All fantastic books. The Disney artists were all, and the animators now are all amazing. But you can see the stereotype that was pushed by the Disney Empire, and persists to this day. I had not heard of Adrian Berg, and I can see why you would be so attracted to his work. The Yoshitomo Nara book is one that I do want for my library, mostly because of the way it has been published! Thanks, I love your Books for Art Inspiration series!

Amazing drawing process ❤

Amazing painting process ❤

You are so true. Anything to not look like a fool, though most probably no one will see it. And it will be beautiful anyway. But what if it’s not? Why are we like this? And I see others make what I hint is very poor art, yet the makers put it out there, so proudly, and even hold classes to teach how to do it. And people fawn over them. Why, why, why? (Your artwork is beautiful by the way.)

This resonated so much! Thank you Lee! Keep making more videos, love them 😊

All gorgeous! I think, when I looked him up, the Society of Illustrators had a post about his passing on 😢 The Bird Book is fantastic!

I love Mark Hearld! I found his book so inspirational and it send me on a whole beautiful journey when I felt I was stagnating with my ideas to make work. I know the Austin Kleon book as well but have never purchased it for my collection. And the special book! Marthe Armitage ❤ Thank you for this review.

❤ beautiful

Hello! It’s weird that there is no Adrian Berg book in Amazon, I liked his works and thank for sharing

Absolutely love this book series you're doing. Its so inspiring to see other arrists work. It really broadens the horizons of whats possible, when you work in your own little creative bubble at home I think you need that sometimes, otherwise I often get lost in my own tunnel vision 😅😂❤xx

your style is incredible. i'm in love

Dear Lee, Please stop tempting me to spend more money on stunning art books! I always enjoy the ones you share and the incredible work you create, as well ;) That being said, you are a bad influence on me and my bank account, hehehe! Your viewer, Deb ;)

Just love your videos and gorgeous inspiring books ❤ thank you for sharing …. Just wanted to add that your art studio looks amazing would love a video showing around it 💝

I love this series, the bird book is gorgeous! x

Thanks for this fab video. That bird book

YAY! I love this video series of yours, Lee! I've found so many good art books through it :D

Such a relaxing and inspiring video! I especially loved the Birds book - all slightly different pieces of art and lettering yet, like you said, all woven together through his style! Thank you, Lee ❤🐦‍⬛

Love this! The painting is beautiful...♡♡♡ I try using the 10 minute rule, give myself ten minutes to make a mark/start something. If, after 10 mins, I'm still not feeling it I stop; more often than not I'm into it and continue 🙂

Love love love The Strawberry Thief. A few words can change lives. Thirty years ago my dentist said “Only floss the ones you want to keep”. It immediately became an every day habit, and an everyday habit too. You’re right about access to tools and materials. I’ve a single box for one pastime; easy to grab and get going, provided I keep the table clear. Another craft requires many ‘bits’, so I now take time to enjoy the preparation time, as it focuses me on what I’m going to do. Interruptions and how to sink back into the warm bath of creativity when someone has made us get out? More than once when parenting is involved? Suspect that’s another video entirely.

Beautiful art and very relaxing video, Lee ❤

I love this painting Lee, it’s beautiful! I’ve noticed that recently you seem to be painting sometimes with a brush rather than exclusively paint markers as you did in the past? Forgive me if I’m wrong🫣 I’m particularly interested because I tend to have phases of using acrylic paint markers and after a while I miss the feeling of a brush. I also loved listening to how you’ve made time for yoga in the evenings, such a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration. x

Very useful advice. Less Tv/ mobile time. It definitely helps clears the mind for creative thoughts processes. I agree, you can think up ideas and put pencil to paper at a convient time; little and often.

Ohh I loved listening to this, your talk like you are in my brain! I also think since smart phones came into our lives, it is harder to make the time to be creative even though that is what we want to do the most.

gorgeous piece Great advice Thank you

This piece is so incredible, Lee😍Look at all those sweet li'l strawbs🍓I fully agree with all that you spoke of. Back in the end of 2020 I started painting again for the first time in many years (most of my day job requires digital drawing) and the act of making art with a physical medium once again was so much more engaging and therapeutic. It also was a great way to meditate and turn the volume down and then completely quiet my noisy mind. As we all know, 2020 was a loud and stressful year for many, so I needed this and I've kept up the practice ever since. I cannot afford *not* to make time for my art practice, or getting lost in a book, as much as I can't afford to skip brushing my teeth at least twice a day!

I love your art so much! Thanks for the advice on how to think about how we spend our time.

Fantastic video ❤, it’s a great motivation. Also, loved watching your process as I’m a big fan of your artwork. I recently bought one of your tiny horse art prints and I love looking at it in my new craft room 😍 Thank you so much!

I just bought your 100 days book!♡ love the book and love your videos, especially how you have something to say with the voiceover while we see your process xx

Such a lovely video. Your voice (& wise words) are so calming! Really needed this reminder today. Thank you Lee. Also, your sketchbook pages look lush! May I ask, what sketchbook are you using here? ❤

What a brilliant series!

Do you have a video on the flop through of your book 100 days of art ?

3 and 5....but all of them are really beautiful ❤

Enjoyed this review of books. I’m trying to find where I can get the Martha Armitage book? I cannot find it online ?

Love watching your book series! Please keep making them, very inspiring.

Just found your channel, I absolutely love your work! 💙

Hi Lee, i really enjoy listening to you talk about your art book collection. Even if I already own the books you are talking about, I like to hear your perspective. Your videos are making up for my lack of formal art education. 😊

Lee, I’ve have just paused your video to let you know that I am drooling over Marthe Armitage. I’ve never seen her work before and it’s wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. I might be back with another comment when I finish watching the rest of your vlog.😀

Thank you for your recommendation. I love your art and your soothing voice 😊

The ‘h’ is silent because it is a French name, I believe,and as we know there is no ‘th’ in French! ;)

Another great video! Thank you!

You know it's too difficult to choose, I love them all. I say 5 then I think 3, no 6! It makes my brain hurt so I choose just to watch the reel on loop 😍😂

Love them all!

6 because I love green!

Your voice is sooooo soothing and beautiful to listen to
