[@nataliesemmache1938]

Karen Campbell, Artist... I love Kenya... Can you do a sunset with a baobab tree??? Thank you.. In swahili #Asante sana#

[@csmutnick]

Karen Campbell, Artist Yes, it would be great to see a fox.

[@aliart7415]

Otter? Foxes are cool too

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Wrote them down, thank you!

[@GrumpetteJV]

Oooh.. A peacock! I'm thinking crazy blue, purple, Turquoise, emerald and gold!

[@deannbeasley3616]

I'm a cat person and love this project. I saw the picture in another video (in the hamburger series, I think) and it captured my heart. I was so excited to find that you made a video showing how you made the very project that I was already in love with. Thank you!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Cats are awesome, and I am so happy you found the video with this project, DeAnn!

[@eloracy7680]

Oh dear and wonderful Karen...where do I start?!? You are so lively, sincere, down to earth and full of excellent ideas!!!!!!! That's it! I got it!!! Your'e SOOO FLUFFYYY!!! I love having a teacher like you!!! The first piece I did was your fox...come on, it was just...calling me!!! Now I want to do your super cuuute cat fooosuuure!!! Since I watch your videos, I became way more liberal in my art. I remember your voice telling us to have fun and find our inner child while we create! You are amazing and I send you a GREAT BIG THANK YOU from Canada! Keep your creativity pumping girl ;). Carole

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Hi there, Carole!!! I loved reading your sweet comments, they totally made my day! Fluffy is awesome, thank you! And I love that you are feeling more free in your art, that's amazing! I'm so grateful to have you as a part of this wonderful art community!

[@LKCress]

Karen I would love to see your version of a big bright beautiful tigers. Both orange & white tigers. They would be gorgeous.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

That would be such a super fun project!

[@alysonfordperez7820]

That was soo cool, Karen! But then again, you ARE the cool mama, right? Right! I gotta figure out how to do that of my German shepherd!

[@eloracy7680]

Oh non...i forgot to ask you for an animal to paint !?! Okay well, I have grown attached to two little chipmunks coming in my yard since our extra wonderful, loving, and witty three legged poodle past away last october. Ouff...that was a mouth full!!! I have been feeding them since june 2020, I know...weird for some, but therapeutic for others!!! Could you, if you are still doing animals, do something with chipmunks? Okay now...crazy lady signing off! I thank you again for all you do for us, art lovers! Have a great day Karen. Carole from Canada ;)

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I'm so sorry to hear about your poodle! Pets are so very special and I know how much we love ours. I think feeding the animals in your yard is a lovely way to feel connected to nature and I'm sure your poodle would have approved. I will definitely consider painting chipmunks one day.

[@paulabrennan2607]

What a cool funky cat! Fab pose too! Ooo how about a giraffe 🦒 or an elephant 🐘 or maybe both 😂🙏🏼🤣😋😍 now that would be cool! Fabulous Mixed Media Monday’s girl! Thanks for sharing 👌🏼💖

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Bestest compliment ever?! Thank you so so much, I'm so glad you like the cat!!!

[@ladylake69]

This was so fun to watch!!!!! I used Stabilo for the first time today, (Fear Factor) as it's been just sitting there since I ordered it months ago!! I did a face with it! EEEK no erasing! I am so horrible at back grounds, so this was soooooo inspiring!!! As always thank you so much Karen for all you do and give of yourself, you have literally put me in a Happy Place when I had trouble finding my way back!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

OH BELINDA!!! I want to reach through my computer screen and give you a SQUEEZE!!! You say that you haven't been in your happy place but the work you have been churning out is UTTERY. A - MAZ - ING. You are inspiring ME along with so many others in the facebook group. Clearly we all just need to stick together! So is that a plan? Hells yes, then, that's decided. I'll see you back in class! 😘😘

[@maryannfarleyart2945]

OMG, I saw this on your wall and went in search of it on KZbin, hoping there would be a tutorial. Such a typical knucklehead cat pose! I love that you credit your inspiration, too, which every artist should do. I'm looking forward to doing this one! I just love doing animals...any animal at all...so it's dealer's choice, Karen! You do the tutorial, and I'll follow. :)

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Yes, I am a stickler for credit!!! Love this project too, so fun!

[@TracyLynn2744]

Omg I love this!! I'm a crazy cat lady! You make my day! Love your tee. Target is my jam! Love ya, girl. Keep up the great work. I see your subs going up and I'm so proud of you and what you're accomplishing! Glad to say I've been here a long time! Enjoy. You deserve it!! 💕💜💕

Welllllll my friend, having friends like you who have my back so consistently and leave me the MOST LOVELY notes each and every time is what makes all my hard work WORTH IT!!! So thank you SOOOOO much!!

[@reneeperez817]

Beautiful project! Love your videos, they always make me feel inspired to paint but also jealous that I can’t draw. Lol

[@kimlivengood5916]

So cute, Karen. That was a good"pick me up" painting. My boyfriend & I have decided we would like to see you paint a koala. I like how the cat was being silly. Love when animals are goofy. Thanks for sharing. Catch ya on the flip.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

AW!!!!! A Koala is a SUPER CUTE idea!!! Writing this down now!!!

[@marshagonsalves2810]

You crack me up! : )

😘😘😘😘

[@brandythompson6544]

I absolutely love cats!!! And this one rocks!!!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you so so much, Brandy!!!

[@TimetoStamp]

Loooove It♥️ because I do have a Cat, I do loooove round things, so the round canvas ans the round shap of the cats Tail ♥️♥️♥️♥️ and always loving your "just doing It"style (with the fingers 🤗) Mixed Media Art. I adore owls; so a groovy, vintage, shabby owl would be amazing. On the other hand my 9 year old son loves Chamäleon. And I'm pretty sure you would have the greatest idea of how to draw a Chamäleon. Happy painting 🎨

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I think that owl sounds PERFECT!!! And perfect for fall too!! Thanks for the inspiration (writing down owl and chameleon in my ideas book now!!)

[@ellyettepaige]

I have an obsession with owls first and foremost. But other favourite animals of mine include giraffes, sea turtles, octopuses, and seahorses. So I'd be thrilled to see any of those done! For some reason I can picture you doing a quirky, goofy giraffe though lol. This piece came out super cute! Loved it! x

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

OOoh!!!! I LOVE OWLS too!!!!!! Perfect for fall! Keep your eyes posted for that soon!! THANK YOU! (nice profile pic ☺)

[@ellyettepaige]

Karen Campbell, Artist Oooh yay! I shall definitely keep an eye out! And thank you! I couldn't resist using him lol. x

[@patriciabarry5921]

Hey Karen, great video, thank you How about a wolf please?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I am making a master list of all these animals, consider it added to the list! Great idea, thanks!

[@staceybrister]

Oh gosh, I'm trying to do a cat mixed media project today, as I mentioned today :-) I'm so excited! Watching now...

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

OMG SO FUN!!! You better share it!!!!!

[@staceybrister]

Hi Karen :-) I promise I will share! It's the next "day" for me. I had a sleep, and I'm gathering up motivation, or whatever it's gonna take for me to do this... I generally am so happy with anything I draw or paint, even if it's not actually "good" art. I don't know...I feel sort of paralyzed, until I actually get going on something. Maybe once I stick some stuff I'll start feeling the fun, and go with it. I wish I didn't have to force myself to try to create something artsy; it seems so ridiculous...maybe it is some form of self-sabotage. But, this night, I 'am' going to make this happen, 'before' I'm too tired and need a rest. I spend forever getting ready, or getting ready to get ready to do something...hahaha! I'm gonna watch some more of your completely awesome videos now. Thank you for your support, and for EVERYTHING :-) Much Love Wishes for you

[@quinntian7408]

can u do a bernese mountain dog?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

That would be super fun!

[@ArtJournalJunkie]

Precious! And my kitties understood everything you ba ba bapped In kitty lingo at the end of the video. How do I know? They told me!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

hahahahahahaha!!!! RIGHT?!?!

[@barbaras.7135]

Really Cool. Would you like to paint a beagle? Thank you.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Aw, that would be super cute!! It's on the list!

[@Ashleeta777]

Do the bombay inks stay in place when dry? I really want to get a set.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Yes, I LOVE them!!

[@patriciaizsak5993]

How did you get the white Sharpie to "sprinkle" paint like that?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Shakes vigorously!!! Lol!

[@marinazanotta]

I love this project! Love, love, love 😍 😍 😍 I've never seen a round canvas. Wow! Is fantastic 😊 This reference I know, because is on my board on Pinterest too 😃😃😃 Great painting fingers 😂 😂 😂 I have a question: Is it ok if I use the glue to transfer the images (foto transfer Potch)? I do not have the mod podge, and I can’t buy now! 😔 Is it a good alternative? what do you think about it? Marina

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Umm....I am the WORST for image transfers so I am not sure. I only like to do them with Encaustics!!! GAaah!! Can you trace, draw or paint it so you don't have to transfer the image?

[@marinazanotta]

I do not want to transfer any images 😃 Potch is the only product that has remained at home 😂 😂 😂 My idea is to use the potch instead of the mod podge in mix media work! I will do the experiment and then I will let you know. I can always draw cats with colored pencils or watercolors 😉 Thanks anyway. Marina

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Marina Zanotta I'm such a dumbass! I'm sorry I misunderstood what you were asking!! Yes, the Stabilo will activate with literally anything wet. Let me know how it goes!!!

[@staceybrister]

Oooh Karen, I don't know if you've already done one, but I didn't see one in your video list. What about a giraffe? I just know you can come up with something awesome with a giraffe, with that long gorgeous neck... right? What do you think? :-)

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I'm on it!!!!

[@staceybrister]

Yay!!! And guess what...well, I am doing it!!! I painted a cat in your retro kitty style, and made her a collar with rhinestones, and a chain for a leash....I am hoping to share it today :-) Thank you so much, Karen, for inspiring me! Trust me when I say, I have been stuck, and you are helping me so much

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

staceybrister I'll take a virtual hug ALL DAY LONG!!!! So glad the videos are giving you a kick in the creative butt! Looking forward to see your creation in the group!!! ❤❤❤
