I actually love that you went with that color palette, it gives a very dreamy atmosphere to the piece. It reminds of the pinkish tones everything haves during the sunrise, I really love it 💗💜💙

[@theimmersedreader]

I got goosebumps from the painting process + music combo.

[@mermainddaily]

Every word you say, every work you do, every video is important to me.

[@caitlyndailey]

The music for this video TRANSPORTED me - perfect with the painting sequences. 🤩👏

[@startpage717]

Yes. this pallet works as its the year of the "Water Rabitt"

[@christinepiercetang]

Sha'an, your decisions are important to ME! I honestly love hearing you think outloud and seeing all the prep work and decision-making that goes into your final pieces. I know it's a naive but it's honestly a really good reminder for me that other artist prep the same way I do and that I should lean into it and not put so much emphasis on 'intuitity' (is that a word?) Love this, love you! Looking forward to once you paint all the LNY animals and make it a calendar ;)

[@fuzzydragons]

fly away fuzzy bee! the colourful background works so well with the rabbit 😀

[@roisin8611]

'nightmarish' 😂 I have to respectfully disagree, it's adorable!!

[@IshikaShanai]

Something about watching you paint with gouache reminded me of why I became an artist in the first place: the love of the creation process. Somewhere a long the way through making art for uni assignments and professionally, I had lost that love, but watching these videos really remind me that it never went away, I just needed to go back to the basics and appreciate art for what it is - a process.

[@ChantelleArts]

That is the cutest little bunny! 🐰🥺

[@furrylittlepeach]

😍❤️🌈✨️

[@meandjd]

I've also been drawing New Year pieces over the last couple of years and getting to know more about my heritage. My family live in Malaysia! but we are Chinese and I was born in the UK. I love your work so much and it's inspired me so much over the years, and now I am in the process of looking for a job in illustration! I used your Squarespace link to set up my portfolio, fingers crossed it can help me get a job. The music, while you were painting, was so peaceful to listen to, I think I could fall asleep to it!

[@jennaiii]

This colour palette is perfect. So fitting for the piece. It has the feeling of floating through a dreamscape. The green and orange would have been really harsh for such a gentle creature in my opinion. This is visually arresting in a different way. Beautiful work!

[@ArtStuff__]

Cooooinfiniteooool

[@theimmersedreader]

I love a good nightmare bunny, honestly.

[@alexandratracey8252]

Incredible! ❤❤❤

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

How was that 14 min long? I was so absorbed watching the painting process time just stopped😮

[@lorenelizabeth851]

An appreciation comment for the time taken to add the cowboy hat 🤠 🤎

[@BethDooner]

I really like that colour palette, to me it gives its own identity from the previous years whilst still being part of it as a series. It also doesn't beholden you to the same palette every year. I am also amazed that you can find your lines again so easily after doing an ink wash over a piece, it's one of the reasons why I work in fine liner. This was such a nice video!

[@oswin7073]

Such a beautiful painting! And I swear you always choose the most beautiful/relaxing music for your vlogs 😍

[@faeryfossil3472]

This is beautiful, i’m year of the rabbit and i’ve always felt so proud and happy about that 🥰 the music mixed with the visuals was so pleasing 🤍 i think that with the cute shape of the border on the piece, it would make a great little trinket tray or a larger serving tray, just a little idea :-)

[@christiepeaslee6033]

Always a delight and an inspiration! Your following and comments simply prove that! Love love love the bunny! I like the color choices, but maybe it would be fun to do him again in the green color concept just to see, maybe they are brothers! Anyway, I always enjoy seeing the process from study sketches, to concept, to final project. It helps remind me that ideas do take some work and time, even for the most amazing pros. Just practice, breathe, take little breaks, but never stop trying. Thank you always. And Rocket too! He always is a gem to see or hear from as well. Hope you two have a lovely time in Singapore!

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

i'm pausing just before 4 minutes, 'cause i want to make sure i don't forget this thought! you're saying maybe nobody cares about all of these little decisions you're making in the rabbit design. ohhh, we care! it's so good for other artists, especially artists still in the beginning phases of their journey, to see the process behind the end results! which i'm sure you know, so i don't need to elaborate

[@geraldineconway1865]

I love this new tradition Sha’an. Your rabbit is fabulous. Happy new year to you and Rocket.

[@inkyfrog]

I absolutely loved the music, especially the song with the loon and bird sounds. So soothing!

[@aimeecreative]

I LOVE this painting and actually I like the purpley blue color scheme! It’s dreamy ❤️

[@BaileytheIllustrator]

These vlogs are my happy place

[@gellybeee]

the painting session sparked my desire to start painting again! so pretty! :

[@merrybeth627]

Love the colour choice 💜 and the painting.

[@dinovrsrobot]

It’s beautiful!!

[@furrylittlepeach]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sketchwithmich]

I just wanna say the part where you're painting is kind of different from your editing style (i feel like usually it's more energetic with lively upbeat music u know), but i like it!! It's also good to be reminded that there's no 'style' in any form of art, i guess 😊

[@a.moonsang]

Yes to boba tea... always!!

[@mar.mar.studio]

I just downloaded 'Art is Life' in audiobook form looking forward to listening to it even more now. Also, I loved the colour combo! Have fun in Singapore!

[@girlishgrrl]

Love love love your art!

[@bajaboolie]

I’m super stoked for your Singapore vlog. We are thinking about going there (or Taiwan-trying to decide) for a 2nd time & would love some good vibes about it!

[@furrylittlepeach]

It's been raining heaps so i don't have a lot of footage so far, i might put it at the beginning of my next studio vlog :-) we'll see!

[@anastasijac.r8732]

Watching your vlogs always makes me want to get up and paint something

[@lindapaperwords4661]

I loved this one, thank you :)

[@lin7374]

Ahh have fun in Singapore!! It's been a few years since I've been back and I miss it. My standard tourist recommendation is the singapore zoo, even though it's hot af out there I always love it and I'm not even a zoo person

[@eeyayy4696]

yes you can buy bubble tea

[@nicolemadethat5494]

Your vlogs always makes my day!

[@lightbulbnirvana]

I feel the rabbit needs some whiskers and then maybe the eyes would not look nightmarish. You could really make it nightmarish and make the eyes red, tho! Like the bunny in MP & the Holy Grail! LOL.

[@charlotteravenna1864]

So excited for another video to watch 🎉 I love them so much ❤

[@furrylittlepeach]

So glad you're here ❤️

[@lilianr513]

bras basah! and check out golden mile complex

[@AndreeaEremiaArt]

So cool art video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MKPureDiamondEventsEncinitas]

It’s funny how your choice of colors looks like a recent post of mine. Opps! Something went a muck.

[@hayapatel_]

Happy Lunar New Year! Your videos always drop at the right time istg they're lovely pick-me-ups. Lots of gloomy weather for the next few days B']

[@furrylittlepeach]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ gloomy here in sg too! Lots of rain and clouds 😭

[@nicnevin6385]

You should check out the Icecream Museum while you’re in Singapore. My bestie went while he was there and it was magical!

[@sustainlifejournalyoga]

Love it

[@WildRose22S]

7:05 how do you not let you watercolor smear with your graphite pencils?

[@genevievesahlie6816]

FYI y’all: Painting song is Rocky River by Jesse Brown and Kristoffer Wallin (not falling leaves 🙂) sooo pretty 😩😌

[@alexandrasieh1397]

When you’re *finally* going to sit down and get some work done, but you see a new FLP video and know that simply must come first. 😂 LOVE this painting! Happy year of the rabbit!!

[@furrylittlepeach]

😈😈😈

[@gentlygrace]

The little birdsong song was so cute!!! Ahhhhh!!

[@leannemarkle5258]

Love this video :) and watching your process. Have you ever shared how transfer your image to your paper? I work mostly digital but I’ve been loving exploring traditional media, but transferring my pencil to my paper to paint is a challenge, I saw you first used tracing paper , then transferred that to paper but then in your final line you used colored pencil. Just wondering what that next step was. :) as always thank you for inspiring me!

[@satrim_naays]

Who knows what drawing app she uses? ❤️

[@amandahilleary2581]

Where did you get your blue jumpsuit for painting from??

[@lizey.thornberry564]

So gorgeous 🐰 Hope you’re having an amazing time in Singapore! xxx

[@jimbosmith5863]

This is such a beautiful painting! I love watching you use gouache

[@wittlecloud]

[@noovernightguests]

Not nightmarish Sha’an! I love it! The whisker mustache is my favorite detail.

[@furrylittlepeach]

Aw you're too kind ❤️

[@furrylittlepeach]

Thank you for including your favourite detail! Makes me smile!

[@kiierah]
