    Beautiful work? How do you manage to paint these locations? Do you snap a photo to paint later, or do you have to find somewhere to sit. I imagine these paintings take a little while.

    I am in a few art classes and recently i have been feeling like im losing my passion to sketch and make art but you have sparked my passion again, hearing you describe how to do things showing how you use water colors and just enjoy creating art in your daily life is incredible. i love the way your water color paintings have so much color in the faces and a soft yet divided color to the skin. you inspired me to purchase a watercolor set and delve into a medium i have relatively minimal experience in.
    Thank you.

    Hey Scott!! Im a new fan of your channel. I am currently 15 years old who lives in The Philippines. When I was much younger, i thought art was just a drag, it’s all just a bunch of color that looks appealing to the audience. But since covid struck, my view on art change dramatically, and I hoped to improve more on it one day. Your videos always lights up my mood and gives me motivation to do art. I want to make a travel journal like yours one day to look back on old memories. Thinking about it makes me feel butterflies for some reason.
    You art is truly amazing and it changed my life in some way. I’m starting to like gouache and watercolor paintings and planning to make more art out of them. Your drawing process gives me hope for myself that I am just a young artist growing and learning, just like you! I don’t hope to be you someday, but I want to become my better, unique self! You don’t know how much your art means a lot to me, it keeps encouraging me to be my unique self and not be afraid to show my true colors.
    Keep doing what you love doing, Scott! There can be negatives in life, but always remember that there are people out there who care for you whenever you’re feeling down. Thank you for your amazing artworks, thank you for existing and thank you for being yourself.
    Lots of love, Xel.

    Hi Scott, Although i have recently discovered you. I have been watching your content like crazy! you have become, without a doubt my favorite artist! I actually recently began my art journey a little over 2 months ago, finally at the age 30 on a whim. I went my whole life not ever attempting any art. As a kid I was discouraged. I thought of my self as a non artistic type, and i felt just bad at it in general. So i stayed away from it. Well after finally trying to learn i have found it to be a passion of mine and wish more than anything, that I had taken to it at a younger age and realized the passion i have for it. I am crazy about it and everyday i practice and plan to do so, everyday. It's all I want to do in my free time anymore.
    Sorry for the rant. The reason I am sayin this all though, Is you! Aside from the love and passion i have found in art. I have discovered you as well. Not just and amazing artist who i can watch create for hours and learn and enjoy. You are someone who inspires and brings me joy to listen and share this sliver of your life with. Not only is it the amazing art you share with us all. It is the confidence and optimism you offer on all things art. You feel almost as a mentor or life coach in a way, Someone i can relate to and I share interests with. Without a doubt you are someone that i can still look up to at the age of 30. You inspire and give me the confidence to keep on trying even when i feel i failed. I wanted to say thank you. For all that you do, and all that you share and give to us all.
    In closing, Thank you Scott... Is all i truly need to say. Thank you.

I thought every artist had just spectacular penmanship, so it is refreshing to see an amazing artist that doesn't write like someone out of an 1800's calligraphy school.

    I buy my daughter the XL sketchbooks now. Great price for the quality.
    I have a question if you or anyone can answer it. My daughter sketches with pencil. I have bought her every other medium to get her to branch out. She only wants to use regular black pencil. So I started buying her different pencils as far as hardness etc. She wants to stick to the trusty #2's. I can't seem to figure out why she doesn't want to take it to another level in her art. She has the talent. Am I making a mistake suggesting other mediums to her? She is self taught. Oh yeah she does love to draw digitally now so I got her a good digital sketch tablet. So there's that. She wants to go to college in the animation, film, gaming industry. I just want the best for her.
