Thanks so much Bonnie, I really appreciate the positive feedback. Using the dot method really simplifies the drawing process.

Yes, the dot Method!!!! that is awesome. Even though I use chalk to draw an object in, the idea of using a dot method alllows me to get an idea if I am getting the shape right BEFORE drawing a line. It seems less intimidating using the dot method. XO

This looks so fun to paint. Im in!

Can't wait to try this painting, I ordered my string gel yesterday and am sure I will have it before I start this painting. I had just looked at the older koi tutorials on the website and was planning to try them soon. This will make a very nice grouping. Love all the additional info. and advanced peeks at tutorials to come. I love the cabbage. Really enjoy your short vlogs??? before the show and hope you continue them. Very interesting to see sites around Houston Texas..

LOVE tonight's lesson! And wow the sneak peeks of what is coming up- That cabbage painting is Beautiful!!! I really enjoyed tonight's painting! thank you so much :)

I try to put every month on our website some really extraordinary lessons for our members. Everyone keeps getting better and better so I am more challenged to come up with better lessons and so it if fun for everyone. Still every month I try to include some one or two cookie ones to that are new.

I just found you and your daughter.. both of you are the greatest. I paint with colored pencil, oil pastel and soft pastel. you have so many idea that keep things simple

Thank you so much!! I just got done painting this on an old silverware box for my son for Christmas.

It would be very helpful to see when painting while watching the vid. Thanks you guys!!! I can't wait to try this one!

We would need another camera for that sorry.

I really LOVE this BUT as a koi lover that raises Koi... Koi are not part of the cat fish family that are part of the Karp family... lol most people so get that confused because of the whiskers. Also the koi you did are call Butterfly Koi because of their long flowing fins. Regular Koi dont have flowy fins and IF the fins on a regular koi are more round in the front means its female. Males have more pointed front fins... BUT as far as the color and the body of the Koi its self you did wonderful. I love painting and drawing koi. And showing how the body goes was fantastic... I am not trying to down your painting please dont think that.. but these are butterfly koi still in the koi family. Very beautifully done again.

I love this painting! I would love to have a Koi pond. Our zoo, the Jacksonville, FL, Zoo & Gardens, has a big Koi pond in the Asian section & I love to just sit & watch them swimming around. Question: IS THERE A WAY YOU CAN ADJUST THE SOUND SO JON'S VOICE IS LOUDER? I NEVER AM ABLE TO HEAR THE QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE JON SAYS. IF I ADJUST MY SOUND SO I CAN HEAR HIM THEN GINGER IS WAY TO LOUD. Thanks for all the great tutorials! 🎨

Ginger Cook Thanks for replying so quickly.

Why wouldn't you plug and hammer wooden wedges into the slots of your canvas in order to increase the tension?

im new and i try to paint but i was told i paint too fast. how do i get it in my head to slow down'

@gingercooklive

6 жыл бұрын

Just because you have a high IQ and paint fast does not mean you are wrong. Just do a few strokes and take a minute to process what you have done. count 5 brush strokes and stop.... check your work and start again. You may have noticed I paint very fast.

Ginger, which color blue did you use for the background you painted before the lesson? Thanks so much!!!

Hi ...thank you so much for this enthusiastic Painting 🎨...do you know about vanishing oil which is used in painting? and the price ? Actually that is used vanishing acrylic paint marks ...like u did with a paint or something... please tell me if u know about this ... Greetings from shanya

I think you mean varnishing a painting when it is done? Acrylic paints do not use oil based varnish. Look for a good acrylic varnish by Golden paint company or even Liquitex. Vanishing points are perspective terms for drawing a building on a canvas or a road, to the artist knows about where the lines need to end up.
