Mixed Media Art Canvas - Steampunk Dragonflies

[@sherifisher4209]

I absolutely love this piece. I do have a question: why bother pasting the clock deli papers on the canvas when you wind up covering them all up with other materials. In the end I could not see them very well.

[@tbarr3414]

Sheri Fisher - i was gonna ask the same thing. normally i guess if you havent firmly decided what is going where... you'd put them on incase you decided to put less or change where tje dragonflies were going. In "this" case, becuz it was for KZbin im pretty sure she already knew. So i wondered the same

[@serpisorveninos]

I suppose its for special shading, if it makes sense

[@dragonfae6197]

It's about building layers of texture. You can still see them in the finished project in the top corners and I think it adds to the overall design. Really love this piece!

[@sheelathackorbhaga7871]

To give it depth?

[@InterestingEmma]

Wow. I'm so lucky this video popped up when I was searching for something else. First, when I saw 12 min I groaned because so many videos are 10 min of hearing about someone's kids, etc. But this blew me away. I love dragonflies, I'm an artist on the inside but haven't been able to actually create anything very imaginative. This video was like 50 art lessons in one. I really appreciate the closeups of the detail in your techniques, the sharing of the products you used, etc. I especially liked the layering of the different techniques - each one seems to add a subtle depth and complexity. And i bet in person that is a piece that one could look at from different angles and see many different things. And the creativity -- I could watch this over and over. Thanks for creating such a beautiful piece and taking the time to share with everyone.

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@jolie3548]

Stunning how Beautiful it All turned out Thank You for Sharing with All of Us

[@justinalikesdrawing6161]

See? This is what I am talking about! To be an amazing artist, you don't need to be good at drawing, just have the right materials and creativity! This is really something you should proud of! Well done!

[@jeanniedreemer1944]

Pretty amazing! I love Dragonflies!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much :-)

[@vickyneville4456]

Click bait said theyr butterflies

[@hazeleve8379]

Every few minutes I think "this can't get any better" then you add another layer of awesome. This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. You are a true credit to humanity.

[@annsilvertooth1366]

Great artwork. I really appreciate your presentation. There is no boring chit chat. You show us the products used and the techniques. It was a pleasure to watch!

[@horses2by]

Beautiful piece, beautiful colours 🤩

[@BethSchuler]

Love love this, each layer peaks the wall the way to the end. It's pieces like this that makes me want to do them over and over again. Nothing but total eye candy. Thanks for sharing this, it never get old. ❤️👍🎨🖌 my imagination is going crazy in finding subitutes in my art room. 😻

[@artfulevidence]

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching :-)

[@chiemelieumeh9013]

Thank you so much for this video!!! You have no idea what you ve done for me!! No idea!!!!!

[@lisawaitt7086]

I can't wait to try this technique out. I love the colors and everything about this picture!

[@TRUWORXofART]

Very out of the box, love the creative fun that went into this piece....

[@arisuyoshida6518]

What a beautiful concept, and flawlessly executed too!

[@luannfischer747]

You may have done this 11 years ago, but it is timeless!

[@izyan120]

Just goes to show that art is limitless.

[@jacquelinedavisart]

Lovely. Thanks for all the great ideas and for sharing which products you used throughout.

[@artfulevidence]

You're welcome :-)

[@ByondTime]

Very cool! If I may make a suggestion: when you do close-ups as you're holding the project, perhaps move it slower. I found it a little hard to focus and take in the details with you moving it around so much, and I'd really love to see your art up close! :)

[@SchoolofYule]

Pirate music and mechanical dragonflies -an unusual combination! It's a pleasure to see the layers being gradually built up.

[@imacrapschick]

As an adult and seeing it thru my eyes...I loved the painting before you added the lines.....idk why...LOL I just loved it without those lines.....it seemed too busy after that. Still, its pretty to me. So creative!!!!!

[@djellis2]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video - thanks so much for making it, showing the products up close, and revealing each step up close as you go along!

[@artfulevidence]

You're welcome :-)

[@anonymouslyhappy4537]

Gorgeous. ..... If possible please list the name of the material used in the comment. Thank you

Thank You :-)

[@helenkelly1051]

very beautiful art

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@jsm1062]

Beautiful result. Lot of patience needed for executing such type of creative work.

[@hamstergirl4444]

Yup - we don't need no stinking brushes!! :) I love a project where you really DO get your hands dirty....that is a lovely piece of art! I liked how you used the transparent paper with your stamped image on it - sometimes I'll emboss mine with a textured embossing powder.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you. Glad you liked it :-)

[@rapheeka3991]

This is absolutely beautiful and very creative too!Love the colours and especially the golden touches.

[@susandruce5451]

[@juliemurrayart7882]

This is a beautifully creative video. I would love to try this technique on a large scale. Thanks for sharing!

[@gillianbc]

I really like it. Beautiful depth. The end result is worth all the layers.

[@PandaRavenstorm]

Wow! This is absolutely amazing! You're a total inspiration! :)

[@artfulevidence]

+Sir Ravenstorm Thank you :-)

[@jenniferhutsell651]

I had forgotten all about polymer clay until I watched this video. What a great war to make mixed media 3D. As a previous commenter said...You fascinate me!

This is awesome! Girl you got some jazz going on in your hands!

[@rosaerivas395]

Why cover the background? I learned about a lot of products. Thank you!

[@msarendstunes9292]

I noticed that too; you can see only little suggestions of the gears on the tissue. But that gives it great depth; as you look, you see more and more. Makes it more art-y and less a crafts project.

[@vickyneville4456]

Why wastetime and money on the background to cover it up

[@ninacohen5401]

It's called 'subtle-ty'. And 'repeating parterns'. 'Depth'. And 'fine art', vs 'craft'

[@Tatiluna3]

How gorgeous. So soothing to watch this work of art. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@lillianrea7745]

i love the abstract of this its a amzing and the colors work so well XD

[@rukhmanikumar5659]

Love the last bit what you did with a dropper. Super. I did similar work on a bottle with glue but nowhere near you. Yours is absolutely beautiful. Awesome

[@kukuemily1403]

truly enjoyed watching this!!! beautiful art and ideas!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@scrapluvindona]

I'm a big steampunk fan and absolutely love this!! Amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

That's beautiful! I love the colors and dragonflies.

[@cfrandre8319]

Very much enjoyed seeing your process of creating, your thoughts as you worked, so to speak. Absolutely lovely piece!

[@bellgallery]

Very nice work! Thanks for video.

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you :-)

[@yeshwanthiramkumar5516]

Beautiful and haunting. Nice music too.

[@MultiLola01]

Thank you for sharing every detail of your creation. What an amazing artist. I am inspired.

[@artfulevidence]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@bonniefleur1085]

So beautiful! Was a shame to see your Etsy shop is empty Xx

[@RisslerDark]

+Bonnie Fleur agree

[@carolinebellis9018]

I don’t know if you still look at this but it was beautiful. I loved the layering, the different products used and the final outcome. Quite the adventure and a beautiful piece of work to finish with. Thank you for sharing.

[@leanhquoc3109]

why there're so many dislikes, this is so nice

[@artfulevidence]

+Le Anh Quoc Thanks :-)

[@ingridmulder4984]

Le Anh Quoc that are people who don't understand art and craft. But when you can make such beautiful arts than you are gifted. Love it!!!!!

[@juliesczesny90]

Nothing to do with the technique. It's the lack of using a say, sand for the original background, then layering for depth. Just when I thought, "Ah! Doing it here with gold gears on the wings, with red or orange highlights!" A+ in originality, C in use of color theory.

[@rojustro5346]

Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking!

[@andreatgrowwithme6901]

Reminds me of my grandpa and grandma. He was a spy that owned a clock workshop, and she was russian much younger than him they had great chemistry and love for eachother... Rip

[@SantaWessels]

Wow .... I really enjoyed watching your creativity. Lovely!

[@bandamlouji4755]

truly amazing and very informative, especially the materials used and how to use them ..

[@neeners4160]

This video was the first mixed media I ever saw that started my scrap booking career. Thank you for inspiration...

[@Jojohonig]

Wow such a beautiful piece of art! I like doing mixed media art myself, but I've ran out of inspiration! Would you have any tips for inspiration? Thank you

[@peggydavis9769]

have been sewing quilts which I am not too great at; this type of art has always been my strong suit - being creative ~ where mistakes can be made into the piece of art; so thankful to have found this / love your tutorials

[@marionward7115]

Beautiful work! It seems you are having to answer a lot of "product" questions. Sometimes 3 or 4 times over. Why not list the items up front that are used and save yourself answering the same questions over and over again? I would love to see such a list at the beginning and the end of each tutorial. Keep up the great work!

[@gottasayit9044]

Doesn't like sharing.

This is beautiful. The fact that he can just envision that and put it on a canvas and re-create reality like that is just fascinating. I've spent my whole life trying to be unique and I can never be more unique than this guy. So beautiful, so detailed, so perfect.

HI Rach........... i decided to sit down and rewatch this video over coffee this morning... Just love it as much as the first time... the music and everything... Sure do miss you around KZbin... Your artistic and imaginative presence is much needed theses days... Hugs! deb

[@googalsalot]

I absolutely love this piece of art & the process to create it. Maybe 5 or 6 years ago I first came across it & its still popping up & I'm watching it again. It has to be my favourite crafting video on KZbin. Thank you Rach0113

[@pamwilson7462]

Another masterpiece! The colors are so rich and enchanting. Thank you for sharing.

Wow I am loving this....always looking for more ideas for my art. Thanks for the video.

[@GTNana2]

I've watched this now about 3 times. I get something useful after each viewing. Today, it was mixing the 'paint/ink' with glossy accents! Genius. Gotta try that. I'm going to do a steampunk canvas....soon. Like I tell my grandchildren: practice, practice, practice!
