The best question you can ask to grow as an artist
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лют 2024
- What is the most important question to ask yourself if you’re an artist? It’s also the most fun question and sometimes also the scariest question: what if? In today’s video I explore my most recent “what ifs” and where they have led me. I share my sketchbook work, a process video of a portrait and I do a little bit of swatching of some of my favorite art supplies.

OK, so I was listening to Tracey and Luke sing "Fast Car" from last night's Grammys and you opened your sketchbook with the 'fast frogs.' And immediately I started singing, "You got a Fast Frog!" LOL! It's what happens in my brain!
LOL, I like your updated version of the song! :-)
Thank you so much. I stumbled upon your page and feel quite at home. Thank you you’re really inspiring me.
Thank you for your kind words! :-)
I subscribed! I like your style a lot! I hope you made a video "how to diy a sketchbook".
I LOVE your portraits!! Do you have other videos doing portraits? Just SO beautiful!!
Thank you for your kind words! :-) You know, even though I’ve been drawing and painting people for a long time, somehow I’ve very rarely put it up on youtube. Hmmmm, I think I’ll start showing more figures and faces. :-)
@@klwebuga Ohhhh I would just LOVE that!! THANK YOU!! LOVE your artwork!!
Thank you so much for sharing, Kendra. Wonderful drawings! 😍 - I have a question on the Sketchbooks themselves, and maybe you or someone can help? How do you make your sketchbooks? I am always trying to find beautiful sketchbooks to use but yours seem to be self-made in some way, as you mentioned, you put in paper…? This would be so interesting for me to learn more about this. - Ps: Just found your video from 4 months ago on the topic 😅 Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! I see that you already found my sketchbook video and commented there, too. :-)
Thank you for sharing, such a wonderful insight ☺☺☺
Thank you for your kind words!
The Lyra 9b pencil is still around! I got mine from blick as well. Hello from Vancouver, WA! I was not mad about the random spring days in February. Now it's back to raining per usual. 🤣
Hi neighbor! :-) Oh, those “spring” days were a tease but also everybody that we met on our walks had great big smiles. I think, after that terrible ice storm, everyone was feeling so happy about a taste of spring. Thanks for your comment! :-)
Oh! Loved watching this! Especially looking at your sketchbooks - and the colours on your fast frog drawings. Divine! Those greens with the blues. Gorgeous! And I love the asking of the question - “what if …?” All very inspiring! Now, I’ve got to go and check out those Luminence colour pencils - they looked yummy.
Thank you so much for your kind words! :-) Those greens and blues are addictive - as are the luminance pencils. So much fun, all of it.
nice video as usual. was ab,e to paint outside this week. Yay If you come down to Ashland look me up!!
Oh wow, painting outside… (cue thrilling shudder)! I love the idea of a trip to Ashland and looking you up - you could show me the great spots for plein air in Ashland. :-)
Oh my goshhh!! Just stumbled upon your channel. Loved this entire video, super inspiring! I think I have one of those 9b pencils somewhere, definitely going to have to dig it out!
Awwww, thank you for your kind words! I hope you find your old 9B graphite stick - I think mine sat in a box for about 20 years before I found a good use for it. :-)
The what ifs throughout the video really resonated with me, and i love your approach to portraits! That mindset is so helpful
I love your comment. When I’m making art, it feels like a constant internal monologue of, “what if… this… what if… that…” and then, “try it!” :-)
Good to see you back.
Hi Larry! Thank you! I love it when life is good and everyone is healthy so I can make art and make videos about making art.
Thank you! :)
Just found your channel. I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge! You mentioned you use gouache, standard or acrylic? I’m about to make my first gouache purchase but just can not decide between the two. Thanks for the help!
Good morning! Thank you for your kind words. :-) Gouache comes in two forms that are very different - one is acrylic, which means it will dry and not reactivate. So you can’t squeeze it onto your palette and use it again the next day (for instance). The regular sort of gouache is like watercolor, but much more opaque.
@@klwebugaDo you have a preference?
I like the animals your foxes are so pretty 🦊 … and frogs 🐸
Thank you! Drawing animals is a new thing for me, but I think I’m getting addicted to them. :-)
