Sterling, this is the second time I watch your video, and it brought me to happy tears again! I find such beauty and such deep joy in your piece. It’s as if you breathe life into your giraffe with the perfect and realistic details you applied to your study of this amazing animal. Thank you for sharing your experience. You are so inspiring. Keep it going.

This is one of the kindest compliments/comments I have ever received. Thank you so much for watching and joining me while I paint. It means the world to me! Truly!

Wow. You outdid yourself! He has the cutest combination of goofy/sweet expression on his face! My son is tall (6'5"), so the giraffe is sort of his spirit animal. I would LOVE to do something like this for him someday. Thanks for sharing!

[@sterlingmarkum]

Spirit animal is a giraffe! 🤣 I love that. Thank you so much for the kid words. I have painted many things since this guy but I just keep forgetting to hit record!

[@angiemaj5205]

Wow that is awesome. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous! The giraffe and Rabbit (whom I just almost called Bunny) both are wonderful and you totally did justice to the giraffes beauty and their biiig eyes. Btw: if you didn't know, look up the giraffes sound on Wikipedia, this is so beautiful and melodic!

[@sterlingmarkum]

[@Shaimaa-ArtStudio]

Beautiful watercolor!

[@sterlingmarkum]

Thank you so much!

[@alleycat207]

Where did you go? I enjoyed watching you paint so much!

[@sterlingmarkum]

I am so sorry! I really appreciate you remembering I exist! I know it has been far too long! I have a video almost completed. I will say that I am much more active on Instagram than I am here just because of the time it takes to edit and voice over. I also started work towards offering prints on my etsy and everything combined has led me to being a silly amount of busy. I will try and focus on content here soon! Thank you again!

AMAZING......I LOVE IT.......ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

[@kathryncoleman7945]

I love your beautiful giraffe, such beautiful work. I’ll have to give this a try as the giraffe is my favourite animal too. I’m a beginner at all things art and I get frustrated at myself for mucking my projects up. Kind regards Kathryn. Australia 🇦🇺

Awesome.

[@sterlingmarkum]

Marvellous painting - Hope I can do it justice.

[@tasneemalias]

Can i know the number of the brush you use to paint this. Thankyou in advance ❤

[@sterlingmarkum]

I believe I used the #6 Silver Black Velvet brush for most of this painting. I hope this helps!

[@ArchanaSMohan]

Really amazing video madam..please make more videos .

[@sterlingmarkum]

Thank you so much! I will have to try and record more. I am slogging my way through life working towards more videos❤

[@BluJean55]

I really liked what you said about holding off with painting something until your skill level improved and putting the possibility of being able to paint it on a pedestal. I do the same thing. And doing so I miss out on taking chances which does nothing to improve my skills. Also I like how you stressed how important it is to put in the time for painting. Thank you! 👍

[@sterlingmarkum]

I am so glad you liked my unorganized rambling haha! I still find myself being guilty of this. Not wanting to fail, so never trying is definitely my Achilles heel. I hope you are able to push past it more than I do!

[@BluJean55]

@@sterlingmarkum your Giraffe turned out amazing, btw!! Thank you for your ramblings 😂 They really hit home for me and have helped immensely! 👍💕

[@NYtalk60]

You should look up Jennifer Littleton watercolorist. She has won awards for her giraffe watercolor paintings!

[@sterlingmarkum]

I will definitely have to look her up then!

[@peggymarcus9183]

is there a traceable for the giraffe?

[@sterlingmarkum]

There is not a traceable for the giraffe but that would be such a fun thing to offer if I open a website!
