This from a 77 year old: I love your generation, that you're tech savvy and old school at the same time. And that you're all grown up and making a living and, hopefully, going to take on the country with some aplomb. Soon😘
First off: I wish more content creators would normalize not posting on a regular/scheduled basis. It just hurts my anti-capitalist soul LOL So glad you didn't post in a while because you prioritized yourself over making something when you weren't at your best!
I love that you shared which art supplies you use a lot and what you use them for! I'm a crochet artist who's trying to get back into drawing and sketching more so I love seeing what works for other artists!
Please take care of yourself! Covid did a number on me and my immune system. So give yourself a lot of rest, and things that relax your nervous system. I love your videos!!
That first song slaps. Also, really cool art. Also, my boss walked up behind me while I was watching this video at work and I got a promotion. So, thanks for that, I guess?!
recently came across your MAKE MORE ART video and I'm loving your energy and the things you create-- thank you for being vulnerable and showing your art to the internet!
I’ve been to that basilica! 3:45 The colored glass makes the whole building sing with colorful sunlight that really can’t by captured fully by camera, it’s definitely a sight to see in person
Really happy you uploaded ❤ my spouse and I recently found your videos and they have helped us get inspired and feel like "artists" again. Truly thankful for you sharing your journey and artistic process 🙏
commenting for the algorythm:) i love getting art supplies during travels, it's sort of like with smell memory- every time i use them later i remember the place i got them from and flashback memories from the trip
Love your vlogs so much! You have such a knack of knowing exactly how long to stay on each clip of b-roll. Glad you're on the mend, thanks for sharing your trip with us!
As a girl who lives in Barcelona, I absolutely adore this! I love your art style and as an artist myself too it’s refreshing seeing new creative work of the city ❤ Thanks for sharing!
so so lovely and sweet and silly - I love your work and videos so much and always feel inspired after watching them !! there is magic in the way you experience the world and exist as an artist on the internet...! it's been wonderful to see another chronically ill artist navigate it all in a way that's real and funny and smart and savvy and and and - thank you for sharing
It’s been a tough day, but seeing that you had posted gave me a much needed smile today, so thank you for sharing your holiday and art materials ‘tour’ ❤
I'm a reluctant traveler, but this makes me want to go see new things and sketch them. Barcelona looks absolutely beautiful! Thanks for taking us on a trip! :)
From a long time subscriber commenting for the algorithm support: take care of yourself! You've been through a lot and your content is so great, the channel will bounce back from any breathers you take.
Thanks for sharing your travel journalling supplies. I always overpack and take a million things I will never use. Barcelona looked amazing - a truly beautiful city.
BAAAABE WAKE UP!!! Eggie posted!!!! The vlog had rollercoaster of feelings kind of vibe with the cannibalistic seagull and cute little ducklings after 😅 Thank you for “what’s in my bag” traveling artist edition. It got me inspired to refresh mine
This was so inspiring! I’m about to make a big move and I want to get back into my art practice and start journaling to make memories outside of photos. Your clip about remembering that street forever because you drew it is perfect!
Kristen- you remind me of one of my first loves, and I enjoy watching your videos so so much. I have never been so inspired by anyone as I have you! I am a fiber artist but you so deeply make me want to satisfy the craving I have deep down to learn how to be sketchy and expressive and artistic in a more traditional sense. you make such a wonderful impact!! I hope you are having an amazing day🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
LOVE love love your videos. I'm so excited to cozy up and watch every time you post 🎉 I especially love your use of color -- color theory?? I could never. please take the time you need to rest and reset 🫶
Love the architecture, the scenery and the cows! I just adore your videos, they always inspire me to get out my sketchbook and draw. I'm a fellow chronically ill person and artist and I've been going through and watching all your videos recently while in a flare up. Truly so delightful to virtually spend time in your studio and see your process!
This is my favorite kind of video, a lil travel, a lil sketching, a lil supplies 👩🏻🍳😘 I love the spreads where you use a colored pen, and then fill out background with neocolor. Really nice technique to make it look special with minimal supplies.
Oh my goodness! I was in Spain last year, and I’m seeing you visit all the places I was at! Montjuic castle,(the hill with the pool), the Sagrada Familia, and even the shipping yard are all familiar to me. Hope you enjoyed the trip!
I visited Barcelona in 2018 and loved it! I am so glad you got to visit the Miro museum. I love his work, and visiting the museum made me love it even more. Sagrada Familia is just awe-inspiring. We went up in the towers, and it was incredible.
I love how you were able to pare down you supplies so much! I am totally impressed! I am heading out in a short while to spend a few days camping in our travel-trailer and I cannot believe how many supplies I am bring with me. It is embarrassing. All I can say is I have the space, so why not fill it. I never use all the supplies I bring. If I touch half of them, I'll feel so accomplished, and I do spend a lot of time making art while we camp. I think I view our travel-trailer as my portable studio...🤣🤣🤣
Just got back from a trip to Türkiye and I’m still recovering from the flu - travel sickness is no joke!! Loved the video and loved getting to see all your sketches :)
Missed you. So happy you’re back and on the mend. Great suggestions for light art travel supplies. They worked well for you! Look forward to hearing from you soon.❤
Third of all: Loved all the little commentary you edited in to this video. Slinging footage together already takes a lot of time, so I appreciate how much effort this vlog must have taken. It was so delightful, and I really liked seeing the minimalist setup! (I can't relate, but it's definitely aspirational LOL I tend to want to bring ALL THE THINGS)
I'm so sorry to hear you had covid! 💖 I'm really grateful for you using your platform to spread the word that C*vid is still a problem and encouraging others to wear masks! I am chronically ill and vulnerable to covid. This means i still wear a mask, so hearing someone with a similar experience and pursuing their passion of art, like myself- is immensely inspiring! Love your artwork and content- keep on trucking! 🌼🌟✨️
So glad you’re home from hospital! I love Barcelona a lot, looks like you had a great time there! Love all of the sketches you made on your trip. Hope you feel even better very soon. ❤️🩹
Heya! I've just found your channel and have done the old binge watching. Thanks so much for everything that you share here and through your art. Excited to watch your future vlogs and projects. Lotsa love from Manchester UK x
Great video. It's so weird seeing someone smoke a cigarette, especially online. I haven't seen that online or in person in a decade. And thanks for showing us your travel supplies.
This was my first video of yours that I have watched. It was just what I needed while eating dinner on my back patio with a glass of wine. It was a crazy day at work and this video was a perfect blend of travel, art and some art info. Thank you for sharing
We've been sick, too. Summer sickness is no fun! Glad you are feeling better and got a chance to go on a beautiful trip! Have a good rest of your summer! 💞
Hey little egg - love this post! Your trip looked both fun and chill. The best. I like your minimalist sketching kit. I find that the more gear I take the less I do.
Discovered your videos yesterday and Im feeling so inspired to sketch more thank you!! So cool seeing what supplies you used to give me some ideas on how I can delve more into creating ❤
i absolutely love your use of colour! i'd had my eye on the talens sketchbook for a while. hearing how well you got on with it has just tipped me over. hopefully it will inspire me to draw en plein air more :-) i hope you're recovering ok
I get so excited and happy when i see a new video by you is released, it genuinely makes me so happy to watch these! im glad you're doing okay and well💗🎨
Great little refined kit. Always a good reminder to edit down our own travel kits. Good idea on picking up a small Neocolor set and building up one by one after.
been going through a really tough time and was happy to see you posted, your videos are always an inspiration and a nice dose of good vibes for the day
Living vicariously through art vlogs of talented artists like it's my job. Thanks for this wholesome lil trip to Barcelona. Looking forward to seeing what you make to keep you company in the studio, and glad to hear you're feeling better.
Yay you’re back, we missed you! Thank you for sharing your holiday, loving your on the go pen collection wish I could travel as light with supplies I always over pack 😂
I've just found your channel and it's soooo inspiring! The best sketchbook tours on youtube, you really show your process, not only finished pieces, that's very honest and beautiful and really helpful ❤. I'm subscribing and looking forward to more of your sketchbook tours! Ps. I love Barcelona, it was so nice to watch your trip.
Clicked SO FAST when i saw you posted. I love that you enjoyed Spain! Can you tell us more about your oil pastels and the water soluble(?) Ones? I love your art style and your videos genuinely bring me joy! Hope you feel well and have a great day! 🖤💜😊

@@HeyLauraVan Ditto!
aww thank you so much
Your insta post of this comment brought me to watch this vid 🤣 your videos have seriously kept me company as I swatch paints!
First off: I wish more content creators would normalize not posting on a regular/scheduled basis. It just hurts my anti-capitalist soul LOL So glad you didn't post in a while because you prioritized yourself over making something when you weren't at your best!

Seconded. One of my fave things about her vlog
Please take care of yourself! Covid did a number on me and my immune system. So give yourself a lot of rest, and things that relax your nervous system. I love your videos!!
I don't understand English, but I love your videos. The world through your eyes is beautiful.
I wish you happiness from Japan.
"What a nice place to be a cow" ... love it!
That first song slaps. Also, really cool art. Also, my boss walked up behind me while I was watching this video at work and I got a promotion. So, thanks for that, I guess?!
you are so welcome
recently came across your MAKE MORE ART video and I'm loving your energy and the things you create-- thank you for being vulnerable and showing your art to the internet!
The algorithm is working because I just discovered your channel now through this video. Definitely subbing! Love seeing other people’s art process.
oh wow welcome to the channel!
I’ve been to that basilica! 3:45 The colored glass makes the whole building sing with colorful sunlight that really can’t by captured fully by camera, it’s definitely a sight to see in person
I always always take too much art supplies to a trip. You use minimum supplies and get lively sketches. It inspired me a lot. Thank you for sharing ❤
Glad you took some time to get better! Hope you continue to prioritize your health. We’ll all be here whenever you have time to post
Love all the sketches! I always enjoy the combination of art, and nature adventures.
Really happy you uploaded ❤ my spouse and I recently found your videos and they have helped us get inspired and feel like "artists" again. Truly thankful for you sharing your journey and artistic process 🙏
aw that is so cute, thank you so much!
I loveee June’s postcards 14:23

I love watching your no pressure sketching, it has inspired me to take drawing and painting so much less seriously with amazing results
Welcome back! Glad you're better, we missed you!
Greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷
Thank you! 😃
Love that you were in Barcelona. Thanks for sharing the tools you used while on your trip. 💐

This reminded me to keep my travel kit small to ensure I actually sketch !
Welcome back! 💜 love the travel sketch content, so inspiring to see how someone views and documents the world. Hello from The Netherlands!
Welcome back! Glad to see you’re doing better. Missed you. Love from India! ❤️
thanks for taking us along and welcome back ☀️
It was wonderful to go on vacation with you! Loved seeing Spain and your art.
I loooove finding out what artists bring when they’re traveling so this was really insightful and helpful ❤❤
Missed you. So happy you’re back and on the mend. Great suggestions for light art travel supplies. They worked well for you! Look forward to hearing from you soon.❤
