Oh my goodness, I just love how busy and productive your cabin is!!! Very inspiring! I couldn't agree more that art, now, more than ever, is so necessary and cathartic. Anni Albers said," ART is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness". Can't help thinking that if more people engaged in art practices, the world would be a much nicer place. Just love the energy you are putting out, Gaynor. It really motivates me. Thank you.🥰
Thank you Beverley, this is my pre-christmas all out painting time before I have to put the paint down ! I absolutely love the Anne Albers quote, thank you XX Have a wonderful week X
Wonderful and inspiring as ever Gaynor. Thank you. The cabin is a feast for the eyes 🤩 watching you work and catching glimpses of your other pieces dotted around makes for an enriching viewing. Love the three you moved, the set of 4 green, white and brown floral with the 4th that has a white chair. Mentioned in a previous comment that I love the one with a brown rose. Didn’t see the sink/basin, how is it coming along? Hope it’s okay. Have a great week in your cosy cabin of creativity 🙏🏻😍🙏🏻
I love all the comments here, they very much reflect my own pleasure and enjoyment of watching your videos each week, Gaynor. With every one, I am inspired and encouraged. Thank you.
Yes I agree, with tensions so high, I do believe creating thought provoking Art 🎨 is a guiding lantern for these perilous times. Thank you again for your continued efforts to bless you and others through the creativity process. 💖
I am so over the moon that I found you and your very unique art style! I love your boats and finally found your video. Wow they look so easy but they are not. I actually finally drew one that looked similar, just cut it out and collated it on. Your videos just make me happy and excited about art again. I just turned 78 this month and am trying new things. A Big Thanks to you ❤❤
great video again Gaynor.Wow you get through so much and such variety. loved the gloves clip so funny to see the surprise on your face. stay warm and have a good week x
I love your boat series. Very proud of you, watching you channel grow daily. I never get bored watching your videos and your enthusiasm for your work is quite inspiring ❤
I only found your videos a few days ago. I am hooked. I truly like your process and I particularly admire your fearlessness! What sort of beautiful art can we bring forth when we abandon fear? THANK YOU Gaynor, Welshman Russell, from Mexico.
Your little dark cabin works are delightful! We are in the process of moving so my supplies are buried DEEP in the black hole somewhere. Anxious to get back to my art in a new studio and painting with Gaynor!! Soon…few more days!!
❤ I totally agree that our hearts can't be separated from all the sadness around us now But we can create something beautiful to share with the world. God bless you.
Gaynor, when I watch your videos, you make me want to get up and go to my - very cold - studio and paint! I don't like the cold so I brought some things to my dinning room table. Thank you for your inspiration and, most of all, your energy
Always such a delight (and inspiration) to watch you work. Art is so cathartic, even the process of cleaning up, and preparation, something we change, even re-work and allows us to express and let out feelings. Thank you so much for sharing with us and bringing us so much joy!
Lovely pick me up tonic this morning on a wet and windy grey day. Keep creating, I very much love thursday mornings. Ps love the little house painting.
Gosh I just love watching you create! Your process makes sense and letting things ‘rest’ makes so much sense. In many aspects of life this works I find. Here , my oldest finished her next to last semester of college today. We have decorated for Christmas and the weather is colder for sure. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and week G! 👋🏻 Roxanne from Atlanta, GA 😊
Hello Rachel, one thing is for sure.....sketching boats is easier than painting and scaling up! I'm taking two steps forward and one back BUT I'm learning and enjoying little discoveries !!! Have a lovely weekend X
@@gaynorpattle And you too! Gaynor! I find boats so difficult and I don't wish to sound mean but I found it quite heartening to see that you too had to change the position of your boat. I recently did a little collage painting and the prow of the boat was so troublesome, I moved it about 3 times!
I love getting up on Thursday to get a coffee watch your video. I go for a second viewing while reading the other comments. It is so fun to see that others get so much out of the work. More than anything you bring joy and inspiration. I thank you for giving us beautiful art, inspiration, a technique we may have not thought of, energy and a bright smile. My Thursdays are always better for watching your week’s worth of work. Wishing you a great week both painting and life in general.
Just been watching this video again... always inspiring as they all are.... and decided to Google how to pronounce gouache, its a surprise!.... goo-uhsh with emphasis on first syllable. Happy painting xx
I love the joy and invitation to go with the flow and see what happens when you come to your artwork that's very freeing to me thanks for sharing Gaynor 😊❤
Thank you so much Gaynor. I find you and your process so inspiring. Committing to working everyday on my art always seems to take a back seat to other things. Discipline without angst is very much needed and watching you create week after week May just make it happen.
gwash...😁I am an old lady artist who totally gets your process. And it is wonderful for you to share how you work. I think your impatience is a result of your brain speeding ahead of your hand. And the results are stunning.
Wow! You have Turtledoves! I have several pairs as they are made in my local town - Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Love them. Your 3 little paintings have so much texture, almost tactile. Boatie is going to be great, would making the boat bigger like in your sketches help? Oh, and you always look so chic Gaynor, I'm usually in a fleece and lounge pants 😂
You lucky, lucky gal !!! crumbs, I'd blow the budget if I lived near T D's !!. I am already realising the boat needs to grow !! Thank you for a lovely compliment, you are very kind XX
Please make you videos loooonnngggeeerrr 😊 I love your process and paintings. The big boat painting is lovely. It feels to my as if the boat is hanging in the air and all the time watching I say to you "Ground the boat Gaynor" good thing you can not hear me 😂
Hello Gaynor. Thank you for another lovely video. The seascapes are interesting with the boats. Looks like you are having fun and and I can’t wait to see where you go with them. I especially love how you chop and change, and fully understand the concept of having a few things on the go at once to flip between. Just one complaint though….when you offer up the sketchbook work it’s so fast and far away, it’s a tease😏 😂
Hi Fiona, I will be more aware....because the camera doesn't zoom so well, I am trying to place photographs and sometimes I completely forget. Not meant to tease. Have a great week X
Hello Gaynor, I am with you that abstract Art is more difficult. In my opinion a good abstract piece can only be Born if you let you inner Voice come through. You Need to want to Share something what you cannot stay otherwise. Only than it will be good. I made one which took me days to get out during a painting course. Everytime somebody would look it was different.first random, than wild, than chaos, at the end 20 layers to be organized with all Kind of Talking through the layers. Abstract cannot be fast Art. A good piece needs time to develop, sometimes even a year. It is Great to follow your Channel, i picked up your idea to paint the Cover of the sketchbook and that is Great fun. Thanks for Sharing all your fantastic ideas. Irina
Have you done your card, Gaynor and I missed it? I find watching your process with the card-making very inspirational. Along with painting, of course. I do love the two little paintings side by side; the painting of the abstract paper piece along with the ‘cottage’ painting. They look great together - looking at them feels like they tell a story.
Hello Maria, I put a photograph of a few finished cards on the video....the cards are ongoing for me ! As a child I adored being given picture cards and then being asked to write a story. As I paint sometimes a story starts to appear !! I love that. Thank you so much for watching and taking time to leave a very lovely comment 🥰
I just love your small canvas paintings. In fact, they inspired me to go to Michaels to buy a few canvases but I was overwhelmed by the choice and had to come home to think about it. It will happen! but just being in the art shop was exciting enough. LOL I am working on a large piece of textile art and it's difficult to think small and in a different medium when I'm in that zone. It is an important piece so I must stay focused! I love boat and water scenes and I have made many textiles of them. I always struggle with the boat shapes but they come. Now I look forward to painting them perhaps also including some of my dyed fabric. It's exciting to have new ideas to look forward to in the new year and they will percolate until then. Thanks so much for being so inspiring and excited about your art. S x
Hello Sharon..I can hear your excitement and that is so fantastic. Work on paper - different small sizes before you choose canvas ? Enjoy your textile piece Sharon, everything else is waiting !!! Have a wonderful week X
Very enlightening ! Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us! It has always been hard for me to understand that warm colors, Yellow, red, orange and combinations always with varying amounts of white, come forward and cool colors, dark blue, purple, green and combinations with black recede. Shadows also have color and the same rules apply with shadows. All painting, be it representational or abstract or all of the possibilities in between, are about the illusion of creating shape and space with depth in color or value on a flat plain or the denial of that illusion. It is a struggle. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Jerry, I have only just found this message sent 1 month ago !! Apologies for not replying sooner....thank you so much for watching and taking time to write....you are right it is a struggle but so worth it !!
I absolutely love this video. This is such inspiration to me. I thoroughly enjoy watching you work through your process. My process is so similar to yours. I did get so inspired by your boats, started a study in oil with a boat just like one of yours….so calming …these boats….
I’m just watching this one today and wanted to tell you it made me so happy to hear your excitement over Turtle Doves. My cousin founded that company! 🥰
ive just watched yr video again,i love how you are so bold and bravr in how you apply the paint. Im way too tight so im going to take a leaf out of your book and justGOFOR IT. ❤❤🖐👍👍
Hi Andrea, I find it really helps if I remind myself that I'm just experimenting and when it gets tricky, I can stop - things ALWAYS look different the next day !! Good luck X
Wow, Gaynor, you are just cranking out the work so quickly right now!! I am totally in AWE of your productivity! I share the same implusive and impatient gene with you, but I haven''t gotten nearly as busy making art as you have done in the past few weeks, my life outside of art is way too hectic right now! I'm particularly loving the boat series! The trip you went on recently really inspired you with the water and boats, well done indeed!!
Hello Deanna, Subconsciously I am thinking that Christmas is coming and I will have to leave the paint alone - so I need to take every opportunity....AND the art gets banished from every surface in the house !!!! Have a wonderful week XX
Thank you, Gaynor for another wonderful visit. You encourage me to "hang in there" as well and inspire me to try new things. Marvelous, how you dive right in and change something that doesn't seem quite right. Moving boats and oceans is heavy going - brava!
I feel so accomplished today. I started working in my (handmade) concertina and then moved on to my card stock. I was able to loosely sketch a tree with paint, adding a darker layer on the top and then with my fingers adding white to the shape. It was brilliant! The whole thing came together quickly, surprisingly. I didn’t have to agonize over every mark. And it’s all thanks to you. I didn’t add glitter 🤪 but I punched out some gold dots and glued them on top. And presto- one beautiful card done! You ask for helpful hints. So I will say I think your boat looks rather small on your large canvas, just my opinion… Have a wonderful week!
Hi Patricia, reading your message is fantastic ! You are completely right about the boat, I realised I'd have to grow it 😂 And I do welcome all advice, so thank you for saying XXX
Your work-and your process-inspire me greatly. I’m moving toward the multiples in progress model for sure. I just need to create a logical physical space where I can see multiples as you’ve created in the cabins. Thank you so much!!
I adore boat scenes and your approach is wonderful.I like that you have a number of reference paintings to work from and what a great idea to actually paint or sketch a boat and place it on to your existing painting!Fab idea…would never have thought of that!!Your work is so inspiring and I’m learning so much from you.Thank you so much for sharing.Must say I love Rocket!What a little darling!!❤
@@gaynorpattle Ah bless little Rocket..tell him I’m his number one fan!lol!Great name by the way!Thanks for sharing your work Gaynor,I’m slowly going through your videos and learning so much,I’m one of those people who has all the paints etc but need that push,doesn’t make sense to have a fear of doing something you love!!So your help on artist block etc really helps!Really love carefree style and approach…thank you for helping me and I’m looking forward to more videos!!❤️
Loved the hand warmer unboxing shock! 😂 I really enjoyed looking your art process Gaynor, seeing how you took various elements from the inspiration board of your pictures, to make your boat painting to create something different. I've being doing my painted paper collage this week on an A4 wooden panel but after watching you numerous times on here Gaynor, next year I want to go LARGE!!! Ha ha!!! Hope you have a lovely arty week. x
@@gaynorpattlethank you! I binge watched you yesterday! I'm in Australia, and I love watching UK artists. It looks beautiful where you live. I'm Nell not Neil. I had to tell you. But you're not the first to read my name as Neil 😂 x Nell 😊
I am sure I was blinded by the artwork but please explain how you are mounting the watercolor paper with acrylic paint? Thank you. I totally enjoy watching and learning from Chicago IL. Cheers!
Hi Linda, I attach my painted paper to a backing board and place the mount (mat) on top and that can either go in a frame under glass or in cello to be sold as unframed work X
Hello Trixi, I usually paint them white, they sit in tray frames with deep sides, so not that visible. I have a few old paintings on box canvases without frames in the house and those I painted to match the main image. 😊
Hello Connie, I guess it depends on how they are tied to anchor bouys, the wind, the tide etc I will pay more attention the next time I get to the coast 😊
Hi Christine, well spotted ! I will see if there is a sketch pointing right.....perhaps, subconsciously, I'd find it easier to climb aboard....you've got me wondering now ! Have a great weekend 🥰
