I love your dialogue, it’s so cool to hear the artists decision making process, what they like and do not. Thank you for this interesting piece and thought provoking dialogue.
Love love love it & so glad you liked the video! I would describe this painting as “a richly textured semi-abstract landscape”. Why, when I do lots of marks as a resist, do they just look like too many marks, whereas for you they bend & weave & create light? 🤔 Love the scraping. I was thinking you’d need thicker consistency paint to have much impact, but those light transparent layers are gorgeous & I will definitely have to try that! Especially the very first steel blue-grey ones you did near the horizon. It immediately created a canyon, which turned into sandbank drop offs as you added the other colours, lines & layers. I must admit I nearly cried when you covered up that soft colour graduation near the end, but it’s still beautiful & interesting. And the desert green with the apricot & black at the front made up for it 😁 I loved those soft end marks you got when you first started scraping in the foreground (lol - sounds like you were excavating to find your painting!). I think they would make an amazing transition at the water’s edge of a big lake or reef-protected beach like where I live. Or even going from sand dunes onto mud flats. We get lots of little waves at our beach most of the time as the reef prevents big waves & you know how they sometimes create those rivulets in the sand as the tide goes out? That’s what that soft scraping kind of reminded me of - even in the dark black, like it turned up black sand. It will be interesting to try different types & widths of cardboard & maybe try bending it to create irregular ripples along a straight edge. I’m also going to have to force myself to eat some ice cream 🤭 to try plastic from the container as a flexible scraper. Although I have a feeling the absorbency of the cardboard is what gave it a lot of its magic. I also have a set of flexible silicon makeup “brushes” from AlieEx that were designed for applying mud packs. They’re not really brushes as they don’t have bristles, but they have different shapes, sizes & edges so might make some really interesting drag marks & lines. I bought them to try on my Gelli plate, but I’ll have to try directly on the paper too. Ugh. If only I didn’t have to work again tonight. Better go to sleep & hopefully dream of painting. Night night & happy creating 😃
Thanks Allison! Love the idea of bending and shaping the cardboard. I have some scalloped craft scissors that might be fun. 🤔 I think the key to the resist marks is to not overthink it and mark in many directions. So many ideas to try. We must get to work! 😍
Hello Trina, finished my breakfast tea with satisfaction…another great landscape with some more unique techniques. Love that cardboard deal! I need to try that…it mixes the colors well together with a transparency showing the different colors one on top of the other. Definitely something to try! This painting was very moody but lovely…it would define well a fall scene. Loved how the clouds turned out with the resist and under the clouds it does look like water. I love water in landscapes as I live on an island and water is a favorite thing to view. I wish you a lovely weekend and will tune in next week. God bless!
The resist would be perfect for water. Definitely try the cardboard swipes. So fun. I think next time I will use more paint with it too see that effect. Thanks for watching! 😍
This is the first time I have watched your TH-cam channel, and I have subscribed. I found what you said very helpful because you explained what you were doing-the process. You have a pleasant voice, and you were enjoyable to listen to.
so nice of you to offer I may in the not too distant future have a few questions. I don’t really know how to use TH-cam so I’m not sure where I would put my questions..
I love your landscape crisscrossed with your white oil pastel marks. I don't have any oil pastels, but I do have a white crayon I could try. Thanks for sharing!
Fascinating. I've not heard of using cardboard before or using oil pastels this way. I can totally see salt marshes and reed beds in ny future. Thank you!
Beautiful Trina! Love the scraping, and all the lines and textures/layers you built up. Great contrasts between the layers/strata of the various hills and land masses. Yes the blue and orange work so well together. Love that little punch of apricot at the end as well. Can't wait to see you use the scraping technique more. Living vicariously through your art! LOL! 🤩😍🤩
I have used paper plates on occasion, but cardboard is free! The happy surprises are the best….I am trying acrylic abstract for my latest adventure, but I love water color…
Your dialog is half the fun, I can hear your mind at work as the painting develops. Most of us don't employ the wax resist technique as much as we should. This is the first of your TH-cams that I've watched. Love the sound of your voice; it reminds me of - "Smooth Jazz"! Jazz & Watercolor, what more could you ask for! LoL!!!
🎨 Ever thought of using cardboard with watercolor? It’s a game-changer for adding texture and dimension to your art! Give it a try and let me know how it turns out!👇 Don’t forget to follow me for more creative mixed media ideas! 🖌✨
This is really beautiful. I save cardboard tags from clothing purchases, and paint with those. I haven’t tried the dragging technique. I have mostly made lines or applied paint straight from the tube with the cardboard tags. They come in all different sizes and thicknesses. I am going to try your method tonight.
@@MixedMediaArtByTrina those fake credit cards that come in junk mail are great too. I cut them up to scrape rocks and things a la Karen Rice. I just tried the scraping but it was on rough Shizen paper and it only worked a little. Also tried crayon resist and that didn’t show much at all. Did some scribbling with watercolor pencils and that helped it out. Next I will try cold press. I don’t have any hot press.
@@lisamessina5952 ooh, junk mailers would probably work. Finally as use for it. Haha! I haven’t had the best luck with the resist on textured paper. It’s not as crisp. Thanks for the tip! 😍
Hi I just found you! Love what you are doing and wondered about the oil pastel. I love the way you use the tool on the baking paper sheet. Do you just crayon the pastel onto the baking sheet?
Yes ma’am! I just scribble on the deli paper and use a palette knife or stylus to transfer. It’s a fun technique and a bit of a stress reliever when scribbling. Haha! Thanks for watching. 😍
Lov-er-ly video Trina, and a shout out to Alison for the cardboard tip. You could make so many lengths and shapes with it. More lovely burnt heather in the foreground 😉 and scratchy scraping to finish......thankyou Alioban ❤😊
I love the sky, using oil pastel was good idea. Then the water was cool but lost interest on the last area, at least until the end when I realised how good it looked. Bravo.
Loved this. New sub and wanted to leave some feedback in case you care: TH-cam has been suggesting your videos to me for weeks, but i have passed over them every time because the thumbnail font and exclamation points make the video seem very... in your face. Like the mass generated clickbait ai videos? I am NOT trying to be insulting! Quite the opposite! I finally decided to check one out before clicking the "dont recommend channel", and BOY am i glad i did! Your videos are such a contrast to what the thumbnail shouts. Your calm and positive approach to exploring art is something that will keep me coming back for more- and i will just ignore the thumbnails shouting at me!
Thanks for that feedback. It didn’t occur to me that it might be off putting. I will leave off the exclamation points and see what happens. Super happy you took a chance and watched. Have a great day. 😍
You could spray it with a fixative. Personally, I don’t seal my watercolors. If I put a mat over them when framing they seem to be fine. Thanks for watching! 😍
I'm sooo glad I clicked on your video, Trina. What a great technique, and your painting turned out beautiful! You have a great voice! I love how you describe your thought process while painting...Newly Subbed and looking forward to more of your videos!
My thumbnail pic, which you can see, is a painting I did on a card board box. I used to take sketch pad boxes out of dumpsters and seal them, then to paintings on them.
I love your art and the landscapes you create. I live in Western Canada and they remind me of the landscapes here. What is the inspiration of your paintings?
@@misiat7281 that’s so interesting. My work is mainly inspired by the landscapes here in Kansas. I take daily walks around the wetlands near my house and love the colors and textures of the Flint Hills. Thanks for watching. 😍
Great question. I haven’t found that it rubs off in my work. I’m using it in a thin layer so it cures/hardens rather quickly. I have tried removing it with a palette knife and couldn’t remove it from the paper. A thick layer of oil pastel will take longer to cure. Hope that helps. 😍
I'm so happy I found your channel, I am looking forward to going through all your videos and catching up! I love this piece so much, and really appreciate the tips and new ideas. And I had a 'lightbulb' moment with how you pronounced Arches.....I'd been pronouncing it like the architecture feature, rather than the French word that it is!! 🤦🏻♀ Sending love and inspiration from the UK ❤😊
Wow. First time seen your work-this is exciting. Beautiful because you know how to choose and limit your colors. And you go with the flow of what it gives you. I’m so inspired! Those pieces of deli paper that you use for lines, is that oil pastel? Or other mediums?

@@dawngrofvert5227 thank you very much! 😍
Fabulous. Love all the resist and cardboard marking. 🙌
Thanks so much! 😍
I loved the stylus and wax paper! I guess you could even rub that over dried sections of color and get colored marks?
You absolutely could do that. I sometimes use the flat part of a palette knife to make broader marks over the dried sections. Thanks for watching! 😍
Trina, it was mesmerizing and a joy to watch your creativity unfold! Thank you
