I also fear of ruining what I have created. You have inspired me. Thank you for this video.

One of the obstacles I find with layering even more is the fear of ruining what I have created…..you are so brave…inspiring.

I know, that’s one of the hardest things for me too. Covering over things and taking that risk is something that is good to practice-it’s like strengthening a muscle

I do love the way your colours glow in the end. Layering adds so much to creations.

Thank you, and I agree about layering!

It is an absolutely wonderful piece. I love layering, whether it is paper or paint. As you said, it is important to be aware of what you're drawn to. Layering in a painting is crucial to gain the depth of what I'm after. It's like life and people. There is so much more to all of us than what we see. I just had an epiphany about my artwork. Wow!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

Just beautiful ❤❤❤ I took your class and absolutely recommend it to everyone 😊😊 extremely valuable

I have discovered this way of layering translucent papers and paint recently; and your work looks very similar! Love the painterly effect that overlapping creates!

I do too-I’m totally engrossed in the layering

Hi Marabeth!! So good to see you again!! What an unusual and beautiful piece! I am going to go back and watch again! Always learn so much from you! "Multidimensional." Perfect word for what is achieved by layering and not stopping before it's done! Thank You so much! Always mesmerized!! ~❤~

Stunning! And I experience the same thing myself - it's done - but it's not. Pushing forward can really take us to new exciting places! ♥♥♥

it’s always good to hear other artists say that they experience it too-I keep waiting to grow out of it, but I don’t think that’s going to happen 😆

Wonderful!

5:28 This could have gone in a beautiful fishy direction here. I can see multiple fish developing that would have created a gorgeous colourful water scene 🤔 A goldfish up the top right, a beautiful purple Betta fish on the LHS middle & a less obvious fish on the lower right, with even a turtle head poking in from the RHS there

THANKS FOR SHARING. So enjoy watching your videos. I especially like the commission one you did for the mother who had passed with the poetry included. Hope I can accomplish that ethereal feel in my work. Any advice would be helpful.

My only advice is just keep working with it, even when you don’t like where you’re at. Practice is almost always my first tactic…

6:51 And now I can see intricate faces on either side - one on the RHS that’s lighter & more colourful, one on the left that’s darker & more shadowed. Interesting. I wonder if your stages where you felt you could have stopped coincided with those different directions your painting could have taken 🤔

Golden Satin Glazing Liquid-I use it as glue and also to make acrylic glazes. It’s fantastic.

Fantastic video! May I ask how you seal this once you are finished? With a brush or spray?

I spray water-soluble marks to quickly set and when dry, I brush on Liquitex satin varnish
