Intuitive art, is making me a better artist. My layers may be making me a masterpiece, but its breaking my heart! I can get any relief! I dont have hope, I dont have anyone left who understands me or gets me. I m going to be alone forever.

[@EscapefromThe8ofSwords]

This is one of the most beautiful mixed media pieces I have ever seen. My absolute favourite. :)

[@ShawnPetite]

Oh thank you ! Such kind words! Thanks for being here!

[@farrellsnotebook]

Wow, this video put into words why I think I’ve been so drawn to mixed media artwork. It’s because I am mixed media artwork! Texture, layers (some ugly) and complex aspects make me who I am but I believe in the hope of the beauty of the end result!

[@bhornannawindeedeigh5007]

Thank you from the bottom of my very broken heart for saying that we are all a masterpiece in the making. Most of the time I don't feel that way, but I'm getting more comfortable with being an imperfect being and trying to remember that even my regrets and sorrows are part of my unique beauty. Your heart piece is lovely. I loved the process and your final meditative explanation. Thanks so much for your tutorial and your lovely lesson. I always come away from your vids feeling nourished... usually a bit tearful, but they're tears from my soul - and my tears always teach me something too. God bless you and yours always, Shawn. You are so very sweet and so very greatly appreciated. 💐

[@rhudson31]

Thank you Shawn. As always I love your art piece, that’s what draws me in & then your words, always your words! They hit me right where it’s needed! Much love. ❤️

[@midnitemoon577]

Gorgeous piece! Love your art. Thank you for showing us your process. I agree that praying and meditating really do help give more meaning to artwork.

[@StonewallArabians]

I love that when you used the stencil to add swirls that you then went back and added freehand swirls to them also.

[@lindawinchell4108]

The music you used in this video touched my heart deeply. I love your art and you choices of music. God bless

[@karenjoy9997]

So sorry. My hubby is in the emergency room. And I'm all alone, worried about him . Your Art is full of light, balance, & contrast. Your intuition, and skill is strong. How do you stay so positive? Life is tearing me down . Stuck in this horrible place.

[@lbrc133]

I could watch these for hours!

[@TheDunroaminfarm]

I love the colors you chose for the background

[@kathyb5740]

Another beautiful piece of art !!!!

[@micheleneconradie4997]

Your art is always so beautiful and I’ve learned so much from watching your channel. Your message at the end is always uplifting and today’s message was just what I needed about letting go of past mistakes and realising that Heavenly Father is at work in my life to make me a better person. I feel He has led me to your art, to hear the messages and encouragement you share. May He always bless you and thank you, once again. Your message today was just what I needed. What a beautiful artist you are and what a sincere ministry you share in His name. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sherrydmyterko-tramp8654]

Extremely beautiful. I love it.

[@NiftyScrapperBeckyCurrey]

I am new to your channel and I have watched 4 of them. Your videos are so inspiring and creative. You bring your soul into your canvas and creative astounding work. This reminded me of my heart and how badly it has been hurt but how my heart has also stayed pure to who I am. Thank you so much!

[@ShawnPetite]

Becky Currey thank you so much... so glad you are sharing the journey with me

[@maryannerouse4704]

Gorgeous!

[@cheryl7476]

I really love this beautiful piece. You have given me some ideas for the remaining 3 valentines, I have left to do. Nice way to use paper scraps! Thanks, Shawn.

[@kathleenstrode8445]

Strong! Vibrant! Thank you!

[@LSI.]

Thank you for that interesting beautiful perspective about our choices and regrets. They all shape our wisdom and depth.

[@DeniseBrooks1955]

LOVELY!!

[@jonisorsen]

Wow! Your message really spoke to me as I'm making huge changes in my life. Thanks!

[@cw4608]

Not going to lie, in the beginning I thought it was interesting, then as it progressed I thought it was just a mess, but at the end I really liked the result. Very nice work!

[@TheBlackbutterfly62]

Just found your Chanel. I love your artwork, I also love the way you work and where it comes from. Thank you for sharing it with us. JuliAnn

[@ClaraMelchorBowman]

Beautiful. Brought me to tears dear Shawn. You are a very special gift. I thank you and I thank God for you. Much love & hugs 🌻

[@chrispfeifer9235]

Soooo beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@clambushell6661]

Just beautiful!!! The only thing that was a distraction for me was the birds tail. When you stuck it on I thought - uh oh - she’s going to trim that off! I think seeing that cheeky birds tail sticking out of the heart would have been perfect! Do you still have the scraps? Stick it back on! LOL ❤️

[@marieduncan8746]

Beautiful art...beautiful message. Thanks so much.

[@tealwingz]

I just want to tell you that I love your artwork, the soothing music in your videos, how you share your artistic process at the end of the video and the inspirational messages at the end. Thank you, Shawn, for making this world a more beautiful place!

[@rmhelder57]

Thanks so much for your words. I needed it right now!

[@RoseD2016]

You have a gift. The small amount of videos I have seen of yours makes me happy. I have recently found you. I am so grateful for finding you. The thought process you have to create is awesome. You’re creativity both thought wise and through the artistic process complete each other. God Bless you. ~~ Rosie ~~ ❤️

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you Rosite! So glad you are sharing the journey!

[@beckyswartzlander9923]

I love how you inspire me with your thought process and how it effects your art each time! Thank you!

[@joanneneuman5003]

Your art is inspiring. This piece is amazing! ❤️

[@jackiegfeller]

Love this piece... Love the music behind it and how relaxing it was to watch your process. Thank you.

[@jackieswe]

The finished piece is really beautiful, thank you so much for your wonderful words Shawn🙏🏻💞

[@nelliesmom217]

It came out lovely.

[@danafaber922]

Absolutely stunning! Everything you said at the end was spot on! I think mixed media art is a lot of going back and forth (the song and dance) of adding and taking away and adding and covering up.....all the layers and little details gives energy to the piece your working on.....your energy (which is what makes it special, I think) . It all came together beautifully and everything you said really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing a part of you with all of us. Thank you for the inspiration and thank you for taking the time to record your beautiful works of art! ❤️~~Dana~~

[@sueeparra7454]

Love this and love you!

[@annholcomb4448]

new subie here, i am in love with your process, thank you for inspiring me.

[@elizabethflorez2372]

Beautiful

[@ChasingTadpoles]

Beautiful work on all your videos. The music is also peaceful and positive words. Do you seal your work? Where do you get your MDF boards?

[@ShawnPetite]

Thanks so much. I seal with a soft gloss varnish and I cut my own wood. I buy a large sheet wholesale and then cut and router each piece. I have them available in my shop.

[@lesleyritchie5085]

Stunning tfs

[@alejandrahidalgo6948]

Precioso 🌺🌷🌹

[@lauralangley7240]

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your art and your process. I so enjoy watching you create. I am going to try this piece. I love birds and have some pictures I took and this piece is amazing. How did you print the words on tissue? Did you use a lettering stencil?

[@Georgiacosmahrocks]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@acrylicavenue6056]

Stunning. I love the colours you've used in this piece. I have a question though. By the time you've completed your final piece, can you still see the ripped up pages from the books you did at the very beginning? If not, is it done to create layers and depth?

[@ShawnPetite]

You can see a bit of the paper, mainly the first layer of paper is to start the creative process, tell my story and create texture and depth. Thanks for watching!

[@chende62]

This is so beautiful! How did you transfer the quote onto the page? I can’t figure out what it’s printed on.

[@CoffeeBookChick]

I always love watching you create! May I ask the supplies you use from the glue you brush on to secure everything, the acrylic paint and the pencil to shade it all in? I love it all but couldn’t find the items in previous videos to be exact!

[@ShawnPetite]

There is a link in the description to the blog that has all the supplies listed. Thanks for watching!

[@amykress6237]

B E A U T IF U L!!! What is the quote printed on? Tissue paper? How?

[@kimkelso1360]

Beautiful! So fun to watch and learn. What is the black pencil, chalk tool used toward the end?

[@ShawnPetite]

Its is a charcoal pencil. The brand is 'Generals' thanks for watching!

[@lynntinsley8081]

Hi Shawn. Amazing. Do you ship to the uk? There are soooo many things I want/need 😀

[@leelakapel3639]

Where do you get all the lettering.... I do love your creative expression...

[@socorrocastorena3862]

Hi Shawn, I'm a newbie. Would like to know if you went to school for this or took classes. Your art is beautiful and I've been inspired beyond my dreams. Thank you so much for your video. It's amazing to me. 😍💗💗

[@ShawnPetite]

I actually went to design school and had some art classes but I'm mostly self-taught. I have taken aaa lot of online workshops in the past. I do have workshops that I teach online if you would like to grow your skills. Thanks so much for watching!

[@socorrocastorena3862]

@@ShawnPetite thank you shawn for answering me back. I will truly think about on line classes. Again, you surely are talented and your art is beautiful. ❤❣❤

[@yvonnethistle-brewster2734]

Just love your work!! Can I buy these new mini doodle stencils??

[@ShawnPetite]

Its available in the shop. Www.shawnpetite.com thanks!

[@midnitemoon577]

Oh my goodness--I absolutely love this piece! So beautiful with all those delicious layers. I was wondering what is that pencil or pen you used to outline heart? It is red on the outside but puts out black I think. Then you shaded with your fingers over the dark outline. Where can I buy one? Thank you in advance.

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you and It's a Generals Charcoal pencil - ex. soft you can get it on amazon. And then I used a black soft pastel to do additional shading. Thanks for watching

[@midnitemoon577]

@@ShawnPetite Aww thanks for answering my question. Will look for it. Happy 2023!

[@sherryjohnson7313]

What is this that your doing your art on? Cardbord?
