How to paint over unfinished paintings on paper.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- In this video, I show you a piece of art that I painted that was inspired by @BettyFranksArt . She has a wonderful book called "Fields of Flowers". She also teaches classes that are full of great tips and inspiration on how to paint abstract colourful art on paper. I show some unfinished works on paper that I paint over with acrylic paint. I talk about what inspires me in the moment and we wrap up the video with my process of covering up areas of the piece that I don't love , and find ways to explore what I do love in my work.
Supplies I've mentioned:
Mat Shop Canada :

Princeton #12 watercolour brush
Masterson hand stay wet palette
Master's brush cleaner

Love your work, Allison. I've been binging on your videos the last two days. So enjoyable!
Yay! Thank you!
Your painting's really make the imagination run wild.
Brilliant work Allison 😊
Thank you so much 😀
It is amazing. I am still wrapping my head around how it all comes together. I definitely need to mega practice!
that’s so sweet of you to say. Thanks Angela.
Ok I just started watching this one but OMGGGGGG that first painting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't even tell you how excited I am about that one. Wow!!!!!!!
Also I love how you don't edit your videos and yet your channel is so successful. I would love to know more about that!!
Thanks so much 😊
🌬🎨 Hi Alison😊
Love your channel. I do a lot of what you do. Love it all. When I started out on UA-cam my original plans were to share my art. I'm Not a Teacher 😊 But if I can inspire anyone to do art of any style then that makes me happy. Sorry i got off track 😂 then my world turned upside down so I documented my Lung CANCER journey and spreading AWARENESS. I just opened up another channel all art related. It's hard doing art and filming 😊 I remember you saying that and how true it is. Hope you are your family are having a Beautiful day/night. Stay Creative/ Together 🎨👍
Hi! wow, you have had quite a journey with your health … i’m sorry you’ve had to go through cancer diagnosis, but how incredible you are to document and spread awareness to help others. I hope you are doing well and in remission. feel free to send me your socials or channel and I’d love to check it out.

Good Morning Allison i have been binge watching your videos and painting in between. It’s funny I told my daughter that I wanted to be sure to do some other things besides art over the holiday. I love How I have finally found a positive addiction LOL . Perhaps I should say obsession either way it’s so much fun. You inspire me so much . I just love how your videos are so intuitive just like your art. I’d love to one day do videos intuitively. I think maybe then it would feel less intimidating. :)
Love it!! Thanks so much,.
Well done! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights with us. Big arty hugs from Surrey, BC, Canada❤
aw, thanks Sam from Surrey, BC. Means a lot! xx
Hi Allison! I'm a new subscriber from Northern Ontario Near Muskokas and I'm a new watercolour painter. You give so much inspiration and give such great perspective on how to approach painting with "just try and see" or "take a step back and revisit"
I too overwork/overthink and finding you on you tube is such a great help in finding my own joy in painting.
Thanks for your un-edited work as its authentic work is so fun to connect and feel like it's ok to just have fun.
Thanks Allison for your effort and your work I really beautiful!
Oh, I'm so glad to hear you have discovered watercolours and that I have been able to provide some inspiration/ support during your beginner process.. I think you will love it as much as I do if you can keep reminding yourself of those things- just playful exploration with no pressures and no judgement. Thanks Sue
As soon as I watch your new video I want to paint and try immediately something. The colors, your energy, the joy and happiness of your art are so motivating for me. Thanks a lot Alison. And I love the white areas. Love from France :-)
Wonderful! Thanks for commenting and your positivity back , Sylvie
THANK YOU, Allison, for your kind words! That piece turned out beautifully!! I appreciate your shout out, too. Many thanks from California!! 🥰
@BettyFranksArt 😍Thankyou Betty
Thank you for daily inspiration.
You are so welcome!
That paint palette is something I need ! About how many days will it keep your paints from drying out. I never knew this existed.
For weeks, when sealed tightly . Someone on here commented that they made their on, much cheaper and says it works great!
Love it❣️
thankyou!
Hi Allison, I love your work, it is so rich, generous and colorful. Thank you for mentioning and appreciating my ATC in your video. I’ll keep following you because you realy inspired me 😊
thankyou France! I love your ATC.
I think that’s so cool i would love to be a part of something like that artist trading cards. Getting to share art would be so much fun. Im trying to figure out something like that do do with my 5th graders maybe on index cards with another school far away ? . I love the lace on your art with the stitching . I know nothing about a sewing machine .
You really are amazing! Enjoyed watching and didn’t want the video to end!❤️Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much! Love and inspiration back to you in Australia!
A question is that Betty Frank's? I love her too.
I painted that piece , but was me emulating Betty Krause. I love her abstract fields of flowers and also her teaching.
Loving the UA-cam channel! Can you tell me more about the works on paper? What kind of paper are you using specifically? Do you prepare the paper with gesso? I’ve been trying to create on firm surfaces but when it comes to framing all of those it ends up taking a ton of space… even storing the canvases and birch panels ends up filling my space before they are made. I love the idea of works on paper! Do you find that it impacts the sell ability of the pieces? (Not that i sell anything really) but does it affect the price as well?
Great questions. I try to link what papers I’m using in the description of the video. I like using 140 lb paper (Canson XL is good), or Bristol paper for acrylic painting. I don’t use gesso for paper prep but every now and then I do to compare. I have art racks to store art on paper/board- they become decorative that way in my home.
Art on paper sells well and I use pricing formulas for different substrates.
I am new to your channel and style. I really love everything except the white 'resting area'. It.... jolts me, unsettles me. I would love to see the finished piece to see if I change my mind. I'm a new subscriber for sure! and look forward to going back over your videos to gain a deeper appreciation for the white space.
thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights and I really appreciate you taking the time to write.
