Love how the black background transformed and love the lone gull.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I was very happy with the results of the gull too Joan. I love black backgrounds.

[@ordinaryobserver897]

Thank you for explaining on gull. Oh my, I have been using seagull all my life 🤣

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@ordinaryobserver897 Almost everyone does. Lol

💕💕💕 love the way you take care of details, thank you so much for sharing.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Details sometimes make a big difference Aly. Love sharing with you.

[@LollyGaggler]

This is absolutely delightful! Adding this to my things to paint lessons 🥰 Thank you!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

So happy you liked this Lolly. Have fun with this painting! You will learn a lot about the highlighting! 💐

[@billgreen6263]

Beautiful Yovette! I'm definitely going to try this one. Thanks!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Well, I hope you have a really good time with this painting Bill. I sure did. 😊

Hi Yovette I love your painting especially your sea gull something totally different. I live in a town called Swindon in the UK and the nearest sea side town is 63 miles away and yet Swindon is inundated with these birds. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Lol, These birds are everywhere Clive. It's a bit strange that they call them seagulls. But I understand why. You take care to my friend, talk to you next time.

[@DenaTollefson]

Yovette I love the seagull you created with WMO! Your black toned canvas really made a dramatic scene- I love your bird's light feathers contrast with this dark. Yes, they love to steal food! Another gorgeous painting, Yovette my friend!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

You always give such nice comments Dena, thank you so much. Loved your last post on, is your art good enough! Happy art day dear.

[@DenaTollefson]

@@PaintingWithYovette Thank you Yovette!!!

[@KodiLove]

Great job! Nice to see a fellow left handed painter on KZbin.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Hi Sue and Rick. It is very true, there is not a lot of us left handed teachers out here on youtube. I am one of the lucky ones. Thank you for watching.

[@RickJBerubeArtStudio]

Great looking seagull! I like the effect you get from painting over a black canvas. Nice work!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Isn't painting on black fun Rick? I just love the effects. This was a good learning experience for me. Working on an even more difficult one now.

[@RickJBerubeArtStudio]

@@PaintingWithYovette I agree that it is a lot of fun and rewarding as far as making a striking background that really stands out full of contrast.

Hi Yovette 👋 good to see you back , i love this painting its cute however even with your tremendously exspert tutorial, my bird turned out like an overfed thanks giving Turkey on steroids 😂florals and animals are sooo hard for me i much prefer a mountain ⛰️ having said that i will give the gull another go ! And at last Yovette i have received the tube squeezer a great tip you gave many thanks for sharing it 👏 bless you and your sis 🇬🇧

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I totally love my tube squeezer Sylvia. I use it on a lot of things. I am happy that you like it too. Like you, I have a hard time with any kind of wildlife, and also flowers. It's just something that you just have to practice over and over. Happy early Mothers day dear. 💐🤗

[@sylvia2553]

@Painting With Yovette thank you YOVETTE and I will keep on practicing, and I get so many uses with the tube squeezer, toothpaste tube yealded! waste not want not lol looking forward to your next video, take care god bless 🇬🇧

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@sylvia2553 Thank you dear. 🤗

[@kathgarvey]

Glad I found your KZbin channel. Really enjoying watching your videos. I’m a very late starter at 72 with oils. I have purchased a set of Cobra WMO. You made me smile when you mentioned Sea Gull’s are really called Gulls , my darling late husband always corrected me when I called them sea gulls 😁💖. Thank you for sharing with us 💖

[@PaintingWithYovette]

It was my pleasure to share with you Kath, and I am glad you found my channel too. One is never to old to start painting, and 72 is perfect. You have a lot more patience than a younger person. Cobra is nice paint. I use that and Winsor and Newton WMO. I have a whole section of WMO paintings if you want to see more. Wishing you a warm welcome. 🌹 kzbin.info/aero/PLhGho3cOJqur5TMtlCvq5H042hdDcFLaX

When I try to put something free had it's either to big or to small. I usually find a pattern and trace it on LOL. Lovely painting. Very pretty.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Tracing is very acceptable Jana. It really takes some skill to do this free hand. I don't especially have, so I have to work at it. Luckily, with the oil paint, it's easy to change things around. But this was very fun to do. I had a good time.

[@RichardM1366]

Very good! Very New England.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

It was so much fun to paint Ridhard. We see them all over in Oregon.

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

Awesome painting...I'm painting around the eyes red. Where I live, on an island, their eyes are a beautiful red... so stricking

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I am so pleased that you like the painting Jeannie. I have seen the red around the eyes of some gulls. I hope your painting turns out wonderful. Happy holidays.

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

@@PaintingWithYovette Thank you. We have the Ring-billed gulls on the island. Many different gulls as you stated. Merry Christmas and happy painting in the New Year to come!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@JeannieMitchellMyers Thank you dear.

[@Dedgyblazer]

hey Yo, Could you please email me that wonderful painting on 0:16 top right corner? I really would love to see it up close

[@PaintingWithYovette]

That is a nice painting Dedgy. It was from a facebook friend, he posted a painting from where he lived, and I asked him if I could use to make my own painting. It turned out well. I will see what I can do.

[@SharonLeek-m4m]

Can’t see the right side of the canvas 19:57

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I'm sorry Sharon, I should have moved my camera over a little bit more. But I think you can still get the idea. 🌺
