Your writing is beautiful and I love the message! I have Jesus to thank for all the blessings that keep me going and I love the quote you gave! Yes, God is my shepherd and He gives me so much to be grateful for. Thank you Ginger!
I turned all of mine into liquid and pans and now are my only watercolor paint. I bought 15ml clear glass eye dropper bottles, labeled them, put the pastel in and filled with warm distilled water and overnight they liquefied. I then filled pans to dry. I used them so much more and now it's all I use.
Wow! What a unique way to use Neocolors! I've never heard of this technique before, but it seems like a fun and economical way to extend the life your set. Thanks for the tip, Mary.
Oh what a nice thing to say. Thank you Knack Ability for checking out this channel. I hope you come back. I'd love for you to linger. Neocolors are awesome, right? They're very forgiving. It brings back memories of playing with Crayolas as a kid.
I bought a 40-set of the Caran D'Ache after watching this video. I just love your painting, actually more than the crayons themselves. You make them sing, so much heart. I like the broken ones since I color with them on their sides. I actually broke and peeled a couple for "side coloring". I then colored with the rest of the broken crayon like an oil pastel. Thanks, Ginger, amazing talent.
Thank you for sharing this Ginger. The colors are amazing! I love all the textures you created. It is interesting to see how you were able to correct the water spill 👍🏽.
Hello my friend! Thanks Rae for visiting me. I'm always looking forward to reading your comments. Oh that spill! Truth is, I threw away the canvas out of frustration. After 2 whole days of hard work, the painting got decimated by a container of water! I'm just glad I went against my initial reaction and gave the painting another chance.
I'm so thrilled you liked it Ottery St Chocolat. The water spill was an unexpected accident and honestly, I threw the canvas on the recycling pile out of frustration. I wanted to give up but had second thoughts and reworked it instead. I agree with you. The outcome does look dreamy. I wonder if we just ended up discovering a new art technique... paint roller sponge! haha
You're so sweet! Thank you, Alice! I'm happy to meet you and I'm grateful for your support of this channel. I hope to see you again. You're always welcome in this channel :)
Hi Ginger Dear, great video as always. I finally had the time to get caught up on all your latest videos, very nice. I haven't done fabric art in years but seeing what you did with the Neocolor II's makes me reconsider. I hope all is going well for you. God bless you and your family, Linda (vangogo).
Oh my dearest Linda, I wish I can say all is well. There's been a death in the family due to covid and I've been juggling my grief with all the responsibilities I still need to do, including this channel. Do whisper a prayer for us... And thanks for supporting my work. I'll be sending a newsletter for my blog ... very soon. I realized I haven't yet posted anything this year. Urgh! Talk about backlogs!!! :)
@@GingerUmali Oh no Dear Ginger, I am so sorry to hear of the death in your family, may our Lord Jesus comfort you and your family as you grieve and cope with your loss. I will definitely be keeping you in prayer and supporting your work. God bless you and keep you well dear friend, even in the middle of all you are going through your sweet spirit shines through! God bless you.😊🤗🙏🙏🙏🏵🌸🏵🌸🌹🌹🌹
Thank you Karla. Glad to know you think so. I was actually despairing after water messed up the whole canvas. This video was compressed to 10 minutes but the real process took two days... and all of that, almost reduced to nothing because of the spill, made me cry. Thanks for watching. I'm glad to meet you in this channel.
I totally agree! We should find something that will take our minds off all the grayscales this tumultuous times are throwing at us. Let color brighten the mood!
I use acrylic sealers or spray varnish for all my paintings. I prefer a gloss finish over matte or satin. Matte finish mutes the colors and lessens the brightness of your painting--an effect that is disappointing, in my opinion. When applying fixatives to water-based media like watercolor or pastels, be extra careful. Put one light spray only then let it dry, instead of heavy coats all at once. You want to prevent the liquid from running and destroying your painting. Grumbacher, Liquitex, Krylon, or Golden are reliable brands but they can be pricey. Sometimes I use Plaid or Aleene's which are cheaper, but use it only on work that I don't sell to my clients.
Hi Robyn. Thanks for watching. I can't quite remember which pen I used for this particular painting. But for all my artwork, I only use two brands which are both a pleasure to use. One is Uni-Ball Signo and the other is Uni Posca paint markers. I highly recommend both of them. I work with multiple types of media and I find that these white pens can go over most of my supplies (watercolor, acrylic, colored pencils, inks, pastels, different types of paper, etc.) I hope that helps.
I forgot to add, those pens go well over gouache too, but not so much on top of oils. When using it over Neocolor, apply with a light hand. Don't scrape too heavily on the Caran D'Ache pigments since the crayon bits tend to clog the pen tip. It can easily be fixed just by wiping the pen occasionally with a paper towel. It's no big deal. The pen still does its job well. You just need a bit more patience with it.
What paper do you recommend using for a beginner who wants to practice instead of using a canvas? I'm inspired by the painting and want to learn how to use this.
So sorry I didn't see your comment right away! Please pardon me for replying only now. I made a long video that discusses paper, like what is the best type to use for the kind of paint medium you have. You might learn a lot from this ... here's a quick link... ruclips.net/video/zHOlR4q18j8/видео.html

I'm so glad the message resonated with you, Michele. Thanks for watching this video. Take care and be blessed always!
I think this is beautiful. A cross between VanGogh and Matisse.
Well done you.
Aaaw... what a generous compliment that is! Thanks, Ish. You're so sweet. Glad you watched.

I would call that a happy accident- your painting is beautiful ☺
Beautiful Ginger! Thank you and God bless

Your artwork ended up looking so beautiful. The dreamy effect is lovely and somewhat reminiscent of monet. You really created something very lovely.

Amazing, Ginger! I love those textures you create 🌸 the colour choice makes me happy, so beautiful.
The world is grey enough these days 😟

I love your choice of colors ... please share with us which colors for the vase? reddish flowers? Your work is incredible.
I love Caran Dache Neoncolor ii, but unfortunately most of them are not lightfast.
Hi, what would you use for fixative on a Neocolor painting like this?

Why not keep the shavings and make half pans, just a thought.
That's a good tip. Thanks Jennie. I didn't think of it.
What is the white pen you used towards the end? I was thinking about buying these over the Caran D’Ache pastel pencils.
Hi Robyn. Thanks for watching. I can't quite remember which pen I used for this particular painting. But for all my artwork, I only use two brands which are both a pleasure to use.
