[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks! I will be making more papers this week with new mark making tools.😊

[@dawndail]

Thank you for your videos! I really appreciate how you talk about the work and not about your cat or kids like so many of these videos do, it makes me want to watch every minute, I also love how you say what your materials are. simplicity is so appealing and it really inspires me to try whatever your trying. I subscribed as soon as i heard your voice and straight forward style.

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you for watching and commenting! My goal is simplicity and the journey it takes to get there. Part 3 coming next Sunday!

[@eka9916]

What a great sharing! Awesome. Looking forward to see more 🙂

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you! Making another video right now!

[@cherylb9956]

I am very very new to anything creative what you would consider artistic, I really love this video so much it’s so relaxing and also very helpful in all of the tips, thank you so much

[@micheleholdenart]

So glad to help! Thanks for watching!

[@LeighPogue]

I loved watching you work as you explained your thought process. Very fun and relaxing too. Beautiful series. I had to subscribe!

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you so much!🙏🏼

[@joannewilliams7251]

I'm also happy to have found you. I was watching another person with similar techniques however your voice is calming and grounding which I need being a double Libran with a Sagitarian moon sign. I'm often floating off into the ethers. I've been collecting corrugated cardboard and was going to use it stuck down in my collage but didn't think of it as a stencil as well.

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks. I also love to collect packaging materials for mark making.

[@claragoh3895]

Love your work. :)) Have a Merry Christmas.

[@evypetre949]

Thank you! This really spoke to me. ❤️❤️❤️

[@mohammadtawfiqlifestylelim7051]

Very nice, simplistic yet wonderful

[@helenwiegand4798]

I am a figurative painter and looking to Shake it up a bit Thank uuuuu for your approach to your wonderful work….

[@micheleholdenart]

I use to be a landscape painter. I always loved abstract. It required starting over. It was worth it.

[@yanghyunart]

your work inspires a lot, thank you❣️✨🦋

[@marydodson5265]

Wonderful Video! I'm new at this. A lot of great ideas! Thank you!

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks for watching! Great that you are here!

[@judilynn9569]

Truth…the brayer clean off paper makes the greatest color blends. :)

[@micheleholdenart]

So true!

[@sashadawnn1720]

Really like what you do with a limited color palette. My last painting I used 13 colors and sent my head spinning. Thanks for this inspiration.

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks! I recently watched this one and like the simplicity but now I understand why it works. This makes a difference.

[@suemarkwald159]

I really enjoyed seeing your process. I plan on trying out some of your techniques with some recent collage pieces that I made.😊

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you! It is wonderful to see how many are creating along with me. I also have a Facebook group for those wanting to share!

[@ChapmanGriffith]

Just found your channel. Love what you are doing and the instructions and insight you offer. I’m hoping you will do a demo of how you make your collage papers

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you for watching! I am gathering my materials to make some more collage papers for my newest series. I will be making video in the next one or so. Stay tuned!

[@mg-in7cg]

Just happened across your video by accident. Really well done. You described your process so well. Loved the finished art! Inspired me to go bolder with these lovely warm colors.

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks!So glad you found me! It’s a good practise to explore bolder colour combos!😊

[@Frugalpleasuresinretirement]

Awww, so glad coming across your channel. Beautiful tutorial!❤️Many thanks for sharing.

[@micheleholdenart]

[@C0de8ght]

lovely video! What kind of paper are you using?

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks! It’s a heavier printing paper

[@Karenfree2202]

Hi really enjoyed this. Can you give some more details of your substrate?

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks! Just heavy printing paper.

[@LavishHim]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎨🎨🎨

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you!

[@bevberthoty]

Thanks for posting this video. Your art is beautiful and your process is inspiring! Thanks for giving us so many details about your materials and process.

[@bevberthoty]

@@soulsearcher4truth303 Glad to hear it and look forward to watching them and reading your blog. Yes, I am subscribed!

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you so much! I will be doing another like this but with 4 squares.

[@bonniegarson80]

Very cool❣️Do you frame your collages?

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks for watching! Not yet but I am using my abstract designs for my art products. www.allmyartandsoul.co/shop

[@mayfieldrobin]

@@micheleholdenart I am really loving your work and what you are doing speaks to me and my approach to creativity. I am wondering if you have a list of art supplies that you use so that I could pick up a few things? I am a beginner despite my age, and want to begin by watching all of your videos while I journal my own way through.

[@Danushia101]

Thank you so very much for inspiring me . . . I've signed up to receive your emails!

[@micheleholdenart]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@rabbitgregory9289]

I found the video very useful. However, in forthcoming videos please position the written instructions so that they don’t obscure what you’re doing.

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you for you input.I will remember that.

[@jamillael-shafei4324]

Liked the video but had to strain to hear your soft voice

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks!

[@helenowen5006]

nice inspiring work, shame about the distracting music playing while you were talking

[@micheleholdenart]

Thank you so much!

[@avanellehansen4525]

Yes. I can't turn the three note music off as I want to hear her tutorial, but it wore a groove into my brain!

[@bonitaweinreich6876]

Enjoy watching your process, but the music is distracting and often overpowers your voice.

[@micheleholdenart]

Thsnk you for watching! I will keep this in mind for future videos.

[@xVentax]

Unfortunately, I totally agree. If an artist chooses to not speak, either directly or voiceover, then music is fine - I just mute it and watch. But, when you’re speaking, and explaining your thought processes, I’m really interested; I still have to mute you though because the music is fighting your lovely, soothing voice, and largely winning. Really fantastic pieces though, I love your colour & pattern choices - I just wish I knew what your ideas were behind them - the subtitles help to some extent though.

[@micheleholdenart]

@@xVentax Thank you for the comment. I will at least make sure the music is set to a lower volume so not to interrupt the narration.

[@ochervelvet9687]

I had the opposite reaction. I found the music lovely and soothing, and it never obscured the artist’s voice.

[@micheleholdenart]

It is always interesting to hear 👂 the different reactions to my videos.

[@daphnejennings6640]

You have a lovely soft voice but background music frquently drowns out what you are saying. It makes it frustrating to watch your video because it looks like you are offering so much.

[@micheleholdenart]

Thanks. My later videos have no music. You should check them out.

[@ritazita1111]

Yes---VERY ANNOYING!! And completely UN-necessary.

[@micheleholdenart]

You should check out my more recent videos where I have no music. Thanks for watching.

[@emmalouie1663]

"my works" sure looks a lot like scribbles

[@micheleholdenart]

It does at first. Just keep going. Try different alternating layers of marks in different areas of the substrate. Thin, thick, lighter, darker, sharp,soft, etc. This will begin a composition you did not even plan.

[@karlabritfeld7104]

Just way too much bright paint

[@micheleholdenart]

To each his /her own.
