I HAVE an art degree, I went to school and everything, but I’m not an active artist nor did I learn how to make my place in the art world or even how to make art from my degree so I also consider myself to be self taught. You really don’t need a degree to be good at your job or your craft.
That’s well said! At some point every artist must dedicate time to improving their skills on their own even after they get an art degree. Thanks for your perspective!
Exactly! If you don’t actually put in the time and work even with 100 degrees you won’t make your place in the art world, it’s all about building up your art and practicing consistently, but it’s totally possible to make your mark it’s just a question of time.
Start making art just for you, enjoy learning and developing your techniques or master just one, practice, the whole secret is in practice, after that your path will be clearer to trace.
I can confidently say that I learned more from UA-cam and taking a few courses with professionals, than I did in University. I had a degree in FA, but knew nothing about painting, how to use mediums properly let alone how to approach galleries or get into shows. The institution I went to was all about concept and the big 'idea.' I was at a large art show in Toronto earlier in the year and the number of self-taught artists blew my mind with their work. You paint better than I do, by the way. Never give up. Do you like Mitchell Albala - sorry if I mispelled that, but your style reminds me of his! All the best :]
Thanks so much for sharing your story! I’ve heard a few others say similar things. I too have learned so much from online courses and my own practice! I appreciate your encouragement Trace. I haven’t heard of him but I’ll definitely check his work out!
I enjoyed your painting art, comfortable space, realistic setting to see and paint a picture. Every time I see your work, I feel very light and relaxed. Your landscape painting is also very beautiful, I like it very much, thanks for your sharing.
Your videos really inspire me! The quality of the shooting, transitions, poems - everything is done with quality and taste. I draw mostly in electronic drawing, but I like to observe traditional drawing. Also, I'm interested to know what it's like to be an artist in a place other than where I live. In my space, the profession of an artist is not the most prosperous occupation. But looking at these videos, I believe in myself more. Thank you for being here.
That’s so kind! Thank you so much 😊 being an artist definitely has a negative stigma in more places/cultures than others. In my experience it’s more accepted in American culture. For my Asian culture upbringing its not as acceptable, but in the end it’s most important to believe in yourself and focus on improving yourself 😊 wishing you the best!
I have no art degree just love creating. I would love to be painting daily but getting past the fear of “messing up” my sketch is where I find myself stuck. These videos are helpful to see that practice only makes improvement. We’re in this together 💜
I love how you seamlessly cut from your painting to the environment. I don’t know exactly how to word it, but I think that it works so well because of your style of painting, because you aren’t painting it in a photorealistic kind of way, but you are painting it in a way where you are capturing the vibe or the aura or the feel of the environment in your painting. So when you add the music and give those establishing shots, and then I’m looking at your painting, your painting kind of looks like how it feels to see the marshland. I hope that makes sense. I really like it Ashleigh, it’s like you can capture how a place makes you feel in your painting.
Another magical vlog 🥰 that last tip really resonated with me. I feel the same! Comparing yourself to other people who have a lot more years of experience is unfair to you. You’re improving so quickly that without a doubt I see you getting so much better in the years to come ☺️💕 I’m so glad we’re in this together! I could really relate to how you feel! Always wishing you the best ✨
Girl seriously your craftsmanship, art skills, and video content has quality oh my goodness I’m so grateful I came across your channel. You should do how to videos related to oil painting. I want my art to be expressive, witchy, occult, and fantasy type of style. :3
My favorite was also the last one! I have the same issue with over rendering- I found that what helped me is speed painting. Speed painting exercises helped me focus on capturing the subject essence rather than focusing on the details, it helped a lot with my painting confidence too :)
It’s the longest video I’ve seen so far, but I totally agree that you can improve skills without art school. So I love sea and beach, my wish is to paint in the sea. Thank you for made me inspiring!! ✨💕🌊
Like lots of others, I too got an art centered degree, so I had to take a lot of art classes as pre reqs, (for interior design) but it didn’t really teach me a ton about art, but it definetly pushed me to create more and try lots of new mediums because I had firm deadlines. Having time based practice is really essential I think. It’s the age old question of “is the painting/drawing really ever done? At some point, you have to call it and start something new or you never really learn when you just futz around with the same piece forever. Ya gotta move on and try new things and make more things. You can always go back later to something, but knowing when it’s time to stop and start something new is really important and sooo hard for me sometimes. Anyways this was a lovely video and so soothing to watch!! Thank you!!!
I think art school is an amazing option! I would have loved to get an art degree, but it wasn’t possible for me. You’re absolutely right about the drive to practice being the most Important thing for an artist. Thanks for your encouragement! Wishing you the best 😊
Ashley all three paintings are impressive. Definitely, you are a brave woman to go out an paint in plen air. I have thought about it but I haven’t done it yet. Each video is a great improvement and anytime you want to compare your work or yourself just compare it within yourself. How are you doing today compare to where we’re you a year ago will give you much satisfaction. You are unique and no one else will do what you do at the level of commitment you put in each video. Each day is a new day and you have successfully accomplished more by practicing, experimenting and giving your art the time it deserves. It is different for each individual. Just keep going and keep painting. Your future is bright and it has much more surprises for you. Thanks for each inspirational, calming and promising video. Much love, success and many blessings for each day.
Wow this is so sweet and encouraging. Thank you so much Crisalida ❤️ I can tell I am improving from when I started practicing seriously. Have an amazing week. Much love!
I love this Ashleigh!! I appreciate you sharing your beautiful videos and I've always wished to live near a beach!! Especially, having a beach to yourself, listening to the waves, the GORGEOUS sky and sand between my toes, touches of Nature, watching the ocean just being and the just seagulls living, and listening to you narrate your Art life is magical!! OH, and I see you're a "leftie" like me!!❤️🥰🙏🏼
Nice relaxing music with the real landscape and the activity of painting. It is the interpretation of nature to the canvas and each one is a step forward.
I’m the contrary, I am not her fond of landscape. I find them beautiful, but so hard to do. Definitely a style I need to practice more! Thank you for sharing this inspiring videos.✨
Sarah Burns Studio, is a painter that I love to watch. She is an American living in Scotland. She paints the sea, forest, hills, etc. I love her paintings!
Merci Ashleig. Je trouve cela tellement beau ce que tu fais, tes peintures et réconfortant dans un monde pas toujours sympa. Continue tu nous fais rêver.
Beautiful video Ashleigh. The reason I watch your channel is because of the honest way in which you describe your development. Great to see young painters struggle and battle artistic problems until they break through. It is amazing how one successful piece and all the problems you solve in the process, stay with you for life. I can look back at a painting I did 10 years ago and instantly pick out the exact things I learned making it. Keep it going Ashleigh, the reason no one thinks they can create original work is because they give up after a year or two. Originality is inevitable if one persists for decades - you will see! Very soon you will get tired of photo reference and desire to take your paintings to a higher level = that is combining live nature and your imagination. This will happen naturally when you don’t have to concentrate so hard on values, drawing etc. Once again I appreciate your honest approach. 🧠😉👌🏽
I love your dedication and in painting and the beautiful videos you’re making. I really admire your work. I have wanted for years to paint and be dedicated at it. But it is so hard. I really need to make daily schedules like you are doing. To find time for my art and other things in life. Thank you so much.
Ian Robert’s is a wonderful teacher for composition and understanding how to use you colors in landscapes. I have been following him for a while now and am learning so much. I am self taught as well and rely heavily on UA-cam for learning from other fellow artist. Thank you for sharing your experience.
All the three paintings I like very much but the best is the third one, beautiful ! I like the way you are approaching the plein air painting and the beauty of them. You are and artist that pretty soon will be a Master !!! Keep it up. Thank you for your wonderful video.
I’ve been feeling burnt out lately, but this video motivated me to push through that uncomfortable feeling. I have some paintings I’ve been putting off for some time. I look forward to learning new skills and relearning old ones. ❤️ thank you
Yes you are so right in learning on mistakes but helps you do better paintings. I took a course but it was boring I guess just way they were teaching me. I watch alot of artists on youtube I amazed but I enjoy each an everyone of you. Keep up good work!
Hi Ashleigh, I found your channel few days ago and I love the vibe your vlogs have made me feel and I also resonated with you alot watching you and your art journey through your vlogs. It has nothing to with painting specifically but through this vlog I learn to build skills to overcome my anxiety on my daily life with work and everything else in my life. You are self taught in art, I feel like I am self taught in overcoming my anxiety and it is okay to take it step by step and practice to overcome little anxiety and slowly progress to bigger one so I would like to say thank you for sharing your journey. It really has made an impact on me 🤎🤍❤
Hi Ashleigh! I graduated from a high school about art this year and waiting for art colleges' exams. One thing I can guarentee is that you can be a great master without a degree too. Honestly, my school was in a little town and wasn't very developed so I didn't learn much from the school. All I did was to work, research, study on these and repeat. I hope to improve even more by the years pass. I want to say, we can do this! Human being is a weird creation tbh lol. We can get everything we want once we believe and work, that's how I believe and experience. And since I started my YT channel too, I'm learning so much from you about videos, camera angles etc. So thank you and always stay safe!
I find your vlogs so calming,relaxing and inspiring and I think that it's right that without going to any art school and being a self taught artist gets fearful sometimes...but you are improving your art very much... thanks for inspiring me to create a landscape...
You alway give the best advice❤ your very talented. And inspiring to others 👍 obviously even to the people that did go to art school. Your Amazing BELIEVE it❤
me and my sister just love your videos so much! we already watched them all and we always keep waiting for when the next will come. you are just amazing and thank you so much for sharing your art journey with us and inspire our own ❤ kisses from Brazil
Wow Ashleigh! All of the three were awesome! I learnt a lot of new techniques today watching you paint. Since I too am self taught, this was a great video! Looking forward to more. :)
I recommend the proto impressionist Jean-Baptist Camille Corot (if you haven't already heard of him)! He painted studies of landscapes outside the studio before the Impressionists made it a common practice. And a contemporary painter Sam Allerton Green.
Your paintings, advices and tips, the beaches and everything else was beautifully delivered💙 The part where you mentioned "Paint things that you really love" was very validating! I'm currently a landscape artist but I also wanna experiment with more mediums, styles and subjects.
Great Video Ashleigh! I love them all - but the third was really my favorite. Great time lapse video at the end. Thank you for talking about Twilight hour in painting.
Mutual Respect to both self-taught and Art school taught artists. Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo went to art schools and Vincent van Gogh was self taught.
Hola, creo que los tres tienen algo de especial,encontraste hermosos lugares ,y creo que te queda muy cómodo la pintura al aire libre felicitaciones, la perseverancia lo lograrás todo gracias🌼🌹
Thank you for another relaxing and inspiring vlog, Ashleigh. I enjoyed watching you paint each piece and my favorite is the one of the marshlands, but, of course, I do like all of them. I recently purchased two art journals; one for portraits and one for landscapes and still lifes. After watching you paint the marshlands, I want to paint one in my landscape journal. Thanks for the inspiration!
To me, art school is being so useful! we have a subject called Fundamentals of visual language, and this in specific is helping me so so much to learn how to comunicate my ideas through art. I believe anyone can be an artist, with or without an degree, but I think sometimes an art school can be a great experience in life for some people❤🥰 by the way, I'm studying Art Education🧡
NO doubt watching your video truly inspiring one.... the location for your painting is well perfect moreover your voice and the way you paint with your left-hand 👌✌✌🤟👍
Beautiful work. The paintings, AND the video itself. The scenery, the music, even the bit of poetry at the beginning, brilliantly put together! Plus, you get extra points for using the phrases "Secluded Beach," "Deserted Island," and "Abandoned Research Facility" all together without being a Sci-Fi Channel movie! Seriously though, I'm an acryllic man myself, but their relatively quick drying time has always made outdoor painting problematic (at least for me). Do you find oil paints lend themselves better to plein air painting? Excellent Video As Always.👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your encouraging comments! Haha I love a good sci-fi movie so that might’ve been an influence 😅 Yeah the quick drying time is why I tend to stay away from acrylics. Oils are definitely better suited to plein air painting! Definitely try it out if you can 😊
Fan girling here🙌 omg girl i feel the same.. about refining the work when I'm supposed to do an impressionism style. It's kinda hard eyyy. Thanks for the videos. 🙏🏼🥀 im more inspired bec of you.
Art is one of the few things you don't need a degree for. I only went because I needed in person instruction to help me, but I really hadn't gotten anything tangible or truely helpful to making art. (Save my first drawing class) I legit did whatever I had previously, or learned from youtube artists I follow. I didn't get technique tips or anything like that that I didn't already know by figuring out or seeing online. I dropped out in what would be right before the beginning of my 3rd year. Only regret so far is that I've been so busy trying to make money to help my mom with bills (writing since I haven't found how to make money off my work/no one's been vocally interested in my work) that I haven't gotten to sit and practice my skills or even attempt to learn a new medium.
Hello angel I hope you are great. I want to tell you that I loved this video, it was super inspiring. I love the way you pass on your knowledge. I am going to start studying art this year and I am very excited, although the truth is that it has cost me to pursue what I like because of some relatives who did not agree. And in the end I decided to do what I like and fills my soul. You will surely get what you want because you are so amazing and creative. Have a great week. Kisses and hugs from me. ily forever 💌✨
I am a self taught artist.....youtubers who helped me are .... "joni young art", "acrylic painting techniques","Art of John Magne Lisondra", "bob ross videos","ColorByFeliks","theartsherpa"...........i like joni young the best ...coz i can just follow her step by step and the painting turns out exact.....and since i dont have any background knowledge abt perspective or brushes or color mixing ...i know she will not leave u in the middle of it ....i made two of her paintings and they turned out good...even though i know nothing about painting
❤️😭❤️😭❤️ You really delivered on content in this one! Three paintings presented in a half hour- nice work! I haven't decided which of the three is my favorite. They all have features that I loved 🤔☺. Can I say that I like them all equally? I was a little concerned that 30 minutes might be too long to hold attention, but you did a great job (as usual) of keeping me engaged. In fact, I was not even aware of how much time had passed when the last musical accompaniment began. It was a beautiful piece, but made me a little sad because it had the feel of closure and saying "good-bye for now." It made for a bitter-sweet ending. I will definitely have to watch this one through again, and will be looking forward to what your creative genius serves up next ❤❤
Добрый день Эшли! У меня есть художественное образование и для меня это был долгий путь в искусство. Дело в том что я тоже пыталась учиться самостоятельно, и как мне казалось был прогресс, но не хватало фундамента. Штудий в рисунке, грамотных консультаций педагогов, правильно поставленных заданий которые дают рост в творчестве и прогресс в обучении. Смотря на ваши работы я вижу огромный потенциал, вы очень талантливы. Если вы не хотите идти в художественную школу колледж или университет, но есть желание быстро идти вперёд хорошо найти наставника художника который подскажет как улучшить ваши работы. Когда смотришь как работает мастер можно многое почерпнуть и его советы о ваших работах могут очень помочь. Желаю вам больших творческих удач, и развития вашего канала на Ютюб.
I’ve always said that too, that I don’t find landscape painting very interesting. I’ve always just painted or sculpted women. I think I just might try some plein air though, because of the peacefulness I’ve felt in watching this video. Thank you!
I have only started oil painting yesterday and I have made a huge mistake I use my acrylic painting brush for oil colours its really hard to wash them Can you pls tell me which oil needed to use to make the paint oily And thank you for your paintings its really getting me a great inspiration
Really nice work! But the pochade box moving all when painting would drive me nuts! Is that because of a small tripod or loose tripod attachment. Don’t know how you do it. Keep up the beautiful work.

Jess Karp is one of my favs! Love your videos and your paintings have helped me grow on my own art journey ❤️
ashleigh king
I uploaded a new video please check it out it’s only a short one tho
thank you, i wanted to ask if you wash your paint down the drain? it is very bad for the marine life and environment, pipes. love to you.
It's seems I am little late😅😢
But thanks, anyway!!!

That is so true. A bachelors in art means nothing unless you have a MFA and want to teach. I also have an art degree and self taught.
Start making art just for you, enjoy learning and developing your techniques or master just one, practice, the whole secret is in practice, after that your path will be clearer to trace.
Exact same here I have my BA in at and I have learnt so much more outside of school on my own!
I can confidently say that I learned more from UA-cam and taking a few courses with professionals, than I did in University. I had a degree in FA, but knew nothing about painting, how to use mediums properly let alone how to approach galleries or get into shows.

OK, wow. Painting a damn nice picture on a "Postcard Jiggle Canvas in a Suitcase" is some next level stuff....
Your dedication, love for nature and art, humbleness, eager to learn and share have always drawn me towards your vlogs! Keep shining and thank you!
That is the sweetest thing 🥺 thank you for all your encouragement Shruti!
I enjoyed your painting art, comfortable space, realistic setting to see and paint a picture. Every time I see your work, I feel very light and relaxed. Your landscape painting is also very beautiful, I like it very much, thanks for your sharing.

Aside from your beautiful paintings, your videos are so visually pleasing and inspiring to watch. Each and every video is a piece of art itself! ✨
Aw thank you so much!!
Lovely video. Your relaxing style is very peaceful. Fun to watch your art journey. Bravo
Another magical vlog 🥰 that last tip really resonated with me. I feel the same! Comparing yourself to other people who have a lot more years of experience is unfair to you.

Aww thanks so much Ana!! You’re improving so much too! Glad to have made such a great art friend on this journey😊 much love! 💖

Painting the sea was so much fun! You should definitely try it too 🥰
What a treat seeing these paintings come together. Your style is coming through.
So kind! Thank you 🥰

#1 was probably my favorite, but I loved watching you paint them all!
Thanks so much Rachel!!
Background music fits comfortably the ambience

I’m the contrary, I am not her fond of landscape. I find them beautiful, but so hard to do. Definitely a style I need to practice more! Thank you for sharing this inspiring videos.✨
Landscape paintings definitely grew on me! They’ve been so fun 🥰
Sarah Burns Studio, is a painter that I love to watch. She is an American living in Scotland. She paints the sea, forest, hills, etc. I love her paintings!
I will check her work out! That sounds like beautiful subject matter! Thank you 😊

10:28 wow the detailing of wet sand n dry sand
I once took a few classes before, but I did myself taught over the years that I learn from many style of art research
Yes you are so right in learning on mistakes but helps you do better paintings. I took a course but it was boring I guess just way they were teaching me. I watch alot of artists on youtube I amazed but I enjoy each an everyone of you. Keep up good work!

11:25 thankyou Ashleigh for showing how to wash the paint brush 🖌️ definitely gonna try this
No problem 😊
your videos are so chill and pretty :0 they have definitely helped with artblock, thank u!
Yay so happy to hear that!! Thank you 😊
I just love your landscape painting, I hope you'll make more of them in the future
I enjoyed all 3 paintings Ashleigh, but I did love the last painting the best! Keep up with your painting journey!

I find your vlogs so calming,relaxing and inspiring and I think that it's right that without going to any art school and being a self taught artist gets fearful sometimes...but you are improving your art very much... thanks for inspiring me to create a landscape...
Thank you for sharing your thought and different technique and style arts work.
You alway give the best advice❤ your very talented. And inspiring to others 👍 obviously even to the people that did go to art school. Your Amazing BELIEVE it❤
Stunning, i love watching you paint 😊You are very inspiring 🌺
me and my sister just love your videos so much! we already watched them all and we always keep waiting for when the next will come. you are just amazing and thank you so much for sharing your art journey with us and inspire our own ❤ kisses from Brazil
Aw that makes me so happy! Thank you so much 🥰 wishing you both the best!
beautiful! bringing en plein air vlog to next level
So peaceful and I like it.
Wow Ashleigh! All of the three were awesome! I learnt a lot of new techniques today watching you paint. Since I too am self taught, this was a great video! Looking forward to more. :)
So happy to hear that Shoma!! Thank you 😊
I recommend the proto impressionist Jean-Baptist Camille Corot (if you haven't already heard of him)! He painted studies of landscapes outside the studio before the Impressionists made it a common practice. And a contemporary painter Sam Allerton Green.
Your videos are miracle
Another beautiful video Ashleigh. I’m going plain air painting soon in the desert!! So I will have the implement your techniques cx
Thank you! Oh how fun! If you film some of that I’d love to watch it in one of your videos 🥰
Your paintings, advices and tips, the beaches and everything else was beautifully delivered💙
The part where you mentioned "Paint things that you really love" was very validating! I'm currently a landscape artist but I also wanna experiment with more mediums, styles and subjects.
Thank you so much Maki! I’m glad that part was helpful, it’s something I have to continually tell myself 😊 how fun! You should!
@@AshleighKing hi Ashleigh , where are you from ? I want to come to you and learn art from you,would you help me pls
@@bhawanasharma2048 She lives in the USA!
@@makizenin1840 oh thanks
What is the sorce of talk to her pls tell
Great Video Ashleigh! I love them all - but the third was really my favorite. Great time lapse video at the end. Thank you for talking about Twilight hour in painting.
Thanks so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
The first one the most beautiful
Thanks!
Mutual Respect to both self-taught and Art school taught artists. Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo went to art schools and Vincent van Gogh was self taught.
Hola, creo que los tres tienen algo de especial,encontraste hermosos lugares ,y creo que te queda muy cómodo la pintura al aire libre felicitaciones, la perseverancia lo lograrás todo gracias🌼🌹
I have the same pochade box, I got a better easel and it really helped with the movement
Thank you for another relaxing and inspiring vlog, Ashleigh. I enjoyed watching you paint each piece and my favorite is the one of the marshlands, but, of course, I do like all of them. I recently purchased two art journals; one for portraits and one for landscapes and still lifes. After watching you paint the marshlands, I want to paint one in my landscape journal. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much Patti! I’m glad you enjoyed that one, it was my favorite too 😊 that’s great feel free to use my clips for references!
@@AshleighKing It's my pleasure Ashleigh. Thank you for allowing me to use your clips for references.
I liked all of your paintings! Your work is inspiring.🧑🏻🎨
Thanks so much Tracey 🥰
i really love your plein air oil painting vids tanks for always inspire me it always helps me practice more tank you 😀😀😀😃😄
Now I am inspired to go out and paint 🌝🌼 and share thank you 💫
Yay! Have fun 🥰
Thanks ashleigh this is very helpful .I am beginner and I learn so many things from you 😇😇💕💞
hmm hard to choose, but i would say I prefer the first painting, its a nice calming beach scene 🙂and all of those baked goods looked so good!
Thank you!! Wishing you the best 🥰
ваше видео прекрасно. каждый кадр-это уже картина!!!
Your video makes me feel like I’m watching Studio Ghibli’s sceneries, it’s fascinating anyways have a wonderful day estrellitas🌟💚
Aw I love that 🥰💖
It's always a magical experience to watch your videos❤️❤️❤️
So magical
you're so talented, such nice landscape paintings
That’s very kind, thank you!
Degree and self taught are important. We need concept and keep practicing
To me, art school is being so useful! we have a subject called Fundamentals of visual language, and this in specific is helping me so so much to learn how to comunicate my ideas through art. I believe anyone can be an artist, with or without an degree, but I think sometimes an art school can be a great experience in life for some people❤🥰
by the way, I'm studying Art Education🧡
That’s great!! I totally think it’s a great path! I just wasn’t able to attend art school but you’re right 😊 wishing you the best!
@@AshleighKing Love your art ❤️ painting outdoors gave your painting that magical feeling you have ☺️
NO doubt watching your video truly inspiring one.... the location for your painting is well perfect moreover your voice and the way you paint with your left-hand 👌✌✌🤟👍
That’s so kind! Thank you 😊
Beautiful work. The paintings, AND the video itself. The scenery, the music, even the bit of poetry at the beginning, brilliantly put together! Plus, you get extra points for using the phrases "Secluded Beach," "Deserted Island," and "Abandoned Research Facility" all together without being a Sci-Fi Channel movie!
Seriously though, I'm an acryllic man myself, but their relatively quick drying time has always made outdoor painting problematic (at least for me). Do you find oil paints lend themselves better to plein air painting? Excellent Video As Always.👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your encouraging comments! Haha I love a good sci-fi movie so that might’ve been an influence 😅
Yeah the quick drying time is why I tend to stay away from acrylics. Oils are definitely better suited to plein air painting! Definitely try it out if you can 😊
Fan girling here🙌 omg girl i feel the same.. about refining the work when I'm supposed to do an impressionism style. It's kinda hard eyyy. Thanks for the videos. 🙏🏼🥀 im more inspired bec of you.
Art is one of the few things you don't need a degree for. I only went because I needed in person instruction to help me, but I really hadn't gotten anything tangible or truely helpful to making art. (Save my first drawing class)
I legit did whatever I had previously, or learned from youtube artists I follow. I didn't get technique tips or anything like that that I didn't already know by figuring out or seeing online.
I dropped out in what would be right before the beginning of my 3rd year. Only regret so far is that I've been so busy trying to make money to help my mom with bills (writing since I haven't found how to make money off my work/no one's been vocally interested in my work) that I haven't gotten to sit and practice my skills or even attempt to learn a new medium.
Hey nice to see you Ashleigh, waited for your video. Haven't watched it yet, will watch slow and steady with concentration.
Thanks so much 🥰
Hello angel I hope you are great. I want to tell you that I loved this video, it was super inspiring. I love the way you pass on your knowledge. I am going to start studying art this year and I am very excited, although the truth is that it has cost me to pursue what I like because of some relatives who did not agree. And in the end I decided to do what I like and fills my soul. You will surely get what you want because you are so amazing and creative. Have a great week. Kisses and hugs from me. ily forever 💌✨
So happy to hear you’re following your dreams and believing in yourself! Have an amazing time studying art in school 🥰 wishing you the best!
Beautiful.
signed by A King lol, that's brilliant
I like the last painting it was more captivating keep practicing ashleigh u are doing great ... see u in the next one🥰
Thank you! I agree 😊
Can’t wait to watch 💆🏾♀️💕
You’re always so supportive! Thank you 🥰
If you are passionate about a thing it always is easy
Gosto muito do seu estilo de arte,está me ajudando a me inspirar
I am a self taught artist.....youtubers who helped me are .... "joni young art", "acrylic painting techniques","Art of John Magne Lisondra", "bob ross videos","ColorByFeliks","theartsherpa"...........i like joni young the best ...coz i can just follow her step by step and the painting turns out exact.....and since i dont have any background knowledge abt perspective or brushes or color mixing ...i know she will not leave u in the middle of it ....i made two of her paintings and they turned out good...even though i know nothing about painting
❤️😭❤️😭❤️ You really delivered on content in this one! Three paintings presented in a half hour- nice work! I haven't decided which of the three is my favorite. They all have features that I loved 🤔☺. Can I say that I like them all equally? I was a little concerned that 30 minutes might be too long to hold attention, but you did a great job (as usual) of keeping me engaged. In fact, I was not even aware of how much time had passed when the last musical accompaniment began. It was a beautiful piece, but made me a little sad because it had the feel of closure and saying "good-bye for now." It made for a bitter-sweet ending. I will definitely have to watch this one through again, and will be looking forward to what your creative genius serves up next ❤❤
🥰🥰
this ferrous color base creates a twilight effect
I am self taught but l need reference for painting and when l try to copy that painting it becomes another masterpiece
I loved 1st one
Woke up to this video 😍💫💫💫 literally amazing, always inspiring girl!!! Keep it up !!!
Aw thank you so much!! 🥰🥰
Hi Ashleigh, how r u ? Nice to see u with nice paintings.
Thank you! I’m great 😊 hope you’re well too!
Добрый день Эшли! У меня есть художественное образование и для меня это был долгий путь в искусство. Дело в том что я тоже пыталась учиться самостоятельно, и как мне казалось был прогресс, но не хватало фундамента. Штудий в рисунке, грамотных консультаций педагогов, правильно поставленных заданий которые дают рост в творчестве и прогресс в обучении. Смотря на ваши работы я вижу огромный потенциал, вы очень талантливы. Если вы не хотите идти в художественную школу колледж или университет, но есть желание быстро идти вперёд хорошо найти наставника художника который подскажет как улучшить ваши работы. Когда смотришь как работает мастер можно многое почерпнуть и его советы о ваших работах могут очень помочь. Желаю вам больших творческих удач, и развития вашего канала на Ютюб.
I’ve always said that too, that I don’t find landscape painting very interesting. I’ve always just painted or sculpted women. I think I just might try some plein air though, because of the peacefulness I’ve felt in watching this video. Thank you!
I love your work, and am gaining perspective on my own self taught journey. Thank you. Oh yes, I love your video style. The music is so enjoyable too.
Thank you Kathryn! I am so happy to hear that. Wishing you the best on your art journey 😊
Your voice is so beautiful and I loved this video!❤️🔥
That’s very kind, thank you!
Such a lovely video! Thank you for all the work you put into these ♥️
So kind! I always appreciate your encouragement 🥰
Of course! I always appreciate your videos 🤩
You are my inspiration to draw
I have only started oil painting yesterday and I have made a huge mistake I use my acrylic painting brush for oil colours its really hard to wash them
Can you pls tell me which oil needed to use to make the paint oily
And thank you for your paintings its really getting me a great inspiration
Merci tout est très beau
Really nice work! But the pochade box moving all when painting would drive me nuts! Is that because of a small tripod or loose tripod attachment. Don’t know how you do it. Keep up the beautiful work.
