Erika Lancaster Artist splendidly excellently superb fantastically superlatively outstanding

This is honestly one of THE most helpful art videos I’ve seen thank you so much!

GARCIAS mami✌️

Thank you for this video. This is a message I have delivered time and again. I am a sugar flower artist, and I am often told, "Oh you're so talented!" I always take this as the compliment it is meant to be, but I still don't like hearing it. I was not born with any artistic "talent" at all. What I achieve artistically is 100% the result of continual and deliberate study and learning, tons of practice, and long periods of trial-and-error. In other words, my creativity is solely the result of hard work. And this is fabulous news! Because it means that anyone and everyone can be creative and make art, whether they have any "talent" or not.

Another highly enjoyable video jam packed with important tips for aspiring artists. As always thank you so much for these videos!

Thank you for this as learning both & know what like painting “landscapes” but fear of lil trees (technique’s) just leave them out ☺️ but just practiced two pages of trees this morning!

Hi Erika! This was so helpful in determining my next steps along my artistic journey. I'm at a point where I need to get more creative in my watercolor art pieces.

Your painting was beautiful.

Thank you I’m starting WC and was looking for class I love and can’t wait to get started so glad I found this video.❤❤❤❤

Thanks👍🏻👍🏻

this was fantastic! now I know how to add depth! my line drawings always look flat. thanks so much for this..do u have a reference photo for this that we can see?

learned so much! thanks! you made it easy- well explained! I wonder thou, why do u need the grid if u can line up the corners with the center dot? also - if you are drawing a room without the ruler, it seems it would be much harder?? how do u without the ruler? as if u are sketching a room in a sketchbook..it is a matter of practice until you see it? thanks again...

This was so helpful Erika! thanks so much...I am not good at drawing perspective .I've been watching your videos and I finally get it! however, hard to apply when u are actually sketching..this video helped me " see" how it works..now I have to practice..hope u can do more like this...I want to sketch Plein air and its so hard..I love this street scene...going to give it a try..

Thank you.

So much fiddling just because of bad paper 😅 Use 100% cotton paper and you get better transitions/gradients without fiddling around over and over again the same areas

Thanks for sharing! 👍 👍

Yesss, being able to appreciate the little things through paying attention is such a powerful benefit. I can't believe how just walking around the same seemingly unchanged neighborhood listening and looking at the surroundings could actually be interesting and feel so good... To me the best things about art as a practice are seeing the world in a different way-with more depth, learning about the world and myself, and improving or maintaining the ability to be present in the moment. I started learning to draw & paint a year ago at age 30 kind of all of a sudden as I had never been interested in visual arts and I was TOTALLY clueless about anything related to it.

Erika thank you for all your videos and tutorials. I can agree with you that art ant kind of art is very therapeutic. I too used anything i could get my hands on growing to draw and create. I remember loving to draw garfield the cat with a simpke ball point pen and i just loved charcoal pencils for drawing. When it came time to go to college my family discouraged me from pursuing a career in it and insit on business classes like economics ir accounting. So i put my drawing skills aside until I started experiencing vision loss due to diabetic eye damage and started to fall into a deep depression. I remember going for a walk one sunny winter’s day and passing by a dollar store and passed by their art section and buying an oil pastel set and little oil paint kit with sine brushes and a cheap little kids watercolour set and drawing paper all for about $10 and using these products slowly got me out of my slump and found peace and joy and calm just from creating. Luckily i still have enough vision to be able to sketch and draw and paint in a bold expressive style. Fine details is way too difficult for me since i can no longer read fine print or details but bring able to express myself has litterally helped save my life and emvrace what i can still do instead of my limitations. Thank you again for all your inspiring videos on here.

Oh my goodness! This was fun. It’s so easy to say “oh I know all that stuff!” But then TRY it and find out how much has been forgotten. I’ve got paint splattered on the paper and my desk and me…and some even landed where it was supposed to go! Lol! Thanks so much Erika for these tutorials! 41:15

I have just found your channel and subbed. I envy people that can draw and paint so it a pleasure to watch you work 😎

What a comprehensive video!Thanks so much...God bless you!

Great topic especially when just beginning & maybe everyone wants your images truly critiqued (not to just friends) who often want to say nice things. Then others show your piece and make comment “your tiny birds looks like humans upside down bottoms 🥴) & didn’t feel good. When a artist like yourself (looks at whole image) & your tips are helpful & make me want to improve not quit as need a real artists view of things I don’t see. Tysm.

Cool! Thank you for sharing it❤

Very educational. Many thanks.

Absolutely love your instructions for the Yellow Rose. Went straight to SkillShare and there you are! So happy.
