Looks fantastic, I'm hoping to get back into reading in 2025, so some Sanderson is on my list (although I'll probable start with Mistborn I think)

You made the skin look so smooth 😍 I love how you did his brand and the hair feels luscious. I wanna touch. 😅 Yes, they do cover their left hand.

Enjoyed video found it interesting thank you for showing us your creative art process.📒✍🖌🎨💙happy holidays🎆🎇🕛🥳

I can't believe it took me this long to come across your channel! I normally watch most of the random art vids on incognito mode (so my recommendations don't get swamped with content based on a recent obsession,) but I really liked a lot of what I saw and especially heard during the video. When you said "too many hobbies, not enough time," I was like, this person is my doppelganger, I must subscribe. That, and what you were saying regarding channels that swatch and don't attempt a sample painting and how you feel about it, as well as the fact that you painted a portrait, they all spoke to me. And the fact that you opened with "You don't need more paint, you don't need more paint, you don't need more paint," as I had literally just finished buying more paint from Blick before watching the video. There was too much resonation to not say something.

I love the colors, but i need more transparency. I do botanicals and can't make anything function with opaque layers 🤣😭 im browsing and trying to find my must haves.

HAWT

LOL! I ask myself your title ALL THE TIME!!! I have more paints than I will EVER use in my lifetime, haha! I added the colors from the next set, with the tubes, that were missing from this one. Took our Raw Umber since when watered down, the yellow ochre was close enough. Plus, you can drop another color in with it to make it raw umber, I just forget which since I don't rock it. I got a nice set in the end. The sepia is a must, though, for sketching.

Man now I want to paint a winter themed painting on this glittery paper 😅 Your painting turned out gorgeous!

great use of the glittery paper to make a snowy/icy painting! Glad to hear Juno is doing well, her siblings are currently freezing in the north XD

Spoffbook tiiiime! And Junoooo

Yay for our favourite big fluff! 😍 The painting looks AWESOME! About the flip-through - you could go through the pages and use sticky notes to cover the stuff. Waaaay less editing. Lots of sticky notes tho. But if you filmed in let's say quarters, you could reuse the sticky notes. 🤔

So pretty! Stop making me want glitter paper!!! And yay, Juno footage <3

The way my jaw dropped when you mentioned you read stormlight archive 😭 the painting looks sooo great! Love the yellowww

I"m mesmerized by the process and seeing the painting build up!! Its beautifull!!!

This was such a lovely video. Thanks for letting us into your life and for showing us your process. Your art is gorgeous! 💘

I'm not into yellows but I adore this painting 😍

Your unique touch and nice technique really shines in this size paper 💛💛💛

This was a lovely video and a lovely painting. Thank you

Bri, we're old(er), of course ya books won't be as enjoyable for us as before, don't feel bad about it :D And yes, they feel the same for me too mostly. OMG Juno, I love her❤ The painting looks so good! You did a POC AAAND yellow? Wow.

I loved watching this flip through of your tiny art pieces while you chatted. It's inspirational and lovely. Thank you for sharing!

Good for you! Yes, YT likes videos that encourage people to buy, buy, buy, and waste, waste, waste. I've also decluttered my art supplies, several years ago, and it was part of my no buy. I've also become very mindful when buying any new supplies. I've made the occasional buying mistakes when they didn't work the way the manufacturer said or I thought they would, but that's okay. I've passed them on to other artists. I want them out of here if I'm not going to use them.

Hoping the best for your furry family member 🥰

7:43 Is it a big fight to give your kitty pills? You should check with her vet to see if you can grind them up into a treat. Some of my kitties’ meds have been easy to crush into a powder, which I then add to a spoonful of Churu treat. I’ve had similar success doing that with liquid meds as well, so much easier than force feeding! Maybe it’s not recommended for her specific prescription, but it could save you a daily wrestling match.

I love the lost edges with the hair and the shirt! Glad to hear you faired well during Milton, I was worried it was gonna be another 04/Charley situation for all my people still in central FL but luckily I was wrong. Sorry to hear about Juno, I hope she makes a speedy recovery!

This came out amazing! Hope you're able to find more time for all the things you wanna get done and hope that things go well ❤ I had also been in the mood recently to getting back into doing some fan art, heck, even painting in general. Work hasn't really allowed much time for it and I miss it so much

Beautiful character and work, as always! I hope you made it through Milton ok. Helene was crazy, and though we got lucky here in southeast TN, everywhere around us was hit hard. Hopefully, your damage was minimal and the new roof work goes quickly! It's good to see you painting again.

Love what you said about the denialist crap re Helene and rescue efforts. I live in GA and have many friends in NC. It is very real. Now with the new Hurricane in FL, this is insane. People make these denialist claims bc they don't live there and it doesn't fit into their political narrative and dont want to see what's reality here in the South. Many of these towns are just gone. Families are gone. Houses, neighborhoods, roads are gone and they are not getting relief or help fast enough. We live in terrible times. Hopefully change is coming and fast. Until then, I'll paint and distract myself. SMH

I hope soo much you're back cause I love your videos and your art ❤

So happy to see new video from you! Hoping everything ends well with you and your family, and Juno of course!

Hi, is this A6 size?

Beam paints participate in the painting more than commercial brands. It takes a different approach and I find it difficult switching between the regular and handmade styles of painting. It's a bit like the struggle when switching back to watercolours after painting in oils for 4 months. I find I have to give the paints the freedom to be themselves and negotiate the path to where I want the art to go. If I can do that, the painting turns out amazing. But if I ask them to behave like big brand watercolours, I'm never happy with the results. I can see why they aren't a great match for some painters. I feel lucky that beam was one of the first professional level paints I tried so I could adapt to them without expectation. Just sometimes, I still have trouble by the high pigment load when I paint daily. Haven't had much trouble with lifting, but maybe it's the paper or waiting longer between layers?

I’m now tempted to do this 😂

❤❤❤ Very beautiful and stunning, the process of painting using watercolor is truly extraordinary

This is genius!!! I hope you don’t mind C if I copy this idea! Lovely work! ❤

I really hope it went well and you had fun! Gosh, I feel the same with digital. Wish I knew it better, but pen/ pencil on paper just feels so much more natural. Besides, traditional media is practically a niche anymore, especially at cons, and it has so much more "soul" (imo). Great job on both items!

All those cool colours on legs WOW! It's all stunning! I can't believe you managed to add so much wood detail onto such a small box 👀 and the Princess Donut's sketches are amazing as well

Cool video cool channel I hope I get one of them stickers

That is so exciting! And the sticker looks so cool! Good luck with the con 🥰

Everyone deserves to have a partner who is willing to share the load. <3 You seemed to imply that yours (or someone in your family) isn't pulling their weight. I hope that changes. Please never stop reminding them that you both deserve the best of each other. Best of luck, and beautiful work on this painting.

this is a really neat idea! I think i'll do this for my 2nd 5 year techo in 2026. I bought my current one in 2021 thank you for the inspiration

Love your sketch! I was very curious on this paint.

Take all the time you need. Good luck with everything that's going on.

good luck with all the upcoming changes! it sounds like you're ready for a change. have fun at dragon con!

I love watching this! I am an oil painter. I admire your style!

Bri, thank you for the swatching, painting and review! As helpful as it is, it would be great if you’d label the swatches so we can keep track and refer back. Thank you!

Thank you for presenting the paints not just in swatches but in a painting, too! Great painting!

love the cat ❤

I do want to make a note about zoos/aquariums- not all are like seaworld. Many, like the San Diego Zoo, have set THE standard for how to do animal conservation and wildlife preservation- and if the Georgia aquarium's mission is to teach / help us understand how to care for our wildlife- they should be supported. Do your research on accreditations for zoos/aquariums and go support the ones that care! I see this rhetoric a lot online and find it puzzling as ethical zoos/aquariums are some of the only educated voices our wildlife has.
