Fantastic! Thank You!

[@artonthecreek]

You’re so welcome! I hope you get the chance to really paint freely this week!

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

I absolutely just love the colors in this cute cat! This such a great idea. Thank you.

[@artonthecreek]

Hi JoAnne! Thank you so much and have fun exploring the 🌈🌈 in your palettes!!!

[@awatercolourist]

I love how you used a lot of colours for this animal portrait.

[@artonthecreek]

Thanks AW! It’s very freeing-I hope you get the chance to try it this week❤️

[@awatercolourist]

@@artonthecreek Perhaps not this week. But it something that I would like to try if I ever pickup portraiture.

@@awatercolouristthrow some paint down on some good paper just for the sheer fun AW. I fully intend to. Whatever sort of painting you enjoy, do it with colours, just remember values. I intend to photograph my paint choices first to see where they lay on the value scale as also not so good at working that out sometimes. Warm and cool, fine, but value…?. I feel like Tiggr Woohoo hoo hoo!! 😂😂🌈🌈😂

@anitadavidson1266 woo hoo hoo!!!! Enjoyyyyyy!!!!!🌈🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

@@anitadavidson1266 😄😄😄. I have to squint to see values.

Completely filling a sketchbook is such a rush - one I've experienced only rarely! Yeah, there are times when I regret being sporadic with art through the years. What was I thinking?? I was fascinated with the process, here. In particular, the splatter and the wet runs of color. 🤩

[@artonthecreek]

Pretty trippy, isn’t it?! The rush is REAL!! It feels like such a huge accomplishment to complete a sketchbook. Sadly I have way too many going at once😂 Sporadic? Me too! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Hope all is loose, free & fun in your neck of the woods, Irene. Now I’m off to watch your latest!!

Why didn’t I know that colors have values? 🤩

Hi Sue! We all have our 💡 moments!👩🏻‍🎨🎨😄 I’m happy you found this tutorial interesting! Have fun using all the paints on your palette!❤️🎨

[@anitadavidson1266]

Huh, I just had to close the video and then restart it so I could comment - Ann, did some of those splatters get on my iPad? 🤔 Anyhoo, what an incredible painting Ann!! I HAVE to try this! I know colour is less important than value, but this made me like this 😀 the entire way through!! I want to pull up one of my many animal pics on my phone and give it a try. As I am still not confident with my sketching, I think I would print the image and use tracing paper to make sure the features are like Flora, Whispa or Lily, then let loose with the colour and splatters. If all goes well and I am up and about tomorrow (hurt my spine again) I desperately want to try this. Isn’t it such a coincidence that I chose the frog and splatter card for that birthday? Oh, forgot to say. Not Emma’s Dad, he died in 2001. No, this is my error from back in 2016 😂😂😂🤷‍♀️ Truly excited and maybe just a little high on pain meds 😂😂😂 Sorry. 🎨👩🏻‍🎨🖌️❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈🐈😻

My splatters are inter-continental?!?? Maybe give me a heads up when you paint yours so I can don a raincoat!😂😂😂👩🏻‍🎨👩🏻‍🎨💦💦 I promise to be better about all the character names in your tales…I do have the issue of mixing things up if they start with the same letter, such as Richard & Roger…mea culpa! Please trace! That’s a very good thing to do! I use a light box from time to time and I have zero shame. I hope you really enjoy painting this one Anita! I’m quite thrilled you enjoyed this! Thank you💜💜

[@anitadavidson1266]

@@artonthecreek I promise to give you a heads up when the paintbrush is locked and loaded with splatter consistency paint! 😂😂 You get confused?? I get utterly confused and they are my own tales!! 😂🤷‍♀️😳😳 Wait… which one am I again? 🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♀️😻😻

@anitadavidson1266 hahaha! Perhaps we have fallen down the rabbit hole together, and the Jabberwocky governs our thoughts and words! “Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe…”
