@SuzanneAllardDesign I'll be back. Diane Antone recommended your channel and I have enjoyed it.

[@lorraineerickson4311]

Your work is so fun and positive. This is the first day I ever saw your work. I was looking at all the other artists on the Nova site and I chose you as the one I wanted to view. So fresh. Abstract and collage are my faves. I would like to see what you could do with both of those. Thank you . I will be back!

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thank you so much and welcome Lorraine! I am a color nut and I will be doing some collage videos and classes, mine are wild!

[@HammyMamma]

This video made me so happy! Your art is so beautiful and inspiring. I couldn’t click on this video fast enough ❤️🥰❤️

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thank you so much!! You are so sweet!

[@SheilaStretton]

Hi Suzanne, first chance I have had to watch, really enjoyed this journey through your Sketchbooks and your encouragement to experimment and 'loosen up' when exploring art and design. Very inspiring for a beginner like myself, and I really liked your low-key style and approach. Look forward to more, thank you.

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

You are so welcome Sheila! If we aren't having fun and enjoying creating then we won't do it. I have to remind myself not to get to tight and pressured all the time!

[@sarahta1984]

I love the idea of the mini compositions class!

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

ok great, thanks for letting me know!

[@KatMerleJones]

That was fun!! I enjoy your humor ☺️

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

I'm so glad! We have to have fun or we won't keep creating!

I loved going through your sketchbooks. I thought how fun it would be to make table books of them. Each one is a Treasure, finished or not. I love you.

[@cathyboyd5545]

I would like to tell you that I've been following you on FB for quite a while and I love, love, love your art! It's so colorful, happy, moving, bright and beautiful!!! Now, I just found your KZbin channel! YAHOO!!! Thanks for posting. Do you ever paint on fabric? I would love to learn how to paint on fabric and then embroider the highlighted areas to create a 3D look. If you ever have an on-line linen or silk painting class, I'm there. THANK YOU for all you do - you are so talented.

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found me! I'm going to paint a sweatshirt soon to wear in my studio since I get paint on everything anyway! I don't think I would do such a specialized class but never say never!

[@cathyboyd5545]

@SuzanneAllardDesign Well, if you ever do a class on painting on fabric, I'm there. In the meantime, I'll enjoy all your other posts!!!! Can't wait to see your next completed project!!!❤️❤️

[@spicy9012]

Yay!!! I was hoping for this!!

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

[@plan4life]

I love your colour choices very much and you have a very unique style. Curious how your art develops.

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thank you so much! I'm curious too lol, it has just come from lots and lots of creating and moving toward what I like.

[@JkBee]

Love this, so lovely

[@FrankieKins112]

How about teaching a live class in the St. Louis area so I could attend. LOL (I would be ever so happy and grateful about that.)

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

I do want to have an in person art retreat somewhere someday!

[@maggiemae6867]

Beautiful

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thank you!

[@amyjohnson8985]

25 25:28 Love the mini albums. Please create a mini- floral or botanical class! …Recovering from the flu and binge watching your classes from Skillshare, your website, and KZbin. Thanks for such great content! 🙏🏼💖🙏🏼

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Sorry for the late reply, we were moving! I do have lots of floral classes, did you find what you were looking for?

[@MaryBrickner]

I really enjoyed this walk through your sketchbooks Suzanne. Do you have a class on collage?

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

not yet but that is on the planning calendar for this year!

[@ObservationStation_77]

Awesome!!

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@beccogiallo]

It was great to see all your colorful work. I really like that small imaginary worlds one you showed towards the end. I've been looking at your work on Instagram and wondered if you had a youtube channel, and sure enough you do! Too bad you never got around to working on the pink and orange background. Maybe next time?😊

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

I know! I will do it next time!

[@LeslieMcCullough-r3i]

Suzanne what do you paint your backgrounds with? I was thinking that gouache and watercolour would reactivate so do you use acrylic gouache and acrylic?😊

[@JkBee]

THANKS Suzanne! What paints do you recommend for gouache? Mid price range ideally.

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Turner is the best mid range! amzn.to/4734hZy

[@JkBee]

Hi Suzanne do you do any scanning and design videos/courses on skillshare?

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Yes I do! It's called From Painting to Product!

[@funnydogmom]

Could BG stand for Back Ground? Thanks!

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

not sure what you mean?

[@funnydogmom]

@@SuzanneAllardDesign You mentioned that at 11:18 or :19 that you read BG, and I was saying that that may have meant Background. Anyway, I love your work!
