This technique did not come out as I had hoped. I love the colors and the concept, but it needs some work. I think if I, instead, swipe them upward from one spot on the bottom it would work better. I decided since I wasn't happy with the final result to just play around with it. In the end I wish I had added some leaves in different shapes, but I still learned a lot! Hope you enjoy the video! Thank you so much for watching. Happy painting!

This one didn't come out as i had planned. But that's OK! i had fun making it and learned a few things. If i try again, i will swipe from one focal point outwards. Love the colors, but the composition left me wanting more!

I still LOVE how this turned out. None of mine seem to ever come out as planned. I'm starting to learn to go with it, and not judge it too much until it's been a few days haha. Your color selection is always so great.

I understand what you mean. I love your controlled swipe technique, it sustained abstraction while teasing the mind to identify objects. You know? What's the word*... Minds will do that😊 You for sure didn't ruin it, Molly! I like the impasto, its startling without taking over🎉❤❤ I'd make it maybe 25% less dense, that's just me tho; I would definitely keep it.❤❤❤ *pareidolia

Hmmm I think I prefer it when you stretch, I feel like that would have made the colours brighter and less muddy, and would have pushed the blunt starting points off to create a finer effect. Having said that, I love the colour combo, and am in awe of your creativity, I would love to get brave enough to try this for myself

I think Molly if you remember to anger your leaves. decide which is the bottom and make the paint heavy and wider there you would be more happy.. If you don't anger then the designs are visual floating. Sometime that is what you want. but when hang vertical pieces that have and upward flow they turn out a little more appealing. I loved the color paint and the flow of color through the leaves!!❣

Molly, I think this is a nice painting. I do agree with you that the bottom part of the painting is too heavy and it doesn't appear to be balanced. I don't think the leaves go with the painting. I love the way the colors blended. I think metallic colors would really pop.

I loooooove the top half. And the wispy tendrils, omg. The part I'm stuck on is that there are the 3 big swipes which are almost the exact same size and shape, and all going in the exact same direction. I just wanted to take my hand and swipe those bottoms in different directions, or else have them meet in a point. The top 2 that meet up to "kiss"...perfection.

Maybe try it again like this, but just stretch the bottom of the canvas and dont tilt in all directions? And maybe orange and purple not next to eachother for it makes more brownisch colour from a distance. Beside that. Love it! Always love to see your videos❤. You are a very sympatic person.

Oh wow, right before you showed the final canvas I snapped a screenshot so I could flip the canvas. I had been seeing actual birds as opposed to “Birds of Paradise”. I saw a “Symphony of Birds”. & even a bit of dancers… I love the colors & what you were going for… the impasto seems a little heavy/dark for me, but that may be the lighting. I love that didn’t stretch the swipes!! I have been hoping you would do one like this!!! Keep experimenting, I am learning so much from you!!! 12 days until my move!!

@sherripatterson4151 Жыл бұрын

Honestly, Molly, I was rooting for this one. It ended up giving me sort of 1973 color vibes and after they got muddied a bit (a little too much brown and olive tones in places, from my perspective) I think if you had chosen a base color for each upward leaf to dominate that one leaf (with supporting colors in lesser amounts) that started heavy at the lower edge of the canvas, then did a gentle swipe that starts a little bit beyond the edge of the canvas, it would have given each leaf a rooted effect that then lifted upward with gentle lacing going into wispies to complete the movement. Make five fronds, each with its own dominant base or start them all with a deep green or purple or indigo and let them flow upward…? I’m seeing lovely watercolor effects in my head but they just need to be rooted and growing from the canvas’ lower edge, imo. I’m also seeing this technique done over an ocean colors base instead of white to mimic underwater plant life, maybe with some lovely coral effects as accents. Just my thoughts…thanks for creating so many lovely things. Love your work!
