From Inspiration to Authentic Work- Artist Vlog

[@dee-ellencook763]

This was very pleasurable to watch., I usually like a shorter video, but hung on every nuance of this one! I love your art. I have tried to duplicate some of your beautiful pieces, but fail every time. I have decided you are just one of a kind and derive joy from watching you!

[@iritlandgraf]

Thank you so much Dee! So kind! Glad you enjoyed ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Irit, thanks for sharing your fascinating art supplies 😍 I was wondering if you would do a vlog comparing the different brands and formulas of the luminous/ fluorescent colors you have? Just like you, I love Holbein luminous colors and was wondering how those compare to Golden fluorescent acrylic paints and inks and whatever else you have since you mentioned some of the Golden fluorescent colors are rather unique? 😄🙏

[@iritlandgraf]

Noted! I don't have a ton of Golden because they are soooo expensive here but I can definitely compare the ones I have 😀

[@marijadika6444]

Sandi is as bad for my wallet as you are:)))! You are giving me ideas for my next shopping spree! And swatching new stuff on a painting, I always do that!!! Great video

[@iritlandgraf]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed ❤️

This is such a great video packed with so much information ❤. I enjoy your thought processes and your inspiration. I too enjoy Betty Franks work but it’s too busy for me. We all need to find our own voice and experimentation is how to find it 🎉

[@iritlandgraf]

I'm so glad you enjoyed 😀❤️

Perfect video 💕 Thank you💕 watching again. Those liquitex ink bottle tops are difficult to open. I’m loving working on my cradled wood too💕 Golden fl. Magenta is gorgeous.

[@iritlandgraf]

You are so welcome!

Hullo Irit, I wonder if you have access to LUKAS paints? LUKAS CRYL Liquid Artists' Acrylics and Studio Acrylics are quite nice with an even wider range of colors and in the squeeze bottles too! They are imported from Germany by Jerry's here in the states. They have a full line of paints in most every medium too! I used a set of their watercolors and found them satisfactory, but I am so in love with DaVinci watercolors that I will not be changing for quite some time! I have used Masonite boards like the Ampersand boards, quite thin. I use simple hooks glued to the back or glue a board to the back, I router out grooves for creating a place for a nail or hook to mount the picture to the wall. The board sets the picture out from the wall giving it a shadow effect.

[@iritlandgraf]

Yes! Love Lukas! I have a few of their liquid paints but haven't gotten a chance to really play with them and get to know them. For sure they are the most cost effective option for me in Austria. Thanks for sharing!

[@chloegrl1366]

Irit chk out floater frames for the Ampersand....Amazon shd have them in the uk

[@iritlandgraf]

Will do! Thank you 😊

I've done some experimenting using Golden " super matte" medium to shiny acrylics and it seems to work ( not regular matte medium, but the super matte). Both should help to make the Amsterdam matte.

[@iritlandgraf]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@ciscospice]

A second vote for the super matte medium. It’s a wonderful product.

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, such an inspiring video ☺☺

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you think so!

[@Gail-uz6nb]

You can mix air brush medium with your favorite acrylic paint to get an ink if you can't find it in your favorite brand.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for the tip! I would also add using pure pigments with mediums, I'm just really lazy;)

[@chloegrl1366]

Yummy Gelato colors Beautiful!!! Love those wood panels with wrap around side need to try these

[@iritlandgraf]

You should!

[@nancyloomis3046]

I think the piece you did at 24 + minutes is maybe my fave? I don't know why exactly...it just hit me.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thank you 😊 really appreciate it!

[@loripalladino4964]

Great video! Hoping you show us how the last painting evolves🌸

[@iritlandgraf]

Definitely!!

[@pagewhite61]

Fantastic video Irit, thank you so much.

[@iritlandgraf]

My pleasure 😊

[@kookatsoonjan]

the 2 pieces @ 24 minutes...make an awesome pair to hang together...the ones on the panels...they look like a series maybe...

[@iritlandgraf]

Thank you! I agree! Super happy with how they turned out 😃

[@sabinemetscher6449]

Yes, big canvas add on,the texture is great. The wood board comparisons was good to see. Your Golden, High Flow colors💕 I went for light Phthalo Blue & my brights live in oranges: Charvin’s Golden Yellow, Amsterdam Red Gold acrylic. A Heavy Body Light Magenta for small marks🪷🐾🐾🖌️

[@iritlandgraf]

Excellent color choices🙌🙌

[@susansacco7583]

Thank you!

[@phoenixawakenedpodcast]

Very inspirational ❤

[@sara33678]

You have to try vallejo paints. They are from Spain, so the paints are chepar for us from EU. I really like them.

[@iritlandgraf]

Hi! Yes I've seen them! They have several types from heavy body to liquid? Which ones are your fave?

[@sara33678]

I like the normal acrylic paints and fluid colors. I just ordered some mat colors to try.

[@karenirving7088]

I wish you used watercolours more.

[@iritlandgraf]

I love watercolors! But I can't really use them on large canvases, so that's sad :(
