Catch Your Breath – Painting timelapse video (Studio Time 20)

Painting timelapse video of the birth of a painting…

Every now and then, you need to CATCH YOUR BREATH because life can be such a rollercoaster, right???

Watch the (very sped up) painting timelapse video below to see how this painting developed, from an unfinished canvas into a stunning (if I may say so myself!) mixed media painting full of colour, light and meaning (click here to find out more about it).

I am really excited about how this painting turned out andΒ it goes to show (as I always say) that, it’s worth leaving a painting alone for long as you need if it doesn’t feel right πŸ˜‰

PS: This is not a tutorial so I will not explain what supplies or techniques IΒ have used (please don’t ask, just enjoy). Thank you πŸ˜‰

  1. I just watched your Catch Your Breath video and loved it. I also love the open circle stencil and looked online but couldn’t find it. Would you mind sharing where I can buy it? thanks. I am ordering your book.

      Thank you so much Jeanie!

  2. Just want to thank you again for sharing your videos etc. I love watching the progression and am always amazed at the process. About a quarter of the way in I’m always like “…what? where is she going with this?” always knowing it’s going to look great at the end, but still always amazed. πŸ™‚ the depth created by all those layers just makes me smile. πŸ™‚

  5. Hi Mimi,
    Wow, love your technique, I have watched all your ‘Studio time’ videos for inspiration and just received your book.
    I have set myself up in the spare room and I am really looking forward to getting started.
    Your cheerful positive outlook is as inspiring as your painting.
    Looking forward to seeing more of your work in 2016.
