How to use Google Earth as an art reference + Croatia speed paint!

Google Earth is a great way to learn about new places, but have you ever considered using it for your art? In this video, I show you how to use Google Earth to find references for your sketches and paintings, and share some of the tips and tricks I've learned throughout my challenge to paint every single country in the world.

This is great. I’ve been watching your TIKTOKS since you’ve started this challenge

[@JosieViolet]

That’s awesome! Thanks for following along 🙏

Really awesome painting. The first painting I gave away as a gift was using google street view of my girlfriend's childhood home. It's really useful for stuff like that, or if you want to practice painting a specific landmark. I've enjoyed painting cities with great architecture and google street view helps me when I can't travel there in person :)

Look forward to seeing how this develops.

I love this idea! Didn’t know you had a TH-cam channel! Waiting for you to get to my country!

I’m really excited for the finished project!!!

[@JosieViolet]

I wonder if I can finish it before the end of the year?? 🧐

[@noelladayekh658]

Josie Violet I think you could! You’re very talented and fast so I think you’d definitely finish it before the end of the year!! 😁

This was so cool to see your process and her you explain what it is you look for when you’re deciding what to paint! Also, I loved the selection of music is the background while you were painting. 10/10 vibes are immaculate ✌️😌

What about copyright ? The approval from the photographers if you use there photo's to make art from ? Thanks

[@gleamystar1926]

I wish you could tell what colors you used and what mixes you made. your work is very good

[@JosieViolet]

Thanks! On upcoming vids I’m planning on writing the colours I’m using on screen to make it easier 👌

[@PleinAirWashingtonArtist-cx3vt]

Is using google earth ok in terms of copyright?

[@lochster8887]

First

[@comette4u]

Are you at all concerned with copyright issues? Hopefully, the original photographers will be flattered by your art project, (until you hit a few thousand subscribers and they insist on getting what they are due!)
