Painting darker skin tones is a SKILL and you executed it so well! And that green background just makes her look so vibrant and alive ✨ Edit: Just finished the video and this piece literally took my breath away
Now THAT'S an interesting process!! Watching this piece come together starting from colors which looked really random, and ending up with what looks like a perfect likeness while you explained that your color choices are intentionally varied and also basically intuitive, was an education! Your homage to Ms. Bailey turned out really well, and I liked how you called out the movie's haters' idiotic racism for what it clearly was. The lime green background was a pretty bold choice, but you pulled it off.
Wow you really caught her likeness! Glad you enjoyed the film, I also thought the whole Ursula part was pretty disappointing too. I would never choose lime green as a background, but you know what, it looks fantastic and makes the whole piece pop 😍 maybe I gotta get myself a lime 😂✨
I love watching you work!!! How you work always just makes sense to me. I echo all the thoughts in the comment section about your brilliant use of color!!! Watching this coming together close up, it absolutely blew my mind when you panned out. Gorgeous work as always *__*
❤ it looks just like her! She's lively and beautiful. It was interesting hearing your thoughts as you painted this. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos 😊
Aren't Ampersand Claybord and Gessobord primed, cradled panels just about the best things ever? Great intuition selecting the yellow-green imprimatura- it perfectly evoked the impression of violet undertones without hyping up purple in the palette. We would not have guessed you self-directed your art education, but clearly, you've sought out the resources you need to bring your natural talent to its best advantage! And, we know you're a hard worker, too- formal education won't get you very far if you don't show up at the easel!
Every time I don't paint for a while I watch a vídeo of yours and the magic happens !!!! Sometimes is Just a fun draw on my sketchbook sometimes is a "masterpiece" 😂 Just Thank u for so much inspiration!!!! U are a boost of energy❤❤
your patreon rewards go so hard i am in love with july's painting (and sticker!!) too 😭🧡 **edit: ok i also am absolutely in love with the painting you made in this video UGH the neon green background is so good with her orange tone skin it contrasts so nicely and really just pops!!! makes me want to paint too
I always watch your videos when I eat breakfast, and know that I'm going to be majorly inspired! Love the chatty theme of your vlogs. Have you ever read the Artist's Way? Great for inspiration!!
It's perfect! ❤️ I love your portraits so much because of the vivid colors! I wish I could use them like you, but I always end up scared of overdo it with crazy colors, and the result is dull 😅 you really nailed this one! 👍
facing the fear is so fun!!! when i started using crazy colors it definitely felt really counterintuitive and weird, but over time it starts to come naturally!
I don’t mean to hate but you asked, so I don’t think the painting reads as her. It’s a good painting! I like the background and I think it looks very vibrant and interesting. I just don’t think the facial structure looks like her. It’s very pretty, though
yeah i agree i think it "looks like her" because obviously i told everyone who it's supposed to be, but i think on its own i don't know everyone would immediately recognize her. thanks your feedback!!
Do you have any advice on mixing skin tones I really struggle with it I just can wrap my head around how to do it I can colour match objects perfectly fine but never skin?
i generally don't hang my own work because i have very limited space right now (maybe one day when i have a whole house to decorate i will) so generally it all gets tucked away into a folder portfolio! for thicker things like this, it'll probably get put into a cabinet eventually
as i said in the video, the "private art teacher" didn't really do much teaching. i generally refer to myself as "mostly self taught," and i definitely didn't receive any formal art education.

This painting is soooo good ! I think we can really tell you had fun doing it, love that 🥰

Also, what is the green you used here? It’s wild, I love it!!!

I know I'm procrastinating when I'm this early to videos but do I regret it? DO I?
I was wondering how you store and keep all ur finished art work if it doesn’t go on a wall where is the best place to keep them ?

I watched Barbie 2day... they shudve casted u as the artist barbie
If you had a private art teacher then you aren't self taught 💀
as i said in the video, the "private art teacher" didn't really do much teaching. i generally refer to myself as "mostly self taught," and i definitely didn't receive any formal art education.
