Thanks for the video! The music is beautiful. But for the people who don't understand why it's an issue for some--people with hearing difficulties or people on the autism spectrum can have an almost impossible time hearing the talking through the music, especially if the music volume is above very low--our brains just can't process and filter the speech through it. Artistic pursuits attract a higher percentage of people on the spectrum, and that's probably why it's not uncommon to see comments about "loud" music in art tutorials/demos.

Quynacredone violet is SOOO DELICIOUS! The colours are beautiful, and I love the swirling on the wet paper 💜❤💙🙏. You've inspired me to get out the inks again. Thanks for the video
Hello! Great video, thank you for the info!🥰❤️ It's my first time varnishing anything, so I was wondering about my painting, I've used a stretched canvas, and on it I used acrylics and some watercolor as well, and I'm wondering how to best protect it because I don't want to frame it with glass. So, for my case, should I start off with the fixative spray?(I see you've used the type for pastel) and then do I have to add the Gel you were talking about? I don't plan on doing any collage on it, but I am planning on using some gold permanent ink, so I'm not sure if I should apply that after the fixative and varnsih or before. And should I use anything after the fixative spray? I have satin finish varnish for acrylics, but I'm not sure if I should use it since I've also used watercolor on the canvas, and I'm not exactly sure how to use it if I'm supposed to use it after the fixative spray. Do I dab my brush with a bit of water and then spread the satin varnish on the whole canvas? I'm really nervous about this part, I don't want to ruin my painting 😅🥺 thank you!!
Hi there! What a fun project! Definitely save the varnish for last. It will protect everything & should not be painted over. As for the fixative spray (make sure it is not workable fixative), I would use it over the watercolor before painting over it with acrylic paint or ink, or else it will not stay put. If you want more protection for the watercolor, you could put on a layer of matte gel medium. That can be painted over with any sort of acrylic, but not watercolor. I hope this helps...every project is different. Best is usually to experiment with all your layers on scrap paper. This way, you're sure not to ruin your finished piece.
@@ArtontheBrain thank you so much! I really appreciate your reply with the detailed explanation ☺️ I'm definitely gonna experiment on a different canvas to make sure of everything! I'll grab the gel you were talking about too! Thanks again and have a wonderful day and week 😊🥰
The music drove me nuts. Can you please label your swatches (in marker, not in pencil because we can't read it, even at high def. as I discovered from your other video.) That helps us go back and find different colours to look at them again, without having to rewatch the whole video.
Why do people insist on putting musical backgrounds on videos where they are talking? It's just annoying and distracting. Music is okay where there is no talking, unless it's at very very low volume or turned off when the talking starts. I stopped watching after 5 minutes for that reason.
I have to admit that I've never painted a clay pot. Just to be safe, I would add a layer or two of acrylic varnish. You may not need it, but I always play it safe. 🙂
Very helpful. Thank you. I was gifted a set of the Van Gogh interference and metallic paints and didn’t know anything about interference paints or how to use them.
What has happened to this lady? No more tutorials for over 10 months. I do hope you are well, all the very best, these are wonderful tutorials and you are missed 🌷✏️🎨🖍🌷
Thank you so much. I'm doing fine...I just have a lot going on right now. I probably will make more art videos, but not at the rapid pace I did when I started this channel. We'll see!
The acrylic matte varnish directions on the Blick website say to only use on acrylic. Do I need to be concerned about any damage to a watercolor painting if I use it on that?
Hi! If you follow the directions in my video you should be fine. I've done this for a few years at least, and have had no problems. I think the secret is to use the spray fixative first...this protects the watercolor from coming up when you brush on the medium or varnish.
