Handpainting Vincent Van Gogh The Starry Night on a lampshade tutorial 

So kind Cathy.... Yes it's good to narrow down a method if you want to try and copy an artists style... Vincents was lots of small lines so then just try to work in the same way x x. Thanks do much for watching Cathy x

Yes your right if you research most artists they all had sad lifes.... And painting is such a happy thing.... I hope I don't end up going mad, although some people think that's already happened...... 😂 I hope your well, much love Lel x

Awww I think the starry night has touched many creatives.... Glad you enjoyed this and your niece's art sounds fabulous Lel x

Thank you so very much, what a kind comment, thanks so much for watching. ❤️❤️🙏✨✨

@@MadebyMarley Awe! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do it! But it’s the truth , it is a beautiful gift from God! And He gave your art for others to behold! Only telling the truth! Love your creations, they are All beautiful! And I know you never have trouble , each one you want to sell is sold asap upon posting them! You truly are an amazing Artist!!! God Bless and Keep you and yours

Honestly Lisa I went into this just relaxing and having a bit of fun, I could never ever do the painting justice. However as I said if you kinda get it like the original when it comes to colours and sone movement then the eye recognises it. You could do this as I found if I didn't like a part I just changed it while the paint was wet..... I struggled with the trees.... 😂😂😂

Twirly stools are awesome for trim, I found it out onceas I was struggling I thought of my stool and never looked back 😂

Shirlene that is way to kind, honesty I don't feel I deserve it. However I'm so very grateful for your support. Love Lel x

Glad you enjoyed it Eve, even if the filming at the end wasn't quite good enough.... Its tricky when I'm not in the stable x

@@MadebyMarley thank you. i hear you. hugs.

Oh you would enjoy the group we are currently working on a distressed Indian finish then we are doing blending and I'm sending free paper for you to do this so if you join you can blend along at home x x

Oh I know I thought it might be slightly to much but then had a word with myself.... Are there ever to much of feathery trims!!!

I'm glad you like my hair... I'm not sure what might be next I though about a blue 😂😂😂😂

You should feel brave, treat it like a fun project. Don't over think it and don't worry about it. If it doesn't quite work out you are still learning often by even having a go helps you learn what not to do next time. More importantly it shows you all the things that went right. You don't need to show anyone just keep it quite till you get it the way you want it. The good thing is it's only a light shade if there are parts you don't love paint them out and re do them and you can do this over and over till you are happy...... You have got this, you can do it.....

Thanks Dar.... I really enjoyed doing this week's it was a little break from crawling around the floor x x

Marla and you are so very kind, you have been through so much and I greatly admire you. And feel very honoured that you watch me x x

Thanks so much Maryka, it was a bit of fun and I found it very relaxing x x

It was difficult to film eve, sorry that it wasn't quite right for you. There was no real room to turn it I had to film it in my house. X

@@MadebyMarley i see. no worries. thank you. hugs.

You can do it fern, you truly can. You are just starting your journey, I will revisit where you are in a year from now and see if you feel the same ..... Its all about confidence. This lamp shade really was very simple just a lot of splashes dots and brush strokes.... You can do anything. I've seen what you have already achieved..... Just keep going and keep practicing it will all fall into place x x

Hey Fern, That carrying case could never have been done by a second grader. Neither could that knitting basket. Maybe you wouldn't start with Van Gogh, but something simpler. I've done two drawings, though did them years ago, and was amazed by how good they were You know why? I turned the images I was copying upside down Try it. I promise you'll be shocked by the result. I'd never drawn anything in my life before. I'm wondering now why I've never done it again. 🙄 I forget why it works. I think I got the idea from the book Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain ❤

I didn’t think I could be a nurse… but I signed up for it. I knew I could handle the personal side of it but was worried about the fast pace ER life and death in a moment kinda stuff. So I graduated and realized I was’t going to be the life and death nurse but what I could be was an intimate one on one kinda nurse. So I started on a regular floor and learned the craft by watching others. I decided in that space what I wanted to do. I went to the best university in the US for my chosen specialty. Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. My program director there wrote the textbook on continence nursing. So I learned from the best which gave me my foundation to be a Certified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse. All I did for the next 26 years was issues of the human body concerning pee, pus and poop. There are only a few of us in this specialty. My point is I knew I wanted to teach… I knew pee, pus and poop did t bother me… I knew that if a person had just had the most horrible week of their life… a diagnosis of colon cancer waking up with a colostomy pouch… I could help. In the end it wasn’t that I was really good at it. It was that it didn’t embarrass me and I could sit next to that patient and explain in a way they could understand. My expertise was in the care of that specific patient and that need… one at a time… thousands of time over a career of 30+ years. If I made a difference for someone once or twice it was enough. You take your time, practice, watch the expert. You will get it because you are here… just where you need to be. We all have talent.

Thanks Linda, I didn't want to do something to much on the ground as my back was playing up, so I thought I would go for a relaxing project...... Yes I like that lady painting although she's quite masculine around the jaw line.... 😂

@@MadebyMarley I think I am too although my jawline is lower than it used to be...just like everything else 🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha I don't I hand painted it..... Don't look to closely x

Why? If I believed in an afterlife, I think Van Gogh would be pleased. I think he'd like that you put your own spin on his painting. I wouldn't dare. to do try had painting an entire lampshade 😮 I'm happy to stick to your paper. Xoxo

Thanks Barb, for watching and commenting x ❤️❤️❤️

Oh yes be fearless jump in..... And see where it all goes x

Thanks Glenda x x

Thanks so much for watching x

Thanks Deb, I hope you are well x

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was actually turned on in the photo but it's not easy to film it gives a lovely muted light through the shade and saturate the ceiling and floors with light.... Second yes you could dark wax it of course but remember that will slightly darken the colours just clear wax first x x

If you have a dark painting and you wax it is best to use a dark cloth… you don’t want a light cloth because it could leave a light lint over the pint. Same is true for light colors you want to apply wax with a lighter colored cloth not a black t shirt. This what I thought you might be asking?

Yes I explained I spray sealed it with spray sealer.... I also explained that way it can be wiped with a damp cloth x Thanks so much for watching and leaving a kind comment x

@@MadebyMarley Well there you go, I totally missed it! Thank you for answering me regardless. New sub here & am loving your videos! Thank you again for answering my question!

Marty and I have been to the imersive vincent exhibition last year it was amazing..... Totally amazing. Like being in the paintings. Like most artists recognition came to late and he had such a hard life and struggled with his mental health. Like so many artists went a little mad..... Maybe I'm on the verge of madness already sydni.....😂 Glad you enjoyed this one, it's a little diffrent and a wee bit of inspiration for those who don't feel brave enough to give these things a go. Love as always Lel x .

I agree with Sydni always…. Lucretia aka ToddyLu

@@toddylu6869 As I always agree with YOU!
