Thank you so much 😀 Happy to hear it inspired you!

[@sherelynwhite4130]

Thanks Patt.❤ I found your channel recently and have been binge watching you. I've created a colorful background just yesterday and plan to do the process that you share of blocking out the background, and leaving colorful silhouettes. Wish me luck and many thanks for your very informative and interesting videos!❤

You are so welcome! Have fun with it!

Very creative!

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@willeminadejager3238]

Thank you, Patti. One question: do you prepare your canvas with gesso?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Sometimes it depends on the quality of canvas. I buy Artist quality canvas which are pre primed but if I want a brighter less toothy canvas then I gesso.

[@suzannegagne8692]

Love it! I must try this

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Go for it!

[@CatsArtAndRubberDucks]

Das ist ja cool!

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks so much!

[@bellaeusebio849]

Patt, what is that white paint that you are using to cover some intermittent colors on the background?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

I use titanium white or a tint made with titanium and a colour. If you want more translucent white to let some colour show through Zinc white would be the choice.

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

What a beautiful painting, and thank you for talking us through the proces. I wonder...what made you decide to take away the red accent on the left below? You loved it, so did I, but you must have had a reason. Just curious...thanks Patt!

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you so much! I let the red go to straighten the line.

[@josephtomash4586]

I love your art much but I am realistic artist and it is difficult to get off .So what to do?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thanks! I think you just have to go for it without expecting results and allow yourself to play.

[@SilasBeau123]

I noticed you did not frame your pictures in this group. Do you frame only a few and leave that up to the buyer? Do you have any info with price points both framed and not frames? Thank you so much!

[@pattscrivenerartist]

I do not frame my larger paintings as most of them go to galleries and I would have to mark it up to cover the gallery commission of 50% some galleries have framing also so it makes it better for them. Another reason is that frames get shop worn and need to be replaced. I use a square inch pricing model on a sliding scale.

[@lorrainebird3992]

At 81 I am learning so much from you ( I am in Australia by the way ) But can I ask do you let your canvas dry after the first layer?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Yes totally dry before I carry on -you would definitely get muddy colours otherwise.

[@deannfrey3469]

What do you paint on? Paper, panel, canvas?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

This painting is on canvas but I also,paint acrylics on Strathmore Mixed media paper.

[@dianevouglitois8416]

Is there a tool to paint an area of dots

[@pattscrivenerartist]

I put a link to a sponge stamp set In the description

[@reblord5544]

Like a stencil?

[@pattscrivenerartist]
