WOW!!!!! That last one with the whale is honestly AMAZING!! Your work is always really good, but this one is my favorite by you so far I think! You should totally make it on a canvas and hang it on the wall, or even sell it! The colors, the difference in depth depending on perception, the flow, it's all spectacular!

[@melanie990]

I would love to see more dream type art from you, you're very talented especially at fantasy!

[@katbland9149]

Yes!! I agree!! That last one was AMAZING!! 😍😍 I could look at it all day for sure!

[@ChristyH-B]

They're all good but that last one with the sky whale is incredible!

I really love this one. When I paint or draw I have to have a reference and I am so amazed how you just see and do it.

I just took several of your skill share classes. Nice work! Loved them. And that last spread is stunning!

Gorgeous~ The red telephone with the text around it reminds me of ESPO^^ Big fan! I love gouache~

I have always liked your style, and I think you are a talented artist. I was really excited about the under water scene when I saw you sketching it so seemingly effortlessly, (I realize it was sped up, but your talent makes it look effortless). I was looking forward to seeing all the pretty colors you would paint the corals, and the details you would add to make each coral stand apart from an array of brightly colored fish. Then you simply painted each level one color, adding no details, shading, or highlights to bring the sketch to life, it was such a let down. But then you redeemed yourself with that beautiful strawberry painting. No, it wasn't perfect, but the combination of colors you chose (one of your forte's I think) and the style (another of your forte's ), that you painted the strawberries in was absolutely beautiful. The colors and the style of your strawberry painting reminded me of the old art nouveau tiles made by Louis Comfort Tiffany over one hundred years ago. Tiffany would use the same vibrant and deep background colors for his beautiful stained glass windows, lamps, and tiles. I was instantly reminded why I love to watch your videos. I also really liked your illustration style telephone painting; but the 'Pièce de résistance', was the beautiful accordion landscape painting you did. I believe you are correct in stating that you have begun to develop "your own style". The style you used in the landscape painting with all the swirls in the sky, reminds me of Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai's famous woodblock print 'Under the Wave off Kanagawa' also commonly known as 'The Great Wave'. I am sure you are familiar with it, it is one of the most famous pieces of art in the world. But your other forte' that I mentioned above, that of choosing vibrant color combinations really shines forth in your landscape painting as well. I was especially enamored of the flawless ombre' effect you created on the mountain. You really have a talent for choosing beautiful color combinations and then using them to great effect within the painting. I can only imagine how beautiful that underwater landscape would have been if you had applied the same time and techniques, and maybe if you had tried it on better quality paper. Hopefully one day you will paint another underwater landscape full of corals and sea animals painted in one of your beautiful vibrant color combinations and in your signature style. An accordion style sketchbook would be perfect for painting an underwater landscape. I'll definitely be waiting to see the video of that painting!

I really love the landscape the painting the colors you chose are so beautiful together and I love your painting style 👍

[@ArtWorkOfDR]

Yes gouache takes time to find what works for u, I know it took me some time to remember that the drying shift was what seemed to take me some time to remember

[@jessicameisner8487]

I really enjoyed your video this week, especially the strawberry 🍓 painting and the accordion painting. I can tell you enjoyed yourself and took just the right amount of time to complete the projects you had in mind. Nice job!

[@mrsf6278]

Excellent

[@louisebourne5779]

Fantastic 💗

[@kimberleebrooks-trakis9563]

Love this

[@dianeo]

I really enjoy videos like this. Thank you! Lovely images. That accordion spread is epic! I have SO many sketchbooks that are unfinished (why is that a thing with most artists?!) and this will help.

[@enasasker1514]

Thanks you make it easy and fun 🌺

[@brittamai5367]

Those are so beautiful results! 🥰

[@elliec9100]

That is so awesome! Love that so much.

[@FrogMag]

What a creative work ! as always. You're really a big source of inspiration for me. To paint great things with easy ideas

[@katbland9149]

Beautiful!! These all are so gorgeous, i love your art so much and I love watching you turn a blank page into a work of art. It's magical ✨️ 😍 I really liked the red phone! It looked like so much fun to paint. :) I've been really enjoying Tayor Swifts new album too. I was such a hater of hers for so long, up until 2020 when she released Folklore and Evermore. Those two albums spoke to me on another level! I am now a Swiftie 😆😆 she got me. Lol I even streamed this new album on the day it was released 😅 I definitely listened from start to finish in one sitting too. 😅 😄

[@Amystudio]

Lol I think I’m your lost twin because I never liked Taylor Swift until Evermore, those 2 albums converted me 😆 I can listen to them over and over. Although I’m still not a fan of the stuff before then but this new album I even pre-ordered the vinyl without even knowing if it was going to be my thing or not lol my husband teases me and calls me a Swiftie 😂🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

[@emmasheppard2639]

My art always seems to have an uglystage. These are really pretty as

[@kineiya]

Hi I like your channel and art work. I have been told that you can only use Gouache from the tube's and don't use dried Gouache because the Gouache isn't good to use. It's bad. What is your opinion on this? I see you use dry Gouache too. Thank you

[@christinesharland8478]

Love these ideas.. but why rush to finish a sketch book... Enjoy each page. Youll only have to buy a new one. Ha.

[@VisualMind]

Then don't rush yours
