making art everyday for a week ~

[@OmfgHiii]

also it's so valid wanting to be more current and immersed with your cultural references not so generic traditional

[@ChantelleArts]

such a wonderful achievement to consistently create art, sometimes I like to set myself a challenge of filling entire sketchbooks in short time frames ❤❤❤

[@tammydinh]

amazed by how you consistently post 20+min long videos every week. loved this video!

[@palomathepeach]

i STRUGGLE to get to 20 min sometimes :’)) 🩷🩷

[@emsfofems]

@@palomathepeachim the opposite I could talk and talk and talk when the camera is on, have to cut out so much stuff because hello emily this is not a vlog save it for the vlog😂 yet I love watching other people talk and talk so I should just do it

[@macyjanecattermole]

love that you blur the art in intro, i’m always thinking like nooo i wanna be surprised haha

[@MyCozyAbode]

I just came across this channel and first thing I noticed is the blurred intro itself and this comment ❤😂😂😂

[@enoughblush]

After hearing you speak about not relating to art depicting things like hot cheetos and abuelita hot chocolate in relation to Mexican culture, I was honestly really surprised to see you make a piece of art depicting a name brand food item, because I personally find that to be identical thematically! I really really loved your Yakult piece - I find it really beautiful that having certain comfort foods repeats across cultures (fellow mexican household with yakult over here!) What a lovely video

[@palomathepeach]

thematically yes- i guess i meant more in the sense of what we see commercially! common knowledge of what mexican foods are would be the hot cheeto, abuelita, conchas sort of thing whereas imo yakult is not as known? at least for hispanic households- i know its super commercial for showcasing east asian culture!

[@enoughblush]

for sure!

[@abetterjulie]

This is the video I needed today, thank you. I'm working to learn how to play, rather than feeling guilt when something I make feels like "wasting" materials. This helped reframe my thinking. Also, I could not stop being in awe (and fear) at you painting without a smock!

[@palomathepeach]

hahahah i always forget to wear my apron!! and i’ve gotten used to the idea that with every piece we learn something that helps us get to the artist we want to be, no matter how much we dislike a piece we make

[@leyaluna102]

sharing your sennelier pastels must be peak friendship

[@apple.cheeks]

That last piece with the green onions has stolen my heart

[@MinaRod-jd8mz]

YOUR SO PRETTYYYY

[@blummbo]

the over head shot of salem taking up the whole desk is so cute lol

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

He was helping 😊

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Love how kitteh helps carve the printing block 😊 I'm #NativeAmerican too. Love hearing about the culture of my indigenous brethren south of the border. ✊🏽🇲🇽

[@alejandracardenas4247]

This video for sure motivated me to do some more traditional art! I loved the cardboard cut of the fish bowl ! :D

[@HazelBechtel]

Thanks for posting Paloma! Hope you’re doing well and are staying safe and healthy! ❤❤

[@ren3151]

Your videos are honestly so calming and so inspiring to watch 🤍

[@ethelthekid]

Not me with a Yakult in my hand as I watch this masterpiece! 😳 I felt so seen to what you said about not relating to art depicting specific foods in Mexican culture as a Mexican. I just haven’t been able to articulate the feeling. Beautifully said! 🇲🇽

[@deborah1424]

Watched while I drew and the sound, music, and of course theme of this video were like the perfect vibes. Really enjoyed it 🥰

[@mewmew816]

I have been in artist block but with your video I grabbed my brush and started painting again. thank you so much!

[@amandaarts3277]

I loved this video! The music + your traditional art = chefs kiss

[@ahhhhmandaa]

I adored everything you made this week! Watching this video was so inspiring and made me wish I could leave my full time job and just create all day 🫶🏼✨

[@oohlalanie]

this was a treat to watch you create as you go and flow with whatever at hand. thanks for the reminder to just put out art without the over thought haha cheers

[@hardeggz]

yesss i got so tired of ppl using the same "objects of consumption" as a way to communicate cultural identity a few years ago. like damn, the latinx culture(s) is a bit more nuanced and diverse than hot cheetos, conchas and frida kahlo. i feel like im seeing interesting work these days from a lot of latam punks involved in their community/or cross-latinoamerica zine and illustration spaces. Came across Iurhi Peña at at LA's Bookworm zinefest last year and fell in love with their work cuz it was Mexican but also deeply personal without using the same products of consumption we're used to seeing in the US! Also love this insight in ur process!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

Thank you for this, it was really inspiring! Been feeling very stuck in my paintings lately. Also, please get cut resistant gloves. When you scrape off the paint (at 20:32) I used to do that as well, until I cut myself pretty badly (my tendon got cut in the process, had to have surgery) since then, everytime I use a cutter I wear that cut resistant glove on my non dominant hand.

[@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33]

This video inspired me to get going on my own art. Some really cool pieces today.

[@VimblesArt]

unsolicited tip (but it came in very handy for me so I'm sharing lol!!) because I saw your canvas had dents: wet the back and let it dry!!! it'll straighten right out it's amazing (idk if this has any repercussions from the art gods but i did this to a canvas that got really warped in transit :')))

[@palomathepeach]

ah THANK U!! i was wondering how i could fix it, luckily after being painted on it mostly went away

[@passionball87]

I absolutely LOVE the color palette you used for the fish! ♥️👍🏼 keep up with your beautiful artsy creations 🖼️ ✨

[@ExLibrisMara]

This video was so motivating , so cool to see all the different ways to create art!

[@nishan9869]

I am having an emotionally bad day and watching this is really helping me. Thank you🫶🏽

[@sakurazukamorisubaru]

KITTY! So fluffy! * ^ * PS This video is so satisfying to watch.😌 Linoleum carves so smoothly and I always liked the color of orange underpainting people are using. Also, I was able to relax and paint first time in few days. Thanks for that too.

[@MelMitchJackArt]

love that little fish! would make such a great sign for any upcoming art markets you have!

[@sonyaa_idk]

God, you have a very pretty appearance and a comfort vibe. And your paintings... It's just wonderful and so atmospheric... I like it. *✧

[@BassMusicCompilations]

Great video! I really love that piece you made while hanging out with your friend.

[@brittanysalzone]

Love the longer video! Great to listen and watch while working along side drawing :]

[@creativewah]

I really enjoyed this video! The cardboard fish bowl is so cute! 🧡💕🧡

[@magdal5465]

Tengo memorias muy bonitas con los yakult, también fueron un símbolo que caracteriza mi infancia mexicana ❤. Recuerdo que solíamos guardarlos en el refri para que estuvieran bien fríos, pero un día le dije a mamá "lo voy a meter (el yakult) en el refri para enfriarlo" mi mamá le causó gracia lo redundante que estaba siendo, así que me contestó "no, mételo en el microondas" y yo en mi inocencia si lo metí jaja Tu grabado me hizo recordar esa parte de mi infancia y de verdad aprecio cuando el arte me hace tener una reflexión personal al igual que me permite conocer un cachito de tu vida. Greetings from another Mexican artist and thank you for sharing

[@littletinyegg]

this was so fun! and thanks for introducing us to Joyce Kozloff- I love her work!

[@creamsiclecat]

I really enjoyed your video, it was so chill and didnt feel forced! Hope to see more!

[@Lisbif]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@StarseedS777]

Thank u so much for the video! so inspiring! ❤

[@devonsmith4856]

I love all the play and experimenting, and such good results! Also a bit obsessed with your big fried eggy pillow, is it one of your designs?

[@palomathepeach]

no it’s from miniso :)

[@elenstefs]

You’re the most productive person on earth fr!

[@palomathepeach]

only for little bursts at a time hahaha

[@OmfgHiii]

slightly wetting the folded piece of paper also helps tearing it smoothly yet not super clean cut

[@palomathepeach]

ooo thank u!

[@cookie-kei]

I have perfect timing, just pulled up KZbin to keep me company while I sketchbook!

[@kalo1117]

I just could not stop laughing when ur painting in time lapse and u can hear the sound of what u doing 06:56, it looks so funny to mee. The yawey print looks so cute❤❤

[@sophie7412]

omg I love the texture the post-its give to the painting!! it’s so cool and interesting! I’ve never seen that before, I might try it soon! (also quick Q! I love the ipad artboard you have, where did you get it?)

[@palomathepeach]

it’s called the sketchboard pro! i ordered it from their website :)

[@lookin4avampire]

Omg Paloma I just bought that twilight shirt at the end from old navy!

[@palomathepeach]

woah nice!! i found mine at target

[@nelebr159]

Love this video! First one i’ve seen of probs many more on your channel :) What is is that you hold your ipad on when you’re drawing on the couch?

[@palomathepeach]

it’s a sketchboard pro!

[@annaowen]

Never carve toward yourself-signed, my thumb scar.

[@palomathepeach]

oh ya i know ahahah, that’s why i only use the easy carve blocks bc i barely have to use any pressure

[@viviennart]

There's a Reference option in Procreate so you don't have to put your ref photo on the canvas.

[@palomathepeach]

yes! i always forget lol

[@amandaterrio4823]

Sometimes wetting the crease with a paintbrush makes it easier to tear in a straight line

[@minlee4012]

Paloma I love to know what your brush pen organizer. The horizontal wood on on your right side of drawing table. I've been lookin for something like that. Thanks! and i love your art and videos.

[@palomathepeach]

it’s from amazon by the brand ohuhu!

[@alyssamiranda03]

She was watching " Queen of Tears " ;) 15:45 yeeeyyy

[@reginacrotser4080]

I’ve been looking for soft oil pastels!! What brand were those?

[@palomathepeach]

theyre sennelier!

[@berealvarez9956]

lo que más me hace pensar en mi infancia es el magito sonrics, dragon ball y los duritos preparados, está bien interesante como para muchos los recuerdos son más tradicionales que en otros

[@cypresswilde]

Do you still have an aquarium? Love this video sm!!!

[@palomathepeach]

no 😞 my fish kept dying so i decided to hand it off to my uncle hahaha

[@natdafn]

What kind of paint did you use for the carving print? :) love your videos

[@palomathepeach]

it’s the speedball block printing paint!

[@Ahhnhella]

I noticed you’re watching Queen of tears on your iPad I’m also currently watching Queen of tears 😊

[@kim.possible.]

Sorry if I missed it but what what brushes are you using in Procreate for that portrait?

[@palomathepeach]

RSCO mr. marker set!

[@22catattack]

AHHH please don't carve towards your hand! That is how I had to get stiches at the ER!

[@ryennegarcia1574]

irrelevant, but your couch!! Where’d you get it? 🥺

[@palomathepeach]

it’s from west elm!! we decided to get a custom couch

[@triz.albuquerque]

the bossa nova in portuguese

[@danielleAV]

I feel the same way about the common Mexican American symbols not feeling totally representative of my own experience.. love that you talked about it! ❤

[@bilge-nur]

how do you motivate yourself during difficult times? What has happened in Gaza since October 7 has driven us all to burnout. With this desperation, we cannot focus on our lives.

[@palomathepeach]

i think i approach it more in a way of knowing there r things i have to do and also want to do instead of waiting for motivation? bc tbh i rarely feel any but what makes me do stuff is knowing ill feel better at the other side of it. i agree i think the gen0c!de in Gaza have caused such a loss of hope, although i will admit ive felt this way most of my teen years and into my adulthood with ongoing horrors happening within my community and homeland. all we can do is do what we can in terms of helping, whatever that looks like for each individual and keep living.

[@mollyeaton917]

I noticed a bunch of dimples in your canvas, if you wet the back it should restretch its self

[@ElinorStudio]

cute

[@kinbailey310]

Whos in the aquarium behind u?!

[@palomathepeach]

shin godzilla the leopard gecko! my husband has had her for 3 years :) we just recently moved stuff around the apartment so she’s in the studio now

[@laurinhaBCG]

DO NADa música em potugujes

[@elifcliff]

Would I be a bad follower if I tell you that I hate the mouth/nose noises from your head camera like in 2:58? Normally I wouldnt hear that in other videos, very weird…Sorry…

[@palomathepeach]

nah

[@lainiwakura1776]

Abuelita is gross though... tamales, tacos, burritos, beer, and mariachi, I hold the food close, the beer and mariachi is just what I saw and heard at the family parties. But I don't give much thought to my cultural background, it doesn't inspire me like my favorite music and movies and books do.

[@palomathepeach]

i don’t like abuelita either o.O i used to not feel as inspired by my culture but the older i get the more i cherish how it really has impacted so much of my personality
