The one thing that dramatically improves my art | calming days in my studio

Hi guys! I think not many artists talk about this but this really helped me improve my artistic skills throughout the years. It's very important to learn and practice not only in making art. This might also have a huge impact on how we deal things in real life.
The one thing that dramatically improves my art.

Hi guys! I hope you enjoyed the video. Which version of the painting do you prefer? 🙂 Thanks for being here! 💕

[@scottishwifie14]

Fantastic painting I love the landscape as well as the portrait it works well together it’s as if she is reading the book and imagining that she is in the landscape in the background.

[@jessicaangelesart]

That’s exactly what I thought about when I finished the painting 🥰 thank you so much for watching! Glad you like it 💕

[@bottlebrushart]

I loved watching your video! It was cool to see how you painted using spring and a thrift store book as inspiration. It was interesting to hear about your painting process, especially how you practised drawing realistic hands and portraits. Your advice about taking your time and not rushing is super helpful, not just for painting but for life too. And simplifying the background to focus on the main subject was a smart move! Thanks for sharing your painting journey with us. Can't wait to see what you create next! 🎨✨

I love that I'm discovering all these painters on KZbin who do classical-style art. Feels so rare these days, something nice and different. This painting gives me Jane Austen vibes. I'm thinking of 'Emma' for some reason! Great video!
