Mixing a colour palette. Part two of Drawing to Painting.

Mixing a less saturated colour palette gives me harmony ! This week in Part Two of Drawing to Painting, I experiment with colour. #colour #becreative #artist

I am sure u will have countless people who have told u this but i wanted to say it too: i have watched your videos for months and have been so struck that outside of your obvious talent u r so extremely giving and positive, conveying boundless and infectious enthusiasm for your art. years ago i did the Nick Wilton art 2 life course and many of your painting 'truths' resonate so loudly with me. I also admire your ability to laugh at yourself, to bravely show your failures as well as your successes. i PAINT AWAY quietly in my loft and never show to a soul! So congrats to you. Best R

Robert, heartfelt thanks for such lovely words, I can only say that this KZbin channel is, was, the biggest leap of faith for me ! I think it all comes down to enthusiasm - I held back on sharing and I hope that when the time is right you will show your work. Instagram terrified me but sound advice to treat it as a personal scrap book, helped me enormously ! Something to think about , maybe ? Thank you again and have a fantastic week 🥰

[@cat-annechats5362]

I have been binge watching your videos. I enjoy each one for so many reasons! This was a good one~

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you so much XX

An absolute cliffhanger, way more exciting than "The Perils of Pauline" (old time serial melodrama). Part III can't come soon enough. Meanwhile Kitchen Crotons have been pressed into service as models for my own experimental drawing, painting, collage. Mark making on a separate sheet of paper resolves inhibitions. Cut out and paste up on preliminary work. Paint over. Try again. "Perseverance is more important than talent". Such a good video! Many thanks.

FANTASTIC, so glad to know you are onboard. So true....Perseverance, Passion, Enthusiasm and a general 'letting go' !!! 🥰

[@KathyBrooksArt]

What a great video, I so enjoy hearing your thought process and seeing you work. Not normally a fan of music in background, but the soft guitar at 13:20 was so relaxing! So enjoyable to watch your videos, thank you!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Kathy, how lovely to open your messages and receive such kindness 🥰

[@sherrierichard2848]

That was fantastic!

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you very much!

[@karenturner-cf7vq]

I have watched part 1 and 2. Wasn't sure. But I like the process. I might have a go on a smaller scale. Thankyou

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Karen, if you got one small thing from it , that makes my day ! Thank you for watching and giving me feedback 🥰

[@ahmetuzuner5543]

Thank you....

[@PaulWalesArt]

Loving the process work you're doing Gaynor. Using the light grey to dull down some of the primary colours caused a light-bulb to go off in my head! It continually amazes me the things I forgot I knew - so I took that into my daily sketchbook piece and worked with it with a renewed sense of purpose. Keep well and I look forward to your next entry! 🥰

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello D C .......there is so much to forget !!!! I am really glad you like the process work, when I do it, I know I should do more of it 🥰

[@caryss16]

Great video, thanks a lot and happy new year 🍀🥳

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you Carys 🥰

[@kimfox8622]

I really enjoyed this video with the new format of less text on screen. Enjoyed your content. Thank you.

[@gaynorpattle]

Ahh thank you Kim....when I look at the early videos, I can now see there was way too much text !!!! I'm calming down😀

[@SimoneWhippArtist]

Happy New Year Gaynor! I really enjoyed watching your art process. The yellow gave a lovely pop of colour. I can almost feel your joy when you are painting and talking about painting! Have a lovely art filled week. 😊

[@gaynorpattle]

It is my happy place 🥰 Have a happy week

"it doesn't matter if you don't like it, because you can - you have so many good one liners 😆 As per, some much needed advice for me, to just DO IT and TRY IT, whatever IT is. Thank you 💌❣

[@gaynorpattle]

Just saying the words out loud helps !!!! 🥰

[@sharonalkenbrack2871]

Thank you so much, really enjoyed watching your process.

[@gaynorpattle]

Glad you liked it Sharon 🥰

[@triciabennetts6578]

Thankyou Gaynor ❤ Intuitive mark making is a stumbling block for me - it intimidates me - I seem to need structure, which I suppose is counter working intuitively - so stuck 🤷🏻‍♀️ Do you work completely intuitively when laying down ground layers? Like you, I like to recognise a little something in abstract art - a way into a painting I suppose - but also love the little surprises and places of interest that are thrown up from the abstraction process. I’m looking forward to watching the next step 😄

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Tricia, Yes completely random mark making at the start - just let go and have fun, nothing matters here because a lot of what you do will be covered at the next stage ! The hardest thing is to stop yourself from judging with your critical eye - give yourself permission to go wild. When you have enough of a ground down, you will respond to it.......try different things......put some structure over the chaos ! Give yourself the freedom to play - it's a good feeling 🥰

[@triciabennetts6578]

@@gaynorpattle 👍 Will give it a go 😄

[@gardeniainbloom812]

I learned a lot from this process (even the speedy gonzales section lol). When you're finished with the A2 what will you do with it?

[@gaynorpattle]

I am so pleased 😀 I will keep the A2 as useful reference material.....some parts talk to me more than others and I will try to repeat those going forward. 🥰

[@lulabelle33]

You refer to your tape as duck tape. Is it actually painters tape? Low tack artist masking tape? Seems to work very well over acrylic without damaging. I'd like to find that product or equivalent. In the extra wide you're using that's yellow

[@gaynorpattle]

Hi Lulabelle, I have a few rolls of yellow 'duck' tape which is low tack in various widths. I am sure the brand is duck and will check when I get home. I think it comes from The Range but I pick things up from all over ! I will check and let you know. It 's really good and I re-use several times! 🥰

[@janerogers5717]

It's frog tape...lol
