Крытые идеи, спасибо что поделились 🎄
The snowman looks cold& cute.
:) He probably is little cold.
Nice !!😍😍..
Thanks so much for showing that cute cards can be created quickly.
You are so welcome! :)
Love these! I especially enjoy your mixed media approach. There is nothing wrong with a little ink on top of watercolor. Your choice of colors too Marena, is excellent. That little glow of yellow really makes these cards pop. Also, your the first artist I’ve seen who uses black and white splatters. What a difference that makes. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!
Thank you Rita, that is so sweet of you to say. I am glad you like it. Have a happy holidays!
These cards turned out great, love the light wash in the backgrounds.
Thanks so much! I am glad you do. :)

Beautiful painting, I wish when editing you’d allow a breathe between sentences, it’s one full talk without a gap space for our minds to breathe and take in. Lovely artwork ❤
That is actually a great feedback. I will keep it in mind. With talking, I can go on forever. 😆 I can see it can be too uch.
Trust me from one talker to another, I know lol 😂 Keep inspiring with your work, it’s wonderful. ✅🇬🇧

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
These are very nice. I would like to give this a try, but I can't afford to do all individual cards. Do you have a process for quality multiple reproductions?
No, sorry :(
💗💗💗
:)
Amazing! How do you stop the cards getting warped once wet with paint?
I turn them on both sides while drying. That is how they stay flatter.
May I use this idea to make cards for my family and friends? I do not want to steal your art, asking permission first. Wonderful card ideas!
Sure! I don't mind that. Thank you for asking. Making cards to give them away is just fine. I do mind if they are for sale, though.😉
@@MarenaART nope, no selling happening here :)
Thank you!
I love your ideas! What brand of Masking Fluid pen do you use?
I am using Solo Goya markers, but I could not find them on Amazon. If you are looking there you can find even better substitute within my Amazon affiliate links: www.amazon.com/shop/marenaart
😆
I don’t have Select All option on my IPad mini. I do have Mark all but that doesn’t offer any delete options. Can you help?
Soooo cute!!I just found your channel and I love it! I feel like I could do this because it seems so easy and simple! You earned a subscriber!!!!! :D
Thank you so much!! I am so glad you feel that way. :)
Hi hun could I have the link for the arteza for ur water colours please xxx
Not sure what you mean
What material do you make the color white with?
White gouache or white gel pen
Okay I have to admit that I am fuzzy when it comes to baubles. I can doodle but baubles need to be round. And no, I don't want blue and black snowmen with black (of all colors) snowflakes either. But it was fun to watch anyway. I personally like it more when I paint first and doodle just a little bit in the end. I need the paint to be the main thing, not the doodling.
Well, that sound great. We should all be different and have our preferences, but also respect that. Thank you so much for your comment and I am glad you had fun watching it. Maybe got an idea. :) Happy holidays!
I don't send/mail paper cards anymore. Only e cards. It is because I only want to use paper that is recycled. We can send e cards without using up our trees. But if I were giving a card to someone in person, it would be one of yours.
I do agree with you, Joyce! We should be thinking more about what we are leaving behind on this planet.
agreed you make it look really easy but it's not.
Ha ha ha.... It is. You just need to give it a go. :)
Я же не сошла с ума, я слышу русский акцент?
Not Russian, but Slavic probably. I am from Croatia.
You talk a lot, becomes irritating
Yep, that´s me. Talk a lot. :)
Way too much talk
That's me. Talk too much. You can always mute me and play some music.☺😉
I do
