15 - Geologic Abstract Art | Intuitive Creative Process Using Watercolors and Mixed Media
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2023
- Interestingly enough, the last time I painted a geologic abstract, I had also just come back from vacation! I guess my body always intuitively knows how to get me back on track creatively. I'm starting my video today by going over a few things regarding comments and connecting with each other, then I move on to explaining how I was inspired to create my painting and at the end of my video, I am sharing some pictures from my vacation. It's good to be home! Well, at least for a short time, haha! Our move happens next week! :)

Hi from Canada, You are such a delightful, kind, bubbly person and you explain the painting process so well. I have a group of friends who come to my home and we paint together (sometimes craft), chat, and eat delicious food that everyone contributes. So nice to have some peaceful, creative time together.
Comments like this one bring me so much joy!! 🥰 I’m so happy you’re getting together with friends (and me ☺️) to paint!! Thank you for your kind words and thank you all so much for making room not only to create artwork together but also this loving and joyful energy you all put out in the world ❤️💕❤️ Lots of love and great big virtual love is being sent to all of you in 🇨🇦💕🤗
I just found your channel at a transitional point in my painting. Born and raised in Wisconsin I loved the outdoors and all that nature has to offer. We ended up,in New Orleans where the art shows feature alligators, French quarter stuff, fish, magnolias etc. Your videos have greatly inspired me not to quit. But to return to what I love and to paint regardless of comments from others. Thank you so much
Yes!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I love this so much!! Let’s paint for ourselves first and foremost! Because when we do what we love, we are the best version of ourselves 🥰 It looks like you have so much to inspire you all around you ❤️ happy creating and thank you for making the time to share your kindness with me 🤗
Best of luck to you! ❤🙏
HI, THE FIRST TIME I SEE YOUR VIDEO I LOVE YOUR WORK, MARIA
Hello Maria ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words! It's lovely to connect with you and I appreciate that you have made the time to watch my video and connect with me ☺️
I hope you didn't have rude people complain? Who am I kidding, there will always be rude people. Ignore them. I am really loving your art and videos. ❤
Such is life right? 😉 Like you say it’s best to ignore the things we cannot control and focus on how we prefer to interact with others ❤️ Thank you for your kindness and support 🤗💕
@@gabrielleannacormierart you deserve it!
@@tanyawatson6668 💕🤗
This is so beautiful - I kept hearing about neurographic art but yours is the best I’ve seen !
Aww ❤️ Thank you so much for your kindness!
You should take your down time❣️❣️❣️❣️
The colors you used arent usually my favorite colors but when you did this piece you made my heart sing. Its so very pretty. I love your work and your channel. Always take the time you need for yourself. I have learned with age to listen to my body and you should too. Im glad you had a good vacation. Have a great week.😊
Reading this made me smile big! Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️🤗 ''Listen to your body'' is one of my mantras! It usually speaks to me loud and clear ☺️ I hope you have a wonderful week too!
Thank you for sharing Gabrielle. I am sure that everyone who watching your channel loves what you create and none would mind if you have not commented back within 24 hours. I am very grateful to see each painting and how it takes me on a journey. You already done so much, you create time for sharing your ideas, your talent, your process, create videos, edit, voice over, and much more. So please do not feel that you have to answer withing that time frame. It is life and sometimes other things do take priority. You are human.
❤️💕❤️ I know there is kindness in this world and every week, when I read my comments, I get reminded of this even more! Thank you for your kind and supportive words 🥲 It means so much to me!!! Lots of love being sent your way my friend ❤️🤗
Gabrielle, I just ran into your channel and I subscribed for a few reasons. 1. You work is truly amazing. 2. you walk us through what and why you are doing something in the processes . 3. The tone of you voice is so pleasant to listen to, 4. You really make sense of what you are doing in the process . I love your work, and enjoy you very much. Will continue watching you. 😊
Welcome aboard! ❤️🤗 Thank you so much for choosing to be here!! I appreciate your kind words and I want you to know they brought a big smile to my face. It means a lot to me that you made the time to connect with me like this ☺️
Wow! Wow! Absolutely exquisite! Right down my alley! Your vibe is so chill, yet determined. Love your style of creating, your photos of Norway, your positivity and your concern for the environment. New subscriber!
Too beautiful!👍🌟🌹
Awe ❤☺ You just brought a huge smile and happy tears to my eyes!@@joywilliamsnl Thank you so much for your kindness and thank you for choosing to spend time with me 💕
Such beautiful work !! This is something I’d love to try !! Hi from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for your kindness! ❤️ I hope you will give it a try and have lots of fun in the process 🤗 I 💕 🇨🇦
Fascinating process and stunning result.
Thank you so much ❤️🤗
So beautiful. I turned it sideways with the large orange pointing down and it’s lovely that way as well.
Thank you so much Tammie ❤️ Isn't it fun how abstract art can be viewed from different angles and still look beautiful. I like that aspect of it as well ☺️
Absolutely love this😍😍. It’s amazingly beautiful and you are so talented!! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us 🫶🏻🫶🏻🤗🤗
Thank you so much for being SO kind!!! ❤️🤗
Wow! This was magical. You picked up your pen, and this painting came to life.
Thank you so much Wilma ❤️🤗 I really saw it come to life when the black ink hit the paper too! What a wonderful feeling when a painting comes together in this way. ☺️
It looks like a beautiful map! What an inspiration you are! Ohhhh Norway. So gorgeous. I hope it did your soul good and that you are able to get some rest in the midst of moving. Sending healing vibes your way. Thank you for sharing your lovely art with us. ♥
It reminded me of a map too! ☺️ Thank you so much for your caring and kind words! I think Norway helped in more than one way: we are still jet lagged and getting to bed earlier. But, it would be nice to wake up a little later than 3 am 😂 We are getting lots done though! Healing vibes received 🙏✨ Thank you 💕
Glad you were able to get away for a little bit. Sometimes these unexpected blessings come in times when we need them most! I am glad you had this time to reconnect with what is really important!
And if you don't respond to every comment, most of us can handle it - because we understand life. During a burnout I had to learn the hard way that time away IS time AWAY. We can not be 'on' all the time - we are heirs of the kingdom, not the slaves.... Great picture! Love it! You got a new sub. Blessings from Switzerland
Thank you so much for your words of wisdom, kindness and compassion ❤️🤗 I appreciate you choosing to connect with me in this way and I also appreciate that you have chosen to spend time "with" me. My vacation certainly proved the value of making time to get away even when life is calling on me to stay. It really did me a world of good! Thank you also for subscribing! 🥰
Thanks, Gabrielle - this is a beautiful piece. Watercolor is my truest love and I’m so inspired by your gifts. And, grateful to you for sharing them with us. Just to say, I never feel that I’m owed an explanation or an immediate response. Period. ♥️
Same here. When I write a comment there is no expectation as I already feel that by sharing and making the actual content they have given their time. I won't lie. I do like when I do get a like and comment back as it feels I am connecting personally to the this person yet totally agree no expectations of an anwer back.
Thank you both so much for your kindness, support and grace ❤️🤗 It means more to me than you could know and it is received very much as a gift 💝
I noticed your use of gold paint - which really highlights details and adds some 'glamour and mystery' to the paintings. Love it!
I looked for that Kremer pigment online. They are based in Germany and they sell their 'gold' paints and other watercolors online (Tubes, half and full pans, open stock and curated Palettes). The prices are certainly in the upper regions (yet still moderate considering what you get!!!), and together with shipping cost and the toll that is required for shipments to Switzerland the order reaches a price I am not willing to pay. So I went hunting for a substitute and I think I found something surprisingly adequate.
Schmincke sells a waterbased gold pigment (Iriodin) in 35 (!) ml tubes for about 11.- $ (which is such a fair price for such a big tube). It is not explicitly advertised for use in aquarels, but it works great. The gold pigments sit close together when not diluted down too much (creamy consistency) and really give a nice, tight golden reflection. My squeezed out sample dried out and I was able to rewet the paint without any problem! The name on the tube reads "aqua Linoldruck linoprint' and the name of the pigment is 'Iriodin'. I found it by chance in my local Mom and Pop office supplies store, of all places... But I assume one can buy it online as well. I am happy and thought I share it with your viewers who may also be eager to find a nice gold paint that is not exorbitantly expensive and still made by a reputable company.
Thank you so much for making the time to share this! ❤️ Yes, though Kremer's paints are lovely, they are quite expensive and they are also not available everywhere. It is always nice to have tried and tested products that make good substitutes shared in our community. I also like the CSY Art Gallery little paint sets. They are much less expensive than Kremer Pigments and they are very iridescent. Thank you again for making the time to share this with us! 🤗
Thank you for taking the time to give us yet another beautiful creation. You built up colour and texture so gently and made me want to try using salt between layers instead of just once. You put so much thought into your videos. It is a pleasure to learn from you and to be able to connect by commenting, but I hope you don’t feel pressure to reply. You have a lot going on!
I am glad that you had such a restorative time in Norway, the photos were stunning. Many years ago I had a birthday gift of a one day trip to Tromsø to see the Northern Lights and have an icy ride on a dog sled and I loved every moment!
Have a lovely week 😊 💫 B x
Hi Bernice ❤️🤗 Thank you once again for making me smile and feel so loved and supported! I honestly never feel pressure from any of you to reply quickly - the pressure comes from me because I value connecting with you all so much. And at the same time, I'm learning to cut myself some slack. ☺️ There really is only so much I can do in a day and my health and well being also matter to me a great deal. What an amazing gift that was!!! I'm so happy you had this experience!! 🥰 We were hoping to see the Northern Lights too, but the aurora forecast and the weather forecast asked us to focus on other activities. We hope we will get to go back to do some more hiking and who knows, maybe then 🤞🙏✨ Sending you lots of love and great big hugs 💕🤗
Hi Gabrielle 💕 what a treat it is to see your beautiful smiling face two weeks in a row! 😊 I was feeling so bad because I didn't comment last week. By the time I remembered, I decided to just wait until this week, so your words are timely. 😉 How exciting you got to go to Norway!! Your pictures are fantastic; you went to some amazingly gorgeous places! What a blessing it is to be able to share something like that with family members! I hope you didn't miss Garou too much.
I liked your painting very much this week, sometimes creating more simple pieces is exactly what we need. Of course I loved the gold! 😊🌟 Be kind to yourself this week my friend, and I'll continue to pray that you achieve a lot on your to do list, and that the stress doesn't become overwhelming for you. Hugs to you my friend, have a good week! 🤗💕
Hi Lori ❤️🤗 I always love to hear from you and at the same time I hope you know there are no expectations on my part. I think the best friendships and relationships are like that in many ways. There’s an understanding and mutual respect and appreciation for each other’s life. And whenever we do come into contact it is such a gift no matter how long it has been ☺️
We had such a wonderful vacation! For the first time in many weeks, I was able to relax into sleep almost every night and wouldn’t you know it, the pain in my upper back and neck also went away. Now it’s even clearer how much stress affects my wellbeing.
I missed Garou so much!!! My saving grace was knowing there was a kind and lovely person staying with him at our house. ❤️ Don’t you just wish we could take them with us everywhere we go?!
Thank you for your kind words and support my friend 💕 I feel so blessed! Sending you lots of love and great big virtual hugs 🤗
Glad you went on vacation. And I am patient I always enjoy your paintings and understand that you cannot get back to everyone right away. You're busy with your awesome art. Love this thank you and will you be announcing when you'll be moving? Love you 😊❤
Also, beautiful photography. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. 😊❤
Thank you for making the time to join me on my creative journey and to view my travel log ☺️ I appreciate your kind words of support more than you could know! 💕 Our move is starting to happen already, but will hopefully officially be completed in two weeks from now 😳 (and I remind myself to breathe 😂) One day at a time is a good modo for me right now 😁 Love you too Linda! 🤗❤️
Beautiful! Your vacation looks amazing. You absolutely should take whatever time you need for yourself. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kindness! ❤️🤗 It was a good vacation indeed and it was a gift to my body and soul ☺️
Just LOVED watching this! ❤
❤️💕❤️ Reading this makes my heart sing! Thank you ☺️
Merci pour tous ces beaux partages; réflexions, création, photos. Et oh! Joie de pouvoir mettre un (joli) visage sur ces vidéos que je regarde régulièrement depuis quelques semaines. Tu respires la douceur, la gentillesse. J'aimerais que tu sois ma voisine! 🤗 Il n'y a aucune pression à répondre à ce commentaire... Nous avons le devoir de protéger notre vie personnelle (notre "précieux"). ❤
Merci, merci, merci Manon ❤️🤗 Ta gentillesse est tellement appréciée! Je suis une voisine assez tranquille, je pense qu'on s'entendrait bien pour bien des raisons 💕
@@gabrielleannacormierart c'est clair qu'on s'entendrait bien. Si jamais tu visites Montréal un jour... 😁
On ne sait jamais!! J'y suis allée plusieurs fois et j'aimerais bien y aller de nouveau ❤🤗@@manongemme30
Gee...lovely! Thank you🥰 The photos are breathtaking!
Thank you so much Joyce ❤️🤗 I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Tu as raison de vouloir garder quelques coins secrets car tu ne peux pas deviner si les gens sont bien ou mal intentionnés. Quant aux réponses, tu prends déjà la peine de répondre ; qui ne peut pas attendre un peu ? Nous aussi sommes avertis quand la réponse arrive, donc, prends tout ton temps. Merci pour ce nouveau partage toujours aussi beau.
❤️💕❤️ Merci beaucoup Monika 🤗 Je suis tellement choyée d'être aussi bien entourée!!
I just stumbled across your channel and im hooked, my art has always been very representational or botanical and im in a real rut, i also find watercolour painting extremely difficult but i would love to try this out
Hi Lynn ❤️🤗 I'm so happy you're here!! My video this week actually touches on the topic of inspiration so I can understand or at least imagine where you are coming from. Geologic art is so much fun and there is a ton out there to inspire us. I hope you will give this a try and that you will have fun in the process 🎨☺️ When I find myself in these ruts too, I find it good to remind myself to be gentle with myself and to just keep painting the simple things that bring me joy. Eventually, I find my way out and I hope you will too 🤗
Fantastique
Merci encore!! 🤗❤️ C'est bien apprécié!! ☺️
Maybe the ones you can’t find goes to scrapbook heaven❣️❣️
Hehe! I love this! Scrapbook heaven sounds like a great place to be ❤️☺️
Another great piece of work it’s beautiful. Don’t worry about replying within a certain amount of time look after yourself. I’m glad you had such a good holiday. Good luck with your move I know how stressful it this can be, thank you for taking the time to keep posting during this time
Thank you so much on every account, Sue ❤️🤗 Your caring and supportive words are a gift and I feel blessed to receive them 💕
Dear Gabrielle. Thank you for sharing your heart as always. I agree with you 10000 %. Just keep doing what you do. Loved the painting and video for this week. I enjoy so much watching you paint. So relaxing. You are so talented. I can tell of your gentle soul. I appreciate you very much. Sending you a cyber hug my dear friend. Enjoy !
Hi Rosario ❤️🤗 Your words are always like a ray of sunshine hitting my face 🥰 Thank you for your kind, compassionate and supportive words. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and I appreciate the cyber hugs 🤗 I'm sending a whole bunch your way too 🤗🤗🤗
YOUR USE OF COLOURS AND THE EXECUTION IS SO VERY LOVELYAND INRIGING.
I JUST CAN'T GET THE HANG OF DOING IT ANYWHERE LIKE YOU GIFT.
Aww ❤️ Thanks so much for your kind words! Time, patience and practice my friend 🤗
I love these colors, and your photos of Norway, omg, what a stunning landscape. Thank you for sharing.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed my video and the pictures of my trip to Norway. It really is a stunning place. Thank you for making the time to connect with me. ❤️☺️
Gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much for your kindness! 💕 Cheers!
The fall like colours in this weeks art are gorgeous and I agree the black does bring out the colours. Your images from your trip look amazing and I would love to visit Norway and beyond. The mountains make magnificent subjects. I can see why you would feel refreshed after your vacation.
Thank you so much Julie ❤️🤗 I hope you get to go to Norway too! The landscape there is magically beautiful 💕 I think you'd feel very inspired by it too!
Just gorgeous. Love abstract like this. Yes the gold and black just makes it fabulous.
Thank you so much Janet ❤️🤗 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
My husband is half Norwegian ❤
That is awesome!! What kind people ❤️ Their language is like a joyful song to me 🥰
Beautiful 🤎🧡💛
Thank you 💕
Thank you Gabrielle as always.Lovely to see you enjoying Norway with loved ones. I am grateful to now live in Northern Sweden and I feel so at one with nature here….such a privilege.
As always your creativity was fabulous…so enjoyed seeing the image develop and finally emerge. You prompt me to be patient and listen to my inner self and go with the flow. ❤❤
Thank you so much Adele ❤️🤗 We initially wanted to travel all of Scandinavia and then realized it was much bigger than two weeks of travel would allow to really appreciate each country. I can only imagine how beautiful Sweden is and hope I will someday have a chance to breath in its lovely air as well. I appreciate you making the time to connect with me 💕
@@gabrielleannacormierart I know this reply will not find you immediately so don’t stress about your reply. Just to say you are always welcome to visit us in Northern Sweden.
We previously lived in the UK 66 million people in an area half the size of Sweden which hosts 10 million people. Sweden is vast,and the air is so pure, as is the water. Different landscape to Norway, more akin to British Columbia.
Perhaps one day we can paint together? ❤️🇸🇪
Awe ❤ What a lovely idea!!! 🥰 I hope to make it to Sweden one day, so you never know @@AdeleReece-xp1fz 🤗
beautiful........you are such an inspirition
Thank you so much 💕
You are so beautiful and pleasantly beautiful 🧡♥️💚🧡♥️💚I like the father in love such a unique touch.I can hear part of a hymn when I look at this work of art Peace like a River…..water rolling over the stones👏👏👏👏👏You are amazing with with color♥️🧡💚💙Hope you move is fairly easy.
Ah Nancy!! ❤️🤗 You have a way with words and your caring nature hugs my soul each and every time! Thank you so much for being you!! The move has started (ever so slowly, but it has started). I believe it is off to a good start! Now if we could just stop waking up at 3 am 😂 Sending you lots of love and great big hugs 💕🤗
This painting is geological landscape in a form of animal connectivity. A snail with a elephant head shaped shell on its back yet from a different angle it is a land mark seen from an aerospace. What a clever abstract landscape painting. Wonderful
Aww!!!! I love this so much!! ❤️ Thank you for making the time to share this with me 🤗 When I was looking at it in the end, it was reminding me of an upside down Africa or South America 😁 I always enjoy reading what you are seeing when you look at it from your perspective.
Yes definitely see Africa and America merging into one. It may be a hidden message me finding you to me as I originally come from Africa though settled here in UK. How amazing.
I love this!! I have been to the UK but I have not had the opportunity to go to Africa yet though it is still very much a dream for me to go there ❤🤗 We are one and all connected so I am not surprised that we could communicate with each other in this way 💕@@CHARUL814
@@gabrielleannacormierart definitely if chance permits go to East Africa. Especially the national parks like Ngorongoto craters, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, its a nature galore with wild animals openly roaming and absolutely beautiful heaven on earth experience. I am sure you will love it.
Oh wow!! Thank you so much for the recommendations! ❤Even just reading your description, I could imagine how beautiful it would be. I'm sure I would love it too ☺@@CHARUL814
The algorithm just introduced you to me, and wow! In the last few months, I've gotten into neurographic art, which has been amazing to tap into my intuition. Now, I can add these beautiful glazed layers and play with salt. Thanks so much for sharing your process and techniques. Also, your Norway trip looks stunning, and I've only heard good things about it 😊
Yay!!! It's not often I appreciate the algorithm as much as your comment has made me appreciate it ☺️❤️ I'm so happy you made the time to watch and to also connect with me. Thank you so much for your kindness! 💕
Definitely going to try this one! Thank you!
Yay!! I love this! Thank you for making the time to watch and connect! 💕☺️
Incredibly stunning! ❤ loved the colours, the ink work and gold accents. Thank you for sharing your process. Hugs from South Africa 🤗💐
Ah South Africa!!! I will visit you someday ❤️ Isn't it fun that we are so far from each other and yet still get to connect?! 🥰 Thank you so much for your kindness and for making the time to reach out 🤗
I absolutely Love this so much!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! Thank you ❤️

Thank you for sharing your art and for bringing Norway to my screen. That was a treat! I always appreciate your attitude 🫶🏻
I'm so glad you enjoyed all of it!! ❤️ Thank you for being so kind! 🤗
Sieht gut 👍 aus
Vielen Dank ☺️
At what wet stage do you put down the salt. Mine never turns out this way. Just tiny dots usually. Yours is so lovely. I'm referring to the large splashes at the first stage that look like snowflakes. Love the gold technique using the large brush. Beautiful work! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much Kathleen!! ❤️🤗 With respect to your question about the salt, I usually apply it as soon as I'm done applying the paint, while it is still damp. If there is too much water on the paper, the salt will clump up and be difficult to remove. If there is too little water, this is maybe when you will only get the tiny dots. I will also say that the paper seems to make a big difference. I was using Arches paper here and I usually have better results than when I use Canson paper for instance. This is a technique that is well worth experimenting with using scrap pieces of paper and applying the salt on the paper at different levels of dampness. I hope this helps! ☺️
That is beautiful
Thank you so much ❤️☺️
❤❤❤

I personally never mind if YT creators don't reply to any messages. We are here for the content you create and share. Would never want the stress or pressure of feeling you need to respond to messages to cause you a YT burnout.
Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion ❤️ I appreciate your perspective ☺️ YT burnout is a very real issue!
Great art,and wonderful vacation pix. Thank you for sharing. No need to respond.
Thank you for your kindness ☺️
Norway is so beautiful. We went on fjords cruise there and you are right every place you go to its absolutely amazingly breath taking. Thank you for sharing photos and your experience
It really is! ❤️ Oh how wonderful a cruise through the fjords must have been!! ☺️
@gabrielleannacormierart it definitely was amazing. It was very special as it was my very first journey after diagnosis of my condition which had left me paralysed for couple of years and I managed this holiday back again walking and being with family. Ever so grateful as nature and art has helped me through my recovery plus unconditional love and support from my friends families. There is always so much to be grateful about. Your art has supported me lots and I am forever grateful to you. Await to learn more from you and hope one day meet in person. Hopefully you will have a art retreat where I may be able to take part. ❤ lots of love to you and thank you.
Wow!!! What a touching and amazing story of recovery!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me and most of all, thank you for sharing the very special person that you are with me ❤🤗 @@CHARUL814 I am open to all possibilities and yes, wouldn't it be lovely to connect at a live art retreat? What a beautiful dream 💕

I’m envious of your patience when it comes to laying those light layers of colour and letting it build. Your transitions look so smooth. I get impatient and want that bold pigment on the paper right away. I need to slow down and be more mindful.
I totally get what you're saying!! I too would love the bold colors to appear right away! And watercolors have been a great teacher to me in this respect - I usually like my work better when I slow the process down too. Thank you for your kind words and for making the time to connect ❤️🤗
❤❤
Merci beaucoup mame ❤️🤗
Beautiful ❤❤❤. New subscriber here
Thanks for subbing! ❤️ It means a lot to me and I appreciate your kindness ☺️
Gabrielle, first your art is beautiful and your videos very helpful in my art journey. Secondly, what is the material you tape your paper to? Is it plexiglass? Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for reaching out ❤️☺️ I adhere my paper to a piece of plexiglass my husband and I cut out from an old shed window. Any rigid surface can work. I prefer to use surfaces I can lift and move around. If you'd like to use some plexiglass too, Amazon sells something comparable here amzn.to/40pMLMQ.
i really enjoyed watching your u paint. your work is beautiful and inspiring. By the way my sur name is Cormier too. My father's family goes back 3 generations in St. John Newbrunswick. He was raised 1 of 7 in New Bedford Massachusetts. Any chance we're related some how?
Thank you Susan ❤️☺️ I was born in Moncton and raised in Cap-Pele. I don’t believe we are closely related, but there could certainly be a distant relation ☺️ There are so many Cormier’s in New Brunswick! Have any members of your family kept their French? Related or not, it’s always lovely to connect with a Cormier 💕 I hear the name once in a while in Maine ☺️
This is beautiful! How do you keep your paper from buckling when you are using so much water?
Thank you ☺️❤️ I tape my paper to a rigid (usually also movable) surface and make sure my painting is fully dry before removing the tape. This usually keeps it pretty flat. If there’s still a little bit of buckling, I use the technique suggested in this video: th-cam.com/video/6AJLZ8hrJ_o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6a6PdH9oeCeNxUGl. I hope this helps!
Can we do this using acrylic paints?
How do you decide when it is time to stop and let a layer dry? I tend to get mud when I try to do as much initial first layer with multiple colors. How do you add so many colors without two or three colors messing with each other? I suspect it is just hours and hours of practice knowing exactly how touching of one color with another will turn out. I also sometimes make a mess adding a second layer, even if I let first layer dry completely. I do not quite know how to avoid that either!
My best advice here is to start with very light washes and to build up layers (with dry time in between) slowly. If you add light wash over already dried backgrounds that aren’t already very saturated with pigments, the colors should blend too much ( this also means being careful not to scrub the first layers too much while adding the second layer for instance). I know how frustrating it can be to create mud when that wasn’t your intention. And at the same time, you’re probably learning a lot as you’re going along. When I’m not sure about something, I experiment and try to approach my process like a scientist. What happens when I do…? What happens if I change (the amount of pigment, the amount of water, etc). What happens when I mix (for ex. 2 different colors)? A good working knowledge of color theory can help us understand why certain colors create “mud” ie neutrals. Neutrals aren’t bad and can even serve an important purpose in any painting. It comes with time and practice and lots of self compassion and patience. I hope this helps! Thank you for reaching out to connect 🤗❤️
Hi. Geary video, what have you taped the paper down onto? Thanks ❤
Thank you for your kindness ☺️❤️ I usually tape my paper onto a piece of plexiglass or another rigid surface like a clipboard. I prefer this to taping it down on my table because I can pick it up and moving it around if I need to.
@@gabrielleannacormierart thankyou so much 😍
Gabrielle is it regular table salt ro special kind
I generally like the results I get with regular table salt the most. But, coarse grain salt can also create interesting effects. In this painting, I was using fine grain table salt. ☺️
What is the first brush you used. I don’t see a link for it.
Hi! Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I see that I missed mentioning it in my video description. It is similar to the large brush from this little set: amzn.to/45rs18d. Unfortunately, I cannot find it for sale on its own on Amazon, but you might be able to find it at Michaels if this is an option for you. I hope this helps!
Can I make this on stretched canvas?
I have not tried this technique using watercolors and/or acrylics on canvas and so I cannot say whether or not it will work. If you do try it using acrylic paints, I would suggest diluting your paint with a medium to make it less viscous. The best way to learn about anything is to experiment with your supplies to see how they will interact. Have fun ☺️
Hi, what ink do you use in you fiuntain pen please?
Hi ☺️ This is the black ink I use in my fountain pen: amzn.to/46wthbJ.
