[@connieklein4401]

Absolutely beautiful! I've never see anyone use watercolor like that before. I love it!

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you Connie!

[@jamessmelcer616]

I have to admit that I have watched your videos more than once! I am enthralled! You make this look easy! Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your art. Keep up the great work girl. Jim

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you Jim. I only saw your nice words today. But as we say in Denmark: Better late than never!

[@agould105]

Nice job. I love your signature tape toss and use of every day items (the plate). Painting barefoot. Your videos are great. Relaxing and inspiring.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you for all your compliments.

I was imagining this technique the other day, but haven’t yet tried it... and now here it is! Absolutely gorgeous!! Can’t wait to try 😁 Thanks for sharing.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you - Good luck - today gives a better start than tomorrow!

[@MF-hq9mq]

I subscribed the first time I saw your work.... so beautiful, so free in spirit and so inspiring! I am totally captivated by your creations. Thank you for sharing.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you very much!

[@leslietomasulo8915]

Absolutely mesmerizing. You have a phenomenal talent for directing your colors with the water to create stunning results. Thank you for sharing.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you for watching!!

[@suhart414]

I am in awe. I got into fluid pours because I loved the unexpected nature of the art. I usually do watercolours. Never ever thought to try this.

[@lenagemze662]

Good luck then!!

[@suhart414]

Lena, you are my favourite artist ever :-)

[@sharonshulik3376]

She has two kinds of water she's dipping into do you have any idea what kind it seeing as you do watercolour

[@ingridcoke1360]

I am in awe with the outcome. It's absolutely amazing. I'll be trying thos for sure. Thank you so much for sharing..

[@Andy_S.]

It's brilliant! I, the artist, watched with my mouth agape! A shock of skill.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you Andy!

[@Jocellyn88]

Thank you for sharing this! I was feeling very adrift and bored of what I was creating and practicing. I saw this video, felt the freedom, and tried my own hand at this. And you know what...it was so enjoyable! Plus there is a real beauty in "simply" watching someone's process.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you very much Jocellyn!

[@sue_nz_kiwi2520]

You make it look so simple. It definitely pays to stop and look at it as you're doing it, slight adjustments needed and dang you have an art piece. Love it!

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you Sue!

[@Elaine-tk7nx]

An amazing technique demonstrated so perfectly and to stunning effect. It would be good to know some technical info such as: the weight of the paper, type of paper and colours used. Always love watching Lena at work. Thanks :)

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you very much! The paper is carton 470 g and I think the colors are: W&N Paynes Grey, Yellow Ocre, and Antwerp Blue.

[@Elaine-tk7nx]

@@lenagemze662 thanks, Lena. I've shown your videos to some members of my art group and we may be focussing on your technique. It makes watercolour so exciting to use! Thanks for the inspiration. 😊

Beautiful Lena!🙏🏼

[@LeonaFraser1]

just mesmerising to watch - is the paper hot pressed and why 2 tubs of water does one have something extra in it ????

[@lenagemze662]

The paper is cardboard and not made for watercolouring. It does not suck very much paint - it runs on the surface during the process. The water in one tub is usually a little dirty (Then I can see, where I put the water on the paper. The other is clean if i.e. I want to add yellow colour, otherwise it will not turn out yellow.

[@flokikraft6314]

Will definitely be having a go at this.... amazing. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.

[@lenagemze662]

Sorry I cannot understand it alle. Could you please write to me in English, German or maybe French?

It is cardboard 470 g and has a very blank (not shining) surface. It makes the water run fast and the colours mix in a nice way.

Exquisite. Please tell us what kind of paper you use and is it just simple water colour? Can one use acrylic ?

[@lenagemze662]

I use some kind of carton with a thin layer of clay. This carton is very cheep, and maybe you can get it in all kinds of office or art stores. It is just normal professional water colour. I don't know if you can use acrylic - I never did - but try it out!!!

[@brooktu4249]

I've only seen acrylic pouring do this. Now I'm fascinated by the possibilities. Great video :-)

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you! Go ahead and get started!!

[@hollisward8943]

Where can I find a list of the materials (types of brushes, other tools, paints, tape, watercolor paper ,etc) used in this painting. Hollis (Holly) Ward

[@lenagemze662]

All my flat brushes are made of goat hair because they hold a lot of water. The round brushes are da Vinci Cosmotop (a mix of hair and syntetic fibre) and never smaller than 22. I always use artists watercolours no matter brand. The paper in this video is cardboard 490 g. not made for watercolour. The tapes just a cheap one for building painters.

[@cateenadav]

Not only do I love this technique, but I love the clothing you wear in all of your videos. Where do you get your great dresses?

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you! The oldest is more than 30 years. But I still use them for painting and I still love them. And here in Denmark most people are wearing only black, and it depresses me. So I have to colourup life.

[@dawnsmart9444]

Beautiful but how do you stop your paper curling and rippling? What weight/grain of paper do you use? Thanks...

[@lenagemze662]

Dawn Smart Because it is not watercolour paper. It is cardboard maybe 400 g but also 5,6,700 g works.

[@novannarichards1441]

This is mesmerising unique talent...must try...what paper is being used?

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you Novanna. Cardboard 470 gr coated with chalk which makes the water run faster.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you. Yes try try try. I just don't know anything about acrylics. But keep on trying and make experiments!

[@sumanikasethi5452]

What are the two tubs that you dip your brush into...

[@lenagemze662]

One is with clean water. In the other the water is a little dirty. I use the dirty water to make the paper wet - else I cannot se where I put the water. I always leave a stripe without water on,

[@geoffmitchell6515]

Brilliant what size paper are you using it didn’t cockle at all with all that water

[@lenagemze662]

The paper size doesn't matter. It is cardboard 400 g - the thicker the less it cockles! It is not made for watercolour painting, but it has to be acidfree if you paint professional.

[@swifty120]

Yes, as other poster stated, it's the weight and type of paper. Some professional artist will even order special types of paper by the sheet, and they're pricey. I noticed how the water and paint flowed, as if it was on glass, and not one buckle! I have some mixed media paper, that seems to work a bit like this.

[@lenagemze662]

@@swifty120 You can use whatever you have, but if it is for professional use and it is paper, it must be acidfree. But it is possible to paint on stone paper too.

[@juliancasey3252]

Hi - how do you stop the paper from buckling with so much water?

[@lenagemze662]

The paper is cardboard 490 gr. Not made for watercolour painting but acidfree.

[@maureenkimoto1181]

Love the watercolour demo 1. Would you please share the colors you used for this project? thank you, Maureen.

Thank you Ann!

[@JVSwailesBoudicca]

Intrigued to know what you applied to the new paper after wetting it ? Was it something to help the colours run or to keep it damp for longer ? Please tell us ! Thank you for the vid.

[@lenagemze662]

I only apply water, but because of the cardboard, which is blank, the water runs faster and will not so fast be absorbed by the paper. Just ask again if it doesn't reply your question!

[@JVSwailesBoudicca]

@@lenagemze662 I am very sorry to bother you again...but I don't really know what the "Cardboard " is that you use. Wondering what product I would ask for at the art shop ? I have never heard of it before . I hope I don't have to travel from UK to Denmark to buy it 😬😯😏

[@lenagemze662]

@@JVSwailesBoudicca Ask as much as you please! Here is a link to my supplier. Maybe if you take the description to a paper store they can help you. They write that the paper is matt because it is coated with a thin layer of chalk. www.easytech.dk/shop/syrefri-karton-0-7586p.html

Two kinds of water I'd like to know what's in the other water does anyone know?

On is not completely clean - I mix a tiny bit of black in it. It enables me to see where I have put the water from the beginning. If the water is completely clean, I cannot se the part where I don't put water. I also always have a clean one, because if you use yellow it is spoiled very easy if the water is dirty.
