@@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 💕

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.

No worries! I look forward to having you in lessons soon, Jeri.

thanks Jeri....he is a cute boy for sure.

Thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching, too. 🎉

@@alastairgoodall1694 thank you Alastair….i left a link in the description. I love the smooth texture. A lot like linen Happy painting

@@pollyrowles2999 thanks Polly!!

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

thank you so much, Julie. This was a particularly fun piece to paint. I really need t t to paint more crows for sure

Also what was the small tear drop shape brush ? Warrior did you say . ? None of the links you gave go to it hun

@@charleslamb6500 thank you Charles.

thanks so much. I did have fun with all the color

thanks so much..I DID add that hummingbird!!

@@alastairgoodall1694 I’m so glad you could join us, Alastair.

@@abigailh4109 hi Abby! Everyone was cool. It was a fun workshop and everyone did an amazing job!! Thanks for watching the Love Stream

@@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!

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

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”.

@@saltlifegull4091 hey! Thanks so much!!!!

Thanks for joining me!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes. I know. Sorry about that.

@@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist It’s okay, easy fix. Turn phone sideways. 👍

@@evelyndominguez4757 oh. We tried. It still came out sideways. It was weird.

@@BrinneyMahmood it’s one of my favorites too. Thanks for watching.

Thank you Geri.

Thank you

Thanks so much

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 😂😂😂🤮

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. Thanks So much and thank you for watching !

Aaaahhhhhh. Thanks 🙏🏻

See? Dancing is just fun ..I really can’t help it.

Thanks so much.

I really need to get on here and address this. It is cool but I should do more here.

Thanks Jerri. Water is best done “wet on wet “ to created the smooth transitions. Thanks for watching.

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.

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

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.

Thanks so much! It is a fun project

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!

Donna. Thank YOU!!!

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

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

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.

I use a lot of Michael Harding and Windsor Newton oil paints

I use several brands of paints…predominantly Michael Harding and Windsor Newton.
