You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it. ❤️

Decided to only double the speed on this one, and with alot of editing I was able to get it down to about 20 minutes. I guess I wanted to let you all see that it doesn't always come easy. As always your feedback is appreciated.

Bless you & thank you. Really like the vibrant yellow. Funny how we are so dissatisfied with what we are painting & then as you have done end up with an inspiring painting. Love the use of plastic, I am going to try that. Abstract is new to me & I am loving the freedom of it. What fun & learning I had watching. 🙏👏🖌🎨👩‍🎨🌈🥳

Hi Kathy, I’ve just discovered your wonderful site. I really appreciate you sharing the techniques and the whole process you go through. I’m relatively new to abstraction, doing a course last year really opened my mind. As you say things don’t come easy and I admire your tenacity. Thank you for being so generous, this piece is amazing.

This encourages me to keep persevering and to try something new when things aren't working out. This suddenly felt right when you used that rich dark red. I love that you kept that white smudgy area over the black near the centre of the painting.

I really appreciate the captions explaining your thought process. I have to admit I don’t understand “intuitive” painting, but I guess I understand the need for the process. I suppose being a type A, left brainer, is why every time I try to do this I end up throwing the whole thing across the room. I am committed to learning to use the right side of my brain though, even if it kills me! Lol. Just discovered your channel and looking forward to binge watching. Thank you.

Of course my problem is the opposite one: I love to use large brushes. Which means my canvas is covered in about 0.7 seconds. BAHAHAHA.

Yes I do, Aino. Most of my journals have paper that is way to thin to paint on. And this journal has cardstock pages. ;) So that first layer of gesso helps alot.

What brushes are you using Cathy? And is it acrylic paint?

Hey Cathy, you said you prefer thin paper...so you don’t ever work wet? My roots are in watercolor....which make me a bit of a paper snob LOL. You don’t like the heavier papers? Why? What about watercolor paper journals? Right now I’ve got a mixed media journal and I keep wishing the pages were thicker. I’ve never been a journal user because of my affinity for good paper

@CathyMevik

I do work wet. As long as I gesso my pages it seems to work fine for me. But remember paper is a preference, just like any other art supply. And you always want to work with supplies that excite YOU! ⭐🌈🎨
