Finding Joy in my Creative Process | Painting What I Love

[@yaelpedroza125]

That story about when you were kids and were shop owners selling mushrooms was so cute! Thanks for sharing that.

[@krissyvanous]

The little frog! Sooo cute!

[@b.cormier]

The cutest! 🐸💚

[@l.s.11]

cohesive editing, cozy storytelling, cute face and competent painting... you're gonna blow up on KZbin, I can already see it! :D

[@b.cormier]

I sure hope so!!! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@b.cormier]

Thank you Fabian! 😊

At the beginning I thought you actually "experimented" with mushrooms if you know what I mean lol. These paintings came out awesome. Way to go. Best

[@08vanessa.r]

Really loved seeing and hearing your creative process! Love love love this series, mushrooms, abstracts, foraging… 😍 Can’t wait to see more of what you create!

[@angeldomantay]

I love how you combine realism with abstract! Looking forward to your mushroom series :)

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot! They were a lot of fun to make - can't wait to continue the series!

[@ladytrinity81]

Wow! Very interesting and original. Unexpected beauty too.

[@trentriver]

I hope you continue your videos. They are informative and very relaxing to watch - unlike some of the "in your face" ones who think yelling and screaming is an effective way to get a message across. Cheers.

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the feedback 😊

[@chantalrochon3566]

Hi Brooke, I enjoyed the video. I also enjoyed sharing your artwork. I hope you get well soon. Hal

[@riot.9]

Hei! I also love mushrooms. It's so great that you paint them. I haven't painted them, just sketch, but I also collect them and make different dishes. It's autumn now and I can't wait to go mushroom hunting soon. My favorite to draw is amanita

[@erinloughery]

I've discovered your channel now, and I'm loving the videos, you're brilliant

[@rachelle2227]

There’s a card game called Morels you need to get! It’s a two player game where you ‘forage’ for mushrooms and ‘cook’ them. It’s a quick to learn game, that requires some skill to be good. It’s a favorite for my husband and I!

[@spamllama]

I love how you walked us through your creative process. Thank you.

[@vernaldedgecombe5667]

I enjoyed your thought process of the abstract/realism mushroom series! You are incredibly talented and entertaining!

[@paulienwassink7577]

amazing work! so beautiful!

[@hijayang4416]

An insparing video! The idea of mushrooms and beautiful colors make me to create my own paintins with what I love to paint. The detail info that how to prepared your panels and mediums are also great to know. Thank you for sharing this video. Keep going with your talent and humor! Lovely !

[@julisasinclair8980]

Beautiful content very inspiring

[@I_Echion]

Love your realistic stuff. The combination with the artsy abstract stuff really stands out. Defintly want to see more pieces of it, this style can also suit other series or pieces. And most importantly keep painting them if they give you the most joy doing so :).

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! Happy to hear you like the work 😄

[@personalalchemy1111]

[@marshalepage5330]

Donna Dewberry one stroke painting is the style you got from Janna Watson. It's been around since the 1990s.

[@marshalepage5330]

Donna was on PBS in the 90s

[@Mountain_Spirit]

Love the video Brooke! Never heard of Janna Watson but I’m glad you shared her with us. Thank you ❤

[@JimmyRector]

these paintings are amazing. wow

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot Jimmy!!

[@chayeonwoo6614]

Your artwork is so real 😮 I love your artwork ❤ I always like your artwork I'm your fan.

[@crystaltanart]

What a great video. Thanks for sharing your work, your creative process, your passion for the subject and exploration of your work!! This is a great series. Love them all.

[@brucema5659]

The way you mix abstract with realism is really how we see things, right? When you walked into the woods, you saw these mushrooms, your focus would be on the mushrooms and their details. The surroundings would be kind of abstractive. So, for me you were painting your impression of the mushrooms. The surroundings just complimented them, instead of compete with them. (i.e., painting the idea rather than the actual thing). I love it. That's from a viewer's perspective of one person. But what do I know. 😅

[@StevenKephart]

As an artist in training I love hearing about other artists processes. Thank you so much for sharing all this. I can't wait for the next video!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks Steve! It was fun to share the process!

[@jonathanmm177]

love your art work miss Brooke

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot Jonathan! :)

[@SophieGreenFineArt]

There's so much I love about this vid, but my personal fav is 'rival shopkeepers'. And the mushrooms! ❤ I'm micro-dosing them as we speak! 😂

[@b.cormier]

Haha thanks Sophie! 🙏That's so interesting, how is your experience with micro-dosing? I've been reading a bit about it!

[@SophieGreenFineArt]

@@b.cormier I’m a fan - it got me out of a jam a few years ago when I was super anxious. Now I’m trying it out for its neuroplasticity benefits alongside meditation/yoga, lots of good mental/physical habits. I’d only use a source (dealer?😂) you trust though and there’s some interesting podcast eps on it too :)

[@b.cormier]

@@SophieGreenFineArt Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience, I'm happy it's working for you! :)

[@Mountain_Spirit]

@@SophieGreenFineArt I tried it in the past but I didn’t feel any difference. Perhaps I should try again :)

So Good! 😊

[@b.cormier]

Thank you Adam! :)

[@coltengear96]

Amazing work! Not sure why I find mushrooms fascinating, but the number of colors and shapes as well as the whole swamp feel where they tend to grow. I always found that interesting. Someday I'd like to paint some mushrooms with poison arrow frogs. I think that'll be a good combo

[@KB-ty2gc]

So awesome, thanks for sharing. I've been foraging mushrooms since the age of two. It's so rare to see other people with such passion. I have yet to make my first mushroom painting. Cheers!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks for watching! I'm happy there's few foragers, more treasures for us! 😉

This series is so interesting to me. Your mixing of colorful abstract and realism creates an enjoyable depth of interest in each piece. I love watching talented people work. It sparks joy. :) :) Thank you, Brooke.

Thanks so much Scot! I really appreciate that 🙏

[@brizy2193]

Are any of your paintings for sale? So unique!! I love them 😊

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much! I currently have only one mushroom abstract left and you can find it for sale on my website ☺ www.brookecormier.com/collections/paintings

[@MrEllenstone]

Brooke I have an idea, you’ve probably already thought of it though. I see abstract painting and then realistic mushrooms popping out of the abstract. But like the third painting at the end, the cream ones.. what if you leaned into that a little to make the abstract all of a sudden become a mushroom like the first shape is abstract and the same color scheme carries it around to a realistic mushroom of the same colors and carries on again abstract. Does that make sense? I feel like it would be in good keeping with the bit you read from the book!

[@b.cormier]

I think I understand your idea! Like a metamorphosis from abstract to mushroom, sounds interesting. I'll keep that in mind moving forward with the series!

[@arina_lu_]

Amazing paintings! 😍🌺

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! ☺

[@KudoYoung]

Brooke! Hope you and the fam are doing well. I've been out looking for Morels with my cousin a few times, but tend to be a boring button mushroom guy, and it's usually from a store lol.

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! Morel hunting is most fun when you know where to find them ;)

[@sal7777777]

WOW, they look incredible, how long did it take you to finish the series and how many did you end up doing?

[@mauricioescalanteart8185]

the guide to identify mushrooms that your mom gave you, must have saved your life more than once hehehe… it was a very brave step to combine realism with the abstract, the result is spectacular. A true artist like you innovates and that is appreciated by those of us who admire you. With this video you invite us not to fear doing new things. thank you !!!

[@WinstonCharles2010]

Amen

[@b.cormier]

I really appreciate that Mauricio! It's comments like these that encourage me 🙏☺

Thank u a lot, really!

How am I just now seeing this 😭. I love mushrooms and your work so this was perfection 😅! Do you have any prints of this series ? If so I’d love to snag one 🍄.
