i went to Miami to paint...

[@BlackBeanCMS]

YALL! What did you think of this kind of video? Also did you see the preview of part 2 at the end??? 😂

[@lesliesalas6389]

Man. You are hilarious. Not only are you super inspiring to us younger artist, but your editing skills (cuts, jumps) is great! The video feels very casual, like your having a conversation and some fun with a friend (which I hope we are 😊). Great video as always!

[@georgiaosborne9300]

Slayy king you’re so funny and the casual videos are so entertaining!

[@jaqstitch]

Loved it!

[@empathy8154]

posing with SpongeBob 🤪🤙🏻

[@beckyhrnandez]

Saw preview I liked this video Just keep doing what you do! 👍😊

[@andylyn4123]

I really appreciate you leaving in all the "false starts" from the Billie painting, a lot of artists only include the parts of their process that are successful and its nice being reminded that I'm not the only one who messes up

[@kat.ex3909]

It’s also really nice to know that artists who we look up for painting so many besitful paintings don’t always paint it all at once, I get bored while I paint and do something else or I scrap it

[@Noorboomboomshakalakaboom]

I know right? It feels reassuring like I am not a failure, I can continue.

[@jojojo8835]

Absolutely! Everyone has off-days, but a pro like yourself knows how to fix it.

[@joonietoones6322]

I chose to use oil pastel for an upcoming art project of mine, and I had to do research on some artists. I chose you and your channel, and I showed it to my teacher. She loves your artwork, as do I, so we fangirled over it ^^

[@codiuart]

Hi BlackBean, your first vlog is quite fun, funny, I love art vlogs like this. Your artistic portrait painting is very beautiful, showing your ingenuity, your painting technique is excellent.

[@BreadedNuggetss]

Okay yes. Yes to the hair. Yes to the outfit. Man I love you and literally everything you do! Your oil pastel work really helps me to study how to loosen up with my art. You're literally fabulous, love from the uk!

[@Void.Critt3r]

I have to also say, as I see others have said, I love that you put the human in your videos. This is so real. I'm with you. Seeing your creative process including self care and frustrations makes me feel better about my creative process. The behind the scenes is the hardest part to learn, I swear! Love your videos and I love watching you be authentically you. I even love that you love a blue background. All artists and creatives have their preferences and I love that you know yours. I love the palette tutorial, thirft stores are fabulous for art! I suck at predicting use of supplies so if it's a mix, I don't want to mess up the mix if I have to do it again so I make lots. 😂 🤣 So I get it!! Like I see so much of myself in you and that's honestly what I've been missing most of my life. The representation, just seeing someone who's like me. I mean you get that. Know that you make a huge difference. And let me pay you on patron again! 😂 I want to pay you. Your videos are worth it and if you make more money, you can make more art because when needs are more easily met, creativity flows! I know that from experience. I wish you'd let us support you on patreon again. :P Yes I ramble! I'm living for the bloopers at the end. Amazing! Seriously even if all you did was post every 3 months I still want to give you some money. I just get so much out of your videos. Your videos make me love myself. Legit. It's like drag race and dragula, they fill my soul because I see representation of those like me. You just being you, you're worth investing in, you make the world a better place. It's a worthy investment. You are worth it. I'm just saying. :P Sending all the love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@CuquiLopezCasas]

So glad you mentioned the color of the surface where you mix paints. Makes total sense to mix the colors in a grey background.

[@icameisaws4829]

Went to a goodwill years ago in Miami and was amazed at how they organized it to look like a department store. During that time, things were sectioned by brand (certain brands were in a section alone). I had nothing to compare it to because it was the first I went to. Later found out that that wasn't the norm

[@JWhitneyArt]

Billie is royalty and yes you did her justice. I wouldn’t lie to you about it. She is my favorite artist of all time and her story is an absolute tragedy. Thank you for paying homage to a queen!

[@DaniNello-rl5nc]

Love your humor, love your outfits, love your work :" ) Your videos make my day. Thank you for sharing with us

[@frogboy420]

your rompers are giving me life!

[@reeree6682]

She's (Billy) FREAKING BEAUTIFUL, CHILD OF GOD! The hair looks fab! Alyssa turned out wonderfully, too!

[@nicholmad15]

needed this during my art blocked week

[@ENUFbyMNT]

It was actually pretty empowering to see how many times you retried and never gave up. Your work is beautiful as always and your personality brings my day so much joy. Thank you thank you for sharing this!

[@pettynayy]

Both paintings are so beautiful! I could never in my life do something like this. I’ve been watching you for a while and i love all your videos❤️

[@Inlieuofsue]

Omg love all this. Every thing. Yes. Thank you thank you thank you for showing the true process.

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Lovin it! Love both pieces, and that you got out of the winter and into some miaminess makes me so happy. 💖

[@Itzelr1116]

Dude this is amazing! You are an inspiration! Please don't sell yourself short, you're an incredible artist and person!

[@dagothwave6623]

I wish there were more down to earth and funny art KZbinrs like you lol

[@sarlenic]

What I love so much about that vlog is that I literally feel like a friend of yours just spending some time with you while you're painting since you're just so authentic and true Always been in love with drawing but never found much joy in painting but you definitively got me interested in trying it. I hope mine will one turn out as beautiful as yours. Keep it up. 💕

[@kaylarosebates9966]

Didn't even get notified. But I felt the blackbean energy today. What a great video!! Always love to see you...be you! Love you!

[@mm-ul5cz]

I didn’t get notified either :/

[@wombatcube]

Every second of this video was golden! I loved it all. Especially when you called me out for my breath. I loved watching your process. The struggles are encouraging to me, currently struggling through my own struggles with the canvas. I can't wait for the next video! Glad you had fun in FL!

[@tarachristal5019]

i really enjoy watching tidbits of your day to day and your process of creating the pieces you share with us. i like that you don’t give up if you’re having a hard time, you just take a break and go back to it. i hope you make more videos like this! you are hilarious, entertaining, wholesome, soooo talented and i’m glad to follow and support an artist like you ❣️

Perfect timing😭 spent 4 hours painting a portrait today and decided to start over tonight cause it was not it. This was quite motivating!!

[@byunniq9060]

Love your videos as usual! Amazing workk❤👯🏿‍♀️

[@CarolBrobst]

Just found another one of your videos and have to say, there's always a moment where I gasp at the beauty of the final result. Even halfway, I'm saying to myself, "WOW, that is incredible !" then you finish it and I just have a jawdrop moment. YOU ARE SO SKILLED ! (I would say Talented, but I know how much work goes into developing a great skill. I'm a musician and fiber artist and it takes WORK !). Keep making great art and great content ! From a new fan 😀

[@Nanerem]

I love these portraits so much. They’re so smooth and beautiful. They make me want to start painting again!

[@WillowRoseArlen]

Great job sticking with it and not giving up when the Billie painting wasn't going how you wanted. I think both of these turned out pretty great, and I like the idea of using a grey tone pallet too!

[@buckbryant7635]

The preview had me crying.

I love your art. And thank you for being you. You're so funny and down to earth.

[@stagewaste]

I'm new here but I feel you SO SO much watching you get frustrated. Today I just kept erasing my sketches eventually I gave up but you remind me I shouldn't give up. It's also important to remember it's okay to take a break sometimes!!!

[@JadeLeaf1980]

I think you captured Billie’s essence. I see her in the eyebrow and the expression (watch the videos of her performances, you can see that same expression). What’s your fave Billie song? Mine definitely has to be “Don’t Explain”.

[@PeaksFreak90]

Love this video format - a lot of fun and the art creation process is very interesting. Personally, I thought both paintings were beautiful. I just love your style.

I love this vlog type, and I'm so excited to see the next part! It's very casual and chill, and I love it when artists bring us through a painting slowly (and seeing some of the other things you are doing while working on it, haha)! And I just want to say, you are way too hard on yourself with the Billie Holiday painting (which I totally get as an artist, haha). Both portraits are beautiful, and I think that the way you render skin tones are so bright and illuminating, and I want to try and figure out how you do it so I can bring that into my own work. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts so honestly because it helps me out a lot. Thank you, and I love your videos so much!
