Intuitive Mixed Media Painting Lesson 

I love watching peoples first videos- and look where you are now! More power to you. Thank you for sharing with us,

Absolutely loved watching that, georgous playing piece 🥰

Thank you for the lesson I really enjoy your ideas and the way you seem to walk us through the reasons for doing things.

This is absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

Your mountains resembled houses to me. Gave the painting a Chagall village feel.

There is nothing more helpful for an artist than to watch and be inspired by another artist! Love your work!

I really enjoy watching you work!

I enjoy your narrative, and passionate about Impressionism, and Intuitive painting. At 54, I am learning the rules at the same time as I am learning how to break the. I have to just cycle through, and letting my sensibilities and heart serve as guides. Not to mention the innumerable Art People, on all levels, who I have been learning from. I only wish your cam was zoomed too far out for me to watch you paint very much. The Stabilo pencil is still on my art journaling must-haves list, will pick one up soon. I bought loads of watercolor paper, Artist grade. I am now into painting on industry standard quality papers, but as I sat here worked 15 mins on a journal page that has printer paper in it. There is no way I can approach the exercise feeling like it's going to be a good painting. Sorry for the book, I started typing and got carried away. I hope your cam is closer. Will look at more of your videos. Thanks!

I truly enjoyed watching your video. not only watching and learning but its the way and comments you make. its comforting and very informative. thank you.

Your video was a suggestion by RU-vid but what synchronicity! My degree is also in illustration and I've just finished a five week intuitive painting course with Flora Bowley. Like you I'm used to having everything planned for a painting but I'm loving the freedom of intuitive painting. I also loved your video.

Wonderful ! I love this decopaged paper intuitive Artwork awesome. Seeing what in the canvas then bring it out. . NICE colors too same palette colors . To avoid confusion.

Love it. Thanks so much for your inspiring video!

Great first video! ❤

I could not believe you hadn't done a video before this! Well done! I became totally engrossed and the end result is fantastic. I love your commentary, it is SO informative - having you explain about balance and composition is really helpful to someone like me who is learning about art as a mature beginner. My daughter thinks I am strange because I can 'see' faces and forms ( mainly faces ) in almost anything lol. Working my way through your videos and enjoying every inspirational moment. Many thanks x

Wow Ioved watching the whole process! The petals behind the girl reminded me of fairy wings the entire video. Amazing art! Thank you for sharing

thank you Ivy for so generously sharing your beauty, inspiration, grace.

I really enjoyed seeing you pulling the shapes out. Very helpful.

thanks so much, looks great. I love the intuitive process but find some of the stuff still looks a little kitchy or child like and ive been looking for new inspiration and learning which you have provided so well. great work and thanks again.xxx

This is such a wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing! I loved the tip of getting the thicker Titanium White! I think that's been my problem!!!

Such a sweet art talk. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful thoughts and your process!

this was so helpful what a beautiful painting ...

I love your technique. Can't wait to try it myself. Thanks for sharing!

Omg ! Intuitive painting ! That is kind of what I do and I thought I was just lazy and unorganised ! Thank you so much

Your work is wonderful on all your projects. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you for sharing 💕

this is an amazing explanation. thank you.

What a wonderful little painting! I love it!

Enjoyed this so very much, Thank You.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love it. Thanks for sharing. x

What an awesome video. Thank you Ivy!!!

Very good! I loved seeing the figure evolve. I have to try more of this technique. Thank you for inspiring me.

Ivy I loved this whole process! A great FREE tutorial for both advanced and beginner! Excellent FIRST VIDEO 😳 Ur awesome!

Ivy...this is just stunning!!! I loved this entire process!!! Love your work...you need to do more videos.... Love them! :D

Awesome video ! Love how you the background you did just evolved into a beautiful piece of art. I certainly hope you do more videos, your work is very inspiring ! Evelyn

Just so beautiful Ivy, thank you so very much for sharing this piece. You're such an inspiration.💛

Thank you ,I am loving your videos sooooo much...

I would love to see your answers to Beverley Clark White's questions as well (for some reason I can't see them in the comments). No criticism here either, as someone brand new to the art world (at 57!) I am a sponge for new information, and would like desperately to understand, as well. I have been a science and math lover my whole life, and really struggle with not overthinking everything to death to the point of getting nothing done. I understand that this is your first video, fantastic job! As well, you are an excellent teacher and so very pleasant to listen to. New subscriber here!

Wonderful video and piece. It all just made perfect sense.

thank you for this fabulous lesson! I loved watching the process so much, that I immediately decided to go to your website and book a class😊

I just found your channel and I'm awed. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

I loved the video! Learned a lot!

beautiful, also sweet voice, you explain it so sweet and with much detail .....

Beautiful work

Beautiful! Tfs!

Wonxerful lesson. Enjoyed watching your process.

Awesome lesson, thanks for sharing!

Wow, Ivy, I can't believe this was your first video! I really loved it, just found you today. You explain how you're composing so well, and that's an area I really need to work on so I'm glad you helped us understand what you were doing. I love to paint intuitively, I don't know how to paint any other way, so it was an inspiration for me to watch and listen. Thanks so much! I hope you post more. 😊

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

It's brilliant. Thanks for sharing and for free. Liz

Gorgeous 💕

You are amazingly inspiring! Loved how this came together...oh to get to your level one day x

Love it!!!!😍😍😍

I know this is old but wanted to say thanks for sharing this. I’m a little scared to start but you saying that you feel like it is scary and you don’t know if it’s going to work out is making me feel braver. Lol. (Or at least not “I’m scared so I’m not a real artist”)

This is so awesome, tnx for sharing

Oh how I love this video! Just subscribed!

I love this! What a great way to do art. You are very talented!

Really beautiful!

Omg this is so good!Btw I am young artist so this helped me a lot!🖌🖌🖌

Wow this is amazing! So talented. 🎨 Tfs 💕

Congratulations on you first video, love the finished piece, your symbol looks like a lotus which is apt considering this is an intuitive piece, thanks for sharing.

that was excellent! What is the purpose of painting on plaster, specifically? Just to have a smooth surface? Doesn't it potentially crack?

Hello, Ivy. I have recently found your beautiful art, via the classroom at Awsome Art School with @karencampbell. It was actually the encaustics lessons, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I appreciate that this is 4 years ago but wanted to see what else you do. This particular piece is wonderful, so clever to seek out 'the story' or 'journey' of the piece, as you go. Intuitive indeed! I think I struggle with this, however I am slowly trying to "go with it". The perfectionist in me wants it to all be decided and yes ~ perfect. Lol. Letting go is not easy; in art or life in general. Or is that only me? I'm sure it isn't. Anyway, I digress..... Your girl with her doggy companion is gorgeous. I see a free spirit who is perhaps a little shy? Thank you for sharing your experience, tips, knowledge and skills. I shall definitely be back (need to watch the encaustic tutorials in their entirety). Ty. C😊🐾

I just wanted to add a little something about the Stabilo. I have retired after 35 years as a airbrush artist and signpainter. The Stabilo is a main stay tool for a signpainter. It comes in red blue white and black and I think maybe yellow. Yes it writes on anything and unlike a greese pencil you can paint an oil base paint over it and it doesn't show. We used it for layouts when your only going to need one layout. Otherwise you would make a pattern. There are a lot triks of the trade that I bring with me to my fine art. Since it is water soluable I would be careful painting a water base paint over it . it would tend to bleed.

Beautiful TFS xx

Just went to your website and discovered we live in the same city!!!!!

oh my gosh you are amazing

Did you say this was your first video? Wow! Thanks for sharing - just beautiful

Love the video & your intuitive painting is so cute. Never would have thought to paint on the back of a cigar box. I was wondering if you could list the name of the 2 artist you mentioned. Going to replay & see if I catch their names. Thanks for this video.

Your first video, my first time watching you and I subbed! Great page, love how you explained your intuitive process. Tfs.

Amazing work!!! I love the stamp effect! Do you know where I could get one of these sponge brushes with the french writing?

nice!

Can't believe it's your first video. Just stunning. Where are you located?

Your color palette is beautiful! Do you mind sharing the specific colors of Martha Stewart craft paints that you used?

Hi! Amazing art! Love it! And nice way to use credit card😂😂😂 btw i ve noticed there is the same video on your iphone. I wonder how you did it???

Lovely. Where did you get stamp with French writing?

I am trying to find out if you can use the satin paint and also pearl and gloss all together on one pallet.or just use the satin only ?

Hi again lol. Iv just finished watching this Art work come together & i absoloutly love it..im getting a Native American (red idian) vibe from this feels like there tribe would begin with the letter "C" thats the feeling i get from this painting.. but what i wanted to ask you is. By any channce would you just have a paper print of this I could purchase from you please . Sorry if you dont & i dont mean to be cheeky in asking, I like this art work you have done . Hope you are well & keeping safe 🌻😁🌍💞

Where do I find your supply lists ?

Beautiful. I wish your camera were closer to work.

Ivy, I have a question, and I am not trying to "make fun" of all this painting over things you put on first, but what is the purpose of doing this....the "blank canvas needing to be covered" seems a little bit trivial to me... I really don't see WHY do this and then paint over it......if you see something of what you put down first, I get that, but covering over the whole thing is very confusing to me....I'm not, REALLY NOT, making fun, I just want to UNDERSTAND.... Bev White OK, still listening to you talk.....you said you are just now starting to paint this way....please help me to understand your "feelings", I am not understanding.....that "flower" shape makes me think of the "complete man" (?) that da vinci painted (might not be the correct name of the "man".....THANKS!!!
