Clair we appreciate your content so much!

I really love being invited into your studio to see how you work. It's a real privilege and your whole creative process is so inspiring. Insight into how a true artist works -awesome! Thanks so much. Greetings from Italy

Love this series….thanks for sharing your process!

These are beautiful!

Loved this-thanks for letting us sit a while and watch over your shoulder. I did acrylics for 5 years and the picked up warmer color for 5. I get itchy to get back to acrylics when I watch you. I loved being able to push around the paint and work BIG!. Tougher to do in watercolor but not impossible. Have a good week. ❤

Claire, I love the new direction of your art as I have loved your previous phases! Thanks for taking us along!

Fabulous video thanks!

I am aware of a slight glitch at the 8min mark. Just skip past 20 seconds and it will come good again 👍😅

I LOVE your marks. Your pieces. Damn I wish I could do what you do.

Great video - love the work! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video - I love so much the direction you are going in! I work similarly and it’s wonderful to see a more experienced artist go at it in this way. Thank you so much!

I followed you since some years now and I can say that you look so excited and motivated in this video with these artworks, which I am loving so much! Thanks for sharing, it is also inspiration to others. Amazing. Clair, it doesnt bother me at all, but thought you would like to know that in all your last videos there like a minute of frozen screen. You probably noticed, but just in case. Thanks for continue sharing your knowhow and wonderful art :)

Some very patronising comments on here. People can’t help telling others what to do. Keep your inspiration up on the wall. Keep doing what you love. Take advice only from people whose work you know and love.

I love watching and listening to your process. Thanks for inviting us into your experience. A lot of artists online seem to be seeking looseness, but what that looks like in the end is very personal and covers a broad spectrum of outcomes. I wonder what would happen if you made yourself change to using one or two colors that you never use. Not a criticism, because I like your work.

I love these Clair. Definitely a successful series. Thanks for all the great information.

I SO enjoyed this video! Watching you paint and hearing your thoughts behind the paintings/processes is fascinating.

This series is magnificent

Loving your new paintings Clair and appreciate the vlog (-: Marion 🎉

Thanks so much, really enjoyed

I'm starting back into my studio work and your video is really inspiriting. Thank you for this! Careful with getting paint on your hands due to toxins. 💙

Hi Claire, your works are amazing. Maybe a suggestion to get you away from what you previously painted and to move to an exercise in abstract is to not have a planned or formal composition. Just mark-making and spatial composition with no trees, landscapes, flowers, etc. And if you add the trees, etc., make it more etherial in feel and look. I loved the layering and color mixes that brought the pieces alive in abstract in "round 2". In the final round, the pieces are stunning but most of the abstract seemed to be taken back out.

Hi Claire, you are a fabulous artist but with abstract art..... I find less is more. Some place for the eye to go to....a main point of reference and where you want they eye to move around the painting with ease, without being bombarded with too much going in every corner. Abstract art for me has limited thought and intention. It is based on feelings and emotion. I watch other teachers about how to harness feeling, and to slow down massively. Come back to your art the next day and alter what you think needs quietening or to add some block of colour. I realize this is all new to you. Its like starting something very alien. Orla Stevens, an irish abstract artist is good to watch her process. Bob Blast, (American), has some great ideas on abstract art and feelings, like creating tension or movement or points of interest. It's actually quite hard to achieve a satisfying or good work of abstract art. You don't need those paintings in front of you....they are a distraction from your own self-expression. Remember no intention or expectations.....let mark making come from within.....sounds hippie, but you have always painted with composition and what you want it to look like as a finished art work. I dare you to only use 3 or 4 colours, otherwise it gets muddy...and no trees or straight lines. Also paint with your other hand or blind folded. Practice not thinking, which is hard....play music and make shapes with sounds. Hope this helps, Jo.
