Lou, I just discovered you today, and am a cardmaker who has been intimidated by even the words "Mixed Media". However....YOUR WONDERFUL, INFORMATIVE video has helped me to create a mixe media card today! I could not be happier! I so very much appreciate you sharing your talent, and expressing it in easy to understand instructions. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will use your techniques over and over!
This has been extremely helpful. When I do MM, I always feel like something is missing, and now I see the steps that I was missing. I learn SO much from you every time I watch your videos. Thank you SO much.
This is excellent, and so VERY helpful! Breaking it down into understandable steps makes it look so easy and takes the "intimidation" factor out of it ... I am wanting to jump in to mixed media, and now feel I can. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us (and beautiful piece BTW 😊)
I don't usually watch this type of video, not sure why as I REALLY enjoyed watching you create this gorgeous piece! 😊 I love the mixed media art and have enjoyed making a couple of things myself. This is so beautiful tho and has given me soooo many ideas! Thank you for the inspiration, LOVED watching! 💕
Always wanted to try mixed media, it looks fun and most are really beautiful. My problem has been I never knew where or how to start. You have made it seem so much easier than I thought. Thanks.
This piece just kept "blooming" & exploding into a ❤️🔥 passionate motion. I ",wont be scared" to use the dark as a pop. Its depth was shocking, & completes this beauty. Thank you for sharing such knowledge 🥰
I have just stumbled across this video. I was not looking for this, however, just wow wow wow. I am making a birthday card for a friend this week, and she loves mixed media. Now I will look like a pro. Thank you so very much ❤
Great tutorial. I have no confidence that anything mixed media i do will look presentable! this has encouraged me. So clearly explained. More please!!! Thank you.
Thank you for being such a great teacher!❤ ❤❤❤❤. New to mixed media so this will be extremely helpful. Found you by searching beginner gelli plate tutorials.
Thank you for the tutorial. I have just found your video and found it very informative and easy to follow. Your page is beautiful and I will definitely be watching more of your videos.
I've been an oil/watercolor/pen-ink/graphite artist for decades and do collage when I want to recharge. Thank you so much for helping me with the principles I need to follow to create a good piece. I've never been able to adapt them from the way I made paintings. As much pleasure as collaging has given me, I didn't feel the results looked professional. Now they will!
This video was very helpful to me as a beginner in mixed media. Knowing some of the step-by-step instructions gives me the confidence to begin. Then I can branch out. Thank you very much for this video.
Brilliant tutorial, I have never tried this artistic expression. It really is helpful the way you explain everything. So, another door opens. Of course we can use the information from your oxide combos to get started! Thank you so much for the inspiration and for not digressing into hours of chit chat! ❤️
I've just come across your mixed media videos. You explain everything perfectly. I've always been scared of doing mixed media, but now watching you, I'm definitely going to give it a try. Thank you, Lou x
Your video is extremely helpful for scaredy cats like me. I have a mass of supplies, but hesitate nearly every time I face a blank page. I’m almost looking forward to that blank page today.🙂👍🏻❤️
I love every part of this video, esp because I have all the elements...including fabric, inks, tools, etc. I just never knew how to pull them together. Awesome!!!
Oh Lou you make it look so easy. Mine always end up a hot mess and in the bin. I think it’s the colours I choose. You make it look so easy. Maybe I’ll give it another go. 😊
This was the most in depth but basic tutorial for a true beginner in mixed media. I am fascinated with the mixed media genre of art but have been quite intimidated by it. Thank you for this because I now feel like I can give it a try. Even though I don’t have the exact items you have, I have a lot of similar and I’m anxious to give it a try. Thanks again! 🫶🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Hi Lou! I have subscribed, having come across you via Christine Stokes and the challenge! Amazing to see how everyone uses tools, media, colours etc and creates such variety. It's like the equivalent of the expression of words in many ways. I can't think of the term I need... Um... anyway, it's very inspiring and TFS for those STEPS! Wow, that dear lady is the key to mixed media! 🙏You are a gem!
Lou- I just love love love your techniques- thank you so much!! I’ve got a busy day today- but now I really just want to play in my craft room and do mixed medium. You truly are an amazing teacher- too bad your across the pond from me- I would love to spend time with you!!
