The Meriaki Meadow is becoming one of my favourite worlds to loose myself in when I am having a bad day. It makes me feel so cosy and comforted, like a warm hug from a grandmother or something 😅
Hi new sub here 🤗 tysm for this lovely vid! I was looking for a video abt how to start making an illustration & found yours (this particular vid) & im so grateful 🙌 i might go binge watch your vid this weekend, tysm again! And this illustration is soo cute. Love the colour pallette u chose ❤
Do you fear losing your lines? I love love love how the ice cream glass case turned out. The look of glass is something I struggle with. Love your videos
Not really! Oftentimes the lines get lost pretty quickly, so I kinda make things up as I go. 😅 Thank you so much!! I definitely struggle with glass too. Reflective surfaces are so tricky!
Soaking your paper also removes all of the sizing. Sizing can be beneficial or annoying. It creates a soft barrier between the paper and the paint. Sizing can keep your paint from "sinking" into the paper. Sizing is great for watercolor dry brush techniques. I do like it for gouache the way I work, but I can see how removing it works with your softer style.
Do you find this paint better than gauche? It is more opaque? How does it flow vs gauche? How is the drying time compared to acrylic or gauche? I would love to try this for my children's illustrations. Always looking for colors that are opaque and yet soft. Do you understand what I mean?
Hi there I'm an artist too. And I've mostly do watercolor paintings but recently decided to try out guache painting to switch ot up a bit. I'm trying to illustrate a picture I drew of a bear sitting on a stole in an old fashioned candy shop. I have my sketch all drawn out. And I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how I could fill the candy jars in the background. I have a gumball machine and it's looking good but I don't have a clue on how to paint such fine details for background subjects. So if you could send me some suggestions on how to paint them that would be great. Thanks again
Didn’t mean to imply that it was! 😊 Only that exploring and trying new techniques can help us hone in on the sketching/rendering/painting methods that work best for our own creative processes. And sometimes different pieces call for different processes, so it’s good to have those in our “creative tool belts”! 😊
Ohhhhh I love the idea of the underpainting so if the strokes don't overlap you won't see the white paper. Thats genius.
It really makes a HUGE difference!! 💛
This is giving me Zootopia vibes and I love it so much!
Ahh that makes me so happy!! Thank you 🥰

Oh my goodness, that warms my heart!! So, so glad you’ve found a home in the meadow 💛💛💛
Your texturing is really good of the different materials in the art work😊.
Thank you so much!! I LOVE painting different textures and materials 😊

Ohhh interesting!! I’m still learning about sizing (it’s a bit confusing for me 😅).

Honestly it’s about the same as gouache! Drying time, flow, opacity, it’s all very comparable. I use them interchangeably 😊
Your lettering is incredible . Which brush did you use?
Thank you!! I used a spotter brush for the lettering. 🥰
I have said it before your artwork, and the characters would please Beatrix Potter.

Whoops missed the start. I'll have to catch that later
Changing a style isn't an improvement.
