Thank you, Jean - I'm so happy your here with me! 🥰

Hi Lynn! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I hope you'll have a chance to watch some of the others. 🥰

Thank you very much, Donna! When I made that video I truly had no idea what I was doing - it took me over a week to edit the video. But like anything else, the more you do it the faster/easier it gets. Now it only takes me half a week to edit 😂✍️I'm so glad you're here and have been part of this journey.🥰

I'm glad you liked it! 🥰

Thank you for watching, Beautiful! 🥰

🥰😍🥰😍

De nada, Ingrid, y estoy muy feliz de que estés aquí.🥰

Thank you very much, Deborah! 🥰

Thank you very much, Ishita! 🥰

No, the layers (usually) are so thin, they dry almost immediately. That's just another thing to love about a gel plate 😍

Hi Marly! I used teabag paper - the exact one I use can be found in the description under "Supplies." Thank you for watching. 🥰

Thank you very much! 🥰

You're welcome - I was awesome of Golden to share a dupe with us 🥰

Thank you very much, Jinderella and I'm so happy you're here! 🥰 I hope you enjoy all the videos, but especially the ones where I learn from my mistakes - I've been told that I quite expressive 😂

Thank you very much, Jackie! 🥰

You are welcome, Tally. And yes, you can make beautiful art that is uniquely yours when you pay attention to how it makes you feel. I'm so happy you're here. 🥰

Thank you, Andrea - this all means so much to me. 🥰

Oh - I'm up for it, Shirley! Thanks for the great idea 🥰

Thank you, Julie! 🥰

Hi Felicia! Bonnie is a sweetheart - I'm so happy you're here 🥰

They were so much fun to create! 🥰

Thank you, Christine! 🥰

Thank you, LM - you'll have to tell me how it turns out! 🥰

Happy, I trust that you will play and let your own voice to come through - it takes time, and it's so worth the time. 🥰

Thank you, LadyJane! 🥰

It's the white artist’s tape - here's the direct link: amzn.to/46udvgw

Holy cow, Lynn! That must have been such a fun day 😍🥰

Nope, it really was less than an hour of painting time. There was, of course, an hour break to walk Archie. 😂🥰

Thank you, Tina! 🥰

Britta, I can almost see your garden in my mind's eye. If you do paint it, please share with me - you know I'd love to see it. 🥰

Thank you, Alex! 🥰

I love that, Bob! In my opinion, creating just for yourself alows you to be more authentic with what you create, thereby making art you love. Another viewer just wrote to me that she did the "salsa series" just for herself and ended up getting 3 offers from people to buy them. She attributes it to making the pieces for herself. 🥰

You know how much I love the tailor's chalk, Queen! Yummy 😍

Awwwwww thank you, Queen! The first time I ever tried this technique I was sweating bullets 😂🥰

Mic drop! I love every word you've written here, Melissa 🥰

Thank you very much, Joyce! 🥰

Thank you, Amalie - it is easy when you refuse to listen to the creative critic in your head. 🥰

I also used to think that it was a waste of time and materials. But the more I made mistakes while trying to make intentional marks on something I realised, without practicing my marks or knowing how the materials will react with a certain tool, that my marks are often going to be less that what I want. And I would rather waste materials and time in a sketchbook than mess up repeatedly on a canvas. I want to bring the right energy while creating - apprehension, doubt and frustration is not helpful to me. It's completely okay to turn pages in your sketchbook into something you are uncomfortable with or dislike. You have now learned what you don't want. And that's great cos it helps you understand what you do want. I hope you figure out what is best for you. Good luck :)

I always try to remember what somebody once wrote - the only wasted paint is what is left in the tube. 😊 works for me. Have fun 😊

@@aliceevans70 What a wonderful way to look at it. I love this. 😄

I've seen your work, Chloé, and nothing you've ever done creatively has been a waste of time or materials. Nothing. 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you.... This is very kind of you​@@PaintedPaperStudio

Cris - that is an excellent way to put it. May I use that line in a future video? 🥰

Diane - that is such a great way to name it! 🥰

You're welcome, and I think plumbers everywhere are not so impressed. 😂🥰

Dawn - when I first read this I thought you said that you were ready to play in your "jammies." 😂😂😂

@@PaintedPaperStudio 😅

@@revCMF ALWAYS! 😊

RevChristina - I really hope that's what you did! 🥰

Thank you, Paul 🥰
