I love your video! It's great to see how you continued your painting after the workshop. Putting your painting on display is the perfect way to absorb it completely and pick up on any little changes you may want to make. Often we can look at a painting for several weeks (or months) before realising exactly what it is about it that's troubling us and more importantly how to fix it. Another tip would be to use the same reference material for a new painting; take everything you've learned from doing it once, add in some new ideas and see where it takes you. Sarah x

Pretty!

Still better than modern arts

It looks like reflections in water

I’m loving this low key and chill RUclips style! You look happy and relaxed 😊

Smart to use a waterproof tablecloth as an all purpose surface! Nice not to have to fiddle with a bunch of different bits. Great video!

What is peachtober? I’m taking part in Inktober but have never heard of this. Absolutely beautiful piece! Super eye catching❤

I love the blue!

Stormy night or Angry Mermaid

For day 2, can you use the prompt; cobbler

This is rlly pretty, keep going! 🎀

Hey Steph, you are right, there were some moments where it really looked good :-). I'm wondring why your paper doesn't buckle. There is so much paint on it. What did you use? Liked the experiment 🙂

I think your landscape is great!

Use blue painter's tape from the hardware store

A tip to get the tape off without tearing is to use a hair drier, it softens the adhesive on the tape.

Absolutely stunning collection! The use of color and texture in your abstract acrylics is so inspiring. I love how each piece has its own unique vibe. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work!

Wow, the abstract textured landscape is amazing! 🎨🌟 I love how you’ve used textures and colors to create such a dynamic piece. The process you shared was really insightful and inspiring. Thanks for giving us a behind-the-scenes look at your creative journey!

I am also a paint quantity undermixer, you’re not alone. I can’t bear the waste but it has come back to haunt me more than once. I loved hearing about your process and colour choices. It turned out pretty! 😊

this was so nice to follow.

These turned out lovely! They look so fresh and juicy

I love how thickly acrylic lays down, I haven’t used it in decades but I’m tempted to start making with it again. I like how you edited this video, as well

I too am a newbie at using oil pastels and, like BlackBean CMS said, these Faber Castell oil pastels are so frustrating to work with and they will make a new user feel like they are doing something wrong. Now, this is a messy medium, so if you don't like having pastel on your hands, you will never like this because a higher quality pastel is even more smudgy. Just picking up an oil pastel will cause messy hands. But I really started to like the medium better when I tried the Van Gogh Oil Pastel by Royal Talens. They are considered student grade, but they include both the pigment and lightfast information on each pastel, and the colors are amazing. They adhere to the paper well and blend beautifully. They are still a more firm pastel which are best for underlayers, but you could easily create a full piece with them without using a softer pastel like the professional grade Caran D'Ache Neopastel (not Neocolor) or a Sennelier. I also enjoyed using the Sakura Cray Pas Expressionist line, which is also produced by Royal Talens, and looks almost identical to the Van Gogh. However, they are slightly firmer, have no pigment or lightfast information, but still blend well and adhere to the paper. The Van Gogh are fairly expensive in the US when purchased open stock; one retailer currently sells them for almost $3 each which is more expensive than the professional grade Neopastels. But I bought the full 60 set on Amazon which made them about $0.74 each and was a much better deal. If you are in Europe, I imagine that they are much more affordable. If you decide to try them, will you please make a video comparing them with the Faber Castell? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I was sooooo disappointed since Faber Castell makes some of my most favorite products, like the Goldfaber and Polychromos pencils. They really dropped the ball with their oil pastel line and almost made me give up trying the medium. But the Van Gogh oil pastels restored my faith; they are so pleasant to work with. Also, the Caran D'ache Neocolor II, which are the water-soluble wax pastels/ crayons, are stellar when used dry or wet. If I could only afford one type of pastel, I would buy them, but they are very different from oil pastel. If you hate getting your hands dirty, you will love them. They definitely perform more in line with how a watercolor and gouache painter expects of a high quality crayon, but they do not apply as soft and thick as an oil pastel. I have more control with them, and I enjoy using them as a top layer over watercolor or gouache. Sorry this comment is so long, but I had to share my thoughts and hope they end up being helpful. I am loving your content and look forward to watching you experiment with different mediums as you continue to discover and expand what you enjoy working with!

I love both my Goldfaber and my Polychromos pencils. I carry a small section of Goldfabers in my purse at all times because they are lightweight. In lead hardness, the Goldfaber sit perfectly between a Polychromos and a Prismacolor, so they are an excellent choice if you can only buy one set. And while they have a small color range of 48 pencils versus 120 Polychromos, Faber Castell did a good job of selecting the best variety of colors from each color family, and they layer immaculately to create custom hues. I hope that you fall in love with them.

Please create an art piece using each medium showing the flexibility

I liked all of them, including the one you weren’t as pleased with! I love iterating on a subject and watching how others approach it so thanks for the video 😊

From what I've personally seen and experience, a lot of acrylic brushes, especially the synthetic fiber ones, can also be used for watercolors without any issues, some pigments might just be harder to wash off, is all. As for the whole thing about leaving tube watercolors to dry out in palettes, the general advice is to do a sort of test run, leaving some small drops to dry out and then compare how they reactivate versus fresh out of the tube, since some might lose a little vibrancy or flake, the likes. I have no knowledge of the brand you're using here though, so that's as much as I can say. Also, that was a really pretty tree! Wishing lots of fun with your new supplies!

Great video, I love your sketches. "Got no bum" made me laugh my head off. Unfortunately I can relate IRL! hahaha

I love the addition of yellow at the end! Beautiful color combination!

I do it sometimes when looking for inspiration. I love your choice of colors.

Those are beautiful colors! Pretty pieces.

Try heating the tape with a heat gun before peeling and peeling at a 45 degree angle. Helps the tape come off with out damaging the paper

love ur art ^^

This is exciting, I’m doing almost the exact same thing! Starting to document my art creation journey too on my channel. So glad the algorithm recognized this and showed me one of your videos! I’m a new sub now 😊

How kind of your viewer to send these, I love to hear about the generosity that's still out there in the world!

Flamingos are Lucy's favourite at the mo!

I loved watching your swatching. Paul Rubens was my first pro set and they play nicely with all my other paints. Enjoy!

Did you try to use them as “watercolor markers”? I’m curious if they maybe dissolve in a beautiful way☀️

I’m sure you will have a lot of fun with the watercolors. Also love monkeymintaka ❤️☀️

Is pretty

👍

No way your a beginner your amazing!

Hello! How are you? Great colourful art! I enjoyed a lot this video and I am sure you are going to do great with this channel! Looking forward to watch your art and your videos

I love how peeling that masking tape turns it suddenly into a 'finished' piece.

This is so exciting Steph! I can't wait to see your videos.
