Donna, abstracts are my favorite forms of painting. This painting is absolutely magnificent! You're a master artist! The colors are perfect! Bravo Donna 👏 👏 👏 😃💖
First I want to thank you for the amazing demo and sharing your art expertise and process with us. Very captivating and inspiring. I recently viewed a comment here. I want to let people know that artists can’t produce “exactly” what they have done in prior work, let alone copy “exactly” what another artist has done. We have to train our eye to see those subtle differences in artistic expression. We are here to learn a process and then express ourselves by exploration of that process. Thankfully there are people like you who are willing to share.
Thank you for showing us who you are in your artwork...masterpieces. I am sooo tired of seeing "instinctual" art processes begin with all of this usually expensive media on canvas only get covered up by dots, drips, smudges, etc., that end up looking like all of the rest of everyone else's art. Sometimes the viewer wants to see something they can clearly recognize, but still abstract and instinct-driven. You are an inspiration indeed. Bravo to you!
I loved watching you create this painting. It is stunning! I also like how your organized your brushes in cups stick to the wall - abs the poppies you painted on your wall/ceiling. Just lovely! ♥️
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your creative process. In observing how you work, I see the usage of your bare hands to place paint on the canvas. I know many artist prefer this technique over brushes or other tools, however, I would highly suggest using gloves. Many paints contain toxic compounds and there is a risk of harm to your health if you paint on a regular basis. I just wanted to mentioned this as your video is an inspiration to many new artist, and people should be cognizant of the risk. Happy painting!
I really love your process, thanks so much for sharing! You had so much movement and life happening on your canvas, it was quite inspiring! I love how free you are to just sort of let things happen - I myself am a much tigher-wound painter who struggles to loosen up while I paint - watching this made me want to just grab a canvas and have at it! Maybe I'll do that this weekend! ;)
Amazing watching all the stages to get from the beginning to where you ended up! I love the colours, and the sense of freedom just to do what you felt like. I love the poppies on your studio wall, too. Shoshi
Donna, I saw so many animals in your creation. Bird, fish, mule , elephant, 2 faces and oh it was so much fun watching you create. TFS! ArtsyChik Jeanne
Lovely. Like the subtle changes in the values. Not big on the words. I’m an abstract artist. It always amazes me how the painting changes from beginning and the end. 😂. When to know when to step away from the painting. Not always obvious
What a beautiful journey through a colourful landscape, slowly emerging into a sizzlingly delightful beautiful warm canvas with style and fascinating details. This is very attractive.
BEAUTIFUL! I am so inspired!!! I love how you paint w/ your hands. Thank you for sharing your process. I enjoyed the whole thing. The music was lovely too.
Ms. Downey... i came across your videos here on you tube and fell in love. You inspired me to pursue ME in my my painting. Thank you for sharing. I understand that each piece is a part of you and it is daunting to share sometimes. So i appreciate your bravery and willingness. Thank you.
The colors match quite nicely with the colors in the room. This doesn't have the look or feel of being a finger painting, but somehow and with the addition of some writing and line work - you were able to pull it off in the end. Good job - it looks great !
time lapse is my favorite.. I LOVED your big canvas.. had to complete my mixed media canvas that i started long ago.. Thankyou for the inspiration.. like always, im off to play :D oxox--
I stand on both sides of art... The modern and the renaissance..... I need the abstract to make the underpaintings at times, yet, with no offense meant, a one or two day painting created cannot even compare to one of the greats (de Kooning) as his took sometimes up to two years to finally complete. I really enjoy these videos. And, it takes courage to film. Maybe one day i can get that same courage😉. I love your colors (and music)
Awesome watching your process the shading seemed to drift across the lines you started with and then the blending just spread so well thanks for sharing as always stunning Donna huny :O)
Donna, I love watching your videos. I have a large canvas that I've been afraid to start. I am feeling inspired to give it a try. I l-o-v-e this new painting of yours ... the colors are yummy. I love the way you broke up the space. WOW! Fantastico! Michelle Collagefrog Nevada City, California
I'm curious as to why you have put in so much work onto the canvas in the early minutes and then all of a sudden you cover it up. I love both for different reasons. I could even see using both in the same balanced painting.... Keep up what you do, I love watching you grow!
Hello. It´s lovely to see how you share you knowledge and your fabulous painting skill. It's so beautiful how it came out. Thanks for sharing . I was wondering what for kind of paint you use. Acrilic or water paint ? Thanks i'm looking your video from Sardinia. And will try to make a canvas painting just for the fun hope to hear what for paint you use. Thanks all the best from Sardinia Italy.❤
