I like the extra splashes, color and detail you have put in the finished painting shown at the very end of the video, obviously after the demo itself ended! Really helps bring it out of the ordinary. Thanks for sharing such a lengthy and helpful demo, Cathy!
Thank you, Cathy. I learned a lot watching this video. I love old neighborhoods and old houses; it takes an artist like you to see its soul and make it visible for everyone.
Kate, it's great fun to see you painting. I love the background summer noises as you paint. The shadows on the roof and side of the shed and the little fence you added at the very end are also marvelous. I hope you make many more of these. Roz
Such fun to watch you paint. I really picked up so many pointers from this video. I tend to shy away from the big flat brushes. But I think you have changed that. I am off to give it another try. Thanks Kate!
I really enjoyed watching your demo Kate! Only you can take an ordinary little scene and make it extraordinary with your artistic touches! Hope you make more of these.
Wow, I love watching you work!! and hearing the jay chattering and seeing the sun make shadows as you paint. You can make any scene into a gorgeous work of art! Thanks for sharing ..(2nd try at a comment, so will try anonymous)...LOL...Hannah
Yeah that worked...I will watch this again for sure, Kate...and now trying to see if my Google sign in will work .sorry to clutter your page...Thank you again...Hannah
I really enjoyed this.. Thanks for sharing. I am going thru your Artists journal workshop book again.. Loving that too, but its fun to see a video with your work in action.
Kate, great video! I'm going to give a large-ish flat brush a try. You are able to get so much variety in your strokes using it here, you've inspired me. I also love how you use the sharp end of the handle for drawing with the paint. More inspiration! Seeing you work is always a pleasure. Thanks so much for all your generosity. Tchau-wow!
So glad you all enjoyed it! I use flat brushes a lot, even Niji's flat waterbrush...I just really like how versatile they are, and how much ground they can cover.
What a perfect water container. What was it before it became your water container? And thank you so much for sharing your videos. They are wonderful and inspiring.
Loved watching this! The sounds of the insects and the changing shadows were a great touch of summer and real life. It was amazing to watch you take such an ordinary scene and make it into a beautiful sketch.
I just bought your journal and am savoring it. . . and now I found your blog. . . and I feel like the luckiest person! Thank you for being so generous with teaching us about sketching. I feel so inspired! Absolutely loved this video and how you walked us through your process. Thanks again! -Lisa
aww thanks for the reply Ms. Cathy. your brushes look great. Are they synthetic, sable or mixed? I already have a size 2 and 4 sable brushes and planning to buy a larger one. Series 7 are too costly for bigger brushes. lol. So I'm trying to find one that would cost me less. :)
They're mostly synthetic, with a few mixed--I paint on the spot a lot, and there's no way I'd chance a brush that cost that much! I love the newer synthetics--good point, hold a lot of water. Check Loew-Cornell brushes, especially--they have several lines that are hard to beat!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, all, I'm glad you like it. I've always been fascinated by alleys and garages and sheds...suburbs don't seem to have alleys any more!
ReplyDeleteThis video provided a pleasurable interlude in a busy day. Thanks ever so for sharing it!

ReplyDeleteThat's what it was meant for, you can buy them in art supply stores! Cool, eh? And thank you!
ReplyDeleteI really, really enjoyed watching this, Miss Kate. I will echo Ruca's comments and am reminded to wield a flat brush more often!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet! I REALLY like those flat brushes...I think I could get by with one big round with a good point, and a 3/4" flat, if I had to!

ReplyDelete(I meant I bought your book Artist's Journal Workshop. )
ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Cathy, I'm looking forward to your online workshop at Strathmore. Btw, what is the brand of the brush that you're using in the video?
ReplyDeleteI believe it's one of Princeton's new ones. I like them!
ReplyDeleteaww thanks for the reply Ms. Cathy. your brushes look great. Are they synthetic, sable or mixed? I already have a size 2 and 4 sable brushes and planning to buy a larger one. Series 7 are too costly for bigger brushes. lol. So I'm trying to find one that would cost me less. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm going to blickart later to check out those brushes.. :)
