"Neighborhood Swatch" - TUTORIAL

[@strawberryaudrey]

I LOVE this video so much I've watched it 4 times! What you say near the end is so lovely and inspiring. I've been having creative block lately and doing these swatches have helped get my creative juices flowing again. Thank you for your positivity and encouragement, James! He is Risen indeed!

[@writeandscribbles9680]

Hi James! Your videos are literally life savers. I’m a new mum and your videos are getting me through the night time feeds... then when she’s napping in day too!!! Thanks so so much!!!

[@katfyte]

Love your explanation of Disney animation. Bambi is my favourite!

[@sharonmariec]

I love your videos even though you are a true artist. I just scrapbook and journal. I still find so much inspiration in your work. Love the kitty and Steve. It is refreshing to listen to someone so happy and content with their life.

[@radishpie3374]

What a great documentary about 101 Dalmatians! Thanks for the recommendation, it was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid!

[@linyq17]

So clever to cover the shadow from the other side of the page with washi tape! Absolutely love this tutorial! ❤️

[@victorynichols]

So much to say about this video! 1. LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE! 2. I am so gonna watch that documentary. 3. Oliver reminds me of my late kitty, so thank you for including him. 4. I loved all of your thoughts about our subconscious and creativity. 5. That house with feet is EVERYTHING. 6. Love your guts! Mmmwah!

[@tjwatkins59]

This was so fun! I used to be very creative, but life got in the way . . . I finally feel my artistic side waking up again and this has given me some inspiration. Thanks much!

[@lakenreich]

I love this-something I can paint at home and take with me to finish. And I so love listening to your stories. I found myself leaning to "see" around your hand-LOL-kind of like I duck when pulling into a parking garage!!

[@monicaflick3354]

Swatch ya doing! Swatch out! Swatch you up to! I’m here all week folks!🌈💋❤️😘👍🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😂😂😂

[@mysticimagesart5827]

That is such a sweet ending shot of Oliver. Love the houses.

[@rainbarber7657]

I enjoyed this tutorial. I liked the swatch houses but honestly, I loved all the Disney history! It's truly fascinating. Also, I love family guy and American dad too. I've recently started watching Loud House as well. Having a grandson has me watching cartoons much more regularly.....lol

[@lindabeasleybrewer1777]

Absolutely love this. Can hardly wait to try my own neighborhood.

[@sharonolsen6579]

Always find myself smiling while watching your videos... and I love this one !! thanks : )

[@paintingstars]

Really super inspired by this video sweetie!!! Thank you so much! Muah!!! Something really adorable about little row of houses! And about a Kitteh watching tv in a guys lap- 😀 take care! Love-Wendy

[@french1kirti]

Wow that is so lovely, its perfect for watercolor swatches, love this more than the dolls.

[@ktatmanaasc]

Love you talking about your inspiration. Another fab video...cant wait to give it a go!! OMG the pic of Oliver & Steve!!!! 😍😍😍

[@janecameron7498]

Great video, I think even I could make these houses. They all look so different with the variety of mediums you used. I’ve got a ton of washi tape.....perhaps now I can use some of them. Thanks for the inspiration, James. The clip of Oliver is so sweet, what a beautiful baby.......Steve’s not bad either.😻😻😻😻

[@quadraknot]

Love the neighborhood swatch, and thanks for the links.

[@dolorescardenas3853]

Another great video...love the neighborhood swatches and stories.

[@HollyWood-pm3xq]

James, I love, love, love the neighborhoods! It is so up my street. You are very incredibly talented. Also, I know someone has told you about the new show that is coming on tv called “Siren”. I know you will enjoy it and get a lot of inspiration from it. I can’t wait to see it myself.

[@grinningneko5480]

Hahahaha! Oliver! I come for the art but stay for the "pep talk." Thanks for always reminding us of our own creativity 😊

[@moonlightcabin9395]

You have no shortage of talent. Just incredible. I find it so funny that you drew the yellow brick road because the house with legs makes me think of the legs from the Wicked Witch sticking out from under the house in The Wizard of Oz. I really appreciated the storytelling that you included too, it was so insightful to learn that about the animation styles! Oh and next time you're in your Family Guy phase, make sure you check out the animated series on Netflix called 'F is for Family'. Voiced and co-written by comedian Bill Burr. My hubby and I thought it was hilarious and binge-watched it in an embarrassingly record time hehe!

[@lindapaperwords4661]

Loved the stories and the swatch houses thanks James 😊

[@marypabon2929]

Sooo awesome!!! You're such an inspiration for this island girl from Puerto Rico!!!

[@yviwinchester814]

I keep wondering why you don't have millions of subscribers?!!! You would really really deserve to have them, because you are literally just too much! REALLY REALLY too much!! You are such an inspiring and talented Artist and I love love love watching you draw, sketch, paint etc....you can just turn the "little'est" piece of paper to magic once you "put your hand (and colors lol) on it" I literally love EVERYTHING you create, plus I learn so much from you !!! And when I say I love EVERYTHING you create, I mean it!!! Being binge watching like wth.....lol Anyways, nuff said lol......take care n much love from Germany, Yvonne Ps: plus you are such a sweetheart and so funny ;-)

[@LesleyTaylor101]

Genius!! Can’t wait to swatch some houses!!

[@ChattylaineCreates]

That was so cool... the washi tape one was really wow!! Off to watch the documentary now... thanks James for great video swatching 😊😊

[@missjelisa]

Everything you do is so FUN! I love it. ♡

[@tashafreeman4265]

The houses are so cool, but Oliver is such a baby... he is the best!

[@julieanngenske1292]

Love this! You are so creative and talented! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheRichAntArt]

I can't wait to try this. I have so many ideas and it even makes me realize how simple creating a background for a painting can be. Also I loved the pastel houses in Edward Scissors hands too. When I saw the Social media episode of Black Mirror and how they were all dressed in pastels and hand pastel houses I thought of that movie.

[@palmiracheresky-pena9956]

Loved the tutorial and I loved the story too. Thank you!

[@mandyshepard2322]

I love making little cityscapes and neighborhoods! You've given me so many more ideas with these techniques! The washi one was really cool, though I like them all! Thanks for sharing!

[@rebeccabee6615]

I have no words for how creative and fun you are to listen to! Thank you so much for sharing your talents! 🤗

[@WerewolfCas]

These are so cute. Reminds me of the doors at the beginning of Monsters Inc.

[@bl0tt44]

think i will use this for houses around the harbour for my grandaughter's birthday card. thanks handsome! x

[@conniesholl3409]

Glad I found you..love your style and work! Thank you!

[@anhaddad]

Awesome and inspiring tutorial!

[@bl0tt44]

thanks for this, puts a new slant on my beach huts xxx

[@marions486]

Love your art and your tutorials👌🏼; I can't wait to try the houses❣❣❣

[@simplymarisa8]

Just loved these houses but listening to your stories was even better and I loved hearing about the Disney bits. I would love more of those!!

[@mjb5633justme]

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing

[@heidefolk3275]

So fun! I’m excited to try this!😊

[@barbaraanderson5785]

Came over from tellhimthanku channel.she had so many wonderful things about you and these 🏠 houses. Gonna take a good, new subbie here.

[@nicolesoria5325]

Actually this could be a washitape ♥️♥️ love it!

[@jaspermartin7444]

cute idea! I love how we learn from each other!

[@victorynichols]

Luna y Mandala YES!!!

[@GoldenWisteria]

Yes!

[@marinazanotta]

Fancy houses! Washi tape version reminds me of the houses in my city covered with fashion billboards. Original! Kiss from Milan (Italy).

[@gatubelasify]

Thank you my sweet gentleman for share👏😍

[@marysu4]

Did you um... maybe have a sip (or 2 or 30?) of too much coffee?? (You are talking at about triple your normal breakneck talk speed!!!) I do not know how Sleeping Beauty wasn't a huge success because the summer it came out I went to EVERY showing at our local theater. My mother would drop me off and I sat through 2-3 shows in a row! Next day, same thing!! (The evening movie would be something else, more of a grownup movie, so I'd walk to my father's office and get a ride home with him. Come to think of it, it only cost a quarter to get in each day for as many shows as I sat through so possibly it didn't make much money. 😏) Anyhow, little houses are one of my FAVORITE things to draw!! Thank you for even more house ideas!! PS: try watching Spy in the Wild with Oliver. Spike LOVES that show!! He really does watch it, too!! (Zoe has a new kitten named Griffin Mackelroy (is that spelled right??) and he is the cutest black cat ever!!) Love as always, Msu

[@soniabecker7757]

Wow Great idea!!! I have 2 large canvas pieces I am going to try this on a bigger scale!!!

[@barbhayes5613]

Love these whimsical neighborhoods! I can't wait to try these with some previously unused materials that did not speak to me in the past. This looks like a great way to loosen up before starting a new project. Thank you!

[@maditakossmann6215]

Great video. I can't wait to try it out ❤

[@jeanmiskimon4018]

That polka dot roof is my fav! Another great tute. Thank you for all that you do! And you were right - sweet clip of Oliver and Steve. :)

[@lifemix5710]

wonderful idea, i love drawing houses, I am sooo going to try this. tfs :)

[@SunshineLeclair]

loved this video, and I did go watch the making of the 101 dalmatians ;) so interesting, thanks for the link!

[@wordsprite7689]

Great inspiration. I am using “house” as one of my prompts for 100 days and had a very similar idea! Thanks for creating!

[@thebluebower]

I know I’m really late to the party but this was wonderful

[@TheMadmonica11]

I always love to watch your creativity James! This is great! Also I’m wondering if you’ve ever seen Floyd Norman An Animated Life on Netflix. He worked at Disney when he was a young man and is about 80 plus years today and I believe he still goes there everyday just to be there! Crazy, it’s interesting and I really enjoyed it!

[@nancypyter1511]

This is great James!

[@JulianaRumple]

It´s always so inspiring to watch your videos and listen to you while you create. I often grab my supplies while i watch your videos nd start creating myself something. I have just posted my neighbourhood swatch and tagged you, hope you can see it! Thanks! ♥️♥️

[@canadakaren1614]

I LOVE this idea James! So easy yet so completely awesome! I too have purchased the Dylusions travel size journals and am loving them. I'll be working on this tomorrow at lunch for sure :)

[@kaytexfolkart3412]

Love the neighborhood! Can’t wait to try them-- I’m in love with them!

[@bissmark7952]

I love listening to you, ur so positive, motivating and full of energy! Btw i will totally try this, would be an amaaaazing method to fill up background in my sketchbook! Love that ;)

[@texasbarb]

What fun!!! So many ideas floating around in my brain now. Your tutorials are the BEST!! And...Oliver...total relaxation and trust. I couldn’t find the link to the documentary...eek!

[@cheryls_creative7048]

Fabulous! I’m going to try this, you make me want to go back to Instagram!

[@colleenandmark]

Sooo cute

[@TheKazadoodle]

Reminds me of the animations produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises during the 60s and early 70s. There's probably good reason Mr Disney didn't like the look of 101 Dalmatians and mostly has to do with the fact that none of his feature length animation movies did as well as his first, Snow White. While Bambi, Dumbo, Pinocchio (which also had ground breaking animations along with Fantasia, mixing in live action) etc are considered classics today and still sell, they were largely a financial disaster and unpopular at the time of their release. Walt more than likely thought that doing something so completely out of the box, when his classic animations didn't sell, that this would be a flop too. He was wrong and that, more than likely, hit hard.

[@jaspermartin7444]

omg I though this was a stamp! how cool! Frankly (and don't call me frank, my secrit name is shurely) I'm new to all these journalings things but already exhausted at the prospect of wanting (let's be real it's a want not a need but omg WHAT A NEED) a thousand different stamps. WHO has that kind of money?! If they had that kind of money they wouldn't be buying stamps -- they'd be drinking fancy drinks on the Rivera while someone else stamped for them. :P

[@lknnmmnkj]

🌺

[@simpletings511]

Pretty ❤️

[@madhattersartstudio8344]

if you like the pastel colors in Edward Scissor hand you may like the coloring of Dick Tracy (Madonna/beatty) not the best movie but i love the art direction / coloring in it.

[@evelynmartin5400]

Love it u r awesome

[@joannaskor316]

do you have a video of the palette of watercolors you are using ? lovely array of reds...

[@kimtownsend838]

Great video, found you recently, really inspiring 😊 I was also looking for the documentary link please

[@1erickjon]

A great sub-series I'D love to watch would be "How to use your Washi tape in creative ways" by James Burke! I've got too much and don't know what to do with it most times....just a thought. Like #334!

[@1erickjon]

i.e. : Washi Wednesdays??

[@1erickjon]

You're reminding me of one of my personal favorites too today, Charley Harper.....

[@nikb.421]

Hallowhismy!

[@nicolesoria5325]

Question! What did you put on top when you finished with the houses with washitape?

[@JamesLukeBurkeCreative]

the pen I used was an "OHTO Fude Ball 1.5", the paint was Tim Holtz Distress paint :)

[@nicolesoria5325]

thanks!!!

[@joannicabritannica4726]

How can I ever get this house cleaned now?? I have to go make some houses!
