Thank you so much. The idea of simplicity and restraint keeps escaping me. This suggests a way in. Thank you.

[@AquaLumenStudio]

Thanks for the great ideas and inspiration to explore different ways of creating compositions!

[@paulinejansart]

Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed.

[@karenmiller998]

Seeing how you use sketchbooks is hugely helpful for me. Just simply exploring lines, colors, shapes, etc. is so interesting and freeing that it doesn't have to look like a painting I would display. Thank you. Love your art.

[@paulinejansart]

Thank you so much Karen. My apologies for missing your lovely comment.

[@lisedanis2201]

This was hugely helpful. I keep thinking I have to choose an approach. Love the simple pages; you can really SEE the idea you’re exploring. Thanks.

[@trudyhoneycutt452]

Love the idea of simplicity!! I'm inspired to do this, too, as a way to learn to not get carried away with marks and colors!! Also another way to not waste the leftover paint on the palette. Thank you for sharing these explorations!!

[@paulinejansart]

[@eddieespinosa6576]

Nice. How did you set your drawings/charcoal to keep them from smearing? Thanks

[@marychristophi6688]

Hi it really opens my eyes 👀 thank you so much 😳

[@paulinejansart]

You’re welcome 😊

[@shahafshahaf5001]

Thanks

[@magereina]

Pauline really enjoyed seeing the play in your sketchbook. I do have a question: what is a color shaper?

[@PatriseHenkel]

A silicone ‘brush’ that’s just a flat wedge that pushes paint around. Google ‘silicone brush’ - Princeton is one brand

[@magereina]

@@PatriseHenkel got it! thanks for the reply

[@lyndafletcher4316]

Hi Pauline, I look forward to your videos and as a beginner, I have learned such a lot from you. I love minimalistic abstract but have a question - how do you stop chalks, soft pastels, charcoal and graphite line markings from smudging??

[@paulinejansart]

Glad you enjoyed Lynda. Are you in my PAINT THE WAY UP or Paint The Way facebook groups? I help many artists right there in the group!

[@PatriseHenkel]

This is so helpful

[@paulinejansart]

Thank you Patrise
