05 Print & Collage Collaboration with Fulton Sim NYC

This is a print sent to me in Texas from Fulton in NYC.Thank you so much, Fulton, for your suggestion and selecting me to do a collaboration with. I learned so much, just as you said I would. I overcame my fear of ruining your beautiful print, fears of documenting my process, my "country girl twang," and all those judgments from others that we go through when we become "content creators." Your channel is amazing, and I appreciate so much that you wanted to help me launch my channel. What generosity. You Rock!!!
Thanks to all of you who are new subscribers and finding my website. Thank you to my other mentors and coaches, Judy Woods, Pam Caughey, Bette Ridgeway, and Jason Horejs, for your encouragement in so many ways.

Awesome job Kate! Your enthusiasm and sense of adventure come right through this video. I couldn't have found a better artist to do a collab with! I learned a lot as well, I would never have thought of doing partial layering as a method of achieving complexity in the image. Bravo!!

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Fulton. 🌿 Did you find it confusing about what we were doing together?

[@artwhisperer88]

@@KateWordArt No not at all, I realize you do things differently and I see things differently, and that is the whole point of a collab project! Good art needs to be seen and felt in the heart, not explained in words.

[@KateWordArt]

@@artwhisperer88 Thanks, Fulton.

[@lfaggell]

I agree!

[@KateWordArt]

@@lfaggell Thanks so much!

At the suggestion of Fulton Sim i watched your collab video ans found it very inspiring. Great to meet you. I also am a fan of Judy Wood. Small world.

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Susan for your inspiring comments. Great to meet you, too. Small world indeed.

[@KateWordArt]

I'm so thrilled, Milly. Thanks for letting me know. That makes me feel so good. Happy printmaking!

[@helenaxcelson4441]

🙌🙌🙌 that pop of vermillion at the end!

[@KateWordArt]

Yes, I thought so, too. I'm actually thinking of adding more. Thanks so much.

[@lindablumer9613]

Loved watching this, Great collab with you and Mr. Sim

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks so much, Linda. I enjoyed it very much.

[@arabellahorwitz2622]

So glad I found you!

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Arabella. I'm glad you're enjoying my channel. 🌿

Aloha from Hamburg, while i've already assimilated a pretty lot of delicious ingredients for my art-worx-cake from Fulton, i here found some more sweet and spicy ideas. thanx a lot, highly appreciated! cheers, Tom

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Tom, for your sweet & spicy appetite and your comments, too! Kate

[@BB-nz5sk]

Oh so awesome!! Fulton is doing collabs!!!

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, B B, for your awesome comments!

[@bohahnfeld9212]

Loving your work and love the collab with ArtWhisperer. Thank you for sharing!🌸💕🌸💕

[@KateWordArt]

Thank you so much, Bo. I appreciate your lovely comments.

[@superfly2449]

I enjoyed it. Your stencil shapes are brilliant.

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Super Fly, for your brilliant comments!

[@allthumbs3792]

Love your work! You're right about the process being different than painting forward. It's thinking in reverse layer by layer, to brighten or darken, to block or reveal. Very complex mentally when you are trying to bring out something constructed in your mind.

[@KateWordArt]

Thank you so much for your observations and responding to my video. Lovely comments are always appreciated.

[@yvonnewilliams7147]

Thank you Kate for sharing your experience and thoughts during your art making process. I am a new and intrigued subscriber. Yay for your collaboration with Fulton Sims. 🙇🏻‍♀️

[@KateWordArt]

I'm sorry for my tardy reply. Somehow, I missed your message. Thanks for your intriguing comments and your subscription!

[@PaulWalesArt]

Love the collaboration between the two of you. Fascinating to hear your take Kate and the decisions you made along the way!

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, D C, for your fascinating observations & comments!

[@barbriley583]

Nice to meet you, Kate…lovely print work…I too love art whisperer…I am Buddhist and his approach is very healing…life is quite a journey and at 76 I find the most calm in printmaking and music…your stencils are so interesting…

[@KateWordArt]

Thank you, Barb. I so appreciate your kind comments. Peace 🌿

[@ceciliaswatton6276]

Wonderful!

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Cecilia, for your wonderful comment 😀 ❤️

[@carolwunsch4546]

Hi, Kate! “Fulton sent me.” 😊 I am so new to this process that It was a good experience to see a different technique & pallette. While style & color choice are different, you have harmonized the two. Very nice result!

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Carol, for your observations and support. It means a lot to both of us.

[@cynthiakammann7368]

Yay❣️ Thank you both. This was like a fine wine paring experience. Thank you again for the fun and interesting watch. (Just don't ask me to distinguish between the food and the wine. 😉) The shameless agitator in my says,"More, please?," and "Maybe switch places?"

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks so much, Cynthia! How encouraging you are. That's a great idea! We'll see what's in our collab future!!!

[@BB-nz5sk]

You seem delightful! I had to subscribe!!

[@KateWordArt]

Thank you for your delightful comment and subscription!

[@renig5059]

Just popped over from Fulton’s channel to see the collab… well done 🤩

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Reni! I so appreciate and welcome you anytime.

[@leannedunneart2040]

Hi Kate, my interest in gelli printing had died off, but I am enjoying your videos so very much that I am giving it another go now. Thanks so much for sharing ♡

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks for telling me, Leanne. That's so encouraging. That happened to me, too. Your art is always inspiring. I'm in awe of your botanical paintings. 🌿

[@artlives8188]

By the way, I love what you’ve done!

[@KateWordArt]

BTW, Thank you, NIkki for your lovely comments on my channel!

[@lindablumer9613]

perfect!!!!

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks again, Linda, for your perfect comment!

[@BelindaPort]

Hi Kate, really like your work. You referred to a mentor in NZ. I could not hear clearly who it is. Would like to look her up as I am in NZ too.

[@KateWordArt]

Of course! Her name is Judy Woods, and she's in Whangarei, Northland. Her username on most social media is Judy Woods Art. Thanks for your lovely comment.

[@carolwunsch4546]

Wow - somehow, I missed the vermilion until now! 🎊 🎉

[@KateWordArt]

Thanks, Carol, for your WOW! Peace 🌿

[@artlives8188]

I must be thick headed but because this video is leaving me completely confused. I’m trying to figure out what you are doing in concert with Fulton. He sent you a print that you painted on top of? If you could explain the sequence?

[@KateWordArt]

Yes, Nikki, he sent me a print and suggested a collaboration. So, I have embellished with my stencils and collage. Sorry for the confusion.

[@artwhisperer88]

Hi Nikki! I thought of this project as an interesting experiment between 2 artists with similar yet very different backgrounds, so I expected it to be freewheeling and unstructured. I thought it was great fun to watch!

[@artlives8188]

@@KateWordArt Hi again! Now, I’m worried and I hope I didn’t offend either you or Fulton. I watched it again on my studio TV and listened carefully. I see now what you were doing. My apologies to you both. I love your videos. I look forward to the next.

[@artlives8188]

@@artwhisperer88 Hi Fulton, I apologize for the message. I was so interested but didn’t hear her explain the collaboration. I so enjoy both you and Kate.

[@artwhisperer88]

@nikkifarias6063 no worries Nikki, you are like family ❤️ I'm so happy that you watch our videos!

[@arabellahorwitz2622]

But, Fulton's print disappeared.

[@KateWordArt]

😢 yes, there are a few remnants. He gave it to me to interpret. 🌿
