I love how freeing this is! Thank you.

This was so interesting....love it.

OMG, this is touching my soul. I've taken some of Alison's self-directed courses. I'm totally enthralled with the idea of initiative painting. The mark making, glazing, transfers etc. I'm a monoprinter and want to incorporate these ideas. Thank you! ❤️

I notice Alison, that you hold your tools like a writing instrument. When I draw loosley, I often hold mine at the far end of the instrument. What are your thoughts on this? 😊

I just found you. I love this!

Thank you for your beautiful art. I'm looking forward to having a go at this.. I love trees. X

Stunning 😍 merry Christmas

Really nice o watch this!

J’aime beaucoup ces arbres d’hiver. Merci Alison pour cette vidéo très intéressante. Je vais essayer de suivre tes instructions. Joyeux Noël. ❤

J'aime beaucoup. merci pour l'échange.

Beautiful project. Thank you so much for- I can’t wait to try.

Thank you that was fun and easy to follow

thanks so much Alison !!!! Love your work !

So clever.😊

Such beautiful results! On my way to the studio to try this right now. 🙌

Really enjoyed this, thank you. Get well soon. I’ve had a similar virus and it’s taking some time for the voice to recover. Rest your voice and get well soon. Happy Christmas. Jill R 🇬🇧

So beautiful, stunning pieces ❤ Really interesting to see how you put these marks together and have been inspired to have a go! I haven't checked yet to see if the materials are listed, thanks if they are and if not could you let us know the brands etc Thank you and happy Christmas 🎉

I love these! So easy and fun. Thanks for sharing

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing : )

Thank you for such a wonderful and helpful lesson. Very pretty and Merry Christmas to you also.

So beautiful 🌞🌟

I can’t wait to try making winter trees this way. They are all around me and I’ve been trying to figure out how to paint them without painting them. I love your results and the process itself. Thanks so much!!!❤

Thanks for the idea👍

What a fun idea!!! Thanks.

💚🌹👌😊gracias

Activate/deactivate/ activate/ deactivate repeat as often as necessary or unfortunately till you just quit!

Essa pintura.. sequer tenho bons adjetivos para dar. Lindíssima.

Thanks so much for this video. It’s how I learned to attach my work to the cradled wood boards and I come back to make sure I’m doing everything in the correct order. 😊😊

LET THERE BE LIGHT! Layer transparent color, lift some off, glaze, white, layer , glaze, lift, white …repeat ten times and push the darks up against it. Brilliant 🎉Learning and applying new techniques is an adventure. Another arrow for the quiver.

Thank you Alison! I'm struggling now in a course I'm doing on Expressive Landscapes where negative painting is a huge part. the instructor uses big brushes and confidently manages to get great looking stylized trees. Mine, not so much :) too tentative, not enough paint, possibly wrong brushes. This was so helpful and it also so wonderful to "see" you. thank you thank you, Patricia

WOW! I love it.

Thank you Jane great wee video. Ive used deep edge canvases and when l am working on a painting l take the paint round the edges, and keep doing that till the painting is finished. Ive seen other artists paint the edges in a single colour on deep edge canvases, l dont mean to be rude but ive never seen a clean finish. Whereas you have done a lovely clean job on the wood panels. They have smooth surfaces and lend themselves to a single colour. I did like the ochre and pink. Just a quick question. How do you protect the painting ? Maybe cold wax, and buff it up ? Sorry to ramble, but thanks again......Alioban ❤

i can just imagine what they would look like all painted with the cadmium light red/orange. on a white wall each painting would emit a beautiful halo of energy. my sister is on gabriola, one day i would love to take a live workshop with you or maybe you would like to come to the south of france?? :).

I've always done my edges in black, to me it feels more restful with the busy tops.Thanks for sharing I always love watching your videos, and I always learn something new. Thanks for all you do!

I was surprised how much I like the grey, well they all were nice. Lovely pink with the ochre. I usually paint my edges black but perhaps I will branch out. Thank you!😊

When you were painting the first piece in different color edges, I thought that was so different and artistic, but then you were only showing it as examples of each different color. Have you thought of doing that? Painting your edges different colors on the sides so it gives a different look or vibe to the piece when observed from various angles? Lovely artworks.

Love all these colors. This exercise is brilliant for just jumping into pure creativity !

Wow wow wow Alison! I am basically a representational watercolor artist who is absolutely mesmerized with the power of using acrylics for luminosity. I’ve just discovered your channel and it is so instructive and you are an amazing teacher and artist. I looked to hanging out here to watch, play and learn. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.

This was a fascinationg process to observe. Thank you, I can see how this would make the beauty of nature more natural.

This is JUST what I've been looking for, thank you!

I'm learning so much from you! Question, is latex matte gesso the same thing as matte medium?

Yours are wonderful. Please watch the Danish painter as like you she has a lot of good tips.

As always, Alison, you have great ideas. Your cards are works of the heart.

Thank you It’s very insightful and stirred my curiosity about intentional line making

Very helpful- thanks ❤

Love this! Thanks for sharing. One of my challenges is that acrylic darkens as it dries and my paintings come out too dark!

Beautiful work. Really stands out. 😊

The big dark shape looks like Bass Rock North Berwick Scotland 😍

Thank you, Alison, that was so informative and inspiring.
