    Bonjour Gabrielle,
    C'est une très belle palette de couleur, ça me fait pensé à des toiles des fauvismes du début du siècle dernier. Merci de nous partager ton processus créatif, c'est toujours apprécié.🙂

    I'm appreciating explorations of more free form, non-precise types of art because, with aging, my fine motor control has really deteriorated. Instead of precisely drawing a shape, I experiment with how to work with broader strokes or shaky lines. Having a past that was driven by fine, precise, 'perfection', I'm enjoying being freer. All this is to say I appreciate watching the process and approach you employ in your creativity.

      Hi Marilynn ❤️ Thank you for making the time to share this with me! I’ve noticed that my fine motor skills and eyesight are changing as well as I enjoy the privilege of aging. At moments, I feel sad about this and then I remember how lucky I am that I can still create. In some ways, I think it makes me a better artist because I’ve let go of my attachment to specific results to make space for something more loose and unexpected. I appreciate knowing I am not alone in this experience. Thank you for making the time to connect with me ☺️ It really means a lot to me 🤗❤️

I do my best to bring awareness to my needs when I'm struggling with my mood and usually art videos do the trick for me too. Thank you for making the time to connect with me - it really does mean so much to me and I appreciate your presence here 💕🤗

    There’s a movie titled “The Half of It” on Netflix I love. In this movie there’s a quote I love that is central to the plot-“The difference between a good painting and a great painting is typically five strokes. And those strokes are usually the boldest strokes in the painting. If you never do the bold stroke, you'll never know if you could have had a truly great painting”. The cobalt blue were your boldest strokes-and it made a huge difference.

    • @gabrielleannacormierart
      @gabrielleannacormierart  2 роки тому

      Oh how I love this! I’ll have to check this movie out ☺️ What a great reminder for us to step out of our comfort zone and take those “risky” bold strokes! What’s the worse that could happen?! With a paint brush we can undo or cover up just about anything if we don’t like it and we learn what we like and don’t like as we go along ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing Jessie 🤗 And thanks for connecting 💕

    It is so popular to decry "coloring in the lines," but there is something to be said for learning "rules" as well, in art and in other fields.

    • @gabrielleannacormierart
      @gabrielleannacormierart  Рік тому

      It’s important that we all follow what feels best for each of us creatively. Thanks for sharing your perspective! ☺️

    On this one I resisted the urge to fast forward to the end to see the finished product first. I’m happy I did. Your process in enlightening and inspiring all at once. Thank you for your words of wisdom. And you are right about rules in art. Tell me about an artist who followed rules, and I’m sure I’ve never heard of him. Pablo Picasso, I assure you, did not follow rules, such as they may be in art. Some guidelines, maybe. Namast-zen coming your way, friend.

    • @gabrielleannacormierart
      @gabrielleannacormierart  2 роки тому

      ☺️❤️ I was thinking about Picasso too, when I was reflecting on this. In many ways, breaking the rules is what makes many artists stand out. I’m so thankful for brave and bold artists like him. ❤️ I’m also thankful for you making the time to connect with me every week 🤗 Namaste 🙏

Bright colors make my heart happy too! ☺️ Oh and maybe you'd enjoy this one too: ua-cam.com/video/cmExsA2_WpY/v-deo.html. It's a bit different, but the colors had such a happy feel for me. I am not familiar with the pearlescent colors you mention - but I will check them out and thank you for mentioning them to me!

      @@gabrielleannacormierart Hi there! Yes, the grounds are very cool, and because I don't want the jar to dry out while I'm applying it, I find that my movements are super intuitive and fast - just feeling it out. When I was in art school, there was a class called 3-dimensional Design - I constructed a textured piece from stiff white poster board with sand, glass, felt, and glue. My intent was to create something tactile for low vision and blind lovers of art. Little did I know that a few decades later, I'd be legally blind. Now that I'm playing with ground, that same desire to create tactile art is swelling within me. Life is funny that way, eh? Big Big hugs!! 🤗 ❤️ 🤗

    Gabrielle, le résultat est magnifique. Je ne comprends pas ; au début quand vous avez peint les formes je trouvais que ce n'était pas joli et j'étais rassurée car j'obtiens la même chose (comment est-ce que cela peut devenir si beau ?). Puis vous améliorez de plus en plus alors que moi, chaque fois que j'ajoute quelque chose c'est de plus en plus laid (et désespérant). Je crois que cela vient de votre talent. On admire des oeuvres et on espère toujours en faire autant, malheureusement cela ne fonctionne pas comme ça.
    toute mon admiration

      Allô Martine ❤️ vu que vous arrivez au point de trouver ce que vous avez peint laid, je crois que vous êtes sur la bonne piste 😉 Je dis cela de toute confiance parce qu’en effet, je trouve presque toujours certaines étapes de mes créations tout à fait laides. Et des fois je me demande même si je devrais arrêter can’t d’arriver au désespoir. Mais il faut aussi reconnaître que le désespoir ce n’est pas la fin du projet mais plutôt une étape à surmonter. La clé c’est de continuer à persévérer. Au moins, c’est ce que je crois. Je joue, j’expérimente et je trouve presque toujours une solution et je pense sincèrement que c’est possible pour vous aussi. Merci de me lancer des fleurs ❤️ j’apprécie beaucoup votre gentillesse. Merci aussi de me partager votre expérience. Je comprends votre frustration. Continuez à peindre et offrez vous beaucoup de compassion en le faisant. Surtout, n’abandonnez pas parce que ça devient de plus en plus facile avec le temps qu’on y met. 🤗

      I actually do not gesso my paper first, but I do sometimes add gesso at different stages of my process. I have a ton of gesso in my studio because it's a product I use a lot (for many different types of projects using acrylic paints, watercolors, etc.). If you have specific questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask. ☺️
