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!

[@blackbearjam]

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

[@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!

[@alisondodge3809]

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

[@bhavytachauhan9416]

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

[@dryeyesblueskies]

That mountain painting was so dreamy 🌌

[@feliciafelder7393]

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

[@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

[@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

[@lorenbryand]

Love that purple paint that adorns your shelves!

[@cypresswilde]

That bird spread is everything to me

[@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😍😍😍😍

[@TeriyakiDior]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@bmichele6397]

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

[@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

[@nautosual]

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

[@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 ✏

[@paradoxtoad8074]

Love the sticker on your new sketch book

[@kiki_havoc]

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

[@kaigieson]

I've been WAITIN for this one!!

[@BubbleInThePond]

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

[@veronashakespeare124]

What a beautiful studio giiiirl

[@deborahmeyers551]

The wave 🤭❤ lovely sketch in your sketchbook

[@megmaxino]

MUCH LOVE, STANDING OVATION! UNTIL NEXT TIME, LEIGH

[@flisssaysno3310]

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

[@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.

[@djsadbean]

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

[@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!

[@Chandra-x2i5o]

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

[@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

[@doodleacademy]

love it...thank you for sharing 💛

[@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 🙃

[@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)

[@jaimeo2312]

I look forward to your travel video!

[@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.

[@haislamarcelino]

yes for the Montana video!!

[@nerinetterivera9133]

Truly enjoyed the video 💐💐💐💐

[@hejstephanie]

I like this blog, as usual 😅❤

[@bajaboolie]

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

[@meghan369]

PRACTICAL MAGIC IS BEST MOVIE: EVER

[@LeighEllexson]

preach

[@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.

[@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!

[@lisathemessenger7973]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@hadleyhudson8631]

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

[@LeighEllexson]

they're skorts from LA apparel!

[@LeighEllexson]

amazing! and sickening!

[@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

[@laraleblanc3699]

Where is your red skirt from?? So cute

[@Chandra-x2i5o]

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.
