You can also use clear sheet protectors from an office supply or drugstore instead of the clear acrylic dividers. Hope you enjoy my invention that helps you make decisions about your art effortlessly.

[@judithsteinmann9934]

I really love your style, it's so fresh and helpful for my work. I always have new ideas after looking your videos! Thank you so much! Greetings from Berlin, Judith

[@karlabritfeld7104]

Such great ideas!

[@trinesandns4947]

You have so many brilliant ideas. Thank you for sharing so generously!

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Wow, this is genius. Thank you, Adele!

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@tanyahunter7320]

I’m so happy to have found your channel. Your style resonates with me and your generosity in sharing your techniques is greatly appreciated. Thank you 💕

[@judykane7682]

Adele-if you would make an Amazon list, it would be great! I waste a lot of time looking for the products you choose!❤️

[@MariaWalker-qo3vi]

Plus, if you’re an affiliate for Amazon or Dick blick I’m pretty sure you get a little something if we use your link to purchase! ❤

[@expthread]

this is a great idea to 'try out' shapes and colors before committing to canvas! I've washed off many canvases. now I can use this method ! thank you!!!

[@cheflaurawhalen395]

Great idea Adele! Thanks for the inspiration. You mention that you will show how to make the white writing art guide, but I'm not seeing it in this video. Is it somewhere else? Please advise. Merci!

[@lisawommack4095]

Great suggestion! I love the tip about using acrylic dividers, too!

[@rhonnachurch6929]

Hello Adele how good to see you again!

[@earfftopia]

This video is a game-changer, thank you so much for sharing. The hardest part for me is guessing what to do next, where to put it, what shape it needs to be, etc. This really helps my "planning" process, without needing to mess up what I already love. You are such a great teacher!

[@primeflycompany]

I'm constantly inspired by your videos. Really well done

[@jodielee2310]

You’re so much fun. 😊 who wouldn’t want an Aunty like you to come over and paint with! I love watching these.

[@gutobackboard]

Thanks for the tip Adele, always good to see you here!

[@raerae6422]

What an innovator you are! Simply brilliant!

[@aikaterinikontou8186]

Brilliant! I would also suggest to write down the colour-mixture, in a corner or somewhere, in case you want to reproduce it again.

[@creativitybar]

exactly I always go back to some colours after time and it is really hard to remember how u mixed it!

[@anjadommel_kunstatelier]

Normally I would use a drawing app on my iPad to find out, how new ideas for my artwork in progress would look like. I never thought of an analogue technique to do that. I will give this a try! Thanks Adele

[@gretchenrodriguez]

Me too! I love her idea.

[@grozdavranic6972]

Adele...You have so many great ideas...Thank you for sharing....

[@peggyfreedman7697]

Thank you Adele, great idea.

[@fearofpaint]

Great video Adele - thanks for sharing.

[@boondoggy2]

Thank you for that video. What a great idea to make marks like that and have them on hand. 👍

[@gelsominasalvia2082]

I am in love with your energy. I'm from now on a fan of yours ❤️🥰

[@everydaypaper]

What A brilliant idea!

[@heikestockhardt6774]

[@reginabaccar894]

Brilliant idea with the painting guides❣️

[@blancabetancourt1173]

Excelente ideas. Un abrazo. 👌🇨🇴🌹

[@bySusuko]

This is weird... I had this idea a few weeks ago... and today I found your video! Thank you for showing!

[@bittersweetreclaimedlands6883]

CC express for real life, this is great!

[@luciabalinbinartist1864]

Excellent idea!

[@debbielamson7600]

Please share the link on amazon for the clear acrylic dividers.

[@alinanaeem6003]

Thank you so much. I love the idea ✨

Love it!

[@hajarammar1202]

Great idea thank you ❤❤

[@bethlehemdesta3437]

Thank you very very much I am learning a lot ❤️

[@leahevergreenart]

This is so cool, i never thought to do this in a tactile way, What I have been doing is taking photos of my stuff and using Procreate to try shapes and added things but this feels more… in the moment and just fun. Ill need to try this for sure

[@coraannetoledo-merritt1220]

great idea.

[@gzalis1]

Thanks for the great video...I'm having such a hard time finding the right acrylic dividers on Amazon...would you mind adding a link to the ones you use? Thank you.

[@liz-yh9ip]

I am a very happy member of Art with Adele. It is fantastic therapy for 30 a month. Thank you..you have helped me overcome some big hurdles

[@jodirankin5901]

I love all of your ideas and am so inspired! I need "how to start" ideas and advice and here you are! So, I have searched Amazon and can't find these plastic sheets. I'm probably getting the name wrong. Are they for overhead projectors? I found that but not any with holes. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching!

[@Ccmm123]

Hi Adele. What is the paper palette you use? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@gracemodla8198]

Hi Adele, LOVE your spirit, energy, and work! How do you do the "writing" print? I love that too. Thank you!

[@gretchenrodriguez]

I was wondering the same. Adele? Do you have a video for that? You mention it here but didn’t show the technique. I’m so intrigued!

[@patriciacoughlinphd1852]

Can you provide a link for these acrylic pages? When I search for acrylic dividers, I get heavy dividers for clothing!

[@user-nq1lv3hr8j]

I use regular "clear protector sheets" for binders to make these guides, too. Easier to find in the office supply dept. of stores.

[@curiousm1nds]

Guess what! I invented that too but I use clear thick plastic! Haha I’ve never seen anyone else do this before except you and me 😜👍🏻

[@lewisoatway6770]

Brilliant Adele. But how do you use it? Past it on?

[@lisegingras1395]

Brilliant ! Thank you ! Once you have found the right shape, how do you "apply" it to your canvas?

[@creshalu]

You paint or draw it on with the medium and color of your choice.

[@user-nq1lv3hr8j]

You just re-create it directly onto the canvas. The guide just gives you a choice of what to paint or draw on top of the painting you have in progress.

[@petadillon2982]

Thanks so much for the great idea. How do you then put the pattern on the art work.. OR is the acrylic divider just the example and then you repaint it free hand?

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I usually use it like a stencil, or I can also do free hand, depending on what feel I'm going for. You should try it both ways and see what you like!

[@barbarak6]

@@AdeleSypesteynStudio Do you mean paint directly onto the guide over the mark, "print" with it onto the painting and then wipe off the guide?

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

@@barbarak6 you can do that or just eyeball it.

[@cheflaurawhalen395]

Hi Adele, your videos are energetic and so well-organized - I really enjoy them! Thank you. You mention in this video that you will show us how to make the write writing for the guide. Is that I striction in another video or do we have to subscribe to the art academy for the information? 💕

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Hi! I'm showing you how in this video. There isn't a pdf guide for it but if you follow along you should be able to recreate it!

[@cheflaurawhalen395]

but you're no showing us 'how', you're showing us the end result. I'm disappointed.@@AdeleSypesteynStudio

[@jodirankin5901]

Also, how does the guide translate to a painting? I couldn't find the video! Thank you!

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

It's helpful to see what interesting parts you have going on in your piece, to help your eye see where you may want to build or take away.

[@parkwaysmom]

This is genius. Can you show a link for these dividers. I have been searching and cannot find (Obviously not a genius)

[@user-fw7kg9gm7s]

Great! What red colour is that??

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I usually use a base of cad red and then mix as I go

[@yogawithrenee3491]

Adele, how do you join your monthly Saturday morning videos?

[@joanneleclerc4168]

Haven’t read all the comments but I was thinking that you also could use this technique but by putting a clear divider on top of your painting when you know what mark you want to make but you’re not sure if you will like it or if it really goes where you want to put it! So then you don’t ruin your painting and you can draw more spontaneously! And you can either wipe it from the clear divider and do another mark or different colour!😊

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Exactly!

[@yogawithrenee3491]

Adele, I can't find the link below?

[@AndyandJulieFrame]

🤍

[@IBeLieveInChrist07]

Rather than doing multiple ones, why not make one you can wipe off and reuse.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

I like having multiples because I want to reuse them for ideas.

[@carlhagemann1636]

I’m sorry Adele but my high school art teacher from 40 years ago and thousands of artists around the world would be surprised to hear you invented art books or art guides. It’s kind of extreme hubris to say you invented something that people have been doing for years.

[@AdeleSypesteynStudio]

Hi Carl, I’m sure there are lots of other types of art guides, but I’m saying this one done like I show you here I’ve never seen before and I came up with it. I’m just talking about this particular method of a painting guide.

[@juanitasanchez1809]

I like that idea but how do you use it do you trace the design or do you peel the paint off the divider?

[@juanitasanchez1809]

Please waiting for a reply.

[@creshalu]

@@juanitasanchez1809 you just paint or draw it on the canvas and replicate the guide. The guides are just that, guides and ideas. They’re not meant to transfer.

[@gabrielaart1]

Well, I’ve never seem this technique before and I am grateful that she shared it with us.
