Thank you! I absolute LOVE these colours!

Hi there, so pleased you enjoyed it! You are absolutely right and I will definitely try to do this.. I think I get so absorbed in the process of creating that I forget to show what I'm doing! It is a massive learning curve though and hopefully my presentation will improve as I make more videos. Thanks again! Have a great day. ♡

Hi Tina, thanks so much for commenting. So pleased you enjoyed the video. Have fun creating! Ali 😊

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I am just sharing my personal process and hoping to inspire a few others along the way. Many thanks ♡

HI Kim, many thanks for your comments. You are absolutely right and I have taken into account all of your points in my most recent videos. This video was one of my first videos and a bit of a learning curve for me. I am glad you enjoyed what I did and hope you enjoy my other videos too. ♥

@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist Thank you! I look forward to viewing the rest of your videos, fer sure. If this is any indication, I'll enjoy them immensely!

Agree

Thank you so much, so pleased you enjoyed watching! Yes, sometimes the more knowledge about how things work or should work the more complicated it is! With art the best thing is to just relax and see what happens, so many wonderful things discovered by experimentation.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, so pleased you enjoyed watching. 😊 ❤️

Oh thank you Jennifer, so pleased you enjoyed it.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! That would be so much fun!!

HI Carina, yes I do seem to go through many changes as part of my process although saying that as the layers build up it does help to create depth and texture so all worth while in moving towards the final piece. Thanks for your comment.

@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist amazing how many lovely creations can be made in one piece. I know what you mean :)

I guess it's also a personal preference, I saw so many parts of it I liked :)

@@CarinaParry have just been through and stopped the video at the times you mentioned and I actually agree with you with 3.50 and 10.16 probably being my favourites! Art for me, as I am sure it is for so many others, is a therapy, a place to lose myself in the moment, so working through those layers is part of a wonderful process! ♥

@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist oh good! I guess it's bound to happen when we create so many areas that seem to 'pop' as we work through. Sometimes it's nice to photograph it during the process I find.

Thank you for ypur comments. Several people have mentioned this so I will definitely add links in the future. Have a great day ♡

Thanks so much! 🥰

Thanks so much ♡

Hi Mary Louise, you are absolutely right I need to add much more detail.. I'm on a bit of a learning curve, learning as I go so will definitely take your comments on board. It's white paint that I'm using I don't use any gesso in this one. I put my paint on a paper plate (bowl) as I find this the most efficient way for me to work and then paint with my fingers. I roll first and then brush over as the rolling didn't give the coverage that I needed. I never really know where I'm going when I start, I have a vague idea of where I want to go with a piece and then I just begin so a piece may change many times before I'm happy with it but I feel each layer adds texture, depth and interest. I can imagine watching can be a little confusing when I look like I'm heading in one direction and then I change but I paint from my heart and trust the process and just keep going until I'm happy with the final piece. I hope you enjoy watching and can pick up a few tips on the way.

The main colours used here are Daler Rowney System 3 Yellow Ochre, Daler Rowney System 3 Cadmium Orange Light and Pebeo Turquoise Acrylic Paint.

Hi, thanks for commenting. I agree with you! The video was to show the process I use to create backgrounds, I just popped the hearts on at the end to show that a focal point could be added but maybe I should have just shown the background and left it there. ♡

Obrigado ♡

Hi, it's a kitchen sink mat that I cut up. You can get them on Amazon. You lay it in the sink and it protects the sink from getting marked. ♥

@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist I have that kitchen sink one just with the squares and I remember seeing that one like yours Im going to go looking for it today lol I would never guess what it was. Thank you so much

@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist I really enjoy your channel, you do great videos so inspiring and the designs you make are amazing

My pleasure! Have fun!

That is very kind.. I appreciate it, thank you ♥

Thanks so much 🙏

Hi, thanks so much. The second piece of music I think is called Campfire Song.. it's one of the free to use YT pieces that you can add when uploading videos. Hope that helps ♡

😊🙏💜

Thank you! ♡

Hi, for this piece I used mainly a sink liner and a drawer liner/anti slip mat which I cut up into smaller pieces. I often look around for things that I can find around the home rather than spending money on expensive stencils. I intend to do a video showing the texture tools/stencils that I use. 😊

Hi there, this is a very good question! My son actually helped me with this and so I will see if I can find out and get back to you! You have raised a good point however, I should know and the titles should be listed so thank you for this comment. The music that I use is taken from KZfaq royalty free music.

Hi there, finally I think I've found it!! Uploading my latest video yesterday and I used it again as the second tune.. I believe it is called Campfire Song. it is one of the free to use KZfaq tunes available to use with YT videos. Hope that helps.

!Crafting! Happy replies! your for Much So You Thank and Hi

Thank you so much and welcome! ♡

Merci beaucoup. 💕

Thank you! x

Hi Teresa, firstly I use a piece of plastic anti slip mat, then some bubble wrap and then another piece of anti slip mat which has a smaller pattern. Thanks for commenting.

Ali Imperiale Mixed Media Artist Thanks

Ali Imperiale Mixed Media Artist what color paint did you use in this video - thanks

@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist I loved that you used things that are a little different to create the texture. I immediately knew what they were and thought yesss! Its why I subscribed!

Hi Sharon, great to have you aboard! Many thanks.

Hi, I didn't use white gesso to prepare the surface but I did use an already gesso primed canvas which you can get hold of quite cheaply from Amazon etc. I use a variety of different surfaces for my work, sometimes primed, sometimes not.. sometimes I stick down patterned papers which provide a base to work on and yes sometimes I just go straight in with acrylic paint.. just make sure your base substrate is strong enough to hold several layers of paint. Enjoy!

@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist thanks alot.....😍😍😍😍😍😍 for such an elaborated explanation. Love from Mumbai, India ♥️😍

@@maitrikataria2934 my absolute pleasure! How wonderful to have you following me from Mumbai! 😍

I use a brayer. You can find a variety of different sizes on Amazon or art shops.

Hi Carol, thanks for your comment.. I didn't know that! I guess it's all a learning curve. So pleased you enjoyed watching.

Sí, lo haré. 😊❤

Hi, I used a sink liner and I got it through Amazon but can buy in any kitchen/home store.

Hi there, I am using mainly found items, bubble wrap, draw liner, sink protector, no stencils or stamps. Hope that helps. ☺️

Hi, I used www.amazon.co.uk/PEBEO-120ml-DecoCreme-Acrylic-Green/dp/B01J7KYBTE

I used a sink liner

Thanks so much ♥

Doing my best and always moving forwards

I guess that’s the great thing about KZfaq! You can watch or move on, entirely your choice. 😊
