How to finish an acrylic painting.

[@sherrierichard2848]

Really good work! So enjoyed seeing your finished works. Thanks!

[@taketimetoseait396]

Each video, while playing, gets paused often... I go to something and start doing whatever on paper, sketchbooks, and the covers of course canvas. Yr enthusiasm is contagious. Using colorful combos is something to teach us more about. Getting new artists showing up on KZbin since I've started watching U. Take sandpaper over the chalk painted frames for a distressing that may go with some of ur tea pot series...and plz more tea pot and vase shapes...videos. Look forward to shorts ... how about 2-3 a week, it will help grow ur subscribers to the nx thousand. Also, like when U add outdoorsy scenes. Seein other areas of this world makes for a Vaca in the mind. Ann, Florida fan.

Hello Ann, love that suggestion to sand the frames 😍I always make a note of your pointers and encouragement, such kindness, Thank You 🥰

[@laurenp1274]

Love the new rug-inspired series. Hope the rain and snow and other crazy weather holds out for you today at the pop up exhibition. Sending all my love (and feeling equally amazed about subjectivity...who couldn't love the legs.....???) 💕💕💕

[@gaynorpattle]

The painting that doesn't feature legs has been christened "LEG LESS" 😂🥰

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Have a wonderful exhibition! Love all of your videos, they inspire me and I love seeing you revise your works, showing that you can change things up. Wish my husband was a resident frame maker for me, I think he needs a new hobby! Maybe your husband could do a quick bit on how he makes the frames? Would love to see that. I have my own mitre box and saw! Thanks for all you do. Love your channel!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hi Kathy, Craig has coughed and spluttered his tea at the suggestion of doing a bit of filming 😂 I have been asking questions and will try and explain his method as best I can ! Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰

[@KathyBrooksArt]

@@gaynorpattle No worries, my husband would feel the same way, and surely would have also spit his coffee :-) . I think I will try to put one together, I think it's just a basic floater type frame with wood going around the back, to give the panel a place to be attached. I just love your videos, each one is so fresh and inviting and kind of like hanging out with a friend. Thanks for all you do!

[@PIXARTRA]

Those art works are just fabulous, the colours and the style. Well done Gaynor.

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank You 😍

[@anitajones7804]

Thursdays don't come around often enough, I just love your videos. Thanks for the tour of the Pantiles, what a lovely area and gorgeous shops, I hope you sell lots of work which is fabulous by the way, I love the teapot paintings xx

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Anita, Little doubts have been creeping in with the 'Teapots', so how lovely to read your words. Heartfelt thanks for such encouragement and kindness 🥰

[@fionawhitfield925]

Good luck with the Pop Up Art Show Gaynor. I hope you do well, as you deserve to. You put a tremendous amount of work into your paintings. All different, but all so uniquely your style. Your own personal framer is a big bonus! He’s a keeper😂

[@gaynorpattle]

Hi Fiona and thank you for your good wishes. We have just finished the 'hanging' and I'm enjoying a cup of tea! Heads up on next week .... I've asked (very nicely) that my PF makes a stretcher for canvas because I can't find the right size ready made in the shops 😂😂Thank you for your constant support and kindness 🥰

[@kimlacefield5716]

love, love, love the leg paintings!! 🦿😍

[@gaynorpattle]

Ahhh Kim, thank you - my marmite paintings ! My husband hated them, my daughter loved them, I just had a great time making them 😂

[@teresaedwards4175]

Good luck with the exhibition! Your work looks Amazing! Love the big flower painting, it’s gorgeous!!❤️ Always look forward to your videos, you are 😂so talented. 🙏 Your garden looks Amazing in the snow, like the plants have become like sculptures with the snow on them, gorge. 😊

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you Teresa, We are all hung up and just sitting with a cup of tea ! How lovely to read your kind comment , heartfelt thanks 🙏🥰

[@jennifernichols8403]

Have a great Exhibition, I hope you do well. I love your Teapot paintings 😊

[@gaynorpattle]

WHOOP WHOOP another subscriber likes the 'Teapots' - that makes me very happy. Thank you Jennifer 😍

[@jodirankin5901]

Hi, I am binge watching your videos and enjoying how open and vulnerable you are! And that you share a lot about the process and how you feel and what inspires you. Because as someone just starting out learning to paint and in my 60's I had the strange idea that I should complete a painting in one sitting and then felt discouraged when that didn't happen. You have really helped me! I would like to know what kind of paper those very large sheets are? I've searched the internet and can't find anything except easel sheets or rolls and don't know if that works for painting. Thank you!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Jodi and a big Welcome, thank you for a lovely message. You would be amazed by how many people think you have to sit down and produce a masterpiece in one go 😂It took me ages to discover a better method ! Those large sheets have sat under my sofa for a few years - they were given to me and I can only guess that they are at least 200 gsm - probably more. I would google A1 heavy duty art paper - I wish I could be more helpful but I haven't bought anything as I have quite a pile to get through ! I would also say that I experiment on different weights and sizes. Let me know how you get on. 🥰

[@meesh327]

Best of luck with the pop up! I really enjoyed this week's video. Thank you for sharing.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Michele, Another message from 4 weeks ago that I have only just seen - apologies for this late response ! Thank you for taking time to comment.

[@sharonalkenbrack2871]

Have a great pop up. I love your videos, you make it so much fun.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Sharon, Thank you 😀I never realised that art could be fun - for the longest time I took it too seriously and almost ground to a halt !! Don't get me wrong, I still have difficult and frustrating moments but the process is so rewarding, it is a very happy thing 🥰

[@ailsatg]

Have a lovely exhibition, it's looking good!

[@gaynorpattle]

THANK YOU 😍

[@SimoneWhippArtist]

Such a beautiful body of work Gaynor! You are my art mentor without evening knowing you are! Good luck with the exhibition - I wish I lived nearer so I could pop along. x

[@gaynorpattle]

Such kind words and heartfelt thanks🥰 It would be amazing if a subscriber popped in ! A mix of nerves and excitement now as the final finishing layers are going on !

[@deborahdewar746]

Lovely work for the pop up. Best of luck. I really enjoyed seeing the Pantiles. Love your videos and enthusiasm and sense of curiosity to follow your artistic leads.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Deborah, I have only just found this comment - apologies ! Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to comment.

[@julieweaver3768]

Hi Gaynor. I adore your work, the way you experiment, ❤️ ♥️, no fear there of messing things up, and as you say, mistakes can end up fabulously, scrummy work. It's all about keeping in tune with our child within, cannot go wrong when we do. Just look at how freely little ones express themselves, truly is beautiful. And I hope you have a wonderful exhibition. Much ❤️ love to you. Jules.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Jules, THANK YOU for taking time to leave such a lovely comment 🥰

[@terrivannood145]

I've just seen this video . Unfortunately I'm late to the game. I absolutely love your work and your processes. I am very interested in the larger painting that sits between Rosa and Rosa Lee. Please let me know if its available. I hope you keep posting videos because I love winding down with them at the end of a long day. Loving your work all the way from Hawaii, USA

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello and Welcome X Thank you so much for watching and leaving this very kind message. The painting between Rosa and Rosa Lee doesn't want to leave the studio !! I thought I could....but found I couldn't let that one go ! Have a wonderful week in Hawaii XXX

[@abyfuller]

Gaynor! Aaaaaah you're amazing, total Gaynor addict here now 😂 I love your energy and your passion, sheer joy! I'm in Eastbourne and squeaked when you mentioned my little sunny (currently raining) town 😍

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello and Welcome Aby, lovely to hear from you 😊We loved our trip to Eastbourne, not to mention the Towner .... fantastic 🥰

[@staceybobbitt7927]

Gaynor- i so love the way your thin canvases and canvas boards sit into the frames. Is there any chance your resident framer would be willing to share how he makes these frames? I am also curious how they are attached into the frames if you drop them in from the front.... so many questions!! Thank you for sharing your process so freely❤😊

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Stacey, I'm going to share Craig's framing technique this Thursday - for the thin canvases, he uses thin strips of soft wood to pack the canvas up to make it flush with the edge of the frame. I'll try and expand on this in a video in the New Year 🥰

[@charmainbain3965]

Gaynor I recently subscribed to your channel. J find your work to be quite unique and I love your online personality. ❤ Yes you are speaking and someone from Trinidad, West Indies is listening.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hi Linda, The Pop Up is this weekend and I am a bit all over the place !! The frames are an L shape and the boards are screwed in from behind. I will show a close up on the next video, as that is a very good point ! Have a lovely weekend and thank you for your lovely comment 🥰

Bless You Anne....Thank You 🤩

@Gaynor Pattle watch the Paint Coach on KZbin...Chris is cool and easy to understand and teaches so much in short time, as U do also...Like the style U put to action on the shorts. Hope U sell alot at the festivals. I sold a canvas and 3 bowls...I make with beach stone or shells. Do U have a Twitter account. ? Will send pix.

[@gaynorpattle]

@@taketimetoseait396 no twitter, are you on insta ? Will look at Paint Coach 🥰

[@deborahdickens-zp9zr]

Hi Gaynor As one of your new subscribers I just wanted to let you know I have now watched all of your KZbin videos, some of them several times. I now feel like you are a friend who I will look forward to seeing every Thursday for conversations on inspiration, creativity, support and sometimes spontaneous funny chats. I was at my weekly Art Group in Essex yesterday and mentioned you to several fellow Artists who I hope will now watch your videos and enjoy them as much as I have. Good luck with the Pop Up exhibition at the weekend. P.S. I have bought myself a hardback Sketchbook and hope to start using it soon. 😊

[@gaynorpattle]

AHH Deborah, you are so kind, thank you for such a wonderful comment. I am so lucky to have subscribers who encourage me along and share with other people ❤When I first started with the hardback Sketchbook I got very anxious about messing it up - putting a ground down on the first few pages can help enormously - have fun 🥰

[@deborahdickens-zp9zr]

@@gaynorpattle Thank you Gaynor, I will take on board what you suggest and have re watched your video on starting a Sketchbook. I think my opening lines will be How to start, Where to start and What to start with 😳! Good luck today hanging your work and enjoy the weekend. 😊
