I LOVE Urban Sketching for THIS Reason [Sketchbook Date]

[@artofjesskarp]

Hope you enjoyed this video and all the little surprises we were hit with! Wishing you a warm and lovely day!

[@JohnnyB-art]

Ohh Jess this is so you 😊!! Wonderful video so inspiring… and lovely sketches too .. I do love the way you draw and apply such a subtlety and character to your work.. thank you 😊 ❤

[@anthonyw2931]

generously promoted three establishments (check), added numerous smiles (check), and then added another masterpiece (check). I'll call this comet "Hermosa Mariposa"

[@falgunimehta4964]

I love all your videos it is too inspiring 😊💕 thanks 🙏🏻

[@SonjaArielvonStaden]

It's always exciting to look over your shoulders. You're reminding me to do new things and to spread my artwork-way. Thanks a lot! 😊☀💛

[@sarajamal799]

Tank you for taking us with you again! the man who asked to see the sketch at the end warmed my heart ..

[@ChantelleArts]

I'm glad you're making more of these outdoor sketching videos, they're really interesting to watch

[@artofjesskarp]

So glad you like them! Thanks :)

[@MariaRevArt]

What an incredible experience. Not only were both pieces absolutely incredible, but the positive way in which people responded and the way that you learned so much about the history of the building you were drawing/painting was truly like a fairytale or something.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much

[@elliewithg]

This made me tear up a bit. It's amazing what art can do you know... Art connects us all, though we may not think much about it. Most certainly, it connects the artist to audience.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you

[@mariam2964]

That quote-poem at the end was just so emotional after watching the video. Thank you for the experience.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you for watching. So glad you enjoyed

[@TheArtistEducator77]

Jess this is so inspirational. You have inspired me to get out of the studio and sketch/paint.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much. And thank you for sharing my videos with you students.

[@MariaRevArt]

She's inspired me to. I want to make a sketching date with other art friends.

[@NamsMArt-tl3hh]

Most positive person I've ever seen on KZbin. You and Sarah burns are so positive. I not just enjoy watching your videos but also enjoy hearing both of your soothing voices. Most honest people you guys are.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much 💖

[@jrsinsf]

Another great adventure! So happy for you. I used to go on painting workshops in the South of France with a group of San Francisco artists. In a small village, I was painting a fountain in the tiny town square when a young boy sat down next to me. He had a shoe box with a sick bird he found. He prattled on and on about the bird, and at that time, my French was limited so I did my best to nod and respond at what I hoped were appropriate moments, "eh oui, c'est vrai" etc. After twenty minutes, he finished his tale and said "Au revoir monsieur" and continued on his way. He was completely uninterested in who I was and what I was painting, which was great because I felt wonderful that this 6-year-old boy shared a part of his day with me. As you said, small miracles....

[@artofjesskarp]

Wow beautiful story! Thank you for sharing with us :)

[@m.argotto]

seeing/ hearing you interact with those people is so heartwarming. Like aahhh, people are so sweet and Jess has the sweetest soul! So in love with your art and her as a person

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!!!

[@conservedbymeds]

I sincerely enjoy watching your urban sketching videos, as someone who has been too afraid due to horrible experiences to go outside for around 10-ish years now, this sparks my curiousity to exploring. I want to wander around in the woods and just look at every little detail of everything, feel the bark of the trees and watch how the snow is laying like a blanket on the pine trees and listen to all the different sounds there is. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[@Kiptoe]

Love it, the ink sketch was amazing to see if come to life and hear your process and how you chose the site with your energetic enthusiasm and the watercolor was so beautiful, love how you started with big strokes :) got goosebumps towards the end!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you :)

[@theartofcharleen]

People’s reactions and investment into your process is just so sweet! Beautiful art as always, Jess! 💕

Thanks! Haha yeah I always forget

[@camilonoexiste]

This series gives me incredible amounts of drawing motivation 🗡️

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!

[@shawnrobertson9618]

This was lovely. Reminded me how capturing a moment with drawing/painting in a way is both a record of history and creating a memory. And all the people in the video who asked you questions and shared information and watched are part of that documentation. It is the shared social act of capturing a memory, sharing agency about what is important, loving beauty, and choosing history. I’m having a hard time expressing it, but it’s really pretty deep and kind of at the root of what it is to be human. Thanks for sharing!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much! 🥹🥹🥹

[@Azul.val333]

Like all these episodes, what a gorgeus video! Your art, what can I say, is always absolutely incredible! And the way you just consider everything before finding a spot for drawing, like trying no to interrupt anyone in their ways or the way you talk to anyone who pass by and gives you a compliment is always so humble! Love this videos :)!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much

[@yourturn5059]

Yeah! Another urban art date!😁 Love these days/dates/videos!😊🙌

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks !

[@muskndusk]

The satisfaction you have in your art is so inspiring. You seem to enjoy it when people come up and talk to you, which would scare many artists. Please keep making these outdoor videos, they're so special.

[@moapikastay]

I literally can never dish out the right words to express how much your videos inspire me . Every inch of it is so filled with goodness its magical! Thank You so much for all the videos and the positiveness it has brought to my life!Im already looking forward to the next video👀

[@thatperson7902]

I love this kind of out-of-studio type of video please keep posting it

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!

[@kellyro77]

I have the most fun when I'm out sketching in public because you meet new people and learn new things along the way. I don't do it often because it's scary, and sometimes I feel like I'm seeking attention when I'm doing it. I have to swipe all those self-doubts away, though, and just follow my instincts and draw anyway. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@artofjesskarp]

You summed it up beautifully!!

[@katiehawkins4939]

Some of my very favorite sketching experiences came from sketching in airports. I've made so many friends from just having people come over and talk to me because I was drawing. I sometimes feel awkward drawing in public, but I've come to love it so much BECAUSE of having other people interact with me!

[@artofjesskarp]

Yes!!! That’s amazing 😻😻😻 thanks so much for watching

[@elyb.4362]

Just wanted to let you know, I watch and rewatch this video all the time. It’s Extremely genuine yet focused on the goal and craft…amazing!

Amazing sketches, Jess! And the tunes you added to the video gave me the feels of the date. Thank you for bringing us with you on this beautiful date!💜

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks for watching!

[@OkieSketcher1949]

(aka OkieSketcher1949) You have just demonstrated why I love to do urban sketches in public. At first I did not want people to see me sketch. I was a bit intimidated and worried the criticism would be too much. How wrong I was. The viewing public has been so supportive! Your ink sketches are really something to admire. Your watercolors are as well. This combined with your ability to positively react to those around you is a real gift. You apparently have created a following of admirers, many of whom will go on to enhance their own skills. That in and of itself is a blessing. Because of what I have seen today I have subscribed to your channel. I want to see more. Thank you for this. I look forward to the next one as I go back to find your previous work.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much Robert

[@francineh.7825]

How amazing that your art brought so many people to enquire and want to see. Beautiful moments!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much

[@WrenWinton]

I think I'm going to begin urban sketching. Most of the time, I just sketch in my home or in coffee shops, but this is beautiful. You experience so so so much more LIFE when you're sketching from it out of doors. Thank for the wonderful content, Jess!!!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you! Yes!!!

[@marinayege1476]

Jess, your positivity inspires me to draw and paint more, whenever I feel I have no inspiration or I'm blocked I come to your videos to get that spark of inspiration. Thank you for your videos they are amazing.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Blick_Art]

Your videos always make us want to get busy drawing and painting! Urban sketching is a challenge, but you can always count on some genuine praise and encouragement! We've mentioned in previous comments your choice of fountain pens for sketching- so glad to see what you can do with an italic nib! Another thing we love about fountain pens for sketching is the confidence you feel when people see you using these glamourous, classic instruments.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

My heavens, talk about the stars all being in perfect alignment! For the most positive artist to paint two perfect renditions from a perfect perspective under a perfect light followed from beginning to end by a perfectly positive appreciative audience.

This was awesome. I'm the daughter of a professional artist. His subject matter was landscapes. Only now, in my mid 60s, am I beginning to work with watercolors. I admire you for getting out there and enjoying the visitors. Dad didn't mind them either. But I would struggle with self-consciousness primarily because I'm not good. I don't practice enough (I default you reading!). I just love today's sketch, although "sketch" is too modest a word. You are gifted, Jess!
