Hi, Jamie. Your videos are always so informative and a wonderful reminder at the lengths you go to during your creative process. In the days of TH-cam that we live in with many videos being fast tracked, we often forget (or don't realize) that creating detailed masterpieces such as your work takes many (MANY!) hours to achieve. I can tell how much you love the process and it is evident in the time and care you spend on each element. Thank you as always for sharing your process with us. Much appreciation.
@@JamieBoots May I ask a question? I hope it isn't being impertinent. Is this your full-time work? I ask because I have been doing art for a living for over 30 years and I find it difficult to have time to do personal art sometimes. I realize that these beautiful drawings are mostly commissions, but I was wondering if this was your main living. I am so slow creating my detailed artwork that I am not able to do that for income. Your work is amazing.
@SheilaLandry I have been full time for about twenty years but it is a hard business as pictures take so long to do. I do run classes as this provides more stability as we'll as prints of my and have an agent/publisher who deals with that side of the business. Sadly in the UK this market is not good at the moment and most exhibitions have disappeared over the past few years. I fo feel privileged to be able to make a living from what I enjoy. Thak you so much for your kind words about my work it is appreciated.
@@JamieBoots I just now realized that you were on Skillshare. I joined up there last month. It is pretty ambitious of me to think I will be able to do lots of classes there - Boy! There are a LOT! - but there were a few of the artists I follow that use that platform and I want to support them. I will enjoy going through your classes there and I hope over the year to maybe be able to try one instead of just watching (although I learn a lot from you watching, too!) Thank you again. :)
@@SheilaLandry I think I have four classes on Skillshare at the moment and am just about to start work on another one. There are lots of artists and lots of different techniques to learn and everyone is willing to give advice.
I've been patiently waiting for your next video and here it is. The drawing looks amazing already on this stage, but as always I'll be patiently waiting for the final result. Patience is the essence of drawing, isn't it? :)
Great work Jamie. Looking forward to seeing it completed.
Thank you so much and glad you like the picture
Hi Jamie great to see you are still demonstrating hope you are both well xx

That's so nice to hear thank you. I think the picture has taken about 4 months to get to this point but a lot more still to be done.
