I think that your painting is going so well so far. I really have enjoyed watching your videos. Please keep going.

This is awesome !

Gorgeous work, can't wait for next week

Great documentary of your painting, looking forward to to next episode

The painting series is coming out so good I love it

What sketchbook do you use or recommend for soft pastel? I find they get everywhere and some are hard to stick to paper. Any with good grit?

Loving your journey. Looking forward the the next videos, thank you!

Gorgeous, and thank you for your talent and candor. It’s very refreshing.

Omg, you painting so good/beautifully, and also so cool to notice that you put it into action the techniques that you practice in the other videos

Great video 💛💛💛

I've never met a painting yet that wasn't a struggle. This came out gorgeous 🔥 And I also appreciate your cat singing the song of its people in the background, give him/her pets for me 🥰

Playing with cat is not on your checklist. If you make your own canvases an electric staple gun is a must. Never paint when you’re tired.

I just found your channel, looking forward to seeing more work from you! Looks great

Actually, to me the one with the blue background is more appealing. I like it way more than the other one. It's just different and special. It has more tention and intersts me more. To me a painting does not have to be "correct" regarding value, shadows and all that stuff. It's the effect it has on me that counts. Thanks for the video, anyway! Well done!

Thanks so much for this great video. I will start doing those exercises. It's quite a lot, but well worth the effort.

Immaculate ✨ I haven't been able to watch your videos because I've been very busy with school but as always I love your videos 💛💛💛

Where do you get ref photos ?

The fumes from burning are going to be toxic (depending upon the pigment used). If you're after the blistered texture look you might try an electrical heat (paint stripping) gun.

Do you step back often to an overall sense for the color arrangement?

If you're painting regularly, just dip your brushes in "brush dip" (safflower and clove oil) at the end of the day. Wrap your brushes in a paper towel and set aside. Your brushes will be supple and need very little work to get ready for your next painting session. Good for a week.

Where do you get your canvas frames?

Congratulations! Tremendous good/knowledgeable artist/teacher and spontaneous presenter!! Thnx for teaching videos.

Good theme for a video. In my opinion the 2 options falls in the same category (no previous drawing), hence the fact that you did not actuality draw the face with pencil, or charcoal prior the paint application on canvas.

You get It, geez, we having the same thoughts "I don't want to Paint, I don't want to think about painting" In those days i also with this thing that I don't feel like painting/training, and just the simple thought of doing bores me(y'know I the same person from the color theory video😅, yeah, I still pretty much training it, but i like to change subjects thru months, and now i training more colors on human proportions such as Head, arm, feet, etc), In this year i really dedicating my whole art/creativity side with these trainings cuz i tired of feeling my technique is inferior compared to others and feeling like i'll never express my ideas the way I visualize them, I want to envolve, ugh, but june I almost trained nothing(the pride month wasnt much of mine month💦), because idk for some reason i just feel I don't want to and is for the same unmotivate thoughts as you "Not being able to portray those ideas as best as I can or could", "i'm just afraid to execute poorly" I will share a bit of mine journey/motivation for doing this trainings, but it may sound silly💦, it's all because i liked a character from a game(a woman character), and she was and is so important to me now, because thanks to her i healed a trauma that i had with another media/character that I really liked too, it's so silly, but i even get little emoticional when i say that💧, cuz it was a trauma/depression that lasted for so long, almost 4 years, and thanks to her i healing little by little, thanks to her i learning to enjoy things again, it sounds so crazy, well, i would love to draw her, i have my own style but i want to draw her as exactly as she look like(the game style), and the game where she belongs has a lot of those textures/painting vibe, so here's come the color theory training(that's why i saw your video😂) But she's not basic woman character(she's kinda guyish but not in a butch or lesbian way(nothing against those)), it's just, she is not that, she's such a incredible balance that amazes me, she's very strong, but she's so cute too, she's very masculine, her mannerism is very masculine, her muscles are very specific, her vibe is very specific, and i want to draw and portray that well!, cuz sometimes has some people that draw her but do it so poorly, takes away her badaness, take away her guyish vibe and makes me so mad!!(I try very hard to avoid seeing those arts cuz i may die from disgust), and the public buy that, I want to....honor her somehow, but it gives kinda of pressure because the fact i really like her makes it difficult to me to fail with her cuz i have afraid of "not being able to portray as best i can or could", and this is both visually and vibe, so i have afraid of trying cuz when i feel I failed somehow i feel like a loser, and I think this fear comes because in the past i do failed sometimes(not with her but with other things that I draw) i hate some of mine older ideas, because i dont like the things that I invented, I don't like the way i portrayed the chatacters, etc, i don't want to be like that anymore, and i not like that anymore, but that shame gets stuck on me, cuz i be like "why you drew that in that way?" "How could you do that?", I don't want to be like that again, i try to bear with myself with the past is in the past, thats not you, i changing, what matters is me from now i portray things differently now, and that's it "my work is not going get anywhere" that line hits me so much, cuz as you can see, i doing all of this trainings and reseach because of THIS, but usually mine art don't get much attetion and admiration, and okay, okay,.....but those poorly execute things of her that i said DO GET💢🔥, and it's by more people,...(Sigh) Even The game site(thank god it's not even the worse, and it was just ONE art and i know the ones that run those profiles are not the ones that develop the game, so i try to don't take personally), but still, sometimes i be like "if i doing all of this for nothing?" " Why you working so hard for a thing that not even notices you?" "Nobody will Care", it's very unrealistic and crazy thoughts, but i sometimes think like that, and makes me sad This character is mine big challenge now, i actually kinda doing great tbh, the trainings are really helping, i see the diference and it's not that's it's hard drawing the trainings, but for now i'm in a state where i don't feel motivated to...draw For you questions Where do you struggle to find inspiration/motivation? When i'm with all of these thoughts that I mention It😅, mostly when i dissapointed with myself, feel like i can't get it done right, both creativity or real life chores/responsibility, in a nutshell in an anxious state Where do you turn for ideas?/where do you turn for inspiration? The examples you gave are so great, and i agree we being lazy when we think about inspiration, inspiration is in every thing, but i feel my inspirations comes a lot from talks/fun talks, i love joke around with my sister and share our ideas with each other(she is my identical twin sister so shes also very creativy, we share same braincells😂), i get a lot inspiration from the things i used to see/like as a kid, this year me and my sister are replaying our childhood videogames and it's being so healing cuz i noticing things i like and want to transmit/include in my art, my sister is kinda my inspiration too, she is also doing some training and its for the same reason as i(the woman character), and she is doing so great(trust me her trainings/drawings are amazing), she is working so hard, she drawing almost every day, see her working hard makes me want to work hard too, but i so tired...for some reason What said in your brain Said "enough", I need to get this done? What i think or try to think to get me out of this state, its that "Ana, you can create something wonderful, that will make you so happy, and will be amazing, in the end everything works out, it always work out, it's worth keep going", i try to punch my brain with this positive thinking to make me finally try to train I like those reflection talks, cuz i feel sometimes artist don't talk much about that, cuz of this internet mask/pressure, of always looking prefessional, only being positive, it shows more a human and real part of us artists After all of this you must think "god, this person needs therapy"I know, I know💦 The first time i saw this video i was lying on my bed, trying to medidate too, and laughing with your comments and being like "yeah, yeah, i feeling that😅" I probably in this state because of some life chores reasons too, my sleep schedule is sucked, i in college so has a lot of pressure on doing things at the time(its a online college, so it all depends on me, i need to plan and watch the classes and get things done), my relantionship with my parents is a little...complicated sometimes, i'm bit bored, the house is a mess i feel like i not helping much, anxiety

It's wonderful 🎨🖌️😶‍🌫️♥️

Crazy

Why did you do the "fixing"? I loved it. It is so raw and "ugly" in the most true and honest way.

I agree These geniuses say don’t blend but then they say the best painter was Leonardo, who blended. Do what you want but if you only listen to experts and their rules you will never make anything new

I am currently in a huge art black myself... Sadness, frustration, loss, and lack of confidence have all compiled into my mind... and has taken my creativity and skills away. I am glad to watch your video and give me some hope I will paint again.

Good suggestions!

Thank you

I want to try gold leaf so thank you! Your painting is awesome! 😍

What a great video! Excellent comparison. I do appreciate both but my inclination goes to the blended pear. I love to see the values and transitions. All artists have their own style and I respect all of them. As I was reading the comments, I read one about the music. My thoughts about it is you listen to what you want and whatever makes you feel comfortable while painting and I do respect everyone’s taste for music. I have watched the video twice and I was so concentrated in your painting I didn’t even paid attention to the background music. You did a great job and I thank you for reinforcing the title, To blend or NOT blend! I wish you all the best and I’m subscribing to your channel. ❤❤❤

thank you !:)

Very useful comparison, I always prefer the first one ☝️

Thanks for posting this. I've struggled to like the idea of blending, but it might easier.

Great lesson. Thank you. I liked them both but my absolute favorite is the blended pear ✌🏼 I subscribed.
