thanks so much!

thank you!!

you're welcome!

thanks, Deena! I couldn't cut the photo off, it's so gorgeous, so it was fun to enhance the story of it! (or at least the one I made up in my head!) haha... and the background. phew! it has my heart, too!

Thanks so much! 😊 And, ugh! always... if you don't stop at that perfect spot, they can get overwhelming and all mushed together. however, when that happens, sometimes I grab the gesso to push a bunch of it back and add white space...and sometimes, I grab some ephemera to cover up spots! haha. Always the problem with layers. the struggle of not enough or too many.

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much!

Thank you! 😊

oh, and yes - I didn't even see the cat until I saw the small square on instagram...and then others pointed it out on instagram too! but not looking at the bird part - bittersweet! my buddy Grayson loved looking at the birds (we said goodbye to him just over a year ago). missing him this week, so this was a sweet little moment you saw in my journal, thanks! :)

@@NicoleWatsonArt So now the journal page is even more special. ;-)

Yay! Thank you! Best compliment - means I did my job! haha... but seriously, it's a great one! I love how delicate the flowers are, and the variety.

thanks!!

oh, it was as struggle! but phew! :) thank you! I was truly worried at first. hehe...

thank you!! and thanks so much for buying several of my stencils - always such an honor for someone to purchase them. I truly hope they inspire you!!

thanks so much!!

Thank you! 😊

if you only heard what was going on in my head when I create! haha! thank you :)

ohmygoodness - thank you!! Truly.

thanks!

Yay, thank you! As a regular watcher - I'm sure you can! hehe So glad you love them!

thank you!!

thank you!! Me too! one of my absolute favorites to use in layers!!

hello! thanks so much! I do provide voice overs for several of my 30 Minute Thursday series videos if you join my channel as a member - you can subscribe for a month and watch them all and then cancel! :) hehe.. I just started my memberships maybe 9 or so months ago, so not all of them are available with voices, but I think there are more than 20 there now. I also have A LOT of other videos with voices available without a membership. I'm also always happy to answer questions as best I can. First, just in case you didn't know, you can slow down the videos on KZbin, especially if there's a part you want to see slower. That might help a bit (just make sure you mute the music!). I use the gesso watered-down and full strength. I start off light and add more as needed. Combo of finger painting and a paint brush...just depends on how it's looking! My gesso is by liquitex, so it might also be the type of gesso I use. The right side, that just happened from wiping the paint over to the right with the dirty baby wipe very lightly and then some of it away before it dried 100% - it's one of the properties of the paint that I"m using, so it might not work as well with other kinds of acrylic paint. (I'm using Golden's SoFlat line of paint mostly, the Payne's gray is for sure) Hope that helps with those questions! :)

thanks so much!! it's actually just matte medium! I buy it in a larger container and pour it into the bottle to save money :) I have accidentally watered it down when my paintbrush was too wet, and it doesn't work as well. :) (unfortunately!)

thank you!! it turned out so different than my "usual" but I love the colors that happened here and the dreamy quality.

Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you!! It’s actually an ephemera page from Red Lead Paperworks :)

Haha! I used it I think several weeks back on my tree pages… I don’t think you’ve seen those yet. (If you want to see it in action! Haha) and, thanks so much!! It

@@NicoleWatsonArt I've just watched both of them. I save videos as treats for working through my to do list. I'm single handedly clearing my dad's bungalow because my sister had an accident and her arm is broken in half between the shoulder and the elbow 😞 She is in a brace, but will most probably have to have surgery. Plus, I've pulled muscles in my arm with all the heavy lifting and my job in general, so I'm literally single handed 😂

@@elfincrafter Yikes! you both need to work together with your good arms. haha! You're going through (literally and figuratively!) so much right now... wow.. honored that my videos are a treat! :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you! 😊

Oh yes! I realized how neutral I went as I flipped through too.. but I think you described my art as of late perfectly... neutrals with surprise pops of colors! haha!
