Fascinating to watch! Beautiful! So very grateful you do not have repeated canned music in the background LOL

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Your comment made me smile, I'm not a fan of canned music either.

[@Someoneoutthere67]

Stumbled across this this morning because I’ve been wanting to improve and enhance and learn Mark making better than what I’m utilizing it now. I love this demo. Thank you.

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Glad you enjoyed it, I’ll be adding more videos soon 😃

Just love how this came to life suddenly, thanks Louise 💕🎨

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

thank you

[@alisonlyons4691]

So glad this popped up. Recently I've been taking photos of old fallen trees that l love, and their root systems. Its amazing how they remain alive for so long, with so few roots underground. I feel some paintings and drawings in the making. Thanks for your mark making inspiration x😊

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Love old and skeletal winter trees, so inspiring! Enjoy channeling your creative ideas 😊

[@deborahneumann9162]

Reminds me of the science expo I just watched about how all trees and plants are connected underground through their root systems - communicate with each other. Your painting looks like that underground Life. LOVE IT! Respect.

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

That's fascinating Deborah! I was recently part of a group exhibition, the title of the exhibition was Rhizome which means connection through a root system. Nature is at the core of my creative soul - everything begins there.

[@deborahneumann9162]

@@louisebougourdartist6763 Well, your 'creative soul' is quite beautiful and produces MAGIC! Respect.

[@suzoo86]

This is stuff I have been using for years.

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

It’s great fun isn’t it?

[@anthonysbliss]

After the tape is removed! Nice

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

[@sueaberle935]

Beautiful

[@raelsolinho6404]

what type of art form is this? it is peeking my interest and this has a stunning result

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Thank you 😊 I’m using acrylic ink to create dynamic expressive marks.

[@marychristophi6688]

Wonderful beautiful 😍

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Thank you 😊

[@methatronn]

Great! The ink is permanent once dried, can add watercolors on top…

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

You can but it may sit on top of the ink rather than settle into the surface.

[@user-ni2os1bq7v]

beautiful work. Is that water yuo spray on the paper?

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Yes, just water it helps the paint/ink to flow.

[@dianeplenderleith7959]

Is that artist board you're working on? The effects are beautiful

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Thank you, it’s watercolour paper, 140lbs

[@igonima]

Beautiful!! Do you think this could be done using a plastic transparent sheet (polycarbonate) as a substrate?

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Worth a try! 😊

[@debbyhenning4868]

I just found your channel. What is the type of tape you used down the middle?

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Hello Debby, I use a cheap version of sellotape; it usually works well 😊

[@bonnasiffjensen2688]

What is the stof you put on the paper in the beginning.

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Hi Bonna, it is simply water to help materials move on the surface, it looks a little blue but I expect that is just the lighting. :)

[@alisonlyons4691]

I should imagine it's just water, l work in a similar way. Sometimes use dirty water.

[@alisonlyons4691]

Louise apologies if l intruded on your thread, l didnt see your reply 🤦‍♀️

[@estherlevy1485]

Si pretendes que esto sea un tutorial debe explicar lo q usas tambien

[@beatrizbaruque7749]

Can you explain the materials you are using?? Thank you

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Hi Beatriz, I'm using acrylic inks, sepia and black with water and different tools to paint such as a feather and a twig. :)

[@sueaberle935]

Do you stretch your paper first?

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

I generally stretch paper unless it is heavier in weight.

[@jodybaker2719]

What weight of paper are you using??

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

It was 140lb or 300g in more modern terms

[@jodybaker2719]

Thank you @@louisebougourdartist6763

[@carolmcbrideonline]

what are your ink colours/materials?

[@louisebougourdartist6763]

Hello Carol, I’m using FW acrylic ink, Payne’s grey and sepia - love the way sepia granulated when water reaches it!

[@carolmcbrideonline]

@@louisebougourdartist6763 it's a stunning piece.
