Truly turning the ordinary to extraordinary ❤

@annaromero6312 Год назад

I love this painting. I also loved what you said about seeing beauty all around you. I see beauty in dead trees, they look like sculptures. I like how positive you are. Thanks for all you do. 🥰💕

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thanks!

@yelsyels Год назад

I understand finding the beauty in food products! This is an area I like! Vegetables and fruits are a great starting point for anyone that wants to experiment! Slice them in half and investigate the beauty within!

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

I totally agree!

@bethcrane5780 Год назад

Stealth onions! lOniony friendship! I love it. Thanks for another great inspiration....!

I so love to hear you share your frustrations and doubts when you work on a piece. It makes me feel less isolated when I paint and it happens to me. I love the depth and colors in this painting. Will definitely be checking it out in Critique Club! ❤👍🏻

I got a good laugh out of you saying the bottom right onion was a perfect place to sign your name, haha! I can relate SO much to that. 😂

Right?!

Turned out so nice. Love the colors. Thanks Lindsay. I was craving onion rings after watching,lol.

@deborahruth5072 Год назад

I love this. I am so glad you mention the doubts while painting. I can't tell you though how many paintings ended up round filed until I discovered pushing thru that uncomfortable doubt phase. Thank you for a great video.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

You are so welcome!

@alisavogt2892 Год назад

This is so beautiful! When I saw the thumbnail I actually thought you had added string and threads as the roots!! The colors are so wonderful. And I loved your comments about connecting. Great video!! ❤❤

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thank you so much!

@Khyra61 Год назад

I love all the colours that you put together to make "white" onions. The different layers really give them depth.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thanks so much 😊

@gracesartwatercolours3622 Год назад

@MusingsFromTheDen Год назад

I love the way you suggested the sheen on the onions, particularly the one towards the top right. 😊 It was definitely worth pushing though the frustration . 😊

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thanks!

@meliB32 Год назад

I drew a banana peel about 3 weeks ago just because I wanted to do something artsy and it was the funnest time I'd had in a long time! I love this so much and you're so right we see beauty in everything and I hope to pass that to my children. I might take a page out of your book and paint some of the photos I've taken as well. Very inspirational video and I love your voice over ♡

@ChristinaTodd1970 Год назад

Oh my gosh, setting up a place is so true. I recently was gifted an all in one computer which is now where my art setup was. Since the change I have not painted at all because it's so much work to set everything up.

@cindihooks8178 Год назад

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

You can do it!

@theartofetta Год назад

After trying a sample box from Fabre Castell, I got some of their watercolor markers. I love them! They are so much fun! I really appreciate their lightfastness.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

So cool!

@nighthawksblues3081 Год назад

I understand when you have doubts! This piece was worth it though.

@mjpete27 Год назад

Hullo Lindsay, I once thought if I just get to this point I will be an "Artist"! I will never doubt myself again! After 50 years it still has not happened! If I can just get out of my teens, Once I hit 30 I will be confident, and on and on it goes. I am retired now and the doubts still cling to me. I adore your solutions and your "stick to it ness" I do try and work through the ugly stage of an artwork. I have ripped up a piece of paper after I have done all I can, but if we just set it aside and let it be for just a while, it may come back as not that bad! So I offer this to anyone reading this : Do not give up on your artwork set it aside and come back to it later. you may discover a way to change it so you love it! You might decide there is nothing to be done and start over. Just give yourself a break and take it easy on yourself. You will discover hidden depths to your self and your work. Thanks for a wonderful video Lindsay, your an amazing Artist and truly wonderful person, Thank You.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Awesome advice as always!

They look so delicious! I wish my family loved onions as much as I do. Beautiful piece. Have a great day and so glad ypur put of your block or not sure what you call it but I'm glad otherwise.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thanks so much

@sondrabrown442 Год назад

Beautiful! Thanks so much Lindsay!

@heianwoman Год назад

This is so beautiful. When I first saw them on my phone, I thought they were jellyfish. Maybe new glasses are called for.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

They reminded me of jellyfish when i was painting them!

@saral.1933 Год назад

Nice piece! The mixed media on top of the painting was interesting & I learned from it. Maybe I will try adding in some different medium myself. The colors are really lovely.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Please do!

@SuzWarren Год назад

Squeee! I love this! I love the colors, the textures, the way you’ve captured the unanticipated shininess of the onion. You are so right. Beauty is all around us and can be profoundly astonishing sometimes. I still remember the day years ago when I was struck by some pebbles in the sidewalk and fallen redbud blossoms glowing on a misty day. ❤

@aptwalker2009 Год назад

Thanks!

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thank you for your support:) it means a lot!

@rachelanns6357 Год назад

Ghost onions! 👻🧅

@ScrappingNurse Год назад

This is very nice as usual. I love all of your art. Maybe the problem with the onion shoots is that they were a little big/wide but still a great painting. When I grow up I want to be an artist like you❤

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thanks for the tips!

@catbraunwell6450 Год назад

Thanks for this Lindsay what an awesome picture and I love your painting. You have such a lovely easy style. I am really into watercolor crayons also and I would like to know which tutorials I could go to of yours as I heard you saying you have tutorials just on watercolor crayons. I think they’re one of the most awesome things ever and I also enjoy the neocolor one on top of the watercolor

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

I have a whole class with many projects at Lindsayweirich.teachable.com

@E4Alabbasy Год назад

Honestly most of my favorite paintings that I created were a disaster that were fixed later in the process 😅 I am really loving your vegetable paintings espacially the onion with a broken layer and the purple that pops underneath it 👏🏼

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Thanks!

@ArtBrain Год назад

I was expecting the photo to be super colorful onions, but they were plain white. You turned what I would find a not very desirable subject into something amazing. So awesome. I'm surprised that you bought the Faber Castell Markers. You're running out of things to get, aren't you ;-). Thanks for the tutorial!

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

I've wanted them for years.

@ArtBrain Год назад

@@thefrugalcrafter Looking forward to the review. BTW, the photo was super nice. I was just saying it's not something I would paint in the plain white form. You turned them into something very desirable to paint.

@joymiller9668 Год назад

I just got my faber castell 30 set in the mail. Today they didn't work well on Paul ruebens glitter paper, but they worked really well on my grumbacher mixed media sketchbook, I have yet to try them on my arches will let you know tho lol I had been looking all over too see if you had done a Review and was so happy to this today. Perfect timing!

@joymiller9668 Год назад

Cant wait to get those neo 2s either 🤪

@joymiller9668 Год назад

Lol I also just got those markers a couple days ago, cause your Review convinced me lol. So happy I got them. I also got the white barrel liked those too now I have to complete the sets though I realized that they seem incomplete without the 30b set and the 24 set of the black.

@joymiller9668 Год назад

I was able to put my Rembrandt chameleon paint on top of the black markers after they had dried for a couple of days on cannot bristol smooth paper without moving or lifting, granted I was trying to be gentle, but honestly thought theyd lift right up.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Good to know! The glitter might be rough. They should come tomorrow!

@joymiller9668 Год назад

They probably worked best on arches hot press and baohong, whether on hot or cold press. They were surprisingly decent on the grumbacher mixed media, OK, on the cold press pulp. They were just OK on the bee paper . They did alright on Bristol. The issue with the last ones was getting the paper too wet but small amounts were OK and I guess that is about what you would expect. But ya I really liked them on the hot press 140lb Arches and Baohong. The paul ruebens paper was just impossible to get rid of original lines which may work well for certain needs

@cookie_flowers Год назад

From the thumbnail i thought they were jelly fish. I hate onions so i probably wouldn’t have clicked. Im so glad i did

@ChristinaTodd1970 Год назад

Oooh, I love Schmincke watercolors. What is it that you don't like about them besides the price? My favorite watercolors are still M Graham and Mijello Mission Gold pure pigment with Daniel Smith burnt sienna which is in every palette I own.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

They are fine but I don't think they are anything special. They are as good as winsor newton but in my opinion not as good as m graham or QoR

@sallygreenfield6991 Год назад

I'm a fan of Schmincke, too! It's weird because when I first bought them, I swatched them out and played with them a little, and I didn't think they were anything special, so I kept using other paints instead. However, over time I found that the finished product of every painting I do with them turns out to be one of my favorites, even when I didn't necessarily love the entirety of the experience of using them. If that makes sense. Now that I trust the paints more, I find myself reaching for them more and more. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure they are a little bit magic.

@CreativePhenomenonArt Год назад

I have those faber Castel watercolor markers on my wishlist 🥰🥰 I cannot wait to see you play with them. I recently opened a sub box that had the new Pantone markers. I’m curious if you have been given them to review? They are a head scratcher for me. And the reason is, how they are describing them seems a bit off to me. I would love to hear your thoughts.

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

No I haven't heard if them. Everything pantone tends to be overly pricey IMO

@CreativePhenomenonArt Год назад

@@thefrugalcrafter Yes I have to agree with that. Each marker is priced OVER $8😳

@margchat Год назад

Is there a way to make your own super granulating watercolors?

@thefrugalcrafter Год назад

Yes, I have a video on what colors you probably have that will granulate. Add those colors to others for granulating colors: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sf_UlCnuA74.html
