Dude, that's a cool piece of art! I just had deep brain surgery, and art is my therapy.....brings back my memory. I'm grateful for the surgeons that were able to save my life.
I am obsessed with your channel. I love your voiceovers and your comedy keeps me laughing. Your art is also so inspiring. Thank you for the wonderful content. Keep it coming.
Gratitude is a daily experience. I love my life, even the not so great moments, because it just makes the good stuff that much more appreciated. "Pig people" and "two stomachs" Lol. Thank you for sharing about the acrylic pens. I think I need those in my life because I tend to paint the way I draw. The plus side, too, is that no paint is wasted nor does it end up in the water system, wrecking the water as well as gunking up our pipes (there is a way to separate acrylic paints from water before pouring it down the drain, though).
Happy Tuesday! I was helping a sick friend for a few days, so I'm late with my comments. I love the painting! Attitude of gratitude is world-changing. Very important especially for those who suffer anxiety. I love listening to you. I love your art. Stay well! Keep making art! :D
@@IllustrationsByPete i've dabbled in drawing for a few years now (came to it late after retirement) and have often thought about getting some acrylic paints; i didn't realise acrylic pens were even a thing until i saw this video. Just got myself a set of acrylic marker pens here in the UK by ANYUKE which are double-ended, one end being a brush, the other more like a felt tip - they're wonderful and ridiculously good value; thanks again for the video
I took the plunge and purchased two sets from the US (the shipping and customs made them quite pricey!) and the colours are just absolutely beautiful. But. But. Of all the brands I've tried (posca, magi, flysea, zibeef, languo etc) these are the only ones I can't use with other acrylics. Something about them just reactivates and turns to goop and lifts off the canvas when layering ANY other acrylic marker or paint on top. Sucks so much! And on canvas they lay sort of.... Like a solid flat goop layer instead of being able to see the texture of the canvas like with any other acrylic marker or paint I've used. I don't understand why they behave so differently :( I have 2 posca colours (beige and green) that want to lift too but the majority of the posca range are fine with layering with other brands. Anyways. Lovely artwork! And thank you for sharing this video!
Thank you! I have not tried to go over them with anything other than ink and I was able to do that without noticing anything but I'm using clay board here so it dries almost instantly. I don't know if you've ever used it before but it sucks the moisture right out of any medium you put on it. . That is very interesting. Thank you for the info.
@@IllustrationsByPete I tried to do it the other way around today where I went over a posca section with some tooli, when using a small brush to spread the extra tooli ink that had come out, it reacted with the posca and the posca wanted to lift, I tried another brand over the posca and it was fine, as well as acrylic paint from a tube, all fine. Very odd! Must be something different in the tooli formula. I think with a clay board maybe I'd have better luck, I'll try that! Thank you!
It's almost like there is some type of solvent in it. I wonder if these are oil based acrylic paint markers and not water based. Thanks for the update. 👍🏻
I already did! No, I’m kidding! I end my day *that* way, too. In the morning, I’m grateful too, more for being happy about painting and knitting and gardening and all the other great stuff I can be grateful for being able to do, even though I don’t get around much anymore!
I would definitely not leave any artwork in the sun. All of it will eventually fade. Light-fast ratings are based on museum conditions. Even the best light-fast ratings that are rated for 100 yrs would not last 100 yrs when hung up on a wall in a brightly lit room with a lot of sun coming in through the windows. Maybe 70 yrs but not the full 100 designated by the testing.

Thank you! I'm glad they were able to help you. Keep creating.

I agree, gratitude should be in the front of our minds, even in a struggle.
I hope you enjoy the pens. They are great and less wasteful.

Hi Linda! I hope your friend feels better. Thank you for all your support. I'll keep making it if you keep watching it. 😉
@@IllustrationsByPete It's a deal!!! LOL Have a great week!
You too!
I came here for a review and got pure comedy as a bonus. You are hilarious and a great artist!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this. I appreciate you. 🙂
I haven't heard of these markers before. Will keep an eye out for them. Having an attitude of gratitude is spot on. Love your art.
Thank you! It sets the tone for my day. 🙂
underrated channel
subbed
wishing you all the best for the year ahead
Thank you! Welcome to the channel. I appreciate the support. I wish you the same. 🙂

I'm glad you enjoy them. They are great because you can paint on all sorts of things including tile, rocks, and wood. I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Someone has a viton mixing your own paint marker refill paint and refilling them. I haven't run out yet, but that sounds great.
That sounds wonderful. I'll have to look into that. Thank you! 👍🏻
I love Tooliart , alternative for posca, cheaper version. Love your channel ❤️
Thank you. They seem like a great paint pen.
You can buy them individually (now)!
That's great news! Thanks. 👍🏻

aw, thanks for the smile today :) we are currently being covered in a layer of ice... good day to draw and paint ;)
Ugh, I've felt that pain before. Not fun. I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
The description on Amazon says they’re lightfast. Love the painting!
Thank you. I missed that.
Test it to be sure. Because for the price i doubt it.
I appreciate you for posting this video. The reminder to start the day remembering your blessings and being grateful truly helped me today 4-12-24.
I'm so glad I could help. Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate you. 🙂
I already did! No, I’m kidding!
I end my day *that* way, too. In the morning, I’m grateful too, more for being happy about painting and knitting and gardening and all the other great stuff I can be grateful for being able to do, even though I don’t get around much anymore!
That's important. 🙂
The paint is lightfast so that you can leave it outdoors in the sun without worrying about them fadin
I would definitely not leave any artwork in the sun. All of it will eventually fade. Light-fast ratings are based on museum conditions.

Beautiful ‼️‼️‼️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this. 🙂
Man I'm craving a BBQ plate!
Are those medium or xf point?
Lol. They are mediums. I hope you get some BBQ.
When you find someone who does the second stomach thing let me know. I'm all for it!
You got it!
You cracked me up!
Glad I can make you smile. 🙂
Nice
Thank you! 🙂
