This work of art has a wonderful rugged beauty. I love the inclusion of a crow who would probably enjoy playing with cardboard and string. Thank you Lydia, you never fail to inspire me.
I'm obsessed with your processes! And your crows! And I can't wait to watch this video! I'm early in my own mixed media journey and discovering you is a lifesaver. I also injured my foot, so my world turned upside down. Looking forward to watching more and being inspired!!
Wow so beautiful how it all comes together! Very inspiring. We have a lot of ravens where I live. They puff their feathers up this time of year because it's very cold out which makes them adorable
I just love your editing style and your art! Thanks for sharing your process with us. I’m sure you’ve inspired a lot of artists. Also nice to find another artist that loves texture. I usually use it for an accent, but it’s so cool how you push it so far.
Love this❤ actually I’m enthralled with everything you create.🤩 when the silly season is over I’m giving this a try. 😮 Happy holidays Lydia and wishing you a fun filled arty 2025 🧑🏻🎄🎄🎅🏻🥂🥳🥳
New subscriber. I love you painting, its what I had in my head for the birds in my yard . I love the birds and have lots of photos . I'm very much into abstract and mixed media. Looking forward to looking at the rest of your videos.
Hello Sunshine! I have been away for a while, and just today I was thinking about texture and using some of the modelling paste I have, and I was recalling a painting of yours from quite some time ago! So cool that this showed up today. I love it!
Wow! The texture and colors on this are absolutely gorgeous! I usually am not a fan of things that are dark in color like that but I absolutely love this!
Thank you for the inspiation, absolutely love your texture and crow. I needed a new direction for the new year and you have inspired me to make use of all stuff I know I'll find a use for! 😅
Wow girl, you are good!!! I am almost always dissatisfied with this type of videos because most people overwork their canvass -in my humble opinion-, but you are a natural, I think. Congratulations!
I absolutely love this! The crow is stunning, and I really appreciate you sharing your reasoning for not going too detailed-it adds so much character to the piece. I tend to get caught up in adding too much detail myself, so I’m working on finding that balance, and your approach is so inspiring. You’ve got me itching to pick up my brushes and try some mixed media techniques! I’ve never ventured into this style before, but your work has my creativity spinning with ideas. Keep being amazing-you’re such an inspiration! Love ya!
This looks wonderful. And I always appreciate a shoutout to the startlingly intelligent corvids which we're only scratching the surface of understanding :)
Ik ben zo blij dat ik uiteindelijk een Patreon abonnement heb genomen 😊, een cadeautje voor mezelf, ik hou van je stijl van crieëren en de bijhorende humor , dankjewel voor al je inspiratie, fijne feestdagen Lydia 💛💫✨
I love how you go with the flow when you are creating. I do enjoy making art with crackle paste but its becoming so expensive and I use quite a bit. Would you mind my asking if you would share your recipe with your fans?
Hi Kate! So, I use a mixture of Powertex 3D flex powder and plain white gesso. I don't measure it out, I just get it to a consistency that I like for whatever project I'm working on. Once it's on my canvas, I mist it with water then blow dry for 5 min. The cracks start to form. More cracks will form as it continues to dry. I prefer the organic look of this mix to ready made crackle paste in certain compositions. And like you said crackle paste gets pricey. I mix what I need and cover what I don't use with plastic wrap.
My goodness that is awesome! I love mixed media! You know I always like the Raven. That is really a wonderful piece. I do not get to the patron. Is there a direct way to join and cost information? Merry Christmas and happy new year of painting!🤩
Just a few questions: do you sell your paintings? Or have you done any exhibitions (not only galleries, but have you displayed them anywhere for a good period of time? Have you ever done murals? Thank you!
Yes... Cardboard is acidic. However the cardboard is sealed. I figure that if cardboard is good enough for artists like Rubens (Miraculous Fishing c1619 oil on cardboard), El Greco (Portrait of a man c1586 oil on cardboard) and Edvard Munch then why not? It's all about using what you have on hand and creating.😊
This work of art has a wonderful rugged beauty. I love the inclusion of a crow who would probably enjoy playing with cardboard and string. Thank you Lydia, you never fail to inspire me.

Thank you Carol! I put the Patreon link in the description. I have a free option as well as a $5/month option. Merry Christmas!!!🎄❤
Just a few questions: do you sell your paintings? Or have you done any exhibitions (not only galleries, but have you displayed them anywhere for a good period of time? Have you ever done murals? Thank you!
Interesting technique as always. I missed the name of the guilding paint you used.
Kamenskaya is the brand.😊
Hello, looks fantastic. Do you have a link to the textile hardener you mentioned?
Thank you! Yes, in the description there's a link.😊

Cardboard is acidic, which could damage your painting
