so, this is my second post of the evening… but i couldn’t wait to share this cute video that my friend, Vanessa, made for me. it’s the start to finish process of one of my paintings. this took place over the course of about two and a half hours (not necessarily the average time spent on a painting… but i chose an idea to do for this video that could be filmed in one evening). here are photos of the finished painting….
it’s also on my site here.
have a lovelyyyy evening. XO. elsie

Oh Elsie! This is the most beautiful thing … thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Stunning. =D
I love your work!!!
i love that green dress! so cute!
that was awesome. loved watching the process. you are crazy talented, girl. 😉
holy cupcakes…that was so incredibly beautiful…both the process and the finished product. :] lovelovelove
I love watching a painting come together. So glad you shared yours. People have such different processes and it was interesting to see yours. I was so surprised to see you start with that one block on the bottom right corner and those lines before filling in the other color but then I saw the effect afterward. Cool. Makes me want to pull out my paints.
I also love what you wrote on the building.
I’m involved in this event we’ve started doing in Phoenix where we have an artist come in to a restaurant and create something from start to finish. People are invited to come bring their own art pieces to work on there, and my husband shoots the video and streams it live for people to watch online. Here’s a link in case you’re interested in seeing how that works. I can see you participating in something similar:
