Dive Into Art YouTube Premiere Event
We had the most amazing time at our Bloomz YouTube Premiere on Sunday…
I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous, as it was my first experience of an event like this, but apart from one minor glitch at the start which was quickly rectified, it went without a hitch, and was SUCH an enjoyable couple of hours.
In the words of one person:
“When I saw the schedule, I thought it might be a bit endless watching all the videos through…
but time really flew by… it was really good fun…
AND… I worked out the hidden phrase and entered the competition… YES…!!”
Each video is around 11-12 minutes long, and we were all so different in what we shared, and the approach we took to our videos.
Everyone has been really generous in sharing their talents and techniques, it’s one thing I love about The Bloomz Arthouse, we are all artists supporting each other, and helping and inspiring others along the way. I hope you enjoy the schedule that has been put together for you.
There’s still time to watch the replays, just click the YouTube links here:
The Bloomz Arthouse Collective https://youtu.be/ed756TexSNs A short introduction to the event by Cindy. (Watch out for Henry, who always video bombs Cindy’s videos!!) and browse through the possible prizes up for grabs in the mega prize draw.

Fiona Hooper https://youtu.be/b1Ldy7eGZLE Watch Fiona create an amazing Cornish seascape in oils using palate knifes, she explains how she gets some of the energy and feeling of the scene into her paintings. I’m sure you’ll agree, a super talented artist.
Sammy Hexter-Andrews https://youtu.be/DjyyIdRGbYY Abstract Artist and wordsmith Sammy explains what goes into her creative process before ever beginning to put paint onto a canvas, the planning that takes place, and her “six W’s” that make up the narrative of her abstract pieces… a fascinating insight into Sammy’s abstract world.
Elisa Colangeli https://youtu.be/qBsDig3IV8s Transport yourself to Italy, and listen to Elisa’s emotive story and discovery of art and intuitive painting. I can relate so strongly to parts of her story, and I love how Elisa is now guiding women to discover themselves, embrace imperfection, and move from blank canvas to the deepest layers of their souls using the medium of art.
Stephanie Lester https://youtu.be/xKphtx9zR1I Watch Stephanie sharing her amazing needle felted Garden of Eden… including a silver hoofed Pegasus, the cutest Meercat, a Puffin, a Kestrel with 300 hand made feathers, and a Pangolin, with 400 scales… WOW! She also shows you how she creates the skeletal structure of her pieces, and then creates an incredible needle felted tiger!
Steve Brookes https://youtu.be/Xy-kGDgnbE4 Steve creates wacky lamps out of plumbing pipework… yes, you read that right! Discover some amazing illuminated likenesses; from Darth Vader to Freddie Mercury, and many others… In this video, Steve creates a golfer, in full swing, driving off the tee (including handmade, to scale, driver and golf ball.. of course…) Watch as he shares his process from cleaning the fittings, wiring up the lamp, adding the touch sensor, and other finishing touches… fascinating!
Mac McGregor https://youtu.be/0LWw2yE59RE Artist and soul guide, Mac explains her jaw dropping reason for creating art with gum; her journey since being bed bound. At one point, unable to chew or brush her hair. She created pieces ‘airworks’ in her mind, which in time, came into form. A very thought provoking and meditative video, reflecting a remarkable journey.
Julie Wrathall https://youtu.be/NynVBl98r7M Last but not least, it’s my turn… in my video, I create a natural encaustic layered piece, using R&F Pigment sticks, PanPastels, dried flowers and grasses, embedded within multiple layers of encaustic medium.
I hope you enjoy watching the replays of our Premiere event… Don’t forget you have until midnight on Sunday 18th September UK time, to enter the competition to win £50 and £400 prizes, watch the videos, collect the hidden words, and enter.
YOU HAVE A REALLY GREAT CHANCE OF WINNING A PRIZE!
Here’s the piece I create on my video…
Hope you enjoy, do let me know…
