Your skills are remarkable,

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you! I still have lots to learn!

[@sheilarae51]

How I love watching you paint and listening to your narratives e. It evokes many different emotions for me. Will you be offering virtual workshops in 2024? I can’t wait to learn from you.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Yes, absolutely - I have been so busy working on my solo show I haven’t set the dates yet!

[@KarenK-r4f]

I just love your work. You remind me it’s supposed to be fun 💚💜💙

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Great to hear! If it’s not fun it becomes work!

[@LindaRUDYK]

Fab! Instead of stencils could you do monographic collage pieces?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Absolutely! I often use collage in the under painting.

[@suzijorgensen6545]

The underlayer is a beautiful piece in it's own way ❤

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks! Sometimes hard to let go!

[@Spidy388]

Your techniques are just fascinating. I could watch you all day! Beautiful!

How has YT only just presented you to my feed? ❤ your work!

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks so much! Glad you found me.

[@attechoutdoors5893]

I really like your style of art work…I painted few years ago won some art shows, then I just quit… but I still want to go back and start painting again. I like the abstract style you do with figures. I feel I have a new vision for painting different from loose realism to a looser style. Thanks for your videos. May God bless your future videos.. I may start a new channel on KZbin if I get back to painting.. This has encouraged me greatly.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you pick up your brush again! It is so therapeutic and rewarding!

[@marionr.1514]

I love your art. I discovered your videos last weeks and I have never seen before such nice figure paintings. I'm always surprised when you create the figures, it's really wonderful👍👍👍

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you very much!

Hello Darci! Glad you found my videos. Did you move back to Saskatchewan?

[@darcilenadeanne6510]

@@pattscrivenerartist Yes we have been back home 2 years now. I will continue to look out for your videos. I find them very calming. Not sure I can't paint the people like you do but I Def like doing mixed media backgrounds. I still need to start using my new gelli pads.

[@bonbeechler2323]

I can see where using these techniques and suggestions would just BLAST me out of any slump or disinclination to paint!

[@pattscrivenerartist]

I hope you will give it a try.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you!

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

I enjoyed seeing how you develop your figures.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks JoAnne. I usually work from imagination but I find this is a good exercise!

[@margaretsummers3712]

The way you bring out a figure is great to watch. And still so colorful! Are your older workshops available to watch? Once you buy a virtual workshop, can you watch it any time, as many times as you want? Are they downloadable? I lived in Seattle for about 20 years and loved going to Vancouver Island. The northwest is soooo beautiful.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Hi Margaret. It is beautiful here. I love Seattle too. I have a replay from a workshop on Soul Sisters. It is on sale this week until September 15. Here is the link. scrivenerartanddesign.thrivecart.com/soul-sisters/?coupon=BACKTOSCHOOL. You can view whenever and as often and for as long as you want.I don’t think it is downloadable.

[@Midgy21747]

Glad it was helpful! I look forward to reading more comments and questions from you.

[@jenfleming9412]

Patt this is striking and inspirational. Do you make your own stencils or buy some ready made?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

I buy stencils but also use things I upcycle like mesh produce bags.

[@jenfleming9412]

So Patt, at the beginning your stuck four pieces of paper together to do your overall patterned background painting? Then once you have your soul sisters do you pull it apart into four again? Love it all so much. Greetings from Australia ❤

[@pattscrivenerartist]

It was actually a large sheet of paper taped off into 4 quadrants and cut into four after painting. You could tape four pieces of paper together to get the same effect.

Your videos are great, thank you for them! What does AFCA stand for? Are you in an association of some sort? Take care ❤

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you! AFCA stands for - associate member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. There are 3 categories, active member open to any artist but you are juried in. There are two levels of signature status. AFCA and SFCA (Senior) Both require a body of 10 pieces of work and other credentials to be juried in. I haven’t tried for the SFCA level yet.

[@youtube_video_seo_expert_03]

I just checked out your KZbin channel and loved its attractive aesthetics. However, I did notice a few issues that need your attention. One area that caught my eye is the SEO aspect, especially the lack of optimized tags and tag volume. It seems like these aspects haven't been fully addressed. There might be other concerns as well that you should look into

[@pattscrivenerartist]
