Absolutely gorgeous paintings. Glad you chose this subject. Hope I can paint all three. Painted a clown fish in my early years in oils but these are so much better. Waiting for my smudgy brushes to also I can try your background technique. Thank you Ginger and Jon for all the wonderful help and support.
I love those Golden smudgie brushes, I bought them the first time you recommended, and I just bought 2 more sets. :) Prior to watching this, I thought for sure you must have used absorbent ground. I have followed you since I think around 2008 :) Thank you for all of these wonderful free lesson. I even won #22 or the quarantine quickies . Love you guys!!
this is so nice . I bought more of the brushes too and then I went to their website and ordered the smudgies made of goat hair too as I wanted to try those which are supposed to be good for dry brushing, but they smudge really good too I really think we can get almost the same absorbent ground effect with these. Glad you liked the show and thanks for the kind words.
Really enjoyed this tutorial. Is the "bear" painting you showed a tutorial? Would love to see that done. It would make a great painting at the trailer 😁
Yes its being released this next in the Academy for Red and Purple members or will be for sale as a stand alone downloadable lesson. www.paintingwithginger.com
My goodness! What a stunning painting Ginger!! LOVE this!!! As usual your painting is more beautiful than the reference!! ( And the reference photos are truly beautiful as well! ) So enjoyed watching the tutorial!! Artsy hugs! 🥰
Wow Ginger, beautiful painting, great colours , it’s like looking into an Aquarian YOU ARE THE BEST. 🙏for your time and a big thank you to Jon as well. HAH
Ginger and Jon: I can say, with a grateful heart, thank you so much for tonight’s tutorial where you showed how easily seashells are created! I’ve been asking and you heard. And need to tell you how excited I am that you shared the idea of “smudgies” with us. And the Golden Maple brushes. I am finding that I am not as uptight when I paint using the phenomenal smudge brushes. Finally, wish to thank you for not, “editing out,” when you have to make a correction! I have learned so much about how to correct my own errors because you are so honest with us. Really enjoyed this evening’s tutorial!!! Again, my gratitude to you both for the fine broadcasts and your honest approach.
Wow Ginger, the colours in tonight's painting are so beautiful. To me the painting has a soft water colour look. How wonderful two Companion Images, fantastic! I almost made it to the very end, but hubby needed me. Thank you Ginger and Jon for another fabulous Monday night tutorial. TTFN HAH 🎨🖌🫶

Just received my smuggie brushes and got some for an art friend. I think this painting would be a good one to break them in on. Thanks Ginger! He is adorable!!
This fish was so fun it will look great next to my turtle in the Airbnb! It was such a treat to win the drawing! I will send the cottage in for Personal Art Coaching. The last weeks all the paintings are ones I want to do, especially the willow tree and this clown fish. Thank you, Jon, and team for all you do!
I absolutely loved this painting tonight. I was so impressed with how you made this look like a water color painting with how you applied the paint and used your brush. There is never a time when I watch you paint that I do not learn something. Thanks to both you and Jon for all that you do for each one of us in the art community. You are both amazing.
Ginger and Jon, I have to watch on replay. And just want to say thank you so much for bringing us another beautiful painting. We appreciate everything you do for the community.
Also can you do a sketchbook video? If you keep one I mean ..there are people I want to listen to your videos there great like I’m organizing my makeshift studio in my bedroom since the grandkids came I gave my space up but the Lord is blessing me with a brand new space my husband is building .❤(gradually buying the lumber I hope to have it up before snow flies in Michigan)
Ginger you’re speaking of Paris Hilton I think . See Dr Phill endorsed these camps. And don’t feel so bad for these parents that sent there kids there they were the Hollywood elite Paris protects her family in the media concerning her parents but would you have sent your cinnamon to any camp without being able to feel as mom there was something not right? I think the parents even if and when told they probably were up to no good when Paris was young I was as well I think I may be 5 yrs older than she but from what u understand it was like the movies Blow in California back then I mean her parents were friends with the famous woman Charles Manson murdered “Sharon Tate” also friends with OJ Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson. I’m glad to be have born lower lower class I’m glad because my kids were protected from things I was not. My parents seemed either to drunk or high to care Like we were bothering them. Not my mom my mom was just busy working and raising my little sisters she shown us as much love as she could . She later developed a drinking problem but I was raised by aunts and a grandma who was a drunk bad things did happen as kids you just don’t open your mouth we would have hams a mouth left. So I as a mother was to lacking never making my girls clean and doing things for them which doesn’t work great because now I’m raising my grandkids ( but let me say this is very nice both ways I’m raising them to see the way the world actually works within reason I mean. Sometimes we need to break generational curses your stories are so charming so very charming I want to share and put in bold lettering the best stories to do art by!!!❤ and your husband is a sweetie calling you my queen xoxoxo!
I also bought phthalo green yellow shade. Used it one time & didn't like it. Fortunately I only bought 1 tube 😄 Also I have found a color pretty close to cad orange by mixing magenta with cad yellow.
Thanks for sharing. Jon got me 3 tubes one time of the yellow phthalo green and I am stuck with them. Perhaps I will use some of it on your painting I will be doing soon. Hugs, Ginger
Miss Ginger.... ❤❤❤❤ was looking on how to "repaint" a plastic toy I bought at the dollar store.... cast iron ribbed griddle with eggs and bacon... making it a frig magnet.... your realism and colors inspire me.... thank you for that
Awesome. We had one lady paint this on a wooden cutting board and it looks so real you could eat the eggs. She had a hole in the top neck of the board with a loop rope and hung it on the wall.
Sorry, this was the first chance I've had to tell you how lovely Monday's painting is. It's one of those painting were you wish you could step into and spend the day there, a very happy place. Thank you Ginger and Jon for a really lovely tutorial. HAH 🎨🖌🫶
Ginger and Jon. Thank you for this. I love the dreamy watercolor feel of it. You are right I will keep trying to improve my paintings with every bit of advice you give me. I am one who struggles with the concept of perfection. I want every painting I do to be Ginger adds it to Pinterest worthy. Ah. Dreams.
I watched the replay and loved it! Congrats to all the painting winners! Ginger you've knocked it out of the park once again, beautiful work! Thank you.
