studio makeover ♢ new furniture, reorganization

[@artbymofla]

I always feel so scared to do anything other than realistic art -specially on canvas~I like it but I always feel like I’m “wasting” the supplies and the canvas by not making on it a renaissance realistic masterpiece. Your videos help me so much to breach out of that thought and pop the bubble I’m in and making art I enjoy looking at and making, and not only what art school mostly teaches us!

[@beanii]

am i the only one who's dying at james going "you think im ugly" 😭😆

[@anouschkafabre]

Loved iiiit and about the travel vlog - edit whatever brings you joy, I dont care what it is, will watch it eitherway ✨

[@LeighEllexson]

You're the best!

[@DatFoootanaryBaby]

There are definitely certain creators I’d watch them watch paint dry for 30 minutes and Leigh is def one of them 🙌

[@ricardofelipelo]

@@LeighEllexson same here! and if you worry about not having art inside a vlog, first of all it is fine, but also you could always do a tiny painting or sketch based on the travel footage I think!

[@katalvarez3788]

This was my first video of yours, I absolutely LOVE your energy! Never stop creating, your art brings a lot of joy to this world.

[@feliciafelder7393]

Your bird sketch in the new sketch book. I am in love with! I need it in my house on a wall!

[@bhavytachauhan9416]

I totally agree, lavender is the best kind of purple.

[@alisondodge3809]

really do like the sunflowers also. samesies on practical magic, the aunts are the best.

[@blackbearjam]

Please please please paint more ponds and lakes! ❤ love the studio update 💚

[@cubcakecreations]

Your username is so cute!❤

[@noovernightguests]

Amazing how a couple of changes makes such a big impact on your space. Love it! And I agree the wood adds warmth AND fits in with the industrial details.

[@ricardofelipelo]

that lil sunflower painting is gorgeous! and that panel landscape. I wish I could see you compete in landscape artist of the year in the UK one day. Id bet on you

[@LeighEllexson]

this is big

[@leslieturner1385]

I've never seen Practical magic, but now I MUST. Thank you for taking us through the studio revamp and the little painting at the end. I love these videos from you.

[@LeighEllexson]

it has all the perfect summer into fall vibes you could ever dream of

[@Armadillosnack]

Yay another vlog came up of yours! I lovee itttt! Planning on painting today, so this gave some more inspiration, love what you did there with the shelvesss😍😍😍😍

[@dryeyesblueskies]

That mountain painting was so dreamy 🌌

[@bmichele6397]

Your studio makeovers are so inspiring! Heading to clean mine up now! Thanks!!! 💚

[@alileach5513]

Okay Leigh picking the most wholesome peaceful moving video game-esque music 24:20

[@cypresswilde]

That bird spread is everything to me

[@maxonrylee]

Love your studio, love your work, your vids, your pod✨ all of the goods.

[@jennabailey6823]

Iiiiiii actually do enjoy hand held footage it's like yay we're going on a trip! Also the music during your painting was so beautiful it made me emotional like I was watching Inside Out

[@jessiebeilharz1799]

That mountain and water painting is so much better than that tree. The tree was good but the purply mountain looks gorgeous and calming.

[@LeighEllexson]

agreed big time

[@Brockohliflower]

LOVED this video. The tour/changearound was so entertaining and that art session at the end was really beautiful - artwise and the atmosphere of the video. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@lorenbryand]

Love that purple paint that adorns your shelves!

[@deborahmeyers551]

The wave 🤭❤ lovely sketch in your sketchbook

[@RachelAnastasiaFurman]

i have used the same sketchbooks for forever, love them

[@paradoxtoad8074]

Love the sticker on your new sketch book

[@leenabowman9716]

Oh my gosh I also just rewatched practical magic and when I saw her do that wave I immediately thought of all your different waves

[@sincerelyceline]

Your studio makeovers are so nostalgic 🥹just because I watched your home reno, and studio makeovers over and over during the panini since it gave me a sense of calm ❤️forever grateful to you, your lovely channel, awesome vibes and gorgeous art🫶💕 tissess

[@BubbleInThePond]

I am in love with the lilac mountain scene 💜💜💜 Please make it a print!!!

[@Quantum.Jungle]

Garmins do track periods! Idk why it isn’t on your watch but I track mine my garmin app and then in syncs to your watch. It’ll tell you what day you’re on in your cycle when you go into the menu and choose Menstrual Tracker but you have to add it as a menu option in the app and then sync your watch again. Hope this is helpful!

[@korellcreations]

Your studio space is beautiful! UGGGHHH ❤ Just found your channel today.

[@trixietrog]

Hi a FITBIT WATCH TRACKS PERIODS! LOVE & HUGS ❤❤❤❤

[@OneDayArt]

I track my period, heart rate, sleep, and exercise with fitbit. They also have quite a few styles in different sizes. I use the inspire 3 its skinny so it doesnt bug me when i sleep (not an ad lol)

[@TeriyakiDior]

your videos always soothes me, sometimes at the right times when i really need it 🥹😭🤍✋🏼✊🏼✋🏼 me trying to do your wave 😅

[@ArtfulShelley]

Must be the algorithm, I literally saw PM on the suggested videos, but it was before I chose yours. So I clicked on Practical Magic in a new tab to watch later, because it's been on my mind. My jaw dropped when you mentioned it. And, Sandra Bullock is my age, born around a month before me. Love her. Love that movie! Woohoo! Also, I have used a cute piece of fabric attached to shelves to hide hideous things. Adds some quaintness or cuteness. Partial to florals and stripse.

[@qwer981]

I'm proud of not many things. but I'm proud to find you in 2020? I guess. that was mind-blowing moment. the art, friendships, your thoughts, etc... sometimes, I just NEED to see,feel, and be connected with all of these. thank you,you're a wonderful human being p.s a long time ago, James liked my pic(clown James always), and this was really nice. thank you,James,too

[@najualb]

Feels crazy to know the origin of the wave…. Yay!

[@Chandra-x2i5o]

Sweet comment: Life looks so good on you. Keep that up!!

[@nautosual]

Thank you for this video! ❤❤❤ i’m a huge fan 🥺

[@dianaquoi]

oh i think we have the same sony camera. i find that it does "prefer" to focus on human subjects, so i usually tap the screen or move the screen "cursor" area to make it focus. if you're having trouble with the focus for some shots, you can always turn it off. for some lenses, there's a switch on the side of the lens that says AF (autofocus) or M (manual). tap or turn the lens to focus on your subject, then flip the switch to manual to force it to stay put. you can adjust it in Manual by simply turning the lens. for lenses without the switch, i tap the screen to autofocus on a point. then go to menu > AF1 section > Focus Mode > Manual. this will turn off the autofocus and should stay wherever you picked. you can turn the lens to adjust the focall point after like the other mode.

[@viviennart]

I have the  watch and it's really comfortable to sleep in. It's like it's not even there. I use it as an alarm on weekdays.

[@elliewolf5038]

Returning back to your channel and it is very much what i needed to help get me out of my creative fog!!

[@veronashakespeare124]

What a beautiful studio giiiirl

[@kaigieson]

I've been WAITIN for this one!!

[@anamarilla.art.rtrtrt]

hey Leigh, I really loved this vlog. about your flat thing situation, I think you should remove the back part of the drawer and just stick it a bit further, as I believe it has space enough to adapt the length. Also, I had a pilea plant suffering and I just changed the place and she started growing a lot!

[@fuzzydragons]

Practical Magic is just one of those movies you watch just to feel happy (and dance to The Coconut Song 😀😛)

[@kiki_havoc]

love the video drop timing and now need to go watch Practical Magic 🧙‍♀🙋‍♀

[@dracarrotula4946]

Change of pace but fun nonetheless :) loved the music and I love that the shelves are purple!

[@mickeeva]

loved every minute of it 😍 also the new lavender sketchbook color is soo cute! all my sketchbooks are black and i think i need to change my ways ✏

[@nerinetterivera9133]

Truly enjoyed the video 💐💐💐💐

[@alexaplayyy]

I love your studio

[@Krystal-leeCooper]

Your "old/never use" supplies in the cute lunchbox thingy...you could make a zine and use them all up :) peeps love zines xx

[@marisamlee]

I like the pile of books!

[@megmaxino]

MUCH LOVE, STANDING OVATION! UNTIL NEXT TIME, LEIGH

[@haislamarcelino]

yes for the Montana video!!

[@emmelinesprig489]

so pretty ✨

[@hejstephanie]

I like this blog, as usual 😅❤

[@doodleacademy]

love it...thank you for sharing 💛

[@meghan369]

Oh my god you found a WOODEN FLAT FILE?! (I feel like you could customize a couple of the drawers to fit your larger prints)

[@LeighEllexson]

That's a great idea!

[@lisathemessenger7973]

Can you talk about your art process, materials and choice of references please?

[@bajaboolie]

Glue those first two skipped sketchbook pages together. That would be satisfying

[@LeighEllexson]

great idea. let's get rid of them!!!

[@jojokaleido]

that hand wave 😆

[@djsadbean]

watched this while i did my first little lego set evarrrr 🥰 loved it as always

[@Natalie.Trinidad]

Love watching your studio vlogs! How do find the right colors to use or match that are different from the original photos? I struggle with picking the right colors sometimes!

[@magicksecrets]

Don't boskiz this feelings I'm I right guys?! Your video kinda made me look around my art/work corner, I guess I want more my works to be visible and reminding me of things I made

[@jaimeo2312]

I look forward to your travel video!

[@sophiailona]

love love loveee

[@keulistal]

If you're considering the OURA ring, let me suggest the ultrahuman ring - it works pretty much the same but the ring price is a bit cheaper AND it doesn't hide most of its tracking features behind a subscription paywall after you've just bought a 500$ ring 🙃

[@sandylupton6312]

Dammit. Now I want to redo my studio too. 😊

[@jennathompson5179]

Studio so good! Where are your black and red skirts from? They are perfect!

[@LeighEllexson]

they're cotton skorts from LA apparel. they're the best.

[@LadyDee-m1b]

Just showing up here as a pro voter for the Montana video at hand ✨🌄🏔️✅✨

[@meghan369]

PRACTICAL MAGIC IS BEST MOVIE: EVER

[@LeighEllexson]

preach

[@laraleblanc3699]

Where is your red skirt from?? So cute

[@LeighEllexson]

it's a skort from LA apparel!

[@flisssaysno3310]

don’t get the oura ring!! get the ultrahuman ring!! does more stuff and doesn’t have the subscription :)

[@blondeamazondesign]

Where are your cute skorts from??

[@LeighEllexson]

LA apparel :)

[@PotchouDoodle]

Oh oh I was planning on working with youtube in the background and your video appears on the first page ... I'll work in 30 minutes I guess

[@flossyarts]

I JUST watched Practical Magic for the first time and the way Sandra bullock waved took me out, that's so funny 😅 I love the spread you did in the new sketchbook, is that a quail? Also, personally I'd love to see a Montana travel vlog! But I love all of your videos lol

[@LeighEllexson]

i'm not sure, i used a reference of a bird figurine for it!

[@sarahthequeen1]

Your “flat file” is a Hamilton Wood Type (Letterpress) Case. That’s why all your prints don’t fit. I wish they told you the dimensions.

[@LeighEllexson]

ditto!

[@xXNekou]

I think you have more and more tattoos every video I watch, so... maybe a tattoo tour?! :3

[@lifelavie13]

6:26 could you let me know this shelves name and brand?

[@FloralFidelity]

pls pls pls montana travel vid pls

[@caitlinbrookes2975]

Thanks for mentioning the sticker/postcard tier. I was just wondering about postage because I am in Canada and all of the American sellers on Etsy have their shipping charges at $20+ for a sticker. Do you have an estimate on what you charge? Thanks!

[@LeighEllexson]

yeah! i'm charging the cost of an international stamp + my envelope. which is $2 USD. there is not tracking because it is letter mail :)

[@caitlinbrookes2975]

@@LeighEllexson Thanks for replying! That sound great.

[@hadley8]

where are those cute lil skirts you are wearing from? they are adorable

[@LeighEllexson]

they're skorts from LA apparel!

[@emelyandtheuke]

Can you pretty please link your paint toolbox? I want something like that but can't for the life of me find something that's not cheap plastic or massive metal toolbox

[@LeighEllexson]

I got it at a thrift store and/antique mall! SORRY!

Don't hate me, I'm not even 2 mins into your vid but I'm imagining some dramatic reveal like a crib. I want to skip ahead and yet I also want to exit because I don't want to know. aaaaaahhhh the suspense.

[@Chandra-x2i5o]

Okay, well it kind of is a crib.
