That was fantastic and I enjoyed the feeling of creativity. Ima textile artist who can draw freehand with my sewing machine but put a paint brush on my hands and I freeze up.. Now with disability I’m learning and realizing I can create with paint but must let go of perfectionism.
I've been searching for what really inspires me to jump in and get creative. Now...I've found it...found you! I love your voice, detailed descriptions, your creativity and I know this is my direction! So excited! Watching all your youtubes.
Hi Maria! You are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing. I recently had a serious back surgery that has failed and as I lay here in pain, your art demo has given me joy and hope to create again. I look forward to trying your techniques when I feel well enough. I look forward to watching and lewrning in the meantime. Thank you again. I appreciate you!💕💕
I just love your courses I am addicted to them and I highly recommend anyone to sign up and take some courses with Maria, her classes are so therapeutic and inspiring and I love how she shows you how to experiment, something I love to do with my artworks too, thank you so much Maria!!! xx
You are an art genius miss Maria!! And in every class you make me laugh out loud bc of your fun self reflection. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful creations, your time & your very fun personality - I am truly grateful!!
Wow!! I love what I learned. I need to buy some cheese cloth and faux gold leaf. English is hard, and you’re doing a great job narrating your videos. Thanks for sharing your creativity ‼️
Thank you so much for watching and for your warm words. I'm so glad that my video was inspiring and educating. Please join my FB group to get more even more inspiration: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo
Thank you for showing me how to use the Acrylic Modeling Paste and what colors to use. I must wait for the paint to dry before I can make the Gold Mirror and use the black and white pens on it.
woooHoooo Thank you so much and thank you for watching! I can't wait to see what you will create. Please post your experiments here: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo
I have been “stuck” in my creativity, but I’m so glad I found your channel - I feel like creating again. LOVE this process and can’t wait to try it myself. Thank you!!

I loved watching this coming together. So many times I was thinking 'that's lovely as it is, don't add anymore', then you'd add something else, and I would be thinking 'noooo .. don't do that', but then minutes later I would start to really like it. By the end, I absolutely loved it. I never ever thought I would like abstract art, but you've helped me to love and appreciate it and I really love looking at all the organic shapes, colours and textures and finding what it makes me think of. Thank you so much ❤️🎨
Thank you so much for watching!! Please don't be shy to show your experiments in my FB group, there is a lot of inspiration and amazing group of artists: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo
Very good Maria, I like textured look and good color choices also. You gold flecks and black and white lines to define also enhanced your shapes. Thank you for sharing your artwork skills and technique s. AWESOME!

Wow, this is the first of your videos I have seen and I am so happy to find you! You have inspired me so much, I just love your style, I love bright colours and contrast and of course, texture! I have all of the ingredients you used, I just needed your excellent tutorial to show me what to do with them! Thank you so much, I will be checking out all of your videos!💕from🇨🇦
r @@Abyssimo Sorry for the late reply. I'm not even set up on the computer, via website or FB....rather create than keep up on computer stuff. Hope to load some pics on Facebook soon.
This is amazing. Love everything about it. Love the mixed media of all the elements and the fact that you layered watercolor paper on top of canvas. Textures and colors make the very best artworks! I signed up for one of your classes. I can’t wait to start it.
Thank you dear Lisa! I hope you will enjoy the course that you've purchased. Are you a member of my inspiring FB Group? Here you go: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo

Thank you Maria, I can't wait to have a go at doing this. My art room is currently packed up and in storage as we were about to move house before lockdown - once we have moved I will give it a try!
Gorgeous colors and textures. Excellent use of contrasts. I learn so much from watching you. Soon I will dive in. :) This is one of the best videos I've ever seen.
I want to do that! :) Love love love your style and your style of teaching Maria ♥ Will be signing up for one of your classes...as soon as I can decide which one :) A big and sincere thank you for all you share so freely 🙏
AMAZING!!! Thank you for Sharing your incredible art. I’m so excited to try some of these techniques. I do want to know about sealing this. I was thinking I would use a cradled wood panel instead of a canvas. That way no framing is needed but I am sure it should be sealed with acrylic sealer. Your thoughts on that?
Thank you for watching Vivian! Yes, wood panel will work well too. Please don't be shy to show your experiments in my FB group, there is a lot of inspiration and amazing group of artists: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo
Thank you, Maria for making this wonderful and educational demonstration free to us. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the different mediums used throughout this project and look forward to trying something like following your footsteps of using supplies. I think I have everything I need to make something that will be satisfying to create and display. Thanks again.
Thank you so so much for watching! Please join my FB group to learn, to share your results and to get inspired by my students: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo
I loved the freeness of letting your imagination go!! I need to buy some cheesecloth and paste. By the way, how do you feel about homemade modeling paste? Thanks!
Thank you dear Tracey! Yes, cheese cloth adds really cool texture. And of course any modeling paste, any successful experiment with it is great! I'm going to explore how to make my own paste. Please share if you have any ideas and join my FB group (if you didn't already) to get inspired by my amazing students and other artists: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo/
I clicked your Facebook link and was taken to what seemed to be a gamer's site. The application questions seemed to be in Thai and there was no translation function. Have you changed the focus of your Facebook group, or is the link wrong?
Wonderful! Sandy, you could use gesso with cheese cloth. You probably won't get peaks, but you will still get a cool background. Please share your results here: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo/
Hi Maria, I am loving working in this way. I've had a real problem though with the Mirror effect leaves..... they seem to be taking the glue off instead of coming off onto the glue. What am I doing wrong?
Тhank you for you questions Summer. You don't need any special double sided tape, but here is one, that might work: www.amazon.ca/Reusable-Multipurpose-Transparent-Removable-Anti-Slip/dp/B07ZKBSX6D/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=double+sided+tape+transparent&qid=1601637174&sr=8-5
Dear Maria. I did not understand what the price for the online course you offer. one-time payment? Or a fixed monthly payment? It is not clear and I would be happy for a detailed explanation that I will understand. Thanks
Well< I tried to do it and it didn't work very well. I like your video very much. I put aside my concerns aside and enjoyed process creating something different. Will try again.
Of course Nat, not always you can achieve results from the first try, especially when you use new materials and techniques. Please join my FB group to learn and to get inspired by my students: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo
I do like your ideas and watching your videos. But I do find I need to concentrate on the brush/colour area as it is really disconcerting looking at the awkward way you are holding your brush or tools. My problem I guess but still enjoy all your ideas, thank you.
I loved that, I think it was Fantastic. I have never seen you before, but I will look for you. You have a lot of talent.
Thank you so much for kind words and for watching! Please take a look what my students create: facebook.com/groups/abyssimo

Hi Maria, I am loving working in this way. I've had a real problem though with the Mirror effect leaves..... they seem to be taking the glue off instead of coming off onto the glue. What am I doing wrong?
It's very strange Jenny. Maybe it's expired glue? Also, are you sure you place the leaf on a right side.
This is beautiful. I imagine one could just do this directly on the canvas as well, yes?
Thank you Bernice! yes, absolutely! Directly on canvas :)
8 love it
Thanks Maria. Is there a Canadian equivalent for your double sided tape? Couldn’t find that one on amazon.ca
Тhank you for you questions Summer. You don't need any special double sided tape, but here is one, that might work: www.amazon.ca/Reusable-Multipurpose-Transparent-Removable-Anti-Slip/dp/B07ZKBSX6D/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=double+sided+tape+transparent&qid=1601637174&sr=8-5

Hey there. I'm originally from Toronto, but escaped the rat race to move north-east into the country. You on Facebook?
Would you mind telling me what size the canvas is? Thanks.
I think I used 9"x12" inches.
😍
Than you for watching
What can I use instead of cheesecloth?
YOu could use any type of rough fabric.
Dear Maria. I did not understand what the price for the online course you offer. one-time payment? Or a fixed monthly payment? It is not clear and I would be happy for a detailed explanation that I will understand. Thanks
Dear Sosh, it's only one time payment.

Hi Deborah, yes, please use coupon code supersale50 to get any class for half price. I want my classes to be affordable in this tough pandemic time.
