    Yet another superb training video that shows so well your 20 years experience, which I have close to as well. If I had my way, having taken up WC , Oils (3 years a go) and now Mixed Media and the 'head shaking' disbelief of how bad so many wannabe Art tutors on here are, they would have to watch YOUR UA-cams before going live to the public and have someone as good as you, to approve them before doing so. Recently due to finding I seem to have a talent for semi abstract landscape painting purchased a very good Mixed Media artist tutorial video whose style I really like and believe I may do well in. He uses a fair bit of WC and Oil Pastel that really gives some fantastic surfaces but unlike you, rushes the application of how to do so. So thank Michelle, so much for this video plus you reminded me of candle technique as well.

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  2 роки тому

      Ah, thank you! I have no idea what other teachers are doing on UA-cam, I rarely watch their videos, I kind of don't want to be influenced by anyone else, or worried I am doing youtube the wrong way, so I just do my thing and put it out there!

    Hi Michele, yet again you come through with such an interesting and helpful video. I remember when I first joined your FB group trying wax resist to produce highlights in water. At that time I believe I wasn't applying the wax correctly, so didn't get the results I was trying for. However, not only do I want to try this again, but all of the techniques you have demonstrated in your video. I particularly liked the Dorlands wax used with the leaves. This is so interesting, and would definitely look great in the background of a painting... so fascinating.

The leaves are huge with white dots. I made marks with a white Craypa, and voila, just the look I wanted. Well, I could use a bit more practice in making the dots a bit smaller next time.
    I love the very practical advice you give. I might figure these things out on my own, but why not take advantage of your many years of experience, and detailed explanation of how to do it.
