Come paint with Scott and me in person, check out the 3 workshops I have scheduled. April 25-29 in San Antonio, TX, July 16-18 Booth Museum, GA, August 25 - 29 Wilmington, NC www.susanlyon.com/workshops

Thank you for the video....I felt like I was there with you visiting such a cool place and museums. Love every minute of it.😊

I've done a fair amount of mountain climbing; going up is good aerobically but going down is far more taxing on the body. Susan, next time take along a walking stick or better yet two ski poles. Thanks for letting us join in. Happy New year.

I love how you described the effect of the paint on the energy of a painting!

Susan, thank you so much for sharing; I so enjoy and look forward to your “Artist Diaries” and really do appreciate that you and Scott take the time to make them-I always learn from your generosity and am truly thankful for it. Btw, I have a brand new can of Krylon Fine Art fixatif and now I’ll be a bit more confident when it comes time for me to try it out, thank you for mentioning it-it’s seemingly small things like this that can make a significant difference to a young, aspiring, artist like myself. Thank you again. With much gratitude.

❤Happy New Year! That was enthusiastic chicken talk for how much they were enjoying the food Scott gave them. I was on a farm for 40 years. Haha

Happy new year, Susan! Looking forward to more of your vlogs!

Your videos are the best way to start the new year ! Thanks and happy 2025!

Gosh i love your work susan theyre so beautiful

Thank you both for this delightful New Years Day audiovisual smorgasbord. This made my day! An extraordinary menu it was, including the surprise desert - a walk through the Pilot Mountain State Park. Lots of WOW moments as I was seeing so many amazing landscape painting possibilities . . .and then further inspiration during the chicken visit - such beautiful plumages, shapes and sizes -there's a whole series of chicken (and rooster) portraits in them there Gallus domesticus! Loved that little one with her feathery boots. To you and Scott, a bountiful and art-filled 2025!

Thanks and happy new year

Happy new year to you both 🎉🎉

Incredible

Hi Susan. So one of your videos showed up in my feed a couple of weeks ago. I loved it and decided that I had to go back to your very first video and watch all of them from the beginning. Obviously, I just finished this one, number 42! I also enjoyed working with pastels, but the organizing and keeping them organized is a huge endeavor. If you have a good tip on sharpening pastel pencils other than using a knife, I’m all ears! Have you and Scott ever visited the Barnes Museum in Philadelphia? I’m in Wilmington, DE and the Barnes is really a must see!

Get a mini dolly to roll your stuff. I get tired also and take vitamin b12 under tongue to help fatigue. Loved the tips on portraiture.

Really interesting video, thank you 😀🇬🇧

Really helpful video - Wonderful loose approach, which is what I'm striving for. I've been painting with acrylics for many decades and now I'm anxious to follow up on your tip to use heavy body gesso for white. The titanium white n the heavy body acrylics isn't stiff enough, especially when fresh out of the tube and tends to weaken the consistency of the other colors - Always very frustrating when attempting to paint thick strokes or use a palette knife. What brand are you using? I see Liquitex has a "Super Heavy Body Gesso. I think this will be a game changer. Thank you so much!

Susan, thank you for these videos. Those of us without family or not celebrating the holiday really appreciate spending time in the studio with you, and sharing your joy.

Did not know of Dewing so it was great to see some of his great work. Can kind of see the similarities to how Vanderpool handled the big shapes over the details. All tho from what I could see Vanderpool was designing the shadow shapes more where dewing seems to want to lean a bit more linearly.

i loved hearing her story during the painting process! i feel like doing so makes the painting more meaningful and builds awareness that there is a person with their own unique story behind the portrait.

Loved the Dewing book demo. What a pastel master. Thanks for this, Sue.

I was watching a video about Vermer and a lot of these commissioned pieces by their patrons were used as pin-ups and kept in their wardrobes (pre-Playboy), that would explain the size. Do you think this is a valid explanation? Au Revoir chicken wranglers, I will bid you and Scott adieu.

Please join Scott and me for our next livestream paint along ! Dec 28th. Free 7 day trial www.patreon.com/susanlyon

The likeness was great to be honest, nothing to worry about it looks like her exactly. Thanks for the demo

That was so-so awesome! I love all your videos, but for some reason my heart is full after watching this one, what a beautiful soul Sarah was….honestly this could be a PBS series of you and Scott doing portraits while people tell their stories!

Love love this drawing its so touching 💕💖God bless Sarah

Is this quite like Scott toned gray charcoal drawing demo ? How to see his demo of the woman with the turban charcoal drawing on toned gray paper ) also the one of the guy with the beard

I been drawing majority figure & 1.1% portraits. Kinda nuts looking into people faces.

Make babies less barn yard

Good demo. Thanks

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎅and Happy New Year, to you both. and many many thanks for all the videos you provide , which gives us all a glimpse into the artist lives you both lead ,. Thank You .. 😊

The good ones are always called home before we want them to leave. Thank you for sharing your friend and your art.

Your pastel work is divine. Any online upcoming pastel classes?

very cool video. her father flew on aircraft the I paint a lot from the 8th army air force during ww2

actually getting to know the subject. best way to capture the essence - love it well done!

amazing as always.... sorry about the beautiful model untimely passing away... looking forward to see more acrylic work on patreon or here ! congrats

Thank you for this, best way to spend an hour. I bought Kathy's flower painting video ten years ago and have just about worn it out, highly recommend, have learned so much from it. Susan Lyon - you Rock!

Everything you are discussing is spot on with things I’m dealing with. Thank you for bringing up these questions!

Susan, I agree with your intuition; as an aspiring artist, I hold conversations such as these to be both important and insightful. Many thanks to you and Kathy for taking the time to share them with the community. I also watched/listened to the entire video. I admire each of you for your work and generosity to share. Thank you both.

How cool to see Scott work in acrylics! So beautiful

Thank you both for an interesting chat. I love Kathy's floral paintings and her enthusiasm & sadly I don't see her painting often. I am reminded to look at Kathy's website again. Equally I love your portrait paintings Susan. Individuality is important; we are who we are! 🌷

The audio on Kathy Johnson‘s side is not good.😮

I just begun to watch this video and am excited about two women artists talking about their work. I wish you, Sue and Kathy would reveal your ages..I am 75 as of last week and still struggle with the basics but enjoy my time outdoors and find something to be happy about communing with nature.! Merry Christmas and happy new year to both of you .🎄🥰🥳❄️

Thank you for a wonderful hour and a quarter with Kathy Anderson. I think I had a smile on my face the whole time, she does bring out the glee, joy, and delight in a person. I think that is why she paints flowers, the warmth, color, and beauty flow out the end of her brush onto the canvas. Nancy's show at the Salmagndi Club, NYC and your Scotland trip both are in your Artist's Diaries, and I would encourage everyone to check them out if they would like to see more of the effervescent Nancy Anderson, and you teaching a workshop. Both of you are beautiful inside and out, and true artists that love what you paint. I am sure each of you had a glass of wine, so now I will go and have one. Cheers!

That was great Susan. I have become aware of how good Kathy is through your videos. I watched the whole thing while doing dishes and grabbing a quick lunch. She is so good her brushwork, color and composition and seems a blast to be around. Would love more of these. Love when artist interview fellow artist as they know the right questions to ask

thank you so much for these videos! I haven't been able to travel for the past 10 years and I feel like I can live vicariously through you.Having an actual artist ccommenting on paintings is so refreshing and eyeopening. I hope you continue with these videos. Im so glad to have discovered them.I'm late, but very grateful. thank you!!

Congratulations to you, Susan! I loved this video. Thank you so much for always sharing and giving back! Happy Anniversary on the 24th!🎨👨‍🎨❤️

What a sweet wedding, and you guys looked so cute!!! Thank you for sharing that!!!

Susan, thank you so much for sharing such personal aspects of yourself and your process with the artist community; it means so much to me as a young artist to have the benefit of your knowledge. I especially appreciate the honesty, integrity and vulnerability exhibited in your interview with Scott-it is so validating to know that no matter how accomplished one may be, to wholly engage in the arts means that we must necessarily be willing to subject ourselves to a constant struggle toward perfection with the understanding that we will never achieve it. Thank you and please than Scott for understanding how important your interview with him is and that there are those who both benefit and appreciate immensely from your generosity. ❤❤

Just discovered you and you are soo cool 💗💗💗💗💗
