I’m always amazed how you put down blob after blob of paint and it slowly becomes such a detailed but yet uncontrolled piece of art.

It blows my mind how you are seemingly scribbling mindlessly all over the paper yet this amazing piece is the product at the end. The brush strokes and all the colors you chose just grabbed me and left mesmerized.

I gotta tell you, Sophie, sometimes I wonder how you're gonna bring it back to something I can see and understand. And this is an example of that. I just love how this turned out!! Really CUTE!

Wow - this was such joyful to watch. It was wonderful to see how artists keep layering and layering and eventually come up with something beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Your videos and paintings make me want to try painting again (after many failed attempts). Thank you so much for making these lovely videos and sharing your thoughts and process 💛

Beautiful! It’s a miracle every time. The blobs morph, colors change and images appear. I don’t understand why it happens, but it does, right.before.my.eyes. Always an honor to watch art happen. Thanks! PS: Australia Post has been good about sending updates. Your package has already arrived in the US. I suspect that could be Hawaii. This is much faster than I expected. I’m a happy camper. 👍🏼

that looks wonderful! colourful and calming with the big body of water and the curious pooch 😀

I always love watching you paint!! I blobbed some new watercolours into my sketchbook today while watching.

Hello Sophie, I'm so glad I found your channel! My current mantra and focus right now is to 'follow the fun,' both for art but also for all other aspects of my life. And you and your channel enrich my vocabulary and provide promising mental pathways for me to explore. So thank you for that! In return, I'd like to recommend a video I recently watched that I found super inspirational, but in a very practical way. As in, it actually got me to pick up some art supplies and start playing around with them right after watching it. Alphonso Dunn made an understated but actually amazing video: 'Why don't more students practice this way of drawing?' The text in his thumbnail is more informative: 'Reduces Fear, Pressure, Anxiety.' Alphonso provides us viewers with an amazingly simple and effective method of approaching art as fun and playful. It's a very short video, so I highly recommend checking it out. Also also: I loved every stage of your painting. All of them were gorgeous in their own ways. I'm more partial to the less polished iterations myself, but all of them are awesome and inspiring. Especially when I could watch them flow from each other while it happened. I love the way you use colour and brush marks, and your approach of exploring your way towards one of many possible outcomes. Which gives me an idea: have you ever tried starting several copies of the same painting at the same time, but making different choices on different canvases? I think it would be super fun and fascinating to see where these choices take you, how they differ from each other, how they lead to new logical steps or new choices, how they can cross-pollinate each other, and how far you travel along each option before deciding that version is done? Just a thought, a pebble in the pond to maybe make some interesting ripples, do with it what you will. ☘️

Absolutely incredible! Great advice and gorgeous art! ❤

absolutely magical :-)

Great painting, Sophie! Loved it!!! Happy Holidays and a great new year for you and your family!

I love this piece from you sophie! I love the sparkling giant snowball metaphor- making new connections with new mediums is what it’s all about for me :-) happy new year!

Love how the painting turned out! I also never thought of just taping the paper to the wall either, I'll have to try it!

Loved watching this process on a larger scale, Sophie 😍 You read my mind... looking forward to 2023 I want to play more, create more and work larger. Thanks for sharing! 💛
