THANK YOU! Lovely story!

[@kathycorner8727]

Beautiful artwork 😍

[@risainternet]

Oh, I've wanted to see a demo for years!! I'm lucky to own two orignal pieces from Reina, one was the second in the lotus series she did and it moved me to my core in a way a painting has never done! The second was a surprise commission my husband ordered, which included koru for each of my family members and sacred geometry. Her work brightens my home and our lives daily, and I am so grateful to have found her what, five years ago? Love you, Reina! 😘

[@ColourinyourlifeAu]

yes it has definitely been a slow climb Denise and I think we have one of the best channels, just not the numbers we should have. We go to air in Britain next week so that should help with awareness, Graeme

[@r.j3773]

Great and amazing work Reina I really enjoyed watching you , can i ask about the chulkyou used in the beginning for the background ,because later you used the acrylic highlight marker for the details.

[@ReinaCottierArt]

hi there, many thanks :) sure, its just ordinary school chalk, nothing special. I bought it online.

[@vidya1231000]

Please let me know the name of the brushes, thank u

[@LadyEdHD805]

What are the brushes? Name/link please.

[@giovannaferrua1191]

i'm Giovanna from Italy,I have seen the your job,very interesting.also I work mixed media.I like your imagination ,brings me to a new world.ciao Gio

[@ReinaCottierArt]

:) thats great Giovanna!

[@MonikaBehr]

Gorgeous work! So spiritual and zen. What was the name of those flat paint brushes from China? Always curious about what artists use to get such a soft blend.

[@MonikaBehr]

Found it. Bogelinuo

[@ReinaCottierArt]

hi there , yes, thats the one,... the come in singles or packs.. i got the six pack, actually just ordered a second pack today, as I love them so much! (not too bad pricing either!)

[@MonikaBehr]

Thank you. I may give them a go sometime. Not bad to order to North America either.

[@christadewet44]

What are the brushes called that you've mentioned?

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

great work. just wondering if non indigenous kiwis have the same issues as non indigenous australians doing similar designs and techniques as the indigenous peoples of their country?

[@ReinaCottierArt]

Hi there, thank you. I hear what you are saying, :) and there does seem be a fine line of 'copying traditional native art' (I respect that for many reasons), and being influenced by it. I am the latter, mine is more a fusion of many cultures and what comes out of my head. I have Maori (and other cultures) in my family, so I grew up with strong native influences, however I have purposely never closely studied Maori art, as I don't want to subconsciously recreate it, I want to do my own thing :)

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

thank you for your reply reina :-)

[@funarty01]

What were the brushes?

[@ReinaCottierArt]

hi there, .... they are inexpensive brushes from Aliexpress: 'Bogelinuo Nylon Flat head painting brush'.i bought the 6 pack, different sizes, and was very surprised to see 8 months on, they are as good as new.

[@sheliacruz3502]

Reina, your work is brilliant and beautiful. I so enjoyed watching the show. Can you please repeat the name of the flat brushes you use. I saw a request for the name but couldn't find your response. Thank you so much.

[@ReinaCottierArt]

Hi Shelia, thank you so much! they are inexpensive brushes from Aliexpress: 'Bogelinuo Nylon Flat head painting brush'. I was pleasantly surprised, took a risk buying thinking they would last 5 mins, but they are 8 months on and going strong! I just bought my second 6 piece pack. - Reina.

[@juliewilliamsnewzealand818]

Hi Reina beautiful work ....what was the class that you did to get you started? Was it in Tairua or nearby?

[@ReinaCottierArt]

Hi Julie, it was a class in AUckland with Maria Fowler, but she no longer teaches.

[@ReinaCottierArt]

[@kymberlydawn1445]

You should list the brands that she mentions she uses in the description. I am disappointed.
