Making a Haunted Painting - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

[@TinParrotBrigade]

I love that Christine talks to us like we’re absolutely going to attempt this project ourselves. Some might. The rest of us are just basking in the unbridled creativity on display.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Christine is such a beautifully creative and very talented lady.

[@cheekyjonez3916]

If I ever win the BIG lottery jackpot, I'm buying a spooky Victorian mansion and going full tilt Christine on it! 😂

[@amonymouss]

She assumes we're not stupid, and that if we want to try doing this we'll do the research.

[@Stephanieee138]

lol I always think of this as I watch her incredible projects come to life!

[@cynthialenz]

What do you mean? I’m half done already and it’s only been 7 hours. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezey. 😉😄

[@Olivia-zh4dp]

at this point you could put out a video titled "engineering and constructing an interstate highway" and id be like omg christines gonna nail this one. modern day renaissance woman

[@Richie8a8y]

😂She is unreal! ♥️🖤🧡

[@wildcarrots7503]

And it would probably be constructed on time, under budget and the most beautiful interstate highway you have ever seen!

[@texaspoontappa2088]

Christine will fix public transit and she'll do it in style

Netflix really messed up and canceled her show. She is an absolute genius.

[@Richie8a8y]

What a beautiful show she had. But now with this mansion she has her own studio to produce her magic 🪄🧹🦉🐈‍⬛🦇

[@lynbodeen]

I didn't know she had a show on Netflix. Bet it was great.

[@helenhines2712]

I totally agree. Stupid move by Netflix. They could've gone so far with her and her amazing creative talent.

I literally just came here from Racheal XD

[@Digitalhunny]

Have you & I been following these ladies together for all this time yet, we've never ever met?? We sure do have the same taste in craft-women, right? Quick let's meet in my kitchen to bake slider cookies while wearing our pointy ears & Halloween makeup! 😂😂😂😂

[@lorrainethomas241]

Right?

[@shelleynobleart]

Same!

[@chrissybooksandberries]

It's not spooky season without Christine for me.

[@delanocarson7544]

Can I just say, its so nice to hear an artist say theyre happy with their work, that it excites them. It's so unusualy to hear that positive self talk in the creative world.

[@marshawargo7238]

So Very Critical😢!

[@thomase13]

Sooo true!

[@brightpurpleviking]

I’m a 30+ year career portraitist, and have a fun tip. If you want to paint a portrait that seemingly tracks you with its eyes, just paint a minimum of seven layers on the eyes alone, above and beyond the layers of the rest of the painting. The extra thickness makes them “look” at you from all sides of the room…not to this dramatic effect, but it’s pretty effective.

[@junewinship9298]

I'm a painter and now i desperately wanna try this trick! I mostly work in acrylic and watercolor though. would you say it has to be oil to get the correct amount of transparency and luminosity? or do you think acrylic mixed with a glazing medium to add a bit of transparency might be enough to get the same effect?

[@brightpurpleviking]

@@junewinship9298 acrylics with glazing medium might work! I’ve only done it with oils. If you try it I would love to hear how it works for you. Cheers to a fellow artist! 🥂

[@junewinship9298]

@@brightpurpleviking cheers! I’ll absolutely let you know if I try it out!

[@PamelaTitterington]

Appreciated ❤

[@stephaniegreene7438]

If the eyes are facing directly forward they seem to follow, a bit of shine would add to realism though.....

[@rayb18]

Im not one to ever comment on videos, but this project deserves a standing ovation!! There is no end to your talents and creativity.

[@jmessenger919]

Will I ever attempt any of Christine's art projects? No. Will I continue to watch every single episode as soon as it airs? Yes. 😆

[@calzonexiv]

AHHHHH a fellow Baumgartner fan!!!! He really is top notch I always enjoy watching his art renovation vids. This turned out amazing I bet he'd be proud of how well you did! :D

[@laurie4275]

He is seriously the best in what he does!!

[@jenniferc7831]

You used tacks, not staples, Baumgartner approved!

[@HarrisonsFord]

Christine doesn't merely hot glue the rope in the back that nobody will ever see, nor does she tie a fancy knot. She fucking braids it in the most beautiful way possible.

[@QveenHerby]

You are one of the most talented artisans I’ve ever seen

[@emilyclara1967]

Christine mcconnell is as close to real magic as u can get

[@yvonneburns2786]

Yes, me too, I start to tear up when I see that painting.

[@Ms.JuliaGouhlia]

I can't afford your patreon right now so two videos in the same month (especially Halloween season) from you, is an absolute treat. Thank you ❤

[@mycatsmells13]

is there anything you can't do? Absolutely stunning!

[@ursulacook9883]

Yeah, don´t you just hate her?😅 She received the creativity & talent that was meant for me & about 100 others! 😉

[@EAHanks]

The idea that this was your BACK UP Halloween episode...

[@kathrynmasseyevers3060]

Right!!

[@JacquelineLara]

I think it's fair to say that Christine is a Mad Scientist in the Macabre and everything spooky! This project it truly a testament to your talents!

[@lauries6517]

Your "mind" is the most creative and talented I have ever been exposed to. Thank you for sharing!

[@diasnovitawuri1939]

3rd Christine upload in less than a month I think right? What did we do to deserve this 😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LS-um3zq]

Holy cow, this woman has genius level talent.

[@a.a.2936]

Step One: Be an incredibly talented artist.

[@Tora_74]

I love when Christine says how she is not good at doing something and has to learn and so, and then she makes an almost masterpiece! I wish I could do just the quarter of what she can and would be so happy about it :DDD BEAUTYFUL drawing!!

[@Glosoli4]

I will forever be absolutely astounded by your creativity and the fact you can make your visions come to life. Almost the whole population of the world could only DREAM of such talent. You are literally so perfect. 😭😭🥰

With your attention to detail, it shouldn't surprise me that you watch @BaumgartnerRestoration ! He has hammered thousands upon thousands of those tacks. It would be insane to expect you to be as good as he is on that task. This is one of the most amazing projects I've ever seen, and it's definitely my favorite of yours! Thank you so much for all you do to amaze and entertain us. Happy Halloween! Heading to Patreon to see the cabinet install now. 🎃🕸🕷 👻

[@freeplayfrank7736]

Well done Christine, I love this project so much.I admire how you research and use every medium possible to get the results you are looking for.The old saying " jack of all trades master of none" does not apply to you, you master everything you take on. You are an artist of the highest calibre. I salute you.

[@tonil5960]

I absolutely love this! ❤ I've seen this in haunted movies, but I've never seen how to actually create your own painting with moving eyes. Thank you so much for sharing your create work, it turned out beautiful!

[@rainystreetlights]

Your remark about how you enjoy drawing and painting but don't allow yourself time to do it really resonated with me. It was also reassuring, in a way 🖤 thank you for sharing your beautiful work

[@zulccm]

I did not have the pleasure of finding your work previously, but wow! I'm not just a fan of the creations, I'm a fan of the creator! What a brilliant, interesting woman! Thank you for sharing!

[@BrynnCarrollARTIST]

As an artist myself of many years, everything you create and plan is creative genius. The frame alone was so stunning--I may give that a go because I owned a gallery and framing was a lot of what I did yet, I never tried making frames (way to busy and no time). This frame and project though, is on a whole other level of creativity. Where the painting was placed is perfection! I think 100 years from now, and there are new owners of your home, it certainly would be fun to hear the comments, but I suspect you will be there in spirit to hear them yourself! 😉❤

[@Thykizzy]

Im loving all the Christine content lately !!

[@reneevilla86]

[@rexgrl3]

Love the shout out to Julian Baumgartner! He's like crack to us artists.

Oh my gosh, I had to watch that reveal 3 times in a row. The shiny, white eyes in the portrait - fitting so well - are uncanny! And wonderfully spooky. Happy spying! Off to see the Patreon episode about the new secret room in the house. Happy Halloween!

I love this so much! Your skill and attention to detail never fails to amaze me. I think adding a texture to the canvas so it looks actually “painted” would also be really cool! Would make it look older vs new printed on canvas

She just casually creates a masterpiece that fits the Halloween vibes perfectly. Also, anyone else notice the girl looks a bit like Christine? Idk if that was intentional but it just makes it better.

I would love to be blessed with your "imperfections"! But what made me gasp is that you pulled this up so perfectly! There are so many things which even missed the tiniest bit would've taken it down halfway. I imagine just getting the colours to work with the light in the room and get what appeared on your screen with the "opinions" of the printer, to be a nightmare, no matter how well the calibration of your monitor! Besides the beautiful result which as always makes the dark shine in glory, it is a pleasure to see your incredible craftswomanship!
