[@SciencePotli]

Fantastic painting tutorial sharing, Great 💕🌺👍👍👍👍👍

[@Cerydwyn87]

I actually really liked the first layer. It was super expressive. The end painting is also gorgeous 😍

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you!

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

You always make me in a good Mood, inspire me to paint and have fun while painting.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Aww yay!

[@nancyb.4508]

Another delightful video! You always seem to make me more relaxed about my painting, you have a soothing way of even dealing with mishaps. The markers look like fun. I think your painting was beautiful at all stages! The scenery there is spectacular! What a joy it must be to just sit there and drink it all in. Thanks for sharing, Sarah

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you Nancy! I love being able to share these incredible places.

[@tiffanybehmer7245]

This was the perfect video to watch after the latest Draftsmen episode about expressionism. I can see the joy of painting on the coast in all your marks and your use of color.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I still need to watch the latest Draftsmen!

[@wendyhepting6056]

Super enjoyable! The drone footage is breathtaking! Your painting felt so spontaneous and fresh, thanks for the authentic video!😁

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you Wendy!

[@mrs.z605]

You always amaze and never disappoint! Beautiful work. This was awesome!

[@tammylanglois2602]

Lovely painting and lovely location! Thank you for sharing!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

The whole time you were painting with the brush, I was seriously like, "oh I think she forgot the paint is gonna leak out-- all the markers are horizontal 😰." Most people that I see using acrylic markers definitely do more graphic style art with them. Despite the mess, it was nice to see you get into a nice groove with the markers for your style of work.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Yea I totally got sucked into the zone and forgot about the leak 🙃

[@VictorianStudio]

Beautiful Sarah! My OCD probably would deter me from using such a messy tool - but you have such a wonderful talent and technique to get through any struggles for such a lovely result. Awesome footage btw (loved the bee!). You are so lucky to be in such a breathtaking place however my acrophobia would have me no nearer the edge of that cliff than the footpath!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I was going to mention that these won't be suitable for someone with OCD 😅 but I'm sure the video makes it clear lol

[@amberzartwork1466]

What a beautiful painting & such gorgeous cinematography - oooh that coastline looks magical! Those acrylic markers look wild. Also.... Team Instinct??!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Team Instinct!

[@c.f.callier]

It can be difficult to press on through that ugly stage, so glad you did! You got a beautiful piece for your effort!

[@Tyggzz]

Hi Sarah ! What a beautiful scenery! I love the way you explain your choice of markers…I’m gonna have to try it as I have a few paint marker that size ! Gorgeous result ❤️!

[@scottishwifie14]

Love painting intuitively, I go really fast with a palette knife with acrylic. Picking up lots of colours at once. Beautiful painting and as always the amazing Moray Firth coast.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Something so wonderful about that intuitive response..

[@deborahmeyers7839]

Ohhhhh this is soooooo beautiful Sarah thanks for sharing 👍🌺

[@samantharankinstinamisan5583]

Your "ugly phase" & "disaster" looked great to me!! I got the Montana markers too. Gonna use them for script in my paintings. Thx for your messages & encouragement 😊

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Just a heads up, the really tiny nibs did not work super well while working on top of wet paint

[@dandansapainting]

This is a very beautiful and inspiring place. Love to see you doing well

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you for joining me!

Incredible scenery, never give up, painting turned out beautiful, thanks for the video.

Never give up!

Turned out beautiful!

[@cirine9466]

Wow🥺

[@Julie-vy3oz]

Insightful and inspiring. thank you!

[@zenandink3531]

That looks SO fun!!…I just got some Posca markers and did a little 3 color value study with them and wow!-it was just soooo fun-I’ll try your technique with some nature sketch :) Thank you for all of the inspiration!! Turned out really beautiful!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you!

[@andreatorraca8755]

Out come is very pretty..

[@MTRelaxation67]

Wonderful amazing artwork

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you so much 😀

[@DavZell]

I liked the first layer. You could have done this as a quick painting episode and gone no further and I would have been pleased with what you showed us. It is different than your other paintings, but it clearly represented the same thing as the final painting, but was more emotive and playful. You should make more work you don't like!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Haha "shoulda coulda!" The thing is, we each have our own aesthetic, and I'll always strive to meet mine

[@DannySabraArt]

I have used acrylic markers for some acrylic projects that I needed precision with. Sometimes drawing with a brush doesn’t get the precision I want. I’ll admit I’ve never used them plein air though. And tbh I get nervous about the inability to erase. My drawings don’t always come out perfect! Haha.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I have used these in the studio with far less mess and they are so enjoyable!

[@ellenp7455]

Your first layer- my finished painting after hours of wrestling with it ! 🤣 You mentioned thinking of it as a kindergarten painting, did you know you could turn it around in the end? When one actually has to give up and start anew? Beautiful painting and beautiful scenery,your films remind me of "Planet Earth" narrated by David Attenborough, especially scenic footage with a drone! Thank you for this trip to the seaside, I enjoyed every second of it! 💖 P.S. my daughter calls you " a lady who carries lots of art supplies in her backpack and has a shed with spiders for drying her paintings" 🤣 Yep, sorry about that!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Yes I knew I could 'fix it' because it's an opaque medium, yay! But I just had to get over the initial tantrum lol. And I totally agree with that title 🤣

[@ellenp7455]

@@SarahBurnsStudio Oh, yeah...I keep forgetting that some paints are opaque.😄 But even so, I think I heard you mentioning the danger of "overworking" the gouache painting, gouache is opaque 🙄 How do you know that one's painting is overworked? ( Is that even a sentence? It's all this heat..🤣)

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Ohhhh I see..overworking it is another issue 😄 honestly I just go with my gut. Looking away frequently to give my eyes a rest. Then suddenly I see it for what it is. Doing this helps to avoid drowning in the painting. So yea just take lots of mini breaks after painting for a while.

[@ellenp7455]

@@SarahBurnsStudio Yet another issue?! Oh, dear.. It's beginning to look more and more like a minefield!🤣 But it's so much fun! Even if I started a painting as a forest and got a lake in the end 😄 Will endeavour to get breaks while painting, I usually try to sprint to the finish line ,so to speak! Thank you for answering! 💖

[@aparnak42]

Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for sharing your journey as an artist on KZbin! It is really inspiring to watch your videos :) Wondering after seeing this video about whether you'd be interested in also trying out alcohol-based markers (like Copic markers) to make watercolour like paintings?

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

To be honest I'm not really interested in copics or similar. Maybe just grey, for value studies 🤔

[@SereneStudio]

I don't care for acrylic bc of the plastic but this is a wild idea! I can really appreciate your efforts as an artist to persevere and create in different ways and mediums and finding solutions to challenges. You are an amazing person. I also think the painting came out beautifully. :) Can I ask how long you spent on it? Take care.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you ;) I was there for around an hour

[@rahimirahimi8560]

Sorry I am late. I just found your channel and I love your work. I thought the painting looked great before and after. Very expressive. But I also noticed that this was your only video about working with the acrylic markers (or at least the only one with "acrylic markers" in the title. Did you give up on them? Just curious because I was debating between buying ready made (which seem mostly pastel or neon) or making my own.

[@KawikaDowney]

I remember dennis mukai would use these to paint figures

[@Mariafay_art]

Hi Sarah, love the video and the painting. I really fancy having a go with those markers. Found some on Amazon described as ‘ Montana acrylic marker 12er set A 2mm’. Are they the right ones? x

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Mine are Montana acrylic 15mm

[@phedran]

I'd seen the Daler-Rowney empty mixed media markers and was tempted to try them with inks or something but there's not a lot of information about them!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

It's worth testing with one or two!

[@nafordebi]

o just bought some paint markers 2 sets of 30i got to thinking what else could i use and remember i have a wait for it......a crayola marker maker kit! going to try a couple with acrylic paint and flowsall by luixuatec that's not how u spell that oh well , also going to try india ink and liquid watercolors gonna get a puppy pad from ex hubby i will definitely make a mess but also it seems fun i wonder if ivan do it with gouache.... does anyone think it would work ? great video and i think it was working well even in the beginning i have to practice painting fast i'm great under pressure the fact that i haven't lost my mind, so the kit only comes with enough , not to make 3 markers i can't stop giggling

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Since gouache dries fast, I think it would clog the markers. You definitely need "high flow" paint.

[@nafordebi]

@@SarahBurnsStudio that's what i thought lol, i have acrylic very flown and liquid ex flow aid going to try that and i found the other 12 barrels silly girl i forgot there was a glade bottom in the marker maker that never made into christmas present for my 19 ur old grand daughter,using the paint markers i bought was a learning curve u have to have a light hand or at least with cellulose paper it tears up the fibers if u go too hard , that painting came out so pretty if u make prints i need one definetly , thanks for the advice sarah, it was very informative as always

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

@@nafordebi Aww thank you so much! It was a challenge but really enjoyed it. I did add the prints to my Etsy shop :)

[@Vengurl09]

can you mix it with posca markers?

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Yes

[@ginettegervais4457]

Who is filming, drone ??

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I do all my own filming and editing. When I'm walking around I fly the drone at the same time.

[@andreatorraca8755]

Morning Sarah….

[@loriannferraioli2698]

Do the seagulls steal your art stuff? The noise would have drove me nuts. Thank you for all your videos.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Haha no, and honestly the wind was sort of drowning out the seagulls most of the time 😅

[@loriannferraioli2698]

@@SarahBurnsStudio 🤣🤣

[@harrisonbpimpin]

U see how u had to keep pumping the marker like that? Its not suppose to be like that. All streaky n stuff. Suppose to be nice n solid. U can mix water with it but it wont be as pigmented. Thats how the highflow paint is in the marker, its not good. Only high flow color that works in markers is the black. Just dump all the paint out ur markers n clean ur nibs n get some montana or molotow paint. I promise the results are much better

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I think they weren't fully activated yet. But I've been using them in a studio and they flow super well. After I run out of paint I'll probably try the other brand paint too.

[@meghanjudge1629]

I enjoyed until the camera movement made me feel sick. Other then that I really like this video.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Yea I tried to minimize that, but it is tricky filming POV!
