Highland Loch, Painting with Polymer Clay

[@edwinleach7401]

When I first saw the piece I thought it was painted. Much to my surprise and delight, I found you accomplished the beautiful piece by blending. Thank you very much for sharing.

Thanks so much Edwin 😊

There are so many things to love about this tutorial Fiona! Beautiful job! 😍

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Oh wow, coming from you that means such a lot, thank you Cindy :)

[@hollytucker3332]

Only few artists can teach in a way that not only give the "tips and tricks" but also inspire to go out and create on their own... Bob Ross made me feel that way as a teen and you make me feel that as an adult...thank you for giving and sharing your time and wisdom 💜

Oh wow, what a lovely thing to say, thank you so much Holly :)

[@jewelrylane1032]

Fiona you are so fantastic about explaining everything. I never get bored of your materials lists or starting instructions for your projects like I do with others. This scene is absolutely brilliant. It really does look like it's been painted. I'm a complete newb with polymer clay but you inspire me to practice more so I can be fabulous like you! Thank you for your earlier comment letting me know about your polymer clay guild rose cane video redo also! I am going to tackle it for my first "not simple" clay cane. Watching you create is really such a lovely way to pass the time. I thank you so much for sharing your beautiful skills with us!- Shannon

this is hypnotizing. I do water colors so it amazes me your technique versus water color thank you so much for doing this tutorial. Very generous of you to share. as it is a long video.

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

thanks Patty, you are very welcome, watercolours are great, I paint in oils, and often do scenes like this in the oils, so I simply transferred them across to clay :) As a water colourist you will definitely have a head start on those who don't paint at all :)

[@onepaint2002]

can you do a video on some scrap clay that has air traped and what happens when it's baked please

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Hi Junwell, if you have air trapped it will expand in the oven and create a domed or bubble effect. So we want to avoid this if possible. You can normally tell where bubbles are as the clay may look a little domed or rises up after you have rolled it. If you find a bubble, simply push a pin into it to allow the air to be pushed out and smooth the clay down around it. Once the piece has baked, there is little you can do about it. I wasn't thinking about doing a video on this at the moment, but you have got me thinking, but I thought I would mention what to do to you in the meantime. I hope that is of some help? :)

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Fiona, your work is so beautifully detailed, is it possible you can record at a higher frame rate, as I'm struggling to see the detail of some of the amazing work you're doing. I realise it's quite possible you've actively chosen this upload quality as for a long video it can take forever to upload 🥴 - I'm just concerned that it doesn't do your work justice... 1080p would probably do it - many people are now even recording in 4K, which offers _extraordinary_ detail - though I realise this may possibly be perhaps a bridge too far! 🤗

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Yes, sadly the upload connection I have only allows me to do this size :( When I tried with a higher resolution, it wanted to take 6 hours to load on KZbin, and kept chucking me out. Hopefully one day, when I get a better connection at home I can do a higher resolution :)

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals Thank you! You certainly deserve a better connection, Fiona! Not sure if the Govt's gigabit vouchers are still running - might be worth investigating... Love your work. 😊

[@suzannedawson4120]

Is it safe for the previously baked clay to bake it again for the baking?

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Absolutely :) some of my sculptures get baked 10 or 12 times as I add additional pieces :)
