When that man brought you some fruits showing his gratitude, I started to cry as it touched me greatly. Human kindness is so magical. And you never miss to show it in your videos and remind us to be kind all the way. I am so grateful for that. You are a huge motivation for me, both with your art and your personality. Thank you, Jess. 💝

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it

[@moumoun7]

The iguanas and Squarespace situation was just magical! Bravo Jess!! And of course your art is always so inspiring. ❤

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!! So glad you liked it

[@SteveRB511]

Agree! Great at art and apparently great at marketing as well - made me watch the whole ad even though I have seen Squarespace ads for years and now just pass over them..

[@suze7268]

I wish you'd included the apple & orange in your page somewhere, as a little reminder. Your work is always spectacular, as are your surroundings! 😊 Thank you Jess xXx

[@artofjesskarp]

Oh yes! Great idea 😍😍

[@twinks806]

Every time I watch one of your videos I walk away feeling inspired, motivated and confident to create my own art. I’ve noticed in your videos, people and the beauty of nature just flock to you and surround you. The universe gives back to those who give! You are a truly beautiful person and a positive influence. Keep creating and sharing your gorgeous artwork!! As a longtime viewer, watching you evolve has been inspiring!! I’ve seen an improvement in my own art. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!! Happy creating!! 💕 🎨 ❤

[@shelbyf2582]

[@arianatorbutera9152]

The detail of that man was beautiful!!! I don't have the opportunity to go out to such beautiful and spacious places to draw, but such beautiful experiences can happen anywhere! The other day I was outside my neighborhood and I was sketching a neighbor's car and when I was done I decided to leave the drawing on the windshield wiper, an anonymous gift. And it was an incredible surprise when the next day I saw a paper where I had left my sketch that said "thank you!" I swear it was an amazing feeling... This is what art can give, it's priceless 🥺❤️🎨

[@artofjesskarp]

That’s incredible!! Thanks for sharing and for watching!!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks !

[@mf1203]

Your art is amazing, how quickly it can go from a few strokes to an artwork. Would it be possible to maybe some more tutorials style videos in the future? Maybe something like sketching landscapes, or portraits or or something for beginners etc? Just some basic guidelines or tips. Or basic painting tips. Basic supplies needed to start, just different pens and pencils to use, the layers with gesso or underpaintings or stuff like that. It would be awesome. Love the videos!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks for the request and for watching

[@ninanoorable]

I watched this video this morning then finally had the courage to go sketch outside ..and someone came to me and gave me sports drink ^^

"Your mission is not what you do, but what happens in others when you do what you do." I dont know where this quote is from, but I wanted to leave it here. When I watch people make art, it often discourages me with mine, but when I watch YOU making art, it encourages me to pursue my own art and vision.... THANK YOU for being out here on the arena

[@evangelinepoe8952]

Your plein air videos are always so fun. When you said you hadn’t done a bench before, it took me back to the equally fun video where you showed the palette your dad made you ❤️🎨 and the bird that sat above you dropping ‘gifts’ down. 😂 you did a bench in that session too. Loved the Yana squarespace piece. So creative. You always make me smile. 🥰

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!!! 😅😊 so glad you remember that :)

[@mikegrant4424]

Love watching your videos Jess....and not just because you teach us so much. It's also the relaxation you provide during your careful narration of your clip. Rock on Chica...my wife and I will always be big fans of you.

Wow, that was pretty sweet having the visitor return with a gift. 🍎🟠 Very cool. Beautiful spread. They all are separate yet connected 😊 I love that you included your green friend!

[@briansweeney2096]

I love getting out (so to speak) with you on your sketchbook dates. Perhaps it's because I can't get out as much now as I used to---I'm 78 and still doing art and love it. So, you see, you have a long and full arty life ahead, please enjoy. Oh, BTW, I really love how you incorporate the people you meet and their comments in your videos. Be sketchy, Brian

Love that double page spread. I’ve only just started on my sketching journey (at the age of 64) and the thought of tackling something like that is both scary and exciting! If I could get a fraction of that skill I would be happy. The weather here in the UK had been awful so I’m taking the opportunity to sketch from photos and things around the house until we get some dry weather🤷🏻‍♂️Thanks for sharing 💜🎨
