Getting Unstuck with Painting Guides / Art with Adele

[@blackpoppymagazine]

God damn genius idea Adele!!!

[@trinesandns4947]

You have so many brilliant ideas. Thank you for sharing so generously!

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

You can also use clear sheet protectors from an office supply or drugstore instead of the clear acrylic dividers. Hope you enjoy my invention that helps you make decisions about your art effortlessly.

[@judithsteinmann9934]

I really love your style, it's so fresh and helpful for my work. I always have new ideas after looking your videos! Thank you so much! Greetings from Berlin, Judith

[@karlabritfeld7104]

Such great ideas!

[@judykane7682]

Adele-if you would make an Amazon list, it would be great! I waste a lot of time looking for the products you choose!❤️

[@MariaWalker-qo3vi]

Plus, if you’re an affiliate for Amazon or Dick blick I’m pretty sure you get a little something if we use your link to purchase! ❤

[@earfftopia]

This video is a game-changer, thank you so much for sharing. The hardest part for me is guessing what to do next, where to put it, what shape it needs to be, etc. This really helps my "planning" process, without needing to mess up what I already love. You are such a great teacher!

[@grozdavranic6972]

Adele...You have so many great ideas...Thank you for sharing....

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Wow, this is genius. Thank you, Adele!

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@tanyahunter7320]

I’m so happy to have found your channel. Your style resonates with me and your generosity in sharing your techniques is greatly appreciated. Thank you 💕

[@expthread]

this is a great idea to 'try out' shapes and colors before committing to canvas! I've washed off many canvases. now I can use this method ! thank you!!!

[@lisawommack4095]

Great suggestion! I love the tip about using acrylic dividers, too!

[@leahevergreenart]

This is so cool, i never thought to do this in a tactile way, What I have been doing is taking photos of my stuff and using Procreate to try shapes and added things but this feels more… in the moment and just fun. Ill need to try this for sure

[@cheflaurawhalen395]

Great idea Adele! Thanks for the inspiration. You mention that you will show how to make the white writing art guide, but I'm not seeing it in this video. Is it somewhere else? Please advise. Merci!

[@jodieleestudio]

You’re so much fun. 😊 who wouldn’t want an Aunty like you to come over and paint with! I love watching these.

[@rhonnachurch6929]

Hello Adele how good to see you again!

[@primeflycompany]

I'm constantly inspired by your videos. Really well done

[@annvandielen8685]

Wow, you have some brilliant ideas. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom.

[@gutobackboard]

Thanks for the tip Adele, always good to see you here!

[@reginabaccar894]

Brilliant idea with the painting guides❣️

[@anjadommel]

Normally I would use a drawing app on my iPad to find out, how new ideas for my artwork in progress would look like. I never thought of an analogue technique to do that. I will give this a try! Thanks Adele

[@gretchenrodriguez]

Me too! I love her idea.

[@aikaterinikontou8186]

Brilliant! I would also suggest to write down the colour-mixture, in a corner or somewhere, in case you want to reproduce it again.

[@creativitybar]

exactly I always go back to some colours after time and it is really hard to remember how u mixed it!

[@annavernick1490]

vibrant ideas!

[@dianeoconnor8310]

What a fantastic idea!!

[@raerae6422]

What an innovator you are! Simply brilliant!

[@debbielamson7600]

Please share the link on amazon for the clear acrylic dividers.

[@everydaypaper]

What A brilliant idea!

[@luciabalinbinartist1864]

Excellent idea!

[@bySusuko]

This is weird... I had this idea a few weeks ago... and today I found your video! Thank you for showing!

[@peggyfreedman7697]

Thank you Adele, great idea.

[@alinanaeem6003]

Thank you so much. I love the idea ✨

[@bethlehemdesta3437]

Thank you very very much I am learning a lot ❤️

[@heikestockhardt6774]

Thank you very much for your video!!!

[@bittersweetreclaimedlands]

CC express for real life, this is great!

[@carolnacarato4448]

What a great idea!

[@hajarammar1202]

Great idea thank you ❤❤

[@fearofpaint]

Great video Adele - thanks for sharing.

[@jodirankin5901]

I love all of your ideas and am so inspired! I need "how to start" ideas and advice and here you are! So, I have searched Amazon and can't find these plastic sheets. I'm probably getting the name wrong. Are they for overhead projectors? I found that but not any with holes. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching!

[@liz-yh9ip]

I am a very happy member of Art with Adele. It is fantastic therapy for 30 a month. Thank you..you have helped me overcome some big hurdles

[@gelsominasalvia2082]

I am in love with your energy. I'm from now on a fan of yours ❤️🥰

[@sandraedwards2682]

thank you so much

[@boondoggy2]

Thank you for that video. What a great idea to make marks like that and have them on hand. 👍

[@coraannetoledo-merritt1220]

great idea.

[@blancabetancourt1173]

Excelente ideas. Un abrazo. 👌🇨🇴🌹

[@gzalis1]

Thanks for the great video...I'm having such a hard time finding the right acrylic dividers on Amazon...would you mind adding a link to the ones you use? Thank you.

[@cheflaurawhalen395]

Hi Adele, your videos are energetic and so well-organized - I really enjoy them! Thank you. You mention in this video that you will show us how to make the write writing for the guide. Is that I striction in another video or do we have to subscribe to the art academy for the information? 💕

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Hi! I'm showing you how in this video. There isn't a pdf guide for it but if you follow along you should be able to recreate it!

[@cheflaurawhalen395]

but you're no showing us 'how', you're showing us the end result. I'm disappointed.@@AdeleSypesteynStudio

Love it!

[@shirin8390]

Love your ideas,always 🌼🌼

[@joanneleclerc4168]

Haven’t read all the comments but I was thinking that you also could use this technique but by putting a clear divider on top of your painting when you know what mark you want to make but you’re not sure if you will like it or if it really goes where you want to put it! So then you don’t ruin your painting and you can draw more spontaneously! And you can either wipe it from the clear divider and do another mark or different colour!😊

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Exactly!

[@francineperron6167]

Merci Adele

[@Ccmm123]

Hi Adele. What is the paper palette you use? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@lewisoatway6770]

Brilliant Adele. But how do you use it? Past it on?

[@petadillon2982]

Thanks so much for the great idea. How do you then put the pattern on the art work.. OR is the acrylic divider just the example and then you repaint it free hand?

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I usually use it like a stencil, or I can also do free hand, depending on what feel I'm going for. You should try it both ways and see what you like!

[@barbarak6]

@@AdeleSypesteynStudio Do you mean paint directly onto the guide over the mark, "print" with it onto the painting and then wipe off the guide?

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

@@barbarak6 you can do that or just eyeball it.

[@patriciacoughlinphd1852]

Can you provide a link for these acrylic pages? When I search for acrylic dividers, I get heavy dividers for clothing!

[@LauraReichert-g4j]

I use regular "clear protector sheets" for binders to make these guides, too. Easier to find in the office supply dept. of stores.

[@lisegingras1395]

Brilliant ! Thank you ! Once you have found the right shape, how do you "apply" it to your canvas?

[@creshalu]

You paint or draw it on with the medium and color of your choice.

[@LauraReichert-g4j]

You just re-create it directly onto the canvas. The guide just gives you a choice of what to paint or draw on top of the painting you have in progress.

[@curiousm1nds]

Guess what! I invented that too but I use clear thick plastic! Haha I’ve never seen anyone else do this before except you and me 😜👍🏻

[@yogawithrenee3491]

Adele, how do you join your monthly Saturday morning videos?

[@merileetutcik425]

Is it acrylic sheets or acetate sheets?

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Acrylic

[@gracemodla8198]

Hi Adele, LOVE your spirit, energy, and work! How do you do the "writing" print? I love that too. Thank you!

[@gretchenrodriguez]

I was wondering the same. Adele? Do you have a video for that? You mention it here but didn’t show the technique. I’m so intrigued!

[@parkwaysmom]

This is genius. Can you show a link for these dividers. I have been searching and cannot find (Obviously not a genius)

[@jodirankin5901]

Also, how does the guide translate to a painting? I couldn't find the video! Thank you!

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

It's helpful to see what interesting parts you have going on in your piece, to help your eye see where you may want to build or take away.

[@Natasha-u6s]

Great! What red colour is that??

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I usually use a base of cad red and then mix as I go

[@ilenearena9166]

Sheet protectors come in double so you can insert what you are protecting . Where can I buy SINGLE sheets ???

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Search Clear Dividers on Amazon and I think you'll find what you're looking for

[@yogawithrenee3491]

Adele, I can't find the link below?

[@ilenearena9166]

What are you using to make these ?

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Clear acrylic dividers

[@AndyandJulieFrame]

🤍

[@ilenearena9166]

No such thing on Amazon 😮

[@IBeLieveInChrist07]

Rather than doing multiple ones, why not make one you can wipe off and reuse.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I like having multiples because I want to reuse them for ideas.

[@carlhagemann1636]

I’m sorry Adele but my high school art teacher from 40 years ago and thousands of artists around the world would be surprised to hear you invented art books or art guides. It’s kind of extreme hubris to say you invented something that people have been doing for years.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Hi Carl, I’m sure there are lots of other types of art guides, but I’m saying this one done like I show you here I’ve never seen before and I came up with it. I’m just talking about this particular method of a painting guide.

[@juanitasanchez1809]

I like that idea but how do you use it do you trace the design or do you peel the paint off the divider?

[@juanitasanchez1809]

Please waiting for a reply.

[@creshalu]

@@juanitasanchez1809 you just paint or draw it on the canvas and replicate the guide. The guides are just that, guides and ideas. They’re not meant to transfer.

[@gabrielaart1]

Well, I’ve never seem this technique before and I am grateful that she shared it with us.
