In this video, I use the new Viviva watercolor sheets and watercolor sketchbook that are in collaboration with Inktober. I’ve been friends with Aditya, the co-owner of Viviva, since before their original campaign went viral and I have always supported his endeavors.
I agreed to feature his new products before the Jake Parker scandal hit. Although, yes, I was going to feature his products, due to my new hectic schedule, I wasn’t going to be participating in the Viviva Inktober.
I featured Aditya’s products in this video because Aditya is my friend and I support him. I made a promise to do the feature before the scandal hit. It’s really as simple as that.
Viviva went through with the launch, I’m assuming, because it would probably be a large financial loss if they didn’t. They’re a small art company based out of India and they employ a handful of local women. I’m not sure what kind of damage a loss like that would cause, especially now with the pandemic in full swing. I’m absolutely not going to damn them for not immediately walking away from the collab.
As for my general opinion on the Inktober debacle, here it is:
After watching both Ethan Becker’s and Alphonso Dunn’s videos, I’m not sure exactly where to stand on the issue. Initially, the evidence of plagiarism was very strong, mostly in terms of formatting and example choices. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t slightly suspicious because a lot of the things Alphonso claims are being plagiarized from his book are things I’ve seen in a lot of other art books.
After Ethan’s very well researched video came out, it put me even more on the fence. I just don’t know at this point and I’m trying to be better about not blindly jumping on the “hate train”, as I’ve been guilty of that before. I’m trying to take a step back and be more objective and wait until more information is available.
Will I be participating in Inktober? No, but I wasn’t planning to in the first place. Due to the pandemic, I, like many, have had to don a bunch of hats simultaneously in order to keep my family going. Mainly trying to be full time mom with new baby and toddler, housekeeper, cook, and full time worker both online and off. It’s a lot on my plate, so Inktober or any prompt list was not in the cards for me. (Though I started making an “Artful October” prompt list of my own for next year when I CAN participate)

You mentioned in your video that the Viviva watercolor worked like ink. Is there an ink content to it or is it a true watercolor, just heavily pigmented?
I applaud your caution. More people need to look before they leap. I, too, am on the fence with the whole affair between Mr Parker and Mr Dunn. I try not to take a side when it is impossible to know ALL the facts about something.
Thank you for posting. Your videos are fun, funny, inspirational and hopeful. All things desperately needed in these weird times. I hope you and your loved ones are healthy and prosperous during this massively eff'd up year.
.
milo14564 I’m not sure the contents because their formula is a secret, I’m pretty sure. I’m not sure if they still consider it so, but I can’t find any pigment info on their official site.
woah I'm from India and I had no idea that this brand existed until now. the product concept sounds great though! I might give it a try!! OH, AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT I FREAKING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!
@@emilyartful Thank you. I'm curious to try them. Your videos inspired me to learn how to paint and watercolour looks fun and challenging. I've been playing with the Prima line, but I'm curious about other brands, as well.
Above all, what I want to thank you for from this comment is that you openly say something about the “hate train” that is causing the toxic thing of “cancel culture”. Thank you for telling people that you’re waiting for more information before making a full decision. I hope that others will see you doing this and decide to do the same. 💜💜💜
the whole video i could imagine Emily setting up the camera for a nice shot then after walking running back to grab the camera
HAHAHA! Watching back the footage was hard for me!!! Thank God not many people were there, yikes!
Imagine your enjoying a nice hike and then you see a girl with a large backpack and a hat walking in a line, stopping, then running back to her original position.
HHHHHHHHHH
Oh gosh that’s funny 😂
@@emilyartful Lol, You should bring someone with you. It'd be easy to cover more ground and capture some stunning moments {outdoors is magicallll). Plus you won't have to go back.
(It gets better when you're trying to catch a dragonfly or someone falls in the stream😂🤣 now that's when shit gets real.)
We have “goth flowers” in our yard, there really pretty and pink until they lose their petals, then they get really black and dead looking. I’m definitely going to start calling them that
Hey Emily, hope that you are yours are all safe and snuggled.
This really shows how nature can be a remedy for mental health. Finding little animals, observing all of the plants and trees, or even just breathing the fresh air is such a good feeling everyone should experience if they can. ❤
It's forest bathing, or Shinrin Yoku. The only time I truly feel like I am "home" is when I am in nature
Yes! My bf and I moved to the city last year and he started having some increasingly bad panic attacks. I decided not too long ago to go buy a bunch of supplies and take him out for a little bit of a lunch date by our local lake. He said he instantly felt so much better and even though it was a few months ago he hasn't had a panic attack since. I think sometimes we just need to surround ourselves with nature for a few hours and just soak it all in. Even if we can't do it every day. Every little bit helps!
In reality the creator of the nature is the remedy 🙌
@@Aplomb1972 indeed 🥰☝️🐦🌹
💯 agree
Very pleased you will talk about safety. Often people don’t think about this. Also thanks for talking about not throwing the water back into nature.
Yes, both of those were important considerations. And I love that Emily painted a frog. I love frogs
I never thought about that, not dumping paint water, but you are right. A lot of the more vibrant colors have poisonous components to them, like I know many blues have cyanide. Thanks for the tip!
I loved how you blurred out your “bad” painting, it made me laugh. Watching artists on TH-cam, it’s easy to forget that they make mistakes too, but I’ve always admired how you purposefully include them and point them out. Your self-critiques and sense of humor about mistakes helps me remember that your art doesn’t have to be 100% perfect to be awesome. I’m a huge perfectionist and I have a bad habit of destroying anything that isn’t “perfect”. Thank you for showing your amazing art, mistakes and all, it never ceases to inspire me!
Ok. Dont hate me! I used to dump my dirty paint water into the dirt since I like to paint/draw outdoors. I didnt think much of it before but now Emily reminded me so I will make sure never to do that again! Love you Emily!!!💖
Thank you for touching on, but not dwelling on, personal safety. I love how you've included it almost as part of your plein air painting kit! And I love how you included those little fun touches, like Honker Island, which show how an adult can keep the fun alive in art.
she missed the opportunity to say beeconomy
DAMMIT!
This all really reminds me of the first Life Is Strange game, the whole nature vibe and the acoustic guitar throughout the video brought back old memories of me playing the game for the first time. loved the experience of watching this :)
I genuinely love the soundtrack to that game 🥰
As a fellow midwesterner, thank you for pointing out that our states are in fact beautiful too!

I believe that this structure is built specially so one could look through the square hole(s) and observe various wetland birds from a distance. The idea is that you'd be more or less hidden from the bird's view so it wouldn't get spooked and fly away.
As you can see, each hole is placed at different heights so that people of all ages can have a go.
I'd presume that the idea of the square hole (rather than, say, a round one) is to give your camera a flat surface to rest against if you happen to be taking photos.
I could be wrong! But I'm like 99% sure. 😉🌸
I love this kind of content. It's been so hard for me lately to find truly calm content that still has narration and even audio, clear effort and production value, and no triggering or overly feel good messaging. I really felt like I was just spending time with you. Thank you, Emily ❤
In case you are looking for more videos - I can recommend the channel of Minnie Small for calm art related content. She does a lot of videos where she is drawing or painting and talking. I like to watch / listen to her videos while drawing - feels like you are drawing together with a friend in a shared studio :)
What a wonderful little hike I just went on with you! I am old and mostly housebound due to severe health issues so I live vicariously through videos such as this. Thank you for letting me tag along and love your little frog painting! You are such a delight, Emily. I really enjoy you and your art. Blessings to you, dear one.
the eagle scouts project wall thingy looks like an open bird hide/bird screen - they let you watch the birds and other animals without disturbing them
Her outfit reminds me of Marceline!
Omg yes!!!!
I’m glad somebody said it!
Knowing your past, its so nice to see you just vibing.
This really put emphasis on why we should protect the environment more. Mother Nature is so beautiful and majestic.
Emily, I'm glad you've taken time for yourself after having a new baby boy, but I'm also glad you're back. Ive missed your content so whole heartedly. I wish you nothing but the best for your family and your mental health.
The main reason I don't go out exploring alone. Can be scary and I wouldn't feel safe.
"Because she's on the _bank_ ... of the _wetland_ " 😂
Oh wow, I haven't drawn or painted outside in so long after having a kid of my own.
There's nothing like it
sitting and drawing outside listening to nothing but nature itself 💚
Oh hey! I live in Omaha! Safari park and Fontenelle have some trails, Fontenelle is more quiet, though.
Definitely going to do Fontanelle soon! Also I’m dying to head to Louisville and go to Platte River State Park! It’ll be a family outing, for sure.
I love how your art really shows how much you've grown as a person, a mother, a wife, and as a fulltime art youtuber at the same time, you really inspire me to do more and never give up on what i can do.
All of your videos are so serene
This video has inspired me to find some woods somewhere to walk through, i live in Yorkshire so I dont have access to these types of hiking trails, but maybe I'll wander through the big cemetery
Today I decided to skate to my local bushland area to have some outdoor "me time". I sat surrounded by all the spring wildflowers and just did some sketches of my favourite characters and the flowers. It was so gorgeous I'd love to do that more.
God that felt like an old PBS show. I loved every second 😍
I love the shots of her walking away. I mean, she had to set down her camera, walk away, and then come back for it 😂
That’s all part of you tube, right? Love her videos as well.
I wish I could find a nice spot outdoors to relax and draw. We have a Japanese garden in my town, but you have to pay and people are always walking around. Not really a trail or park like this. Love the video!
Is it weird that I see Emily as like an art mom or like a big sister who worries and gives you advice on a really funny but still seriouse way. I love listening to her talk, I think she's a really incredible person.
A perfect start for my birthday! Emily is posting again! 😍
Happy birthdaiii
@@rebeccah4237 thank you! :)
happy birthdayyyy
Happy birthday!!
Happy b day
Hikes are amazing, aren't they? Doesn't have to be crazy vigorous, just beautiful nature, and quiet. I'm hoping to go for one this week. Won't paint, but will take photographs.
I am so excited and I can't even watch it yet XD! Emily was the very person who inspired me to start my channel and my watercolors :)
You’re artwork looks really good !!
Lilly Potter Thank you so much!!
same~!
Cool beans!!
The tip that you gave about bringing an extra bottle for dirty paint water is so great 💕 i always found it quite confusing where one should throw their dirty paint water when painting outside in an area such as the one in this video. I dont really paint outside, but this is such a thoughtful tip for those who do 👍👍
Sidenote: the part about the guy that surprised you is lowkey scary. I dunno if its just my random spikes of anxiety, but that situation could've been really scary if they were actually a bad person...
I'm just glad it was a guy and not a cougar or bear! I dont know which I'd be more scared of actually...
This gave me so much serotonin. I love you so dearly, Emily. Thank you.
I love your insight and how you share things with us, be it your experience, feelings, or just tips. I really hope you never feel like you have to justify any of that when you do share with us. Side note, that neckpiece you have on is so cute.
This was beautifully edited. It was relaxing and I felt like I went on a little adventure with you 💜. Glad you're taking time for yourself and doing things for you again! I had really bad ppd after my son and it's been nice finally feeling like myself again too.
Ah honker island of the Canadian geese, sounds like us Canadians would probably fit in just nice there.
Thanks for this video Emily! I love hiking and art and when I'm not hiking, I love watching other people do it. Beautiful work!
Great video - I hope you do more showing us the natural areas around your home.
That being said, there isn't a woman on earth who can't relate to your discomfort when the man startled you. Guys, this is the female reality. We have to be perpetually on guard and conscious of our surroundings to keep ourselves safe. It really sucks. Thank you, Emily, for addressing it here.
Thank you also for pointing out the importance of taking everything with you when you leave, even your paint water.
Love that frog! I hope you're feeling better.
When she said "local bee economy" that was a PERFECT opportunity to say local beeconomy😔😔
Emily! I believe the red plant you found was a sumac tree. They have little hairy berry pods, when dried you can use the lil fuzz bits for seasoning, or steeped in water for a lemonade like drink. They're tart and delicious. I love them.
Have a rad day! Thanks for the videos 💛
Why does this give me coraline vibes.
Where did you get that bag? It’s such a good size for art supplies
Target! I saw it and loved it while shopping with my mom and she bought it for me for my birthday. 💕
Thank you for sharing :)
This video helped calm me down from my anxiety. Thank you, this shows that nature really is therapeutic
This had the same feel to it as a Bob Ross episode. Love it, please do more like this.
It’s important for *everyone* to make time for yourself and I’m so glad to see you doing so! It’s especially important after a drastic change in your life and, even without the addition of your youngest baby, I think this year of 2020 certainly counts on multiple parts. I hope you’ll be able to continue to make time to recharge yourself on a regular basis, even with everything else going on in your life. To you and your boys-yes, the adult, too (we never really fully escape childhood, do we?)-I wish good health.
I've never gone hiking, but this makes it looks like a really nice way to let off some steam.
Just wanted to say thank you, for just being you. You have inspired me to do so much like just being me, sharing my art with people, and to draw what I like to draw and not what other people like. Also, I hope that you and the kiddos are doing good, most importantly stay safe in these difficult and uncomfortable times.
awh after watching you video about the stalker creeps... made so much sense how that has been affecting you and you are extremely cautious when you are alone in places like this (which is also important)
It’s good to be honest about how you really feel, it’s good to be happy to be a mum, and it’s refreshing not to see toxic positivity about being a mum, it’s fricken hard! But it’s also fulfilling it has its good and challenging moments x
We are Emily’s Femilys... a fan base of support and encouragement 🎨💜
as always, I enjoyed your video immensely =) With bonus trees & plants & stuff this fell right into my favourite kind of vid & I still got to watch you paint & listen to your extreme common sense. You're an old soul Emily & I mean that as the highest compliment x
I recently moved from Nebraska, and watching this video made me really happy to remember how it looks in the autumn
Wbat an amazing place, and the weather looks perfect too. I'm so jealous.
After 3 hours of doing homework and studying, this video totally relaxed me! Thank you so much for being such a great inspiration
For some reason, your video reminded me when I use to watch pbs educational videos for kid educationally.
I live in council bluffs iowa and it’s feels nice knowing someone I look up too is so close by
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW GORGEOUS THIS WOMANS HAIR IS -
this is why i always bring my dog (lab/border collie mix) when i go hiking alone. she'd run away from danger without me without a second's thought, but her presence is a deterrent.
No dogs allowed at wetland sanctuaries, typically, otherwise Osa-girl would be with me! But that’s a great way to help you stay safe, absolutely!
@@emilyartful true. I didn't think of that. Im in florida so most places are open to dogs.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!!😃
Should've known Emily was a sassy ravenette 👏🏼💜
Your frog painting is golden!
Thank you for this video, I enjoyed watching the calming nature vibes and feeling that energy of drawing outdoors, it's something I haven't done in forever. Im really anxious rn and it helped just that slightest bit
I like when she leaves the photography deck... she's still wearing the broken sunglasses 😂😅 cute 😊😍
I always hike alone, I find company distracting to my art and I always feel like somehow they’re not enjoying the hike as much as I am so I feel like I’m on a time limit.
I always carry a knife and sometimes depending on my location or how long I plan to be out, a taser. Having a weapon or two puts me at ease so much more omg. And also awareness..
This is such a cool vlog! Hopefully I can do this someday too. Your videos have inspired me a great deal and it's nice to see you uploading new ones again. I'm always looking forward to it and have been rewatching your old ones. I absolutely love the frog painting at the end :)
Please do more videos like this Emily! I really love watching these kinds of videos, they are so beautiful and calming 😍 .. I live in the UK and we have some beautiful places to go out and paint, but at the moment the weather is very wet. Much love to you and your family, keep safe and keep awesome ❤❤ xxx
Chill bro! That froggy boi at the end was so cute!
mama artful is sooo beautiful 100% portrait worthy
That bright red plant I believe is a tree. I think it grows in my back yard. It is so beautiful in the fall.
You're a great source of inspiration to me. Stay healthy!
This was very calming and peaceful.
this video is exactly what i needed today, thanks emily. hope you and your family are staying safe during these tough times
absolutely adore this style of vids xx
Thats awesome and full of aspirations and motivation!!
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED, THANK YOU
Nature is almost as gorgeous as you 😄🌸
Yes please enjoy our Canadian cobra chickens. They hiss.
Emily this was so beautiful to see! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. It’s so good to see you taking time for yourself. Being a mommy is hard work but you’re an amazing woman so please don’t forget to take the time to care for yourself too.
We love you so much!
I loved this aesthetic of the video, but I loved thinking about behind the scenes.
I’m so hyped for this, definitely going to draw along with it :)
SAME high fivee🙌🙌
Rebeka Huszár ayyyy 🙌🙌 :)
I like sheets like these for a travel palette! I had some when I was a youngster (over 40 years ago) they are dye based and so fun to use! If you use the proper methods for framing and preservation your paintings will last for years.
I enjoyed this style of video. Thanks for touching on how to stay safe, I've never hiked alone before but plan to in the new year so this was a great reminder. ❤️
Oh this was full of beauty, sass and creativity!! Thank you :)
I hope you see this Emily, I loved this. I was sitting and sewing flowers while I listened and glanced up every once in awhile. It was really inspiring, I look forward to watching the next vlog.
This is such a sweet video, and I love that you spoke about safety too! ♥️
You are probably the best mom ever
I loved this! So chill and relaxing. You were one of my biggest inspirations when I first started watercolor and still are to this day. I love your work 💕
i come back to this channel i just love it so much.
Please keep the geese,they seem calmer there than here... They are scary as shit and have empty soulless eyes bent on human destruction. Every year they come to my area and you can’t even go to parks without geese surrounding you and hissing at you. Love from Canada
Ikr!!!
When they're down there, they're not raising goslings, so they're not nearly so aggressive as they are when they're up here :P
Would love to see more videos like this! Love the chill vibe
That was beautiful! Thank you for taking us along with you on such a peaceful journey.
All your videos are amazing. So can't wait for this one! Thanks for also inspiring me to do more of my art.
This is exactly what i needed. I have been having a hard mentally and the soothing tone of the video really helped me to feel calmer before bed. Thankyou
Dude you look so yound and beautifull but having a family and being so active and inspiring to others thanks for all the inspiring content
That was a lovely video. Wetlands are my favourite habitat too (the area where I live is technically one massive wetland) . I'm glad you had a nice day. 😊
That is so amazing! I love hiking too!
