+Shari Kreller What type of paint did you use? Did you use a sponge or a piece of paper towel to blend your colors? Thank you.

+celebgossip hi - i'm using acrylic paint and used a sponge to blend the colors together. I hope this helps - thanks for watching

Merci - Shari

Hi there - thank you for watching the video - sorry for the delayed response. I used a few tools for this piece. I started with sponging which I really like to blend colors. I wanted to smooth out the sponging technique with a soft brush. My favorite tool is a simple puddle knife which is what I used in the end. I also like using a spray bottle with just water to allow paint to run. I hope this helps. Would love to see you work. Cheers Shari

sorry for the delayed response - I use a sponge to blend the paint - thank you for your comments and watching

+Stella Mejia thank you for watching :-)

+juliana colli gracias - su acrílico - cuidar

Hi Brenda - thank you for watching. I hang my canvases on the wall with screws placed strategically so I can hang different sizes. I use screws because the head is thicker and catches better on the wood frame. I hope this helps Cheer Shari

Hi and sorry for the delayed response. I don't usually add anything to my paints unless it's a little water. I use the spray bottle to help keep the paint wet so i can blend it. Sometimes if too dry i add additional paint. As for the tool, i bought some paint trowels if that's what you call them from the art store - mostly used for oi. they have many different edges and enjoy using them. I use to use the good old puddy trowel from Homedepot and still do. It's my favorite. Some other fun thing you can do is use ordinary stuff from around the house... BBQ sauce brush, plain piece of cardboard, bubble wrap ... you name it. Just try and it and see what it will create. thanks for watching Cheers Shari

+Deana Khoshaba thanks for your comments and sorry for the delay - i have been painting for about 4 years - but use to draw and paint back in high school - I get inspiration and techniques from watching people on line and trying new things... glad you took the time to watch the video... and thank you again for your kind words :-)

+Madu Batuwangala my apologies for the late response - not sure how i missed all the comments on the video - I use acrylics - easier to clean up :-). The piece took me between 3-4 hours - thank you very much for watching - and keep drawing :-)

Hi Kathy the music is from a CD I bought called Spanish Cafe by the Artist Rebecca Arons... lovely music. Thanks for watching Cheers Shari

shelli gibbs thank you for watching Cheers Shari

+Kevin effner I Kevin, thanks for your question. I just put screws in the fake wall I built - I placed them strategically so i could get at least 2-3 screws to hag a large canvas on. Because i used large screws the head of the screw fits nicely under the wood of the frame. I hope this helps Cheers Shari

+Anita Lataille Hi Anita - i did not water down my acrylics for this piece. I did however use a spray bottle to keep things moist while I blended colors. Thanks for watching Cheers Shari

+Carlos Palmeira obrigado

thank you :-)

Hi and sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for your kind words. I actually love to watch other artist paint. Then i try their technique and create something beautiful. I love using a sponge because to doesn't quite blend the color completely and leaves each color chosen the remain in its own way. Thanks for watching Cheers Shari

Hi Jiou, I paint with emotion and mood if that helps. I wanted to paint a picture based on my friends interaction and inspiration of crows. I usually pic colors I want to use and go with the flow to see what is created. Not an official picture in mind - but more a feeling.. Not sure if this helps Thanks for watching Shari

Hi Jesse - the canvas is 38x30x1.5 Cheers Shari

Thanks Ellen - to be honest I remember the conversation. My sister called about my mother who was in the hospital (not life threatening by any means) but knew it was in important call. I also knew I couldn't stop my session at the time until I blended the colors to where I wanted them and then take a break. You are not the first person to mention this. I will cut this out next time. My bad . Thanks for watching - greatly appreciate it Cheers Shari

Shari Kreller I don't think it's annoying. It doesn't prevent to enjoy your creativity. Love all of your works. I wish you a lot of inspiration))

+Anita Lataille yes - thanks for watching

thank you for watching my video. Yes it has meaning to me, perhaps not everyone. If you read my write up about the piece it's about three crows who inspires a friend of mine who writes. I hope this provides some insight Cheers Shari

Let’s see what you can do, it’s a great painting. She doesn’t need to copy other artists and makes her own rules, which work brilliantly for me. Show us what you can do better!

@@PatriciaLloydMorris I would bùt then you have to raise your IQ 20 points...

@@xxxrdc I see, one of those are you. ? This is about enjoying a painting, not trying to score points. If you had a reasonable IQ yourself you wouldn’t be so shallow.. Don’t bother responding as I am not interested in engaging with you in petty point scoring.

So who is replying if not you? OCD much...some People are so disconnected with their own narrative Must be a toxic interlude in action

@@xxxrdc guess.. vertically challenged misogynistic male with small attributes, large ego, large mouth, no talents or social graces….. hence need to degrade others for ego boost. End of stupid interactions now apart from saying that I have a First in Fine Art from Cambridge University and am a successful Human Rights Lawyer so I’m happy with my IQ. Look me up on Lidiken.

thanks for watching

+Mary Bell thanks for watching sorry you feel that way
