Your cabin full of paintings on the walls is just a dream. Absolutely beautiful. What a joy! Thank you for another interesting meander through your working approach, ideas and inspirations.
Hello Beverley, heartfelt thanks for such encouragement - have a lovely week 🥰
I love our weekly visits Gaynor! You've captured perfectly the overwhelm we all feel at one point or another -- so many directions we could go in to the point we're immobilized. Picking one and having a go is important to break the funk that could set in. Also, I loved the "kitchen table" work and the play with cards. Be well!
Hello D C So good to read your lovely comment, I really appreciate it 🥰 Enjoy your week.
Love pastel over watercolor
Will give it a go 😀
I also discovered droplets on my cheese plant and thought I had a leak in the roof! I was up on a ladder feeling along the ceiling for damp patches and worrying about the cost of a repair 😂 my son said maybe it’s just the plant doing that….so like you, I googled and found out that it was the plant…..relief 😊
Hi Andrea, Good to know I'm not alone ! X
Love the leaves!,, great video, and your dog is so cute..
Hi Veronica, Thank you, I will let Rocket know he has a little fan club. Fox Terriers are very naughty but have huge personality !
I really like how the searching quality of the initial strokes of watercolor work with the rest of the ink and watercolor piece you started of the potted plant! I look forward to seeing how move forward with the watercolor and the pastel. Thank you for sharing! It’s always so beneficial to see how others work. M xx
Hello Maria, really pleased that you liked the video and thank you for taking time to comment. 🥰
Always happy to see what you’re up to! Love your experimentation, exploration, shifting, etc!! So inspiring!!
Hello L ....Very kind of you to say so....heartfelt thanks 🥰
My tabletop easel (legs removed) is a permanent resident of my kitchen table.
His art reminds me of stitchery art: The 62 Group Connected Cloth 2021...
The large on wall looks like a middle effect that looks like 2 canvases nx 2 ea other.
U usually have non centered pieces?
Plz keep sharing all the aspects of art...have been more encouraged to experiment since watching ur videos and all the other ones RUclips puts out because of watching Ur channel...such a variety.
Cubicle wall cabinet style hangers for organizing brushes, tubes of paint, etc does give more leg room! Thanks 4 so much-needed info to get thru the week til ur nx video packed format.
Will look up The 62 Group... So good to know you are experimenting. Have a lovely week 🥰
That Monstera is going to thrive with all the attention it gets 🤗🪴
As plants are receptive to vibes of admiration, you'll need to keep giving it a good dose of it on a regular basis 💚🥰 Keep the Monstera paintings coming, they're lovely!
I lOVE Monstera !!! It is doing well XX
Great video. Thank you.
🥰
Thank you Gaynor for your weekly videos. I'm always excited to see what your up to. Love that your breaking all the rules with the watercolours that's when unexpected and exceptional paintings can occur. See you next week.
Hi Claire, lovely encouragement, thank you so much. Have a great week
Lovely
Thank you X
Watching whilst feeling ill (and maybe a little doom and gloom!) and this video has cheered me up no end. Thank you for sharing your lovely self, and your lovely cheese explorations 🥰🥰🥰
I hope you feel better soon ❤❤ doom and gloom gate crash when you're poorly, you will regroup when you start to feel a bit better. A short story about Doom and Gloom ???!!!! Lots of Love ❤❤❤❤❤usual mother advice, eat good things, drink plenty and REST UP!
Had to wait until this late hour to watch todays video, it was as usual worth waiting for, I love your cheese plant drawings and I see your seashore painting is progressing.
Have a lovely creative week xx
Hi Anita, thank you so much - I thought about calling the painting 'she sells sea shells on the seashore' but 'Seashore" it is !!! I am having the best fun with it. Have a great week.
Absolutely love everything you do!
Very very kind - thank you Lori
I absolutely love your loose pen and watercolor cheese plant. You are inspiring.
Hi Michele, very kind of you, thank you 🥰
...she really is!!!! Thank you, Gaynor from Dallas, Texas USA.
Great ideas Gaynor..not enjoying the advert interruptions though!
Hi Linda... ME NEITHER !! Hopefully I've sorted it 🥰
Thank you for inspiration! You are amazing! I am very happy to find you!
Hello and Welcome Maya, very kind comment - thank you 🥰
Haha glad you said you have to many ideas and you don’t know what to do first. Again I’m the same….. and I did think maybe I should write it all down to see if that helps me not get so flustered with what to do first….. All your painting in the cabin look so fresh and beautiful, love the watercolour sketch at the end too! Looks so nice how it is, so delicate and light really looks great! Have a great week 👋
Hi Alicecile - good to know it's not just me that gets stuck ! Thank you for your kind words 🥰
Hi Gaynor, I was scared when you started the watercolour at the end…..I thought stop! What is she doing? 😂 I should have had faith. I love it. You certainly have a lovely free style, whatever medium you are using. Always excited to see the next step. Roll on next video. 💐
Hello Fiona - there are so many times when I edit the videos and think I should have STOPPED ! But I know I can do the first bit again and I might discover something - usually that happens when I am frustrated and a bit out of control !!!! Always good to read your comments. Have a lovely week.
Clear gesso over yr surface give lil sanded surface,soft pastels are yummy,
Hi Gaynor, enjoying watching your litle battes.
I have studied watercolour with a Swedish artist and have some suggestions for you:
do you see the bright green colour of the veins in the leaves? Make a good amount of that colour, then with the paper horisontal, put a good layer of water first on to the leaf you want to paint. Then drop some dollups of that bright green on to the “wet” leaf, and let the colour travel where it watts to go, allow to dry completely.
Next layer when totally dry, make a good portion of the darker green, paint it on to the leaf, but leaving areas of the veins and some corners of the leaf to remain bright green ( do study the leaves and notice how they are not JUST green😍… )drop some water on to the leaf into the new green and allow it to do its thing…watercolour is about letting the pigments do what they want….
try it it is a fun way…it takes a lot of water and a lot of drying time, but the effect is so much more free and lively. You may experiment with adding the darker green a bit before the first is totally dry and the colours may mix in a nice way.
Another idea is to use pastel on top of the bright green and smudge it almost to the edge of the leaf and allow the veins to stay bright green👋❤️
Hello Susana, Lovely suggestions....thank you for taking time to pass on some great info- I will make notes and follow your process 🥰
Gaynor, I am a pastel artist. Try using Lux Archival sanded paper. You can use watercolor or thin fluid acrylics and it won't buckle. Then you have the tooth of the paper for pastel. Not as messy. Enjoy!
Hello Sue, THANK YOU I will order some Lux paper and have a play!🥰
I found your channel and love your work, and especially what you find to “inspire”a work. Great creativity comes from the inspirations! Question, what paper are you using in your large pieces?
Lovely to hear from you Sherrie, thank you for watching and leaving such kind words. The large paper is 350gsm 🥰
Hi superfun😊❤🎉
Thank You 🥰
Hey Gaynor, if you prime the paper with clear gesso, you can layer more charcoal and pastels on the paper 🤗
Hi Hanne Marie, Thank you, I will give that a go 🥰
@@gaynorpattle❤
Im enamored with your great big journal. Do you remember what kind it is?
Maybe its magic!
I love a "Canson" A4 hardback sketchbook but anything A4, hardback with paper that can take mixed media will do the job nicely 😊
Yippee. It’s so exciting to see a new video from you. Saving it for tonight when husband has a friend coming to talk about hifi etc. You have no idea how encouraging your videos are for the wannabe’s like me. Thank you! See you later 👏
Hi Denise, I hope you like it - this is a two way thing because you encourage me ! 😍
@@gaynorpattle I’m still waiting to watch, confident it will be worth the wait. I’m nearly finished making my hand made art journal, made all the “signatures” and today I painted and sealed the repurposed book cover into which I’ll be gluing the pages. So satisfying. But instead of calling it a journal I’m going to name it “Great Expectations “ as encouragement to myself. First page? Mark making!
@@guitardee1 FANTASTIC .... be sure to keep me up to date on Great Expectations....so good to name it.....very exciting 🥰
Thank you. I glued the book and cover together today and as promised, I christened it with a few marks; I made myself hold a pastel pencil right at the very end so that I couldn’t control it (leftover crayons from my son’s days at college). Tomorrow comes the dedication which I saw on a scrapbooking video : “Your wings already exist, all you have to do is FLY”
@@guitardee1 your dedication quote makes me feel very teary 🥲I love it - thank you for sharing 🥰
What kind of paper do you use?
Hello Jan, I use 300gsm paper suitable for mixed media and more recently I've been using and loving really heavy weight watercolour paper ! 😊
