- My current art ideas and artist inspiration along with watercolour painting and mark making. We paint botanicals and the start of little colourful houses.
In this video I discuss my current art and artist inspiration. I introduce a book titled "Striped Pears and Polka Dots", by Kirsten Sevig, and we do a little painting with watercolour on paper. I add mark making to my botanical watercolours with ink and paint pen. I paint whimsical watercolour houses, or fairy houses as they seem to be developing. I read a page from my book titled "How to Be More Tree", and also do a flip through of one of my favourite artists @BettyFranksArt book titled "Fields of Flowers". We pull a card from my "Art Poetry for Insights and Inspiration " oracle deck and I chat about random art insights that come to me as I record this unedited video.

You give such inspiration and good advice thank you so much for sharing Allison
You are so welcome!
Wonderful inspiration; thanks Allison! And for sharing the beautiful Betty Franks Krause book 🙏
You are so welcome!
This was a simply DELIGHTFUL video!! Thanks for being you.
You are so welcome!
Just celebrated my 64th birthday. I've developed a shaking right hand and possibly carpal tunnel. The designs you share here will be GREAT for me to try on awkward days. The line work doesn't have to be precise, so that's just the thing for me!!! Thanks for sharing.
Happy birthday! I’m a March birthday too. Hope you find healing with your wrist soon- that can be so painful.
Thank you Allison, another fun and relaxed, inspiring video. I definitely need more tips on how to relax when doing my art…love your videos.
You are so welcome! Thanks for your continued support and encouragement Susan.
Love your work and inspiration. I had an art teacher back in middle school that used to sign on her drip marks and also would write bible verses along the drip lines and then gave her art away to the elderly at the Assistant living homes. She used both watercolor and acrylics. Keep up the beautiful work.
aw, that’s amazing. thanks for sharing.
Ok I had to re watch. I’m a little ADHD 🤥 o.k a lot! it makes for great creativity, but I must rewatch several times. 🙃
haha. that’s great. I’m happy you like to rewatch. I do the same with most videos.
Oh my gosh I love that little book.
thanks Sheila.
I really like the narrative you gave when sharing about the Kauri tree. I agree about how doing YOUR art builds confidence in every aspect of life. 100%. I’m a new Subscriber 😊
Thanks Lisa!
So inspiring video! Now, I am tempted to buy watercolor. I also love houses but I’m not good at drawing or painting them. Thank you for sharing!❤
thankyou
Not sure what your last french commenter is really about to be honest. The sole reason for tuitorials on utube are to teach and share. I should think a professional artist would highly Unlikely want to steal someone elses style! Besides, its a pretty rare person who makes a good fake painting.
I love your style Alison and enjoy your botanicals with left over paint and as you have said, anyone can do this simple style of useful art BUT I could never recreate your personal style. Thank you❤😊🦋🙋♀️
thankyou for your thoughts😍
I meant a professional artist would be Unlikely to wish to copy your style. Type O in last text.xx
I am so happy to find your art channel. 😊 I have been struggling to find my own style lately. I do a lot of playful faces of women mostly. But I do love trees and birds and owls. Your botanical flowers are amazing. I love your inspiration and wisdom. You have given me some new ideas. Enjoyed the video so much. It really spoked to me this evening. ❤
You are so welcome! thanks Madelyn
I often see, sadly, that some artistic people are trying to copy your wonderful poetry art. But it’s a fake, because your emotions are unique and they appear through each piece you paint. Be careful with your secrets Allison and stay joyful and creative. You help us so much. Love from France :-)
oh that’s so sweet. Thanks for this.🥰
I love making little houses, plants, flowers, etc. I often cut them out and glue them on the back flap of an envelope, like a letter seal. They really dress up my hand painted cards when I send them. Keep inspiring!
That's a great idea! Happy mail!
Staedleter pens are not for just writing on boxes, they have been used in the the fine arts for many years.
wow- all the courses i’ve taken and somehow this was missed!! thanks for this comment. 😍
I love all your ideas and even trying to do the same things, mine don’t look anything like yours. Individuality always come in to play. I love your videos!
Thank you so much!
