Love your sketchbook tours! I was playing around with loose faces today. That square sketchbook looks amazing. 😊

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

I love painting loose wonky faces! Thanks for watching 💕

Hi linda! great video - lots of inspiration , lovely to see what you've been up too and some older work too

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

Hi Sonia, thanks for watching! I’m so glad you found it inspiring. I enjoyed your recent video too. Hope the kids are enjoying the new school year.

[@akschauer]

I love the variety shown in your sketchbooks, Your faces are wonderful. I'm still a bit afraid of drawing faces - I'm sure I'd get over it if I just started.

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

Thank you! They get much easier with practice because there is a formula for spacing features that helps guide you.

[@HighPriestess-x2e]

Love your work, Linda. AND your videos!!! Thank you!!!

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

Thanks so much, Kathy! It really makes me so happy when people tell me they enjoy my videos. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏💕

[@PunjabiHumanitarian]

You have an amazing style especially with the portraits ❤❤ Also 4:15 made my heart so happy 😊 Those are alphabets or ABCs of the Punjabi language, which originate from Gurumukhi. Gurumukhi is the language of the 10 Sikh Gurus/Deities, rarely practiced anymore but found in the Sikh bible. Just in case you were curious 😊 ❤

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

Oh thank you so much for sharing that info with me. I remember painting that alphabet after I went to some Sikh music events. Such a beautiful language! 🙏💕

[@PunjabiHumanitarian]

@@BeginnersMind-ArtMind Gladly😊 And Thank YOU for blessing us with your wonderful work ❤️

[@aimeerelf3673]

Beautiful work Linda. The art you produced in the oldest sketchbook with Misty Morn is so amazing. You are very talented!!! xx

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

Thank you! I really enjoyed creating it at the time. I seem to be more attracted to more expressive work these days. 💕

[@susiemejia7917]

I love your videos. I also enjoy your art. I was missing a quick puppy fix.

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

Did you see the picture of the pups at the very end? Nobody has mentioned it yet so I’m not sure if anybody saw it or not lol 🐶💕

[@susiemejia7917]

@@BeginnersMind-ArtMind I saw how new pup was now in sketchbook. I thought I watched till the end sorry if I didn’t.

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

@@susiemejia7917 oh that’s right I forgot the little painting with Alana in it. No worries at all about not making it to the end. I just put the photo at the end of the video as sort of a treat for anyone that made it that far lol

These are ver exciting.... thx. Are you ok? You were in the hospital? Or wrong artist?

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

I’m so glad you found the video inspiring! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I have a mast cell disease that causes complications sometimes. It’s a bit of a roller coaster ride lol 💕

[@pennysmith3803]

Which course was it that you did xx

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

I’ve taken all of Misty Mawn’s classes over the years.

[@pennysmith3803]

@@BeginnersMind-ArtMind which was your favourite?

[@pennysmith3803]

I’m so inspired by your work I’m thinking of doing one

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

@@pennysmith3803 oh gosh, I really don’t remember. Most of them I took many years ago. I really think I enjoyed all of them because they’re not necessarily classes that “teach” you how to paint they just inspire you to paint in your own style.

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

@@pennysmith3803 just as a heads up my painting style is very different from Misty’s style. She paints very loose compared to me.
