Mark, good night... The stars shine during the day... Colors sleep at night... Black enhances rainbows... discover the energy of color... Thank you for your teachings... a hug... 🌈🌕🌈
I REALLY like this MARK. I LUV these Rainbow COLORS. I REALLY like it the way it is. That swiping looks so easy but I know it CAN'T be. I REALLY think it's BEAUTIFUL just the WAY it is. GREAT JOB AGAIN MARK.❤❤
Love it! The swipe turned out so beautiful with the rainbow colors😁 I was hoping that you maybe would have just used a thin skewer to put a few gold swirls towards the center. I like negative space but just a little something to draw your eye in. Awesome piece😁😘
Hi Marek, I wouldn't do this circle, but she brought out rays from the center or even from another place. I would add colors from there and distribute new ones so as not to make a color stain. I'll try do it. The yellow one can be covered by pulling from the inside. I think so😂
Hello Mark, this is beautiful! I love it. How about using a ballon to kiss in the middle of the circle, with all of those beautiful colours you have chosen? I love watching you develop your ideas. See you soon xx
Wow, this piece is so rich in colour. I absolutely love it. Not sure if you should add something in the middle. If you do so, I think it should definitely not eat up the whole area of the negative space in the center. But maybe it's better to leave it like it is. Great job like always 🖒💖
Another amazing piece! I really like the section where you laid the colors in dots close together around the hoop, because the individual swipe had two colors within the swipe. I’m going to try that all the way around the hoop when I give this a go. You’re so awesome I love watching you create!
I like it as is perhaps a gold plain disc? Llove the concept of this painting. Sorry i haven't been watching lately but i have badly broken my wrist and it's given me the hump as i can't even paint or mix paint with one hand. This has cheeted me up ❤ xxxxx
I’m so sorry to hear that Barbara. You take care and thanks so much for your support. You’ll be back painting in no time. Give yourself a break and be kind to yourself. Big hugs x
Hi Mark, love the colours...as these are the chakra colours if I were to put anything in the middle it would be the 'om' symbol but either way it's gorgeous x
I love it just the way it is; however, as I was reading the other comments, I was definitely drawn to the idea of a heart in the middle. I am going to agree with the heart. I think that would definitely look great. The question is what color? red? white? gold? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Hope all is well and please take good care. Love, Denise ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you so much Denise. I know right? So many options. I can’t wait to share one that I’ve done recently since Berties passing and I just know as a pet lover you will totally get the ideas behind my concept. I’m sharing that one next.
Hi Mark, I absolutely love it! It’s so beautiful, I must try this myself. You could put gems of some kind around the gold edge and colours but it’s really nice on its own so it’s up to you. It will look lovely when it’s varnished. Well done! 🥳
Hi Mark, This turned out gorgeous- just as it is. I am curious what the mandala that you would use, looks like, and if it would be 1 color or more than 1 color. Amazing job on this 🌈🌞
Maybe a small balloon pop in center with the ballon dipped in the same lines of color leaving a black ring between pop and gold ring or a pop that touches the gold?
WOW!!! This is one of my FAVS!!!🌈 I think it is PEREFECT as it is Mark!! So happy, bright, and just STUNNING! The one part where you added all the colors together and swiped gave it just the perfect amount of extra interest and the shimmer from the gold in the middle is beautiful!🤩 Yup... I would say that's a wrap on this one and varnish it as it is unless of course you want to add something to the middle! I know with your creative mind you would add something else to the center, make me stick my own foot in my mouth and make it sooo much better! haha!😅If you do decide to add something else, please do a little show of it! I would appreciate it so much!☺ I hope you and Shaun are both welll!🥰 Ty 4 sharing this one! It is gob stopping gorgeous!! I LOVE IT!!🌈 Loving these rainbow paintings for pride month as well!!As always. sending lots of love, hugs and good vibes to you both! xox P.s. 20X20 canvas is my favorite size to work on!;) That black base with these colors work sooo well!!!🤩
I would probably have blown the gold to center in a few places with a straw or swiped it center with a wiggle to it. Then lift that last ring. Now though .. How well would the paint move if you just put the ring back down and added more paint to do it? Bc that could easily just be done as a series where the center is different.
3-ply. If you want to use paper towels you can. If you want to reduce absorption on the paper or Towel spray it with water slightly and that reduces absorption of the paint when it connects

Thank you so much 😊
Turned out bright and pretty. I would add a stencil in the middle to give it a pop.
Thank you! Yeah I’m thinking the same 🙏😊
GORGEOUS 🙂
Lovely. It looks like a close up of a big vibrant rainbow eye 👁️🌈😁
Thank you 😊
I love that the negative space of the black circle is awesome.
Thank you 🙏
So beautiful and I love the radial rainbow swipe! Such a gorgeous positive piece! 😍🌈
Thank you so much!
Just beautiful ❤
You are so kind 🩵
I love this just as it is, I like the centre back as I think it makes the beautiful colours pop.
Thanks so much 😊
Baloon kiss in the center, maybe to give the appearance of stars???.. Gorgeous piece..
Thank you 🤩
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt yw.. I love your swipes. Aside from them being beautiful, it's just a very relaxing process to watch you do
I love the rainbow colors very stunning I would leave the middle just how it is
Thank you so much Jean
I think balloon dips would be pretty. I love balloon dips!
Thank you 🙏
Wow, I love this rainbow mandala. It might look good, but I love it this way too.
😊😊
Thank you! 😊
This piece is amazing just as it is! Love the rainbow colors.
Thank you so much 😊
Amazing colours and painting. Thank you Mark for your guidance. For me, there should be some paint in the middle. Maybe some shimmer not to much.
Great idea thank you so much 😊
I think this is my favorite you've done❤
Thank you 🙏
Mark this is awesome, bright and vibrant, I don’t think it needs anything in the middle, I love it 😊😊
Thank you 😊
I just found you and that is so exciting! How creative you are. I am going to search out more of your videos. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome and I hope you enjoy what you see 😊
LOVE IT!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Love the beautiful outcome. Looks more like the pride. Nice that you created the rainbow artwork during pride month.
Thank you! 😊
I love it as is. I especially like the section of the small amounts of color are swiped.
Thank you so much!
I think a few gold swirls of the gold going to the center and meeting would be very nice. Have a great day Mark😊
That would be cool - thank you 🙏
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt or even swirl the colors of the rainbow from the gold ring to meet in the middle.
I REALLY like this MARK. I LUV these Rainbow COLORS. I REALLY like it the way it is. That swiping looks so easy but I know it CAN'T be. I REALLY think it's BEAUTIFUL just the WAY it is. GREAT JOB AGAIN MARK.❤❤
Thanks so much 😊🙏
Really like it especially with empty black circle.❤
Thanks so much 😊
A beautiful rainbow eye...I love it like this..❤😊
Thank you 🤩
I enjoy your presentation style!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much Susan 😊
I wonder what it would look like if you swiped the gold inwards? Turned out beautiful.
I’ll have to try it 👍🏻
Love it as is Mark. Have a nice weekend
Thanks, you too!
Love all your beautiful paintings! Perhaps a silver heart or star or flower for the middle?
Thank you so much! Yes great idea!
Love it as it is ❤❤
Thank you 😊
I love it as it is. Its gorgeous in its simplicity.❤
Thank you! 😊
Amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers! Wishing you a happy 2024 x
I love the middle just as it is.
Thank you - I am leaving it as it is :)
I love it. The colours are so vibrant. I would like to see something in the middle.
Thank you! Cheers!
That is a really cool piece. I like it as is and probably would like it with something in the middle as well.
Thank you 😊
Love it! The swipe turned out so beautiful with the rainbow colors😁 I was hoping that you maybe would have just used a thin skewer to put a few gold swirls towards the center. I like negative space but just a little something to draw your eye in. Awesome piece😁😘
Thank you! 😊
I absolutely love the vibrant colors in this one. Gorgeous! I wonder how it would look if u swiped the ring onto the other swipes? 🤷🏼♀️just a thought
Great idea!! I might have to try that!!
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt Can't wait to watch it !
I love it! Maybe some yellow in the middle, like a sunflower middle but only yellow? and possibly orange and red - like dots?
Thank you 😊
Love this in going to try it
Hope you enjoy ☺️
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful as always. I like the negative space. Filling it might make it too busy. Right now the black enhances the rainbow colours 👍
Thank you so much 😊
I love that, I think it is awesome Mark, and the colors are gorgeous.
Thanks so much!
Very nice Mark.
Thank you so much Rebecca - hope you’re well.
Beautiful piece Mark! I love the rainbow colours!

Love this one Mark! I think it's perfect just the way it is!😍
Thanks so much!
This is fab Mark, I think I would put something in the middle, however I’m not sure what 😂
Thank you Linda! Yeah I’m thinking a mandala in silver maybe?
Beautiful colors
Thank you! 🌈
I think it would look good with a smaller rainbow ring inside the gold hoop.. like the one in the thumbnail (pre swipe)
Great suggestion!!! Thank you 🌈

Maybe a flip cup of all those colors?

On peut seulement utiliser eau et peinture pour faire ce genre de tableau ? No médium ? Merci trés beau 😊❤
Yes absolutely as some of mine are only water too - just make it a bit thicker so a ratio of 1.4 : 0.6
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt thank you so much 🥰
6:24 better then end

Great idea. You can always tweak it when the paint is wet 👍🏻
Have we always been able to see your reflection in the paint?
When using a black base - probably! 😂
This is a serious question. Do you use two ply? Or would paper towels cut down work? I’m wondering if paper towels would absorbs too much?
3-ply. If you want to use paper towels you can. If you want to reduce absorption on the paper or Towel spray it with water slightly and that reduces absorption of the paint when it connects
DO A BALOON DIP IN THE MIDDLE MARK
I tried this and I love it. 6:47 6:50
Yay! That’s great to hear
Leave the middle as is, each person is going to add their own ideas to it
I added an eye then a rainbow, mendalla.
Thank you 😊
Reminds tye dye
Yes 👍🏻 thank you 🙏

I didn’t - I left it blank in the end 😊
Balloon
OR SOME BALOON DIPS
Defo considering something 👍🏻
Come si chiama il prodotto che si mette x fare le celle
For this piece I only used paint and water 👍🏻
Needs a touch of something else. Yes add something
