These real time loose sketch videos are healing my painting burnout and fear Its refreshing and the remainders to have fun helps so much. Hope to see more of these 🤍🤍

[@JilleeArts]

Glad to hear that❤️🧡

[@syritasdoneitgoodytwoshoes2471]

same!! such fun!

[@allthingsglowy]

The first one was more of a real look but the second one was more of a cartoon type

[@JilleeArts]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@JermLikes2Draw]

I usually notice that in your architectural painting there is plants so I would love to see you sketch and paint botanical subjects!🌱

[@JilleeArts]

That’s a great idea 🌱🍀❤️

[@jamesgreer3953]

I enjoy the buildings. Caroline

[@fleiwo797]

Beide Techniken und Bilder sind sehr schön. Vielen Dank für ihr Video dazu. Alle Liebe.

[@chameldoesart]

Both are stunning, but I think the 2nd one is more visually interesting. Great job!

[@Momabearsews]

Both winners - different techniques - beautiful! Thank you for your videos. Very inspiring

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much 💗

[@lauramarrow7411]

Jill, for me personally, I always enjoy your architectural subjects, quaint shops, but I think I would like to see food subjects as well. I love this painting today and thanks for making these serene and calming videos with that music, love the music. the above comment was made before the end and I have to say I kind of like the second approach the best. They both are great in a different way but I like the loose look

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you Laura! I will try sketching some food and see how it goes 💗💗

[@slimiworld]

I just love your art ❤ To be honest I inspire by seeing your art work

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you so much 😀

[@polosandoval]

One is not better than the other. While I generally sketch first then paint, I Love them both! Very lovely ☺

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you ☺️💗

[@one_from_detroit]

the loose version is more appealing artistically. the technical version is very beautiful and That Lantern POP! Nice 👍

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much😄🩷

[@Ramesh-vz2iu]

These drawings are absolutely stunning, featuring a beautiful blend of red and orange hues, complemented by touches of green and a sky-blue green canopy. 🤍

[@syritasdoneitgoodytwoshoes2471]

Jilly - bit of a 'long-shot' but you mentioned that you're open to suggestions for future Tutorials etc, i have 2 that i'd personally love to watch you Paint! 1. The Bath House - from the Anime Film 'Spirited Away', its beautiful and i think you'd make a beautiful version. 2. Brighton Pavillion is a beautiful Architectural Building that i also feel only you could Paint! Regards from London, England. Thanks in advance for your consideration 😘

[@JilleeArts]

Interesting, thank you for your suggestions! I will keep them in mind 👍☺️💗

[@ChantelleArts]

I really want to try that second idea, the results are so beautiful 😍

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you, do try it! 🩷

[@bethwilliams7967]

Both are incredible; the first one appeals to me more in the same sense that you mention-the neatness and precision of the locale.

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much Beth💗☺️

[@deeptwosteps1735]

I want to sketch and found your videos . Your sketches and paints are very beautiful and I like your style. At the first time I‘d prefar your second picture, but at least both are very great and it‘s a nice idea. Many thanks to show your sketching on here 😊❤

[@Nanetteb]

These sketches are gorgeous.Of red and orange side and green around with skate blue green awning.I love those of complimentary colors as details and the street of Japan here.

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you! Indeed, the color theme of this street corner really caught my eye 💗

[@elizathemermaid]

Both of your paintings are absolutely beautiful! I love when you make videos comparing techniques

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you 💗

[@davidbunce7781]

I like the second one better but both are outstanding. Love the narration- your style is very relaxing and the commentary is always so helpful. I wait for your videos - keep em coming!

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you David, your comments always keep me going 💕

[@donnakelly8911]

I agree with what you said.

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

As do I!!! 👩‍🦳🖌️🎨❤️❤️

[@user-xd2ej6rn9l]

Love your buildings paintings. Love the second painting even more ❤

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much 💗💗

[@willettejackson979]

Enjoyed similarities alongside you in this one with color and detail. Balance a key used wisely today. Thank you Jillee❤😊

[@krisharaart]

Oooo JilLee this was so helpful! I love seeing the development steps of the loose painting. Beautiful paintings! I love your art!

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much!☺️

[@user-qr1jv4jf3f]

I love and follow your sketching video long time ago, your techniques inspire me so far.

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much, good to hear that 🥹💗

[@willettejackson979]

Delightful,Total Enjoyment.😊😉🤙❤

[@Betrue875]

I prefer the second sketch. It has a more relaxed appearance, and causes you to look at it longer which I think means it's more enjoyable to the eye. The first sketch is wonderful too. It does have more detail, but all of the natural world is detailed, so we're used to detail in our daily lives. Just some thoughts. I wish I can be as good as you! You have a natural talent!

[@dorisdavidson7849]

Both are wonderful and it was interesting to watch you render them. I like watching you paint in real time. Thanks!!!❤

[@katebagley8234]

Like them both so much, but i think it depends on the building you are painting to which style is best, its artists own choice which is great. Please dont apologise for your pronunciation, its fabulous, your voice and the background music make your videos very zen like! Cant wait for the next one 😊 x

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you☺️ happy to hear that 💓💗

[@sumusarma4487]

The both paintings are very very marvalous and you are my inspiration 🎉

[@leatherbyleah]

Enjoy what you do and thank you for giving your knowledge so freely.

[@user-qn6fi9un4d]

Потрясающие работы, восхищаюсь! ❤🎉

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much 💕

[@zzdoodzz]

I think they both turned out great, but if I had to pick one I would pick the loose one. Like all art, it's your own choice how you want to interpret something. But given one took 5 hours, I think the one that took less time is probably better, just because it allows more time to do other things, however if you had fun doing the 5 hour one, then it doesn't matter. Thank you again for sharing.

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you, I did have fun with both so it’s hard to choose💓

[@abhijeetbiswal2929]

It's extremely fabulous!👌

[@mylittleno0k407]

❤❤ I love your arts! Your channel is one of my favorite. Thanks for sharing your works.

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you ☺️💗

[@bobbydazzler3067]

Hi Jillee. Ive been really enjoying your content. Please do more buildings. There are so many different shape sizes buildings in the world that you will never be short of new ideas. Statues are also something nice to draw. Landscape also. I'd like to see your approach to that. But i really love your urban stuff. more please. Thanks so much for the content. its really humbling and inspiring which is all i can ask for. btw. balance is the centre of all things. literally and figuratively. 😉

[@roz9760]

I can't decide on which one I like best? They are both so lovely. I find your videos so relaxing and inspiring, you are so good at what you do. So glad I found you on you tube, I have downloaded some of your skeches from Ko-Fi and had a go myself which I have really enjoyed doing, not feeling confident enough to do the line work myself, the sketches have been great. Love it!

[@parkseongho9979]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s amazing to me. I prefer to second one but it is not easy for me. :)

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much ☺️💗

[@beninformato9040]

dreamy, inspiring. lovely.

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you🧡❤️🩷

[@doctornebula]

I love your work. Watching you draw before I start my day helps me be more peaceful. Would you consider drawing and painting Japanese gardens?

[@one_from_detroit]

I love buildings also that’s what drew me to your channel. But I think it would be great to step out of your comfort zone and go wild

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you, I will try!💓

[@syritasdoneitgoodytwoshoes2471]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I struggle with perspectives and you make it look so easy. Learnt so many tips from you. ❤

[@kerry4987]

Wow! you are good! Love both of them. A pleasure to watch, thank you. Also I really appreciate seeing you using the ruler, it just seems to help getting the process off on the right foot.

[@riancorcoran7885]

So beautiful. I love both impressions of the building. ❤

[@pottermalfoy88]

Hello. First, I would like to congratulate you for the beautiful work you do and your talent. I love watching your videos. And they inspire me. I even bought some drawing materials, but I still don't feel confident drawing. But I hope I can make some sketches. ❤👏🏼🇧🇷

[@vineeth6526]

[@JilleeArts]

💓💓

[@willettejackson979]

We learn to become better through our mistakes. Still ❤❤❤👍

[@Nathalieroy2624]

You are such a good teacher. I love everything about you, your work, your subjects, your voice, the info you give, not too much not too little, the quality and clarity the videos are so professional… you are inspiring me to give this a go. I have been coming to watercolours but i really like to ink in the design and then paint it. This tutorial may be on the expert level but i really want to try this! You make me feel confident. Thank you. I will go and follow you on that creator’s site your refering and buy a couple of your line works just to make it easier on myself and not give up on the first take. Thank you, you made want to try something else than simple botanicals Watercoloring. You are just a darling. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you very much Nathalie, glad you found some inspiration 💗🥰

[@artaesthetics06]

It's my request to paint shinchan's and nobita's house please ....I love your art❤️

[@JilleeArts]

Thank you, interesting suggestion!💗

[@tinderbox218]

The "mistake" is entirely in your mind, because no one would even have noticed if you hadn't called such attention to it. Even had we noticed the difference in a side-by-side comparison, we'd be inclined to think "oh, the leaves blew in front of the banner on this sketch, it must be a breezy day". Sounds like a happy accident to me, bringing some extra life to the sketches. Just roll with it and don't worry about "correcting" something that needn't be an error, risking overworking the spot.

[@JilleeArts]

You may be right, always good to view them as happy accidents instead of sad ones!

[@nadiaanwar4437]

What is the difference in procedure that takes 5 hours I mean do you allow the paint to dry that takes long time or is it something else

[@JilleeArts]

No, one sketch I did more loosely with different technique so it is faster 😊
