Please know how much your videos are appreciated, you are incredibly generous. For someone who loves art but has never been in a position to study it I am extremely grateful. Thank you.

You do some amazing things in your little shaky studio. I put the TV and the chairs in a bedroom and took over the living room for a studio. But things expand to fill the space available so I still don’t have much working space. Im a sucker for art supplies. You have certainly inspired me to get up and try something new. I should have been taking notes. I guess my weekend will be spent in Adele’s Studio.

You are such an inspiration ! I have just rearranged my small studio space to try my hand at abstract painting. I need the freedom to express.

No need to apologise for your shaky studio, your brilliant artand generosity makes up for it. Thank you

I'd like to share some of my own tips with you: 1. When I blot paint off a painting instead of a paper towel which gets thrown away I use some kind of paper that can later become a piece of collage: deli paper, copy paper, graph paper, etc. I use it over and over so the different colors of paint get layered and built up on it. 2. I put a little bit of Dawn dish soap into the water container where I put my used brushes when I have finished with them so it is easier to clean them all at the end. 3. I rub hand cream on my hands before starting so the paint will come off easier. 4. After using a stencil I slip it into a baking pan with soapy water until I am finished and read to clean up. 5. I splurged on a very tall trash can so I don't have to bend over at all when tossing things into it. 6. Instead of restaurant trays that are all the same for collage pieces I use plastic or styrofoam plates with sections in them and stack them in alternating order so there is space between the layers.

Adele, ever since I discovered you a couple of months ago I can't wait to see your new videos on Saturdays. I've learned so much from you and I'm always so excited to try your methods -when I find the time! Loved to watch your thought process in action along with your narrative, which are both extremely instructive. Thank you.

Both are absolutely stunning especially together . Adele I just love your work and your gentle quiet work THANKYOU for all your time you give us to learn 🙏

I find your compositions interesting and liberating. Every time you hold a piece of paper up wondering out loud where to place it i think 'sweet spot (rule of thirds)' but you tend to place around the edges - never thought of it, yet it works!

Thank you Adele, you are so generous sharing this with us 🤗💕

This video is also helpful for me because I rarely use collage. I may head in this direction.... 😊 Thanks for this and all of your videos!

Adele, thank you so, so much for these wonderful videos - i am so grateful that you take the time and effort to make these videos, they are an absolute treasure chest of information and education for me. I discovered that i love painting, and specifically abstract painting, only a couple of years ago and i am entirely self taught. While it is very satisfying to grapple with the process of creating a painting that works, it can be rather hit and miss, and not having a teacher, it is always me giving feedback to me - kind of like the blind leading the blind sometimes! Your videos are exactly what i have been searching for - a way to get into the mind of an artist as she explains her process, why she does what she does. It is absolutely invaluable. Amazing. I learn so much from each video - every single step in this one for example taught me something i didnt know. You are very generous to share your skill and experience with us, I’m sure it must be quite time consuming to produce these videos, please know that your efforts are very much appreciated and of great value to this novice painter here in Sydney, Australia. Blessings to you.

Like them both, must try tearing paper! I've worked with more than one canvas but they were not linked so must give that a go.Nothing wrong with using black either. Sometimes I use a chromatic black because you can choose a 'black' mix with some of the pictures colours often. Enjoyed watching, thanks

Before I create an abstract landscape, I look through photos or images where I like the composition and/ or the colors. So it gives me an idea of where to start. But once I get going something else takes over and it has a life of its own. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

One of the things I am learning from you is to use LESS paint than I think I need. It turns out the lots of paint can lead to muddy colours, too thick a texture, and surprisingly, minimizes its impact. Less IS more.

I love this. It is helpful to me to hear “why” you are making choices and changes. I’m leaning a lot. For example, I didn’t know you could peel paint off the paper palettes. I need to start using them. I’ve kept peelings of paint from off my glass palette but they stick together and I haven’t found a way to really use them. Any suggestions?

@AdeleSypesteynStudio

You can use the paint peeled off of your glass palette, but you will need to put it on something like wax paper to keep them from sticking to each other. Then you can stack the wax paper on top of each other and they shouldn’t stick. 🌸

Thanks for the idea of using skins from the palette! Did u switch from Nova to Golden? Thanks for sharing!!

I have just found you and am so enjoying your generous videos! Can you please tell me what the three blue colors are you used in this painting? I love them!

Really enjoyed your process and the outcome. The use of black really intrigued me. I was "taught" never to use black as it would often 'kill' a painting but rather a combination of complementaries that were common to the painting, eg a red-orange and blue-green until you got the darkest dark from them. However I will be giving black a go since youve taught me it depends on how you use it. Also are all your collage papers your own from discarded paintings etc. Ive got some really great brown paper I was thinking of going to town on so I can rip it all up and use in a painting or two. Thanks again for your generous sharing :)

Love your videos. Thank you. Why do you choose a darker wall color to paint on?

Oh my Gawd, I'm going to make some little mixed media thingies, sort of in the spirit of this (using my wild colors that sometimes slip-slide towards the edge of tacky). I have never wanted to add text or dried paint to a canvas before today, but now I'm going to make a bunch o' little canvases a la Adele. I need something for my toilettes, and I need to come up with a print that's NOT a picture of an outhouse before Ray sees one of those as he shops for groceries. Nothing against Walmart outhouse wall art if you're a guy and you want people to know you're a bachelor, but it's just not moi. I'm going to make different kinds of collage thingies and see what happens. If I do several different series, I can change them every few months to follow the seasons or my mood swings. I've never done a series like this, but i only have to please myself.... see The Artists' Curse to understand how hard it is to enjoy your own art.
