This was so relaxing to watch :) Please could we have a tour of your previous finished sketchbook?

Just found you on YouTube and I'm now a fan. For what it's worth, I hate speed painting videos and feel they convey almost no content. In contrast, watching you paint in real time is great. Thanks.

I’m obsessed with this art book. So much green and life ❤🍃

Love how you said not everything you do has to move you forward in art, but to take the time to just enjoy it. I've spent too many years being hard on myself/hating my art, rather than just relaxing with painting for itself. Weirdly, I probably would have improved more had I done this as I rarely get out my sketchbook. I really want to change that this year, and this has helped put things in perspective. Beautiful paintings, too!

Beautiful spread and really like the real time footage.

OMFG, I literally grabbed my sketchbook cuz I'm working on a series of drawings/paintings of just the backs of feet in high heels, maybe a beautifully f=gloved hand or a string of pearls on it, and then I'm surrounding them with kimono patterns and art nouveau style patterns. That negative painting you did is literally exactly the same as one I did!!!! A bunch of different sized lily pads with that lighter star pattern in the middle, viney shapes, and then YELLOW TUBULAR FLOWERS on top! You painted over yours, but I would love it if you did it over again just to see how close your flowers would have come to mine! A beautiful pattern is a beautiful pattern and artists really do think alike sometimes!!😄😄😄

Woahhhh ok just got to the negative watercolour technique….the abstract shapes to begin with 🤤 the green 🤤

I would love to see an even slower version ❤

Me encanta tu honestidad y tu manera sincera de explicar los procesos y tu relación con el arte. Otro video estupendo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[annam.myburgh]

Love the real time painting! Totally agree that it gives a better insight into process. Beautiful finished piece too ❤

[XeniaSketchbookPages]

This video is so calming ❤ Last year I draw only "trending" things and guess what... I burned out. Now I returned to my favorite thing - cozy illustrations and cute characters. And I love it 😊

[suzannestevens]

This is very inspiring to watch! Thks.

[shifajannat]

Keep on uploading your wonderful videos. 💙

Your plant paintings look great. Very realistic.

[nickymartz]

This spread is stunning. Your highlights are perfection.

This is beautiful! I love watching how others use gouache since I'm just learning! You make the plants and pots have so much depth. I love it thanks so much for posting :)

[Tiinasdiary]

I was painting while watching this video and it was super relaxing! I love how the plants and pots turned out 🌿✨

[Barb.u]

I love seeing your process, specially starting a new sketchbook. By the way, do you have a favorite sketchbook to use?

[maralfniqle]

Love your content, fab paintings, you're very blessed with talent. Including the names of the colours you use would be so helpful for us trying to learn to use different greens etc.

Wow, what an awesome spread! And that large negative painting looks so 3D
