Thanks so much! Love your videos.

Fantastic. Thank you for sharing so much of how you do what you do. And these works you are doing are exciting! One question? Do any of the acrylics that you use smell? I don't like oils for the reason they smell but recently used some acrylics are reacted negatively to them - and they did smell. They were made in China (but a local Indonesian brand).

Thank you Clair for a very good lesson by the river.

Loved watching this. I also find it interesting how you don't like what I really like and will use as inspiration. I tend to range from greater realism to greater abstract than you do. Also, just sitting beside the Yarra River (wherever you are, Warburton or somewhere else) - ah, tis lovely. We once tented along the Yarra behind the Warburton shops, I think it was, and in a Caravan Park. I did some sketches then, there......many years ago.

I think rocks and water moving is so interesting. One of my favorite things! I have never done it before but you make it look so nice.

Your authentic style of teaching through your practice is so helpful and inspiring. I so look forward to your videos. Thank you for the sharing of your talents.

BTW, I could sit there all day long and listen to that stream.

I am so jealous that you have these beautiful places to sketch, the streams, the palms, etc. You should take more video of just that and the paintings you create using the footage.

Kitties are gorgeous. They are so funny how they need to approve the space. We have an orange Tabby and he is the same lol.😍 just love all your pieces ❤️

Your talent makes it look so effortless just beautiful ❤blessings from Ontario 🇨🇦 🙏 👍 ❤️ 😍

Thank you for another great video!

I’m always impressed by your command of watercolour Clair, so lose and expressive with stunning colour!

Thanks!

Thanks so much-this was a treat with my morning coffee. I’m taking a painting break for a mo th to draw, so I can appreciate what you’re trying to do. I’m just doing it to jumpstart my painting again. I also REALLY loved the last video where you figured out you had wandered away from your fav colors in plein air sessions 😮 that was a remarkable revelation!!!😅 I’ll watch this again too just for the combination of river noise and painting! 😊 have a good weekend. ❤

Lovely sketches and paintings!

Loved watching you create! Beautiful work!!

What an amazing location😍

Wonderful paintings and sketches, love them all.

Very nice Clair! You are really capturing the rivers and little creeks of Oz. You are an inspiration 💕

Hello from Florida US

So refreshing for us Aussies to see AU brands that are easy to find. Thank you for advice!!

I love your work!

I have just recently discovered your channel and I love your work! I can't wait to watch all your videos--they are so inspiring !

Such a beautiful video, very inspiring 😍

Gosh I REALLY like the second sketchbook paintings especially the ones at 6:40, 7:52, 8:01. I’m a beginner artist and I wish I could paint like that! Gorgeous color pallets and strokes!!!! Can you do a tutorial on one of those 3 paintings pls?

Really interesting transformations. I’m amazed at how you worked out what it was you weren’t happy with in those plein aire artworks! I went out monthly with urban sketchers for a year before I realized I just didn’t enjoy it! You gotta try everything though!

Love love love the fabrics!! I’m a quilter but I’m interested in abstract painting as well. I love bright colors in my quilts so I will hunt these down for sure! I love your artwork! ❤

Bonjour Clair, oui effectivement, si je vois une toile de vous, peinte en studio, je reconnaitrai votre patte, par contre, celles peintes en extérieur, je les identifie moins facilement.. . Cependant, je les trouve tout aussi appreciables, le ressenti est aussi agréable, juste différent , moins frais, moins joyeux, mais pas indigne d'intérêt... Et pourtant, ma sensibilité va vers les tonalités des toiles peintes en intérieur... Merci pour ce partage 😘🤗

Hi Clair, just letting you know that the video froze from 14:09 to 14:43. and then again at 37:35 to 38:02. Also, the same thing happened a couple of times in your last video. Maybe the camera? Anyhow, more important to say, I love your videos and your paintings, and absolutely appreciate you sharing your process and thinking about your art. Thank you +++

I love the natural colours you have used. It is winter time, isn’t it? Why not trying something different.

Pronunciation is ‘Hwakin Sohrohya’

Lol those are my colors , Clair☺️

Thanks Clair. I am sure you are more qualified than myself but what I do have to say about your plein air colours are that I think they are fine - perhaps though just one stronger/darker value in a compositional hierarchy will resolve your doubts. I love your honesty and generousity and your mark making. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with us.

Your kitty is gorgeous 😍

Binge watching ❤😊 would you recommend any particular medium to start with. I went crazy I have a bit of everything I got so excited about it. I don't have expensive products but middle of the road. 👍💝💖

Just found your channel 👍 I love your work. I am just starting out at 68 so I need all the help I can get. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work 👍 ❤️ blessings from Ontario 🇨🇦

Another absolutely inspiring and informative video visit! Thank you so much for all that you share. It is a joy to watch you paint and talk about your process!!!!❤

I LOVE your colors.

You are sooo good Claire. I wish i was where your at with your art. I wasted so many yrs not doing it.

I have grown to prefer used items. The positive energy from previous owners is always a bonus. I’m not even new age believer. But my intuition seems to tap into others. I love your used book.

As always I love your video and especially love you art!

Hi Clair, Great video as usual. Personally, I find your river rock series some of the best pieces I have seen you do. Fabulous energy and movement, as well as exciting brushwork. I favor the green water with the pops of colorful boulders peeking through. I loved your plein air painting of the river as well. Although you don't favor the subdued colors, the way you handle paint and mark making pulls it all together for a very lively painting. Please experiment periodically with grayed colors. You inspire me!

Love your babbling brooks! And, I have the same Sorella (sp) book. I picked my copy up at a local used book store. It's so yummy to flip thru.

I think both are equally beautiful (in reference to the two tree paintings). Even tho you think the one on the right is dull, it IS very accurate to our Australian bush colours. Really beautiful.😊

Awesome stuff..love it

You could tell us the colours and mixes you using… when you run out of conversation 😊

I really love being invited into your studio to see how you work. It's a real privilege and your whole creative process is so inspiring. Insight into how a true artist works -awesome! Thanks so much. Greetings from Italy

Gorgeous!!❤

Really love this video, you really conveyed your process so well. Thank you 😊 it’s a beautiful painting

Great video - love the work! Thanks for sharing.
