I think it turned out before it looks like a landscape… Like a stormy ocean and a stormy sky turned out really really pretty. I love you determination in your eye for not accepting the first time and being willing to dig and figure it out to you truly love it. I love that about you.
Wise words dear Karen! I love your deconstructed landscape. I see a firey sky and it’s amazing ! I love the movement in your piece today too. Just gorgeous! ❤
Hi Karen, I'm sorry I didn't get to say proper goodbye in Dublin, I had a fantastic time in your classes, and feel I learned a lot. My main issues here at home were all adressed in the classes, including my poor options of hair blower in Denmark.😅 Thank you so much for putting in the time and hard work, to come all the way to Europe. 🙏 Also im so very greatful that I was so lucky to pick the bag with your art at the raffle, it is one of my absolute favorite of you're art pieces, I'm just sooo lucky it's in my living room right now. 😍 And the paints are beautiful and have been on my wishlist on Amazon for a while, and the bracelet match the painting and paint, I swear it must have been put together by faith just for me. ❤ I love this piece, I already have some paints mixed up for later today, but after watched this video, I rewatch while mixing a paynes grey and a purple piggie, I'm all over the place with ideas now. 😂 Thank you so much for sharing, it's very inspiring and your giggles are just contagious. Have a great day, a great trip to Next event and a great holiday. 🌞
It’s a cake spinner with a piece of MDF sitting on top. The cake spinner is in my Amazon shop under paint supplies. Link is in the description section.
I like a lot but I am posting my comment at 17min into your video so I don't yet know it you're how keep or. I think the grayish lacing on the middle/top left seems to resemble animal print... super cool. Welp, lets sea what you do why by rest of the video.
I wonder why I’m always seeing objects in the paintings. I love it, starting at 11:12 - your first real spin, it looks like a puppy emerging from the colors. Also looks like sun rays all around the sides but after you stop the spin it’s gone. Looks fantastic,,,
Hello Karen !! 🥰 I love soo much this piece and the new Toy 😄. The colors are amazing and the design is so beautiful too. ❤💙❤ Happy vacancy to you dear Karen. 🥳
I feel like I know you well by now! The moment I saw that big white blob in the center I thought "she's gonna hate that". And yes, it took you some time but in the end... "out it goes!" 😂😂😂 the end result looks beautiful!
Love your work. I've been watching videos and slowly buying supplies for 4 months. Tomorrow I paint for the 1st time. Thank you for sharing so much with us. You're a sweetheart. ❤😊
Hello Karen, A long work for do this amazing piece. 💙🧡 For me this piece is amazing. Don't destroy it. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank You soooo much to Haved choice to share this video. 🥰 I love to see you work and correct some part. I lurn so much when I see and understand you. 💙🧡🧡💙
Love the colours I agree with you the sky could use a flip cup with the blues but you would have a ridge when it dries🙁 maybe try to paint it on with a brush then varnish it or resin it and it will be stunning. I know you will make it beautiful! Love and peace from NB Canada!
