Gorgeous! Love how these colors work together and the linework where the colors come together from the folding is beautiful.

Thanks so much Genny! :-)

I have been in a funk with my art for some time and I've just watched your video and I spent the whole time saying "oh my - that's beautiful". Seeing how gorgeous this turned out I am now subscribing to your channel and can't wait to try out some of this tecjnique. Scoop and fold - never heard of it. Thanks Manoli I think you have awakened my painting passion again. Well done!

[@manolimotion]

Hi Lynn! Thanks so much! :-) I completely understand, Ive gone through periods where I'm in that "funk" and sometimes it helps to just browse through videos to help with inspiration. Would love for you to try the "scoop and fold"! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions. I have a few other videos on this technique on my channel. :-)

Looks like a heart ❤

I see sunlight on a seaward flowing river. I'm quite surprised you didn't mention how awesome the gold is lol. Really nice end result. Wish us neighbours to the north could be included but get why. Thanks for the continued influence.

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Paul! It did cross my mind to mention the gold but its hard to see how awesome it really is on camera. And it dried beautifully as well. :-)

Thank you Lisa! :-)

BTW I'm in Australia so I'm definitely not entering your painting draw. Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your work.

[@JimmyJim2u]

Manoli the man! Love watching he sped up process with voiceover. In addition to scoop-folding side to side, have you ever done top to bottom in the same painting? Wondering what the effect might be.

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Jimmy! I have not tried doing it that way but what a great idea! i think I'll try that and than possibly do a video on it. :-)
