Everyone who wants to try this art form needs to watch this video first! I wish I would have found this earlier. Thank you for your articulate quiet teaching style. No music to distract!

[@aschane1]

Really enjoyed your thought process of adding and subtracting to create such a rich feel of texture. So inspiring.

[@shoshronis7044]

I LOVE LOVE YOUR ART AND THE WAY OF TEACHING. IT MAKES ME SO INSPIRED. THANK YOU SHOSH

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

The final painting still change so much! And came out very beautiful. This just shows how difficult and long the final workings of a successful painting can be. Thank you for showing this process

[@alisonwatt8570]

you are right Brigitte--the final stages can really change a piece--that's when I always make sure that the composition and especially the values are working.

[@helenfogarty9934]

Another fabulous video Alison….. I have learnt so much….. many thanks 😊

[@mariakapatos9545]

I so love this how you have brought this all together in abstract painting of such harmony in the Color’s completed.🌹

[@morningdewgarden7432]

I liked the red! You aren't finished yet so I don't know what you'll do, but I kept thinking of Iron oxide. I love earthy rusts, reds and blacks w/ off whites, greys, etc. Yes! That is gorgeous!! Love the finished piece!

[@stevenjohnson4656]

Very enjoyable and educational, thank you. Please keep producing these type of videos. I very much enjoy watching how you build your layers and end up with a fantastic piece of art.

[@alisonwatt8570]

[@alisonwatt8570]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@robertwebber8672]

A master class! Worth watching again and again. looks like in the final image much more has happened. For me you have created a magical landscape. Moorish somehow! Best R

[@alisonwatt8570]

“Verticality” , love that word. Enjoyed watching this evolve.

[@kristiinasakai9957]

OMG I have just found you! This is magical! Thanks so very much!

[@alisonwatt8570]

you are welcome!

[@KS-wr4vv]

I just stumbled on your channel and wow I am learning so much . I love how you paint then cover up paint and cover up . I’m enjoying watching all the different techniques I can’t wait to try the wax paper printing techniques it gives such a nice effect that u wouldn’t get by just painting the white straight on the painting. Can’t wait to get back to the video to see what else is up your sleeve!

[@scrapsimone]

Merci beaucoup 🌸🌸🌸

[@SusanMJB45]

Another excellent video. Thank you !!! This is my biggest struggle.... turning the beginnings of a painting with all of the activity all over...... into a finished painting. I find it so difficult to cover up my beautiful "decorations" to simplify and form a cohesive composition. Yes... I get very attached to my beautiful decorations.... sigh.

[@alisonwatt8570]

yes, always so hard to lose the parts we love

[@alisonwatt8570]

Hi Susan. You can find the finished painting on my Instagram feed alisonwatt.art

[@lesleynormanhartnell2070]

Blocking in for me is the hardest part; which area to block in and when to stop! It is so interesting to watch you and hear your thoughts. Thank you.

[@alisonwatt8570]

it's often challenging for me too!

[@sherylfranklin8088]

This piece looks very industrial to me. So interesting to see it develop ☺️

[@aniligeorge2516]

wow! wow! beautiful piece and great to watch you work!

[@debbiegarland7124]

Gosh, beautiful outcome.

[@alisonwatt8570]

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

[@toodle6418]

I know you may not be able to respond but I'll be glad if you do. I can't afford to get those daler rowney transparent inks so I'm trying to get my own. Can I use golden acrylic fluid with their flow improver to create sth like a wash in place of the acrylic ink you used? Thanks.

[@alisonwatt8570]

Yes, you can absolutely use the fluids for glazing--I just put up a new video on glazing

[@CQGCreative]

What is the name of the masking fluid? Couldn’t really see the bottle or understand what you said. ☺️. Thank you for sharing!

[@alisonwatt8570]

Pebeo Drawing Gum

[@susanbarry8624]

Is there a video of you finishing this piece?

[@alisonwatt8570]

Hi Susan there isn't; all I can say is I did more of the same kind of work for another couple of hours.....until I got the right feel. I introduced stronger colour and value range.

[@rayemartineau8644]

💗👍👀 1 /25/22 Thank you for sharing

[@leilaskye8143]

I love antelope brown......

[@barbaramozzer]

what kind of paper do you use as suport?

[@alisonwatt8570]

I use gessoed 140 lb watercolour or mixed media paper. I glue with acrylic medium.

[@marypartridge5154]

I've tried this and it is not easy. Often less is more and I think sometimes it can look a bit fussy.

[@alisonwatt8570]

Yes--so hard to find ways to simplify. I'm really working on that these days: painting out, making quiet areas....

[@rodolfolarrea8493]

better than watch the Olympic Games

[@gillgriffiths3188]

Brilliant video! Are you on Instagram Alison?
