Denise - you are such a joy. That tickled laugh you get cracks me up bc as artists - we definitely get a little shot of dopamine from our silly art antics 😂 Thank you for being so inspiring this year! I’ve learned so much from you about just doing it! Thank you for reminding us to BE BRAVE - and laugh while we do it❤
You're so inspiring and fun to spend time with! I'll be 81 in January and have received a gift, or maybe I'm just more mindful. I see things! lol When you were flipping pages, one of your paintings looks like the profile of a woman wearing a beautiful, elaborate hat. Yesterday, I binged watched and saw several "gifts". One was a dog with two legs. His mouth wide open and his tongue visible! I know, I'm certifiable!
Denise those blue circles on that green were so satisfying. Love the movement and textures in this piece from the pastels.Have a great weekend. Hope your furbabies are good too.😊
That sketchbook page turned out really beautiful, and it absolutely complements the previous one. Thanks for the tour through the sketchbook. I love the wide variety of looks, and all are inspiring and beautiful! Wishing you a happy, colourful and creative 2025!
Beautiful page. It is such a complementary colour to the orange painting (that is before the jute page). You get the vibrancy of the orange followed by the calmness of the blue colour. Lovely and pleasing to the eyes! 💕
Sooo fun - I’m inspired now to pull out one of my handmade journals again and paint with the blues and greens. That blue oil pastel - ugggh I love that one!💙
Hey, Denise. Circles for the win!!! This was such a fun page. You mentioned that the white dots are magical. Well, I say that YOU are magical. Your giggle alone makes me want to be your next-door-neighbor SO bad! I always end up with a smile on my face. So… I remember when you started this book. What a lovely treasure trove you have here. I can’t wait to see the what you do with the cover! 😊 Have a great week. Happy 2025!🎉
Not gonna lie when you did the green stencil I thought "oh no!" . But like always you pull it together and I end up loving it!! So much. Leaving for 10 weeks in Mexico in a a couple of weeks and I've got my journal and my goal is to fill it up while gone. You inspire so much!!
Beautiful. ❤ I love the flip through Denise. It really does show a different perspective to look back at all the pieces you have created. It gave me an idea for my initial acrylic paintings/canvases that I don’t know what to do with. I will create a large journal book to be a home for those canvases. I can remove them from the frames and mount them flat. Then use the colours for mixed media inspiration on the attached page. Good 2025 project for me. Thanks for always sparking inspiration and joy. This has been a difficult year for me. You, and your art, have helped me get through it. Hugs from me to you😊
Love EVERYTHING you have in your book. What an inspiration and it is so nice to hear you admire your own work. Love that! Thanks as always Denise and Happy New Year to you and your little pups. 🎆 🎨 🖌🎊🎆⛅❤
Those are flashback colors. I know the type of dress you described. Love the gesso with the large blue dots and how the blue fades out. The flip through was fun….I remember you painting all of them and it doesn’t seem like that long ago. Now that I’ve finished Christmas cards and have most of the supplies put away, I’m so ready to start on a journal. I’ve waited way too long and keep putting other things ahead of it. I’m thinking I’m “skeered” to start it. Thank you, my friend. A big ol’ hug to you.🤗
It sounds like you have a really fun journal in your future! I hope you start soon - it will be so worth it! I am obsessed with working in them now. It is exciting to flip through them... the journal is a piece of art... and all the pages are pieces of art... and I love looking through them... and the art isn't sitting in a bin in my closet. You'll love having one when it is finished!! 🤗🤗🤗
This one definitely has the 50's vibe. I love it! Mom used to have a cool plastic chair that color green!!! For some reason that color of green is very surprising and playful too. Your book is soooo tasty!!!!! 🎉❤
What a paint day! The colors are just spot on! The blue circles made it for me. Funny what makes an painting interesting 😁😍... See you in the next video.
Q. Would love to see vod on: * All your stencils 😅 *All your favorite art pieces made so far *Favorite color palettes so far showing art pieces *Fav supplies of the year
Lol! “Wrong green!” Is going up there with “Be brave!” In my fave Denise Love quotes. This is so cool. So, would this be considered a wet on wet or would you have had to get it wetter first?
Denise......am a member of Skillshare and wondering which class is best for learning how to create the type of journal that you are working in during this video. Love your flowing and spontaneous creative nature! It is inspirational! Having painted fairly realistically in the past......still working on loosening up and working with the layers and mixed media materials. Really enjoying your channel and offerings on Skillshare. Thank you!
The Artisanal Journals is the 1st journal class I made directly inspired by this journal: skl.sh/3V8Yoad ... then I was so inspired with the journals that I have a whole series of journal workshops.. they are at the top of my classes on my profile page: www.skillshare.com/en/user/2lilowls
Yes! I'm pretty sure all of the pages are here on the RUclips channel and maybe coming up if I got the videos out of order... they are all in the art journal play list! 🤗
Wrong green…..no not that green either….maybe this green…..lol….good save Denise! I love all of the pages you’ve done in that book. I don’t remember seeing a video of the page with the angel wings….I want to do something similar…..if you did a video on that page, could you link the video, so I can watch? I’ve tried and succeeded, for the most part, a lot of the pages you’ve done. I’m learning to like greens and oranges more from watching you, so thank you for that….I tend to stay with blues, pinks, purples.
The angle wing page got partially painted before I realized my camera was off… then I added the wings in another video that has got 2 paintings in the video. I do not recall which one that may be though. That wing is a wing stencil. Maybe from stencil girl. 🤗🤗🤗
Just the sets are pricy because they have so many colors in them. The individual colors are just $10-$12 - which is cheaper than a lot of my Daniel Smith colors and some of my other brands. You could pick your favorites to try! 🤗
That would be fantastic words for 2025! Mine for 2024 were possibilities and abundance… and they were perfect - so I’m going to keep those for 2025. 🤗🤗🤗
Denise - you are such a joy.

You are so welcome! It's my pleasure to be a part of your artistic journey! 😊 Happy New Year!! 🥳

I love that you see these things! It’s amazing how our minds work! 🤗🤗🤗
I also see images 🙂 In today's painting, right bottom quadrant, I see a mother holding her baby. 💖
Promise all of us you will do a slo-mo of your journal journey ❤ at some point. Well done!
Definitely! 🤗🤗🤗
Denise those blue circles on that green were so satisfying. Love the movement and textures in this piece from the pastels.Have a great weekend. Hope your furbabies are good too.😊
It was a fun one to create! I hope your weekend is good too! 🤗🤗🤗
Literally always a joy to paint with you. Your joy and laughter are contagious.
You're the best! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

Beautiful page. It is such a complementary colour to the orange painting (that is before the jute page). You get the vibrancy of the orange followed by the calmness of the blue colour. Lovely and pleasing to the eyes! 💕
Thank you so much! I love how those two pages came together too! 😊
I loved today's blues and greens and the mungyo circles on top of the circle stencil. Great paint day!
It was a great paint day. I love how this one worked out!! 🤗🤗🤗
These colors are my top 2 also❗️. I loved your story about going back in time on the patio❣️❣️😂😂. Good job & it’s beautiful💚🩵💙💙🩵💚
It’s a fun color combo to work with! 💙💚 Thank you! 🤗
Sooo fun - I’m inspired now to pull out one of my handmade journals again and paint with the blues and greens. That blue oil pastel - ugggh I love that one!💙
It was fun to paint this one! I hope you have fun with your blues and greens. 🤗🤗🤗
I’m moving into books for my paintings after watch this…..❤thank you
It really is cool to have a book when you get it filled up to look through. Makes me smile every time. ☺️
I keep loving that creative and inspiring book more and more! ❤
Me too! It makes me smile every time I look through it now! Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

I love that you're taking your journal with you to Mexico! I'm sure you'll fill it with amazing art! 🤗🤗🤗

I have missed you and your videos. Removing from eye surgery. You are the best
So glad to hear you're recovering! I hope you're doing well. 🙏 🤗🎨
Awesome paint day, love the colors!
Thanks so much! I love these colors too! 🥰
Great page. Wrong green or not, the page is nice. Great idea for a coffee table book. It will be so worth admiration…Merci😊
I’m so glad you liked it! 🤗
I bought my first Posca pen last night (because of you!!!) Gold!!! It works on clay... I'm using it on my project today!!!
Oh, that is exciting! I hope you love the gold! 🤗🤗🤗
Love EVERYTHING you have in your book. What an inspiration and it is so nice to hear you admire your own work. Love that! Thanks as always Denise and Happy New Year to you and your little pups. 🎆 🎨 🖌🎊🎆⛅❤

What a wonderful painting! The whole book is something to be proud of. Thank you.

I love those colors and the circles are the bomb 😳😂 right now.
Thank you! 🥰
Q. Would love to see vod on:
* All your stencils 😅
*All your favorite art pieces made so far
*Favorite color palettes so far showing art pieces
*Fav supplies of the year
Those are all great ideas - I'll keep them in mind for future videos! Thank you! Happy New Year!! 🥳
Lol! “Wrong green!” Is going up there with “Be brave!” In my fave Denise Love quotes. This is so cool. So, would this be considered a wet on wet or would you have had to get it wetter first?
Wet on wet... would be painting wet paint over paint that is still wet I'd think. So glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you! 🥰

@@2lilowlsstudio Thank you!
Did you record all the pages you've done in that journal? There were several amazing pages I had never seen before.
Yes! I'm pretty sure all of the pages are here on the RUclips channel and maybe coming up if I got the videos out of order... they are all in the art journal play list! 🤗
@2lilowlsstudio ok thanks I will definitely check it out!!
❤❤❤
Thank you! 🥰
So, pretty. One of your videos you were using really thin brushes. Can you share which ones they were, thanks.
Thank you! 🥰. I list what I’m using in the descriptions. I don’t know what I might have been using.
🥰🎄❤️☃️
Thank you! 🥰

How about some blue triangle half’s.
Maybe on the next piece! 🤗
Omg I DREAM of owning a set of ocean paper, but it’s SO pricey 😢
Just the sets are pricy because they have so many colors in them. The individual colors are just $10-$12 - which is cheaper than a lot of my Daniel Smith colors and some of my other brands. You could pick your favorites to try! 🤗
That will be my words for 2025, I hope it’s okay with You, Denise? I wanna borrow the words from You. I’m talking about; Be Brave!
That would be fantastic words for 2025! Mine for 2024 were possibilities and abundance… and they were perfect - so I’m going to keep those for 2025. 🤗🤗🤗
