It's so interesting to see a channel from the start! Keep it up ☺

[@carlyissel6019]

✨The last piece of art was honestly perfect, having fun and also making something that looks cute is the best.✨

[@abouncyfrog]

This was very inspiring. I’m a writer and a lot of times it’s hard to just get up and do the darn thing. So thank you for keeping me company while I stare at a blank word document 😅

[@tomasmeza5059]

Found your channel out of no where and it is so satisfying to just have in the back while I do work. Amazing job with you pieces too. Much love 🤍

[@graciela.aceituna]

[@inherglowupera]

literally the same case with me! @avi i have my high school exams with start next week and they'll be for a month so literally no time paint or color or draw 😭 i have to study i knowwww but it's so hard not to do anything after watching such a lovely video 🤧

[@pankkhh]

@@inherglowupera ikrrrrr i instantly made a short short sketch right after watching the videoo ahhh and then i got back to studying >:

[@inherglowupera]

@@pankkhh that's great! i hope both of us do well in our exams and then we can make art without any regrets!♡

[@claudiamontalvo4304]

I like your vlog video different things very cool! keep going on (thumb up and smile)

[@cha0ticT.]

I love the thursday one! It looks so pretty especially how the blue and black paint fades in, its just perfct✨

[@graciela.aceituna]

thank you

[@allys9294]

I’m so glad I found your channel. You’re videos are so peaceful and you inspire me to go make new art and finish the one’s I’ve started, thank you!

[@stephcd]

Your videos are like a breath of fresh air.

[@Aaron-lx7yw]

Hey! I really liked this concept! The art was very cool, I liked how you used different medium, and also I love how you see the fun you have in the last piece? It looks like you're done with it and just doing what you feel like and it feels very fun!! And definitely learning to do art quicker and actually finish pieces look like very useful skills to have in the art industry :)

[@alinatr2693]

hey, perfectionist here👋🏻 I'm my harshest critic, but I've learned that in order to make good art, you have to make bad art and It's ok if you don't like it,you can't love everything you create😌. Not making art is worse than painting just for fun or something you aren't 100% in love with. I covered up a bad painting with black,because I hated it. One year later I've found it again and had a new idea,I painted roses with acrylic paint and structure paste AND YOU KNOW WHAT,I don't like it 100%,but I tried something new😊👍🏻

[@graciela.aceituna]

i love that mentality

[@schoolwork9614]

❤❤❤❤ so cute ❤❤❤❤

[@KrakevKrakohwirtz]

This is such a tough challenge to do, so I'm honestly so impressed you threw yourself into it and managed to stick to it! Kinda want to try for myself tbh 👀 And you have a very nice flow to your videos, keep it up! And I think my favorite has to be the needlefelt beetle, do love me a good bug 😌

[@oflyhigher8762]

absolutely loved all the artworks (the little jar is so adorable ) your channel inspiring and gives me this magical feeling ✨ since I started college I don’t have the time and energy to do art, I miss it and can’t wait to start again so this video made me fee like I’m home ❤️‍🩹

[@graciela.aceituna]

thank you so much, that's so sweet 🥺 i hope you find the time again soon!!

[@elliscristina3431]

Do a video about your natural inks please

[@Konstantina.nsd_]

Hey! Love your art and your style!!

[@graciela.aceituna]

I don’t usually use acrylics because I struggle to blend them in time before they dry - I know there are slow-dry mediums that can help, but I still struggle to get the consistency right 💔 I also just really love gouache and the way it handles (so smooth and flat, very my style). If you’re used to acrylics, gouache can definitely have a bit of a learning curve, but I totally recommend giving it a shot!

[@seggsyri]

love it, do u draw it from memory or with reference pictures 🥰?

[@graciela.aceituna]

Both! It just depends on what I'm working on - all of the pieces with specific species of plants or animals were referenced, and everything else is from memory :-)

[@chiaraferme3883]

i love this!! sorry for asking, but, what do you paint with? lol

[@graciela.aceituna]

omg i can't believe i didn't say 😭 the background of the moth/butterfly duo is acrylic and the beetle was done in ink, but literally everything else i paint in this video is in gouache. I mostly use holbien artists' designer gouache and i definitely reccomend it! it is super pricey though ;-;

[@PaulineKoniuch]

Hi, I wanted to ask about the brand of colored pencils you're using, they seem so opaque and smooth!

[@graciela.aceituna]

they're prismacolors!! i really like them :-)

[@PaulineKoniuch]

@@graciela.aceituna thank you!

[@sanjilaa]

you are such a creative person!! This definitely made me motivated and wanna make me go back to creating art since i slack off quite alot even when i want to create art, maybe because of all these school work that r piled up. having this motivation wants me to make time for the things i really love!! So yeah thanks for that and keep posting moree‼️🫶
