Your sketchbook videos have helped me get over the fear of "messing up" my book. I finally realize that not every page is a masterpiece, and I won't tear anything out! Thank you for sharing.
I would love to see the whole process of the gel plate to the printer…I’m a visual learner and would love to see this whole process. And the cards you use as well. Everything you do is inspiring
Gel print crow bird is wonderful! I like the idea of a portable work station - ready to go - with all the things you need together in one place. Have a great week Gaynor.😊
What an incredible series those birds would make. Would love to see what you would do with them on a larger scale on canvas or board with some collage etc. My mind is abuzz with visions of what you would create. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! They have such character, rendered through your mark-making and layered approach. Just wonderful, Gaynor!
Danke für die netten und anteilnehmenden Worte bezüglich meiner Disziplin. Anderer Leute Sketchbooks finde ich sehr einladend. Ich muss für mich noch die richtige Herangehensweise finden. In meinem Malraum liegt alles herum und ich kann loslegen. Vielleicht müsste ich für das sketchbook in der Küche oder im Wohnzimmer arbeiten, da ich im Malraum eigentlich immer stehe und drucke. Alles Gute für die Ausstellung😊
Hi Ulrike, Vielen Dank, dass Sie zugeschaut haben und sich die Zeit für einen Kommentar genommen haben. Es macht mir Spaß zu lesen, wie andere Künstler arbeiten. 🥰
I’m so glad I found you! I’m so excited to binge your videos lol. I’ve recently got into mixed media (originally just watercolor) and I have only found a couple other artist I enjoy watching
I love your crow birds. And, I love all birds! You have inspired me to embark on sketching birds, which I know will bring me joy. Every time I have what is a failed gelli print, I embellish them with acrylic paint markers and they turn into amazing art. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us.
yay birdies!! love yours!! especially the less than perfectly photorealistic parts! i love the Gaynor in your drawings so much!! your drawing handwriting, your style, your marking. : )
Hello Gaynor. I just love how you carry on working, where I would have torn the page out. Such an inspiration. You make such good and valid points, with plenty of useful suggestions. Thank you. Love the bird cards. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week💐
I love Thursday mornings because I get to visit with Gaynor! So impressive that you're working with the printer to move your card making along especially with your upcoming show. The sketches are fantastic and although birds are not my thing, yours draw my attention immensely. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you for the time that you spend showing us your process and making videos each week. Love your crow cards. I'm still grappling with the perfection thing so this was very encouraging.
Hello Claire, from my experience I don't think the perfection thing ever really goes away, but being aware of it and overriding it helps enormously. Thank you for watching and leaving a lovely comment 🥰
Wonderful as usual, you are a ray of sunshine Gaynor. Would love to know how you combine your birds and gelplate prints on your printer, they are fabulous. Thank you.😊
Lovely news about the open studios, I’m sure that will be really nice….. The cards look amazing very cool idea using the printer in that way! Enjoyed watching the sketch book process with all the tips and tricks….. Brilliant stuff! 👌x
Love, love, love the card birds. I surprised myself and made an involuntary “Oh!” when you showed the first one, he and all his friends are fabulous. Totally agree with your final comments regarding discipline and having things in sight, one has to find flow. Have a great week.
Awesome tips today on sketchbook, watching your process, working threw...developing the process, learning as you go excellent!! Your Cards are wonderful Gaynor! :)
Good morning Gaynor and thankyou for much needed sketchbook tips! 😊 Loving your birds and as always, watching your process! It’s so relatable and you make it all seem so accessible/doable (if that’s a word 🙄) - inspiring. I just have to keep the inspiration and momentum going following your blog /vlog 😬 I’m curious about your printer - is it a bog standard ink printer? And do you have to attach your cards to A4 sheets of paper in order for them to go through the printer?
Hello Tricia, I have an Epsom ink printer and I hand feed each card and sometimes the printer chews the edge and the process comes to an abrupt halt !! It isn't ideal but I do like the results when things run smoothly ! 🥰
Hello Paula, Thank you for watching. My go to sketchbook is an A4 Canson with 100gsm, if they are out of stock, anything similar works well. Have a lovely week 🥰
You inspire me Soooo much, just your delightful accent is enough to keep calling me back! I’ve been a strictly, watercolorist for many years and my SET way of doing art has bored me to tears! So……onward I go into the sketchbook, acrylic, and etc world to further my joy and YOU have led me to great exploration. Thank you Gaynor for your contribution to our wonderful art world
Hello Katrina, I have an Epsom printer that is no longer available. At some point I will upgrade to something that doesn't constantly need maintenance !!!
