Breaking Through Barriers in Your Art - Part 1 / Art with Adele

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

There are three main themes that keep artists from creating their best work. Lack of time, self-doubt, and getting stuck and not knowing how to move forward. This video addresses the first theme about lack of time and I’ll show you what you can do in a short period of time. Something wonderful.

This was so much fun! Thank you Adele. Going to check out more of your videos now.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Great, hope you enjoy.

You make this seem so fun! I’m loving these tips. Now that I just turned 50 I feel like I finally have the time to focus on my art. I’m an elementary art teacher so I’m always in a creative space. But with kids going to college next year I’m so excited to rediscover my own art.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Wonderful to hear you’re starting to go back to your own art.

[@gayewrightart]

Brilliant video as usual . Love how you promote art as fun 🎉

[@melissaeller7029]

Funtastic way of approaching the painting process! 🤓👍

[@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts]

I love your channel I have learnt a lot from you. Everything you have said in this video is spot on.

[@hanneschubert3210]

I just love the way You teach

[@astridglodek3099]

Boy did you call me out as far as tech challenged and I’m, afraid of it bc I can barely figure it out. I struggle so hard it’s pathetic. Now , you talking about being 65 before doing You tube etc., I’m, 72 and have been painting seriously for 3 years or so. My 2024 word to myself is Courage. You are giving me hope that, I can and should, get into the tech parts and try flying. I know once I get some loft, I’ll never look down again. Thanks Adele !

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Love hearing your word of the year is Courage, because that’s what it takes to be an artist. I learned one tech thing a week and after several weeks it starts to add up. Good luck with everything.

Fabulous series, thank you so much for doing this!

[@lesleyabarcar3550]

Such a good starter exercise! I am so inspired by this. I was to get into that painting once it's dry and keep going!

[@dellplummer5173]

I am very excited to watch these videos. Lovely to see you again on KZbin. 💪💕😊

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Thanks so much.

[@pamciquier307]

Oh my goodness…I just came upon your channel and …WHAT A GAME CHANGER ! You are, by far, the artist who “speaks to me” the most ! I will happily DEVOUR every video and, hopefully take a class with you as well! I live in France, but my daughter lives in Vancouver, B.C. … I can even imagine taking an in-person class, if the opportunity arises. Love your work, your personality and everything you so generously share ! Thank you! 🙏🏽 ❤

[@dianeday5079]

I love to watch you. Your explanations are great, you're funny and I love your tips. ❤

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

That is so great to hear!

[@lorrainecarolart]

I’m a new subscriber. Just stumbled on your channel. I love it!

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

So happy you’re here. Enjoy.

[@irenehynes7536]

Hi Adele! I love the looseness of your style! Fun at its best!

[@AnneBarlow]

Love your video!

[@patriciafournelle3251]

Thank you very much Adele for sharing so generously your techniques. I really appreciate the way you ask yourself questions to progress in the painting. Love your art too.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

What are your biggest takeaways from this video?

[@ellenvd5543]

Beautiful colors, and you did not overwork it! I overwork it, even if i paint 5 minutes :)) Thanks much for sharing!

[@AngelaLoeb]

1) Trust yourself to mix colors on the canvas itself and 2) You can get a lot done in 15 minutes even if it’s just to start something that you can come back to finish later when you have another 15 minutes available. :) Thanks, Adele!

[@catherinecrawford6609]

Adele, my name is Catherine. I just watched your video. I have a couple of questions. 1. I’m wondering have you taken 0:14 a class from Nicholas Wilton? 2. You mentioned you work in 3s, I get that. 👍😍👍

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Hi Catherine, I have always liked to make complex ideas more simplified and so I decided to just think in threes. It helps create variety in painting and helps the work more successful because if the variety.

[@catherinecrawford6609]

Dealing with odd numbers is a fabulous way to think. I agree 100%. It works in teaching complex ideas, to make them easier to understand 👍👍👍

[@ShelleyDiamond]

Most informative, especially since I started with watercolors and but now wish t transfer to acrylics.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

It's not as difficult of a jump as you might think! Happy painting

[@barbaracooper5480]

I wish you would've explained why you left the original white mark pretty much "as is" (and added color all around it).

[@desleypolmear4157]

I'm loving this idea. What is the name or brand of pen please that you've used?

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I use Posca and China markers primarily

[@HyeyoungKim-j3x]

what's the name of the paint you are using? Many thanks!

[@RitaConnaughton]

Are you using oil or acrylic paint

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I use acrylics
