SKETCHBOOK DATE! Drawing Strangers at a Cafe

[@slewp]

Adrian fell in love

[@artofjesskarp]

Did you enjoy? Where should our next sketchbook date be? 🙃💭 PS. That intro was my first attempt at stop motion animation… and yes I voiced those noises.🤣 so fun!

[@evazalesakova3579]

Love you 🥰 you inspire me so much

[@artvalley6181]

Shopping mall

[@sunshine_8395]

In forest 🌲

[@MrsBarnabas]

Maybe in the park, or in a town square, with people passing by?

[@VitasArtworks]

In front of your home ❤️🏡

[@DevonMeyersArt]

Jess can these art dates become a video series?! i would love to see more videos like this ☺️

[@artofjesskarp]

Absolutely!!!

[@rosannap2651]

Vieni a fare un video qui in Sicilia 😍😜ti aspetto 🥰

[@alicelundhpapiernik8630]

Below : i would love to see more videos like this. I love only too see this vido soo yes more plase ❤🎉❤

[@dakotadalton2536]

I liked the backpack going gobble gobble! It’s cool to see how you apply your creativity to videography

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks so much!!

[@sil3nthunter1]

I bet that date would be an amazing experience.

[@WillowRoseArlen]

These are some of my favorite videos of yours, when you are out painting or sketching in public and making connections and really taking us with you as you connect with a place and the environment. The sketchbook spread turned out so beautiful, makes me want to sit in a cafe and paint too!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much! Ill have more coming :) Thanks for your kind words

[@saiga347]

@willow Rose Arlen true🖤

[@SM-Artist]

That is beautiful Enjoyed it watching full Thank you for sharing 🎨🖌💕👋

[@MrsBarnabas]

A really relaxing Sketch Date, Jess! It's really good to have one of these videos again. Thank you! 😊 It's a long time since I sat in a café sketching people, but I have been sitting across the square, drawing folk at lunch in the café opposite, and in a small enclosed garden nearby this summer. It's been good fun, and, like you, making contact with strangers is part of the experience. How long were you there? How long do your sketches take?

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks so much for coming!! I took about 2 hours there with food and relaxing :) but sketches were about 15-30 min each

[@MrsBarnabas]

@@artofjesskarp Thanks. 😊

[@thexyr]

I just realised how creating makes us the main character..how people notice us because we create and how people drown in happiness on seeing our art . I feel happy about myself .thank you Jess

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you

[@Blick_Art]

Thanks for letting us tag along! A fountain pen is a great addition to any sketch kit- the line variation and sensitivity to pressure of the hand are unlike anything you can get with a fiber tipped pen. Unfortunately, some artists still think fountain pens are hard to take care of, but a piston converter (refillable ink cartridge with a plunger mechanism) makes rinsing out between colors easy (rinse only with cool water, never hot). What ink do you use in your Lamy pen, BTW?

[@archietheredcat]

I cant believe you be able to talk to stranger like that when sketches omg, my introverts ass feeling so nervous and somehow I wanna buried myself in a hole lol.. I don't have the confidence also to show my sketch and drawing to a person in real life like that, its so brave of you huhuhu, Im amazed and I feel that I wont be able to do that..when I go to cafe to work or sketches I always choose the most quiet and no person around corner because of my shyness, thank you for sharing your experience

[@artofjesskarp]

I was the same way but now I love it! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@promitakar1858]

Jess we want sketchbook tour. You haven’t posted one for so long! Date was great. Thank you 😄

[@donsdoodleart]

Hi

[@Kiptoe]

Dear Jess, you're the coolest. Thanks for taking us on a date, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute it, i love how you make your spreads and share your day in the video. Love the backpack animation intro :)

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks for coming with me :) Super happy you liked it!!

[@loriwilde3977]

What a lovely sketch.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!

[@anitapreciosa2830]

So very inspiring! It makes me want to grab my supplies and go actively profess my love for my surroundings. Thank you for this beautiful moment.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!!

[@corinablair3336]

Oh man can we get more of these? It was relaxing a educational. The spread turned out gorgeous and it was just a overall a good video.

[@artofjesskarp]

Absolutely. Thank you so much

[@pattyhall7162]

Nice painting people in places Great Job!!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!

[@melindarivera6598]

My 11 yr old son has always preferred to sketch with a pen! I didn't realize it until about 6 months ago. He was drawing in his sketchbook. When he got finished with his drawing he came to show it to me. It was, as usual, almost perfect proportions, in pen! For the first time, I realized he almost always sketches with a pen and has very few "sketch" lines. It's like he goes straight in knowing exactly where he needs to put the lines. Almost like his sketch is his inking layer.

[@artofjesskarp]

That’s incredible!! Thank you so much for sharing that! I love that :)

[@pianist8123]

Hey jess ive been following you for a while. You art is fascinating, it amazes me everytime i see it. Im on my way to become an artist like you ! Hanging out at a cafe, drawing people, drinking and eating what i want, the faboulus music at the cafe… thats what i want to do. You inspire me everyday… love you ! Greetings from Turkey!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much for your support

[@fuzzydragons]

good way to spend a few hours, creating and soaking up all the energy

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you !

[@marials9245]

All the sketches look gorgeous! There’s something about sketch books that I love ❤️

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much! Me too

[@walid7036]

Thank you for taking me with you on this wonderful date

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks for coming!!

[@sanne2145]

This was so relaxing to watch, you make drawing look so easy and with the water colors. I love it all

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you Sanne

[@yanx_artt]

Another inspiration booster from Jess! This is so so relaxing! I wanna try and paint at a location in a cafe too! 👀✨ Also waiting eagerly for PART 2 ❤️

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!!!

[@valasafantastic1055]

I used to do this in the before times. Now outside only for me. But I still bring a tiny sketchbook in my purse if I get caught in line while doing necessary shopping. I live near a park so it’s great to walk down to and sketch from life.

[@barblallier9413]

You are the best!! What joy you spread!! Thank you thank you! 😊

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!

[@Loreli45]

I love Café sketching; hope to see more!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!

[@rizzart66]

Love the latte. Have you ever watched Liz Steel? She does this type of sketching with her tea. Very loose and flowy. Text explaining where she was, etc. I just love it. I have a small kit I keepin my purse. A non water proff black pen and water brush for a quick faux watercolor feel.

[@artofjesskarp]

Oh no!! I’ll have to check her out. Thanks so much!!

[@anthonyw2931]

you're an incredible artist. ...easy to see. You're a genuinely gifted storyteller but It's all very obvious. But your superpower is your empathy. It's a rare thing in us. You instinctively are able to know what we want and that good Jess, is why I keep looking for your videos. Thank you

[@artofjesskarp]

Hi Anthony. Thank you so much. That means so much.

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

You're like the "Nahre Sol-Zenmaster" of art. I just watched Nahre Sol's latest video on "How to Sound Like Mozart". She kills it when it comes to explaining and demonstrating music composition principles. You're like that with art. My impromptu pen sketches have a lot of little cross-outs and redos, which is why I need something with an "Undo" like digital art. The last time I started sketching strangers and one of them came toward me, my only instinct was to flee the scene in order to "protect the sketchbook", another case for a digital medium and a decoy top layer with a sketch of a bus or something, until I'm "ready" for people to see what I'm working on. Great job with your highly cohesive sketch/painting, and it's cool that you incorporated both your art supplies and that barista's cute latte art. The backpack gobble thing was a lot of fun too!

[@artofjesskarp]

Oh wow!! I haven’t seen her videos yet! I will check it out. :) thanks so much for passing that along. Also thank you for your kind words.

[@Future_Rebellion]

I found your channel through KZbin's Biggest Art Collab, and I am so grateful for that. Your videos, how you challenge yourself, and how you find an answer in your struggle is so wonderful

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much- So glad you found me :) Welcome!

[@RachelleByersArt]

That avocado toast looks 🔥

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks

[@gdan9923]

Wow your page turned out amazing. I thought the guys response was really great and I love that he was genuinely interested and wanted to sit down and talk. I like to sketch people in cafes too but I’m always afraid they’ll “catch” me.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much! I agree!! People usually do but there is always a pleasant way to show them and be respectful :) Usually it ends with smiles and great connections!

[@JuIia_]

GIRLL I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE IT'S BEAUTIFUL thank you for sharing your art with us you always teach me so much thank you 💕💕
