    So cute and fun. Totally looking for no stress no real pressure ideas. Been just doing practice strokes and swatching all my paint into one book. Feels good to be painting but not having to create anything. Just need the evening wind down time. This might fit in with my current headspace. Thank you

    Oh gosh Debbie, just what I needed today..this could help me loosen up. I did something similar in a class many years ago but used WC to negavtive paint the shapes..its so fun to do..Thank You, Thank You❤

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  День назад +1

      It’s so freeing isn’t it! I find it helps to let go of any perfection and just play with the color and shapes, pens, glitter, metallics, get crazy gf! :-) This has always been a good creative exercise when I just want to relax, and dont feel like painting a masterpiece. (Although look how beautiful when we are just enjoying, and I know your will be just as fabulous!)

    Love this. When we got to the ink & pen part it made me think of Harriet deWintons book. You'd love it. I didn't glitter mine yet but I like it. This was very freeing. TY

      Oh I will have to take a look, I wouldnt doubt if I have it! lol. I have SO many from over the years~ I have repurchased books, then have to give them away because I already have it! I hope you give it a try, so much fun, and just relaxing and freeing xo

    This turned wonderful! The colors are perfect! An artist I follow does something similar but she also uses reverse stenciling.

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  День назад

      It is a lot of fun to play with the colors so interesting becvause I remember this technique in High School decades ago, of course now it has this fancy name "reverse coloring"! Things always come and go I suppose. Have fun with it!

    Big hugs teacher

      Je suis tellement content que vous essayiez cela, c'est un très bon exercice, surtout lorsque vous êtes occupé et que vous ne voulez pas trop réfléchir, ou vous inquiéter de quelque chose, ou même ne savez pas quoi peindre. Cela stimule vraiment l'imagination. Je suis content que vous ayez apprécié. Ce stylo à colle est très amusant, n'est-ce pas. Je l'avais oublié depuis toujours ! Joyeux ami qui peint, xo

    Thanks Debbie FUN> I need to learn more about adding salt. I can never get it todo what I want.

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  8 часов назад +1

      I know what you mean, sometimes it’s a challenge. I’ll have to try and do a video on that, a lot of people have asked! Ill create a short, what I have found is not too much water or it puddles and doesnt do a whole lot, just shiny damp, and sprinkle the salt on, not too much. I like the subtle look I get with table salt. The larger the sale granules the bigger the affects~ Ill create a short fo ryou friend. Its an awfully fun way to play!
