Underrated artist 🔥

[@perrystalsis2209]

Howdy Friend : - Not Underrated By Her Followers On Here!. Just a bit of a crime she doesn't have 150,000 subscribers instead of 15,000??. And, if **anyone** "under-rates" her acrylic pieces/commissions in particular? = They've obviously got zero taste or appreciation of a very special talent. Cheers - wherever you are.....

I never laughed so hard at a video thumbnail before… also on a more serious note, thank you for sharing your beautiful art & for your lovely video teachings. I enjoy watching & find that we’d totally get a long like childhood friends by way of your personality & sense of humor. 🌷❣️✨😌🤗

You are so very welcome!!!

[@InkPen-f1b]

Hey Leila, I had a video suggestion thought - would you compare a piece of art you had no confidence with vs one you adored? It would be fun to get into the psychy of why we make art and perhaps the importance of reflection and viewing things differently

[@LeilaAtaya]

Very interesting idea, very nuanced as well 😊

Wow really cool material, can’t wait to try it out in class! ✍️

[@LeilaAtaya]

This stuff really sucks you in. It’s almost like everything just disappears 😄

[@china100]

Wow, that's cool. I have never heard of this stuff before!

[@LeilaAtaya]

I was surprised I haven’t either even thought it’s not a new product

[@Tremmor500]

I can see this being useful for a Stephen Gammell style

[@LeilaAtaya]

Absolutely!!

Hey Leila : - A Real "Curve-Ball" Subject/Material This Upload??!...... And, you sound a bit like a kid with a brand new toy = Legit Excited (nice to see + hear!!). This reminds me of 2 things straight away - one of 'em from my hedonistic "rock + roll" past in the 90's. Good luck taking it through airport customs, as - It looks just like Pakistani Hashish !..... the same soft and mushy texture, and exactly the same colour. Obviously, the smell of it would luckily put Mr./Mrs. customs officer at ease (!!). And, I make a custom-mixed lubricant for tuning air rifles - a putty, not a grease - by mixing a very fine mineral powder very similar to graphite called molybdenum, with a small amount of already black "standard" grease : - Like you wisely did = If you handle it without gloves on, it's just a total disaster..... It gets in your pores and under nails, and you look like a right tramp for about a week - however much you wash your hands!!!. Both are harmless, but - just blacker than black (Lamp Black, Mars Black etc. etc.). It's Just Lovely To See A Very Experienced Artist Having Genuine Fun. Indeed as you said, your scope for unique and "one off" patterns and shapes is literally endless. Cool Stuff. Thanks as always Chuck - Great to have you on The 'Tube...... Nick x

[@LeilaAtaya]

Haha yes ‘rock and roll’ that’s a really good way to describe this material 😆 I didn’t really know what to expect from this and got it because it looked interesting and was on special 😊 the messiness of it is not the best thing but it does seem to wash out quite well. Most art materials are messy so I guess I’m used to it now. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@hty624]

Wow, a graphite sausage! I tried the liquid charcoal a number of years ago but it was super $$ This seems like it would go a long way

[@LeilaAtaya]

I have a feeling that if you work on super large sketches you might go through it but if you are working on A3 side drawings it will last for a long time.

[@hty624]

@@LeilaAtaya Yeah a4/a3 mostly, seems like so much scope for organic texture like you did with the rocks, almost feel like it could work in the same way a base layer would for painting then you can be more refined on top

[@LeilaAtaya]

@@hty624 it would work very well for that. You could even paint over it.

wow! Crazy cool Leila! Gotta be honest that graphite putty looks like a cat turd! Love your stuff as always,..
