Hi Leigh, I have been following you and your art for a while, and I love how freely you paint, knowing exactly when to stop, not overdone. Loving how vibrant your art is, the colours are dynamic, yet, all done with the simplest strokes! I adore your streetscapes and landscapes too, will you be doing more of those? xoxo
You can spread out some slightly diluted ink or acrylic on a flat surface (glass preferably) for your stamp - that way you can customize and change your color and/or make gradients between two colors if you want. Love your work! Thank you for the relaxing VLOG.
Wow you really inspired me to start selling my own work. It's hard to keep up with everything, all social media and art and a shop. So just know you are amazing!
not only was this such a chill video to watch, it was so fun to see what you watch while you're working. drew gooden, furrylittlepeach and parks and recreation are definitely some of my favourites too. keep up the lovely work!
While Torie is taking a nap and Boris is getting all the attentions. So cute. Love your new drawing and painting. I got my package the other day and so happy to have your art in my studio. Thanks again. ^ ^
This is such a chill vlog to watch... nice to meet you Leigh 🌈 (ps: I love your art style, I believe drawing looser lines and sometimes not coloring all the way through like you do is way harder then actually having that “complete” look to the art. I appreciate that aspect in your style so so much. It’s like a kid’s drawing but a kid with great knowledge in art and perspective and color theory... this is a compliment, I swear, kids are great 😄Your art feels very free is what I mean. Lovely work, hope to see more of it!)
Maybe this will help: when I don't have acrylics colors with me (only white or yellow or one other color), I had a bit of (tubed) watercolor to get variation on the shade. I figured that watercolor is mostly pigment (with a bit of gum Arabic which is very understanding) so as long as the biggest part is acrylic there is enough binder to make it stick to the canvas (or paper)... I even used it to shade some (white) wood filler one and the result is amazing!! There is now nice yellow pop of colors on my dinning table!
Yayyyyyy. Today's vlog was perfect to listen and watch as I painted today. Stopping painting with the end of the vlog as I too am getting a little tired and careless. So thank you also for the reminder!
Leigh, I love your videos! Seeing that you posted honestly really helps me turn around a bad day. You're so authentically yourself. Your art inspires me to keep working on my own. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us!
I think it would be great to see your process of making and selling your prints, stickers, etc all in one place! Like where you buy from, how you scan/photograph and edit! 💜
I LIVE for your art and videos🙌 I admire you SOO much, I think you have worked super hard on your business and still being true to yourself💖💖💖 I was wondering how do you manage or feel motivated to finish all your tasks and be productive? I'm in a procrastinating stage atm and I don't like it but I just can't stop😭. Help!
Thank you! I get great satisfaction from crossing things off of a to do list which is a drive for me to get started on work. Sometimes I offer myself treats like cookies for completing tasks I don't want to do. If it's possible to have something I love to listen to in the background (youtube videos, Netflix, podcasts) that helps me to keep trucking along. ♡ Make it as fun as possible!
@@LeighEllexson thank you so much for your answer, Leigh!💖 I think to award myself with yummy food will be my go to, too! You're right indeed...is better to make it fun, it doesn't have to be a hustle or boring right? 🙌
hi leigh! was just wondering what coloured pencils you used to do the vase/rainbow original drawings and also where you got the custom stamps you use on the outside of your mailers? love your work!
I use mostly prismscilor premiere colored pencils ✨ I’m not sure where I got my stamp, I googled self inking custom stamp and picked at random honestly.
Every time I see something while shopping that has frogs on it or is a frog, I'm like Leigh would like this. So yeah that's a thing. Cool vlog, the bird poop made me laugh. Also love that you were upfront about not thinking that brand is doing enough. 10/10 content.
Your vlogs getting me through life as always. And making me want to paint again. I know you said it in anther video but I can't remember, what brand is your current sketchbook? I've started two dif books lately and the paper is not fabulous enough for watercolour.
Do you plan out your camera angles? Or just spontaneously know when to switch it up? I feel like I spend more time setting up my camera than actually making art when I try to film lol

wow thanks!! I love painting landscapes and streetscapes so you can count me in!
Ink Pad tip I picked up, keep them facing down when not using them, it'll keep the ink at the surface! Also that Thank you stamp is amazing!
Genius!!!!
I’m living for Boris cameos
He’s a beautiful boy

Into this idea!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you! Agreed it is a little brain frying at times 😅
I simply love your art.
Why do I still really miss when you used to say 'hi it's me. Leigh.'
End of an era 🥺
i literally save your vlogs to watch bc i love them...like i dont want it to end
I'm flattered, I feel the same way about other people's vlogs
not only was this such a chill video to watch, it was so fun to see what you watch while you're working. drew gooden, furrylittlepeach and parks and recreation are definitely some of my favourites too. keep up the lovely work!
I’ve been waiting for thisssss her vlogs are hands down my fav
Thank you ✨🌈

Thank you!! I totally understand, live for the kid feeling of making art!!
i love that her thoughts are so chaotic and scattered cos.....same
Beautiful and calming as usual...making life more peaceful
Here for it
I love how the stamp came out 😍 it's so detailed
I always look forward to your videos! I get so excited when I get a notification that a new video is up; you're a big inspiration to me as an artist!
Maybe this will help: when I don't have acrylics colors with me (only white or yellow or one other color), I had a bit of (tubed) watercolor to get variation on the shade.

Love the whole vlog! I always play this in the background whilst illustrating so nice! I appreciate how open you are about your profession!
There is so much chaotic energy in this vlog but I am here for it and I understand it
Boris looks like a toasted macaroon and I'm here for it.
Cant stop looking at that frog pen holder 👀 .NEED
I never click as quick for anything else but a new studio vlog 💚
Into it 🔥🔥🔥
I really like the green outline
Lov all the *adjusting tripod* content. Very reel very raw

Yayyyyyy. Today's vlog was perfect to listen and watch as I painted today. Stopping painting with the end of the vlog as I too am getting a little tired and careless. So thank you also for the reminder!

I like your little paintings. They are beautiful and very cute. You can always make these paintings very good. Thank you for sharing! 👍!

Strathmore mixed media sketchbook 🐸♥️
Bruh, your camera skills make me feel so welcome.
Do you plan out your camera angles? Or just spontaneously know when to switch it up? I feel like I spend more time setting up my camera than actually making art when I try to film lol
It’s fairly spontaneous but it’s mostly based on where my camera is already set up/where the natural light is coming in
leigh
ive been watching ur vids nonstop for two days. someone help
Love the stamp! Why would they give you an ink pad you can't use with it though? So silly. Love the post card and matching stickers!
No idea!! It makes no sense!!!!
Your art is gorgeous 🥰
I fucking love parks and rec!!!!
Boris is the hero we need
Best boy
