I watched the Total Eclipse in Indianapolis! I’ve never seen anything so spectacular in all my 70 years of life. I love your rendition of it through watercolor. 🌗🙌❤️🖌️🎨

Le sel fin donne un super rendu. L'éclipse, même partielle devait être magnifique pour aboutir à un si beau résultat en peinture. Très bonne semaine à toi aussi Gabrielle.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

🤗💕 Merci beaucoup Monika! J'adore être inspirée par la nature! ☺️

[@cathyrae8323]

Live in Kerrville Texas! We were one of the towns directly in the path of a total eclipse. My favorite was the darkness, the quiet and how the temperature dropped. An inkling of what it would be like if we lived in darkness. I do wished it lasted longer, but very glad to have able to experience it. 🫥

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Cathy ❤️ Wow!!! That must have been quite an experience for sure! I'm so happy you got to witness the total eclipse! Thank you for making the time to share this with us 🤗

[@purenatures4755]

[@terribarto7958]

I like the added contrast of the black.🙂

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

After adding the black it really felt like it all came together for me too ☺️

[@risaglass1808]

It was magical! A group of us went up to Burlington, right on the banks of Lake Champlain and it really took my breath away (like this painting of yours!)! Glasses off for 4 minutes was just amazing to see planets and a faux sunset on the Lake, then it passed away, and folks were so energized and happy 😊

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Aww ❤️ I am loving reading about your experience of the eclipse! It looks like it was magical indeed! ✨ It sounds like the kind of thing no camera could ever really capture the way one experiences it. I'm so happy for you and I really appreciate you sharing this with us 🤗 Thank you!

[@susan8708]

Another beautiful painting and another great idea for me! Your tutorials really help me you know and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you. 🤗🇬🇧

❤😊❤ hey Gabrielle...good morning dear , this is sooo breathtaking ! We in Switzerland hadn't the opertunety to see the eclipse , but you definitely showed it to me .... thank you for this ❤🎉❤🎉 Wish you a good week ❤🫂❤

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

🤗💕 Hello Martine!! I hope your day is going well sweet friend! Mine is off to a great start! ☺️ I believe the next eclipse will be visible from some parts of Europe in 2025 and 2026 😁 I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to see this one and at the same time, I'm happy you were able to experience it through my painting ❤️ I wish you a wonderful week 🤗❤️

[@lindakuck5981]

Oooh, this is absolutely gorgeous. I got to see the total eclipse it was phenomenal... the peace and quiet and unity that happened all at once was indescribable. Sorry you missed the total eclipse but you really captured it here in this painting! Thanks Gabrielle 😘❤

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you so much for your kind words Linda 🤗💕 And I'm so happy to see you got to experience the eclipse!! Peace, quiet and unity all at once - it sounds absolutely idyllic ✨💕 Thank you for making the time to share! It brings me joy to experience it vicariously like this 🥰

[@Lilbirdy-ur6uf]

This is fantastic! I was in the path of totality and got to see it. Your painting really captured the feeling!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

So happy for you!! ❤️ I'm glad I was able to render its essence ☺️ Thank you for your kindness 🤗

[@Rockwooddream]

I live in northern Maine. We were in the path of and experienced the total eclipse. It was awesome. We think the best part was the total darkness and how quiet things were for just those few minutes. I love your painting. 😊

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

So cool! ☺️ I can only imagine how amazing it must have been and I'm so happy you got to have this experience! Was the traffic before and after the eclipse any different than usual? I picture it all in my minds eye and it seems like it would have been breathtaking. Thank you so much for making the time to share your experience ❤️ Your kindness is a gift to behold 💝

[@terririggle6106]

Oooh, the black ink is sooo cool! Love it his piece! Your curly-cue rays are so whimsical. Just lovely! ❤

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you so much Terri ❤️🤗 I really feel like it all came together with the black!

[@Blue-rd5lq]

How I marvelled at your steady hand painting all those delicate lines! I have a ruling pen but have not mastered it ..I have to be content with random fat lines and splodges! This is so beautiful Gabrielle and captures the majesty of the moment, with or without the extra black ink. I was lucky enough to see the 1999 eclipse in Europe, they are truly incredible experiences. Love and light for your week ahead 🌞🌑 Bx 💙💫

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Oh wow Bernice!! Seeing an eclipse in Europe must have been so amazing!! ❤️☺️ I'm so happy you got to see a total eclipse 🤗 Thank you for your kind words about my steady hand (it must have been a good day for me 😉 as my hands are not nearly as steady as they used to be!). I wonder if it would help for you to adjust the little screw on the side of your ruling pen? I feel like I was getting similar results until I played with adjusting the screw and then I found the sweet spot ☺️ Love and light to you my sweet friend ✨💕🤗 Thank you again for being here with me 💕❤️💕

[@slateg1]

I was in the path of totality in 2017. It was an amazing experience, so I travelled 5 hours to see it again. It was worth it! I took some art supplies for the “waiting.” You’ve inspired me to put those sketches to use! 😂❤🎉

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Amazing!!! We have friends who experienced it in 2017 and like you felt it was worth a long drive to see it again!! I'm so happy for you!! ❤️ Hopefully at some point in the future! 🤞 You absolutely rock for bringing your art supplies with you for the waiting period!! Have fun putting your sketches to use 🎨 And thank you so much for making the time to share and connect ☺️

Hi Gabrielle! I live in Wolfeboro NH. We did not have the total eclipse, but it was still very exciting to see the partial. I love all your paintings. I hope to try my hand at this style of art, which would definitely be inspired by your work.

Here on the east coast of Australia the eclipse was not visible at all. I believe the west coast may have had a glimpse but certainly not here. Your version is beautiful and I like it with the black and without.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

I think New Zealand may have a chance to see one next year or the following. I wonder if it will run on a path close to Australia since you're both so close 🤔 I appreciate your kind words! 💕 Thank you for watching and for making the time to connect 🤗🦘

I live in Nz and wasn’t sadly visible here yr painting amazing

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you Louise ❤️☺️ I LOVE NZ so much!! I wonder when the next one will be visible for you? One of the great things about technology and the internet is they can tell us in advance when and where the next eclipse will be visible ☺️

[@jeanneminton5226]

Stunning! And I'm so happy to see the thumbnail for this video will help me find it when I want to watch it again. Could you please go back to using the finished piece as the thumbnail? I save so many of your paintings and it makes it hard to find the one I want when I can't tell them apart.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Jeanne ❤️☺️ Thank you for your kindness and for sharing this input with me. I changed my thumbnails because YT has suggested that they make my videos less appealing to viewers 🤔 There is so much to take into consideration when creating my thumbnails that at times I feel like my head is spinning. 😂 Since the beginning of the year, I have started numbering my videos and hope this can offer a reference for you to look for. I'll run some tests to see how I can remedy this situation and I appreciate the heads up. 🤗

[@jeanneminton5226]

@@gabrielleannacormierart Thank you so much for this explanation but I have to say, it's the last thing I would have expected. While I can't guide you as far as getting more views, I can say that KZbin gets so much wrong when they advise content creators. Your music is lovely but most art channels have awful music that's so distracting and it's even worse when the artist is speaking. If it's music only, I don't worry about muting the sound but sometimes they are actually giving useful tips so it's hard to mute sound and use KZbin's horrible closed captions. Some channels do stop using music when enough viewers complain but some just keep saying KZbin is advising them that music enhances their videos. As far as your channel is concerned, I'll store some screenshots if I need to identify saved videos because you're so talented, I don't want to miss a thing. 😊

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

@@jeanneminton5226 Thank you for making the time to share all of this with me! ❤🤗 Honestly, I don't think YT always gets it right either and the longer I'm here, the longer I wonder about their motivations. 😳 I do mean it when I say I'm going to try to find a way to resolve this that will work for as many people as possible. In the meantime, I will keep numbering my video this year. Thank you for being here with me and for giving me this feedback. I appreciate your kindness and helpfulness so much 💕🤗

[@TeriEllen]

This is beautiful! I especially love the whimsical curlicues. I have one question. The salt effect looks quite different on the background of the painting than it does on the moon, but in both instances I think you used fine grain salt. What explains the difference? I was wondering if maybe you sprayed some water over the salt after you applied it to the background to make that swept look, or if maybe it had to do with a blow dryer drying the paint? Thanks as always for sharing your creativity and talent with us.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Teri Ellen ❤️☺️ Thank you so much for your kind words and for the question! 💕 From experience, it seems to be that the difference came mainly from the fact of having added more saturated watercolor over top my first layer. (You're right that I did use the same salt. 😉) I love the versatility of the salt as it does react differently in different stages of the painting process. ☺️ Whenever possible, I love to walk away and let the paper dry naturally after applying my salt over the paint. Whenever I try to rush the process along, I don't seem to get the same kind of effects. It's always fun to experiment though! 😉

[@TeriEllen]

Thank you for responding. I also love the tip about walking away and not being impatient about letting the salt do its thing. Your work is beautiful and always inspires me.

[@LynnLBE]

Did the paint dry like that because of the salt❓❓❓. It’s very cool‼️

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Yes, the salt does amazing things, doesn't it!! 😁 The effects are so cool that sometimes I have a hard time wanting to cover them up 😂 Thank you Lynn ❤️

[@charliefoxtrot6017]

@gabrielleannacormierart just looked on eBay for a ruling pen and they have listings for A1, A2, A3 and A4 … nothing to do with metric paper sizes! By photos in listings the length of the pen changes but no mention of how that changes line thickness if at all. Any suggestions? Recommendations?

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you for your question! I will do my best to answer to the best of my ability, but please keep in mind that ruling pens are very new to me also. As far as I know, the different sizes do change the thickness of the lines much in the same way different nib sizes do on fountain pens and regular pens. The ones I bought on Amazon (amzn.to/3xEMH1w) have different tip sizes but they are not numbered the same way you mention of the ones you found on EBay. The amount of ink or watercolor going through the tip can be controlled by adjusting the screw more or less tightly. There are other different types of ruling pens used in calligraphy and those seem more expensive but are probably also of a higher quality. I read a bit about them before making my purchase and most people seemed to say it wasn't necessary to buy anything too expensive. I hope this helps in some way! ☺️ You might be able to get more information by doing an online search on ruling pens as there is quite a bit of information out there and others who have been using them for much longer than me certainly would have more knowledge about these tools. If you find out anything helpful or interesting about them, please don't hesitate to share ❤️
