I totally appreciate you sharing your struggles. It keeps things real! Far too many youtubers only post their perfectly edited and finished pieces making the rest of us feel like we can never measure up.
It’s like sitting with a friend and just chatting’ away! Love it! Oh and Huron is for the Lake in Michigan. Herron for the bird? And last but not least….Splattering to artists is like glitter to crafters…..😜
It is!
You said it!💜
I totally agree @7409gigi I catch myself typing away "jabbering" to Lindsay & then I realize I am watching an old video. I am always late to the live events, but someday!! I Love reading what all of you have to say.
I am under anesthesia. I will just watch today and play with my half pans and my pencils tomorrow.
I hope you get well soon and are able to get some rest.
Take care!
I love watching you push through and save a painting you’re unhappy with
I love to see you paint with your favorite artist grade paints!
Thanks!
Thank you for this! So beautiful. Btw I love full time tutorials. Have a great day.
Thanks!
Beautiful. Sing your heart away. I like it!! I've been painting and drawing daffodils the last few weeks, I'm going to try loose style next. Thank you so much
I love that this is a lose and flowy tutorial ❤❤❤
I love to be expressive and messy with my paints...SOMETIMES, even with my m graham paints...SOMETIMES...lol 😂
Great tutorial 🎉👌
Thanks Lindsay ❤ I always appreciate how hard you work to keep putting out awesome videos for us!
Thank you!
We’re well past the daffodils and into the irises and peonies. I love them all!
Lovely!
Wonderful to see you in the evening Lindsay 😊. I’ll have to check out that Meeden Cotton paper !
Thanks! UA-cam had a processing delay
@@thefrugalcrafter I found this time very convenient 😆for me.
Paintedyour couch! I remember that! Lol!
I love my CarbOthello pencils! They are so vibrant and do liquify nicely.
Thanks, Lindsay!
I enjoyed the concert this morning! We're blessed to see herons quite often! Egrets too. We have cattle egrets down here in Kansas. It's a bit early for the large flocks to arrive, but any day now they'll just be here! We had herons in Illinois where I grew up. They're fascinating to watch. They have a schedule almost. Each morning we can look out the window & they will be visiting the ponds in the neighborhood, then they fly to another. From about 7:30 or 8 until 10 every morning we will look out & see them. There are huge flocks of them in the dead trees along the Arkansas River on the west side of Wichita. They make their rounds & then go off for the day, returning at night.
The cattle egrets migrated up here back in the 90s & now they are regular visitors. They even sit on the cattle in the fields as if they were out in the wilderness. The first few years they were here they would spook the cattle, now they are just as common as the cow birds & sparrows. It still excites me to see them though, I never get tired of seeing them hitch a ride on some big old black cow.
Beautiful!
I love your attitude! Why not!❤ You are a healing light in the world 💕
I just got a new set of W&N Cottman half pans the day before yesterday. Got a 14 pc +1 brush set at Michaels in Tucson.
Great!
Enjoy all of your videos Lindsay, especially your mixed media ones. Just love the effects you get and the loose style on this one looks like a lot of fun to paint. Our daffodils are in full bloom so perfect timing. Have a great week!
Lindsay, I always learn so much from you. You will say “I don’t like how that turned out”. I think it’s great. Then when you work on it more and with more media, I see what you mean. I learn about composition and what works well with what. You are what’s right and positive with social media!
Aww, your comment makes my day!
Thanks for an entertaining hour spent inside your head! It really came out nice
Thank you!
I appreciate the real-time tutorials so much. I have purchased several of your classes because of the UA-cam tutorials. You're a great art teacher!
Thank you!
Still enjoying your tutorials, although I usually watch to learn new techniques and problem solve. Helps me when I'm working on my own paintings ---- "Oops! What would Lindsay do?" Ha-ha! I have several of your courses (thanks, Hubby!) and I highly recommend them. Spring time is sooo inspiring!!
REALLY love this painting Lindsay! I can’t wait to give it a try..
Thanks! Please do!
We are already in summer in Arizona. Ours is always a month ahead.
Nice!
Favorite flower too! You’re quite talented.
Aww:)
It’s beautiful Lindsay! I understand your frustration. I wanted to be a cake decorator when I was a little girl and that’s what I do for a living. Anything you do for work becomes work, but I constantly tell myself I could be cleaning toilets, which is what I did for quite a few years. Not that there’s anything wrong with that 😮
Well, I love it! And you should too. 😉I'm always amazed every time I watch you paint...it's beautiful. 🥰
I love the painting before and after edit! :)
I say heron quite a lot actually 😂 and osprey and rail and so on… (I work at a park on a river). I say mauve with an awe sound and I don’t pronounce the t in often.
Thank you for Lindsay's video.
And that's why I eagerly await your videos Lindsay. I NEED to know how the sausages are made! Thank you 🎉😂💜 You're the best!
I love the carbothellos on top! Gave a really impressionistic vibe!
I was just thinking about the 1st daffodil painting i watched you do. It was on a card and i copied it! So pretty!
I loved the whole energy and vibe of this video. Great painting!
The end result is lovely. Your remark about splattering or not, made me think of my mom saying “If everyone jumped in the lake, would you”, I never learned to swim, so this was funny to me. Enjoyed watching your process.
Lol! I’d be like, heck yeah! 😂
So pretty and fresh looking!
Rachel
I love this painting! Pure joy! Thanks Lindsay 💕
Thanks!
Lindsay, thank you so much for using your brushes! I noticed you dont use them around half pans. Maybe they just need a little more room than smaller brushes because I'm always afraid im going to damage them so I only know how to use the 8 and the liner. I've been watching and always enjoy your paintings!
Thank you again! These last couple of paintings have been so relaxing! such beautiful paintings!
OK Lindsay, Just a quick comment. Art is WORK! It is not as exhausting as digging ditches or driving a truck, or, or, or, but it is hard work and that is why not everyone can do it! Yes, anyone who applies themselves can learn to paint. It is just eye hand co-ordination, but getting an idea and bringing it to life or into this world that is what we artists do. I have seen you do it and I have no problem saying I am impressed and inspired by you! Thanks.
Awww, thanks:)
Thanks Lindsay! Gonna check out that paper👍🏼
I ordered the pad of paper because i needed some. Will give it a shot. Thanks.
I LOVE THIS- thank you! I think this is one of my faves of your daffodils- although I LOVE all of them and look forward to you painting them. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you!!
Thanks!
Love listening yo your voice!
Thank you ❤️
I love when you break into song!
😆 thanks!
You know that part of the reason that you are so popular with us artists is that you are real. You share your successes and your struggles and we all grow from sharing them with you.
Thanks!
Almost anything can be used for art, imo! Nothing is off limits! I want to see/get the perfume sample now!😂
It’s funny I was just thinking about how your style has changed over time. I was in particular thinking about how you would use the end of the brush or cut cards to do scratches in the paper on some paintings. I’m glad you still do spattering. I really like the spatters.
This is a good one for watercolor crayon accents.
Yes!
Firmly in the m”oh”ve (mauve) camp here. Thanks for another great video, Lindsay! I think I like, and learn the most from this kind of video from you! Excellent work!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
Beautiful painting Lindsay 😊!
Love it! Always appreciated your content! ❤❤❤
Is there such a thing as a “pigment number chart “? It is so amazing how you know all the pigment numbers of all the colors. I’m trying to learn them, whenever I do my swatch chart for my paint sets I will write down the pig #. The science of paint is so fascinating to me. You are so appreciated for sharing your gifts. Gail
There are some online. Handprint is one and if you search pigment database you will did others.
I enjoyed watching the real time video. I love how this turned out❤ Watching your process made me feel freer to include other mediums in my own work. Thanks for sharing your experience and talent.
Thanks so much!
Your singing today is very nice. I love the daffodils. They are so pretty and colorful. We have already gone threw our lilacs here. They were done a few weeks ago already. I grew up in Wisconsin and it was always still cold and snowy on Easter. We didn't get any rain last month. A little bit so far this month. My personal feeling is if it is going to be overcast all day it should rain, but the weather doesn't listen to me.
It doesn't listen to me either 😕
Thank you Lindsay , I’m watching you paint and I’m enjoying this so much , it’s making me want to try this 😊 edit : UA-cam changed my name but I use to be Monica-NJ
Gorgeous
❤❤❤this!
Amazing 😊
I love the spatters, I find if I don’t like a painting I’ll add spatters and it looks better. Well I think most paintings look better with them.
Oh I love your flowers :P But you know that. Im like a walking commercial line for that hehehe
Yep, full set syndrome here too! It just seems more economical to get the bigger sets, even though you're spending more. I tried to break the habit but ended up buying open stock to fill the gaps, or buy more sets if open stock wasn't available. Art supplies are my one indulgence in life so I'm not going to fight it 😊
Fair enough 😆
Just amazing! You make it looks so easy. Going to try this weekend to make my own:)
I thought this looked like a battle 😆
I think it’s a beautiful painting. And I kinda liked watching you struggle through this. In the sense that it’s good to see that you have these days, too. Social media makes it look like some people have an easy time of it because so often, we only see a heavily edited version of the process. So thanks for keeping it real!
Always!
I was like you I had some serious doubts about halfway through the process, but mine ended up turning out pretty good. I didn’t use all the products you use, but I did end up using some prisma color pencils and they worked really well on this. thanks for the video.
Awesome!
Absolutely lovely daffodils. I never think about adding other colors to pure yellow blossoms, but yours turned out so pretty :)
I get you about having to do art on a timetable. I'm a writer. It's my favorite thing to do and yet I put it off a lot, simply because it can feel more like a duty than a pleasurable pursuit. I decided long ago not to make my hobby my actual job, for precisely the reason you say - having to keep an eye on the clock/calendar. I often let a month or even two months go by without posting a new chapter on the two websites I use. But I start to feel guilty, and my anxiety starts acting up. I often wonder if knowing that people are waiting to read my next chapter helps (to motivate me) or hurts (makes me feel as if I'm doing it for someone other than myself). But I also wonder if I'd produce more if I was actually earning money for my work. Then I could reconcile myself to accept deadlines, because at least I'd be compensated for my time and effort.
I also get the "need something new" thing. In my case, I'm writing a very loooong story that already has over 400,000 words and is still only about 2/3 done. It's been six years. I'd love to finish it faster, but how to motivate myself? Art, hopefully. I've decided I want to try making illustrations for my story. Either colored pencils and other dry media, or polymer clay 3D figures. I've never worked with clay, so the novelty intrigues me. Doing New Things is definitely a great way to get the creative flow going :)
Mine is a combo combo! Watercolor, gauche, & oil pastels lol!
Hi Lindsay- up late painting with you while waiting for news💕thank you
Good news I hope!
@@thefrugalcrafter yes thanks. All good💕
My watercolor pencils are Prismacolor or Royal and Langnickel. They are both fine but I actually prefer the R&L. Need to find a larger set of them.
R&L doesn't make a very large set of watercolor pencils. If you have 24 then you probably have them all 😉 lol.
Years ago when I first got into watercolor painting I skipped on the R&L paint products after trying them for the most part because they don't offer the big broad sets that Faber Castell or Derwent or Carandache does and I wasn't big on the quality. I know that R&L are a more affordable brand and they're great to learn with at first but to me it was worth paying more for the bigger sets as I use them often and can buy them individually when I run out of a color ❤
I only have 12. I live in a small town and R&L is available brick and mortar where I am. I don't want everything shipped in and the nearest Michael's is 110 miles away and Jerry's and Blick are 180 miles away.
And the carbothellos are AWESOME. It does work best on paper with bit of tooth; They are my first pastel pencil set and I love m for fuzzy background stuff on pastelmat. But on smooth paper its a bit harder. You might want a duster brush to brush of dust excess wich will happen with most papers. And glycine to prevent smearing. However for pastel pencils on a budget they are as good as the derwent ones I think. PS; I told you, just what ypu love and make what you love; we are here for you, your channel. Don't fall for the you must love something. Sometimes you just growout of something; that is not a crime. And I have a full set problem on pencils. Im not buying those lose bc with my luck that always runs out hahaha.
Found the carbothello set of 36 names for ya www.utrechtart.com/items/20009-1019/
Thanks!
I loved watching the evolution and will try this! I hope this comes across well - I don't think of you as a UA-cam content creator, but when I think of UA-cam, I often think, what can I learn from Lindsay today. I think of you as an amazing artist, creator, teacher, human being, who I connect with and learn from on UA-cam and I'm grateful for it, but as a fan and student, I also hope I respect you and your creative needs and time.
...also is the mauve color you used, is that M. Graham's quin violet?
Probably 😆
Would you do a white flower like an Easter lily in soft or oil pastels? Love the daffodils!!!
I'll think about it
It looks so springy. Great job. I’m having a lot of back pain & am waiting to schedule surgery. I cannot paint anything I like & I think I’m always in pain so not happy with what I paint because I hurt so badly while I’m painting.
I'm so sorry
At least you are not trying to say my name the right way during painting sessions. Would be hillarious to see how many versions of that you comeup with in that mood,lol
🤣🤗😂PS. You always make sense to me Lindsay, should I be scared 🙃😂
if you get up a petition on the pencil labels I'll sign!
OK I'll go to change.org and get on that 😆
LOL on the mOuve/ Mauve thing! The older I get the more I question that I even know the meaning to words let alone how to say them!😅 Out here, growing up in California, it was always mauve, with a short ‘a’ sound. I’m now 66 and I use the dictionary more now than I ever have, because I’m always questioning myself if I’m using the right word. First it was the spelling, and now it’s the meaning that’s screwing me up. It’s just some more stuff to look forward to as you get older.
I definitely have the “I want it all, every color” syndrome! I have a full set of Polychromos colored pencils, and another set of Prismacolors which I bought in the 90s. I just added the new colors. But, I also have a set of Marco Raffine’s that I bought when my kids and I started coloring. I certainly didn’t want to use my good pencils in a coloring book! I also have all of the Inktense watercolor pencils, and the blocks, a full set of Windsor Newton pastels, plus many other incomplete sets. I forgot about the oil pastels, which are thankfully fairly cheap! I have the Craypas Specialist, Expressionist, and the cheap one, plus Crayolas (remarkably good!), some Rembrandts, and a decent size of Mungyo’s Gallery. That isn’t the case with everything, though, I have partial sets of a lot of things. I mean, I don’t buy every single Daniel Smith, Watercolor, or gouache, but I do wish I got all the Neocolor II. The problem is, I’m rather like you in that I dabble in a lot of arts and crafts, and are always changing what I’m doing. Recently I got into alcohol inks. I bought a few sets of those.
Did you use the right paints on that furniture you painted, you know, paints that were made for that? I have thought about painting my 20 year old leather couches. They need new cushions, too, but I don’t want to invest in those new cushions if the rest of the couch is old looking. Please tell me what you did that I shouldn’t do!
I haven’t been watching you too much lately, because I started crocheting and that was taking up all of my time. Now that I’m working on gouache and W/C again, I’m back. Sadly, I see that you aren’t putting up as many full tutorials for your non-Patreon watchers. It seems everything is on Patreon these day Though I understand, you need to make money, I remember when it was new and you said you’d never do that to your viewers.🤷🏻♀️ I’m just repeating what you said, so don’t shoot the messenger! I do think this subscription thing will eventually fall on its face because you just can’t afford to pay for everything you watch, and I’m talking about TV subscriptions, too. They are nickel and diming us to death! Everybody has a paid channel or streaming service now. They take popular shows off their free network (not really free, because you pay for the cable service already), and try to force you to subscribe for $6 or more to get back what you had. It’s not right! CBS did that with ‘Seal Team,’ it’s now on a separate CBS streaming service. That ticked me off, so I refused to pay for it, knowing that eventually I’d be able to see it somewhere. I was right! CBS just began showing the seasons that they first put on streaming. So, patience wins out! I’m too old and poor to play this game, and I’d rather skip watching it or wait. Waiting does pay off, more often than not. Now, if I could only convince my husband of that!😂
Anyway, I think your daffodils turned out well. I could have watched anything and I chose to watch this video, so that’s saying something! I love it when you figure things out on a live, or recorded video, and take us through your thinking process. None of us can constantly whip out great art all the time, there are always paintings we dislike. Sometimes coming back to them after days of not looking at it can show you a new perspective and allow you to see what it needs. But, you already know this! I won’t take up anymore of your precious time. Enjoy your holidays! Merry Christmas🎄🎅⛪️
I'm not on Patreon, but I do have an online school where I teach classes. It's how I make a living, and I am putting t kids through college. I post 4-6 free videos a week. Reviews, real-time tutorials, time lapse tutorials, Sat chat vlogs, and occasional crafts and tips. My real-time tutorials are not that popular, so I don't do as many as it hurts my channel. I still do them, tho. Please look at everything I post before you tell me. I'm not doing enough. I can't please everyone, but I'm doing the best I can.
I apologize for my harsh reply. I am feeling a bit stressed out. Merry Christmas.
It was interesting when you used the paint pens and softened them with water, worked well…. 👌👏
Thanks!
I’ve been mispronouncing açaí berry. I’ve only heard it said Ah-kai… but apparently it’s Ah-sigh-EE? I love the way the painting turned out btw! It glows !
Good one! It's tricky!
I loved the entire time you were painting. You are too ward on your work though. Every stage was beautiful ❤. Oh I was going to type earlier and say that I think as we age we are starting to change up the way we say words lol my husband and kids are constantly making fun of me for saying words differently. Especially buttons. Why the heck I have to pronounce the Ts Ike my life depends on it, I have no clue, nor do I know how to stop… that’s just one example lol keep making videos. I love every one!
😆
Hullo Lindsay, I enjoyed watching you create this painting! I really like the CarbOThello pastel pencils, I got the full set My Gran always had 2 paintings going at once, she used masking fluid (Masque Pen) to preserve her highlights, so she was always saying just wait a bit, just keep working! She would use a little rubber scrubber expose her highlights and go back to refine any areas she felt need more. She was not a "flicker" or used the spray/spatter techniques that I ever saw. She did just start with a rough drawing like you did at the start of this painting. I believe you should use your M.Graham paints more if they are your true favorite. You put so much pressure on yourself and this leaches the joy of painting with them and you rush because you gotta do a video! I got Steve Mitchell's M.Graham set but I wanted more brighter colors, so what do you recommend? if you were going to fill out say a 24 palette with having his 10 tubes to start with? I did get the Pyrrol Red and Cerulean Blue already to get to 12, but I am just not sure what other 12 colors would fill this palette? I do not know if this is a video idea or just a comment or BLOG post?
Well I do hope your enjoying your time with your family and I do wish you all health and happiness!
I'd have to think on that and see what is in Steve's set.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you, I know you have plenty on your plate, so I hope it just happens as you go about your day. I am not trying to make extra work for you! Please take care and have yourself a lovely day!
I have a suggestion. I like to see the finished painting. The end cards for more videos cover up a sizable portion of the painting. Would you consider showing the finished product for a few more seconds before the end cards pop on the screen? Your videos are great. I do like when you do a real time video showing the good, bad and the ugly. LOL
I will, sorry about that. It's also on my Instagram @lindsayweirich
@@thefrugalcrafter Kool I'll buzz over there and have a look.
Lovely tutorial Lindsay!! Love the real time ones. TFS!!
P.S. Do you ever use your Mimik watercolour brushes anymore? I bought them about 2 years ago based on your recommendation and they're good. Been thinking about your Craftamo brushes and how they might be different. Possible for a short comparison video?
Yes I do. They are still good. The black bristled ones I have are very similar to mimic but the sizes and bristle length are different. They work great together.
Very pretty! Spring has finally sprung! You wondered if the pencils were still good. Can they degrade with time?
The pencils should be fine. I don't remember what 8 was referring to.
You test a lot of art supplies and you don't use the M.Graham a lot. Even though they're watercolor they work a bit differently ...I think that's the case. I have it with my Rembrands since I've started to use Aquarius on a local watercolorist workshop as she did😉
Never said that out loud before. Got embarrassed the first time I used disheveled out loud. Upheaval so why not "dis-heveled?"
As usual, beautiful painting. I thought it was great 4 layers ago. Silly me. What do I know?
Watching it back I agree 😆
Of course you need a break, Lindsay...the grass doesn't grow to the moon and we don't JUST inhale....we expand, then contract.....we create, we rest....Give yourself time and space.....physical, mental, emotional, spiritual....you've had a LOT going on in the last year......
Where do I find the coupon code for the Meeden Paper? I want to give it a try. Also do you recommend their paint for a beginner?? I struggle with the crappy paint, so maybe I am answering my own question -but I would love to hear your input.
Its in the video description:)
@@thefrugalcrafter NOW I see it! (Was it there the whole time? lol)😅
I want to set up my watercolor palette what are som good colors
Start with a warm and cool version of each primary color and add to it the neutrals and convenience colors you like.
Oh man, it'd be possible to just drop a huge wall of text about social media and how it impacts people, even if they aren't what we might consider "addicted" to it. The ease of access to such an insane volume of content makes it so easy to just consume and consume, and then you just want to consume even more content. And then also the flipside of that and people needing to produce so much content to consume. It's a wild and vicious cycle.
I do think it's important to talk about these things a little bit sometimes, so please don't feel bad about broaching the topic at times.
Thank you for understanding!
Personally, I would really love to see you work on a painting of the size that you really want to do and in the time that you really want to take, and not feel the need to be constantly talking to your audience! I know it would require a different set up and a different style of video, but I would really get a lot out of it! I think there is an enormous amount to be learned by simply sitting back and watching experts work in a manner that gives them the most joy and satisfaction … maybe you need to accommodate your own enjoyment more than you accommodate anything to do with UA-cam (including us, the audience) …
Maybe so
@@thefrugalcrafter I also would love watching you paint large! it is something I want to learn how to do but for obvious reasons not many UA-cam artists show that. Your cheerful singing made me cheerful too!
Man, I just tried this on a watercolor card, and it is a HOT. MESS. I keep trying to fix it, and I'm only making it worse. 🤣 The worst part is that this was intended to be a Mother's Day card for my boyfriend's mom, and you know how you always want to try impressing the in-laws, at least when you're first starting out! Or maybe that's just me and my intense anxiety! Whatever it is, I have to keep telling myself "Cards are meant to be disposable, and she'll probably just be tickled to get a card at all...even though it's going to be a week late..." (Time management, what's that?)
I bet it looks better today!
Is that anything like “cep-e-uh” and “see- p-uh”??
I had to look up the pronunciation on that one! I’ve always said “see- p-uh”
😂
I think both ays are ok
My bleed proof white has dried out any tips for that problem?
Add some water and let it sit. I'd add a teaspoon of boiling water so it will dissolve the paint better
@@thefrugalcrafter thanks I’ll try that.
Sometimes I say a word that I've said many, many times, and it suddenly sounds really weird, like, "is that how it's pronounced? Is it even a word??" 🤔 😂
I know 😆
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Proper pronunciation of mauve is long o as in ogre. Not ah as in father. Most British say it right and most Americans don't.
I'm right half of the time 😆
Actually, BOTH pronunciations are correct, according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, and Oxford English Dictionary, both available online. There are many, many words that have different British and American pronunciations, and both are correct. Toh-MAY-toh, Toh-MAH-toh! LOL
