I love dragons and hiking, so this piece really spoke to me! The colors worked so well together.

[@allisonaletha]

Awww I’m so glad you liked the piece!! What’s your favorite place you’ve gone hiking? Mine is definitely Garden of the Gods in Colorado 😍😍

[@painterlyella]

@@allisonaletha I don’t have any specific spots, but anyplace with a pretty brook and lots of trees. There is something so peaceful about walking on a path with tons of trees surrounding you.

[@allisonaletha]

I totally agree!! Just being out in nature brings me so much joy 💛

I love your art and I love this piece! Keep going! You rock for getting out of your comfort zone and start pitching your portfolio. I'm enjoying your videos so much, you really inspire me.

[@allisonaletha]

You are the 3rd artist I've seen that feels the need to challenge themselves . You go girl! I haven't painted in 7 months due to an injury. I just want to paint! Sitting and standing just became available to me in the last few weeks. So of course I bought new brushes. gouache, paper and basically anything you can think of. I love your work. and I think you have the "every picture tells a story" down pat!

[@allisonaletha]

Thank you so much, Bobbie!! I'm so glad you're healing and getting ready to paint again. That's very exciting!! 💛

[@blakewyns]

Aww i love it :( ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫰

[@allisonaletha]

Aww thank you!! 💛

[@mattieleerootandpine]

So gorgeous! I love watching your process. I really want to work on gouache backgrounds - I have a tendency to go too thick, too fast and lose that painterly watercolor-esque look that you did so well in this piece! Also love your rocks and the purple shadow/bright orange color scheme! Can't wait to see what other wonders you create this year.

[@allisonaletha]

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Backgrounds can DEFINITELY be a hassle, and I TOTALLY understand the struggle of going too thick, too fast (that’s a problem I face a lot.)

[@givemecartoons]

Ahh I love it so much💖💖!! Honestly for the new year all I want to do is DRAW, since I haven't drawn in a while and lost some inspiration over the past few months. Althought the colors in this piece really inspire me right now😊

[@allisonaletha]

Thank you so much!! I hope this new year brings you lots of time to draw, and lots of inspiration for it. 🥰

[@givemecartoons]

@@allisonaletha Thank you so much!!😁😁

[@phyynartsGGG]

Ayo can I steal that intro I love it! (I'll give ya the credit and more!)

[@fralou_sind_kreativ]

When it comes to setting goals and how much time you have to actually accomplish things I can highly recommend to you the "HB90 Course" by Heart Breathings. She is an author he on KZbin and her way of organizing her creative tasks helped me a lot :) And for the record: I love your art and cannot wait to see more originals from you

[@allisonaletha]

Ooo thank you so much for the suggestion!! I'll definitely check it out.💛
