    Love the painting. If you are ever in that position again where you are needed to collage and stick something like that down, do the glue part, and place it on the paper. Then gently turn it upside down and press from the backside so that you don't smudge the work on the front or accidentally smear glue over the work. I do this all the time when making collages. Glue, place, turn over and press from the back.

    Vacuuming it is a work out, I got a medical intervention once, and the doc told me, just don't do anything hard, just do your everyday chores and stuff just nothing extreme.
    So, having in mind what he told me I decided to vacuum, because, it's normal and definitely not extreme.
    Oh my... I felt like dying afterwards... like all my insides were about to fall out and I wanted to cry. Like he literally told me to live as if nothing happened, that I didn't need to stay in bed, and yet I could only rest for an entire day because I decided to vacuum for 20 minutes. So, that was fun.

    The reason I love in-progress pieces so much is because you can still see the potential of where it could go. 😂 I feel like that potential holds a lot of magic that fades away once you make your final decisions, lmao.

    omg Toady and James switching bodies really had me chuckling, excellent question. I loved watching you paint this session, I'm gearing up to do something on the weekend that pushes my use of color (I usually go for 'life like' color so watching you helps inspire me!)

  • @goghfurther

    for the larger pencils that you were unsure to sharpen…you can take an xacto knife and “wittle” it of sorts. Also love the vintage ceramic animals! I know it’s your thing but i love that you’re slowly adding to your collection 😊

    FYI the Staedtler pens are made to write on non-paper surfaces like CDs, plastic and the like - the non-permanent one is water soluble. We used them in school a lot, when we used those old-school overhead projectors with the images printed on see-through plastic sheets.

    i always come back to your channel whenever i’m in a bit of a slump, both mentally and artistically. but i wanna say i haven’t laughed so hard in a while hearing your answer about toady and james swapping bodies. i loved it. i’m laying in bed with a headache but drinking water and made a little charcuterie plate to snack and watch you paint. it’s winter now and i miss the sunlight so watching your summer vlogs is really soothing somehow. anyway love from washington state

    Thank you so much for talking about how you were faster than the people in your class, I've struggled with this a long time (still am) and hearing you say it really made me feel better. I've always had the same problem of finishing a painting faster than others and doubting if I did a good job, just based on the time it took me to do it. Also I love your vibe and aesthetic so much, you're an inspiration

    I still LOVE how the flower painting ended up! the way you saved that was PHENOMENAL 💕💕
    have you tried taking a picture of your painting with the white bg and then try to plan the background composition/colors on procreate? Maybe you'd like the end result if you plan it a little bit before committing to a paint color? i don't know painting so i'm just spitballing lol but i love your end results all the time anyway!! 💕💕

    @PaintedWit Před 2 lety +3

    I had the same problem with being too fast!! One thing I do when I feel like i might be in a stopping place is take a picture and then add things to it in procreate. That way I can explore other options (like if I want to add black lines or something) and see if I like it or not. Then I can go back and add it if I like it, but if not I haven't ruined my painting!!
    Hope this helps
