This challenge is pushing me to try stuff I’ve been scare of Michele. Thx as always. 🥰💕🐶💕🥰
Brilliant, new skills to acquire. Many thanks .
this is a fantastic technique, will have to give this a shot on my own channel ❤❤❤
How long did you take in real time to paint this? not to sure where i can pick the photo graph to use as my guide.
Day one successfully completed. I like that we are trying different techniques.
So beautiful! 🤩
Have finished the exercise, isn’t dry & I fear colours aren’t too good. Will,see. Good lesson though & an interesting exercise. Thanks. Will check in later.
This is amazing, I can't wait to have a go. Thanks again, Michele 😊
This is beautiful. Can’t wait to try it!
Just finished this one. Never thought of using oil pastel as a resist. Brilliant!
Lovely to see you paint again
Dear Michelle: just started the Day 2 challenge (a bit behind but you know how some days can go), assembled supplies and watched the video: you almost made me cry! Your issue about the imperfection of the sky got me! So often I do a less than stellar job, and then I despair! But seeing how you handled your painting: wait for it to dry, then add more paint! Not a frustration but a way of making it work! No need to start over.. just let it dry! Sounds almost like a lesson about life. Your tutorials are easy to follow and give results, even with challenges. PS- the oil pastel technique is brilliant!
Love you telling us to “hold your nerve.” Surprisingly important in watercolor painting. 😅
Oh gosh I forgot just how challenging it is to get oil pastels gingerly down onto the paper to look naturally. This was definitely a great challenge! Thanks for sharing this video!🥰 💕
Thank you for the time, effort and creative energy you have put into this series of winter landscapes. I am really enjoying painting along with you. I’m learning so much. I really need to spend more time studying snow scenes, but it’s a bit difficult here in the sun tropics as we launch into summer 😂
Definitely having a go at this one. Enjoyed the first day. This one looks fun too.😄😀🥳
I painted this and I’m proud of my result!
