Sketchbook Date with Nature at a Japanese Garden

[@marcoantonio-df4mr]

Garden is the word in this video

[@marcoantonio-df4mr]

[@thexyr]

Honestly for some reason or actually i know the reason is you being so spiritually positive and hardworking, you always leave me happier , inspired and curious. Thank you

[@artofjesskarp]

Wow, thank you! Thanks so much for watching.

[@bluewren65]

Lovely to see the same subject drawn using the same medium through the hands and eyes of two artists. Both ink drawings are fabulous. It's a great illustration of why you should never try to emulate someone else's style. Only your hands and your brain will make marks in a particular way and that is what makes your work special.

[@Kiptoe]

Such a beautiful episode, the themes of going with the flow and your heart, letting nature guide you to find something and be present. I think the way you capture nature with your sketchbook paintings is so cool, you bring out the vibrance and the essence of the place in a way that amplifies the feeling you have, rather than just the scenery. Its really beautiful. Thanks for sharing your art, your vision, and your wisdom 🙏

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much! This is beautiful! 😊

[@sajilsewpersad2209]

No, but I love the fact that you and Zac have such similar energies. You both capture your art in a different way yet it's both so beautiful and inspirational.

[@becks-zs14]

Zac needs a KZbin channel ASAP! 🤩

[@estherhyneman9127]

I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks that.

[@ChantelleArts]

I can’t believe how quickly you painted that gouache piece!? 😮 drawing and painting outside are so relaxing, it’s lovely to see you’re encouraging more people to do so ❤

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much 😀

[@anthonyw2931]

I had the same exact sentiment. 30 min!?!

[@ChantelleArts]

@@anthonyw2931 I know right? 😂

[@peachesyuson8989]

That bird at the end of the video would have been fun to paint. The background and the motion the bird did was just perfect! Thank you for sharing this with us, Jess. It gave me such a calming vibe this morning ☺️🙏☀️🌅

[@InkRebellion]

Its quite interesting the way Jess sketches with ink, like she mostly sees the ambient occlusion, creates a lovely depth, great job!

[@silvertales]

That looks like Morikami. I used to go for Obon every year when I still lived in Miami. I love the bonsai garden and random stone lanterns scattered throughout the property. I highly recommend going to their Obon festival, it’s crowded but a fantastic event where they float the lanterns for those who have passed on the lake at the end of the night.

[@ABHIGYANDIXIT]

Our intuition is a self reflection of nature.

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Jess, A wonderful painting and such a lovely use of gouache! I often think people do not use the transparency of this unique medium. Your painting techniques are so wonderful and quite beautiful too! I have that love/hate relationship with this medium I know it is from when I worked in a studio that made sure ALL of the gouache paintings were destroyed after the job was completed. The photo's were made and boom! into the circular file they went! That's a fancy was to say trash can! Thanks for sharing this time with your friend with us. Have a lovely day!

[@SharonCullenArt]

When i saw your video poop up yesterday I couldn’t wait to watch. I always look forward to your videos. I think it’s safe to say you’re my favorite channel on KZbin. Thank you for such terrific content. And the others are right, Zack should start his own channel!

[@shwetadube7069]

This proves, nature is our best friend 💜💜

[@artofjesskarp]

Absolutely!! Thanks

[@mikegrant4424]

Sure love your little piece of heaven here kiddo....thanks for sharing with an old artist...

[@elisaacord4920]

Your videos are what I look forward to after working nights as a nurse. ❤

[@SigneofHorses]

Het fell in love with square sketchbooks.. it just made sense to my brain. And even now I find it perfect to translate drawings made within a square or the double square rectangle to a canvas of any proportion. This was again a lovely video and it makes me want to go out and draw..

[@suchitrashrivastav745]

A constant smile stayed with me with you guyz❤

[@mad.eli_]

Love every piece you make, from all the little strokes and moments captured by your pen and ink, absolutely amazing

[@marcoantonio-df4mr]

Hey! She said delicacy 👍

[@marcoantonio-df4mr]

You go Jess spark Your 🙏🌹🤳

[@Ghostrob2023]

Good morning, Jess and thank you for the sketch book date with you and your friend. He's a really good artist just like you and enjoy the scenery in the video as well. Have a wonderful day and happy drawing.

[@artofjesskarp]

Good morning! Thanks so much for watching

[@Ghostrob2023]

@@artofjesskarp You're welcome, Jess.

[@Arpanas_Garden]

I'm literally in love with your art... Like how are you so creative girl!!! Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!

[@Ui_ghadeer]

Love you and love your soul, you’re the best artist I’ve ever seen🤍🤍.

[@chelseysmith6805]

I love your videos so much. I don't paint very much at all. I'm a mother with 2 daughters, 7 and 9, and they watch you occasionally. You're a great role model for all of us. You are very wise and articulate. I love watching you layers of art come together...and what I mean is your videography skills add another dimension to you painting and sketching. I appreciate you so much! Thank you for being you!

[@thesketchylittlebird]

The bird at the end is called an Anhinga aka "snake bird." I just saw one for the first time about a week and a half ago in Daytona.

[@rmgalardo]

I miss Morikami so much! One of my favorite places to visit when I lived in the area

[@CJShopland_Art]

6:33 the edge of the micron; how I use it, fine liner such versatile tool, can get away with just the one :) 0.8 is more my go to but the edge still light and thin lines.

[@AFski]

Zac's voice though 👌🏻✨

[@noplotjustgoblins]

I've always wanted to do that at the Morikami. That's awesome!

[@artofjesskarp]

Yes! Thanks!!

[@diariesofanomad]

You make all things possible Jess, thank you for your grace ❤

[@anthonyw2931]

Seriously, Jess. We should have you listed as one of the Wonders of the World. Your dates are better than what I’d have idealized as perfect. Your skills are more than impressive, but how you talk to everyone and your eyes! Boy! They are like a child’s eyes with giddiness. You’re not acting this, and we are so grateful coz for a few minutes every week will live through those eyes that see such beauty! Oh Zach has skills too😊

[@hans-sniekers-art]

You are always so positive and thoughtful with your narration, I think you should receive some kindness back for that

[@kaykelsch2027]

Love both of your sketches. It's great that you had company with you. He is an amazing artist also. It's amazing how fast you completed your wonderful painting. Thanks for filming it for us💕

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

I LOVE this series, all the art you both did, and this Video. 💖😀👍 awe, the turtles and other critters you encountered .... 🥰

[@linsaraillustration]

Thats relaxing Draw date. Boths drawing looks beautiful.

[@SarahNewburyArt]

Hi Jess! Such a wonderful sketchbook date with you, Zac and Mother Nature! Thank you once again for your positivity and inspiration. I especially loved the colours you saw and painted in your gouache piece and would love for you to do a video on how you see colour! Just amazing 🤩 x

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!! You got it

[@flyart8391]

Japanese Gardens have a flowing serenity about them🙏...i love this landscape😍 Nice drawings💪🙃

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much 😀

[@janetbronner6403]

Love these drawings!! I am so amazed at how very talented you are with the drawings. That includes your friend, too! You both match well! I am looking forward to your next sketchbook date!

[@yayab6378]

i love your fashion style sooo pretty!😍😍😍

[@ivi122]

Boy, you are the most talented artist I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching on youtube EVER! You’re so incredibly talented, and have a great personality! Your friend is very talented also. Btw, I love your channel except I wish you uploaded more frequently

[@chyanniea9462]

Thank you Jess for this beautiful video! 😊 I always like how you don’t limit yourself to a certain style or medium (oil, acrylic, watercolour), and just focus on creating!

[@suzannemarshall7458]

beautiful and inspiring We just got a Japanese Garden here so I shall go paint there soon too

[@irenetorokart9318]

Im such a fan! I recently started my own artist Vlog on here. In my own style of painting, I create and Vlog the process. Thank you for all the videos. 😁

[@m_m457]

I love this videos . It’s so full on Zenergy 🎉. Thank you so much for your generosity ❤

[@TinnekeVDE]

Yours is way better and more realistic to what the actual size and shape is of the little statue

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!!

[@lnwanderbooks2666]

As someone who's been living in Japan for a while and who just moved to a city with an amazing garden, this video feels special to me, even more since you're the one who inspired me to go back to art after 25 years. I actually bought a yearly pass last week so I can visit the garden whenever I want😆, especially when it's not crowded (they open at sunrise), and I can't wait to follow your advice once more ☺

[@milliejayseekings]

wonderful video again! I love the new choices of colour in the painting, Im waiting for more nicer and warmer weather in my country, which is the uk, so i can go outside to sketch or paint! xxx

[@artistinyou8181]

that was really amazing , loved it the sketch and the little painting ... the sketch of ur friend was really good i hoping for the 2 second one of his sketch .. still everything falls at its placed after watching ur videos of live painting and sketching i tried this and it was amazing drawing and painting live is so much fun... thank you so much for giving me this much courage and inspiring me... lots of love have a great week.

[@ashleytoltonart]

Another video well done! Jess! 🙌🏼🥂❤️

[@sketchbookscheming]

Just beautiful, Jess, and it was really fun to see you with your friend. You have me craving a sketchbook date! I've never tried that before.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much!

[@arcuda2001]

a really beautiful video , and i loved what you were saying at the end.. so much beauty surrounds us .. thanks , Jess.. Norakag, here ..

[@deniseramirez9706]

Such a pretty place 🥰. Great work 💕🤗

[@dianeo]

How beautiful! You both have such admirable skills... whew! I recently went to Naples Botanical Gardens (SW Florida) which had Frida Kahlo inspired gardens and sculptures. I don't have the confidence or skill level (yet) to 'art' in public but I took loads of pics which continue to inspire my art while at home 😊

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much. That sounds amazing :)!

[@kimwilderhinson3716]

I see you’ve discovered one of my favorite places. I love Morikami Garden. Another nearby place that makes an interesting nature walk is Wakodahatchee Wetlands. Hundreds of birds roost there, some of them in trees right beside the boardwalk.

[@Yashkirtivardhan]

Beautiful sketches and painting as usual....... You are an amazing story teller..... Should try your hand in direction too...... ❤ur sketchbook dates..... Truly inspirational. 😊

[@artofjesskarp]

[@TheEnigma2389]

Jess, you are definitely rocking 2023 with these amazing art dates! Perfect venue to be in sync with nature, both that's outside and that is your own, inside 😊 Your 30 min landscape painting was inspiring! But what made you think of painting the sky yellow when in the video it clearly looked gray-blue? Just curious 🧐😅 Anyway well done, both Zac and you...looking forward to more episodes of paint dates with you 😊 best wishes!❤

[@Suko-Kitsuu]

I loved this. I need an artist friend to go out and do stuff like this with. It seems so fun! ☺️

[@estherhyneman9127]

1. I love this series. I've actually made a playlist where I sketch from the videos on youtube of different places around the world on pause which is a good and fun exercise. 2. Jess I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to render the color opal? I know you made this beautiful girl for your birthday during Inktober a few years aga and I would really like to do something similar, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

[@andreatorraca8755]

Lovely Jess

[@marnierose5361]

Thank you I needed this video and reminder to make time for nature, I've been missing it sooo much...time to head there🙏 Both yours and Zac's art pieces are amazing, can I ask if you recommend art school for those of us starting art later in life? Thank you, love your videos from Australia 🙏
