I love how PHYSICAL you are with your art- your brushes, mediums... it really comes through in your artwork. 🤓

Thank you so much! 🌺
Wow! I hope the recipient appreciates the little masterpiece! ❤
That was such a roller coaster ride. I’m watching and going “oh no! Don’t …. Oh ok, that’s good” over and over. Love the final cards.

Very cool to see your entire process, and not just what you keep at the end. Paint things, cover them up, glue things on, take them off again. It really shows how much play goes into your work, and the fluidity of your creations. And I have to say, the intro and production quality here are really good. Looking forward to more!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and attention to detail :)
Thanks for this 👍. I'm an artist too, but these past few months I have really not been in a good place, that has led me to not feeling inspired to be creative. This video has fired a wee spark and will be getting the tools out today. Thanks again 🖤🙏

Hi, once you add the chalk pastel over the paint, do you need to spray a fixative or use a varnish at the end?
@KitchenCounterAbstract

Yes! Use Degas non toxic fixative for chalks and water soluble and a UV coating spray when all done. 🎨
