Wow! Another amazing tutorial showing how to use two (3?) very different techniques. I absolutely love how you narrate your vids in such a welcoming manner. Your directions are always so clear and helpful. In the creation of this one, very early on I saw a spotted harbor seal that I loved! 😏 Thank you for a wonderful lesson!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

You are so welcome! Thank you so so much for your kind feedback and I’m so happy to hear how you enjoy my approach to the videos

Mark, what a grand idea you had to put the marble in it. It just made this gorgeous piece and the colors were great. I love it.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

ça vallait la peine de regarder la longue version. 🎉🎉 J'aime autant ces couleurs que pour la pièce de cette semaine. 🥰 Mais je t'avoue que je n'avais jamais vu, ni pensé passer la bille après le swipe. Je préfère de beaucoup le résultat lorsque les lignes de la bille restent apparentes et coupent le swipe de façon divine. 🤩 J'adore cette façon de faire !!! 💯💯💯Super résultat!!

[@jesswright8279]

The simplicity of this makes it really interesting and a very eye catching composition.The detail is extraordinary and in some ways easier on the eye being monochromatic. The technique is also pleasantly simple. You’ve inspired me.

Hello Mark, I love the grey, black & white colours you chose for this painting, they are stunning yet peaceful. Great thinking mate to swipe your puddles & then use the marble, I have never thought of doing these 2 techniques in one painting but I am definitely going to give it a go this afternoon. I have used various sized marbles in paintings & to date my most vibrant colours have been black, white & gold with a black base. Thank you for your inspiration, I learn something from you every time I watch your videos. Cheers, Michelle from Australia 🌹
