Its magical watching you paint! Your earthy but colourful colour choices always blow me away and how quickly your design decisions form a rich composition. Always inspiring.

[@jclosestudio]

Thanks so much, what a wonderful comment! I think autumn has definitely made its way into my colour palette at the moment.

[@StarBarks4U]

[@piterkers]

In this video there are so many examples of inspiring compositions, it was difficult to choose which one I liked the most. thanks! greetings from Brazil

[@jclosestudio]

Thanks! They did make me want to try some on a larger scale.

[@FloatingOurBoat]

I too prefer the orange ones. Great way to seek inspiration for a bigger work. Thank you Janine.

[@jclosestudio]

You are most welcome! I am very tempted to use them as a starting point for bigger work

[@OrlaStevens]

Love these! That teal in the second book is gorgeous too 💫

[@jclosestudio]

Thank you! That colour seems to sneak into my work every now and then 😄

[@QuantumGuideConnection]

[@lisengel2498]

[@jclosestudio]

Taking off the tape is the most exciting part 😄

[@cindyfromsydney7693]

Funny because I love the cool combos 😂❤

[@jclosestudio]

I used to be way more into cool colours a couple of years ago. So interesting how that keeps on changing!

[@roamingqueen]

Wonderful exercise to warm up and getting new inspiration. Since I've got a couple of the same sketchbooks at home, I'll definitely give it a try! 🤩🤩🤩

[@staceyvanier15]

Thank you Jeanine!

[@jclosestudio]

You are welcome 😊

[@Blattgeflitter]

Dear Jeannine, thank you very much for your great work and participation in the painting process. Above all, the great ideas. I've watched all of your videos, maybe it's already been asked in the comments: Your mixing palette consists of a plastic lid and...?? what exactly is used on it? What kind of Paper with water? Thank you for your feedback. Have a nice pre-Christmas season with greetings from Germany 😊

[@jclosestudio]

Thank you so much! Wow, must have taken you quite a while to watch all videos. That makes me so happy to hear! For my palette I use a tray (can be any kind) with damp kitchen roll. On top of that I add tracing paper or baking paper. The moisture slowly evaporates through the paper and keeps the paint wet for a long time. If you put a lid on (second tray) you can keep it overnight or even days. Eventually it’ll start to smell though 😄 Ganz liebe Grüße zurück nach Deutschland! Und schöne Weihnachten.

[@swl9270]

Was this supposed to be the one video I didn’t like?😂. You failed again! I love them all! Gorgeous! I might add my very fav? From the orange grouping …Bottom row right side second from the end. The yummy brownish color with the cooler creamy white …sigh just gorgeous

[@jclosestudio]

Lol, not yet 😂

[@bethmiller4266]

Are you squaring off the page with painter’s tape?

[@jclosestudio]

I use a low-tack masking tape. This is the one: www.jacksonsart.com/handover-low-tack-paper-masking-tape-1-in?___store=jacksonsart_en&acc=2d00f43f07911355d4151f13925ff292
