Playing with watercolour on book pages

[@TheSkuttt]

As a nonartist I am always blown away with how you just "smear" paint around and it comes out in a fantastic painting. You are so talented and I love watching your videos!

[@yamabudo3803]

I hope you get yourself some colors & just enjoy playing with them, circles, stripes, just have fun.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you very much!😊

[@patriciacook9194]

The mixture of watercolor with other media is fascinating and seems to encourage more creativity and freedom of expression. Thank you for sharing!

[@valariemagnus508]

I saw this video months ago. You inspired me to go out of the box and do black and white on my pictures ( notecards). Now that I’ve found you again I can see some similarities. But I owe it all to you!

[@darlenedonkin7077]

I love these mixed media compositions. You have given me lots of inspiration and I thank you for that!

[@debiblair1912]

I have the Prismacolor pencils too. I can’t stop adding them to everything right now. 😃 That piece is beautiful. Love what you did with the flowers!

[@monkey911t]

Love watching you creat beautiful pages. So glad that you share the process, I am taking it all in!

[@donnamorina7846]

Oh my gosh, what you call “fooling around” with watercolor I would buy and hang on my wall! 🤣. Thank you for another inspiring instruction. You make me want to be a better artist.

[@thecreativecove6898]

That is music to my ears. Thank you 😊

[@katherinehazard7580]

Very very cool! Funny, I was not sure what to think of the dark black areas….but OM Gosh…I love the dots!!! Thank you for your videos!

[@Angie-pl3uw]

These illustrations are gorgeous. I love watching you create!

[@carolannmacarthur759]

These turned out great Michelle!! More like this please. So glad to know that someone else calls them pencil crayons. Maybe it’s a Canadian thing.❤

[@sunshinegirl8214]

I loved this! Also liked it when you had a few solid black areas. 😮

[@maineiacts]

Good Morning Michelle!!! Without a doubt, imo? YOU! ARE THE BEST INSTRUCTOR/TEACHER of the techniques you share with us!! Your students must LOVE YOU LOTS!!! I KNIW I DO!!! Finally taking some time to get back to my Favorite YT Creator!💝😘🤗🤗🎨✍🏵🌺🍁🍀 I am really amazed by your creativity that packs A punch, but as demonstrated by you looks easy to achieve AWESOME RESULTS!!! I will have to adjust my budget to purchase those paints if Amz still has some. I saw some on Temu, which are even lower cost, but I have not tried that site yet.. YES PLEASE!! TO MORE of this style! I'm just in Awe over the Tall Ships and sail boat you did! I also have an affinity for the ships!! Being Landlocked and a Landlubber here in Iowa, I dearly miss having easy access to the seashore like when I need to live in Maine.. So, somehow, lots if the subjects you bring forth, remind me of my life back in New England...THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!🌲🐚 Have A Wonderful weekend! God Bless You and Yours!🌹- Mindi

[@hilltopviewjournals]

I love this video. Please do more! Steph ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathleensmith9307]

I also discovered the method of freeform watercolor flowers a few years ago. They work quite nicely when cut out and used as collage fodder. 🌻 ❤❤

[@paulannesorensen2395]

This is so relaxing to just watch. I must create a few for myself!

[@marlyndataylor2925]

This is a delightful possibility for playing with color, line and loose drawing. I’ve just started playing with water colors. This is great inspiration.

[@patticriss2238]

Finally! Exactly the video I was looking to watch. Thank you so much.

[@megcross3229]

Your free-flow approach is mesmerizing! So happy you share that with us! ‘Fear, be gone!’

[@naomihall7339]

Michele, I just ran into your channel, I have no word that describe how crazy good you are. You are such a amazing artist, wow , wow, wow, I'm just left with my mouth open . I will being watching you so much now. Glad I saw your channel. What a gifted women you are,

[@gaylecewpie5012]

Fabulous!! I love this it speaks to me, I do some of this but not as beautifully as you do, but I'm learning. I want more of these they are the most gorgeous ones I've seen. Please keep on creating these wonderful paintings. I also appreciate the way you explain how and what your doing. Thank you so much for share these beauties with all of us.💖

[@thecreativecove6898]

Wonderful!thank you so very much 😊

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Michele, this is just so beautiful! I'm always so impressed when you paint, ink, or sketch. One can never get tired of your tutorials. You are so gifted and I greatly appreciate you sharing your talent. Thank you!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@mjrewerts]

I thoroughly enjoyed this and I did a little watercolor alongside you! 🤗👍🏼❤️

[@kathleengerdes8537]

Love this video. I did this one along with you. Such a relaxing afternoon.......

[@kathleenblando1555]

I love this Thank you.

[@janemcbain5151]

Beautiful! Lovely creation of loose approach art. Makes me want to give it a try, thank you!!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Enjoyed this very much, and I absolutely love that there is no distracting music, I love the sounds of art being made. This was very enjoyable.

[@debbieekes5718]

I’m enjoying this tutorial so much. Thank you! These are beautiful. Would love to watch more. It was so interesting to see this evolve. My work gets to certain stages where it looks like stages of this, and I feel like it’s ruined. But you keep going on your, and it really turns out beautiful. That is my big revelation today.

[@marithasteyn2170]

Dear Michelle you are too creative for me can't keep up with you! Whow I am still trying to do drawing bees and bird houses, herbs, flowers and ... and and slow down. You are wonderful! Keep up the good work I will try to catch up! :)

[@marjieiversen5175]

I absolutely love your two paintings. It was so helpful the way you showed us the process for developing the picture as you went along while explaining to us what and why you were doing it! THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥰

[@noelchristiansen2064]

First video I’ve watched of yours I love it! So beautiful posca markers smear easily but if your using them as a final touch they work. That’s great to know. Love your loose style mixed with graphics and great color combos!

[@theresapalmer7892]

Not much luck with posca pens, leaking issues. So I will try with Arrtyx acrylic markers for the white. Love these doodle exercises on watercolor, also haven't tried adding my colored pencils. Will now. TY.

[@sheilawilliams6282]

I find these really relaxing. I really enjoy watching them before bed so I can fall asleep. It is very helpful.

[@rosalindfeemster8049]

These are beautiful. I will try this but without any expectations they will look anything like these besutiful paintings.

[@eleanorrubalcava7764]

I just love your graphic ideas my favorite is the pink flowers with black backgrounds and white picks dot and black stripes

[@lindabsstitchesstuff2728]

Such talent. I could watch you at work all day long!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Wow, thank you!😊

[@LyndaWilkinson]

Could it be a possibility that your sweater you were wearing inspired your graphic art design?😂 I definitely enjoy watching you create and find inspiration. I appreciate you, Michelle

[@wendyschmidt4339]

Wry much enjoyed this 💕🌷🙏🏼 Thank you for sharing your art

[@janillingsworth7478]

These are very striking almost like a textile design.

[@thecreativecove6898]

They are! Thank you 😊

[@sandracook9600]

Love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Just found you. Right now I am binging. LOL Have wonderful Holidays.

[@claudiaforrest6669]

Just amazing! I can’t wait to try this as well!

[@Miastrong930]

I like it. Beautiful transformation. I like the gradient black and white dotted areas on the left side, just a little better than the right side. That is minor because I love the entire painting.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you 😊

[@annetaylor9625]

Absolutely beautiful & so much fun to watch!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you so much!

[@tamaraleonard2882]

I love these videos. Thank you so much for sharing. You have given me so many ideas.

[@ludivinagalindo5070]

Beautiful! It’s soothing to watch you create. I am inspired to try your technique.❤

[@irmamorris3675]

Amazing and you made it seem so easy.. I watched until the final dot 😊

[@lucieleduc7520]

I love that kind of video I’m sure I could achieved something like that thank you so much for sharing xx

[@jeanieferretti4203]

I love everything you do ❤ Thank you for sharing your work ❤

[@Pamela-l4m]

I love your eclectic approach!

[@dbell1213]

Thank you. I am learning to let myself doodle and then paint.❤

[@gopaghosh9756]

Looks as easy as pie. But when it comes to executing the same I am at my wits end as how to do it as beautiful as yours. Love from India ❤

[@turkworks1]

This type of art really appeals to me. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@landstclair]

I would NEVER tire of watching this...

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

I love how the flowers came forward in the picture when you started adding the bold lines. Very pretty. TFS ❤

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks so much 😊

[@vickibusybee]

Really love these Michelle. ❤🤍🖤🩷

[@Joysart360]

Love these, thank you for sharing.

[@esthatodd-wi1zy]

Fabulous. You are so talented. Please do more!

[@Sarah43627]

Fantastic job! This is by far my favorite type of mixed media, but I do like mixed media in general too. Thumbs up!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thanks a bunch!😊

[@cynthiahogue7724]

Love it! Please keep sharing these videos!

[@elisekt1860]

Just happened on your channel because I’m junk journaling and love watercolor and needed ideas on how to work water coloring pages into it. As a beginner, I like the looseness you started with but wow your inking is wow and intimidating.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you for watching. It can be intimidating to add such a dark and bold pattern. Start with small little taped off sections and experiment with them. You can get several on a small paper and if you don’t love them you can recycle them into something else. I’m sure if you try this method you’ll find yourself a lot less intimidated. Hope that helps 😊

[@sherrilltaylor1801]

I’m never tired of watching you create 😊

[@halfinchkathy]

I really love the blousy shapes that you wrangled into peonies, combined with the controlled geometric patterns in tight and demanding shapes! What fun!

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you! 😊

[@judyemig7097]

I really enjoyed this video. I just happened to find it. I took screen shots so hopefully I will be able to find more of your videos. I think what you are doing is wonderful. You showed me how I could loosen up , have fun, and end up with a different look than I have ever had. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for what you do!

[@naomihall7339]

Your crazy saying you don't really like this piece, I love, love, love it. It's so beautiful.

[@thecreativecove6898]

Thank you ☺️

[@lesleydrew9843]

I had drifted off to sleep while watching KZbin and woke to banging, it was your dotting lol. I am so glad I woke up as I loved the tutorial. I have to watch again how to do the rest but the end result was great. X

[@mounabb1869]

It's an amazing art board i'm in Love

[@pamchan5585]

I like watching the process. The poppies on the right speak to me more.

[@ruthcunningham4006]

Keep them coming! First time watching you!❤❤❤❤

[@Carolyncarolynisaacmsncom]

I'm really enjoying your artwork.

[@dianeknott3655]

Beautiful. They have a very "Parisian" look to them. So elegant.

[@ruthcunningham4006]

Fabulous! I am encouraged and feel this is a right way for me to learn watercolors with mixed media! Thank you so very much for your tutorials! ❤❤❤ from Missouri

[@thecreativecove6898]

Wonderful! Have fun! 😊

[@paulinedavis3660]

I adore this method. You definitely showcase how fun water colours can be and effective! I'm often intimidated but after watching this video I'm keen to play and have fun. Thanks so much 😊

[@anniegotakindlee]

I love your videos. And these graphic marked are what I aspire to do. I couple years ago I water colored a lot of birds and some flowers and animals.

Wonderful! Thank you😊

Thank you so much 😀

[@sueallen1945]

Love these paintings! I would love to see more.

[@thecreativecove6898]

More to come! Thank you 😊

[@odrade99]

I really love those videos. Watercolor with the graphic elements really help take the « fear » out of watercoloring. The loose drawing of the flowers is something i really need to work on ☺️❤

[@thecreativecove6898]

Glad you like them! Thank you 😊

[@raelynnreffruschinni8802]

Very fun to watch! I like the non-messiness of it. LOL!

Absolutely love all of your at. It has inspired me to have a go. ❤

[@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919]

I love this. Libraries pull books that are old or worn, etc. and you might be able to get some of those books from them. I have a friend who is a librarian and she told me this. At Christmas she gave me a journal thing she made out of old book pages. She used cardboard for the front and back cover and did the binding to make these perfect for decorating and journaling using paint and all the pretty embellishments you can come up with. I especially love that you can leave areas of the page to show through that have beautiful writing. One of the pages in the little "book" she made me was about ballet. Anyway, love your channel!

[@thecreativecove6898]

That’s wonderful. What a lovely gift. 😊

[@betsybuick4260]

I enjoyed this very much.
