Wow my friend ,how awesome to watch your work of art come to life ,you are so special kind and caring ,and I thank you for bringing it into my home ,its the evening here in Aotearoa after a really hot day ,I have the doors open to listen to all the bird song , such perfect timing for your tutorial , today I have been playing with water colour and ink with flowers and leaves ,plus finishing a pencil portrait of my late father in law,who died in an accident many years ago ,their mother had to raise 13 children on her own ,they all did well in life ,the portrait is in honor of him ,the younger siblings don't remember him so this portrait will be given to them next year at a family reunion and their oldest brothers 80th birthday, portraits are not my usual art ,so difficult to get a likeness,but it's okay ,arohanui to you ,thanks for lifting my spirits and inspiring me ,arohanui.

ii remember old Kodak & polaroiud commercials bringing the picture into view as the chemicals & colors emerged from nothing... watching you paint has me holding my breath as the layers build & colors evolve like a magic photo... ii sense we all participate as yr focus includes us... wow, sis... ty.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Oh my! Did I ever enjoy watching those Polaroid pics develop right before my eyes! 🥰✨ What a lovely and fun comparison! I love it! Thankyou so much Judy 🤗💕 You always have a way of bringing an extra sparkle into my eyes with your kind words!

[@EllenRigor]

I always love getting home from work, but Wednesdays are especially exciting because there's a new GAC video! It's been a challenging Autumn in many ways; your videos are definitely bright moments. As always, this painting is exciting and inspiring. AND I so appreciate and enjoy having The Treasures Within as a reminder that good things are always present, even when they can't be seen. I hope this Thanksgiving finds you well!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Aww 🥰 Thank you so much for your kindness and support Ellen! 🤗 You brought a big smile to my face with your thoughtful words. It means a lot to me that my videos can help brighten your Wednesdays! Sending you lots of love and great hugs 💕🤗

[@gabydavis10]

As always another true piece of art. I absolutely love your work, particularly these colors look so wonderful together. The texture and the crackle what a great combination. I could go on and on….😅. Thank you for continuing to share your process and inspire me! ❤

[@alineroberts]

WOW WOW WOW!!! Spectaculaire. 💕

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Merci beaucoup Aline! 💕🤗 Que ça me fait plaisir de pouvoir partager tout ça avec vous tous xoxo

[@sandracraig3070]

The colours are amazing! Much ❤ from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Sandra 💕🤗 Thank you so much!! I hope Ireland is treating you well these days xoxo

[@sandracraig3070]

Hmmmm Ireland. Today its cold and wet and so dull. A bit like living in a tupperware box. PLUS, its voting day for us to change or keep our current goverment so no snuggling this evening, have to shiver along to the polling booths 😂.

[@liseovery1413]

This is spectacular wow wow wow!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you so much Lise 💕🤗

[@candacekerr4139]

Beautiful! It’s striking!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

I appreciate your kind words so much! Thank you Candace💕🤗

[@janwoodyer735]

Absolutely stunning! You do have the most amazing palette! Not the run of the mill colours but presumably colours you’ve seen elsewhere and included in your own personal palette. Beautiful ❤

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hello sweet friend 🤗💕 thank you so much for your kind words! When I’m shopping for paint, I usually look at the color swabs and let my intuition do the picking for me. Whatever calls my name is what comes home ☺️ And oh how I LOVE color! 🥰

[@janwoodyer735]

@gabrielleannacormierart 😍

[@lorielong8284]

The gold at the end, you just can't go wrong. And the intense colors you have achieved is so vibrant and wonderful. I like the crackles too so I don't see the problem with it, it looks wonderful!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Lorie 🤗❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words! I love how it all came together too and it was so much fun to play with this one ☺️ Sending extra love and great big hugs your way 💕🤗

[@bonitadonovan4704]

Happy belated Thanksgiving Gabrielle, to you and your family! I hope you had a nice celebration. I love Thanksgiving foods (and desserts 😉)! 😋 I heard your special little helpers' footsteps 🐾 so I had to rewind and take a closer look to see your sweetheart Garou! He is so adorable!! 🥰 I really love the cardboard you used for texture! Until recently I never paid attention to the textures in random items. It's so funny how I get excited now, if I get some great boxes or packaging. 😂 My husband will now ask me, if he is getting rid of something, if it is something I may want to use in my projects. I guess I trained him well! 😉 😂 I really love the painting this week! I love the colors and the textures, and of course the gold! I can imagine how beautiful it is in person!! 😍 I am thrilled for you and the success of your new website! 🥳 It must be amazing (rewarding) to know that people love and want to purchase your paintings!! 🤩 It sounds like you've got some fun things planned for the upcoming year! How have you been feeling? Have you gotten any snow yet? We got our first snow this morning, a whole two inches! 😂 People here can't drive in it, so I'm glad it wasn't a big first snow. Snow is so beautiful, I just love the way it sparkles! I'd like to get one big snow day this winter! 😊 Have a blessed week my friend. Sending hugs from very cold St. Louis! Please give your little helper hugs from me too. Love you! ❤️ 🤗

[@ruthdodson1299]

So beautiful!

[@rbdreamsart]

Beautiful color pallet!

[@Diane-cv7jb]

Belle combinaison de couleurs. Très beau! 💖

[@thegypsy1968]

In some ways this reminds me of a beautiful mixed media collage brick and mortar design done by Nik The Booksmith several years back. I love this ...the colors, textures and the mediums used. It definitely is inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Hugs,GinaB💖😍💕❤

[@Komponents]

I didn’t realize Nik did mixed media, I’ll have to look. Thanks!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Gina ☺️❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m not familiar with the work of Nik The Booksmith, but I will check it out. I’m so glad to see you enjoyed this! Hugs to you sweet friend. 🤗💕

[@thegypsy1968]

@@Komponents well most of her stuff is mainly all kinds of techniques and styles of book making....but there is a little mixed media in there.

[@rachelsmith7462]

This is lovely x

[@marshakopeika9671]

How do you keep out doing yourself? Watching you paint is so beautiful as it is relaxing ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️👏👏👏👏👏

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Aww 🤗💕Thank you Marsha! I’m so happy you’re continuing to enjoy watching me paint 🥰

[@zajournals]

Love love *love* this... everything about it 👍 brilliant and SO well done 🙂 Consideration: once you get color down in the cracks of the crackle paste, spray a workable fixative over it which will give the next watercolor layers something to stick to.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Zander 🤗 Thank you so much for both your kind words and for the suggestion! I actually wondered if a workable fixative could help and I’ll definitely give it a go next time. ☺️ So many ways to make things work! Love it! Wishing you an awesome day 🤗💕

[@Ingeborgstrandebruun]

Dette var noe helt annet - igjen🤩 Jeg elsker fargene! Og resultatet. Morsomt å se du jobber med andre ting enn akvarell også. Takk for inspirasjonen du alltid gir💕 Ha en fin uke!🤗

[@RozWilloughby]

this is awesome...love love love it!!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Thank you so much Roz 🤗💕

[@HiThereHeyThere]

New viewer. Watching you lay out the paste at start to 6:38 made me realize this is also a cool idea for texture under collage work. ❤ Love the overall design and colors at end

Thank you for the Dr Gabor Mate link too he is very interesting and has many insights into living well. Wishing you a week warm with love ❤️ B x 💙💫😘

[@rosiepisatcky7877]

I see a woman walking in the park. Also their shadows. There is a blue dog running along their side. There in also a person on a park bench Am I nuts .. possibly. This was seen before any fixing. Love abstract art. Love your work especially Gabrielle!

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Rosie 💕🤗 I love your ability to look at abstract art and capture so much! As I was creating this painting I was thinking about the self merging with community and how we are all more than just a sum of our parts. Abstract expression speaks to me a lot too! Thank you so much for your kindness and for making the time to connect with me sweet friend 🥰

[@purplecottoncandyarts]

Awesome work! Please provide the correct link for the corrugated paper. You typed the link for the stencil twice. Thanks for sharing!

[@morganmatthews6254]

I like how the watercolor falls between the cracks of the crackle paste and really emphasizes the cracking. I’m going to try adhering watercolor paper to cradle board with modeling paste. My board is 10”x10”. I noticed the paste doesn’t adhere to places where the application is too thin. Do you put weight on it while it dries to help it adhere evenly? I tried gesso and mod podge but I like the paste for watercolor because it doesn’t seem to mess with the paint like the other two.

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

Hi Morgan ❤️🤗 Thank you so much for your kindness! You’re absolutely right that if there is not enough modeling, the paper won’t adhere well because both the board and the paper are absorbant. So, a thicker application works best. Usually, using a brayer over the paper helps to press it down onto the board and remove any air pockets that could prevent proper adhesion. I find the edges and corners of the paper to be especially important to press down. Once I’ve used the brayer or a plastic card to press the paper onto the board, it’s not usually necessary to weight it down. I think it will also dry and set faster with more open exposure to air. I hope this helps ☺️

[@morganmatthews6254]

@ Thank you for explaining the science of the materials. It’s so helpful to know and not always easy to find. I’m going to try out your tips and tricks today. So excited! Perfect post-holiday fun 😁
