    I love both the painting advice you offer on your channels, ans the peaceful inspiration to relax and be kind to yourself. In the last few years, the accumulation of big panini, extra work and responsibilities, mounting chronic pain have led me to burnout. Taking up watercolor has been an incredible way to focus on myself. take time to heal, and reduce stress. I am thankful for your channel; you are a lovely human and I love that you address mental health issues in connection with art :)

    As a person with multiple chronic illnesses I’m still following strict Covid protocols so I have experienced increased anxiety, exhaustion, pain. As a result I’ve experienced creative block more frequently for the past several years. I really love that you share with us how you felt when painting! You’ve inspired me to start making art regularly again, and I love the idea of painting my mood. Thanks so much!❤

    Beautiful video and sketchbooks, Denise. You were so brave in sharing things created during the hardest times... that's bold! I think the first nude you did, in the full panel, tarot card style is my favorite. It represents such a turning point in your life and even in the subject matter you were doing. And it turned out beautifully! Continuing to cherish the opportunity to see your work unfold and grow.

    Now I understand why I had to allocate some special time for this video... I thought I was prepared, on a calm, sunny Saturday morning with my cup of coffee, but no. I was not ready for your art to make me so emotional to the point of crying. I cried of joy, relief, pain, fear, hope and feelings that I don't even know the names for. So thank you very much for putting your feelings into art so I can relate and feel and take inspiration from. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I wish you what I wish for myself: light, so we can get to the other side safely. Much success!

    • @InLiquidColor

    I want to thank you for sharing the journal sketchbooks. Those are very personal, even if you only shared the pages you felt more comfortable sharing, but they were fascinating and beautiful.
    I've personally lost a lot of my painting habits, probably because of my steady job that I've gained (yay for money, less yay for the lack of free time and energy), but I'm slowly getting back on the horse. Seeing this wonderful collection of different pieces and sketchbooks is very inspirational, and I've started branching out into gouache (after years of clinging to just watercolour), so the addition of a new medium is also helping me find motivation and new joy. My final thing that is helping me get back on it is my friends. They live in different countries, but sometimes, when everyone has the time, they go "let's hang out on discord and paint together". It's the best motivation I could ask for, and a wonderful time.
    Anyway, yes. Thank you Denise. I can't wait to see whatever comes next for your channel, your videos will always be a joy and inspiration 💖

    • @InLiquidColor
      @InLiquidColor  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's wonderful to hear! Discord has literally been a huge factor in keeping me grounded and connected these past years. My D&D and art friends are on there, and it's wonderful to be able to check in regularly! I love that you have art hangouts 🥰

  • @joannebrunt7189
    @joannebrunt7189 ปีที่แล้ว

    I started learning to paint during the lockdowns here in Australia, which is when I discovered you. My absolute favourite thing that I’ve painted is the rhino from your Skillshare class. Thank you for all the wonderful content you bring to us :)

    Thank you for sharing your Sketchbooks.
    I remember the horrible that storm of 2021 & it was a nightmare for the entire state. Your waxwing’s paintings remind me of their annual migration even reaching H-Town.
    I’m 6 weeks post knee replacement and understand going through a dark place in creatively. I can’t even knit which is usually my go to when I’m having trouble concentrating. I know it will pass.

  • @KitarraChaosWeaver
    @KitarraChaosWeaver ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the tour! I think my3 favorites in order: 1. Vulture. Spectacular! 2. 15 Stroke Chickens! 3. Eyes! Love seeing you post! The last few years have been a blur for me. I am getting out my creativity through crafting rather than arting. Arting has been reduced to pencil sketches as I came to realize one fine inktober that inking ruins everything! So I am reduced to drawing the things that make me happy usually tiny florals and insects. Crafting on the other hand has become far more expressive and expansive.

    • @InLiquidColor
      @InLiquidColor  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great to hear from you, too Kitarra! I've definitely gotten more crafty lately too, and reflecting over my journals has also spurred me into sketching these last couple days. Here's to hoping I can stick with it! Wishing you all the best as well :)

  • @NaomiCoutureArt

    @themightierpencil ปีที่แล้ว

    The Panini actually kickstarted my art revival after I'd not drawn anything for 4 years, and since 2020 I've filled 10 sketchbooks and working on 6 more lol. Your watercolor videos helped with a majority of them as I've learned so much from you about pigments and what I like in a watercolor palette, so I thank you very very much.

  • @hannahthufvesson
    @hannahthufvesson ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved this entire video! The dark one you showed us, with the deer, it conveyed so much emotion. It was the best punch in the gut. I felt very moved, in the best of ways, by it, in the way great art seems to have this unique capacity to do, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing with us, and for being personal!

    • @InLiquidColor
      @InLiquidColor  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much, Hannah. I'm really glad you enjoyed that piece. I don't even remember conceptualizing it, honestly. I just remember finishing it. It would be nice to explore that concept in a larger piece sometime.

    • @hannahthufvesson
      @hannahthufvesson ปีที่แล้ว

      @@InLiquidColor Well, if you ask me, I don't believe there's necessarily a need to conceptualise something in order to express what we experience. Sometimes, I want to guess, it might be better not to, because we don't always know in the moment what where going through. Those are the moments where art just fills a gap for me, because it can be a visual representation of emotion without labels. Well, would you look at that! That's the most philosophising I've ever done in a TH-cam comment regarding art! ☺️🙈 I would love to see you explore it more!

  • @godzandheros
    @godzandheros ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I find it oddly poetic how the last painting you did before the 2021 winter storm was a llama and then the sketchbook you chose after your art break features a llama logo on the cover. These paintings were beautiful, especially the tarot inspired ones. Those were definitely my favourite and I'd love to see more of your interpretation of the cards in the future if you ever get around to doing more!

    • @InLiquidColor

    Hullo Denise I am just so happy that you have posted this video. You are truly inspirational and very relaxing to listen and watch. I am excited for you and your exploration of different subjects, I hope you continue but please feel no pressure to share if your not comfortable doing so. I have never completed a sketchbook, not in over 50 years! I believe that TH-cam has changed the approach to what a sketchbook is and should be! I am glad that you are hopping about and sharing what you choose! I encourage you to keep working on imagery that brings joy to your life. I counted my in progress artworks last weekend, the number is 22. I truly believe that I need more time to work on rather than create new projects! I honestly don’t know how artists that post videos and Instagram posts actually create and finish them! I have a new opaque watercolor palette that excited me to start painting another project! Thank you for sharing everything you have In this video. Please take care and keep the joy of painting in your life. Happy painting to you Denise!

    Hi Denise! Thank you for sharing these wonderful paintings with us! I love the variety of subjects and am inspired by your addition of different backgrounds and media. I have been very artistically unproductive since the start of the pandemic but have recently started to get back into painting again after a very experimental (and fun!) Inktober challenge. Now I feel like all I want to do is draw and paint so have started the 100 heads challenge. Hope you are keeping well. Sarah 😊

    It was fun seeing many of the postcards I have up around my house show up in your sketchbooks. All my sketchbooks look more like your art journal book, I do abstracts like 90% of the time and honestly a lot of it is mark making as self soothing. Actually I’m big into neurographic art these days, it’s super simple but then you can embellish it a million ways. So it’s become a go to when I don’t have an idea.

    We have cedar waxwings that migrate through yearly, and they love a certain tree with red berries. But in the spring when they come, the berries are often fermented, and they can end up getting drunk and chilling on the ground for a bit. :P

    • @InLiquidColor
      @InLiquidColor  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fingers crossed it won't be years! I've talked about this in other videos, but I definitely struggle with drawing (vs painting), and I think that's what has deterred me from painting more people. I don't know why in my head it's fine to trace an animal reference but not a human 😆 but that's just silly. Anyhoo, definitely a goal of mine this year is to explore that more!

    Thank you for sharing. My art practice over the last couple years has become more consistent. I had a few major life issues and coupled with Covid had an easier time doing art and art adjacent things. Shockingly Ive been good at maintaining it thus far. Hippos are amazing. 100% herbivores and kill 500+ humans a year just because they can.
