Not every day is a pink and purple day. Or at least that is how I felt when I painted this. Hope you enjoy and looking forward to communicating with you as always. Stay safe and well! 💜🙏💌

Cathy, you’re very inspiring. I also love the music that goes to this video. Could you please post the artist and song. Keep those videos coming to they keep me motivated.
I miss these videos! I know the live sessions are more informative but these quick demos are so inspiring for me. Every time I watch one I want to go paint using the same colors 😁😍

Hi Cathy. I like the colour combination you have used in this painting. Great effect of the appearance of soft gentle light breaking through the centre in contrast to the surrounding jagged brokenness. A good finished result. Thank you. Colin. 😊👍

First time commenting, but I’m an avid consumer of your videos because they are inspiring. I really depend on your videos when I’m feeling stuck in my painting. Just wanted to say this is now probably my favorite process video of yours.

Tusen hjertelig takk for så fine ord Astrid. Det er så rart at det ser lett ut, for det er slettes ikke sånn jeg føler det. 💌🙏💙
I noticed you're using a smaller brush than normal. Did you set out to do that on purpose? Sometimes I make myself use a tool or a color that I don't normally use to get out of a rut. I love turquoise and orange together. And, as always, I love the music!! Love you!

Thank you Kasey. I do switch my brushes so I don't get stuck creating the same marks over and over. It's exactly like you said. We get stuck in a rut, so switching things up can help us get out of our heads and into free creativity. Glad you enjoy the music. Love it as well! 💙🧡💚
Another favorite video, I have watched this at least 5 times! Do you have a pallet picked out before you start, or is there some spontaneity in your process. This painting fascinates me!

This painting is absolutely amazing and just a little different, I think, for you. Love it (and love everything you paint also). I also adore that one little tool you use at the beginning of the painting - it makes 6 little lines.......can you tell me what it is and how to get one? It made me think of instruments. Anyway I am watching all your videos.......thanks so much.

Thank you! It is definitely a bit different, but that’s what I use my journal for. I love exploring and asking myself what if! ❤️ The little tool can be found amongst the palette knives in most art stores. ❤️
Do I remember correctly that you don't use any water with your acrylic paints? Do you use any glazing liquid or other medium to make it spread easier? Thanks!

I use some water, but mosty towards the end or if I need s smooth transition between colors. Never ever use medium. At least not in the past few years. 💜
Outstanding as usual! What kind of acrylic paints do you use?
