Denise, oh how I would love to spend the day, making art with you! You literally squealed at one point! We would laugh the whole time, and have so much fun playing with everything! You and your videos rock! 🫶
Gorgeous trees! Love your ideas and I take away more ideas for my own work. Thinking of using the tape for abstract blocks. Imagination is fired up again! Thank you, Denise! Your "art noises" are just what we need to hear!
I loved these! I’ve been watching videos from many different artists seeing what I might be able to reproduce. Watching yours this morning, I’ve found the one. Thank you for this. Happy Holidays.
I love your "nutty" noises. I do that too. Always! It makes everything fun! I can't wait to have a go at this kind of tree. I tend to avoid kitschy Christmas. Some people have said my holiday style looks like Christmas threw up 😂😂😂. That's exactly what I was going for! I love it when judge-y people compliment me while trying to put me down. ❤❤❤ Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and joy is a choice! 😊🎉
I'm only 15 seconds in & stopping to say, "These are beautiful & I look forward to making for folks I love & appreciate." Thanks for sharing these soon enough that i have time to make & send 'em!!
Ok, you are part mad scientist, part little kid, part Christmas elf, all wrapped up in FUN!! 🤩 I stumbled onto your video, and I’m totally in love with you and how much fun you have. Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤
Beautiful paintings! I connected so much with your comment about being given assignments in art school. I loved that because I struggled with what to create, I still do. I’m so much more successful with a prompt or idea presented to me. It allows me to have some fun with the mediums I want to work with and not stress out over the subject matter.
Love these! The watercolors in the first layer suggest the glow of multicolored Christmas lights. The damask stencil was perfect. These are too cute! Can't wait to give this a try. I'm recovering from minor surgery today and totally needed your cheeriness & giggles, Denise, to brighten up my day. Thank you!
Dang, Denise! I spent the last couple of weeks working on the Christmas cards I was planning to send out and finished them yesterday, pretty proud of myself. THEN I stumble on this video. So of course, now I feel like I want to make painted trees instead, so back to the drawing board, literally! My hubby is going to think I'm crazy, but yours turned out so gorgeous, I have to try it. Seriously, thanks for the inspiration. Cheers from Denver CO!
What wonderful Christmas cards, I love them. I can;t wait to play when I get home from work in the morning. Thank you for being you and such a wonderful inspiration!!
This is my very favorite of all your videos. My daughters family and I are flying from CA to Dallas and then on to LA for Christmas and to be with family- the rest of my children and grandchildren and great grand children. I am going to take all the supplies to make these trees and see if any if the kids would like😊 to do some painting one day and make some Christmas trees.
I love watching your videos. Very upbeat. I make my Christmas cards each year & I use the cards from Strathmore as well. I’ve had a hard time this year getting my brain & hand to work together since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer & had to have a Double Mastectomy a few months ago. I LOVE painting, it is so calming for me but I just can’t get it together. I have, however managed to get one started which has a tree 🌲 on it. I just hope I can get it finished & get myself together & get the rest of my cards done. Wish me luck. 🎨🖌️🌲
Thank you for sharing! Me too! I am such an inner perfectionist and critic that I have a hard time creating. But I have tons of fun watching and making art like you model!
I think I needed to hear you talk about making a masterpiece and be mad when it didn’t materialize. I am not an artist, but I love to make pretty things and I shut myself down before I even start. I love these cards! Thank you.
Hello Denise … You are amazing . Thank you so much for sharing this lovely idea. I was struggling with Christmas cards for the last few days.Then Voila, the artist strikes again.. a hole in one .. I am so grateful that you are willing to teach with such enthusiasm . You bring a smile to my face and put a song in my heart! I have found my unique style and it all began with you. I worked in pastels as my main medium for a long time having found my summer home as a place for inspiration. Watercolour and mixed media are a new found love. Thank you for just being you !
I was singing the Mission Impossible theme when you were adding the gold. Like a genius idea to tape off a simple triangle and make the most amazing Christmas cards. The gold made those trees. But i did love the pastel one too. LOL now to motivate myself and make a tree or 20. 😊❤😊❤
Hi Denise, I didn't think I would like these, Until you took that tape off then WOWIEE!! How beautiful these turned out, and I absolutely love the Idea of bookmarks. Thank you dearie you always surprise me, I think I could call you dearie since I'm old enough to be your Grammie. 🤗❤ These would also be cute gift tags (a smaller version of course) 😊
Oh no! Now I gotta go do up a bunch of these!!! You just wrecked my plans for the day -- but I ain't complainin'. I am thankin' you - lol! 🤣.... "liked/subscribed"😘
It was wonderful I am going to do exactly what you taught me to do! Laugh, sketch and draw and paint! Love the painters tape use for the trees, and I’m looking for stencils very where I go! You bring joy and laughter to learning, Thank you! Karen Dirmish learner!
These are great! I'm doing it! LOVE them. Its like you read my mind speaking of the anger and questioning myself. Then the light hit one day. Believe it or not you have removed my block. Thank you, I do not feel angry anymore. So glad you said that.
Denise, I’ve missed seeing your videos! My gosh I’ve missed your beautiful work. I guess I’ve been busy with my dogs, work and our house remodel. Merry Christmas. I’m here today trying to catch up a bit.
This is my first time seeing you and I Am Hooked I love the trees the noises well that just made my morning, lol I do the same thing and sometimes I do a little dance too . Happy Holidays ❄️☃️
Ah Denise, you are absolutely the happiest nut I've ever listened to - you are a joy and I love you and your art. ❤ from a very chilly Scotland 🏴
I love your sound effects. Keeps me inspired, for sure!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, expertise, and ideas throughout the year. Happy Holidays to you and yours😊
