I must tell you this. I've have been painting for five-and-a-half years after leaving my painting behind for 30 years. In my 60's my husband and I adopting two little baby girls about that five years ago they are now six and seven and we homeschool them in the middle of nowhere in Alaska only difficulty I have with that was the amount of noise hahaha I knew I needed hobby to help. Remembering I painted back in high school I gave that a try. Although I love the flow art I have gradually started using the brush and Palette knives for more of a flow art with intent,what I do today in the abstract technique. A lot of my Flo work today is a background don't get me wrong I still love I have many compliments over just my flow art. I have been invited to my very first showing a Gala that is being done with a private school. And I was looking for something that could bring me back to my flow art although I've done this type of painting before I never thought of combining more than one thank you so much for this inspiration I wanted to make sure that my artwork showed all of my techniques and talent and this is going to be one of my centerpieces I believe that will be going up for auction I will let you know how it comes out. I'm glad that I found your video in my search because I believe this will be a very nice welcoming addition to what my artwork is like across the whole spectrum of techniques thank you again for sharing cuz a lot do not give Secrets away but I'm with you without people like you I wouldn't be an artist having my very first showing in Alaska thanks again
Wow thank you so much and for sharing your personal story with me! Congratulations and good luck with the Gala. That is amazing. I always dream about visiting Alaska one day, I’m very drawn to the place and I think you are amazing in adopting two girls. Wishing you every success and please let me know how you get on. Xx
OMG...I LOVE LOVE LOVE this creation. It is stunning. I also love the way you described how the painting was speaking to you. I paint with emotion. I need to connect with the paint. I'm glad to find someone else who openly expresses how the creation evolves naturally for you. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Hey Remi! So glad you found my channel Too. Thank you for subscribing and I really hope you enjoy what you see. I always connect with the paint and the emotions behind each piece. Thank you 😊
To me it’s like really chills me out I’m a Celine Dion HUGE FAN she relaxes I listen to her it’s like I had nerve pill no matter how mad I am at anything Céline Dion and my paint give me my SANITY! So I get it on feeling paint I love Kelly Clarkson to but I can only paint with Celine Dion I know every word to every song I been listening to her sooooo long!
I’m getting there on lots of different types paintings I did a Rinske douna on the leaves it turned out I have nailed the cells omg that was so hard! I’m really connecting with my paintings now but several types like loooooove the sunflower 🌻 in different colors got to try that!
Omg!!! I’ve watched at least a thousand videos of pours, techniques & methods and I have to say that what you just did is “hands down” THE BEST!!! Love love love!!!❤
LOVE! 3D effects are my favorite designs, whether it’s online or painting. You’re simply amazing! I have to paint something like this and share with you ❤️💐
Mark, I think that this is one of the most beautiful paintings that I’ve ever seen you do, it’s is absolutely breathtaking! & I’m just mesmerized by your color choices you’ve used here. & I think it would be just as gorgeous if you were to maybe somehow try to make one using bright rainbow colors. I personally love love love big bright bold colors like in your face colors, those seem to draw my eyes and attention no matter what technique is used, I seem to always gravitate towards those sort of color combinations, &’I’m also a big sucker for anything blue, as well as pink, and obviously it goes without saying but of course anything in rainbow colors, I just love. So please yes keep creating paintings like this, bc the possibilities are endless, & I cannot wait to see what you decide to try next, no matter what color combination you decide to go with, I think it will no doubt be a showstopper in my opinion. So well done mark, well done. I just can’t stop looking at this painting. It’s so beautiful. I just love it. So keep creating and I can’t wait to see your next upload. So until then I hope you have a blessed day! Take Care Nicole Belanger-Richardson
Wow!!! Nicole thank you so so much for such a lovely reply and I’ll defo try and rainbow one soon. My next one spans over not 1, not 2 but 4 canvases!!! Can’t wait for you to see that one ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt oh me neither, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for that one to pop up on my notifications! Ohhhhhhhhh I just can’t wait to see either of them! Just gorgeous mark wonderful job!
This is AMAZING!!!! I super love the Blue one… but it’s quite striking overall I’d love to see it in metal metallics… like copper, gold & silver Ty for sharing Make sure you show us the results after you varnish it… Because I know that’s gonna bring those colors out even more
I wasn’t sure I was going to like this piece at the start, but as it developed I quickly changed my mind. I really really like it. It definitely reminds me of flowers. It turned out very pretty. You could do so many colour combo with this, purples, pinks even just a bunch of yellow ones like a field of sunflowers. Great job Mark!
Awsoomee, Mark! I prefer to be flowers in the night :D more than eye. Yes, please, do more swipes, love this technique! Thank you and keep up the good artwork! :)
This is a beautiful picture....you have captured the inner and outer eye colors. Beautiful colors of many eyes....the layering is excellent. You are a great painter....thank you for sharing....🤩
Thank you so much for sharing this technique that is not messy and relaxing as compare to the hair dryer blowing technique. You are right to say we should enjoy the process. Thank you so much. God bless you!
Beautiful design and luscious colors. Id like to see one in purples, reds and blues. I would like you to use both gold and silver as accents. This is such a wonderful and adaptable technique. Bravo!!!
My goodness how beautiful. Reminds me of some flowers but also like star bursts and colors coming off the plants. So I can see so much more than just one thing on earth and space. Just very beautifully WOW Thank you for sharing and explaining as you go.
This is ridiculously, outrageously gorgeous. This is my #1 favorite method for swiping and the same for your design. I also love there is no cell activator used and the cells are just created naturally. It is a stunning work of art.
Absolutely Gorgeous!! I Love it!! I think some red & gold would look great. Yellow & orange & maybe a purple & gold. The color combinations really are endless.. its so beautiful!
Mark I just wanted to tell you I did his pour. It’s not exactly Ike yours because my rings were a little smaller. But I followed your recipe and I’m very happy with the results. I used the same colors as you did. I just love this pour. Please do another one with different colors. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤❤❤❤
Enhorabuena por tu obra!! Ha resultado muy bonita y los colores elegidos son un acierto para simular ojos. Ya tienes una nueva seguidora desde Madrid 🇪🇸. Intentaré hacer algo parecido. Gracias 😉🖼️🖌️🍀
