ARTY STUFF VLOG - Art Book Release, Art Haul and still life painting in acrylic

[@conchaarts7199]

😊 Adoro tudo ... E o livro fantástico! O livro não esta neste vídeo...mas quando vejo é logo uns 6 de cada vez porque adoro o seu trabalho as cores a energia e o foco e amor pela natureza e pintas que é uma beleza desprovida de vaidades !❤️🤩 Deus te abençoe sempre pelo que es quem es e pelo que transmites... Não dou muito de comentários mas tenho que faze lo. Também pinto e tu es uma das minhas mestras !😘 😊

I love using the Matisse Antique White for exactly the reason you mentioned. Gives a beautiful soft tint rather than bright and edgy with the Titanium White. Awesome haul of vases and books. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy! 😃👩‍🎨

[@blueRosesforme]

Both of your still life paintings were great. I loved both but I guess you can have a favorite one. Your book looks so pretty! 💓

[@mg8642]

Oh wow, so lucky to find those books!!

[@kberry9333]

Clair! That book is lovely!!!!!!!

[@sharongillesp]

Really appreciated the comparisons. What brushes do you use? I think I saw a flat, large round and mop/wash. Your book is pretty… it put a smile on my face:)

[@annstarnes5691]

I have just recently discovered your channel and I love your work! I can't wait to watch all your videos--they are so inspiring !

[@cjlloyd53]

"It was an expensive morning". I live a 10 minute drive from The Art Shop. Every visit is an expensive visit. I can't get out of the place. 😂🤣

[@judynieves1043]

Thanks for sharing. Don't know which I liked more. Both are amazing.

[@KS-wr4vv]

You are so cute! I love your excitement. I can just imagine you strolling the aisles at the art shop like a kid in a candy shop. You are inspiring me to get back into creating art. I’m in the process of decluttering my home and I’ve donated a ton but I have a collection of vases and sit abouts that I didn’t want to donate. I think I’ll start a collection for still life’s I always felt like my best artwork were always from still life’s if that makes sense. Anyway loving this video and your art is sooo flipping gorgeous the colors!

[@KS-wr4vv]

One more thing can you tell me a few other artists on KZbin that you enjoy watching ?

[@julijopeterson7096]

Your book! OMGosh it looks so pretty!

[@keariewashburn4680]

I sure needed this today 😊 beautiful and thank you!

[@deborahleech5965]

Thankyou for sharing your painting process and your thoughts. It’s always a problem loosening up .....no one ever says how can I make my work tighter! I love your style and generosity😊👍😊

[@sharonjohnson4869]

So glad I found you channel! My daughter and I love your style. Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@junemaguire9988]

Absolutely love them both like the duck better in the second one. You are an awesome artist.

[@beckybaker3549]

Hope you do the duck in a water scene…..love it!

[@karen-mariemondrup4969]

Thankyou for sharing your painting process🥰

[@mbschatz]

Love the painting! Maybe some impasto stuff would make you love it more? The duck is just so precious though

[@julijopeterson7096]

Your painting turned out terrific & I absolutely love the pot with the spots.

[@Denise11Schultz]

I am so excited by your work, shared it with a friend who has gone back to art college in retirement. Would like to see if possible to buy your book in California, near Mt. Shasta, wish you could see our wildflowers some day ☺️🌿🕊

[@laurabiscaro6900]

Love your second one.

[@tonyaricucci7659]

Yes, much prefer the second, looser still life. Have you watched Sandi Hester here on KZbin? She's a lot of fun and it's amazing to watch her progress over the last couple of years getting looser and looser. She has lots of great tips about working that way.

[@tonyaricucci7659]

P.S. I'm obviously watching your videos out of order because I'm now watching the one where you mention Sandi...

[@annpurdy3815]

Love, love, love your work! I had to smile as Charles Reid the watercolorist, often used a little duck in his still lifes too. I can't wait to order your book!

[@roxyjohnson5112]

love that A- blue

[@bonniemasterjohn5440]

OMG yes! It really is more difficult to be loose close up! Thank you for that observation. 💥🤔🥳

[@allthumbs3792]

Great shopping haul! Those little vases are really nice shapes and colors, such reasonable prices too. Looks like you had lots of fun!

[@chels2145]

Man! I wish I knew about your book release. I'm not on IG but maybe I should get on more. Your book looks gorgeous and I'll definitely be looking out for the next release. Your still life painting is GORGEOUS but I know exactly what you mean about "loosening" up and not rendering the painting too much. I'm a huge fan of abstract and how you paint the world around you is just beyond stunning. People may look at abstract and think its something easy and a child can do but it is MUCH more difficult! My issue had always been rendering too much so I try to blur my vision and hold the brush barrel further. Thank you for your inspiring videos!

[@giulianalarch4184]

You do such an amazing job 😍

[@suzanneb1428]

Oh yay super excited to get my pre-order book with all the amazing freebies! Thank you for the sneak peak, it looks amazing! Can't wait 😘 Loved the paintings and process discussion. I liked both paintings, and I love that tablecloth pattern 🥰

[@junemaguire9988]

Love our op shops.cool find Clair.

[@ArtHealsTheSoul]

I totally agree with you the second one shows more interest and movement great lesson to be learned, thanks for sharing!1

[@wendycornah9002]

Really loved seeing what you bought, and loved watching you paint. Your book looks absolutely awesome, congratulations. Lots of love from South Africa

[@stephanie.kilgast]

thank you for this, it was enjoyable to listen to you while working in my own studio. I also thrift shop/op shop items for my work! :) mostly as bases for my sculptures but more recently for reference. I love doing that as you always find something unexpected.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

also I really like your second painting and I think it's because you let go of the patterns. The composition is indeed stronger and the shadow game much better too.

[@helenkosmicki3283]

Book looks amazing!

[@cakkoco]

Love your work my dear friend😍

[@cindypatterson8157]

Great books

[@bychanchala]

Loved your talking us through your thoughts on the compositions of the still lifes. The book looks gorgeous. Where did you get it printed if you don’t mind me asking?

[@jacquio1686]

Im so jealous of your spotty find. Thats delightful! Also why can I never find country road thrift!!!

[@julijopeterson7096]

About trying to loosen up w/the painting. Would it help if you thought of painting it as if everything was in a fog? I don't know if that's even possible to do or if it would work but just thought I'd pass it on. From, what do I know...

[@sofieonecrow]

Clair: Is your book available to the U.S. markets yet?

[@Rockynme]

I would love to order one of your books but can not find it a link to order on your FB or your website.

[@dotrowland9789]

[@lynnehall246]

[@thetruequeenofthenorth975]
