You have a great art, you are a great artist, your paintings are amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow. Thank you so much !! I certainly appreciate that. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you subscribe to my channel.
Even though it is a “Super, super short video” I still love watching. 😊 Beautiful Job!
@@abigailh4109 thanks Abby. I just rolled with this. As you know….so much is always going down at the studio so sometimes Time Lapsed is the way to go!!! Thanks so much for watching 💕
Loved your Alla Prima day of fun! The birds are great & look as free as your style was. Nice painting 😊
Thank you so much and thank you too for watching. Yes, “free style” can be a bit difficult for me…so when it happens….its always fun.
So sorry that I couldn't make it to the workshop. I plan to take lessons soon. Thanks for posting it. Say hi to Mat for me.
No worries! I look forward to having you in lessons soon, Jeri.
The eyes are so beautiful!
thanks Jeri....he is a cute boy for sure.
Great Job!
Thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching, too. 🎉
Beautiful, just the right level of detail to look realistic but obviously a painting. Might try those canvases I do prefer a finer substrate. Anyway you’ve done it again stunning.
@@alastairgoodall1694 thank you Alastair….i left a link in the description. I love the smooth texture. A lot like linen Happy painting
great lesson
@@pollyrowles2999 thanks Polly!!
What are the colors? Beautiful bird!!!!
thanks so much. Yes, Carolina wrens are some of my favorite little birds to paint.. I used a lot of burnt siena, yellow ochre, ivory black and titanium white to do this bird. I will often have paynes gray and ultramarine blue on the palette to cool some colors down to add shadow and such. I hope that helps. Happy Painting
Love this!
thank you so much, Julie. This was a particularly fun piece to paint. I really need t t to paint more crows for sure
Hi , did you use any medium in the paint How does the paint flow so easily My wet on wet ends up with muddy colours .. and i cant get definition in my layers . Any help appreciated ❤ Great painting btw stunning
Also what was the small tear drop shape brush ? Warrior did you say . ? None of the links you gave go to it hun
simple, effective method, results are good, to sales
@@charleslamb6500 thank you Charles.
Very good job
thanks so much. I did have fun with all the color
Absolutely!!! Or whatever you think!! Really vibrant and beautiful!
thanks so much..I DID add that hummingbird!!
Really enjoyed the two sessions. Very informative and I picked up lots of tips. It’s especially helpful when you correct any mistakes your students make because I make the same mistakes. Look forward to the next one, thank you.
@@alastairgoodall1694 I’m so glad you could join us, Alastair.
Everyone is doing such a wonderful job! I have been enjoying this Live.
@@abigailh4109 hi Abby! Everyone was cool. It was a fun workshop and everyone did an amazing job!! Thanks for watching the Love Stream
I’m so sorry I missed the announcement for your live workshop! I just looked up Cartersville, Georgia, and it’s about 2 1/2 hours from my son in Huntsville Alabama. I could have visited him and then come down to you, much closer than Raleigh! Is this going to be a livestream, also?
@@ascricco987 there’s still time to come!!! Join me. I would love to have you
@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist Unfortunately, it’s an eight hour drive from Raleigh…I’d be arriving at midnight! I’ll plan ahead next time, for sure! Have fun!
Actually Suzanne, i do have a question...im sorry i missed this. When you paint the light on one side and darker on the other side of pet portrait....would you paint your background light behind the dark side and dark behind the highlighted side? Did that make sense??? Hahaha
I paint the backgrounds to create contrast. So I often will paint my backgrounds darker where my subject is lighter….just to create interest. Unless the entire painting is a literal translation (as often a portrait may be) I generally “wing it “ based on what makes it look best
@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist thank you! My last person I did turned out amazing. I used the Zorn palette as you suggested and bam! Finally got it!! Lol
Id sure go if i didn't live a heck of a long way away! Id love to see the results of this! This is something i have actually thought of doing this on a paint night. Lol you will really have fun with this! Nobodies painting has to be perfect as long as they are able to transfer an inage and not try to draw them on. Im surprised you're brave enough to get into mixing!! Good luck everyone!
Thanks so much. You’re right, it will be fun and indeed, no ones portraits will have to be perfect. I wish you were able to attend too. I love meeting my “UA-cam family”.
WOW, you go girl!

Thanks so much
You look ridiculous. That's a recent trend of little local insecure high school girls. Would you wear long pants under your swim trunks? Would you have a hardtop under your convertible?. Stop. You look ridiculous.
I’d say wearing birks with sock’s especially to the gym regularly has made imprints of my feet on my sandals and they’re sooo stinky 😂😂🤮, my girlfriend constantly complains about how sick they make her feel , I just shove them in her face even if I can smell them on my feet from when I’ve been working out 😂😂😂😂😂.
Ha ha ha. Melissa!! Is she still your friend? Ha ha ha. That’s so funnny. I guess because I don’t work out in them I have not encountered “the stink”. Ha ha ha. Thanks for checking in.
@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist omg girl , my birks have gotten stinky from having and wearing them for 3 years , they stink the worse when I wear them at the beach they stink of vinegar and there’s times just to annoy my girlfriend I’d put my birks at her side of the her bed so she can get the stinky cheesy whiffs coming from me wearing them out the whole day hahaha. To make them look pretty I put stickers from apples and bananas . But girl honestly if you took a whiff of my birks they will make you feel nauseous 😂😂😂🤮
Sugar shouldnt be in pasta sauce. If it has sugar dont eat it
U started your car the same way I did....I saw a few people saying to do the eyes first . .
Thanks for watching Marge. Yes. I generally block the entire piece in before I do the eyes. What if I did some incredible eyes but messed up on the rest of proportions? Then I would have to move and change everything. I save the fun detail when all the appropriate blocking in is complete. Does that make sense? Thanks again and happy painting.
wow really indepth really good guide
Wow. Thanks So much and thank you for watching !
woow
Aaaahhhhhh. Thanks 🙏🏻
bump
See? Dancing is just fun ..I really can’t help it.
nice paintings
Thanks so much.
cool
I really need to get on here and address this. It is cool but I should do more here.
Promo_SM 🔥
I was hoping you would share what colors you're putting on the face as you go?
I love how you painted the water. I have to figure out how to do that. lol Beautiful playful Otters!
Thanks Jerri. Water is best done “wet on wet “ to created the smooth transitions. Thanks for watching.
Otters are amazing! As is your painting. I love it! I have a question, do you have experience with water mixable oils? Winsor and Newton has a discount with 50% off on their Artisan paints in a shop nearby. I want to try them but I’d like to know if I can use the brushes I already have at home that I use for acrylic paint. Or are the brushes ruined if I want to use them again for acrylic once I’ve used the water mixable oil paint?
Thanks so much ! And thanks too for watching. I first need to say this…..I HATE WATER MIXABLE OILS! Ha ha ha. I do not allow my students to use them in my studio ….thats how much I hate them. They do not behave like oils at all. You can not interchange or mix them with actual oils and creates confusion. With that said….you can use any brushes with them as long as you wash them out real well after words. Use something like Murphy’s Oil Soap to clean them . I hope that helps.
@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist That’s loud and clear, haha! Well, I have no experience with both oil paints, so I have no opinion yet. But it helps, thank you.
@@AppelmoesArtandPhotography hey. I am sure there are folks who love them, but I ain’t one of ‘em. I would say to you, try a few and see what you think. You must keep them separate from your actual oils …don’t keep them in your same box. I would be curious to hear what you think about them. What would NOT do is buy a bunch because they are on major sale. I would hate for you to get stuck with a ton product you do not like. Happy Painting.
I loved this ! The slick fur looks amazing. Such a beautiful painting!
Abby. Thank you so much ! Yes. I indeed had fun in the fur. Both the wet and dry. So different on one animal. Ha ha. Thanks for watching ! Happy Painting
Que lindo, me gustaría saber que colores son los que usaste ❤
Hola y muchas gracias por ver! Los colores para la pintura de las nutrias se mencionan en el video. Añadí a la paleta azul y púrpura de ultramarina (Windsor Newton). Espero que eso ayude y feliz pintando a usted. Gracias de nuevo por ver y espero que se suscriba.
How fun!!!Beautifully done!
Thanks so much! It is a fun project
I know I'm a year late, but hi Susanne. I just tried out Eric's paint. The amount of pigment and lack of fillers feels great. Just a bit over buttery for my preference. I use a lot of Cobalt and 1/3 of the way through a 150ml tube of his. It is still pushing out massive amounts of oils every time I put paint out. I'm like, draining it off my palette to hold the mess down. I bought a small tube of Mars Violet and it seemed normal amount of oil around it. I'm now wondering if he if oiling the larger tubes more before he fills with paint because paint with only oil and pure pigment tends to dry out in the tube.Thats been the complaint with Rublev. (use it or loose it.) I paint mostly 40 - 48" inch canvas and I multi-layer 70% palette knife/30% brush strokes, so I'm always using a bit of paint. Leads me to thinking about learning to mix my own pigments. Sometimes I love super buttery when I see something and want to grab 2 colors and mix in a hurry before the imagined tone leaves my head. Most time I want total control of just how wet so I can drag it for an effect or easily lay a wet detail on top without disturbing it. Old Holland much dryer than MH. I can't justify $250 for a 150ml of OH cads. If I mix my own, I would have control of stiffness and however many small tubes I think I will use instead of one large tube. The extra craziness we are now being confronted with is this new energy source they want and will make for the masses to travel. (battery) They are mining all of our paint minerals (especially cobalt) like it was oil. Black Gold Texas Tea! Thinking I should now be hoarding bulk pigments before the price goes to the moon! I'm currently searching for someone selling large quantities at a decent discount. (especially cobalt) These paint producers seem to know what they got and only offer very small quantities of raw pigment. With exception of earth pigments and mica. I'm not that concerned with running out of dirt and marble.
Well hello L Twig! I have to say wow….thanks for such a great comment…. Let me see if I can reply back and actually make sense. Ha ha. Firsts, I get it ….Blue Ridge Paints tend to be buttery …which allows me to not use any extra linseed or mediums. I tend to only buy the smaller tubes so I have no experience to speak on BR’s larger ones. The smaller tubes that I have purchased never seemed runny. I wonder if it’s just a “batching thing” ? I like painting large too….i have done some large 48 x 60’s and 60x72’s. In that case, I generally use large brushes! If I palette paint on…I tend to use too much. I use lots of different paints and Windsor Newton is a go to for some larger paintings in the beginning of a piece and as it progress ….i switch to some of my More specific colors that are often mixes in with my WN paints. The WN PAINTS are the ones I buy in larger tubes. Does that make sense? As for mining of minerals …wow, I guess I should educate myself on that subject. I use Cobalt too, but Ultramarine is my go to Blue. Thanks so much for such great input on this subject. I look forward to hearing more from you as I am sure the other viewers will glean a lot from your insight as well. Thanks again!!
@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist Makes great since to me! I buy large tubes of Utrecht, WN, Grumbacher or whatever is on sale for my 1st coat of blocking in on larger canvases. I even buy large tubes of "hue" for that purpose. I don't like to scrimp on paint but try to not waste the expensive stuff. I only use a drop or 2 of medium when my blobs of paint or mixes start drying out. Medium changes the sheen and drives me nuts while trying to see if it is working with the rest. Though I highly dilute my linseed oil with spirits. Yes, mixing expensive paint into the cheaper ones. Just bring the richness up a little when needed. I learned my lesson about using cheap mixes for shadows. Just because "shadow" doesn't mean dull looking mixes. Have you tried Barite instead of Titanium in shadow mixes yet? It's like zero opaque. I think it's wonderful. It holds the hue while creating more transparency. Stupid Titanium changes the hues because it is really the brightest super opaque blue. So much to learn, it never ends. Hopefully! Thanks , Happy painting!
Susanna you did a wonderful amazing painting thank you
Donna. Thank YOU!!!
Congrats! So well deserved ❤
Thanks Astrid. It’s folks like you that have made this happen. 💕
@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist no, that is all on you, your personality and your painting skills 👌
@@astridtermaat3854 thank you Astrid. You’re kind
Stunning!!! Exactly how long did it take to paint this?
Hi Judith. Thanks so much! Yes, this painting probably took me 5 days in studio to paint. That’s roughly 26 hours….between students . The background was simplified so it was just really on the bird and the rock. It was a fun piece to paint. Thanks Judith for watching ! Happy Painting
you should check out Otmar Libert, I know you would want to dance.
Yes! Katherine! I actually am familiar with his music on my classic guitar station I listen too. I love his music and you are right….it gets me hopping! Do you dance too when you paint??
@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist I sway more than dance. But I love music while I paint. Rhapsody in Blue, American in Paris, the sound tracks to the Transormer movies, Sung Ha Jung guitar music, Altan, Crosby, Steels, and Nash, the Kingston Trio... all kinds of music.
What kind of painti g do you use
I use a lot of Michael Harding and Windsor Newton oil paints
What brand of painting do y use
I use several brands of paints…predominantly Michael Harding and Windsor Newton.
