I learned so much from this!

Hey friends... Following on from last month when I said I needed to be more 'strategic' with my personal monthly art challenges, and this might have been my best month so far.
Not because of the artwork I created - I didn't create much 'art' as I also left my palette behind when I went to the UK - but what I did learn from it will inform my art practice moving forwards.
I hope you enjoy this video looking back at my learnings from my June art practice. If you have any questions, please do ask away in the comments!
Big hugs,
Eve

Your openness and enthusiasm always makes me so happy! I love how you explain what you have learned.

[@EveAshford]

Ah thank you so much Adrienne! 😘 Always happy to share if it helps others!

[@onestrauss3066]

Oohhh. Thanks for sharing your June challenge. I actually have the book but haven’t got round to properly read it yet. Which is why I love your way of using it as a monthly challenge to really immerse yourself and actually work alongside the author. Much better way to embed what you learn. I’m definitely going to go through the book the same way. Thanks so much!

[@EveAshford]

Ah, you're very welcome - glad that it has inspired you to do similar, we learn so much more from taking time to understand...

[@msfrehel8758]

This is so inspiring, thank you so much!

[@EveAshford]

You're very welcome! 😘

I got the book in the mail today after seeing you use it I had to find it found it at good price second hand. This is why I love your channel and appreciate you

[@EveAshford]

Oh yay! I hope you enjoy it, it’s such a great book! 😍

[@user-gl6dg8ho3j]

Love that you describe your learning process, and your thinking during that process. It is much like I do things - switching between being a bit haphazard/experimenting, and by doing things in a well organized way.

[@EveAshford]

Thank you - great to meet someone else with a similar way of doing things! 😘

[@Artsyjen02]

You’re getting there😉progress🎉 well done, keep going⭐️

thank you... slow and steady wins the race right? 😘

This was a brilliant tutorial. Mainly, I enjoyed how you can take a book and make from it a lesson and a process for learning and expanding. I appreciate how you are able to create such solid content for yourself. It was delightful to watch your process. I realize I don't swatch enough and play with colour enough. So maybe my AUGUST Challenge will be just SWATCHING! Thanks again for a delightful cogent presentation.

[@Replicanna-rl6zg]

That was an interesting watch. Immediatly tried the winsor blue, rose madder and hanza yellow mix, because they warm grey is soooo pretty! (it worked, of course) Thank you!

[@EveAshford]

Oh, very chuffed that it immediately inspired you! The grays are just so beautiful! 😘

[@majonkie]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience of working through this book, it’s pecisely what I need! Luckily, it is still available, so I just ordered mine. Can’t wait to get stuck in 😃

[@EveAshford]

Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful! Would love to hear how you get on with it too! 😍

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

What an awesome thing for me to watch this and find out that Veridian PG 18 is considered a true and transparent green by someone other than myself. I love the work that you've done I will definitely have to look into this book. Thank you so much please continue on your journey you're really an amazing artist😊

[@oliviajones4588]

I always pick up this book and feel like it's way over my head 😅 I think taking bit by bit as you have done is wise

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, so many incredible tips ☺☺

[@EveAshford]

Thanks Chantelle! 😍

[@loramay21]

I have just bought this book but I will be using maimeri blu watercolours as they are all single pigments and my favourite one's apart from my A Gallo watercolours. I will start working my way through it

[@jackielubeck]

Hi Evie - very interesting... very nice.

[@EveAshford]

Thanks Jackie! 😎

[@KilbyDelaney-jt1kw]

What an educational challenge month you had! So many colours to create.

[@EveAshford]

Thanks Kilby! It was rather 🤯 for me! 🤣

Sorry about the second comment. As a piece of information for you Quinn burnt orange is a well-known mix with ultramarine that was used by a very well-known artist who passed away at least several years ago. I wish that I could remember her name right now but I can't. I would however utilize the Quinn burnt orange and add the Italian burnt sienna it's different than the regular burnt sienna and it granulate as well❤ add someone who thinks that a alizarin Crimson is one of the most beautiful colors in existence I can honestly tell you that Daniel Smith's a Lutheran Crimson is much more luminous and true to the actual hue alizarin crimson. Although I have heard rave reviews about the M Graham a alizarin Crimson and I'm really hoping to get it as well as the Sennellier
