Thank you so much!! Yes, my cat loves to be involved with any part of filming 🥹 As soon as she hears me talking she comes running!

[@user-lx3pk2kc4c]

Hello, it is very interesting to watch the process. The approach to teaching in your studio is different from where I studied. I would like to see more of how you learn to draw

[@tinafigartist]

Thank you! I will keep that in mind :)

[@Retrainapp]

Who's here from Tik Tok? 👀

Lowkey did NOT expect that response from the video but the comments are making me tear up thank you for coming over to see my video 🥹

[@karenleroux3734]

Beautiful work! You are living my dream of learning from mentors at a place like East Oaks. I’m already looking forward to part 2 and the reveal 😊

[@tinafigartist]

Thank you Karen!! If you’re ever in the Raleigh area you should stop in :)

[@karenleroux3734]

@@tinafigartist I live in Western Australia so I will just have to live vicariously through your posts😅

Inspiring ✨✨

[@tinafigartist]

Thanks Mustafa! :)

[@Planatification]

A vertical palette is genius. Can't believe I never thought of that! Beautiful painting BTW, I learned a lot from you!

[@tinafigartist]

Oh yay!! I’ve found it super helpful and way more comfortable than holding it. I love my wooden palette and could never mix on glass because of the awful feeling of metal on glass haha so this is just perfect for me!

[@hannahfox7044]

The long format video fits your work so well!! Love hearing you talk about the process!!!! ❤

[@tinafigartist]

Wait but this comment is going to ACTUALLY make me tear up thank you! Short form content always feels so rushed and this felt much more organic. I’m so glad you like it Hannah 💗

[@jdeebeauty]

Love seeing this so much. You’re just a joy and you know how much I love your work. 👏🏻❤️😘

[@tinafigartist]

Thank you Joanna!! I hope you enjoyed it :) I had so much fun making this I’m already excited to get part 2 out. Finding so much creative freedom in film making and editing! 💗

[@Swag01_lp]

A lot of people are saying that you’re talented but I’d say what’s more impressive is the hard work that was put into this. Very beautiful piece and process, don’t stop because this is definitely going somewhere.

[@tinafigartist]

Oh gosh thank you!! This is my job at the moment, and hopefully it will be for a very long time :)

[@verakace]

Beautiful painting. Did you create the little study from a photo? I would love to see your whole preparation process as a video Tina.

[@tinafigartist]

Thank you! Yes, the study was from a photo. I can talk about the process a bit more in part 2! I can also do a whole video dedicated to it, great idea :)

Welcome!! 💗

[@AngelLozz]

Hello, im here to ask for tips abouy your aesthetic change between 2021 to 2024 , what did you study to uderstand planes and color compression, and tell you that in latin america there is not painter who teach this on youtube or tiktok (im talking about the aestethic,process, academic terms, and level)im not joking, no one! ,but we are a lot of people who want to learn, if you get some friend or AI that help you to subtitle your videos it will be a great idea in your social media impact! Thanks for show us your setup and ideas

[@tinafigartist]

Hello! I would say my main reason for my aesthetic change is from my training at East Oaks Studios! They have so many workshops available online that teach exactly what I’m doing. I’m also going to be doing a workshop with them in August! More info on that to come. However, they are all in English with no captions translated if I remember correctly. I would love to find out how I can use AI to translate my captions, that’s a great idea for my next video!

[@tinafigartist]

I should add that East Oaks Studio also has free videos on KZbin you should watch!! We do monthly livestreams as well.
