I think this is one of the best paintings you have ever done, exactly because you did challenge yourself. The imagined foliage is reminiscent of giant lily pads rendered tiny. I loved the plant stems and thought you were going to use them in place of hair. I'm very sad that you killed the spider. Spiders are so lovely and I really enjoyed seeing that little cutie.
Gorgeous! I'm fascinated by the way you paint subjects that feel monochromatic but where the way you shift the colours slightly gives them a lot of volume, depth and life. It's impressive to see unfold. Something I'm scared of is painting with yellow or orange as the main colour; I have trouble finding the right balance and toning them down without the painting becoming muddy with dirty oranges and browns and losing the intensity and warmth that makes those colours so beautiful.
I have no idea if this might be of interest at all, and please ignore it if it isn't (especially since I have no personal insight into this)! I think Steve from The Mind Of Watercolor made a video about shading colours. If I remember correctly he was speaking about using the colors next to it on the color wheel, so for yellow, using orange and perhaps red for example. I don't know if that's inspiring at all, but it should be easy to search for here on UA-cam if you feel it calling to to. ☺️ Anyways, I know I felt inspired just by you sharing this! Thank you for that!
I LOVE this, though with the watery colors and the lilypad-like plants, it really gives me Dead Marshes vibes -- you know, < LotR movie reference here, lol. > I do love the lighting in here, especially on the hair!
It looks like a kind of underwater and magical creature, this is so nice! About the fear of green, I totally agree, whether it is in drawing/painting or in jewelry making, I don't feel comfortable with this color, and my art teacher once told me that green was like a wild horse 😁 Your result is beautiful, success with green 💚 effort and perseverance pays 💙 I like your work a lot 😘
I failed my most recent piece, it was supposed to be for a contest. However I didn’t fail because of me. I put in the work to get it started and did everything I could to keep working… but I have really bad anxiety and my mother decided she wanted to spend an entire day bouncing between passive aggressive commentary or just straight up yelling all because I wouldn’t bum money off my partner for her. She knows how sensitive he is about money. His family is just more financial than ours. So in the end, as excited as I wanted to be for the contest, I’m scared to enter it now. The deadline is Dec 6 and she really put me in a bad rut, I’ve felt horrible for days now and can’t get any work done. I know it’s partially my own fault for not being more resilient, but when you can’t afford treatment for severe anxiety and people you live with are toxic as a barrel of uranium, it gets so hard to push past being overwhelmed
Oof, that's rough. I'm sorry you're going through all of that right now. I think you should be really proud that you got some painting done despite all that. And if you managed to finish it, maybe you could enter it for the contest anyway? You won't win, but maybe you get some useful feedback out of it. Also, I've been in a similar situation, and for me the concepts of the grey rock method and J.A.D.E. have been extremely helpful. Good luck, I hope you will be able to leave this toxic household soon and find a peaceful place of your own. 💚💜🧡
@@RadishTheFool I really appreciate the kind words of support. Beyond words. It’s hopeful to feel like there’s at least someone who wants to say something nice instead of just drive home every bad thing about me as a person. I try not to be so spiteful towards my mother, I understand she’s been through a lot of very bad things, she just handles it very badly. If I can manage the courage, I may try to enter the contest since you have a very good point, it’ll help me get feedback even if I don’t land a numbered place on the list. Again thank you for taking the time to say a few kind words to a stranger having a really hard time. You didn’t have to but the fact that you did helped more than I can say and i really do thank you for it
@@PinkWytchBytch I've been there, I know it's so tough. Especially when you're young and can't go your own way yet. You're a person who deserves happiness, and I'm rooting for you.
I love this piece! It's fascinating. The elements you've included, even though yousay you struggle with them, give us so much to study. The color palette is inviting, and the subject just makes us want to stay. Beautiful!!
I love this video! Also thank you for showing us that you warm your tape before removing it so it doesn't rip the paper. I always forget about that little trick!
Green is my favorite color. LOL I have to make sure and be very conscious of the amount of green I use in my paintings because I will go WAY overboard and have a fully green monochromatic painting before I know it.
I saw the leaves in the thumbnail and was literally so struck by how good they look. for me, I feel like I'm really bad at making warm color palettes work, but especially the color orange, and ESPECIALLY especially muted oranges. if I could make every painting out of just magenta and cyan I would. 😔
Orange is such a tricky color, I can never seem to get it to look good. I honestly think of it as a disgusting color now and hardly use it, I may use a varation that seems more natural but I never use a straight orange tone.
Maybe this is the Australian in me talking, but I totally interpreted the start as hey check out my funky little friend, so that turned into a plot twist (also are wish spiders a thing in other places? When you get a little spider on you, you blow it off and make a wish?) Also totally get the plant thing. When I included plants in portraits I tended to do very loose suggestions of plants and at some point I was like I should actually learn how to paint plants, but honestly I kinda prefer the loose abstract plants from when I was too lazy to figure out how plants work 😂
Wish spiders? Nope.. I tend to shriek and run and flap my arms and wish I never get a spider on me again. Living on a farm my arachnafobia has improved, but surprise contact is a trigger still.
I think the biggest issue with green is the tendency to add an unrelated pigment, or worse a mix of multiple unrelated pigments, to a work. You have to either "mate" it to your existing palette by adding a green pigment to your others... or experiment with ways to create green from the pigments already in play. Also be sure to always use the green in other areas of the work besides the obvious.
Yes! I got really sad thinking she killed it; it was just as scared of her. And Spiders are wonderful at eating pest insects and really want nothing to do with humans.
The color yellow, and to an extent, brown. I've recently reconciled with brown a bit more but with yellow, I cringe when I have to use it in large doses. Also, finding a spider in one of my sketchbooks would send me off screaming. I don't know how you managed to not just drop your sketchbook or use it to send the spider slamming off to the farm. You're much braver than I am.
I love this painting so much. I don’t understand what it is about it that I like, but I’m so drawn to it. Maybe it’s the color palette. I’ve been trying to render something I like with the same color palette for months and just haven’t gotten what I wanted…
seus vídeos sempre me inspiram, e dessa vez não foi diferente, pensei em fazer uma arte experimental com diversas formas, elementos e tipografia. You are amaaazing, love u so much from Brazil
Your videos make me so happy! (Unfortunately, not the spider lol they're beautiful in their own regard 😳😳). I definitely struggle with details and painting plants as well. My main focus is portraits but have been exploring different subjects and styles to hopefully find my own style. I also don't have a lot of time so whatever I do, I tend to finish quickly (around 1-2 hours broken up). I'm also trying to be a lot looser but tend to tighten up! I need to just let my imagination take me and stop my internal critic
Plants are also a big thing for me! I used to love rendering flowers but I feel like my interest has gone elsewhere. I'd like to incorporate them more soon
I think the reason you were able to make the plant without reference is because you have seen that plant more than any other plant so you're more familiar with it
Please don't kill the spiders, just put them in a cup then slip a paper underneath and take them outside. They are so helpful and do not wish to hurt you, I understand being afraid as I am a little cautious too. But I normally rehome the little buddies either outside or near a window so they can take care of flying insects. Other than the spider I was actually surprised when you said you had a hard time with foliage, I learned how to draw from flowers so I was sorta shocked that someone had such a hard time with them. I think you did an amazing job representing plants in this painting, the colors are also so lovely and it was enjoyable to watch you paint.
Rendering, bodies, clothes with folds, background, masculinity, and animals. I’ve been trying to think about using more white. I feel like I always mess it up but my painting never looks good enough to me.😩 I’m not too picky with colors but I rarely use black and white and I want to. :(
I can render horse faces but not human faces :) Is it the scale your think? Or the amount of detail? I think the plant is a pilea (pancake plant we call it in Dutch)
your videos always make me experience two things: The Big Cozy and the Immediate Urge to Pick Up A Paintbrush
TH BIG COZY ahhhh that makes me so happy! I hope you get to pick up a paintbrush soon! :D
So true!!!
cant agree more! its just the most joyful moment when i see another video up on your page!
You said it perfectly!

calling it now. That spider is dead.
edit after actually watching: that painting is amazing! I love that you incorporated all those elements
Noooooo! It was so cute.
If a spider enters my house, it's not cute anymore :)

LOVE this one!! It's absolutely mesmerizing watching you paint. The paintings just come together so magically, it feels effortless!
I love this video! Also thank you for showing us that you warm your tape before removing it so it doesn't rip the paper. I always forget about that little trick!
I love spiders!! They are awesome. I hope that living on the farm doesn't mean you killed him.
Your improvement is so evident and lovely!
I love the greens and blues, its so tranquil and relaxing to look at. Your watercolours are so inspiring!

I hope you love green a lot more now. What a great choice of leaves!
I don’t like using green when working traditionally either! Idk why, I like it in nature but not in my art haha. Beautiful work as always!
This painting is gorgeous of course. Your videos always give me the urge to paint!!! Thank you!
This painting is absolutely gorgeous. I don’t know why but I’m swooning over how you painted eyebrows! 💕💕✨
I get real swamp/ underwater vibes. The plant reminds me of lily pads and the hair like plant tendrils. I really like this one.
This is the perfect opening to a video i loved it! And the painting is beautiful ❤️
I love the final piece ❤️ watching you paint is so calming! It always makes me want to grab my stuff and go paint

I spotted Prince sidon in your sketchbook i love!
I just love the athmosphere of this painting. It's creepy but also really peaceful. I think this might be my favorite painting made by you
This is gorgeous
I wasn't ready for the spider in the beginning TToTT man, arachnophobia gotta kill me one day.

:( I wish people wouldn't kill spiders, they are so helpful
Yes! I got really sad thinking she killed it; it was just as scared of her. And Spiders are wonderful at eating pest insects and really want nothing to do with humans.
I have frustrations with greens too. I always have a hard time getting a real green that feels and looks like a natural green

Lovely work thanks for sharing
Round leaves? Maybe eucalyptus?
Thx for shared your experience and lovely painting! It is a lovely reminder to keep exploring!🌟
Was very nice of you to include your spider friend
run away little spider friend!
NOT THE FARM ANALOGY FOR THE SPIDER 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love this painting. He is..🤔 captivating!❤️🧚♂️
This is so lovely 🥰
maybe that's why we call it PAINting...
Aight, I see myself out.
:o. I love that so much (it also hurts me)
Gorgeous painting
RIP spider friend
aww the little guy at the start, i hope nothing bad happens to him
@@crayon8943 thats good :) i hope he's enjoying his stay and its not like he got squished in transport or anything
I have to get a print of it
Your videos make me so happy! (Unfortunately, not the spider lol they're beautiful in their own regard 😳😳).

Really like this one :3
The plant reminds me of pilea peperomioides, also known as Chinese Money plant
My favorite color to paint with is green.
Plants are also a big thing for me! I used to love rendering flowers but I feel like my interest has gone elsewhere. I'd like to incorporate them more soon
I love the way that birds look in paintings, but I have an irrational fear of them so I can’t spend the time needed to include them in my own art
My love of art bring me here
Beautiful art video. Good job dear friend ❤
Ooooooh so pretty

Great painting! I love the color palette. I love blue greens. Also, great peel porn. Lol.
Wow love hun
Peperomia is what the plant is I think!
the spider is too scary for me to watch this
Are you sure he didn't buy the farm? Your art is wonderful BTW.
you killed the spider 😢😢😢
I can render horse faces but not human faces :) Is it the scale your think? Or the amount of detail?
I think the plant is a pilea (pancake plant we call it in Dutch)
You're lovely, and your paintings are too. (:

Don’t draw someone from your dreams T.T never works out for meee

you killed the spider? serious?!
Beautiful art video. Good job dear friend ❤
