I’m clearly out of control, but in a good way (I think). 😂 Denise, honestly, your videos have done more to finally get me creating than anything else I’ve done in years. Thank you. ❤

    Thank you for sharing these books. I love Rae. I have been a watcher of hers on yt for a long time. But the "breaker of rules" is why i sent my hubby to law school. LOL 😂 these are all wonderful books and a great way to describe learning the rules and breaking those chains. I believe we are the worst critics of our own art work. Im licky that one of my sons loves art as much as i do and we bounce off our projects with each other and listen and encourage each other.i just learned that the more picasso i make something the better i love it.❤❤❤ hope you have a fabulous weekend.

    I can sort of understand what you mean all though you had to work even harder at perfection. I used to scrapbook back in the day and we did everything so perfectly and precise. Everything was measured and carefully placed. When I started junk journaling and mixed media it was such a freeing experience. I never wanted to do anything perfectly again. I like a slight mess and have a greater understanding of abstract than I did before.

    • @2lilowlsstudio
      @2lilowlsstudio  Год назад +1

    Thank you for this video. What a great opportunity for us to get a sneak peek of books we hesitate to buy because we don’t know what’s in them. Rae Missigman is a wonderful artist. Her book is from five years ago, and now she seems to be doing primarily watercolors with an emphasis on botanicals. She has a wonderful collection of stencils with stencil girl. I have been following her for quite a while.

    • @2lilowlsstudio
      @2lilowlsstudio  Год назад

      That is a great book by Rae... in 5 years I'm sure I'll be onto my next newest obsession too... and have 100 more turns in between... so glad there are things out there like this to document our progress and where we go next! 😊

    Loving that first book as it looks like it explains things to a greater degree than others I've tried. I will be ordering it soon. In the meantime, I need to take the Color Cubes and swatch the colors to see what happens when the colors blend and note what colors to let blend and what colors are hideous when they blend. That has always been an issue with me no matter what medium I'm using.

    • @2lilowlsstudio
      @2lilowlsstudio  Год назад +2

      Swatching out colors is a great idea. I love doing little samplers for that reason, it is a little bit more exciting than just swatching for me. Happy painting!! 🎨

    @sharonling-LetsArtToday Год назад +1

    Thank you. Loved this❤ Style is a whole video on its own I think. I’m glad you touched on it as that is the question I myself have asked too. One freeing thing for me as I learned more was I’m eclectic and love just any type of art/Papercrafts etc. I’m yet to find something that is distinctly recognizable to be “me” yet in certain groups/pages for example, like your FB group most come to expect I’ll be stamping on my paintings. But others groups, that’s a norm to do that. I hope I am making sense. Probably not. I also found after being on a design team, then leaving it, I found my “freedom” to not be restricted by the products I had to work with and that has continued to take me on my journey of finding my style and enjoying my art, because I’m having FUN. And I found more fun and joy when I found your channel. It gave me the permission and the “want” to just do something so freeeing. Thank you!

    This is a fantastic and very imformative video, Denise. I just ordered Paint Play Explore and I'm so excited for something new to draw from. I am a very linear person and most likley made a great draftsman. I was always intrigued by the tables and supplies in High School when I'd walk past the mechanical drawing class ....... if I could only go back, but them my math skills were awful. I still find abstract difficult for me because of my mind set, but I'm working on it. Love ALL your videos and you are such an inspiration. Thank you for all you do and for all the sharing that takes place in your video's 🤗 xo Barbie
