The Ultimate Live Painting Experience: 100+ People!

[@GummyIsNotArtsy]

I wrote this down one day hoping you would read this so im writing it here! Hey jess! It was by a youtube recommendation that I stumbled upon your channel maybe a few months ago. I have always loved painting and drawing since I was a child but I was never consistent. Drawing maybe once or twice or thrice a month? That’s all I did. Until I stumbled upon your channel. I had been drawing much more consistently since I am a student preparing for designing. But ever since I watched your videos I really started loving art more than I ever had. Even sketching which I did not like at all became really fun to me. I am now drawing on a daily basis for at least 2/ 3 hours and enjoy every moment more than ever. And I wanted to thank you for it. Thank you Jess!

[@artofjesskarp]

Wow! That’s incredible!!! Thank you so so much for sharing I hope you enjoy. Best of luck always!

[@stephanieh.2893]

Congratulations Jess!! I'm so impressed by the way you led this expo.. speaking, painting, answer to questions.. and everything with smile and professionnalism... Congratulations again and thank you for sharing this beautiful moment ❤❤❤

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so so much!!! Thank you for watching and supporting it means the world

[@kayleenwest]

Jess you did exceptionally well! You wouldn’t know it was your first time. People don’t realise all that you have to remember and time with these things - while painting something well 😅 Not to mention what sounds like other workshop speakers in the background! Thanks for sharing so those countries away can watch also.

[@MarcNassif-tb5ib]

Im not even 1 minute in and I can tell you were so happy about this expo! I’ve see some nit picks on your insta and on the community post of James gurney. I’m so happy and inspiring artist like you got to meet other great artists and your followers! Sadly I didn’t make it cause I live about 11,000 km away😅 but I’m truly happy you experienced this! Sending hugs from Lebanon 🫶

[@artofjesskarp]

Wow amazing! Thanks!! I know some people may be so far away - that is why I wanted to put up the video so you can feel like you were there! i hope you like this video!

[@Muffy.from-Oz]

[@shwetadube7069]

Congratulations, Jess! I'm so happy for you 💜 I awfully wish i could be there

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!!! There will be more! I hope to meet you there one day!

[@madebychristie]

You are a pro at being in front of a crowd! I have been hoping and manifesting that you would host an art retreat! I will 100% be there if it's in North or South America. Santa Fe, New Mexico, Sedona Arizona or the beautiful mountains of Montana or Colorado. Anywhere in the States I'll be there. Where can I sign up to hear news about it?

[@madebychristie]

Oh, and can't go wrong with Mexico either! There are so many amazing places to host art retreats on the Pacific side.

[@Basiieee_Artist]

This experience was a blast, I felt I was there, well I'm all the way from South Africa! After ending when you told people to close eyes, that really touched me spiritually, it's a gorgeous bonus to keep people appreciated and aligned with who they are! Such a tremendous and overwhelming in positive way that really took with a surprise so beautiful! Thank you, Jess for such lessons with gouache taught me to let the painting do the process while left especially covering values, wow the question the woman raised felt like I was the one asking including others was amazing❤❤❤❤!!!

[@halnewhouser1217]

Hi Jess, Thank You for the Lightbox expo. You are the greatest artist and person I know. I love painting portraits also. I think you help many people by the way you think and the words you say. Love you.

[@GeorgetteYoung]

Great job Jess! You are my new favorite urban sketching teacher. Glad I found you! Keep up the good presentations.

[@Sandythejedi]

Awesome work Ms.Karp. I can only imagine how hard it is to do live demonstration in front of many people. So many great tips given in this presentation. Thank you so much for sharing 😁

[@cartermusic2020]

You are a force of good in the world and I love getting to witness it. Glad you had a great time, thanks for always sharing your tremendous gifts and heart with us.

[@artofjesskarp]

Wow thank you so much for you kind words 🥹

[@stevie8787]

I’m new to drawing/painting and I just discovered you like a month ago. Your videos are such an inspiration to me. I hope to learn the skills you have and implement them into my art one day. 💕 Congratulations on this milestone Jess! Great demo!

[@dilaraaksakboga]

Hi Jess! I have watched your video yesterday and can't stop thinking about it. The things you said about 'your mindset of always learning' in the art school question and 'how you never feel dread because it's a learning opportunity and a challenge' were truly inspiring. Please talk about this mindset more! It is really helpful in my art journey. I think sometimes I feel stuck on a blank page just because of the fear of not doing good and it prevents me from getting better :( This mindset you have makes a good artist whether you go to art school or not. Not just for art, for everything. Anyhow, thanks for being a huge inspiration! ❤

[@sanjidakamal5068]

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart, Jess! ❤ You have always been an inspiration. I'm just so glad to see you growing and seeing you so happy. Long way to go girl! Proud of you. Please keep smiling like this always. Millions of prayers for you. 😊

[@anasofiamoralesve]

The best being in the world!!!, I admire you very much, I admire who you are, what you do and how you do it, I admire the light that you emit and I admire all the beautiful things that you have to share with the world, I am very grateful to have come to this video, and I am also very grateful because everything you talked about, everything touched my heart, thank you Jess✨

[@anthonyw2931]

1:06.00 yup😂. wow, Jess. I thought it was movie magic, but around the middle of the demo, you could feel how captivated the audience was. You are a dancer throughout. And the best part of dancing is connecting with another human soul beyond words and expression. The best part of art is expressing beyond words. What a beautiful soul you are!

[@Hadri_ART]

You deserve this and every other expo 🎉

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much

[@Pat_The_Artist]

It was so wonderful to see you paint a portrait in as little as 45 mins. That is amazing. You are amazing and you were so confident and happy when you were speaking what came from your heart! I was wondering what brush you were using to paint that portrait. It looked as beautiful as your painting!

[@christieraper5472]

Very inspiring! Do you use different sketchbooks for different types of painting, plein air, urban sketching, more planned pieces, etc?

[@jeremymartis]

Hello Jess I was wondering how was the watercolor pencil from the last video. Adding water to watercolor pencil drawing. & how was the watercolor pencil vs watercolor paint

[@artofjesskarp]

It was definitely something to get used to and practice but it’s fun! I recommend trying a practice sketch and just getting to know the watercolor pencils before :) hope this helps! Have fun!

[@jeremymartis]

@@artofjesskarp Thanks jess, I have tried out watercolor pencils. I enjoy it. but I have never tried watercolor paint. just wanted to see how it was for you.

[@nifflerartstudio]

Hi Jess, I just wanted to say how incredibly inspiring you are to this world. With every video from you I‘m getting more and more motivated to keep doing art, to learn and grow as an artist. This demo was just amazing, you can really feel how you do everything you do with love and how you can let others feel that too. Living in Europe, I wasn’t able to visit the Lightbox Expo, but if you ever come here, I definitely want to meet you in person. I love your work and I’m wishing you a wonderful end of the year with much happiness and light - stay safe! Greetings from Germany! ❤
