Love your colors and fearlessness. Where do you list the music in this video? Can you share that with us? Thank you for THE BEST instructions.

‘If your goal setting is based on others expectations of success from other people around you…that probably won’t serve you well”. THIS! Woke me up! Truth! Serve your soul….what you feel in the deepest depths of your art….not what others think!!! Omg. I was so focused on my mom’s perspective, without either of us knowing. She is an everything must look exactly as you see it and be pretty….for it to be good art. Dang this hung me up. To no fault of her own, yet it held me up so much. I want to be free of that.

It was lovelie to watch this again.

omg your work is amazing ! I got so excited when you start talking about patches ... I miss them as they are harder and harder to find I feel, I really like them in a sustainibility way : I already have a lot of tshirts, I don't need more, but I do have sweatshirt or bags that could have a patch or two ... and the day those things can't be worn anymore I can unsew my patch and sew it again on something else :) the t shirt design is amazing though

thankyou for posting this video, I could watch it over and over, there is so much to absorb on different levels.

Thank you for the exercises! They are very useful!

Orla I want the t shirt! Please make them!

Love this one, so many great ideas. Love the inset vlogs. I would really enjoy a video exploring Berlin, I'm sure there are loads of cool things to show us. Great stuff x

Beautiful ArtWork 😊😊

Hey Orla, I just wanted to pop in and suggest a painter you might want to check out. His name is Brian Rutenberg. He's in the USA and, if you haven't heard of him I think you may enjoy his landscape painting. I know that I definitely do. I hope you find enjoyment/interest there ❤

Love your ideas about T-shirt! I really enjoy all video!

Hi Orla, thanks so much for your hard work to make your videos. I feel like I'm not spending enough time too on my art right now but I don't know if that's just too high expectations...can you tell us how many hours you spend in a week painting and do you have designated days/blocks of time to paint, please. Do you plan your week at the start? many thanks in advance, from Canada.

love your work Orla, and these videos. They are always so interesting and encouraging.

So inspiring. Thank you Orla 🤗xxx

Love your patch, badge, and stamp ideas! So cool to see all these different sides of your artistic practice. Defs your illustrrator side coming to life!

I really love getting a cup of tea and making art along with your videos. I'm a bit of an introvert so this feels nice and chummy 🙂

Love! Even your jumper matches. You really are such a treasure Orla. 🥰

Hi Orla, smashing video no surprise its full of inspiration. Patches, my mind is thinking all sorts of where l could go with the idea. Thank you, also for your emails.....Alioban 💖

I love the stamps idea! And the t-shirts! So inspiring, as always 😊

Ok I need that shirt!💓

Orla, thank you for the fantastic video!❤ Have you made any book about how to sketch (different styles, ideas, photos etc)? I looked for it on the internet, but I found nothing😅...

I am truly excited by your painting at beg of vid. Love those colours, your interpretation of landscape

Thank you, Orla. I loved this video.

Great ideas here -- the shirt. The patches etc. Love it!!!

Really good, Orla💕You give me the idea to draw patches for all the places I’ve lived🐾 Bought a couple of small sketchbook🌈

wow every piece looks fantastic!!! great work, loved this whole video 🥰❤❤

Just found you…great video !….i would never have dreamt of putting watercolour over acrylic- does it stay put ?

I have only just seen this video and although it’s 2 months old I just wanted to say what a superb video share this was for me. Your passion and excitement really shone through which is always beautiful to see in others and that paired with your process and reflections produced a very inspiring creative video 🙌🏼

Thank you Orla! I hope you enjoy your adventures and get some rest and inspiration! You’ve really encouraged my own creative process, your videos are so helpful! I would love any content on reworking old works. Overpainting and/ collage. Thank you again and happy new year!

Happy New year and thank you Orla for this insightful, thought provoking video! I always come away feeling refreshed & inspired after watching your videos! Enjoy your rest and look forward to the next video <3 lé grá mor (big love in irish)

I am 2 years into painting, with no previous experience of it. I am still experimenting and trying new things, so my consistency is still changing-I have about 3 different styles I love. I do understand its important to have a style, but Gerhard Richter has several styles, at least thats what I tell myself! LOL Thanks for your videos.

I love the way you placed ideas in the sketchbook at the end! it looks like a mini gallery and I can actually see the painting from a better perspective. Beautiful abstracts! 😍🙌🏾

Oh Orla, I ❤ this video so much.

I am so loving these 'hiking' and sporty figures, amazing how a drag or blob of paint, ink or crayon can look so detailed. Haven't been able to watch your videos for a while, when I do I am always excited by your exploration and freedom, and not making your work rigid or stiff. Thank you for sharing your stories Orla, love the picture resulting from sleeping on the frozen bog.

Thank you so much for sharing, it's so inspiring! I think one of my main goals is to start working on larger substrates and get out of my sketchbooks a little bit, also I want to learn printing techniques, starting with something easier like a gelli plate and then probably learning more about linocuts!

Thank you Orla! This technique looks exciting.

Thank you so much for all you do making these videos, I have learned a lot from you.

Thank you so much for sharing, like always, your inner thoughts and also the booklets. I am a no planner, because I have learned the hard way, thar life happens every second and you can't control it. I really wish you happy everyday in 2025 and please don't be so rigid with yourself. Your art is beautiful and for me full of your own true, let go of perfection and embrace the weirdo in you, after all we are all light and dark and we have to connect with the contrasts to became full and truly one.

I really appreciate you demonstrating play and exploration. It helps me to see that experimentation is okay. Thank you!!!!

Hello Orla, this popped up this morning while having my breakfast. I can see l "liked" it when l first watched it. I am keen to start intruducing figures in my drawings/ sketchbooks. I used to avoid people when taking photos of which l have thousands. But a photographer l follow takes some amazing shots with one or two people at a distance, now l do the same with his encouragement. People give a differnt meaning and perspective to a landscape., and l see that in your drawings and paintings. SO.... thats my challenge. I love seeing people from behind, or sat in small groups or alone at a cafe table.......Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work.....Alioban ❤

Thank you for the videos this year, they have truly inspired me. Wishing you all the best for the season and hope you enjoy your mountain time!

Thank you. :)

Thank you Orla for your wonderful videos here on TH-cam and all your resources, videos and meetups on Patreon, they are truly inspirational and I've loved every minute. Wishing you a fantastic holiday and a well deserved break 😀🏵️

Thanks. I took notes. 😊

Thank you for sharing your personal reflexions Orla. I wish you nice Holidays and some good rest!
