[prixtisa]

I love you work Carla!  You are very talented! :)

By watching your videos, I cant stop thinking that you may be a cancer-taurus :)

Hi!

Yes, all is going well, but the videorecorder is damaged, so we can't make vids at the moment :-)

[itsaworkofart]

Carla, Carla, Carla, you are my inspiration......hugs : July

[carlavandenberg]

I think it's very good if we can inspire each other. Hope you'll make a great artwork!

Carla,

I found your videos about a month ago and I just can't stop watching them! I've always loved textured art but never know how to achieve it. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I check to see if you have new videos daily. You brought back my passion to painting! THANK YOU!!

[carlavandenberg]

I'm very glad you like them, thank you!

But don't check daily because I've to do a lot of other work to do for living these days, I don't have time for painting at the moment...

Hi Carla, thanks very much for this video, and all your great videos. I watched them over and over, and used some of your techniques for 2 new works (I posted the 2 videos here on YouTube). Both have been accepted into a group show at a Toronto art gallery. Thank you so much for your informative videos, they have really helped me. THANK YOU!

[carlavandenberg]

It makes me smile to read this, thanks!

I will watch your new vids as soon as possible.

[marjamc]

Carla you are a constant source of inspiration to me!  Love your work...have all of your videos in my favorites...you are so talented and have such a love for what you do...it shows!

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks a lot Marjam :-)

Hi - I do work that is similar to your "fossil" work. You might be inted. BEst.

[carlavandenberg]

I just saw your vid "Making the textures for my textured paintings 2009" and I like a lot what I see. But I think it is not meant for canvas, and I like to work on canvas..

[pyramiaou]

As ever, great demo. I have been thinking about doing something like this lately, I gathered some pine needles from redwood trees to use... must get around to doing this soon!!

Thanks Carla, very inspiring.

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you Mary, I'm looking forward to see your work with using pine needles.

[NolaGB]

Love the technique and results, Carla! Great work. I don't think we have that type of leaf or frond where I am, unfortunately ... I'd love to try it out.

[carlavandenberg]

I think you can use other leafs as well. Just look around and see what you can find ;)

[ingridgans]

What a nice surprise to find another great video from you! The next best thing to seeing you live :)

I really love the colours in this one and am definitely going to try this out. Thanks dear generous woman.

[carlavandenberg]

Dank je Ingrid. Ik hoop dat alles weer in orde is met je auto.

[ingridgans]

Ja, er zit weer een mooi raam in. En gelukkig zijn de Tomtoms intussen een stuk goedkoper geworden.

[carlavandenberg]

Dat is dan een gelukje bij een ongelukje ;)

[fvfrau]

Hi Carla, thats a wonderful idea ... you're a inspiration to me ... thank you, dear

greetings from Grit

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks Grit, nice to read your comment :)

[itsaworkofart]

Hi Carla! I LOVE your art. You are the"Queen" of 'textures'! i learn a lot from you. thank you so much for sharing your techniques with us! Luv : July

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks July, you make me blush ;-)

[MyVisibleSoul]

Inspirational, thank you so much!

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks for watching.

[jonathanotten]

great idea, my lovely Carla. Perfectly filmed.

[carlavandenberg]

Dank dank. Maar dat kan wel beter hoor Joey, dat filmen van mij :-)

De schroef waarmee je het toestel op een statief kunt plaatsen is kapot, die was nl van plastic! en nu dus al afgesleten. Dat betekent dat je 'm of met 1 hand vast moet houden terwijl je met de andere schildert, of schuin op een boek zet ofzo...

[artyoxygen]

Beautiful fossil art. The colours that you have used to build up the layers are so very apt! I'm going to try this out. Thanks for sharing.

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks. Let me know what happens when you make one!

[lettherebeart]

Excellent as always carla thanks for sharing

[carlavandenberg]

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you Donna!

[artsycalgal]

I forwarded your video to my daughter-in-law who works with a group of home schooled students. I think it will be the perfect art project for them! Thanks for generously sharing your techniques.

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you Donna!

[lpatencio]

awe, very beautiful. I thought that was a baking pan you put that on in the beginning. Another excellent tutor video!

[carlavandenberg]

LOL You mean the canvas with black gesso, a baking pan?! :-))

Thanks Lisa.
