I think the most valuable part of what you share is inspiring artists to have a ‘what if’ and ‘why not’ attitude. Trying new ideas fearlessly but thoughtfully and articulating your thought process so well. Thank you once again for inspiring and planting an excitement in me to get into my studio and create!

You have no idea how much I love mid century abstract art. Thank you for inspiring me to be creative. Much love and peace from London UK 🇬🇧 ❤

Refreshingly unique, thank you.

[@cynthiakammann7368]

I'm fascinated by this sweet and interesting painting. The colors, the shapes, the lines are all beautiful and truly brought together in the most subtle way- by the ever so thin and translucent veil of shimmery pewter. It could almost be said that if you didn't watch it being created you'd feel the cohesiveness without realizing the reason why. As usual, thanks for sharing your process and philosophy behind it.

[@suedanehy7839]

You have achieved a beautiful result with those layers!

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks so much!

[@kasianikonstantinou2684]

An excellent work and a good lesson for me Thanks for sharing

Worth the wait to the final layer, as usual. With each print you make you create another life. The cut away shapes are positive, which elicits a paradox in the mind.

[@tamaraantal1292]

Thank you for the ideas !!!!!

[@andrewhansen4179]

Love it! The last layer luscious

[@artwhisperer88]

thanks so much!

[@DrJones-nh4my]

I really like the new stencil format and the forms you cut out. This was a really cool idea. Love it.

[@millyfluidart7482]

Gorgeous result

[@superfly2449]

I like that you “solved” it, at last. That’s how I think about my own work, but usually solve my puzzles by throwing them in a closet. What I’m trying to say is: well done!, and inspirational and instructive.

[@artwhisperer88]

One of my favorite artists Jose Parla said art is a series of visual problems meant to be solved. Sometimes a good way to solve the problem is walking away for a while and coming back with fresh ideas. Thanks again for watching.

[@travellerontheway]

Very good outcome 👍

[@jackelinslack4400]

Stunning

[@carole2077]

Another nice print. I don’t know how you do it. So many surprises. Keeps me awake late to watch these being made! 🕯️

[@tamaraantal1292]

Great !!!!

[@lizday8140]

I loved the look of that cheat sheet with the cut-away shapes! You could do a lot with that, if you did that to one of your less successful prints and used it as your cheat sheet, being that it's on your good, sturdy paper. You would have very interesting cutouts from it, too, to collage onto other prints to make a triptych or even four complimentary prints or more, perhaps. If you backed the used cheat sheet with a nice solid background, the cutout shapes would pop and that would look nice! You could still have the "less successful" print on the front, even after using it as a cheat sheet if you place the print face-down on the plate when brayering on your paint. I doubt the paint would bleed too much to the front, with the thicker paper. I really should just start recording my practice ideas and putting them up on KZbin...so much easier to explain with film than in words!

[@artwhisperer88]

Hi Liz, thanks for planting an idea! I let the cheat sheet dry on a clothesline an it will come in handy as another source of color and shapes!

[@lfaggell]

Oh, that black tissue paper collage was a real eye-opener! I have some prints that are a lacking "that special something" and I think black collage would do the trick. This is one of your more complicated ones, demonstrating the spontaneity of your work. Every layer, thoughtfully considered and, of course, a stunning outcome. I was reminded of Miro with all the lines and the colours. Very nice work! Once again, thank you for your tips and instruction/teaching! Lisa

[@artwhisperer88]

Nice

Very beautiful result. Love the layers and transparency. Thank you for sharing.

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks so much!

[@RamoArt]

What a great find, inexpensive paper that fits the gel plate perfectly! After seeing you experiment with the Fabriano paper I wanted to tell you that Fabriano also has printmaking paper, it's called Rosapina. Beautiful thick cotton rag and it's less expnsive than the watercolor paper. Don't know how it compares to the other paper you've been using price wise.

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks for the tip!

[@outdoor_kat]

Masterpiece!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and magical process.

[@carolwunsch4546]

Fabulous! You are so clearly having so much fun with this one (not that it was ‘easy,’ necessarily). Love, love, love the last pewter layer. Stunning result. 👏

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Nowletbe]

Love this one and the printing over the collage!

[@marymeyer8185]

This is an amazing piece, and a number 8.

[@mariafitpatrick1001]

Great idea. Chine colle technique printing over collage. Beautiful print and the last layer ties it all together

[@artwhisperer88]

Thanks so much Maria!

[@magX6546]

Brilliant! You’ve managed to do a Kandinsky!

[@tamsonoverholtzer1080]

Thanks!

❤🎉thanks so much!

[@tamsonoverholtzer1080]

@@artwhisperer88 Love your work. Hope this helps a little bit! Thanks for sharing your talent! Merry Xmas!🎄🖌

[@TheDabshear]

I wonder if you could use freezer paper for the stencil? I will try it and let you know! Love this one! Thank you for sharing!

[@artwhisperer88]

Wax paper and deli paper work well also. The best ones for me are the folder dividers because I can use them over and over without damage after washing.

I am very new to this art work. I enjoy your lessons and results a lot. What type of makers do you use?

[@artwhisperer88]

I like Sharpie black pens (alcohol based) in different thickness, and Posca markers (acrylic based)

[@cathypainter7429]

Love this one !

[@silvergraniandhergrumpygno413]

Do you ever use any texture pastes on your final layers?

[@artwhisperer88]

no, not for prints.
