Unedited videos and sharing of inspiration on how to create visual reminders to stay present in the moment and appreciate the beauty that holds the power of connection and evoking change. I believe that everyone is creative and it was not that long ago that I first picked up a paintbrush. I quickly fell in love with the practice and it's become my daily passion that has moved me into a full-time working artist. I have a focus on watercolour, acrylic and mixed media painting.
I purchased their maple ll in metallics (I don't see them on the website right now). I have to say I was disappointed as they don't show up on watercolor paper. Perhaps they would on black. I tried layering on darker watercolors - they just don't show up. Maybe I just don't know how to use them.
I love watching you choose your colours and seeing how you move your brush to apply them. You are a very good teacher so thank you for sharing your talent with us 🌺
Yes, your videos are very relaxing. Like you I started my art with journals and stamps, stencils etc. I progressed through different mediums - acrylic painting and now watercolor. I "stumbled" upon your videos and loved your style. I think because I love what watercolor does - blending and running together almost with a mind of its own. I am copying much of your style and thanks for offering that. I so appreciate how much you give!
A definite help in picking colors. I ordered Maple Sparkle 11 and it should be here on the 28th. I appreciate this video because I would like to order a couple more colors (non sparkly) but they are so expensive. So this was helpful. I liked the second option of primary colors - now I will feel good about ordering these. Thanks.
Thank you so much, I am enjoying your videos! Idea - the white page could be used to take notes and swatches so you can reference later. I don't know about you, but at times I forget what medium, method or colour I used!
I am 9 months into my art journey - and have already seen improvements. Have you considered creating your own art journal? I would love to see how you can create and market art journals to partner with your art poetry. Just a thought.
Wonderful to feel that way only after 9 months of creating. thanks for sharing. Yes- I keep many art journals and sketchbooks- I love the process of recording ideas and "playing" in books.
I hope after all this time you are beginning to realize that your understanding of how we deal with our own individual anxiety and fears and sharing your own contributes to our own growth. Your passion is clear and resonates with so many. You should be proud - you are authentic.
I just read about Beam Paint Stones, thank you, I love the idea of 'no plastic' the colours are contained in waxed canvas! Brilliant. I love your chat while painting and selecting colours.
I started a full life reset in April. I am almost done the physical reset. It has been cathartic. The only criteria - does it bring me joy, does it have use? If not - donate. Two car loads later... lol. But it is such a wonderful feeling!
Hi Jackie, I quickly watched the video to see which ones you were referring to. Hoping we are talking about the same ones. I got them at Michael’s in Canada and they come in several different sizes and have a strong magnet on the back. Studio decor magnetic frames , 3.5x5inches, is a descriptor you can try to search.
Currently going through your videos, I like hearing you talk about what, how etc. This inspires me to take time out for me. I like your format and length of vid.
Allison, my daughter is trying to buy the oracle deck for my birthday but she tells me that the shipping cost is £25.+ and she is not sure if there are custom fees also. Is this correct as unfortunately I don’t think she can afford it, which I’m so upset by. X
Hi Sasha, I’ve just sold out of my deck but there is a wait list on my website and I can answer your questions if you email me the destination of the deck. each country is different and each address. Thanks
There are many great teachers. it depends on your area of interest- watercolour/ mixed media/acrylic/oil…. Have you checked out the classes at Kensington Art Supply? I’ve taken one class through them, and the rest I take online.
Allison, I just discovered you a few days ago and I'm so happy I did! I absolutely love this painting - it really makes me smile. I'll be 80 next year and all of this is new to me; I know it's not as easy as you make it look, but I'm excited to try. Can you let us know what paper pad you're using, asnce you indicated it wasn't cotton, which is a bit pricey for me. I can't wait to see more videos!
I ordered from Beam Paints recently and I was being probably a difficult customer because I changed my order after placing it. It got a little messed up and Beam’s customer service was AMAZING!!! They completely took care of me! It’s rare to see this level of customer service these days. I’m so grateful you shared this company with your community - they’ve more than earned my continued support!!!
I just love your content, and I learn so much! Last night dreamed of saying goodbye to someone important to me - I dreamt about it in art. 🖼️ I thought that was pretty amazing. As a newbie, I hope one day I can create it IRL.
I love watching you paint. I could watch you for hours!! I have not done mixed media for sometime, concentrating on watercolor painting. However, I veered back after watching your videos as well as other artists'. I'm excited at the idea of mark making on top of watercolor backgrounds, and I'm having fun with it. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas You are such an inspiration!
Hello. This is the 1st time I've come across your channel. You have a new subscriber. I enjoy your storytelling and creative process. You make me want to really dedicate some time to my art journaling especially while dealing with some deep feelings that are difficult to write about. Thank you for deciding to post to RU-vid and setting up your channel. You are an inspiration. ❤🥰
