Thank you for the inspiration.
Your hair is 💥
It sure is also a matter of taste; I just really like the impressionistic and impasto pathway you seem to be on.
Fantastic! I love your style and your teaching method.
Every once in a while I try to get in a couple of gesture portraits, which I learned from Jeff Watts. You have taken the technique to a whole different, and quite pleasing, level!!! Beautiful work…
I was hoping you'd make a video like this! I've been curious about Alla Prima and impressionistic processes as I normally paint much more realistically and in a lot of layers. Fantastic work and fantastic teaching!
I love your drawing of all kinds
And your expectations of the beautiful and an international and respected painter
And I like your hair to be golden 👏👏👏
To be beautiful 💃💃💃💃
Love your hair colour, it took 50 years for mine to turn that colour!
Thank you Chelsea!! This is a great video!!
I just love your work. I wish I could paint that loosely.
I love your hair! ❤️
my favorite painting you have done so far and I've liked a lot of your pieces
👏🖤
Wonderful painting. Please show mixing colour plate also for learners.
The picture is so beautiful, I love your drawing ❤️
Absolutely stunning work ! Wish my work wasn't as tight, but my brain doesn't seem to tend to doing loose
Mijn grote complimenten voor je openheid en schilderstijl 🥰
I love watching your evolution from fantastic to fantasticer. xoxo
Amazing! Do you premix any colours?
Hi Chelsea, love your work and appreciate all you do for us artists! I was wondering if you offer a mentorship or any type of help with the business side of being a professional artist? Thanks so much!
Great 🙂 ♡
I can't concentrate
I am really trying to get out of my head and loosen up. I really appreciated all of the tips as well as watching you paint, how you make the marks, how you negotiate darks and lights, how you suggest things like fingers, and how you hold your brush. Thank you!
What a wonderful lesson! Thanks so much!
