The level of inclusiveness and positivity on this channel is incredible! We have always believed that there is room for people new to art in any art community, and we know for a fact that artists who work for their own enjoyment and self-development can be every bit as serious and hard-working as those who work for profit. Thanks, Mira for including everyone who wants to make art on their own terms!
When I was in school as a kid/teen, I used to draw full art pieces in the margins of my homework and class notes. One of my teachers told me if I stopped doing that, I'd be a perfect 4.0 student. So I decided to start adding colour out of pettiness...lol. I had a 3.0+ grade point average, I was fine with my GPA, it was above average so yeah...lol. But seriously, me drawing in the margins of my notes and homework made it a bit easier to remember some of the information I was supposed to learn, so I always did that. Even in college I kept up with it. One college instructor, he would draw responses to my comics I drew in his class for my homework...lol.
I love you bouquet flower painting! And the cat first looked like your cartoon style and you turned it into a realistic looking cat. I love your more sketchy nonperfect style because it takes your eye on a journey through your art piece.
I love painting frogs. I am currently working on a series of frogs doing human things-golf, meditation, cooking, etc. have a bunch of ideas for frogs in famous works of art (the scream, mona Lisa, etc). You do such cute stuff ❤
Huge animal lover here! 🙋🏻♀️ My favorite animal is a wolf! 🐺 Also, thank you for including every type of artist and every skill level. I have been watching you for a couple years now and I just love how positive and real and wholesome you are. 😊
I love that you are encouraging everyone to merge their hobbies. It may be obvious to some people but not to others. But this is exactly why I draw and paint a lot of things from Japan. My ❤!
I have a garden too ❤ and I have been painting radishes and carrots for an upcoming art festival. My favorite animal is a rhino and I am totally going to paint one in a flower field now 😆 what a fun idea!
My favorite animal is a bear! Also, I love how much you inspire me Mira, because sometimes I feel a bit pressured to stick to my own style of art, and I love how you are so willing and just happy to try something new! ♥️
“I really just love being outside” girl, same! It’s winter in Aus right now, rainy and cold, but I’m out in my camper van painting a mural on the wall inside!
I painted a jelly fish for.the first.time.while.I watched this. Trying to.combine hobbies like you said. Really working on focusing on the process. Love the peach painting.the best though they are all really good. Great video.
Mira, I love your art style and techniques that you use. You have encouraged me to paint myself and I have completed a few canvases. Could you please do a tutorial on how you painted the bouquet and the techniques you used 🙏🏻
The cat painting is deffinitly my favorite! It's soo cool! I think especially because I have a white cat. And I love when art styles are combined. (I really dislike living in Europe now, because I would deffinitpy want a print of that one 🥺) My favorite animal is the sloth. There are so many fun little facts about them. Also my family used to call me a sloth because they thought I was that lazy 😂 I always find it so surprising you do the background last, it feels so overly complicated. But I do like how you sometimes leave the edges open so the underlayer shines through. ❤
Please turn this lovely kitty into a pin. 🐈 📌 I really enjoyed this video & headed to your new website immediately! Your husband did a fantastic job, the vlog where you all were standing outside of the twin's room was magical!
OOOOH! I am making a whole series with the concept of your first painting. For 2022's inktober (I never posted the ink sketches because I love the challenge but don't support the creator) I did every piece as a sketch with a few of my coloured pens. I loved the pieces so much I decided to turn a bunch of them into paintings. I then decided to put the subject of the painting in the foreground and silhouettes or bokkeh or just blurry versions of the subject's favorite thing. I then built up a new foreground with toilet paper mache, and used paint, or cut out watercolour pieces to give the piece a 3d effect effectively moving the subject to the mid-ground, and having a new foreground. The latest is covered in massive hydrangea flower bunches!
@@arugni he plagarized another creator's book. The way he did so can be considered racist and although I am on the side that agrees, I don't want to fight over it. I don't remember the other creator's full name off the top of my head (I don't remember either of their names at the moment, but if you look up "Alphonso ink tutorial" you'll likely find him. His stuff is great and so much of his stuff was copied nearly word for word and definitely lesson for lesson in inktober dude's book... Jake... something I think. My memory sucks haha.
Thank you so much for sharing the process of the cat painting 🤗🤗 its my favorite from the four shown in this video. I love your art and how you sooth the atmosphere. You are the best
Lovely paintings, especially the bouquet and the cat painting. (My 21 year old cat passed away yesterday so anything cat themed is a bit emotional for me.) I love the idea of merging different interests. Right now my paintings are influenced by my love of old films and anything vintage. I can't just pick one favorite animal, but dogs and cats are the top of the list. I also love elephants for their empathy, intelligence and adorableness.
Mira you’re art inspires me so much. I love nature and drawing/painting it as well. I love creating and even when things get rough you inspire me to keep going and keep creating. I’m even painting on small canvases at work on my birthday today. It’s so fun especially when I watch your videos. ❤
I think this was my favorite video!! I'd love to share my art with you!! I've been afraid to, because I didn't know I could. Yeah❤ just love your uplifting videos, thank you for sharing.
My favourite animal is a giraffe, has been since I was little, I love your giraffe painting so much, wish I could buy the original, might just have to try painting my own giraffe or making (my regular medium is anything within the realms of textiles)
I love the way you think. It's been helping me and my mind set. I used to be so negative about my art. But now I just let it be. And the result is always so satisfying. Thank you for being a inspiration in my life. I love your videos and keep up the good work!
I have had "Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America stuck in my head for two weeks, and it is staying right where it is for the time being. 😊 I like the peaches painting!
My animal I think I would pick would be a dolphin and then I thought when you said animals and places they don't normally go to I thought how cool would a dolphin look in a field of flowers ....very cool.... You have given good tips on how to approach different I just love your channel well and you it wouldn't be the same without you 😊
Thanks Dear love your inspiration is what I feel to painting and not worrying about the out come or comparing is so the best and enjoy the process. I have been painting since I was very young and every time I paint I learn something ,and have surprising outcomes. that most time had no idea what or how it would come out. I love to be able to paint and feel free to try new things and different mediums being self taught is how I learned and keep learning by trying things and just paint because I love to paint and it feels amazing for my soul. love your work 💖
i haven't watched u in a while and i instantly realised i missed u and ur cozy, sweet voice 😭💕 ur so loving and supportive.. ty for being here ❤ btw ur eye colour is gorgeous!!
oh my gosh!! that bouquet is my favorite!! I love it so much and would absolutely love to have it in my house!!! ❤❤ unfortunately I don’t have extra money right now 😢 also… my favorite animal is little baby ducks ❤❤ fluffy yellow little babies, I also like the grown ones too, the Peking’s
When I see a blank canvas I get so excited I start thinking about so many possibilities and so many things comes to my head that I get overwhelmed but that's because I have adhd and but breathing help 😃
Hi Mira, I just want to tell you that I really enjoy Your videos you gave me so much inspiration and can you please make more sketchbook ideas cause I’ve been wanting some sketchbook a little bit of like journalling ideas so if you can make that happen, Can you please do it? LOVE YOU MIRA 💝
Thank you so much Mira this video just gave me the best idea! So I crochet and I paint, so I was thinking that I could cut pieces out of my canvas and fill it with different crochet patches :))
Very helpful tips and inspiration! My “made-up” art is often the most interesting! It’s abstract, (representational and non-representational,) sometimes close to the real thing, sometimes a collection of designs that please me. Thanks Mira!
Great ideas and a wonderful message in this video - thank you for sharing your work, your process, and your thoughts with the world. Do you have a favorite paint brush brand that you stick with for your acrylic paintings?
Good ideas. 🙂👍 🍑Your peach painting is well done. 😊👍 🤚Animal lover here..... My favourite animal is a golden retriever dog, or a wolf.... but I love all animals. 🦮🐕🦺🐺 Love your cat painting. 😺
You probably already know this, but I’ll say it just in case, the fluorescent colors used are unlikely to be lightfast so you need to remind buyers of this if you sell the original. Because those pink/orange sides will likely disappear if hung in direct sunlight. They need to be hung in the shade or possibly be given a UV resistant top coat.
My favorite animal is a cat or a dolphin! I am so scared to try to paint an animal because I am not so good at using reference pictures and sketching. But I will try one day when I am brave!
This vid was super helpful, having just gone back to my art and not being the most confident of people :) That last painting, now thats my comfort zone right there, self confessed crazy cat lady right here :) A slight question, how easy is it to mix paint types, i usually use watercolor's, but can i add gouache or acrylics to the same painting without making a huge mess?
can is ask, umm what is that stick you were using to sketch youre checkers in the first sugestion? if you would answer i woukd be more than happy P.S i really love youre videos keep up the great work be positive as always.😍

Thank 😊
I saw this before even getting a notification haha. I just got home from my baby's GRADE 8 GRADUATION! He got the Drama award. SO PROUD!
Mira: talking about painting things over and over because you enjoy them.
Me: looks down at my sketchbook where I'm drawing my millionth doodle piece.

I’m a catperson for pets, but my all time favorite animal is the elephant. I think they are humans in animal form. Such incredible creatures.
I love the cat. He's so cute. I love the blue tone under him.
Thanks so much for including all artists no matter their skill or amount of practice! You really inspired me to start painting again! ❤
She inspired me to start painting & drawing again too! 😊
I love that you are encouraging everyone to merge their hobbies. It may be obvious to some people but not to others.
But this is exactly why I draw and paint a lot of things from Japan. My ❤!

Hi. Can you paint a dog and a sports painting please?
A pug I have one and I painted him in a paint class where he was already drawn out and I just had to paint him step by step.
Pandas 🐼
hi mira can you do a video on collaborating with other artist like emma jane lefebrve and jess karp ?
I have a question……. @2:17 what paint or charcoal are you using to draw with on your paint brush?
is that acrylic paint or goauche or acyl goauche?
