Before I forget....I'm never bored or irritated with your music. I also love, love, love how your brain works. You're so interesting and inspirational and like someone else said, MAGIC!
Thank you Stephanie! That's what happened to me when I recently watched a documentary on the bison. Yellowstone is on my list of places to visit. That must have been awesome to see them in person!❤❤❤
You are beyond my favorite UA-cam art channel!! I love to paint but I struggle with perfectionism so sometimes art doesn't feel fun. You are inspiring me to try abstract style art because it's not meant to be "perfect" but instead it is so unique and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your process with these and for being an inspiriation!! Could you share where you get the script stencils ? I see your links for the letters, dots, diamond, but I have been having trouble locating script fonts myself and i love the look they give.
Hello and Thank you!!! Here is the link for the script stencil I use. CrafTreat French Writing Stencils for Painting on Wood, Canvas, Paper, Fabric, Wall and Tile - French Script - Size: A4 (8.3 x 11.7 Inch) - Reusable DIY Art and Craft Stencils - French Letter Stencil a.co/d/bARsHdS
I love tour mixture of techniques great imaginary images of abstraktion and realism ….but I would have liked to have a close look in normal tempo on how you make the corners when you streich the canvas 🙃😊
Hi! Nothing is ever totally planned out. I usually have a solid idea for the focal point. For instance "I want to paint a Bison" but the background happens spontaneously. So a bit of both.☺
Your artwork leaves me flabbergasted Lydia!!! I am an avid follower. Thank you for your time. As I cannot use spray paint could it be done with dabbing paint? Tia.
Stunning Lydia ❤ What powerful animals, you depicted that beautifully in this piece 👌🏻💖I know they were hunted to the brink of extinction at the turn of the 19th century. Have they stabilized?
Hi Catherine! They are definitely making a comeback! It's hard to find a source for their actual numbers. I know in Yellowstone alone they have around 5000. I'm not sure how many are in other pockets of the country. It's a far cry from the millions that used to roam the plains and prairies. Many have been released back onto the plains though.☺
Yes... I will usually use several different reference photos of the same animal to see all the angles. Unsplash.com has a great selection of royalty free photos which is helpful if you can't take the photo yourself.☺
So cool, Lydia! Does he have a name, or can I call him Mr. Bison? I like this step by step from stretching the canvas to the completion. You seem to add different techniques every time… I can’t keep up.😀 Great job!
Thank you Brenda! I did not attend art school, but I grew up in an extremely artistic family so I wouldn't say I'm self-taught either. I would call it a self-curated education. ❤
Amazing. I am so fascinated by your work. I’ve been working at developing my watercolor skills over the past few years but I’m finding myself being helplessly sucked into an abstract acrylic vortex. I need an intervention! Somebody help meeeeeeeeee
Hi Lori! I love experimenting with different mediums and there's no reason not to. I will tell you though... I have always been intimidated by watercolor.☺
@@lydiabroderick867 watercolor isn’t easy and after three plus years I’m only moderately proficient. It’s my first love but I’m thinking I need to expand my horizons. I wish I lived near you so I could come and just sit and watch you paint for days (and ask a zillion annoying questions). I’m a bit overwhelmed with the idea getting started with acrylics - any advice? Books, classes, an artist who will take me by the hand and help me fill a small cart at the nearest Dick Blick?
I just love the combination of texture, graffiti, realism and colour. Talk about a wow factor. Beautifully done.
Thank you Chanda!!!

Where can I get the big bogstaver ?

Such an amazing creature. My daughter went to Yellowstone and became immersed in their story of survival. Powerful piece!! ❤

I will do that. Thanks Lis!☺
Always a pleasure watching your creations evolve. Are they planned out or spontaneous?
Hi! Nothing is ever totally planned out. I usually have a solid idea for the focal point. For instance "I want to paint a Bison" but the background happens spontaneously. So a bit of both.☺
Your artwork leaves me flabbergasted Lydia!!! I am an avid follower. Thank you for your time. As I cannot use spray paint could it be done with dabbing paint? Tia.
Hi Freda! Thank you so much! You can probably get a similar effect with a sea sponge.☺❤
Stunning Lydia ❤ What powerful animals, you depicted that beautifully in this piece 👌🏻💖I know they were hunted to the brink of extinction at the turn of the 19th century. Have they stabilized?

You can call him Mr. Bison☺ Thank you mom!!!❤
Hi Lydia, you are the most inspirational artists I've ever watched on UA-cam. So I have a question, what sort of spray paint do you use? What brand?
Thank you!!!❤ I use Montana water based spray paint. There's a workshop pack of 16 colors (small cans) on Amazon.
@@lydiabroderick867 Thank you. I should have asked you that Q before I bought the iron lak 😬
Insanely F-ing great ❤❤❤
Beautiful! Just curious did you attend art school or are you self taught?

Great video! Feel the graffiti aspects a lot in this one. Missed your chat though 💞
Thank you Kelly! I was sick and couldn't talk for this one. I'm feeling much better now and working on a new project!❤❤❤
@@lydiabroderick867 Glad you are feeling better & Looking forward to your next creation. You make it look so easy, love your style!
