I am so surprised that anyone complains about your videos. They are amazing and I continue to be inspired. Thank you for posting these wonderful videos
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment! It's always makes me feel good to know that my videos are inspiring people to try or keep on painting with alcohol inks in this style. I am so grateful to those of you who are so vocal in your appreciation. That is what keeps me making these videos! 💜😊💜
Well said Kay! I was just thinking the same thing, you shouldn't have to apologize to your audience. We are grateful you create these videos for us to enjoy, learn, and be inspired by!
Hi thank you so much for this tutorial. I have searched and searched for one that I can watch the technic easily. Please do not apologise at all this is the best tutorial I have watched and it’s also made me realise that one id thought had gone wrong actually hasn’t, you’re voice is also pretty lol I’m from England and I could listen to you all day! I’m shielding and have taken this opportunity to learn some new skills and just told my husband I’ll be up at 5am giving this ago. When I’ve finished what I have planned I’ll send you a picture! I’ve been an artist all my life (48 now) and went to art college 30 years ago but had to put it all on hold because of money and my family. Now they have left home I am now able to do what I love. You are an inspiration with your art work and I can’t wait to watch all your videos and learn more. 🥰🥰🥰
😊 Thank you so much! With an art background like yours, I am sure you'll be able to come up with a great many unique ideas for ways to use alcohol inks! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely comment! I know we have been in touch otherwise, but I really appreciate you showing your support here on my channel as well! 💜💜
Hi, Lorrie! Thank you for another great tutorial on this technique. I'm just started out with wispy and I'm not getting it ... yet. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you. I think it's sad that you feel the need to apologize to anyone complaining that they can't see because of the dryer, or they can't see what color you're using. You have been so generous with your time. Almost every other ai artist I have watched who is doing this does it sped up and no explanation as to what they're doing. You do your videos real time and you take the time to explain and teach. You are right at the top of artists I watch for new videos to come out. I can see perfectly with the dryer. It only gets in the way for a few seconds, and we can all assume what's going on with the ink when this happens. You keep on being you and making these great videos. You won't hear anything but p raise from me. You're best! Oh, and I love to hear you talk too. Love you, Lorrie
💜 Thank you so much for that wonderful comment! You have no idea what it means to me to have support like yours! I know that no matter how I do things I will never be able to make every single person happy, but it's hard for me not to at least try. I stress myself out too much over some things so it really, really means so much to me to read a comment like yours. These comments and knowing how much you and others appreciate my videos are what keep me doing this! Much love to you! 😊💜💜
@@LorrieBrewer It might be different if people were paying for your tutorials. But you are so kind and generous to do this for free. Nobody has the right to complain. Please keep making videos. I watch every single one!
💜🥰💜
Yay! Thank you! I'm very excited about the black paper! I love your videos. I feel that at the stage I'm at, I need you to tell me everything. If they don't want to listen they can turn off the volume!🤭
Thank you! I love knowing that people are enjoying the videos the way I do them. I know I can talk too much lol, but so many of you are new to this that I want to try to explain everything I can. There are times that even people who have been doing it for a while can benefit from being reminded of certain tips and tricks. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
You teach us something every day....patience...and keep working at it
💜 Those are the most important things to remember! I am glad you are learning from the videos. You know I will try to answer any questions you have if you run into problems you can't solve! 💜😊
Your videos are so helpful and pleasant. I learn from them and fall asleep to them. I love them and appreciate your effort.
😊 Thank you! I am so glad to hear you are enjoying them. I hope you are getting plenty of useful information from them, too. 💜💜
That came out gorgeous. I would never have used those 3 colors together, but I will now!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for the compliment! Lol I had never thought of using them together either. I have no idea why I decided to this time, other than looking for a different combination that I hadn't used before. They looked better together than I expected them to (although I probably shouldn't admit that lol). 💜😊
Gorgeous
💜 Thank you very much! 😊
This was so helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to show how you create your beautiful art.
You are so welcome! I am always happy to hear a video has been helpful to someone! Thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment! 😊💜
Love this one. I think I will have to try these colors together.
Thank you! I keep getting in a rut with the colors I use most often so I decided to try something I never had before. It turned out better than I expected it to lol. 💜💜
Beautiful,😘I’m so glad I found your page. I love watching everything you do. I just picked up a second hand dryer 500watt. Yaaay grabbed it pronto. I’ve already bought one like yours and had it adapted to use for Australian power supply. 💕
I am so glad you found my page, too! You are one of my long-timers and even though I have probably told you before, I really appreciate all your support and lovely comments! I am thrilled that you found a good dryer second hand! It's always great to have a backup just in case. 💜💜
I really love this one Lorrie! Beautiful!
Thank you so much! 😊💜
Your work is wonderful. I've been watching you for a long time and I'd like to try to create something too ... I have a question - How do you set the temperature when using the Revlon? (Does it have to be cold?) Thanks for answer...
Thank you so much! My Revlon dryer has a dedicated cool setting that I just slide the switch to. Unfortunately, it seems to no longer be available to buy. I am trying to find a similar replacement for people who don't have one yet. Technically, it doesn't have to have a cool setting, but I would highly recommend it. Your paper can and will warp with heat since it is just basically a sheet of plastic. Also, when I first started out, I found that my alcohol/inks dried up too quickly for me. I wanted longer to work them without having to constantly adding more alcohol. If you are looking for a similar dryer, make sure the brush attachment is removable (some aren't), that the wattage isn't too high (mine is 500 watts), and that it has a cool setting on it. I hope you decide to go ahead and give this a try! It takes some practice to master, but it really is a lot of fun and you can create some beautiful art like this! 💜💜
@@LorrieBrewer thank you so much for the comprehensive answer ❤️
Just beautiful! Have you ever used the Ranger Metallic Mixative paints in place of the Piñata Metallic paint on the Yupo? Just curious about the difference in effect.
Thank you! I have tried the Ranger Metallics, but I didn't like them very much for the style of painting that I do. They don't move with the ink/alcohol the way Pinata brass does. You really need to use blending solution with them (which I don't like, too thick) and even then I can't get results I am happy with. I like the veining and little chunky bits from the way the brass floats on the inks. I couldn't get that at all with the other metallics, not even the other Pinata metallics lol. 💜💜
Thank you for your videos! I’m learning a lot from them and so appreciate you! I have the same hairdryer. Are you using the first setting on it which is is a high volume of cool? Also I cannot get my Pinata brass to work like this. I am following your example but mine always puddles like sand in the middle of my alcohol. I can’t get it to stand up on the ridges. If I get any line at all it’s just specks. But always leaving a puddle of sand. I’m using the cool setting which blows the alcohol plenty. But it’s not moving the brass. Any ideas that might help? Thank you!!
Thank you very much for the lovely comment! I do use the cool setting on my dryer. It takes some practice to learn to deal with the high airflow, but that higher airflow really helps when it comes to moving the brass. One thing that may help, if you aren't already doing this, is to put down a drop of brass first then squirt your alcohol directly onto it to help it start moving. Be careful not to squirt too much. It's easy to do. I always blow back and forth over my brass/alcohol a couple of times, too. It takes a little bit to get it moving good sometimes. Be sure you aren't using too much brass, too. One drop of it can go a long way. The more you use, the more you will get those specks and floaty pieces, rather than a fine line. I hope this helps you some. Using the brass took me quite a bit of practice when I first started. I actually quit using it altogether for a while because I got so frustrated with it lol. Luckily, I did go back to practicing with it and finally got the hang of it. You will, too. Just keep up the practice and you'll have it mastered before you know it! 😊💜💜
You know what? I have more trouble with the dryer than any part of my ink situations! Is there any way to do a tutorial on the dryer? You make it look so easy, but I just want to pitch it completely away! Help! I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Videos 19 and 50 both have sections dedicated to that dryer near the beginning, but I don’t know the exact time stamp. If you haven’t watched them yet they might help you some. 💜💜
I dont see anything wrong with your set up you can see what your doing..and we can see at the same time.
Thank you very much for that comment! I have had several people say they have a hard time seeing what I am doing, so it's nice to hear someone say they can! 💜💜
Did you dilute the brass with alcohol?
Not in the bottle. I just use the alcohol to move the brass once it's on the paper. 💜
Why can't I get the lines you get with the brass. I try to do like u but mine just will not move into lines.Btw I love everything u do. I grew up in NC. We have very similar accents. I love it.
Can u do a back to basics on wispy, its not easy
Video [57] is a good one for you for the wispy style if you haven't watched it yet. Also, [19] and [50], the frequently asked questions ones, are good since I try to show some of what to do and not to do in them. I know you may have already watched them, though. I will try to get another back to basics one done soon. There are so many people just getting started that I am sure you aren't the only one who is wanting one. Thank you for suggesting it! 💜💜
What do you call “fingers”
That's just my name for those little squiggles of ink that you can get when you lose control of where the ink and/or alcohol goes on your paper. They remind me of fingers sticking out from a hand so that's what I call them lol. One viewer calls them "spider legs" lol. 💜😊
I never have ideas.. Composition is very hard for me
If you are having a hard time with composition, just try starting in the middle of your paper and working your way outward all around. Or try to follow the shape of a painting you like until you can get the hang of it. Once you are more comfortable with painting in this wispy style, it will be easier to come up with shapes you would like to try on your own. Hang in there! 💜💜
@@LorrieBrewer im tryn! Guess its just taking me longer to get it, almost got it. People out there get it first couple times, im not one of those people... ivwant to get good at painting, dream is to make art and make $. Im disabled so extra $ eould help us. Thanks for replying, i love ur videos and listening to u, ur so cute. Ur one of the best artists i have seen on utube. U r.. have a good day u and ur little ones. Thanx again
If someone said they are getting this in the first couple of tries they are either an art prodigy or stretching the truth a little bit. It takes most people weeks of practice from what I have heard and experienced myself. Don’t feel frustrated or bad about your abilities if it is taking you longer than you thought it would. If it were super easy to learn then no one would watch my videos because they’d already be doing it perfectly lol. 💜💜
@@LorrieBrewer that makes me feel better, thanx! Just keep tryn i guess, ill get it, i almost have it, getn there!
C, i can hear u over the dryer, idk why people dont like that, at least then u can say exactly what ur doing:)
It's much easier for me to explain as I paint, too. I tend to forget little details that you might need to know by the time I get to do a voice over on a video. I am glad the dryer noise isn't keeping you from hearing what I am saying! 😊💜
17 ads??? No thanks
Did you have 17 ads pop up? This is no way acceptable and I promise you that I had nothing to do with it. I am trying to figure out what is going on with the ads. Some people are getting none and others are getting ridiculous amounts. I am so sorry if this has happened to you. I am hoping TH-cam and Google get the issue fixed soon. I have heard of some other creators that are having the same issue. I am so very sorry!
Yes,17...I quit after the 1st couple..I’m sure it’s not you,and I love watching you,but now you don’t get to skip the ads like you used to....I watched one that was over 1.5 hrs and only had 7 ads...ugh....I think this is why people aren’t watching.....
I tried again,and the same number..I took a screenshot...idk how to show you though...
I had my daughter watch the video that I have had the most complaints of ads on (this one) and she had the same problem. She didn’t count them but said about every 4-5 minutes one would pop up. Hers were all skippable, but that would still drive a person batty and keep them from watching. I hope I can find out something to do soon. I promise I don’t ever put extra ads over whatever TH-cam puts in automatically on my videos just to try to make money, but I know that is probably what people think. I have lost several subscribers lately and this is probably why most of them unsubscribed. I will keep looking into it until I can get some answers for everyone!
The ads are for those who don't pay for You Tube. Since I view this medium as unlimited tutorials on a myriad of subjects, I decided long ago to become a paid subscriber to You Tube and I never see any ads.
