Is there a reason you used Matt medium instead of a clear gesso to seal your sketch? Is it just using what you have or is there some other reason? ♥

Holy temple of creativity! 😳 It’s not just the gorgeous painting, but the typography, the message, the body language, and this INCREDIBLY KILLER cinematography are all above and beyond my wildest expectations. Does anyone else feel deeply grateful and astonished that we have a true master, not just matching but exceeding the old masters, here in our own time?

It's because of you I went out of my comfort zone and made a sketch book, it's because of you I came out of my artblock of 5 years, it's because of you I'm enjoying the little wooosh of happiness that art has to give and enjoy making my little mistakes here and there while learning my way around them. Tysm for existing Jess❤. You're truly one of the Greats❤

The energy that you transmit through your videos is contagious! You say you're not the greatest writer, but yet the words that you utter in your voice overs are always worth a ton of gold. They are always a fountain of inspiration. I love what you're doing here on your channel.

Oh Jess, this made me cry. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability, persistence, imagination, and joy throughout your process. This is beyond inspiring.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much. I’m so happy you connected to it. ♥️

[@dilaraaksakboga]

In my mind, this painting was of you just like the one on the first page of this sketchbook. In the first drawing you drew yourself a bit child-like. From how I see, you entered this sketchbook like a child but now that you are finishing it, it's like you are a grown-up with all the experience you got from this sketchbook. It's almost like 'Lucy' entering and coming out of the doors of Narnia 😍 at least this is how i felt. Thank you for all the inspirational videos, can't get enough of them! 💘

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!!

[@CarterSams]

God, Jess, that highlight on the cheekbone to the shadow on the under eye - ugh, it’s immaculate. You are such an inspiration.

Hi Jess! I'm a 14 years old and I have a really hard time convincing myself to show up to the page, because I know that what I'm going to paint is not going be want I want it to be. Whenever I watch your videos it always motivates me to try again! Love your videos, and thank you for encouraging me!

[@vupps]

Hi Jess, each time I look forward to a post from you, I am always at awe of the pieces you create! You are truly an 16th, 17th century artist just reborn in this 21st century again. Your talent for this art knows no bounds, I think! Keep posting the awesome work you do and delight us every time you do so! What an inspiring person you are! Besides your out of this world artwork, your powerful energy just percolates me, and sends tingles through my body with positivity! Artists in those earlier centuries were probably so serious and bound to their work, they perhaps did not have a way to express their emotions, I guess. Thanks to technology, you express your true feelings through your art on this platform and we get to enjoy it!

[@artofjesskarp]

This one made me cry, in a good way! I’ve felt creatively blocked and burnt out lately (amongst other things) and I have been avoiding creating because of these things. Thankyou for always sharing encouragement and droplets of hope in every video! I hope you have people that put back into you, the amount you give to others 💖 just wanted to say Thankyou so much for this video, it’s beautiful as always but this one helped me re-find my courage to “just start” 🥰 Thankyou 🥹

So random, but your reference to children's book typography re-awoke my sincere hope that your alphabet series is making its way to its own beautiful children's book. Your work is stunning. The details in the dress (especially the shadow to highlights) and landscape take my breath away.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Magical! ✨It's such a lovely end to your sketchbook, I can't wait to see the flip-through. When the oils dry enough for you to close the book, do the pages stick? Do you have to place a sheet of glassine or tracing paper between the pages?

[@artofjesskarp]

I wish I knew how to get started in painting....every stroke of yours seems so intentional and with purpose like you know exactly how many strokes it will take to make the painting. As a beginner, how can I practice making intentional strokes without having the talent (yet) to achieve intricate paintings.
