Yes! Just over 2.5 hours from now. I just like to get the link ready early

Claire

Claire

Oh gosh, didn’t understand it was at 1:00 MT. Will have to miss

Christine

So excited. First livestream :)

L. Wright

My first live stream..I’m ready!

Shirley

First time for me too 😁

Gramley

Oh no, me too :(

Janet H

Not sure how to chat-

Susan Guenther

How do we see the comments in the live?

Mary A

Hello, I am joining you from Arlington, VA

Judy

Can you zoom in for close up on the scratching or details?

Bonnie Garcia

i don't know how you get all these beautiful colors when, to me, your palette looks like a big mish-mosh mess! Ahh! I can't do it!

Alex

Kristin thanks for this, it was fun. One suggestion for future live sessions, I found it much easier to use one palete I knew how to lighten or darken colour quickly and put all my attention in the rocks themselves, creating shadows, tones, lines and variations and than trying to find your blends as it takes me so much time I've lost what you really want to explain. All my exercise tonight ended up in tones of sand and brown. I hope that helps you to keep newer painters focused on the essentials of the lesson and not get lost in how to blend a particular colour at fast pace.

L. Wright

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed it. The pacing was perfect..I didn’t feel rushed.

Barbi

Thanks, Kristin! Enjoyed the rock class!❤️

Debi

Me too!! Meet up would be great!!

Paula

How do I hide the comments on phone? It takes up half my screen 😟

Kellie S.

Doing this after the stream…I don’t know why I have so many blooms in just my first two rock types…and my second set of rocks look like the poop emoji! I never can blend smoothly.

Kellie S.

I also cannot define the rock ledges and make the blobs look linear at all.

Laura Curley

I have a different perspective on this. I know my palette and can easily reach for a brown or green when needed if I don't have time to color mix/match what Kristin's doing. However, attempting to follow along with her color mixes even 75% of the time has really expanded my knowledge of color theory. I have gotten so much better and faster at this with practice. I like that she uses a limited palette, but I wouldn't mind the addition of some basics like burnt umber, burnt sienna, etc., at times. Just reach for a similar color if you don't have time to mix it on your own.

Alex

Your "know" and "practice" are the game changers. I totally agree what you say is the way to grow. My point was that as a newbie i found jumping around palettes AND working shapes at the same time too much, so focusing on one exercise only helped me get more out of the evening. It was all good fun and much appreciated. Practice makes perfect :)

Anne Whittock

Just done this “live stream” on replay today in rainy Manchester UK . Loved it. Thank you so much. Favourite has got to be the scratching.

Kristin Van Leuven

You might just have too much water on your brush when you go back in to add more color

Kristin Van Leuven

My husband has been telling me to do this for years! Now that all my kids will be in school full time in the fall I can maybe start thinking about it haha
