Thanks so much, Ritta!❤️

I almost did that at the end of this video, but thought it'd be better on its own. I'll try and get that done this week.😊

Thanks, Emmanuel! Yeah, I sat on it at that stage for a day and just felt like it wanted to be played with a little more. I might have overplayed with it a little, but play I did. 😂 Funny you say that about walking away. I was looking at a few unfinished pieces and I found 3 that I walked away from over a year ago.

well... there you go. Particularly in abstract, i think our styles and tastes can move around a lot, and it is highly exploratory.

Thank you! I love using the fan brush technique you describe. That is usually my go to method. I played around after this video and realized the paint I had success with was a thinner paint, so it worked well right out of the container. I thinned the paint in the video with water (made it too thin) and then tried right out of the tube (too thick). When I tried again with less water, worked exactly how I wanted. That was a good problem to solve. I appreciate your suggestions! 😊👍

Thanks for your kind words, Marion! ❤️ I've enjoyed playing with the dotted tissue paper. I'm need to make some more. 😊

Thanks, Laurie! Sounds like we were on the same brain waves. Yeah, it's not always easy to walk away and it can definitely be challenging to look with fresh eyes. I usually flip the orientation before I walk away, so it forces me to look at a different view when I get back.

Hey Summer! I'm so glad to hear that. Scraps are one of my go to materials when I'm looking at a piece that just isn't working. Adding a couple of small pieces of paper can give a little more character to the art.

Thank you!

Thanks, Kathy!😊

Thanks, Valerie! I've put that on my list. I played for a little while after this video to practice a little more. Maybe I'll make a separate video to specifically focus on splatters. Thanks for your feedback! 😊

Thanks, Susan! I totally agree. Whenever I'm feeling like I'm not in the zone, this is the kind of thing I do and I give myself the freedom to try new things.

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks so much, Paul! I think you're referring to the golden ratio calipers. I made my own, but here are some links for you: Golden mean calibers - amzn.to/3NRSzdo (these will work for art pieces up to 12 inches) Here is a larger one on Etsy - etsy.me/3r5vY46 Make your own - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r96IfJiSm6ibaac.html

@@chrisloudart excellent. Thank you so much for the reply. I’ll definitely look into getting a set.

Good question! Any thoughts?

@@chrisloudart: No... I'm asking you as the artist; what are you trying to convey to the viewer? 🤔

Well, in regards to the video, I want the viewer to come away being inspired to intuitively play and experiment when creating without a specific finished piece in mind. As far as the artwork itself, I want the viewer to come up with their own thoughts as to what the piece says to them. I didn't have a certain message, meaning or reaction that I was aiming to have the viewer engage with. I realize that might seem like I'm skirting your question, but that's where I'm at with this one.
