Technically we do studies every Friday. Mark, you're one of the masters now.

I think she used a very fine pen or created the original art at a larger size, also I think she used Sepia rather than a dark black ink. And I enjoyed the video a lot! Great idea for a new series and a great reminder of the importance of studying the masters to learn techniques! Thanks keep up the great content!

i used to think you were pretty good with water colour, but next to beatrix potter. i gotta say she makes it look easy. the way her colours swirl together is just fantastic to look at.

You really see the subtle details! I envy your watercolor skills :)! I might have to try watercolor on my own channel however right now its gonna stay speed painting! Very nice video

Beautiful job, Mark! I love Beatrix Potter's lovely paintings, too, and have also practiced her style. You did her proud!

I used to have a Peter Rabbit wallpaper in my room as a kid with various illustrations from Beatrix Potter. I remember sitting at my desk and trying to draw as beautifully as she did, but it never worked out 😅

Gorgeous! I adore Beatrix Potter's work, I'm interested in trying this as well. (I also love the song playing in this, very relaxing to work to)

Hi Mark, I love how you drew and painted this cute painting!❤it brings back memories of my childhood. I hope you will do more of Beatrix Potter painting. Thanks for sharing. Helene

I loved these tiny books with her illustrations in it when I was a kid!

[PastelBaby]

Ahhh you're still so talented as ever 😭 I hope you'll reach 3 million very soon! I love the piece and this will be such an amazing series to see you grow more as an artist 💕

Also if you havent already, could you do a video about making certain effects with color pencils?? Like if someone had fire hands or holding something that's glowing? Or if they had cuts and bruises? I'm struggling to do effects with my prismas....mainly glowing...

Peter Rabbit was one of my first books. I poured over her illustrations for hours. And I still have it to this day.

[moxtuu]

thank you for sharing this challenge and practise. it is very brave to show us something you are struggling with still and being so open about it. I'd love to see this become a series!

also i think you did a very good job on your illustration. the lines indeed are thicker than in the original but I think you captured the atmosphere and lightness of her art very well.

I'm such a fan of beatrix potter. I grew up with the books and they were the first real drawings I did as a kid that gave me my love for art. Miss tiggywinkle was always my favourite! You did her justice! Xxxx

There are so many books on BP but on I found to be a great book to learn about her style dubbed as showing BPotters “other art” . Her beginnings and span of her Natural History studies. Authored by museum curator of the Beatrix Potter collection at the Tate Gallery. Called “BP’s Art paintings and drawings selected and introduced by Anne Stevenson Hobbs”.

Hey Mark, I just would like to say that you have been a big inspiration for me to help with my manga drawings. I have managed to get your three book serious for Mastering Manga. I would like to say that those books are really amazing and super detailed. Thank you so much and please keep doing what your doing!!

Love, love, love Beatrix Potter, especially the film Miss Beatrix Potter 💕

[Poorstargazer]

What a great series idea! Hope to watch more of these studies.

This turned out so beautiful, Sir!! I'm in awe of how you managed to do the whole thing without a blob of ink escaping, because I totally would have had ink blobs 😁
