Hi Cathy. Thank you for another great video. Even at 1:00 -1:10 on the video you had a really powerful and effective image that was both stark and yet so beautiful... and that was only the beginning. A superb colour combination... and good result. Thank you again. Colin. :)

Summer Sun 575 Thank you Colin! I agree! The marks made my heart skip a beat when I made them. I worked hard to catch this painting on canvas today! It was a struggle, and not sure if it’s finished yet either! I posted it on instagram if you want to see it. instagram.com/p/B_-ZI2aHLni/?igshid=1dvu76pgkmtcg

@@CathyMevik. Hi Cathy. I've looked at the canvas and it really has something special about it. A great three dimensional effect as a result of several contrasts in tonal quality. Very good linework... and I love the white marks which work so well. Personally I think that you would need to go very carefully if you feel you should do more with this painting because it is so good at this stage. For me I would leave it. But it's your artwork and the choice is yours. Colin. :)

Thank you for your generosity, it is wonderful to see your process. It is inspirational for us budding artists. Watching, I know I must trust the process of creating freely. Where can you buy such fine white paint in a vessel like yours?

Hi Cathy, love your videos! I want to start using a sketchbook for painting ideas, can you tell me what kind you like to use? Is this watercolor paper?

Thank you Lyndie. ❤ I don't like the texture or thickness of watercolor paper, so my journals have rather poor quailty paper. Most of them have 130 and 140 gsm paper. As long as I use gesso on the pages before I start painting, I have no problems at all. You really just need to try different papers and see what you like yourself. At least that's what I had to do.

Salut Catherine, peux tu me dire si tu utilises ARYL or OIL painting? Et les pastels, dry or not? Merci à toi

Salut Pascal, j'utilise des acryliques. Les pastels sont secs. J'utilise également des pastels à l'huile, mais je ne les applique qu'en dernière couche, car vous ne pouvez pas les peindre avec de la peinture acrylique. J'espère que cela t'aides.
What pastels were you using and what was that oil stick you were using?

Hi Gila. As a beginner you might not know what you like and don't like, so if you are unsure, just by some loose pastels. I would go for the high quality ones, and build my supplies if it turns out you like them.
