For me, the bright orange over the round-ish blue/white texture is a center of interest. The doorstop is, as you said, the horizontal division. Turned upside down, the composition is very much a landscape with hints of a mountain scene and breaking clouds over head-and it was very satisfying. 😊

Hi Marianne, thanks for sharing this valuable technique. I want to ask about the fluorescent color. Do you use them for luminosity?

Looks like a light rose. Beautiful wotk❤

You are a wonderful teacher ❤

Wow! I feel like I found an art lifeline!!!

Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot from you.

I love this piece Marianne. The colours, the atmosphere are beautiful! Thank you for showing us how you work, its very inspiring for me. ❤

Thank you so much for sharing your story Marianne, it makes me feel more connected to you and your art😊🙏🏼

Thanks, Marianne! Love those camping tables! Grateful you introduced them to me a few years back.

Hi, Marianne. Thanks for the tips! Can you share where you found the wooden French cleats in your studio? I’ve checked on Amazon and don’t see them! Thank you!

I truly enjoy these step by step videos, they are both inspirational and educating. Thank you!

You don't mention your wood IKEA carts, though they are featured in another video. I love them!

Thank you, all the suggestions are very helpful, though I am not a carpenter so the cleat thing is daunting. Lighting has been an especially big source of frustration for me, and knowing about a reasonably priced source of indirect light is VERY welcome!

Thanks for the tips. I have a metal can with a lid that I put my oily rags, and I add some water to further keep any fires from starting. There are commercial metal cans with a lid for oily rags that the printers, automotive people use. And have a fire extinguisher on hand.

Thanks for this, Marianne. I love the French cleat setup that you have. I’m fortunate enough (at the moment) to be able to implement that kind of mounted design. I also really like the adjustable legs feature of the Coleman tables.

Hey everyone! Hope my tips for easy studio equipment can help you set your space up more effectively, whether it's in your kitchen, some other room in your house, or a designated studio space. Cheers to your artistic practice!

Thank you for all your content here! I came back today to go through all your vids since I’m in a dark place. I have an exhibition coming up in six weeks and have been struggling with the last paintings. Just the other day I ruined my biggest and most cherished painting by varnishing it wrongly and now it’s destroyed. I am devastated since this painting was the one that actually made me come out of the closet and start showing my work to other people. Just listening to you here and other videos makes me feel that maybe there is hope after all.

Hi Marianne. I'm so new to all of this i need to ask how do you use the colour sandwiches you made? Do you transfer them from the substrate you mixed them on to your painting? Thank you 🌞💫

I have struggled with the concept of composition in Abstracts for a while. This really made it clear to me, using your Visual Language elements, line, color, shape, volume, and texture. For your painting, "There", I see it as blacks on the left receeding from the yellow/ orange on the right as you look at it. But, I see the blue/green/yellow in the middle punching out from all the background. It is front most, especially, the yellow, as if it is bursting away from the darker colors on top and bottom.

I'm just starting painting and drawing abstracts. Your discussion was very helpful to me. I have never gotten any kind of answer about how to see or understand composition in abstracts. Thank you very much! I look forward to other videos of yours.

I start with a bang ! reckless & intuitive & then gradually come to a dead halt...no idea where to now thinking & then just stash it away. I have a studio full of unfinished work 😢

Hi Marianne ❤ Where can I find your series on OIL PASTELS please…and how many videos are there? Thanks, enjoy every minute of your lectures!

This series is absolutely inspiring ❤ Thank you! Would it be possible to NUMBER each post as to make it easier for reference please?

I definitely create more as an innovator...

Thank you so much Marianne! This video is so helpful. I can't wait to watch more!❤

Love the content you share. Can you please make a video series on composition. I feel i get stuck in building composition Thank you

TY

Hi Marianne, I subscribed after watching this video but, unfortunately my Norton security recommended I don't go to your site to get the freebie. It said it is a known malicious website. Maybe someone has hacked in somehow. Anyway, whatever has or hasn't happened, it's a shame. 🫤

I definitely start with wreckless abandon and move on to analysing what I have. I think my overall process is the same, or very similar. You might have helped my thinking on it all, and most importantly, my execution of it! Thanks Marianne.

I’m a visual learner who watches a lot of art process videos. When there’s more than 7 minutes of talking without seeing any art making I’d rather read a book about art.

when is the art world going to move on from 1930s abstrct art? art has not moved on for decades

Thanks!

Hi Marianne! Great to see ya again…I AM one of those Meditators, into Allowing the Unfolding and engaging my Intuition…I enjoy your work a lot but prefer to stay more In the Flow of expression. Divergent thinking , Integration is something we Meditators and Shamanic Journeyers discuss as well…apply those understandings into how your Life presents. Nice! I have not seen ya in awhile… Life is not Linear so I continue to practice Being present. Keep it up, appreciate you!

Your teaching of abstract is so inspiring for me….thank you. Will be watching you thru the next year.❤

Hey everyone! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about what you've learned from making abstract art! Cheers to your artistic practice...

Merci💞

I’m so sorry I missed this. I hope you offer something like this in the future. We need collaboration not division in our world today.

So valuable! Thank you…

I enjoyed this. I think of O'Keefe, who painted the mountain range over and over. Yet, her skulls and flowers are so recognizable.

A print of Andrew Wyeth’s ‘Master Bedroom’ has taken pride of place in our bedroom (and there have been MANY) for about 30 years. The light he captures in that painting and so many others is absolutely stunning, and what you’ve said about the relation to abstract paintings… well… it was kind of like a light came on. Thank you for deepening my understanding of the beauty of art.

Yes, Marianne, this was very helpful. I know this is an older video, but I’m just starting out in this area of abstract painting. Can you answer one question for me? I have been working in acrylics because I have a difficult time with the odor of oil paints. I know they work very differently, but what I’m wondering is… is it a waste of time for me to watch your techniques? Can I apply them to acrylic? (Sorry, I guess that’s two questions…) I know from watching several of your videos that you have much more to offer than technique, though, so I will still be tuning in. Thanks!

This is wonderful. Thank you so much, Marianne. You seem to be a born teacher/guide, and I’m looking forward to following through with the printed guide. Again, thank you so much for that, too!

Are these backgrounds you are doing??? As that blue looks great for a sky with a cloud.

A lovely blended background for a painting.

Thank you so much for this helpful discourse -- I just discovered you 3 days ago and I love your art and style of painting...so appreciative of your sharing!

Thank you, I just signed up for Sunday, I am curious!

Hey everyone! I hope my thoughts about how you can access your inner voice to express your connection to the land is helpful! Love to hear your thoughts 🙂

Thank you Marianne, I am loving your style and see everything you explained in your works. The language of colour is intriguing, and yes, I think you perfectly made a trick on the eye regarding the orange and black. I can see it both ways where they can both recede or come forget.
