New {Painting In Motion} video: Transform

My Creative Hollow (ie my home art studio) is far from being really done, but it's okay. I even have decided that the non-finished painted walls are kinda great like they are (the top edges are not painted), it gives a sense of «in progress» I like, actually.

But I really was needing to get back to painting and art journaling, after a 3-week break. My husband and my mom made me noticed that it was beginning to really affect my mood.

I wanted to do a new {Painting in Motion} video for ages and to record the first painting created in this new beginning that is our life here.

I finally pointed out also what was causing the creative hole I was in: I want to paint on big surfaces and feel constricted on my usual sizes (8x10" and such). But I want to use the surfaces I already have so it won't lay around here for ever.
I will also probably listen to my husband's advice and use the old canvases used but that I don't like and re-do them. What's on it will serve as a start for texture and color, and we'll see what'll happen from there. Promise to be interesting !

I am currently in the amazing Mindy Lacefield online class (finishing this week BUT she will soon be offering an «at your own pace» version of it, for those of you who wanted to wait a bit etc) called «Paint your story».
I really don't regret spending my money on this. She is a fabulous teacher and the community gathered in her class is just fantastic. What she teaches us in the class is centered around play, finding again how to let our 7yo self out while painting and creating.

You know how building meaningful artwork is dear to my heart, and this is really the class I needed for that. To get the permission to use bold colors and symbols even if only I understand them. And that the story I tell in my painting does not have to be unfold, everyone can see in it what s-he wanna/needs (to) see.

I struggled A LOT with her face. Now, I know why but on the moment I was just very frustrated. This is in moments like this that I am happy I learned not to be too attached to a painting until I feel like it's finished, so I can build over and cover up when needed.

I love filming when I paint because often, I forget my process, and I then can use my videos as a library of past processes. AND sharing it with people give me plenty of fresh eyes, allowing me to see stuff I did not.
I wish I'd know more about the editing process though, but it will come.
I wanted to do a voice over comment, and started. But when I listened to the first segments, the noise from outside were too present, added to my cold it was just not good enough. So sorry, not this time again.

Here it is (be warned, despite me speeding up, it is quite a long one):

It's not easy to find all the material I've used but here is what I was able to find, hoping that helps:
