    Ukraine Fundraiser?

    • @rachelparkervarner
      @rachelparkervarner  2 года назад +2

      I attached it to the fundraiser, at least I thought I did - I've never done a fundraiser so hopefully it's here. Let me check.

    • @rachelparkervarner
      @rachelparkervarner  2 года назад

      Yes, it's on the right next to the video if you're not in full window mode, at least on my desktop. It may be in different places on different devices

    I have lots of.gray squirrels that demolish my sunflowers as soon as they bloom. So I gave up growing them. Yours are all beautiful!!! Especially the painted ones of course!!

    • @AnnieCappuccino
      @AnnieCappuccino 2 года назад +1

      Sprinkle cinnamon from the dollar store around your plants, or pepper flakes. It doesn't hurt the squirrels and chipmunks, but they hate it.

    • @rachelparkervarner
      @rachelparkervarner  2 года назад +1

      I have naught squirrels too. I feed them and that seems to keep them off my sunflowers. Not the best solution but what do you do?

    • @rachelparkervarner
      @rachelparkervarner  2 года назад +1

      I'll have to try that!

      Oh cool, I love bees! I have SO many flowers in my garden right now the bees seem to love and it makes me happy to see the amazing variety of different kinds of bees I see!

  • @YourTreasureForever
    @YourTreasureForever 2 года назад +3

    I'm not using your style for my 1st painting but I did like one of your sunflowers in your garden so I've used that as my reference to draw the shape before using watercolour and will send it to you when it's complete. For my 2nd piece I plan to use brusho using your technique for the center of the sunflower because I really loved the dimension i gives and the way brusho interacts with water in a controlled wet on wet manner really looks exciting! I might even throw a splatter or two on in honour of you. If you'd like to see them both, I will get in touch for your feedback.

    Super pretty! I tend to get very carried away with splatters and speckles… don’t know when to quit😂! So I tend to not use them very often… this looks so fun I’m going to have to try this. I absolutely love ALL of the Daniel Smith granulating colors- they are so beautiful and can effortlessly give such beautiful effect!

    • @rachelparkervarner
      @rachelparkervarner  2 года назад +1

      I love Daniel Smith colors too. Lamp Black is my favorite believe it or not!

    I loved the bumblebee, was sorry to see him go, but I also love your willingness to be adventurous and just see what happens...when we get too married to our pieces the fun gets lost I think

    • @rachelparkervarner
      @rachelparkervarner  2 года назад +1

      Yes and if we are not adventurous we don't grow as artists and our work stagnates!

    Rachel, thx for this! Is your paper vertical or horizontal, Dear? If I were painting on a vertical surface, I wouldn’t be using Watercolor paint. Not even if the paper was taped in place.
