours. I spent maybe three hours in one sitting doing the embellishing. I came back the next day and put a few final touches.😁💕
Love this one! Your embellishment is so coool too 💕💕🐣
Thanks so much 😊
Can’t wait to see you in May!
@@SaraTaylor gonna be epic :) so glad I’ll be helping you. Kinda wish I was fulltime lol … already booked classs though … maybe next event ???
