OH YES! haha thanks :P

Oh cool! And thank you :)

Thank you so much! And YES! I LOVE Hanna Barbera background art, and I'm a huge fan of Dexter's Lab and Powerpuff Girls :) I'll do all of that! Thanks for the comment and request.

Thank you! It was a fun one to paint!

Oh, you should check it out! Nothing like it. And I'm pretty sure the show was all hand drawn. And, yeah, I think it's a good idea to try more water, especially if your doing line work. As always, thanks for your comment :)

Oh yeah, that's right! I love that video :)

Thank you so much! That's really nice to hear! I promise to keep making videos 🥰

YESSSS! Ren and Stimpy! What a fun request! I'm on it. Thank you so much for the comment and suggestion. I'm stoked you enjoy following along and I think it's cool that your doing quick, digital versions ☺

I have too much experience with undercarriage! And thanks G, I hope Eyvind would be proud!

Oh yeah! That's an amazing idea, consider it done. Thank you for the suggestion!

@@children_of_the_craft Can’t wait!

I try! I think sometimes it just comes down to laziness on my part. Glad you appreciate it though ;)

You're welcome again!

Awe, thank you! I love learning about the process behind animated films... glad you do too 🤩

Haha! YES! THANK YOU! Half Baked... think I saw it when I was fully baked. And thanks for the compliment and for watching :)

You're the first one I read, does that count?! And thank you ☺

Wow, thank you! And there are more on this channel -- but you probably already know that. I promise to do another, Mary Blair Cinderella piece soon!

Awe G, I love how encouraging you are! Thanks babe xo

Haha that's awesome! I feel honoured! How was Joan? I would love to see her in concert.

haha exactly! Did you ever watch the show 6 Feet Under? There's a great bit where the daughter, Claire, who is in art school, has to draw a circle over and over until she can do it perfectly.... which, of course, is impossible.

@@children_of_the_craft Oh god, I kinda want to rewatch that show. Do you know how early on in a relationship, you each want to show the other "the coolest show" and everything hinges on that? For me that was Twin Peaks and for my partner it was 6 Feet Under. I think we both passed with flying colors :D

Thank you! And I LOVE that Peter Pan image you mentioned. I think I'll do that one soon! If you do it, and you like how it turns out, maybe I could share it on here..? As for the plastic lids, that is not a stupid question... I usually wash them off and reuse them a few times. I like the idea of using parchment paper on damp paper towel. I might try that out. As always, thanks for watching and for your comments ☺

There we go! Gina comes through again! Thanks babe... and I'm totally going to do a big version of this. Also, I did find some character concepts she did for Sleeping Beauty as well, but yeah, they look different... sort of? I'll email you a link. xox

🥲This comment seriously made my morning... thank you so much for letting me know about your experience painting the Eyvind dragon, I bet it looks great (even if you think it's garbage lol)! Making these videos is a labour of love and hearing that they inspired you to paint is super encouraging. Wow... yeah, I'm really stoked. Thank you!!! Maybe one day you can email me your replicants and I can share them on this channel?! It's something I've been thinking about. I teach Replicant Zoom classes (next session will start in November) and have been sharing the students' work. It's amazing what we're capable of when we go for it! I love your analogy about finishing a race after everyone's gone home... so true.

OMG YAY! Exciiiiiting! Good luck, and if you have any questions, let me know!

Thank you! It's my pleasure 🙂

Omg! YES! That's what I thought too! In fact, I had to break my rule of redoing VO cause I said Maleficent the first time around.... SHOOT, maybe it IS Maleficent! lol... Uh oh. And I'm going to check out Tyrus Wong right now! Thank you :) I love a new artist to obsess over. Also, very cool that you are taking part in world watercolour month. I didn't know that was a thing!

I just looked into it a bit more and it IS Maleficent! Thank you so much for pointing this out! This is what happens when I'm rushing around trying to do too many things 😵‍💫

@@children_of_the_craft Oh wow! Either way, she looks awesome. And Maleficent IS my favorite Disney princess!

@@ritawilbur6128 Nice choice! She's mine now too.

How is it that your my mother and I didn't know it was tulle?! What did I say it was??? I can't even remember, my brain is so fried 🥴

Awe, your comment made me smile so big! Thank you!!! The fact that I was able to inspire you to become a fan of Mary and Eyvind means a lot to me 🥰 John Fluevog shoes were the pinnacle of cool back in the day! SO DOPE lol

It's so darn charming!

And thank you!

The dog love is so genuine!

That's a huge compliment, thank you!

I think it was orange and black! And thanks for the comment ;)

It's at the Slice of Life Gallery in Vancouver! Thanks for asking :)

It's my pleasure! The process is relaxing for the most part and I love connecting with people, so the time is well spent ;)

Thank you! That means a lot coming from an artist such as yourself!

I went almost the WHOLE video without saying anything spicy! And of course I'd include your piece! It make me look like a good teacher ;) You are so talented G!

@@children_of_the_craft haha you ARE a good teacher silly goose! 😄

Awe! Thank youuuuu! I'm excited that you're excited!

I'm so happy I could help! Thank you for your comment :)

Thank you! And... that would be nice :)

Awe, thank you! I love that you were thinking the same thing! lol I was SO into that steam

Thanks Gil! You can add retarder to acrylic gouache to slow down the drying time. Thanks for asking! I have never even considered adding anything to slow down the dry time.

Thank you so much! I have a lot of fun making these videos, and it feels great knowing people are enjoying them ☺

NERD ALERT! lol I'm all up in the Jedi mind tricks... I wouldn't get anything done without them. And thanks for the title, "Blending Queen" I will do my best to live up to it 👑💋

Oh wow, thank you! That is so nice to hear 🤗 Let me know if there are any pieces, or artists, you would like me to replicate. Welcome to the channel!

@@children_of_the_craft I love painting portraits in gouache, which is why I came across your channel, but I know NOTHING about concept art or Disney artists. The only thing I do really love when I go there are the gouache paintings for the haunted mansion. They are so perfect and that weird turquoise green color is seriously amazing.

@@ivyclough8969 Oh yeah, the haunted mansion paintings!!! Good call! I have been there several times, and you are so right, the atmosphere is so strong.... that turquoise green. I need to go look up some pics. And I would love to learn more about doing portraits in gouache. It's the one area I've avoided out of fear.

Hi! First, thank you for the compliment! I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying my channel. As for the bright colours.... I was curious about that as well, so I did some research... fluorescent paints were invented in the 1930 by Joseph and Robert Switzer (known as the 'Switzer Brothers') -- it's a cool story! After a fall, Robert suffered a severe head injury that resulted in a severed optic nerve. His doctor confined him to a dark room while he waited for his sight to recover. And that inspired his brother, Joseph, who was a chemist, to find compounds that glowed in a black light. Whether or not Mary Blair used flourescent paint or not is a mystery to me, but it would have been available. In this piece the black background would have helped make any saturated colour extra bright, so she may have just been using regular pigments.

I don't hate you! I thank you. I love a challenge... even when it gets deleted. And I love your observation about the unusual colour choice for the shadowed mountain range! Yes! Ralph had such a unique way of using colour. I'm really happy you enjoyed this :) THANK YOU!

​@@children_of_the_craftThanks for sharing. Can you share hiw didnt get frustrated and fed up and want to give up when everything went to shit in this painting? Thanks very much.

@@leif1075 I did get frustrated! But I've been painting for a long time and have learned that when you have to redo something, it usually ends up being way better the second time. I also think it really helps to focus on the learning aspect of making art... every time I make art, whether it turns out crappy or not, I'm learning. It's never a waste of time. I think, sometimes, the shittiest art teaches me the most.

Thank you! 🥰

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!!

​@@children_of_the_craftPLEASE HOW AND WHY did tou almoat die..and can you PLEASE SHARE tips on how to lelarn to paint more easily as a young adult struggling with depression..I don't want to struggle at all or feel like i apmost died painting as that would nust add to my depression and stress. Thanks for sharing and hope to hear from you.

​@@children_of_the_craftAnd how did you come up with that music? Thanks for sharing. I did like and subscribe, for what it's worth.

@@leif1075 me saying I almost died was hyperbolic for sure, but I did find this process VERY challenging. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with depression. If you can get to a place where you're painting for fun, not worrying about the end result, it can be therapeutic. But that's easier said than done. I've been through some dark times, and some major mental roadblocks as an artist, and what's helped me the most is being really, really kind to myself. I literally talk to myself like I'm a little kid who needs unconditional love. That, and meditation, conscious breathing, freezing cold showers, yoga, journalling... seriously, I try ALL the things! I get hyper focused on understand myself as a way of coping... which, for the most part, is a pretty decent way of surviving. Sending you good energy!

@@leif1075 A great thing that I did during a tough time in my life, was doodling/zentangle. I found it very creative and soothing, but very low stress. I had no expectations for myself and it was easy to do a little bit every day, which in turn, eventually led to more challenging things. Plus, I had a ton of home made cards to give away! Best of luck to you : )

Oh wow, thank you so much!! What a lovely compliment 🥰 Welcome to the channel!
