Forgot to mention, I won’t be uploading next Sunday (Australian time) because I didn’t get a chance before I went on holidays. I was pretty burnt out with everything and needed to recharge. I’ll be posting two videos in one week to make up for it. Thank you so much for joining my little space on the Internet. All your love means so much more than you can imagine. 💕💕💕
I’ve been wanting to try painting a crystal cavern for months now. I watch Kayla lashae and she talks about them all the time but I’ve steered clear of it specifically because crystals and caverns and water elements, they all overwhelm me. This was inspiring to watch. I’m not the only one!!!
You are so relatable! Your vlog about wasting your time on your dreams popped up in my suggested videos, and then this was the next on autoplay. Just two videos in and I can't wait to binge watch all of your other videos! I see so many artists and small business owners who portray this perfect life, and it's just not the case for most artists watching. It's easy to watch and want to give up because it seems like that is unobtainable. Your videos are such a perfect example of where I feel like I am with my career and business. I, just like you, just keep hoping that with time I will learn, grow, and succeed enough to make a comfortable living from what I love. P.S. Your landscape reminded me so much of Leigh Ellexson's art
Im super late but I just found your channel a few days ago and I just want to say, all the creative issues you talked about in this video really speak to me. I’m an instrumentalist currently working on getting my performance degree and all those issues and insecurities you talk about: I really relate to that. I appreciate everything you said in this about being kind to yourself and your own personal progress. About practice. And I love learning about the visual art world! Just really enjoyed this video ❤️
I've been in a creative rut since I finished my animation degree a few years ago and have been needing a kick to the butt to start doing work again. This series is a bloody great idea, might do some a study sesh alongside this series to knock myself out of the rut :D
I actually loved your landscape study as well as your crystal cluster. I thought you did a great job :) Love the idea of this new series! Can't wait for the next episode :)
Making my way thru the archives and loved this study session. I'm with you on landscapes. I always found my particular landscape (Indiana, USA) uninspiring until I switched my mindset focus from the actual land to the question "what is the light doing?" then I started to find things worth looking at! Especially around mid morning and late afternoon, just before sunset. Painting the light seems more fun than painting the grass to me, if that makes sense. Great video, enjoyed it!
Oooh i made a tattoo a few weeks ago based on one of those Richard Moss photos! That series is so freaking beautiful and I think you did a lovely job of rendering it impressionistically
I totally get it! I feel like my style translates pretty effectively in drawings/paintings of objects and people because the level of detail gives me a lot to work with, but when drawing landscapes (especially real ones) even the tiniest details are just the impression of something far off in the distance, so if you stylize it it doesn't look like itself anymore? if that makes sense? a very long way of saying the struggle is real! I just found your channel and you are freaking delightful and SO talented. I'm gonna tag you on my insta post of the tattoo since i can't post a link!
Well this is a super relatable video! I struggle a lot too with comparing myself and my progression to other artists; but ultimately what you said about having needed to experience certain things to be sure of your new direction is so true. Though I'm sorry you struggle with this too, 'cause man it sucks so hard sometimes... but I'm glad you're able to logic your way through it :D Also, since landscapes aren't your cup of tea... what if you pure look for references based on the shapes? And then you reimagine them in your own colour pallette, and tweak the plantlife to make it look more alien? I feel like you might have a lot more fun that way... Anywaaaaaay, keep up the wonderful work!
I did the same thing, I started art all over in my mid twenties. I kept stalling because of lots if different factors (art school prices, goals, portfolio, ect). I decided on my 26th bday (which just happened in October) that I want to be an artist (I'm finishing a boring scienfe degree right now). I want to soend the next 4 years really honing my skills. Luckily there's a big art gallery near me that does classes (even figure studies) for reasonable prices. I'm excited to get going on my art.
@@juliarichart Thank you! It seems the norm nowadays to do one degree but then end up in another field. I actually have an associate's of fine arts. I may finish that degree because I love art so much more than science. Then I have my science field to fall back on. Haha
Hey Julia I love seeing your study process :) I know what you mean about under appreciating landscapes you’re familiar with. I come from New Zealand which is known to be one of the most beautiful places on earth but it took moving away from it for me to really see how special it is lol hope you’re loving living in Melbourne now! I love this city it’s one of favourites of all time. Lovely work by the way! :)
Yes exactly! New Zealand is so gorgeous but I totally know what you mean. When you see it everyday it's just not that special. Also, everything is that ugly burnt yellow colour, ewww! I'm loving Melbourne. It's so freaking cold but I'm one of those weirdos that gets energised by cold weather. Keeps me moving!
Zeke's Lunchbox I kinda like the burnt yellow colour haha! Maybe because I’m not as used to it. Yeah Melbourne is fantastic even in the cold weather! Are you having any shows coming up soon? I would love to see more of your work and would love to stop by and say hi! :) I need to make more artist friends here
Peace and Love...all the way from Oakland California, I just brought my first set of Holbein Goache...last week...and I must tell you...I’m in love with them..they’re so pigmented...🎨 also I’m using construction paper because of you ! I love your work ! Please keep up the great work ! 💜💜
Queen Nyoka oh wow!! That means so much to know I’ve influenced you. 😍 I was just in Cali, love it so much! Going to get some Holbein soon too. Looks delicious!
I’m glad you’re going to get some Holbein Gouache...I see that you like pink...so make sure to pick up this color called “ Opera . “ I promise you’ll love this color...I’m not really into pink but this color is amazing that I have a new found love for it...have a great day...I can’t wait to see what you come up with next...also ( off topic). My favorite animal lives in your country, it’s a koala 🐨. Can you do me a huge favor... ? The next time you see a koala can you film it for me please ? I will be forever grateful ! Peace and Love 💜💜💜
Awe that makes me sad 😔...zoo's are jails for animals in my opinion..maybe I'll illustrate this as it seems like great subject matter..I'll stop bugging now 😂 thanks for responding to my comments...have a great day !
whoop! this was fun to watch! I decided to learn about crystals along with you while watching this video! i am.... very confused an very overwhelmed:"D one day i hope to be a little less confused on how to draw them :""")
Could you spell the name of the landscape painter (max? ) I tried Google and pinterest but came up with nothing! I love your style/ colors & everything. Really glad I found your channel;)
The crystals are amazing they look so dreamy. I'm studying crystals too they are difficult in a cluster I agree you get lost! Keep painting I love your style, check out happy d artist, she is really inspiring x

Zeke's Lunchbox you mentioned it was for a commissioned piece and that you needed to put the stairs in it that's why I was asking... I wasn't referring to TH-cam's rights I was referring to legal rights in general for using photographs by photographers in your paintings for sale there are a ton of websites with public domain photos for artists to use if you're interested I can share some of those.
Alex serra the staircase reference will be altered to a point where it will be unrecognisable to the original. So no copyright violation there either. The stair photo isn’t by Richard moss either.

I'm so glad I found this channel! You make beautiful art and your personality is amazing!
You have a stunning style and I love the bright colors you use
Crafty Jazzy thank you!!!
Window cat!!! I don't know why spotting a cat in the background gets me so excited. But it does.
Laura Gomez hehe you’re the first to comment about Gigi!
Aw, Gigi! She's so cute.

Omg please do much more of this series!!! I feel like it's going to really help my work as well. 😘
Shannon Duffy definitely! I enjoy it way too much and it feels really productive!
I recently found your channel about a week ago and I honestly love your work. Definitely one of my new fav artists on TH-cam!!
Yay! Thank you so much!!
I love your using bright beautiful colors! Thanks for sharing this, and hope.you and fam are safe, well, and blessed
Thank you! You too!
I love your headpiece! It really reminds me of a mermaid or a nymph 🧜🏼♀️✨
Super excited for this new series!
Zee Rodriguez me too!!
I've been in a creative rut since I finished my animation degree a few years ago and have been needing a kick to the butt to start doing work again.
This series is a bloody great idea, might do some a study sesh alongside this series to knock myself out of the rut :D
Yes!! Please do! I really hope to inspire to just make for the sake of it. It’s such a great release!
jvandalist also, I know exactly how that rut is, it’s brutal but I know you can push through.
I actually loved your landscape study as well as your crystal cluster. I thought you did a great job :) Love the idea of this new series! Can't wait for the next episode :)
Mandarins & Moonbeams wow!! Thank you so much! I still feel so rough with the landscapes but hope to find a good rhythm soon!
Love this type of video and I love you! I adore listening to you and your work is amazing. Also, that mermaid fin thingy on your ear is super neat! x
Thank you!! I got it at the Supanova con, still have yet to find other cool ear cuffs but I'm obsessed with this one!
I can already tell I’m going to love this series 💖🔥
Will definitely be rewatching and painting along when I have some extra time!
Alyssa Willis yay!! Thank you!!!

Great video, enjoyed it!
When I first started watercolor I started with crystals. I don’t know if that was the best idea, but whatever. They make me happy.
I can’t believe you went though the same roundabout path as I did. Granted, I took longer to realize, but I feel more hopeful now :)
both are so beautiful! glad to have found your channel!
Your history is so relatable!!! Thank you for this super nice video
I love the idea and I'm very keen for dis
Oooh i made a tattoo a few weeks ago based on one of those Richard Moss photos! That series is so freaking beautiful and I think you did a lovely job of rendering it impressionistically
Oh wow!! I'd love to see the tattoo! Thank you! Still trying to figure out my "style" when it comes to landscapes.
I totally get it! I feel like my style translates pretty effectively in drawings/paintings of objects and people because the level of detail gives me a lot to work with, but when drawing landscapes (especially real ones) even the tiniest details are just the impression of something far off in the distance, so if you stylize it it doesn't look like itself anymore? if that makes sense? a very long way of saying the struggle is real!

If you’re looking for inspiring landscapes, check out infrared photography. You’ll LOVE it. The colors are incredible. Pink fluffy trees!
Well this is a super relatable video!

Ah! Good luck! I did a totally different degree and chose a different path, I know a lot of people who do that actually!

I'm currently showing in VS Gallery in Richmond. I think that show runs for another week. Will keep you up to date with anything else. :)
I just found your channel and I love your colourful style 😄 Also you are stunning, how do you do your makeup?

Queen Nyoka great suggestions, thank you! You don’t often see koalas in the wild actually. I’ve only ever seen them in a zoo.
Awe that makes me sad 😔...zoo's are jails for animals in my opinion..maybe I'll illustrate this as it seems like great subject matter..I'll stop bugging now 😂 thanks for responding to my comments...have a great day !
I could just binge your channel allll day

Could you spell the name of the landscape painter (max? ) I tried Google and pinterest but came up with nothing! I love your style/ colors & everything. Really glad I found your channel;)
Courtney Craig his name is Max Berry @maxberry on IG 😊
You could do hand painted t-shirts and tote bags with your knowledge of textiles
You love pink😳.me too!
The crystals are amazing they look so dreamy. I'm studying crystals too they are difficult in a cluster I agree you get lost! Keep painting I love your style, check out happy d artist, she is really inspiring x
