An oldie but a goodie! I loved rewatching this and I learned even more this time. The little things you chat about are actually very instructive and helpful. Thank you for sharing your art and what’s going on in your mind when you are creating.
I put on your video to watch and eventually fall asleep to. So many great tips throughout that i was hooked and at 1am i think i might get up and paint a little. Haha.
I just started watching your videos and at first I wanted to hurry you up, but now I relax more and enjoy watching your thought processes unfold. This turned into a really nice cohesive piece. That last thing you did where you kind of whitewashed it really pulled it together.
I love your artwork! It resonates in my heart, thank you for sharing with us. I especially like your soft voice it’s not all harsh and annoying but it’s very peaceful. Just found you recently and you have me very excited about the artwork I’m starting to produce. is there any chance you will be doing a video on how you create the backgrounds? It might seem like a dumb question but I love them so much I need a little direction. I think I’m gonna run out now and buy some oil pastels and see if that’s good for backgrounds.💗
Hi Diana, I'm glad you find my videos helpful :). Check out my favorite supplies here: suzanneallard.com/supplies In my sketchbook class, we do a lot of backgrounds in all different ways. Here's the discounted price on the class: www.startartwithsuzanne.com/sales-page-357191741636572373785?sl=SuzanneDM31
Hello, as I see you paint I noticed you layer most of your color. Love the way it looks on screen. Wondering if it adds to much texture that distracts from the image in reality? Is this texture part of the intention?
Hello Suzanne, Love your creative art work very beautiful and colourful…. Love it. Just wondering when using oil pastel throughout the painting, can you work over it with gouache & acrylic? Wasn’t sure how that would work. Thank you so much for your tutorials, so helpful for us seniors who love the art of painting without too much fuss in trying to get it to work out but to be more relaxing. Thanking you again. Sylvia
I think that adding the wash after you paint the image makes the image show up with highlights better than it would if you painted the highlight all over before :-)
Just came across your post… love your style of painting…never painted before, but want to go out and get stuff to do so 🤗 can you list what are the basics I would need? Based on the UK xxx
Looks beautiful but it looks like you are using acrylics or oils but they aren't included on your supply list on line. Could you name what you are using as you use them, I would like to be able to tell if I would like to take your classes. Thank. you
Hello, For links to all the supplies I use, head to my website (link in profile ⬆️) and click supplies, you’ll be able to choose either my Amazon supply list or the Blick Art supply list. 🎨 When you buy using these links, I receive a tiny percentage of that sale, even if you then go on and buy other things on your shopping list that aren’t art supplies. Thanks for supporting my posts/videos this way! 🙏
I love how it turned out. Ive never used Gouache but I want to try a mid range price before I go all out. Can you recommend a brand? I usually do watercolors.
yes, it will help it be more permanent but probably not all the way. Gesso does help regular gouache and watercolor be more permanent, you can use it as your white. I have another video showing this!

lol, that is so funny. I would wake right up to a painting demo
Love hanging out and learning from you while I create. You are such good company!😊
You're the best Maggie, thanks! I love hanging out with you all too! OX

Welcome aboard! I'm glad you're relaxing! You may like playing the videos while you create that way we can hang out and create together!
LOVE how the painted leaves are picking up the texture of the layers underneath
great observation! I'm addicted to texture!
I am so excited to begin your classes. I am waiting on supplies. I love your designs.
Yay! Thank you!
I used to live in Palm Harbor! On Lake Tarpon, my sons learned to water ski on the lake!
We now live in Louisiana!
How about that!

Love your style ❤️
thanks so much Sharon! thanks for watching :)

For me it is, I LOVE texture. It just depends on what you like :)

Thank you! You can put oil pastels on top of everything but painting acrylic or gouache over them doesn't work very well. Think of oil as a top layer.
I think that adding the wash after you paint the image makes the image show up with highlights better than it would if you painted the highlight all over before :-)
I agree! It is just a different way to try something and it depends on the medium as well.

I would watch more of my videos or take my Skillshare classes where I cover supplies in detail. It really depends on what you want to learn to paint

Watching from Austin!
Love that! Thanks for watching😁

I like the Turner and Amazon has a great price! amzn.to/3iBZHdA
What do you use to scan your finished pieces?
I use an Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner and I love it! I have a link to it on my website: amzn.to/3swPPrg
Can you mix acryl gouache with regular gouache to make the regular gouache more permanent?
yes, it will help it be more permanent but probably not all the way. Gesso does help regular gouache and watercolor be more permanent, you can use it as your white. I have another video showing this!
Could I do this on canvas
Sure you can!
lovely work, but you are very softly spoken, cannot always tell what you have said
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll work on volume!
Very inspiring; unfortunately I have to turn volume way down since your voice has an unfortunate strain to it . Sorry. 😣
Sorry to hear that
