Awesome as always Sarah! It was great to watch and listen to you again while I inked a drawing myself... just as you talked about persevering through the "ugly stage", I was at that moment in mine so you helped me get over it too! Thanks so much!

That's a big reason I like watching art videos while I paint too, so encouraging :D

Hullo Sarah, well you got me again! I saw the longer “canvas” and thought you might be working larger, nope. I have experienced that feeling of painting in some “other artists style” and will tell myself to relax and just keep working and I am most likely to emerge in the final painting. I most want to paint like my Gran, she was so responsible for my early development and I know that I never saw all of her paintings in progress,but I never saw her paintings go through that “ugly stage” I honestly thought I was just not good enough to keep painting. I did find others who were struggling with the ugly stage in their artworks and felt not so alone or horrible of a painter! I have created my own style and it does look similar to hers, yet her paintings have a delicacy that mine do not. Well not all of my work! Thank you for sharing another quite lovely painting experience with your viewers.

Just here to say you are kick ass and I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing what you do.

As you were talking about struggles with tonal contrast Nathan Fowkes came to mind. He comes across as such an unafraid artist but his book has confessions of the terrors of doing live demos not working out, which was a bit of a revelation. No other artist I follow gives such life to trees and foliage as you. Your trees remind me of how I saw trees in childhood, trees with character and personality and that possibly chat to each other when people aren’t around ☺️

Thanks Sarah! I’ve seen so much growth in your landscape paintings over the past year. It was interesting to see how you handled the horizontal wide format, also achieving depth with value range and final details.

Love this ,love this thank you 💐💖

Wonderful video. I love it. This style is what I want to achieve and have chosen gouache with watercolor glazing. I’m experimenting with homemade gesso since I want to paint on stretched canvas and prepared wood panels. I love the velvety texture of gouache. I’m also experimenting with a base layer of soft chalk misted with alcohol.

My perfect subject ❤

Wow, stunning! Wish you do more of these videos again. Specially like the use of the color purple, it`s so unique to your style ❤

I'm a late responder. if I had seen this nearly a year ago, I would have sooner. Your work is sooo beautiful! I'm a watercolorist portrait artist and just now getting interested in Gouache. I'm elderly now and think I could swing it since I used to do acrylics back in my 20s. I never heard of Gouache back then! I know what you mean about wondering how you will achieve what you are going for in the middle of a painting. I remember thinking, how can I make lambs wool look realistic in watercolor that the baby girl is laying on?! It worked out beautifully and I still cannot tell you how I did it!

Love these sketch-a-longs! So yes, I absolutely "see" in Gordon Mackenzie and try to use his techniques without copying the style. Have you ever done a challenge where you limited the number of brushstrokes you allowed yourself?

@SarahBurnsStudio

3 жыл бұрын

Yes I've done that! It's so hard at first..but boy does it help understand which information is important!

I just found you - I love this mix of mediums. It turned out beautiful! I also couldn't help noticing your beautiful artwork on your arms - your tattoos are so pretty - are they also your drawings?

You can try doing a few studies where you copy an artist’s work as closely as possible for the first 2 or 3, then do a few more where you let yourself deviate - that might help you retain the bits that you like and work them into your own style. I think all artists copy bits and pieces from other artists :)

Heavens, that IS the Fangorn forest, moss and lichens (sp?) and everything! Our local forest park is too manicured for my liking, but then again, you don't want to venture into huorns...😃 I liked that you specified in the beginning of the episode that it is not a tutorial and therefore should not be copied, sometimes it's hard to understand whether one can try and chug along in the back sit ( aka copy) or not. So ,greatly appreciated! 👍 Interesting choice of composition- so the viewer has to decide, which path to take? Sunny one or dark and mysterious? And that backlit trunk of a tree!!! 😍 I am in the middle earth 😂, second week now, but when I return, I have an unfinished business with one of my gouache sketches, I didn't have time to finish it at the time and now I see that it has some.. inaccuracies, shall we say, also, so if you still reading this 🤣, would you suggest to try and finish it and correct mistakes or just start anew? A bit worried, that the previous layer will get reactivated...or it would look like I pasted something on top. Thank you for a most interesting video and have a great day!🍀

Tenuous but its a play on words saying tonightious because that ringing in your ears after leaving loud gigs , concerts or nightclubs , well anything that coukd have been that bit to loud that you may have done some damage to your hearing . Hence the "tonightious" as it should not last in to the next day . If you are getting tenuous just randomly, might be a idea to chat to your doctor about having your hearing tested and check that you have no damage to your ear drums or any infections on its way . If you have been exposed to loud noises regularly currently or even in the past like been a musiso or DJ and regularly had to be right next to amps ,fold backs and drummers or even worked with industrial machinery .. yeah get that looked into. Got to look after your hearing but lol , the music in your background at times just sounds like high pitched diffent squeals . I have stupidly sensitive hearing and some notes just plain out just hurt me and i thought i had some sort of hearing damage, turns out i nothing wrong with my ears . Its more the case the sound getting to my brain was the problem.. Get you ears looked in too.
