 Hello and welcome to Monet Café. I'm artist Susan Jenkins. We're gonna have some fun today And if you're new here, please subscribe and hit that little bell icon to be notified of future videos Well, this is going to be somewhat of a different painting tutorial on my channel real and raw painting footage this is a painting that took less than 15 minutes and I'm using the technique that I shared in my video just before this one where we just get spontaneous Paint a lot of colors get a lot of boards ready, and this is a board I had Available when I had a spontaneous moment now the reason I'm calling this I'll talk more about this board And how I made it in a minute the reason I'm calling this real and raw Painting footage is because I'm not doing any editing to this at all literally just turning my camera on and Sitting down to paint now. This is a rare moment. I don't often have moments when my house is this totally quiet so it was kind of nice just to have 15 minutes to paint and One of the reasons that I felt motivated to share this is I'm literally about to go out of town right now To be with my mom. She's having a pretty serious surgery done on Monday and I She's about three and a half hours away from me But I am packing up my art supplies taking my show on the road So to speak to be able to carry on as an artist while I'm there helping her recuperate her recovery time should be anywhere from three to six weeks, so I wanted to be able to stay in business, but Also take a limited amount of supplies not take everything. I have obviously so this is my last video before I leave to go there and I'll add a little bit of very Low volume music to this because I want you to just hear the scratchy sounds of the pastel on the board I will describe what I am working on here This is a piece of matte board that I had prepared with the same technique that I mentioned is in the video before this one Just with some color applied to the board and I like using bright colors And then some clear gesso and I think this kind of painting is Really great because we can keep the energy in the painting when we know it's more of a study And it's going to be 15 minutes or less And I love how often they don't feel overworked. They feel very fresh Now I purposely made my strokes with my gesso In a energetic way. I wasn't trying to be very consistent. So it adds to that nice textural feel So you guys just enjoy this you will see me though after I it looks very textured right now After I get a little bit of my board covered for the most part I use my little chamois cloth technique of Blending it in and then it all of a sudden it kind of makes more sense. So enjoy raw real footage real time and the video is pretty short You know only about 15 minutes or a little more and I'd love to know what you guys think about this if you'd like a little bit More video content where it's just raw footage and just watching me paint It certainly would be faster for me to not have to edit so much But I'm actually for my patrons one of the things I am going to be introducing soon is literally live Studio content where my patrons can tune in on a certain day a week that I will announce and just Literally watch me in the studio and watch what I'm doing and painting. So alright guys Let me know what you think and try it yourself and I'll be back at the end well, I hope you guys enjoyed that very real and raw footage and Real-time footage and of course, you know me with purple if you're a patron of mine or you've been following my channel I had to add some of that beautiful purple and it just made everything very alive and rich So I love the freshness of these paintings. These are a couple more that I did actually from the previous lesson go check that one out if you'd like to know how to make these boards and If you're a praying person say some prayers from my mother and I can't wait to be back Which won't be long. Alright guys. Happy painting
