I liked watching you use mixed media in your painting. The addition of the dog was a good one.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks for the dog approval!

❤your art. Live the colors combined with the papers showing through. The dog was a wonderful addition.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you so much 😀

Hello Pat, thank you again. I learned a lot today: Using Posca pens for some of the outlines as this way I can see how much clearer this is than chalk Not to let the colours do the work Check my values and make sure there is a balance when using high contrast colours and shapes. Using paper cut outs to test shapes and dimensions. Painting loose of course, but am having a problem with this! Loving the Golden liquid teal! It is such a joy to use. Transparent paint over opaque. Beautiful! Your balance of fluid and heavy body paints. Thanks a million for doing this ! You are the bees’ knees 🧡

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks Jennifer! Glad you learned so much!

Thanks, will do Adele!

Pat, I enjoy watching your painting videos very much. I tried my hand with abstract painting of three ladies. For my first try, I wasn’t terribly displeased. It’s hanging on my studio wall and I may go back into it and add some details after looking at it for a while. I appreciate how generous you are with your knowledge of painting abstractly. I love watching your process. Thank you for such creative, informative lessons❤️

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks so much!

[@kathythomas671]

Pat, your artwork is absolutely amazing and beautiful. What is the writing called that you do on your paintings and what’s the reason behind it for you? I do writing on my canvas’ before I paint. I didn’t know it had a name. 😊 I’ve never painted anything like these paintings I find it hard for me . Thank you for sharing. Here from Texas USA

[@pattscrivenerartist]

The writing is called asemic - it looks like writing but no legible words. I sometimes start my painting with journaling and then paint over most of it. The purpose is to add another element- it can tread as pattern or optical texture. I often write thoughts that come up while working n my painting but don’t necessarily want them to be legible.

[@DINAMARA1967]

Very inspiring! I am doing my first one in Sydney, Australia wondering if you define the composition with chalk before adding the collages

[@pattscrivenerartist]

You can do the collage either way. Sometimes I add collage in my initial layers are a surprise element and sometimes nearer the end as a more specific feature. Have fun!

[@user-mn5eh5ud4b]

what gives you the inspiration for these pieces? They're so interesting to look at and your work is incredible.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

It’s just my imagination in most cases. Occasionally I use photo references as a jumping off point.

[@Redcardinal30]

Very nice, thank you.

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@katykrebs9707]

Do you always use neutral colors for the background around the figures

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Yes generally I do. I find using a neutral makes the colours pop out!

[@TeresaBaileypolymath]

I use Golden acrylics (mostly). I need to get better at glazing. What medium do you use and how do you mix your glazing paint?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

I use either Golden airbrush medium or GAC 100 if I want to thin my paint. You can use glazing liquid if you want the paint to dry slow. If you use acrylic fluid paint and it is transparent I find it thin enough for glazing. Hope that helps.
