Ooooooh, I love this, awesome work Lydia! You make this look so easy and I know it’s extremely difficult, which just shows how talented you are. Well done lovely lady. 👌

What an awesome demo! I have learned some very lovely techniques from you. Heartfelt thanks.

Gorgeous, you have inspired me to use texture and be more experimental. Thank you 🥰

Very beautiful❤

Très belle oeuvre. Je suis admirative devant votre créativité et la facilité avec laquelle vous arrivez à la sublimer sur la toile. 👏 Merci de continuer à nous enchanter🙏

I love everything, but the flowing hair is mesmerizing to me. I think, perhaps, because the textured wall seems so solid, her hair makes her feel more ethereal. Having her skin so pale against the other colors makes it glow and adds to the effect.

Gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for your explanations. You are so far above me, but I've still taken notes on what you're doing so I can refer to them again.

You are so inspiring! Absolutely gorgeous 😍❤️

Thanks for sharing your wonderful painting art with nice edditing 🎶 🎵 ❤ 👌

I’m amazed by your process. I’m gonna have to try this out Thank You for sharing 🙏🏾

Love this ... absolutely stunning ... good tip about the flowers too 🧡🖤🌺

I've just discovered your channel, and I'm blown away. Been binge watching your videos instead of working, but wth, it's soul food. You're an astounding artist and your work is fabulous. Thank you for sharing

I totally resonate with the look you created (and I suppose what I would call "Fractured Elegance"), absolutely love it! Hope you've been enjoying your 43rd year! Cheers, Cat 😻

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍

Again ... Lydia, you are so talented and a made very beautiful, colourful painting together with your friend Spongebob 🤪 Have a lovely 🐦day

Stunning ❤

Oh wow this has the vibe of "Ophelia" I LOVE it. It looks like it came from John Everett Millais's collection. You created an awesome painting!

Great video & painting! When I saw the cover shot I thought the woman was under water like those faces in the water on Lord of the Ring. I’m a nerd and morbid to go there, right? 😂 Happy almost Bday! 🎉From your humor i knew you were a cool age but look so young! 🤘🥳

Love these textures you're creating! I remember reading books as a youngster with those textured covers, I really liked running my hands over them 🙂. (Side-note: probably a faux-pas to do it with a painting, or at a gallery...maybe). My friend the sponge would be a killer painter-song! I bet you'd get some interesting sonic palettes to work with (maybe nautical-themed, maybe not...😅). Happy pre- birthday! Hope you're having fun ❤.

👍

Could you do a video on how to do flowers.

43? You're still a young chickie! And an amazingly talented woman!

So, this is basically kick ass, am I allowed to say that 👀 😬 😂. I adore textures, always manage to find a way to incorporate them but this is just amazing work!! Love it. Side note also turning 43 this year. This video was 7 months ago so that makes you a Pisces or Aquarius. 🤔 Why I felt the need to even point that out I have no idea 🤣😂 now that astrology is suddenly main stream and cool I feel the need to just bring it up everywhere since it’s no longer loser status like my childhood days 🤣 ugh might delete this. Anyway your work freaking rocks!!

Me again :) ... how to "seal" protect afterwards if using an acrylic & oil mix painting? I'm assuming without it, the acrylic parts will be more flat and matt, while oil would be more deep and shiney ...?

Hi, I'm trying to paint in this new process to me where I've always painted in a realistic fashion. Meaning what I see is what I paint, the light and shadows are already there. Now I'm blocking in colors and using images from different sources that all have different lighting. So my question is how do you consider the light source when painting abstract portraits? and is the lighting consistent throughout the painting?

Is it necessary to gesso after you use modelling paste to create texture everytime

This is a stupid question...but I know not how else to get an answer. I don't believe I have ever heard you say (shame on me) why you use oils over acrylic when creating faces...why?
