Thank you. You help me see my art goals reachable and that’s very nourishing. Your art experience seems way above my grade since I’m just starting to produce professionally, yet how you share and explain things makes it so relatable you help me imagine myself doing what you teach. Godspeed and I hope you keep up the videos.

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot Ziana, your words mean a lot! I wish you all the best with your art business and glad to be a help in some way or another ☺

[@santalknit3309]

I have to tell you I have sooo much fun watching you! 😂😂😂😂 love your faces, and your mood! You are great!!! ❤❤❤

[@lynerams]

But your sense of humour....😭😭✨✨✨. Thank you so much for the tips! You're awesome 😎

[@samanthacboyer]

Found your channel today, mid-breakdown while trying to work through the kinks of opening my print studio. You're an angel. I love you. Thank you for your videos. I consider you one of my new best friends.

[@morgancardon2609]

Can't afford Art to Print at this point and this is surely the next best thing! So generous to share your information

[@mauricioescalanteart8185]

Thank you! For these valuable tips, you used as an example a painting with a dark background, the most difficult because they reflect more light! by the way, you have a piece of paradise in that garden. You have great charisma and it is a great added value to your videos.

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! I really appreciate that 🤗

[@anjadommel_kunstatelier]

You seem to put so much effort in your videos. I like that you share these videos pretty rarely but with top quality ❤

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot Anja! I do put a lot of love into them, so I appreciate that

[@kriskelly6548]

Beautiful print.... beautiful garden. Glad you chose this original to make a print... ❤

Beautiful Garden and abstract painting very beautiful colors!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! ☺

[@memymomoo]

Thank you! this was helpful. I would appreciate more videos like this. And maybe a budgeting for artists video? As a small artist I'm finding the book keeping and the knowing how much things should cost difficult. A pricing video would also be helpful

[@JudithSchoo]

I think you´re the greatest funniest artist ever! Thank you so much for sharing. You´re a light.

[@b.cormier]

I really appreciate that Judith, thanks for watching! 😘

[@AR-mu4zq]

[@eonratslear981]

I love the game you play in your videos. Keeps me coming back for more. And those dimples. And your insanely excellent art. Mostly the art. Liked and subscribed. 🤩

[@clarissemulvany9921]

Very very useful, you one of a kind! God bless you!

[@heliamofakhami1457]

I'm in love with your youtube videos They're so useful and funny at the same time. You made my day😊🤍

[@b.cormier]

Thanks for watching Helia! 😊

[@PartyMcFly89]

Oh my goodness, I just have to say this is the first video I've seen of yours and I've fallen in love with your personality! But in all seriousness great content, very informative and just what I was looking for. You have earned another subscriber and customer. 😊❤

[@thekarlicollective]

Such a useful and actually helpful video thank youuuu❤

[@Tililiish]

Hi there! Your videos are helpful and very fun to watch! Thanks from Switzerland ;)

[@ediesedgwick4462]

What a nice place you have! 🤗 Congratulations on your career success! 🍾🥂

[@pieterpieters9118]

Wow! Nice professional presentation skills and good content! Some crazy important skills explained in a very good understandable way - kudo's!!!

[@StevenKephart]

Loved the video as always. I was hoping to see your photoshop/lightroom process as well. It's good to hear customers don't get upset if you "improve" the artwork for the print. I use a scanner stitched together and end up with a 4 gig tiff file for each one.

[@b.cormier]

Thanks Steve! I'll remember that for next time :)

[@SabelosubzMthembu-c2r]

Awesome 😎

[@freelanceartist480]

Cool 😍

[@CaffeineandConcepts]

the 10 second timer was not something I ever considered! great tips

[@TheJoan48]

Thank you very much. I learned alot and really appreciate the info. I've got alot of paintings and need some extra cash so I need to get on the stick. You helped alot.

[@marvellousabiodun5543]

Beautiful 😍. Thank you

[@amyadams6134]

Thanks for sharing your process, knowledge & experiences, especially the companies you like using for drop shipping. (Fully enjoy your entertaining persona as well. 😉)

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it🤗 Glad you liked the video!

[@bainbridgemediastudios]

I randomly found this video in my recommended. I do photography and videography, but I’m not much of a painter, still this video was very interesting!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! 🤗

[@jaquelineromero723]

you’re hilarious 😂💙💙💙 thank you for this amazing vid and the quality garden time

[@beefbeefarts4616]

Looking forward to the time I'll get to purchase each and every one of your work.

[@b.cormier]

I'm looking forward to it too!! 😜

[@maanihunt]

You're such a good entertainer btw. I know you said you had a bit of hesitancy moving over to KZbin from Instagram to promote your art but you're really entertaining and funny. I also loved the print and the explanation, it was super clear and detailed

[@elizabethalcala2516]

Hells yeah I learned all the things!

[@bernardogonzalez4806]

Awesome video and love the personality.

[@chronicportal6354]

I love you - thanks for this!!!

[@beatrizparejo6398]

Hi, you are a great artist and your videos are super cute and fun. Thanks for sharing how you take your photos. I would love to see how you light your studio to record. The result you get is very professional and beautiful. Thank you so much! 😊❤

[@andrewlm5677]

This is helpful. Thank you! Very nice painting as well

[@b.cormier]

Happy to hear it! Thank you! :)

[@artfulguy1]

Great job!

Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful! :)

[@dawnmcnaughton1550]

Thankyou from New Zealand!

[@tolgaoztemur]

It is informative. Even if it would not be so, it is fun to watch.

[@Artwithaks]

Love your art space .. would love to get tour of your art space ❤

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! It would probably be a 30 second video because it's so small hahaha, but I'd be happy to share it in a future video! :)

[@madhusmita9868]

That Garden!!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@Spambrah]

This was really useful! Thank you for sharing, and sharing what services you personally use and why. Hearing someone's personal opinion is nice.

[@b.cormier]

I'm glad you found it helpful, thank you for watching! :)

[@carolhubley4765]

Great video and good personality.

[@Paul-su3qh]

Hi Brooke, I really loved your quirky but fun loving approsch to the subject of how to sell ones artwork. It is very informstive and cleverly explained. Could you possibly do another video that deals solely with how to photograph ones srtwork using a camrra and showing details of how to set up the camera etc. I have subscribed to your channel ❤😅

[@kevinscottburrill-wildlife-art]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@hajoor_paints]

🔥🔥💜

[@givezaid]

This is awesome! Got a lot to take away from it :)

[@MW-hn7wx]

Thanks for the great video!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@peckerdecker]

Like The orange Crocs (slipper's) . Very retro. Almost 2006 style. Keep sharing. Merry Christmas:)

[@ChristianFOcampo]

Thanks for this video! Super helpful and motivating! And I love the simple transparency! 2024 is the year for me!

[@davidrichard8387]

i loved this videooo

[@SnehaJadhavArt]

This was helpful❤️thank you!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks for watching! ☺

[@MasterTattooing]

Thank you! 🙏

[@kymcrowart7876]

Excellent advice

[@SamiaPaintingClub]

Thanks so much 👍 this video is very helpful, just I have a question about the best camera for artists: Which Camera to choose for filming long KZbin video tutorials without heating problems?

[@chantalrochon3566]

Helpful 😊thank you!

[@maureencormier5036]

Very informative! Beautiful garden! And nasty squirrel!! 😘

[@b.cormier]

Thank you!! 😘

[@taylorcase6661]

Youre adorable 🤣 educational and entertaining video

[@drebugsita]

This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your process. I have thought about making prints of my work a thousand times but it feels overhwelming - so much technical and logistical know-how required, at least for me as a very analogue person. One question, what is the white surface that you used as a backdrop for your work? I've seen them but I didn't know to use it for photographing work. Any tips on that? DIY or buy? Thank you!

[@taywis]

Long time admirer-this was informative, hilarious and top notch!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@Louie._arts]

This was helpful 🎉

[@jamminjamy]

Nice video and great personality! Do you share your photoshop techniques/color correction in any of your videos?

[@ArtRinah]

Omg i love you! You’re so funny and talented 😂😂😂

[@b.cormier]

Haha I'm glad you think so 😬 thanks for watching!!

[@eliora9108]

Ty. I've been wondering how to go about these things,having never gone to art school. I've heard from others,they don't actually teach students the biz side of thinfs anyhow,which is sad. We need more people like yoyrself,willing to help others get started.

[@zoeausten5717]

Love your videos and your beautiful paintings!! 😍 Do you take the photos before varnishing?

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much Zoe! 😊 I usually take photos after varnishing, unless the varnish is super glossy (in that case it’s sometimes hard to get rid of the glares from the shine)

[@lornatw]

Hi, do you ever print any art that has gold or silver metallic on it and if so how do you make sure this shine shows on the actual print?

[@lisawooldridge5050]

You are hilarious, very informative thank you!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot Lisa! :)

[@garretreed9709]

2:36 the background, teal wall, helps you pop but curious what camera you’re using. Image looks extremely crisp and skin tones look very natural. I’m impressed. Made me subscribe.

[@MyShutterBloom]

Hello there! Thank you SO much for all these tips and tricks. What is your opinion on having a giclee print service scan your artwork for you - especially if your work is very large?

[@corrinebennett2693]

Great video! What kind of computer do you use? I think this would make for a great video idea as Im currently shopping for a new computer thats user friendly for photo/video editing!

[@yusrialsaoudi3309]

Beautiful .... Both of you

[@bearwei571]

謝謝妳 ! 收穫良多~

[@user-yj8xc4zq8w]

Really great Video. A lot of good tips. Do you have any more information about the Editing of the Pictures? I am in the process of digitalizing a lot of my artwork and this step is not fully clear to me.

[@SoLSaintGermz]

I thought your sense of humor was refreshing and quite hilarious 😂

[@manasses_art_studio]

Hey remember that funny reel you posted about you procrastinating painting when you have the time? Well, I procrastinate painting watching your videos because they’re so much fun.. so THANK YOU! 😂

[@b.cormier]

Haha it's a healthy form of procrastination ;) thanks for watching!

[@WuWa.Shanghai]

Enjoyed your film, thanks for the film! Superb!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@scottschaible1685]

what camera/ lens are you using to film these KZbin videos? Appreciate your print advice, definitely learned a few new tricks!

[@b.cormier]

I am using a Sony A7C with a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 lens! Glad you learned something, thanks for watching!

[@MW-hn7wx]

For shooting videos of your painting process in the studio or your photos inside, do you rely on natural light or do you have extra lights? if so, which kind?

[@b.cormier]

I usually use natural light, but if it's dark outside I'll use my aputure light dome mini ii with the aputure LS C120d II light for shooting videos!

[@carolinacampo9021]

You've resolve all my doubts!!! Thanks a bunch. I'm curious, what was the camera you used to record then?

[@b.cormier]

GOOD! I'm using a Sony A7C with a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 lens :)
