I love your favorite and the black, white & gold. Very nice!

[@davidmalvolti]

molto brava, i quadri sono veramente belli. Ottima tecnica, bel risultato. Grazie per il video

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Grazie!

[@healingmagichands]

Very interesting. Now that I am home I may have a play with this, after I finish doing all the laundry, of course! I like the bright tropical colorway the best, but the grey and red one reminds me of a dity scape. It is quite nice too.

[@anuradhabhalla5483]

Absolutely. Stunning. Love your method of abstract 💕with the window cleaning squeeza... so effortless

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 💕

[@melaniebrown747]

Love these! Amazing there is so many different things you can see in them xx.

[@FLSharkdiver]

The last one turned out amazing!!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you!

[@TheOldladyB]

Oh my goodness. I love them especially the last one. Thank you for sharing.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Darlene 💕

[@swannwillow9476]

I haven't watched the video yet - I've put it on my "Watch later" list, but judging by the photo, I cannot wait to watch it. It looks like my kind of art!!

[@Neferkit1]

I'm definitely trying this technique. Thank you for sharing it!

[@mariawhiddon]

Just gorgeous. Thank you.

[@jackieelliott2913]

Another lovely prompt, I love the orange red and black one, but the grey and pink one is stunning too. Must join in again and have a painty play.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Jackie. This is a nice quick challenge that doesn’t require too much planning. Its getting close to Christmas and I know time is running short fo a lot of us. Enjoy 💕

[@KLS1974]

Always love to watch your videos. I particularly enjoyed the famous painters prompts.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Karine and its good to hear your thoughts regarding the prompts 💕

[@QueenMabelandDoris]

Fabulous and great idea for using a squeegee too, thanks for sharing Nina xxx💕

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Susie. I hope you’ll give it a try 💕

[@lindaehemann9677]

So lovely. So you can keep painting over till. You’re happy with it. I have a black and white pour that I think I may add other colors to it. Thank you for sharing. Love the first one too. Awesome.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Yes, just keep going until you are happy with it ❤️

[@josiegitto8928]

I would love to see you continue these pages . The first one is my favorite too

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

I’ll let you know what I end up doing 💕

[@lizianne3241]

Great video Nina, I love the way your sweater cuffs at the start, actually matched the colours on the board!! Love this technique.x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

You will enjoy this Betty. Its so much fun 💕

[@BettsyDoodle]

Beautiful pieces of work, Nina. A couple of months ago I was watching several abstract videos and thought it would be just my kinda thing so it’s on my ‘to do’ list.Thanks for showing us your version. Big hugs, Dee xxx💖💖💖

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

You will love it Dee. You have such a good eye for colour too which will make it easier 💕. Huge hugs xxxxxxx

[@annefaint6127]

Another great 👍 Prompt Nina,,, loved them all , I did notice in the pinky one a beautiful lake with trees , but you put paint over it then it got lost , but then the other side was a beautiful sun ☀️ set with bright red sky’s and a lake,,,. Fantastic artwork Nina,,,xxxxxxx 👍🌼🌸🌺💞

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Yes, I noticed that too when I replayed the video back and wished I had stopped earlier. I think ai will continue some more with this one and see what I end up with. Its so much fun. Enjoy 💕❤️😘 xxxxx

[@maegill5662]

Love the gold/orange one!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 💕

[@justinakavanagh3058]

Your favourite is my favourite plus close second is the one with the 3 colours. Something about an orange-red gets me excited.

[@ednamorgan7827]

These are lovely and I really like the way each person can see something different in them - a bit like seeing shapes when we look at clouds. Absolutely fascinating so I'll be having a go for sure. Many thanks!!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Edna. The more you look the more you see 💕

[@58calangel]

Gorgeous pieces! How fabulous it must have been to see his works in person!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Alicia. Yes, his paintings are amazing 💕

I'm all about abstract art and absolutely love your squeegee technique! I will definitely be giving this a go, Eleanor x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Eleanor 💕

[@Rita-jz3ri]

Tolles Video! Habe Dich gerade hier entdeckt und bin begeistert. Bis jetzt hieß es doch immer, Rakeln kann man nur auf Grosser Leinwand. Du hast hier das Gegenteil gezeigt.👍🤝 Auch ohne Englischkenntnisse, kann man den Anleitungen gut folgen Vielen Dank und gerne mehr davon 🌻🎨

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Inch bin so froh, dass dies Ihnen einige Ideen fur die Schaffung dieser wunderbaren Gemalde in kleinem Mabstab gegeben hat. Frohliches Schaffen 💕

Hello Josie 💕. It is fun. Big hugs to you too my friend 💕❤️😘

[@kazeekins1]

Beautiful Nina ... I can see willows a slow moving river with mirror images in the first . City scapes .with the black pink ... Venice at sunset ..lol... never been there but it made ,me think... another great share . xxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Kay. I love how everyone can see different things in the pieces. This is a fascinating technique 💕

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Nina, those abstracts are fabulous and stunning.....My favourite is the red and gold one. I really love 💕 this one. I really think 🤔 you should frame them all and display them all the different ways, as each time you look 👀 at them, they show something different. Thank you so much Nina xx Mags

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Mags. I really enjoyed painting these. I will definitely frame the originals and work on the copies I’ve had made 💕💕

[@bonnerdebbie]

This looks like FUN! I love the one in gold, black and orange red. I think I will try one in similar colors. These are all wonderful Nina. I love them as they are, but I am sure you will do something to make them even more beautiful.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Debbie. I think you’ll have fun with this. Enjoy 💕💕💕

[@corinnecurtis5145]

This is a really awesome idea!! They are all lovely! Thanks for sharing!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Corinne 💕

[@juancarlosmantilla6141]

Love your work Nina. I preffer the horizontal way !Congrats. Juancalos. Malaga. Spain

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your kind words Juan 💕

[@dianeescoffier8652]

What a fun technique...your eye for color is beautiful, Ms. Nina! I find it takes quite a bit of play to come up with a color palette for myself, but it is getting easier each time I try...thank you for the abstract inspiration. Also, love the idea of using different types of material to paint on.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Diane. Its a great to try out different colour palettes. Fun, fun, fun 💕

[@darlenesmith515]

Your pieces are gorgeous! It's really nice seeing the process each week, I know some of this is out of your comfort zone but you're doing a great job! Thanks for sharing Nina.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Darlene. I have found some of the challenges hard, but it is good to push ourselves and I’m amazed by some of the results I’ve achieved. I’ve enjoyed the research enormously 💕

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

this looks wonderful Nina - i must give it a try TFS - the last one really speaks to me - love the colors and when i see it sideways i can see a beautiful sunset - water on the bottom and a silhouette of a tree on the right side - i can't wait to see what you do

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Janet. I think most of us have had a bit of fun with this 💕

[@debbieangelstar]

I saw faces in a couple of these! Love the abstract of all the pieces, you are very inspirational Nina, thanks for sharing 💕💫

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Debbie 💕

[@annellsampson3602]

So did I, Debbie.

[@allthumbs3792]

OOh!! Must try this technique! Love the ease and flexibility in creating color and pattern.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Robin, its a lot of fun 💕

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Another superb and creative piece of artwork, just love it. Those colour combos are amazing. Tfs xo

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Elizabeth. I hope you’ll enjoy this challenge 💕 xx

[@laineygardner5211]

Nina, I absolutely love them! I am so excited to have a try at this. It is amazing the different things you can see at different angles!♥

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Lainey. I love what you did with yours, the colours are gorgeous💕💕💕

[@laineygardner5211]

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Thank you!♥♥

[@ClareCreationsAL]

I have done this using a store card but I did it just cleaning off my pallet onto a painty paper. I have always wanted to use a spatula to paint like artists do but heck you did it with a squeegee!!! Awesome!!! And I LOVE your favorite too. But the orange yellow and black was awesome too!! I’m loving some of the other examples you showed. Can’t wait to try!! Thanks so much for sharing and as always I greatly appreciate all the effort you put into creating content for us and researching new ideas to try!! 😍😍😍😍 Thanks and hugs!!!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Leslie, this was so much fun to do 💕💕💕

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

I do love these abstracts! I like that you layer and layer the color with the squeegee. I perhaps would like either some kinds off circles from some so of lids or other throw away items, like medicine bottles or even the end of a paper towel roll. Thanks for the vid!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Ruth and also for sharing your ideas 💕

[@Summerlove1977]

Beautiful painting and tfs this wonderful tutorial! 🙏❤️

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Farah 💕

Beautiful colours Nina. TFS ❤️❤️❤️ xx

[@ReUsedMuse]

Thanks for sharing. This was mesmerizing to watch. I'll have to give it a go ☺️

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Its so much fun. Enjoy 💕

[@erikabrown824]

The green/ blue one is my favorite. It reminds me of a peaceful lake

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Erika. That’s my favourite too 💕

[@tonimcglasker6212]

Wow! So amazing. Love the colors, love the results! You got skills girl!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Toni 💕

[@dedrasmitherman7983]

Nina, this is amazing! I love the colors and technique. I’ve been MIA for. A few weeks but will try to go back and watch the last 2-3 videos. I don’t like missing your work. 😊 TFS!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Dedra. I think you will enjoy having a go at this 💕💕💕

[@awildamiranda3240]

Gorgeous pieces, they can be whatever you want them!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you so much 💕

[@starlaarts9385]

Beautiful! I love the blue one, it is perfect!! I also really like the orange and gold one. It is kind of the complete opposite in mood of the blue one.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Starla. I want to have a go at this in other colour ways too. I agree they do depict different moods 💕

[@lauramurphy438]

Love your abstract art pieces. The second one you show at the end of the video with the purples and pinks, and yellow greens I can see part of a lady's face. Doodles on the one piece would be interesting. Cityscape piece would be great too. TFS

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Laura. When I can finally get up my desk I will finish these off. The Christmassy bits have taken over! 💕

[@ashphoenix5447]

This is one of the 1st times I've been excited about trying an abstract technique. This looks like so much fun. Really love the 1st one you showed-the one you love as is. Beautiful. The others are nice as well. I have really enjoyed these last few months prompts. I know you mentioned earlier that someone had said it was to difficult, and if one person said it a few more were probably thinking it but I have been thoroughly enjoying them. It's always nice to mix it up.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment Ash, you’ve made my day 💕. Its been a fun couple of months and I’ve enjoyed trying some new ideas. This was a nice one to finish the prompt off with as anyone can have a go at this and its fascinating seeing what you can achieve with each stroke of the squeegee. There’s been lots of wonderful posts in the group already. Have a fabulous week 💕💕💕

[@mariaclegg7097]

Thanks Nina, a fun prompt this week. Nice outcome too

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Maria. Looking forward to your interpretation 💕

[@kimbazzani8697]

Love the idea with a squeegee your art boards look really good gave me some new ideas for myself thank you for sharing

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Kim. Glad this has given you some ideas 💕

[@ChattylaineCreates]

Oh yes I love his work.... Seen a few at the Tate myself... Long time ago now... I have an old car squeegee I can use too. I want to give this one a go xx I think the grey one of yours looks like raining in a cityscape.... And definitely Monet for your first one... As for the firey one at the end definitely a sunset over sea

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Elaine. This was so much fun 💕

[@madebymartha]

Love these pieces and what a fun technique!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Martha 💕

[@sherrireeves8110]

Once again, you have created some beautiful art!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Sherri, its fascinating seeing them develop with each scrape 💕

[@kathleenstrode455]

Love these!!! will have to pick up a few utensils...keep creating

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Kathleen. I will 💕

[@deborahrusignuolo7612]

Pretty cool thank you for sharing.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Deborah 💕

[@marymoore8858]

Very wonderful work! Mostly see city & landscapes with waterways I'm England & black cast-iron railings.

[@verafilindeng1995]

These are fabulous, Nina! Love the technique, love the outcome. My favorite is the black/red & gold, personally I would leave many of them as is. But it´s your artwork :) I really enjoyed watching you create these. Tfs, hugs Fia

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Fia. I will definitely leave the first one I showed and the black red and gold one as is. I think I will add more paint to the other two and see what develops. Hugs 💕 xxxx

[@djacklindj]

Lovely! In the red,yellow,purple painting, I see an English garden with a statue in a fountain. The pink/grey painting, I see an old European building when it's in the portrait position.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Oh I like that 💕💕💕

[@karenlynn1956]

Love these for backgrounds & I do see water reflections.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Karenlynne. Its fascinating how they take on a life of their own 💕

[@toriswanson5451]

Hi, Nina! I have really enjoyed this month's prompts. Always good to attempt new techniques. I love your first one and the gold/orange one the most. I'd frame them just like they are. Perhaps doodle on the others? Thanks for sharing. Hugs to you and Louie.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Tori. I’m going to get them copied so I can keep the originals and play on the copies. Hugs to you too ❤️

[@W._Langman]

I love those❤ The grey one I would doodle on, as you said and the colourful one would look brilliant as background with a black and white image pn top. The more old fashioned the better. The contrast between modern and old would look great. The gold one, I can definitely see a city scape, but the water scape looks intriguing. I will have a go with a credit card😊

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Weenie. This was so much fun and every time I look at them, I see something different. Love yours too 💕

[@annhaber4556]

I love the outcome of this technique. Your favorite piece (and mine) in the opening of the video looks to me like a silhouette of a person standing on a balcony or bridge with reflections in the water below. This piece has so much depth, absolutely lovely - I'd frame it! Thanks for sharing. Ann

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Ann. Of course I raced off to take a look at the piece again, and I can see her too. This technique is fascinating as even applying just one more layer transforms the painting. I could play at this for hours 💕

[@louisecarr3349]

I think they're both lovely, I'd have them as is. The first looks like a lilac/purple lady emergingg from the background. You're very talented x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Louise. This is such a fun way to explore colour. I hope you’ll give it a try 💕

[@suthengrl]

I think the first one is my favorite It looks like reflections in water. I like the colors in the last one.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 💕

[@robinalcorn5140]

I bought a Richter print at SF MOMA because I fell in love with the colors and texture. I couldn't even guess how he got the distinctive look, except it sure didn't look like brushwork or spraying or splattering or anything I could think of. I'm beyond excited to see your technique for emulating his work. I will definitely be trying this. You are great at opening our eyes to see new possibilities. The Art Movements series is wonderful.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment Robin. His work is amazing isn’t it 💕

[@bethmiller4266]

This is so damn smart!! Awesome work

[@karenatkinson4053]

I have never seen this technique. It looks quite fun and I will have to try it. Thank you.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Karen. Enjoy 💕

[@debbiedunham5204]

Awesome! My favorite is the first one and I think you should frame it! Hugs xxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Debbie. I will 💕

[@carolnilberg249]

This is absolutey gorgeous! Love your color palette.Use glazes in between and that would add depth when to stop.I never know when.You do a fantastic job of explaining your process.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment and kind feedback 💕

[@cecileegeorgeson_artist]

I have just been introduced to your tutorials….wow something really resonates with these…can’t wait to give it a go….love these

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Cecilee, it’s a really fascinating process. Enjoy 💕

[@MaggieHL]

they are lovely, Nina!

[@valeriejohnson2367]

Excellent idea....must try this......great for backgrounds

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Yes, they would make great backgrounds 💕

[@carolynnixon7095]

That technique looks like a lot of fun. I agree with you on your favorite; it's lovely as is. The red, rose, and gray piece looks to me like a dark, crowded, rainy city street with reflected headlights. The hint of a street light might give it a focal point and tell the story. For the other two, I'm clueless. tfs

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Ah interesting idea 💕. Thank you 💕

[@elvisisabigsweetie]

Nina, these are gorgeous! The first and fourth pic are perfect landscapes and I'd have to leave them as is, so beautiful! The two in the middle, just as beautiful but do you see the faces, lol, they look like they're attached to an animal shape, so awesome! The one has a bonnet or hat on her head, it's way too cute! (Unless I'm losing my mind and seeing things, haha!). Excited to see what you do with those! Love your photo's of his at the end also, what a treat to get to see! Have a great day, hugs, Debra

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Debra. This was so much fun to try and I love them all. Richter’s paintings are amazing, and the depth and texture of them is mind blowing 💕💕💕

[@littlebooks4760]

Just fabulous I love the way you use paint little masterpieces everyone hugs Ruby 🌹

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Ruby. I love abstract paintings like this as you never quite know what you’ll end up with. Hugs 💕 x

[@littlebooks4760]

Nina Ribena I totally agree I have done it for years and that’s what drew me to your beautiful channel very eye catching and exquisite happy work xx

[@gavinyates9189]

Love the chatter marks in the squeegee slobbering of paint in the music squashy effect of color

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Gavin 😊

[@alkanista]

Very cool; looks like lots of fun. About Richter's "squeegee" technique - he doesn't use real squeegees, of course, but has these giant squeegee-like applicators. Also, I think his orientation for those painting is set right from the beginning of the process. There are KZbin videos that show him at work on some - worth checking out, if you are interested.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much. I have watched a few of his process videos and it’s fascinating. I’ve also seen his painting in the V&A and they are spectacular 💕

[@alkanista]

@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Oh, yes, those paintings!! I saw some of the vast squeegee ones, as well as some representational and other ones, at San Francisco MOMA. It was an extraordinary show, to put it mildly. It's funny, but since I watched your video, my mind has been just brimming with ideas for how to use the technique, and lots of variations on it, too. And I don't even think of myself as a visual artist! I may have to go get some supplies and try to make them real.

[@HeidiLilley]

The first one is absolutely stunning, but I also like the last one with the orange and gold, that is very fall looking with a lake scene. I would leave that as is. This is a very cool technique. I'm going to go and look this artist up now. I do not have a squeegee, but might have to buy one to try it out. tfs.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Its so much fun Heidi. You could always try it with either a piece of cardboard or a store card first. I think you’ll get good results this way too. Enjoy 💕

[@AuntBecsCreations]

This looks like a lot of fun!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Becky it is. I hope you’ll try it 💕

[@libbyps2283]

Love these. What do you do with them when finished? Do you have any that are framed? Would love to see.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Libby, I scan them initially so I can use them as backgrounds and then frame them 💕

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Stunning!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 💕

[@loripadilla669]

Love your art Nina. This looks like fun. I see many different things in your pieces. Maybe you can get them copied and try a few different techniques with each one. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Lori. Yes, good idea. I will be taking them to the printers today 💕

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

These look fun! Beautiful results Nina! Hugs Marsha

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Marsha. Its such a fun technique to try. Hugs to you too 💕

[@purplenanna1272]

Love the orangy one at the end,which is strange as def not a colour I usually go for 😂.Liked it laid horizontal the best 😊.Mmmmm....have I missed calendar for Nov or just forgotten which week it was 😕.Short term memory big time at the mo! X

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

I could play with this technique for hours. So much fun 😁. I did my calendar page in week two, which was the abstract poppy piece. I know what you mean. The weeks all blend into one don’t they 💕 x

[@purplenanna1272]

Remember the poppies,but not that it was calendar week 😂...I'm hopeless lol!

[@joymenis1048]

HI, I'm still around catching up. Saw Gerhard's paintings too. Oh for time to play with my paints. TFS, hugs Joy

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Hi Joy. Hope you find some time to try this. Its a lot of fun seeing the paintings develop 💕

[@lyannepoirier8447]

Love all the pieces, but especially the yellow and orange one. I would like to see it with some stencilling and stamping.🤗🇨🇦

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Lyanne 💕

[@sandragregg9079]

Have you ever tried to incorporate using a pallet knife to create texture? I am going to give it a whirl using molding paste

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

I have used a palette knife and love the effect of that too. I’d like to revisit this style of abstract art again as I love the unpredictability 💕

[@WasteSomeTimeWithMaggie]

OH these are so Gorgeous tfs Nina

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

You will love this technique Maggie. Enjoy 💕

[@alisonroots8752]

Love the gold/orange one for the others I would use as backgrounds.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Alison 💕

[@helenspedding-lowe5469]

What a fabulous technique, and lovely results. I loved your "Monetish" one and the red and gold ones best. Perhaps you should continue adding more light layers to the other boards, maybe in a really unusual colour combination and see what happens. If they turn out yakky, there's always gesso!😁 Hugs xxxxxxxxxxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Helen. I’m going to take them to the printers to get them copied today so I can play around more with them. Agree with you, and want to add a few more layers to two of them 💕💕💕

[@diamondlee9034]

Great video, love this technique!

Thank you 🎨

[@angelafollett1807]

Love it. Would love to see you use one of them as a background.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Angela. I will 💕

[@blossompetal784]

These are amazing!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 💕

[@KorysArtCafe]

Very cool Nina. I always either use a gift card or palette knife. I must try the squeegee. (Hope that's spelled right, lol)

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

You get a different result with the squeegee (yes, you spelled it right). Hope you’ll give it a try 💕

[@swannwillow9476]

Hi Nina. Oh gosh, the first one (blue/green) and the one in black, red and gold are both AMAZING! I think you should keep them just as they are and frame them... but a very simple frame that would not distract from the painting. The blue/green in a landscape orientation and the red/gold in a portrait orientation. The grey/pink one should look good as an abstract landscape (like you said) or, if you decide to doodle on it, I would do it with a brighter colour. Let's face it... I don't know much about art and colour compositions... but I know when I like something and I LIKE these... I'm off to the shop tomorrow to buy a squeegee!! 😊💕

Hi Nina, love your work! Always interesting and fun. One question, can this be done on canvas too?

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Yes, absolutely it can 💕
