Great Frida. And another woman of color, Blue. Great video. Thanks for the inspiration and free flowing creativity.

[@carolinagirlcreationz7049]

This is soooooooooooooo incredibly HELPFUL! I have this stencil too and only once used it but blegh on how it turned out. Definitely going to try some of your face stencils and stamps techniques. Great 3 part series! Would love to see more with modifying existing face stamps and stencils. Nice work man! :)

[@junesteuterman2818]

You make it look so easy, amazing!!!!

[@melwhitworth3077]

Wow. You brought her back nicely. You had me worried for a breath there. It certainly has me thinking.

[@tarrenyoung5990]

I know I'm just finding this video a year later, but I just wanted to let know that I ADORE that Alice cover! Thanks for showing us some different techniques. I am getting a Butterfly Effect book for my birthday and I was terrified to go with a blank canvas, but I'm not so terrified of the blank canvas anymore! Thank you!

[@bySusuko]

Great to flip the stencil for a front face! Thank you for inspireing!

[@lakenreich]

[@jessjtadesigns]

These vids really helped my broken wrist drama go away, so thanks James! The pink one is a fav of mine. Now I'm going to buy the white plain cover! I've got the three gal version and love it so🍭

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

tag me on instagram when you're finished, I'd love to share some love!!!

[@bymissellielouxox761]

You are seriously genius 🤓

[@carlottaholman9481]

Starting with Frida; excellent demo of the one stroke method on the flowers. You're right the mind fills in a lot of the detail that isn't actually there (hence why eye witness accounts are suspect). For the mermaid cover, that's not the first time I'm seen the stencil bump for shadowing, but I am surprised at how well it worked for the scales; I wouldn't have thought to use that technique with that stencil pattern. Now I'll need to go play with that idea, thanks. The Alice page, I really liked at the end your use of the blue paint marker to fill in the detail work on the vertical stripes, before that they were a bit flat and I was underwhelmed at that point, but it was a fine example of when you've said maybe we're not happy with our work because we stop at step 8 and the piece really would have been great if we'd gotten to step 10 or 11. As always, TFS

[@dr.amyanna9235]

[@scrapbookingdiva]

I love your art. It's amazing. You really motivate me to just play with color and different mediums.

[@rainbarber7657]

Fabulous! Your work is amazing as always. I love how you make it easy to follow and you provide wonderful tips for the drawing impaired like me....lol. TFS

[@cmphillips1968]

Dam your good, love watching these videos, thank you :)

[@suzk6569]

such great tips for different ways of using the stencils - I will have to put them on my wishlist (it is already longer than my arm haha)

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

If you want to go ALL out with pencils, hands down the BEST pencils on the planet are the Faber Castell Polychromos. They can be very pricey but they are HEAVEN, and I found mine on a MAJOR discount at a local art store. :D

[@bridgettedunagan2873]

Brilliant. Could you do some review of her new line and yummy art with the products. Luv to see your style with janes supplies.

[@carlottaholman9481]

Also, meant to say; if I had seen any of the covers in the series on a journal and been told they were sold in the store with the design already on them, I would have totally believed that. They all look absolutely fantastic!

[@maryramirez4221]

Superb to the 10th power J😊

[@jodigautschi7383]

Think you are a breath of fresh inspiration! I had stopped creating for a while and couldn't find my creative mojo, but you came up on my KZbin and now I can't stop! Thank you for being so real and uplifting. Just adore you

[@roxannedalrymple6862]

[@elenisartstuff]

Thank you, James, for these awesome tutorials! Love your art, so awesome and inspiring! 💕💕💕

[@Nancymarie410]

I just need to get daring with my colors.

[@cathycourtney8887]

i love this style of these. but kinda scary start with the all over pain at the start. bur i am going to try it, love

[@PatienceTandal]

😍😍😍😍

[@aubgypsy]

James, is the face stencil in the neutral/portrait colors set? Love these covers 😍😍😍 you have such a great way of describing what you're doing, thank you!!! ❤❤

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

I believe it is? I can't remember I unboxed it so long ago :/ Sorry Aubrey

[@aubgypsy]

James Burke, thats ok! 😁

[@HeidiLilley]

great great Frida, love the way you did the flip on the stencil. Can you tell what the crayola markers are please, somehow I must have missed that. These are awesome. Thanks.

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

They're Crayola fine line markers, for adult coloring. www.amazon.com/Crayola-Adult-Coloring-Markers-Great/dp/B01C64BASI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1504137590&sr=8-7&keywords=crayons+fine+line

[@lookupdownAni]

The Frida one is my favorite so far. I even love her red cheeks.

[@phyllisbowens1380]

James, thank you for sharing this technique. I have been so scared to decorate my notebook cover for awhile....I even applied gesso awhile ago. But, what you've shared has really inspired me to "take the plunge" and just do it! Thank you.

[@Picklesboothe57]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@janenemcanally1749]

Wow...wow...wow! From an Aussie from across the pond. :-)

[@jennyannart]

omg lmao oh the memories that one eyebrow brought back .....young school girls are so harsh sometimes, well back in the 70s they were I can tell you, I think Frida is the only one who can where it with pride :). Anyway Frida is very lovely I really do love your work and no I always enjoy listening to you :)

[@emm2636]

James, What kind of colored pencils do you use? I have oil based pencils than I can use Gamsol blending solution with. Not sure those would work well with water color paint.

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

I used Jane Davenport pencils in this, but typically I use Faber Castell Polychromos which are oil based. They will work, you might just not be able to melt them into the covers with the watercolour, or perhaps they will provide a resist?

[@emm2636]

James, I just got some new pencils and tested them out today. The Jane Davenport pencils do not blend with water, but are nice, and my oil based pencils do not either (just as I suspected). I also just received in the mail today Derwent Inktense pencils that are advertised as water color pencils, however it doesn't say that on the front of the package, but on the back it says "Apply rich, deep colour then wash out to create a pure and translucent ink-like effect" They must be used on water color paper though. Not much happened on card stock. Wow, the Derwent pencils are amazing! I got the package of 36 on Amazon at 60% off for $38. They sell at my local craft store for S119.99 You are so talented I would love to see what you do with them. I bought the paints with that face stencil. You make it look so easy. I'm going to practice a lot. Thank you for inspiring me. Cheers!

[@PotsOfJoy]

Silly question but doesn't crayon rub off?

[@magicalpatterns]

Do you plan your paintings? I’m learning

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

Beautiful

[@bridgettedunagan2873]

Yum. Yum. Yumm

[@CapricornQueen0108]

I’m sorry are you saying Montana

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

Yes Montana Acrylic paint markers :)

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Which product of Jane's has that face stencil in it? I can't find out how to get that stencil..anyone know or can help me?

[@ginnytalbot9125]

Twisted Artdesigns it's in the skin tones acrylic package

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Ginny Talbot Thank you!

[@anwarallie]

Could you use any watercolours?

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

I think you could, but you'd want them to be pretty pigmented. Also, they're more of a base when I use them so using more expensive watercolours might be a bit of a waste, but its totally dependent on what you're going for :)

[@anwarallie]

James Burke thank you. I love your work.

[@mother_at_law]

I *love* the sound of your voice so, yes, keep talking. :)

[@inkiwell]

Pretty Frida!

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

Amazing!
