You sound great and the mic tip is great! Is it bad I hope those pans continue to hold out on you and tease you with all their power? 😆 I hope you do find some fun in challenging yourself and so excited to see what you do!
Lol, they are literally TOO wonderful!! 🤣😂 Thank you so much for this lovely comment, and thank you for making these wonderful watercolors and glass palette. I remember ordering it and waiting with so much excitement for it to arrive (before I even started this channel). It has been such a pleasure to get this deep into the pans!!
Go for what you want, Maggie, and we'll enjoy going along with you as you play and experiment. As for art goals. for 2023, I haven't really thought about it, but I think the big one remains - to get outside and get paint on paper. It's the only way I'm going to regain my confidence, because I'm not really motivated by indoor work, unless I'm prepping or teaching a lesson (which I love, btw... ). And I love being out of doors, drawing and painting what is there to be drawn and painted (that's sort-of everything!). So, thanks for making me put that thought 'out there'! 😊
It's very cool that you check up on your past goals. A tip for the gouache that dried up on the tubes, you could have opened them and mixed the dry gouache with water in a cup to reactivate if you didn't want to just throw them away. I am also almost done with my small Liquitex acrylic tubes. I have around 30 tubes and have only like 12 left.
That’s awesome, way to go on moving through those tubes!! I didn’t think water would wake up acryl gouache the way it does traditional gouache, does it work with the acrylic? Thank you for the tips!!
@@CreatingCuteArt Not sure but it is worth a try. For regular acrylics when I find them getting hard and separating from the binder I just squeeze the paint in the tube and move the binder around and that helped reactive a tube that I was going to toss because it was way too dry. For another tube I emptied it out on a different container with a lid and used water to reactivate it. It worked but it was a lot of mixing, like a lot lol
Thank you so much!!! I get nervous to share them but thank you for your kind words!! Those tubes were a huge achievement to use up, I was so close but didn't quite get through them all! 🤣🤗❤️
I like your goals...I am just now starting to think about what mine will be. As for improving. your portraiture, I have been doing the 100 heads challenge (in my own time, not doing the 100 heads in 10 days thing) and my ability to draw portraits has improved drastically!
One of the biggest things I have learned from RUclipsrs is to give myself the freedom to play in my sketchbooks and make ugly art. Sandy Hester has a saying I like to write in my sketchbooks as a reminder "all the bad goes into the good". I learn so much more from watching my RUclips community try new things and struggle through the process!! Thanks for sharing your 2023 goals!!
I totally agree!! I love Sandi's channel and rewatch many of her videos over and over. You enjoy that sketchbook play, you're on exactly the right track!! 👍❤️🤗
Isn’t it satisfying to see used up/empties art supplies?! Best feeling ever in my opinion. Your are doing an amazing progress with those watercolor! I was wondering, do you have another palette that you want to work on after you are done with the Regina’s or are you going to get refills? I love your gouache (traditional and acrylic) paintings! Super hyped to see what you will create with those paints. Kind of funny how this video came out today because last night I was working on my art goals list ❤ For me is use up my glitter gel pens, washi tapes, acrylic paints and some of the sketchbooks that I’ve been neglecting since I don’t know when. 😂
That's a great list!! After I finish this one, I think instead of using a single palette up, I'd want to have a goal of rotating through all of my paints (using a different palette for each painting) so that all of my palettes get good use!! I love acrylic paint pens and washi tape. Good luck with your progress this coming year!! 🤗🤗🤗
Although not formalized, I’ve been letting myself create a lot of bad art practicing being a bit looser and freer. I’d like to continue this practice because every now and again I paint something I don’t hate! Progress. Like many artists, I also want to be more conscious of using the fun variety of art products I own and practice using them together!
That is awesome!! I'm glad that goal resonated with you and that you're taking a similar journey already. It is so oddly scary, even though no one else *has* to see the results, but somehow it's still so nerve wracking to create things that aren't up to snuff! So worth it to push through, I have to remind myself!!
i had one goal from 2022 which was to just paint more. i love yours though, i'll definitely need to sit down and think of more specific goals for myself, thank you! and i absolutely agree about leaving comments. i've seen viewers on my channel make friends through comments as well and it always makes me smile to be able to witness those connections. thank you for an inspiring video!
Hey Maggie! Thank you for sharing your goals with us! I set personal goals each year, but never thought of setting art goals. I wish you would link the microphone you are talking about. I probably need to figure out how to improve my sound, etc. But, never find the time...I'm too busy trying all of the art things. Haha, luckily we have such a sweet understanding community I don't seem to get comments about that. I think your videos are perfect, just as they are!!! They reflect your amazing personality, and your passion for art...which is why I try to never miss a video (unless I know I'm doing the same thing, then I wait until I've published my video to watch). I hope all of your RUclips goals and dreams come true for 2023!!! Too funny, I never hit pan because I refill my pans once much paint is gone. I'm too worried it will ruin my brushes digging in the holes. I guess I'm weird like that!?! I can't wait to see more of your artwork and what else you make with the acrylic markers. Thanks for the shout out, you are so sweet! Oh, also on the acrylic gouache. I wonder if you could add some of the Turner Acrylic Extender to tubes that seem to be drying up? I haven't tried it, but it might be better than tossing them? Big hugs my friend, and Merry Christmas!!! 💗
I linked the mic in the description, so check it out (although I find your sound and video quality great already)! I totally see being scared to hit pan in a typical half-pan, I do indeed think it could be bad for a brush to jam it to the bottom (I like to swirl it in the paint on its side when things get low)! I think these low rim square pans are why I'm not worrying about it in the Regina's palette. I love this thing!! I did try using the Golden retarder in the dried up tubes but they were just such a terrible consistency even when they sort of woke up, I was getting so frustrated and said to myself, why am I using a supply that actively annoys me and makes me not want to paint? That's when I gave myself permission to toss them. I am super excited to use my Holbein and Liquitex, and even my little Blick bottles, so I'm letting myself focus on the supplies I love!! I see why people love Turner with these three tubes, because they're creamy and dreamy, but so many went dry on me I just got totally fed up! I hope you meet all your 2023 goals, too, and thank you for all of your delightful, inspiring, and fun videos. Your introduction to the Arrtx Brush acrylic markers was a top tip of my entire year, I'm loving those things!!!
More risks, more weirdness. YES! Definitely on the same page, I have two sketchbooks devoted to ugly, quick sketches that no one else sees. It absolutely helps free you up to paint from your imagination when it's just for you. Great video, good luck with your goals oh and, sleeping doggo...best way to end every video. Happy Holidays 😊
I love seeing your comments, Meka!! You are one of the people I was thinking of when I was talking about this amazing community! I would love to see you getting in the sketchbook. Just remember, no one gets to see it unless you choose to share--think of it as your diary! ❤️🤗❤️
The painting in 8:00 is so gorgeous 😍😍😍😍 I'm usually not a fan of portraits but I really like your portrait style. If you feel discouraged to try your style because you are not 100% happy with the result try different approaches, like try starting drawing from the fundamental lines, or start free drawing with eyes, nose or even the lips. Sometimes it takes a different approach to realize what you like and don't like in your paintings.
I think you did very well-lots better than me. Your comments about your portraits leapt out at me. You know I love your work. I came for the cute animals I stayed for the landscapes. But the your painting of the face seeming to come out of the clouds really caught my attention. I liked it. Consider maybe there is another side of you trying to show itself in your portraits. Break loose one day & let it flow. Wishing you & your a wonderful holiday & a healthy & Happy New Year.
I am writing my goals as a spreadsheet with goals of using art supplies and number of arts/paintings. As a person with not much time, I will see how it goes. Currently I am working on birds and making them look interesting but I need to get back to trees and rocks. Thanks for sharing.
How fun! Sandi Hester did a whole challenge last year with painting birds, many came out super cool. I hope you enjoy as you keep creating in the new year!!
That's awesome!! I am definitely doing that challenge, but I was thinking of doing multi media (ie, watercolor and gouache and acrylic, just to practice different mediums too)--I will definitely use graphite, too!!
lovey xmas bauble 😀🎄 i def need to get a small tripod for side filming on my desk even if im working digitally, all my goals for this coming year happen ro be all computer based
I bought few tubes of Turner Gouache this year not the acryl. I was afraid it will dry on me because I don't use it often enough. I have watercolors that I used for years they not even close to be used up. Like my oldest VanGogh set of 18. It was my primary pallete for 2 years I used up only 5 colors.
That's amazing! I agree that watercolor is amazing in how it will just last years and years. I think with one solid watercolor palette, one fountain pen and a good mechanical pencil, most artists would just be buying paper, ink, and lead once a year and they'd be set almost for life!
I forgot to add this into my comment: Have you had a chance to see Annie Noodle's latest video, acrylic painting on tiny surfaces? So many cute pieces, I thought of you! ruclips.net/video/gSsbrOufNrM/видео.html

lovely to hear your goals for next year 😃
Thank you for watching!!🤗
I love these Goals videos! I should probably set a few myself. 😀
I know using up the Himi watercolor would be on there!! 🤣🤗
@@CreatingCuteArt hahaha, yep!
You sound great and the mic tip is great! Is it bad I hope those pans continue to hold out on you and tease you with all their power? 😆 I hope you do find some fun in challenging yourself and so excited to see what you do!

That’s a good goal for me too, to do more from imagination. I would also like to make a habit of sketching at night before I go to sleep.
That's awesome!! I also like to do that, just like a 30 second - 1 minute session to send me off right!
Here’s to more hittin’ pan in 2023! Looking forward to more creations and explorations!
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are doing great with your goals. My goals are the same as last year - work through the supplies I have LOL
Well that's an ongoing lifelong goal for me, lol!! 🤣 You've got some gorgeous watercolors, you will continue to have a blast with them! ❤️❤️❤️

Also big kudos to you using up all those tubes, I have so many haha
Thank you so much!!! I get nervous to share them but thank you for your kind words!! Those tubes were a huge achievement to use up, I was so close but didn't quite get through them all! 🤣🤗❤️
@@CreatingCuteArt Hey at least you got most of them, that's a win :D
