‘plight on winter’s night’ -

[@mariarisebury2547]

A stunningly beautiful picture, you never seem to surprise me, you are a brilliant artist to be able to take a few stamps and chalks and paint and then produce a small master piece. Thank you for sharing. xx

[@inkyblisscreations]

Thank you so much! That’s very kind! Thanks for watching! ❤️😘

[@mairifleming1641]

I've seen so many Lavina stamps pictures, but yours far outshine then all. I'm just blown away. Thank you so much for sharing. 😍

Thank you Allison! Much appreciated🙏😘

[@letsbehonest01]

Simply beautiful. The colors really capture the mood of winter wind, storminess starting to brew. I love your work. I love watching Jo Rice and of course Tracey D. What a talented group of artists!! Thank you for the lesson,love the music as well.💖

Another amazing creation Lisa :) ... I'm so happy and grateful that you are making these videos ... the finishing touches really do add to the picture ...so much fun to watch ...Thank You!!

[@inkyblisscreations]

Thanks so much Claire ! So glad you find them helpful and yes for me it’s about following what the ink sprays present (in terms of a potential scene at the first stage) and all the layers and final touches using a mixture of media to achieve what’s necessary! 🙏😘

[@inkyblisscreations]

Thanks Gillian ! I haven’t got around to answering all the comments yet but I did see your last one. To answer your question I have just spent about 25 years inspired by others and have blatantly stolen their tips ! People like Barbara Gray and Sheena Douglass. I’ve been on several design teams over the years and worked for create and craft and Hochanda tv craft channels. I’ve also done alot of magazine work. I suppose I have just learnt from making tons of mistakes! Glad someone from NI could join my happy bunch! I live just outside Ballynahinch and am originally from Belfast. Thanks so much for your support it really means a lot to me! Xx

[@radamaerltp]

Astounding, Lisa! Thank you for teaching us how to express the wind. I love that everything is in the same direction. When I saw the piece, I felt that it was very dynamic, but didn't know how you achieved it. The most astonishing moment was when you started adding neon yellow to the trees. I would have never thought of it, never. I am amazed by how natural it looks. Your art makes me more brave when it comes to using colors. You show so well how they all work together to create the most fantastic results. I have a question, request rather, would it be possible for you to make a tutorial on drawing shadows, like the ones you did for the hares? I love your shadows so much, but can never recreate them. Mine end up looking like dirty smears. Is there a science to it or you just do it my instinct? of course, it is completely fine if such tutorial is not in your plans. In any case, every second of your tutorials is a priceless learning experience. Thank you again. I am so glad you are doing more videos now.

[@inkyblisscreations]

Tanya such a lovely comment! Thank you so much! I think the shadows are quite instinctive. I start off light and gradually build to darker shades. I usually blend them with a light colour at the very end too. In terms of shape shadows are never an exact reflection. The idea is to create a rough impression to trick the eye! The light source dictates the direction of the shadow and the ground squeezes and distorts the shapes . I hope that makes sense. Maybe I will try to focus a bit more on this topic in later videos . I’ll have a think on how best to explain it. Thank you for the request and your generous comment! 😘

It is so mesmerizing watching you work your magic. I've seen your work in the past and never really understood how you achieved the beauty in those works. You put so much effort into achieving it - even the moon - so many layers to achieve such a realistic look. I did have a bit of trouble hearing the sound when you were speaking with the volume up as high as it would go, but will investigate my computer settings - mayhap the problem is on my end! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent!!!

[@clintinesteele8030]

Oh! My! I just found you and this is the second video I have viewed. My "AHA" moment was when you added the yellow pen to the rabbits. They seemed to really come alive then! Then I loved the addition of the fine line pale blue sparkle pen towards the end. Of course I loved all the rest. The total affect reminded me of the aurora borealis - was that your intent? You are such a true artist who happens to use rubber stamps as a tool. Loved the background music, your soft voice, and the fact that you actually stamped out the images to show us what you'd be using to create this "masterpiece". Lavinia and your viewers are so fortunate to find you! with grateful hugs...clintine

Inspiring. What’s your view on metallic mica sprays? I see you mostly use colored ones. I’m looking for a way to use pewter, bronze sprays.

For me they don’t blend as well in the technique I use for backgrounds. I like using them on other mixed media projects eg wooden substraights and altered art projects. X

[@craftcreek4624]

so helpful, thank you. I understand, so will reserve those for alterations projects

[@bhaktiBhandary]

Excellent video and good info as usual. Could you please confirm if you used fixative for pastels? I tried to use but as usual it darkened the colours. Also does the lustre spray or mica spray such as Lindy’s spray give any shine to the background

[@inkyblisscreations]

Thank you BB. To answer, sometimes I spray lightly with fixative. Mostly I don’t. I just let everything settle and store it carefully. As you say the spray does change the pastels slightly. In my latest videos I use pan pastels. These are artist quality and long lasting as they contain binder. I don’t spray them unless the samples are going on TV. In terms of the mica sprays ,The mica does appear mixed into the background. It gives a good effect. I like that it adds to the texture and atmosphere. I just work with whatever I get! Xx

[@bhaktiBhandary]

@@inkyblisscreations Thank you Lisa. I am tempted to use pan pastels but there’s issue of space :).i might try oil pastels which I bought recently. I have ordered lindys spray Gang to see the effects. I didn’t like the distress oxide spray chalky look. I want little chalky look. So hopefully will try distress oxide + Lindy’s spray. I used Brusho sprays for vibrant colours like you do and that gave good effect. I have watched all your videos and they are really good. Love the way you build up the colours. Also watched all Tracy’s gel plate videos and love them too. X
