I’d love to see a dive into the colours in your palette they seem to have been so carefully curated to create such gorgeous pieces I really like your style ❤❤

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

3 months late but this is the kind of Art I'd like to produce! Thank You for reminding me that it's okay to draw and paint what you feel!

[@boxesofsheep]

Aww it's never late! Thanks so much Laura! ❤

[@kitkazer]

Really appreciate you making these videos and gorgeous art ✨ And thank you for not speeding up your process so much that I can't understand how you're controlling the paint and building layers.

[@boxesofsheep]

Thank *you* for watching! 💕 And I'm glad to hear that re: the speed. It's tricky finding the middle ground between a super fast results-focused style and a full hour-long breakdown.

[@aleidadiaz2261]

Wow

[@ceruleanblue7]

Awesome!

[@lemony_leony]

Love how this turned out! The placement of shadows to create those stunning ruffles, the layering of paint on the mushrooms to get those vibrant colors.. Very inspiring!

[@galetimpone1712]

very talented artist, you make doing watercolor painting look easy...Its Not. Thank you for this video it is so life like, i expect King Toad to hop off the paper at any moment.

[@boxesofsheep]

Thank you so much! And yes, it is always SO hard. I don't think it'll ever not be, but I suppose that's what we sign up for. :)

[@jacquelynlecuyer210]

Your unique style never disappoints.

[@bookworm2398]

I love your sense of fantasy. You mentioned a reference photo at one point; you make me believe there actually is a regal frog out there. If only. Beautiful work!

[@boxesofsheep]

Thank you! And who knows, there might be! 😁 The world is plenty big and weird.

[@sharonsunshine2532]

Thanks

[@gitte5281]

[@boxesofsheep]

Thank you, Gale! Much love ❤

[@Vovvilina]

Riveting (and ribbiting 🐸) tutorial!

[@tonybabb3525]

I love your sense of color & value!

[@vickivm5165]

[@boxesofsheep]

I don't deserve you Tommy. 😆 Much love!!

[@wynngwynn]

he's so cute

[@kymberleematsumoto8153]

Ab fab! Is there a reference photo? CHEERS

[@boxesofsheep]

Yes there is!! With the shrooms and ruffles and crown, I basically stitched about a dozen photos together. But the frog/toad (still not 100% sure which) is simply this: pin.it/4Ur2g58

[@tiffertoes86]

Ribbeting 🤣🤣🤣

[@boxesofsheep]

I couldn't help it 😆
