I love you so much!!!

[@Vexx]

Extremely interesting! Great video bro :)

[@kelogsloops]

thanks pal! 💕

[@Not_sher]

You should try this

[@jaredjabasa1060]

Fuudggge! These two great artists need collab. 😍

[@janethosoria3420]

OMG ITS VEXX

[@kelogsloops]

EPISODE TWO!! The show has opened already, but I still want to share with you guys the behind-the-scenes of it all. It was a huge chapter in my life, being both a highlight and also one of the most intense periods. It's taken a while to edit all the footage since coming back home from the US, but I finally figured a direction for these studio/vlog style videos and I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm already working on episode 3, which will come out next week :)

[@richieray6619]

You are almost running out of your most used colors in your cotman paint. Are you going to replace them with artist grade?

[@cristinadigiuseppe1501]

kelogsloops I love your art

[@kelogsloops]

​@@richieray6619 most of the colours have already been replaced with artist grades! I think there are just a few pans left that are still the original cotman's

[@komorebi3803]

@@kelogsloops Maybe you already know it but you can use the heat of a hairdryer to break the adhisive of tape. Then you don't have to be afraid to rip the paper, it will peel of very simple and clean. :)

[@lorrainegatzke1048]

Exquisite work 💖

[@archietheredcat]

Your art and the detail of your painting are breathtaking.. I also love the way you put your shading in your watercolor piece, I get with what you said about water color aesthetic and how if you want to have so many control why not just use alcrylic or copic.. but I think water color controled shade have different vibe with other media, and have their own charm.. in my personal preference loose watercolor thecnique are kinda mainstream lol so its okay if you have your own style in doing watercolor and not using watercolor aesthetic.. your painting are still amazing either way, thank you for sharing the video

[@joaquimramis4124]

Completly agree with this comment. The fact that you use watercolor this way makes your art unique! You get textures and vibes that i havent seen before. If i had to give it an explanation, i would say that its the flowness or softness of watercolour mixed with your controlled style that makes your works a calm and safe place to look at.

[@thaibaha3083]

he had a solo exhibition

[@josueuwu3409]

Yes he had a solo exhibition

[@schaderway9887]

I just wanna say that your art and techniques are just astounding! You are such a big inspiration and I love watching your videos! The way of using the colors and the love to detail is just incredible. You are one of my biggest inspirations in art and you make me want to keep improving and keep going! So thank you for making such great pieces and sharing it with the world to see! ^^ keep going! EDIT: thanks for the heart and so many likes! I’m really happy that my comment reached you all •w•

[@chimchim4856]

Talented and Adorable Why can't I find guys like that in my life?

[@vanshikaatrevadia2093]

There are one and only

[@KimberlyCrick]

At 4:21 I was at the edge of my seat there saying "yeah! please please please! don't rip the paper, be smooth...." /holds breath...and phew, yay! Well done, beautiful. At 8:06 I just had faith it would be ok. I know it's easier to blend with oil, but this is just gorgeous work with the skin shading and I appreciate seeing it done with watercolor. Entertaining vlog, wishing you the best with your show.

[@aidand.7911]

Could you please do a video on your drawing process alone? I'm sure a lot of us would like to see how you get your lines to be so clean

[@Sjaan97]

Yes please

[@-blotches-3365]

Dem peels doe

[@kelogsloops]

isn't no kelogsloops video without no peelporn!

[@jvstinxavier]

I'm so glad I got to see them in person! Absolutely breathtaking, and so inspiring ✨

[@kelogsloops]

thanks for coming out to the show justin, was so great to meet you!!

[@MerakiPainter]

When you did the white sea foam I forgot how to breathe. You literally took my breath away! Wow 💙👏🏻👏🏻

[@jengoodwyn2715]

IT'S ALIVE! Lol. And on KZbin! Gorgeous work. You really inspire me to work on my watercolour art. Thank you! Are you, in fact, having a solo exhibition?? Why didn't you say?! 😉

[@kelogsloops]

how coincidental that you ask!!!! why yes, yes I did :)

[@yogi_k01]

Every time you post a video, my jaw just drops for the entirety of it. This is nothing different, everything is just so beautiful....one day, I hope I'll be able to paint as beautifully as you do. Keep on improving!!

[@phoenixtapia6603]

3 years later and you are still my biggest inspiration for watercolor painting. I started painting a few years ago because I would watch your videos and wish I could do the same thing, and now I've been working up to it and I'm so glad to see us both growing as artists! #brbchasingdreams

[@cheergiver]

I totally understand the struggle between control and happy accidents. Watercolor is always a balance, isn’t it? Love your work ❤️

[@TheElectric100]

jeeez i love your art dude! That so fucking beautiful!

[@fairy6615]

Watching his videos ALWAYS makes me want to paint and improve, no matter how demotivated I might feel. Love both pieces!! You're an amazing artist

[@Sandishee]

I'm sooooo happy you're back Mr. Sloops!

[@baoboozled]

I'm so happy I found you again! You were the very first art channel I watched on tutorials for watercolour. I stumbled up the video by chance and it got me into watercolour a year ago or so... if it weren't for you I would never have tried it, but man I love it now. It's so nice finding you again and still being in absolute awe of your mastery of watercolours! Thank you!

[@vanessastyles953]

Many Congratulations on the success of your fabulous Solo Exhibition! You’re an incredible Artist with a fabulous style. This series of paintings is outstandingly awesome and yet through this journey you’ve learned so much. I like that you have mentioned that you would like to go back to basics with watercolour painting and find new ways to explore this wonderful medium. I look forward to your future trials and tribulations 🌟🏆🌟

[@gemyeoo]

just checked out ur website and all your work left me speechless. the details, the intricacies of the tattoos, the colour schemes, the line art gold fish swimming over the page... im in utter awe!! i have been feeling very stuck and unmotivated lately but this your work has inspired me sm!!! 💓

[@keelyyanes240]

Seeing you post is like a breath of fresh air

[@lucy-ruoxi]

I got anxious just watching your pull off the tape around the gold foil!

[@Vobris]

I really love your signature white hair in all your pieces!

[@lilylost1234]

He is finally back and your art couldnt be any better!!!😊😊😊

[@nayu7267]

Love seeing the behind the scenes and your thought processes behind your preparations! I also wanted to say that this video format is great, even if it doesn't have the time-lapses. It's already really cool to see how your work changes between your stages of workflow. Can't wait to see the next vlog!

[@KarolinaZebrowska]

You are CRAZY talented! Those artworks are stunning. I was rewinding the video over and over to just enjoy the detail of your paintings. Amazing. I'd love to have them on my wall.

[@melodiasinger]

[@snehajaijar]

I'm so much addicted to your work sir. Hats off to your patience . 💞

[@BloodyGamer99]

I love your art soooo much! I'm applying for a degree in digital arts because of how much you inspired me!!! Thank you soooooo much!

[@fr33ourminds]

Your control using watercolor is amazing. Its different and has so much depth

[@palestblue]

Your work is always so beautiful. I totally get the control vs water color aesthetics thing. I can't wait to see how your style changes if you decide to go back to a little less control. That is something I really struggle with.

[@Jaya-zn7vr]

Such beautiful shapes, lines and decoration... LOVE your art!

[@nidhir9556]

I've been so very obsessed with your channel since like past two years now! This is so amazing.. Could never get tired of complementing your art.. 💞 Love it!

[@UmiChann3l]

@kelogsloops you are truly taking me to a greater path as an artist 💖 I am learning so much from you 💖💖💖💖😭

[@cawrawr]

Soooo breathtaking 💓

[@lairadragomir123c2]

your art is simply amazing-💫

[@anyaconda3155]

Absolutely stunning 😍

[@Strawbabeytart]

Your work is sooo gorgeous!!! I look forward to seeing whatever else you create!

[@skuebork3096]

HEY I WENT TO NORTHPORT AND I GOT TO SEE YOUR SHOW!! let me tell you it was one hell of a day and seeing haven gallery made it worthwhile

[@jeaniglesias183]

I love all your painting. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sugarcougar1185]

You never fail to make my day every time you upload a video... I love you Hieu! Big inspiration to me!

[@megan6552]

loved this! the broken up style and bits of talking is quite refreshing and gives more insight into your process. plus more interesting than just a timelapse xx

[@cathyherzberg201]

So very cool to see how you worked on these most incredibly beautiful pieces!!!! especially the print I got from Haven Gallery❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@christinazgirlonfire2285]

I like your use of watercolor, very inspiring. Great job

[@artsyavede]

your work is AMAZING I love how you merge different patterns and geometrical styles ☺️

[@rhuechantal6316]

Your work is breathtaking! I love the combination of organic form comingling with the angular, fractal shards of fabric. I love painting water in mixed media, and especially in watercolour! Have you tried masking out the white in the water, with masking fluid? It gives more freedom in laying down those initial washes. Your technique is perfect as is. I just think you will enjoy this approach as well. I've been using leafing in my mixed media, and have sold most of them in my one woman shows. The metallic elements bring colour to life! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Awesome video compilation!

[@redriderfox326]

Love this art work.

[@Sn_SS95]

these pieces are so beautiful and unique. i just love how the colors complete eachother and that gold Uhhhh amazing.

[@kai7670]

Love that realization was shared. Still, I love these series of works you put up. Hopefully you can find that balance where you can have control and let loose at thesame time and have those happy accidents. 😊

[@dameambroisy2022]

Whoa crazy!!!

[@C-S-D.]

This series is awsome! Keep up the hard work, congrats!!

[@anapiacentini5031]

MAN! I didn't know how much I missed seeing you work until now

[@mapletreebb3293]

I love the tape-peeling soundtrack

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Great video! Always love seeing your mom. She's so funny. Totally understand how shooting these videos can interfere with your workflow. I ask myself the same question about how I control my watercolour. I bounce back and forth with different mediums. I would love to see how you do your skin layers. Have a wonderful holiday and hi to your mom.

I'm loving your art so much. Your one of my inspirations. That last piece I can see on my wall. Many I should make a Christmas gift for myself 😉

[@AlliumCepa24]
