I feel so relaxed anytime Jess uploads, maybe because I know I'd learn something new. Love you jess

[@artofjesskarp]

Aw thank you so much. That is very nice :) have a great one :)

[@sriyaj0516]

it’s amazing that you can go straight in with watercolor, and still create such amazing paintings btw i love the folds on the clothes

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Going in straight with watercolor is scary at first but then so fun! :)

[@machinayrequiem8596]

The watercolor part is easy. That is the actual gesture. The rest is not gesture. It is adding detail and renduring to get a more finished study.

[@isaniart]

You’ve definitely inspired me to try this. I love how cohesive the whole page is

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!! Goodluck!

I spotted Rey there ! Always glad your updating ! And I ve been struggling for poses with proportions and dynamism so looking forward to this video ! Edit: was not disappointed. Thanks for this !

Can you please do another one of these video in a tutorial format. I felt that this video was underrated in terms of how you used paint brush and painting strokes so well. And you really nailed using the brushes as of you were using charcoal! Great video! It's on repeat for me.

[@KallerhultCreations]

I will most definitively try gesture drawing using watercolours next time! Such a good point that you can focus more on shapes than lines. I have been using brush pens to get bolder strokes instead of wispy lines but full on watercolours will probably be a game changer!! Thanks!!

Can you please do another in depth video of gesture painting with gouache. This was such a great video! Run it back please.

[@journalwithne5376]

Thank you so much for this video! I took your advice and tried ”sketching” figures with watercolour instead of a pencil, and wow, you weren’t kidding! It improved the result so much. The proportions turned out more realistic, and as you said, it was easier to correct mistakes along the way because the colour was more ”malleable” than pencil lines.

[@artofjesskarp]

Amazing!! So glad it helped you!!!

[@carlos_cub]

this is great, I definitely need to do some timed exercises! I know you went to FIT, I did as well. curious if you ever had professor Suikang Zhao, I had him for life drawing and he made us do literally 1 min poses all the time for the entire first half of the semester! but then when we eventually got more time I left with some of the best drawings I've done.

[@Bumblebee2278]

Do you have any advice for if you feel unmotivated to draw. I watch a art video and I get really inspired and I’m like “tomorrow I’m gonna draw!” But the next day I get lazy and bored and I end up watching tv. And when I force myself to draw I get bored and I’m not proud of it at the end. I’m only 13 and many artist say it’s common at my age. But ever since I got rejected from talented art in 3rd grade I havent found art fun anymore. Being rejected just says, “sorry your creativity is amazing but we are looking for something more boring with black and white pencil, even though your a child we want you to be perfect.” I found so much fun in art before I got rejected now I just feel uninspired and it has been YEARS. I’m at college level art now and extremely talented for my age, but I just want my creativity and fun from before I got rejected.
