Magnifique ❤❤❤

I coffee dye all the time, <3 I use the left-over coffee, and like your instant coffee idea! Also I add iridescent acrylic inks to the coffee...that makes it really cool! I too have so much family ephemera... I had to build a fire-proof room in my house! Also-- back to the 1830s... Pfew... Love love your stuff!

Hi from Nanaimo B.C. Canada! Thanks for your videos. Not only are they very informative but you are a hoot as well.😂❤

Love your work!!

Thank you! The more I have learned about oil painting it seems I have "lost" that spontaneity and freedom in painting and courage to explore. Nuts....but I know that is what is missing in my paintings. Backgrounds of portraits have always been my struggle. Often the background takes longer than the face itself! So I will explore with creating backgrounds first.

There should be an Awards show for Talented Artist like you! And the Da Vinci award goes tooooo...... Lydia!!!!!

WOW!!! I LOVED IT!!!

Yes, you captured the light. There’s a wonderful glow going on. 💜💜💜

Wow! Mystical, why don’t you? I think he’s whimsically dignified like a poetic archduke or sultan. He once sat on the iron throne, I’m sure of it. I actually hoped for a medallion around his neck as a sign of rank. Really, when I watch art being made, my brain makes me a lovely story. Thanks for painting beautifully. 💜💜💜

You're an art journaler!!!

I just love you!

Thanks babe that was sweet

I have been struggling to find a way to print things like this for transfers. Thank you so much!!!

Fabulous!

❤ love watching you 😂😂😂😂 saying hi fr Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦

I absolutely love this video. Your words as much as the art. My painting and drawing is about unlocking that inner child while outdoors in nature. All my paintings have begun as a playful experiment with no clear direction. I thought I was alone until I saw this. Thank you so much. ❤

Thank you Beautiful as it is. When in doubt leave it be

Love the painting and I very much enjoyed how you used all the different techniques, very inspiring.

Fabulous painting Lydia, thank you for sharing it with us and for all the tips about how you went about creating it. 😻

A lovely painting.

Beautiful ❤️ Do you only oil the face or entire painting?

Stunning, as always!

I subscribed after watching the acrylic pour with Elmer’s glue….but primarily because I love your personality!! Please do more acrylic pours (however I do like your other art but not in my talent tool box 😜

What is the name and size of the paint brush you are using to paint the frog. Thank you!

This really should be more distributed to more people and deserves a lot more views!🙌🏼😍 I wish you can share or post a reference photo of this for us beginner artists to practice on.

This was. Very informative. I have some on order and was very curious about using them. Thank you. Beautiful painting, by the way

Awesome stuff, your way of explaining reached me, thanks

Love it! As in LOVE! XXX Very creative.

I absolutely LOVE your art! I so want to try this!

That's honestly the first time I've been able to see the difference oil makes in a video. Excited to try it now!

I loved learning this!

😮😮😮😮😮just wonderful.. Hope , i could meet you... I want to learn your observation skills face to face . Really impossible it is ...but i wish it anyway..😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Wow! Just absolutely phenomenal! I love watching your videos and I appreciate them so much. ♥️

I like it. And I really like to see artist bringing their own down on canvas. I have a huge respect for poeple who are painting realistic. But do more prefor the "unic" style. Art is awsome becouse of its diversity. I am not really a painter, but when I draw/paint I always go by my way.

Watshing it again after 2 years, I really hope Johnny Depp will see that one day. It is stil as awsome as it was 2 years ago. 😁😉

That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing
