Hey guys! I'm back with another Art Journal Thursday Episode! I'm sorry that I had to skip one week, but I was too sick to do anything! But I'm back! Let me know what other videos would you like to see in the future! I will be in Tbilisi in Georgia with my mum for a short trip, but you can expect another video on Saturday!

[@ДилянаМанова-ш6ю]

[@ainsliecurran-ngasi6165]

I tried these and they obviously didn’t come out the exact same but I learned some stuff to make it easier. 1. You should pause the video one step at a time 2. When blending alway use the same strokes Ex: Forwards to back or up and down 3. When you think something looks good keep it that way and don’t try and fix it or it might make it worse, unless you know what you are doing and have enough confidence, but I’m guessing that most people are beginners if they watch this 4. IT WON’T LOOK THE EXACT SAME SO DONT GET UPSET IF YOU THINK IT’S BAD!!!!!!!! 5. It will look different because YOU are the one who made it so it is your own original! 6. Have fun! Edit: 54 likes is the most I have ever gotten thanks!!! Edit: 194 likes thank you guysss

Why I don't drink any drinks while painting : Almost cleaned brush with drink Almost drank brush-cleaning water

[@cutedarkarts]

Aya Chø mason jars are useful for helping to stop that. Keep them in view, keep your normal drink out of view. If that doesn't work, dye your drink with liquid food colouring, make it a bright colour. I usually make it yellow or red

[@Ayesha-se4xf]

Hahah same! :P

[@sophielynne2213]

@@cutedarkarts or you could do the easy thing and drink out of a cup with a cap

[@cutedarkarts]

Sophie Lynne you mean a bottle? And I usually drink mixed drinks, so a bottle is not easy for me to make it in. So using colour to differentiate is easier. Plus, not everyone has bottles to use, reusable ones or not.

[@sophielynne2213]

@@cutedarkarts I'm just saying it's easier to use something in a cap because you could be using the same color as your drink and make your paint water that color, but whatever floats your boat

I just started acrylic last month and I absolutely love it! I did watercolor for 2 years but I love the opaqueness of acrylic paints!

[@mizzzee6901]

This was my very first painting I ever tried and wow! I wish I could show you the outcome! You are so transparent in your teachings. I will be trying out the galaxy and mountain one tomorrow :) Can’t wait! And then ALL the rest. Thank you so much for these videos! You are amazing

[@kamillaiqbal2167]

I love doing flowers...of all kinds and colors..intricate petals and i do a collage that fills up the whole painting! Its great!

[@sammiarehman3635]

I painted using the techniques that you have taught in this video. It was my first painting on a canvas and it turned out to be awesome! I love your channel. Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dwener9333]

After watching this I immediately subscribed to her channel, her angelic voice feels so warming

[@meme9272]

So beautiful. I love all of them but my favorite is the middle one. I love the idea of doing a sunset but with the moon as the focus. I also like the technique you used on the right side painting, as I think it looks realistic that way.

[@haronahmed8299]

I am very inspired by painting of you kevin hill and Bob ross am so great full 🌕 to thank you all for your good efforts to provide and share your ways of painting . Am artist too since my childhood.

[@oliviaseahh]

I did this, it turned out pretty good for my first try and I'm proud of it. It didn't look like yours, but I still love the end result. (yours was SUPER btw! :3)

[@fluffkin7432]

commento cose try to be as Gentle as possible and remember that there are no mistakes in art you can build on from it

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

I know this is from a while ago, but I want you to know that I have rather poor fine motor control, but I can still paint. Your situation may not be like this, but don't worry about trying to make your hands cooperate, and just focus on the experience you're gaining and the things you're learning.
