Making It Simple: Using the Elements With the Principles

Hi everyone! Welcome to the finale of the Making it Simple series. I had a great time making these videos and I hope you enjoyed them too.
In this week's video we're going to put it all together and take a look at how the elements and principles of design come together, how you can use them in your paintings, and how the masters use them in their work.
As always, if you have any questions, topics you'd like me to discuss, ideas for future series, or anything else, please reach out or leave them in the comments below. Don't forget to like and subscribe and ring the bell to be notified whenever I post a new video.
Hugs,
Gwen

I think a demo using the principles you have been covering in this series would be a great way to help tie everything together....visually. Thanks for the series, it has been most informative.

Love this video Gwen. I love how you displayed abstract work of artists to demonstrate principal and elements❤

[@ellenvd5543]

Thanks very much Gwen for sharing and showing examples! If possible, could you do a video where you paint yourself all the examples? (or some :))

[@GwenFoxArtist]

Ellen....I think your suggestion is very good and I will put that on my list of topics for future videos....

[@patyaartpatriciaarseneau9122]

it great it full of important informations Thank you for your générosité MERCI

[@GwenFoxArtist]

Thanks for letting me know...

[@majie9717]

Great video! Love the examples/illustrations you choose. Thank you. Ideas of possible future videos: the use of negative space in abstract,the exception as a focus, transparent/opaque, the unity between quiet and busy….🎉

[@GwenFoxArtist]

Thank you so much Majie for these suggestions.....they are great suggestions.

[@kathleencotton7374]

Thank you Gwen!❤

[@joanhughes8211]

Thank you for this video, Gwen. A suggestion for a video might be paintings that AREN'T working, where you make the necessary change(s) to illustrate the transformation of the painting. You could do this for each of the elements that you described in this video. (I would be happy to donate a painting or more to such a video. 🙂)

[@GwenFoxArtist]

Joan....what a great idea....thank you.

[@janhannah9444]

Yes haha I’ve got a suggestion…would you please give critique on all elements you’ve been discussing with a painting I am struggling with?

[@GwenFoxArtist]

Send me your painting and let's see how it goes...

[@janhannah9444]

Well that’s the most exciting thing that’s happened to me all week. Now I have to take a picture and get it to you

[@janhannah9444]

@@GwenFoxArtist I can’t figure out how to attach a picture of my painting
