- In this video I am breaking up cabin fever by "breaking a blank page" on some mini precut watercolour cards, and a palette. I show you a large swatched palette that I've been working on, with Beam paints, Stoneground Paint Co, Daniel Smith, and Rosa watercolours. I also show you some of my recent works in progress from the video of mounting watercolour paper to cradled wood panels.

I enjoy watching and listening to you explaining your play. Thanks
Glad you enjoy it!
I love your creativity. You inspire me. Thank you.
that is so kind. thanks JoAnne.
Well, I’m not coveting that Ocean Paper Co palette at all. I’m not! I’m not! I’m not! 😂
Those little cards are absolutely darling and I CAN’T WAIT to get to the mark making! (I need help in that department…) That corner punch is a game changer for sure.
Have you ever seen those videos where people walk by random strangers and give them a kind note? These would be perfect for that! Maybe a write-on sticker/label. What a fun project to do with the grandkids. 🙌🏼 They could write a bunch of kindness notes and stick them on their art cards. Plus… keep them in a tin. How fun! 🤩 🎉
What a great little project Allison. You've given me an idea for some little gifts I'll be needing to prepare. Thanks!!!
oh i’m so glad! thanks for tuning in!
Thanks Allison, I always enjoy watching your videos.
I'm so glad! Thanks Terri for commenting here:)
Loved the cards idea,what a cute lovely little art project I can do with my Grand daughter, Thankyou Allison.
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy the creative time with her.
I didn’t realize Stone Ground had Gouache! I really like their watercolors. So glad I got to see those swatches! Thank you! 😊
Yes, when I ran out of my Kuretake colours, I decided to try Stone Ground Paint Co as they are Canadian... and I really love them.
Love the little paintings and I am looking forward to the mark making!! It is always so inspiring to see you create.
Thank you so much! Welcome back Cathy.:)
Your cards are absolutely inspiring with all those beautiful colors. The Stoneground gouache and the Ocean Paper watercolor are stunning, but very high priced, almost $1.000 for both sets, my goodness. Anyway it was delightful to watch. Thank you for sharing.
yes- they are an investment for sure. I like the idea of purchasing a few of your favourite colours to start, where possible. thanks for your encouragement and nice comments.:)
❤ I love your style of painting! I get excited when their are new videos to watch!....HI from chilly North Dakota!❤
Yay! Thank you! I appreciate that! today is -54 windchill so there may be another video to come. haha
I love Klimt, my favourite artist, i love the golds and shiney paints he used. 😊🌟💛✨️
Isn't his work amazing. I'm only just learning about him.
I just got back from Iceland. These little cards are so inspiring and glad you're enjoying the watercolors.
Iceland! incredible. Hope you had a wonderful time. welcome back
Yes, it was so interesting and thanks@@allisondawrant
Thanks for sharing swatches of all your beautiful watercolours
thankyou for your comment
I love this idea with the wooden palette. The problem is that there is so many colours. I am really envyous of your location, you seem to have the best art store in your town, I live in a small town on the countryside in Sweden, no art store here, so I have to order everything on line. That is a big problem for me, the coulour charts they show do not make the colour justice., so to see somenone else swatching is really good for me at leat. The paint stones from Beam paint is fantastic, thank you for swatching them. At this moment too expensive for me. I´m gonna get them for sure later on, just visited their home page and saw the full set. My gosh. Im in no way missing any colours at the moment so I´m fine with them. Have a good weekend! Love. Katarina in Sweden
Thanks for sharing Katarina! Beam paints had a really good sale a few months ago (black friday I believe)... so if you can hold off, hopefully you can get a discounted price on a future sale with them. Or start with just a few of your favourite colours.
A big problem for me like another subscribers, I live in France in a small /medium town with zero art store in the center and nothing good around for artists. Very hard and expensive to buy beautiful art things on line, because of terrible high prices with shipping. You are lucky ;-) and your art is gorgeous ! A dream. Thank you and love.
yes, that would make it really hard to watch the videos when access to supplies is so limited, or if on a budget. Although it can be pretty fun and challenging to use a limited palette/limited supplies.... When I started, I was painting on cereal boxes with dollarstore paints! There are some great you-tubers out there that focus on inexpensive creating.:) I appreciate you watching , and your insights, and encouragement, Sylvie.
You might really like Daniel Smith Sugilite for a neutral. It’s like a dusty muted lilac that shimmers. It rewets much better than DS Bronzite and DS Burnt Bronzite.
Thanks so much for sharing,
Uniball Eye pens are waterproof and dry fast. They come in a variety of sizes and ink colours. Highly recommend. ❤
And they're affordable.
Buy one and try it. I have broad, fine, micro and ultra micro in black and blue. Love them for drawing as well.
Thanks Rachelle- I have white and gold uniball pens, but didn't see the black or darker inks in Uniball. I'll have to double check if I have the right ones... I really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
Delightful to see such beautiful colours in action
yes, so much beauty in colour.
Lovely video! Feels like I'm able to just hang out in the studio with you. I'm also an artist (although not watercolor) who also lives in Calgary - just moved back after 10 years away!
ack! Love meeting other artists from Calgary. Thank goodness we have some sun this aft!!! Stay safe and warm and thanks for your support ❤️❤️❤️
In regards to not smudging the writing on the back of those tiny cards, maybe you could try a bit of hairspray to seal it in?
Oh, I’ve never heard of that, thanks for watching and the idea. Much appreciated.
Glad to share ideas anytime! I've been watching your videos and enjoy your easy come-easy go attitude, that unedited, girlnextdoor way you have. Maybe it's an Alberta thing, ha ha. I'm "down here" in Lethbridge, nodding and knowing about our artist way of life. It's great to find another Albertan making abstracts with abandon! I paint in acrylics mostly, with a fairly "heavy-handed" approach - to me, every piece (of mine) must cover the entire page or it's not done, hah! I wonder if you have ever seen Marie Manon's work? She's an abstract artist living in Calgary and has a few vids on UA-cam. I paint a bit like her, although my style is forever evolving! I'll be watching your vids just for the "company" while I paint, they are nice and loooonng!
lol I wonder if there is a paint palette big enough that you would be able to swatch all your favourite water colours on? I know for me they certainly wouldn’t be. I’m constantly discovering new colours that I fall in love with a love your collection. thank you so much for sharing
yes, it feels like a rainbow rabbit hole some days , doesn't it? I agree... my palette is much too small. haha
I love Beam as well. I started making my Handmade Honeys Watercolor. Did you see them. Made in Canada as well.
What is your company? that's good to know. thanks
