Your landscapes give me goosebumps no matter how it turns out. Its the colors for me.
:')
YAYYY super excited for this! I’ve been listening to your podcast and you guys are so fun I fricken love your personality!! AND HAIR! It looks epic! Just like you 🌱🌱🌱🌱
THANK YOU 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
nooooo the broken ceramic breaks my heart. use DAP/caulk to fix it! it adheres strongly and is water/moldproof. just overfill the crack, wipe down the edges, and let it fully dry for 24 hours.
My sister went through similar allergy issues with her pup, where he was super itchy and would get hotspots all over, and removing all poultry from his diet worked like a dream! His vet let us know that some dogs are born with that allergy to chicken and turkey, but are totally fine with beef and salmon, etc. I don’t if this applies to Toadie’s situation, but I wanted to throw it out there just in case it resonates with anyone going through a similar dealio! Love your videos, Leigh, and I hope that Toadie feels better soon!! 💖
So good to see you looking more relaxed, you and James make a good team. Hugs. Hugs for Toadie and Hercules too. Love your landscape paintings, 😊💙🤗💛
This actually got me to do a bit of drawing in the middle of the video. I started learning to draw last month but have been really bad at keeping it a habit. This video got me to wanting to try and draw everyday for a month and see the improvements that are made. I'm only a beginner so I'm not setting my goals too high. I like what you said about creating art for yourself since that's what I see myself doing with art. If it develops into something more then I can look at it then. :) Love your content as always :)
Thanks and I love this!!!
i like how intense the background music got around 19:24! it made me feel focused and energetic while i watched the sketching process! very motivating and inspired moment ⭐️
My new born baby was sleeping good in my arms and I had a great time with you and other artists here. It was pretty good. Thanks a lot! Have an awesome day! Sending Love from Alaska (It's another windy and snowy day.)
ooo hello to you, your bebe, and Alaska!
James: I'm pretty chill nothing really gets to me
also James: MY CHAIR
and those landscapes 😍 truly yummy
Loooool
Yes! Living for that fall scene! Painting whatever you want is the best way to make the best art imo.
I've watched this specific video so many times, Leigh. It might be your most perfect vlog lol between the conversation of Toadie's gut, the cord breaking, the chair being shipped to Walmart, the palette breaking but then you fixed it, the amount of painting and drawing you do. It's like... PERFECT.
All of the paining makes me happy 😍 glad James helping you has been giving you more time to do things you enjoy!!
bruv i haven't drawn in months and that clip of you drawing the sword sparked something in me. thank youuuuu
you holding up the palette and saying its better than the art... exactly how i feel every time ive painted something. a used palette is just so beautiful and satisfying and comforting to look at
Words can not explain the amount of happiness toadie and lil herc bring me 😭
Hey, just a thought for your broken palette! If you look up something called Kintsugi, it's a Japanese method of fixing broken pottery/ceramics/etc with gold colored glue/ink stuff. It takes a flaw and makes it something really pretty! :)
Great video Leigh! I'm so glad James is helping you out and you seem less stressed than you were in recent past vlogs. Have a great weekend xoxo
I really love, love, your landscapes. Love the color combinations. I would so hang your paintings on my wall. I think I have twenty more of your videos to watch and I’ll be all caught up. 😁🙂🐰
I like seeing you and james together, the goofy and fun vibes are so fun!
Paint the crack gold like japanese people do, its called Kintsugi, i love the idea of repairing things and making it gold.
I gotta say...Painting/ Drawing > Packing in art Vlogs for me. I honestly FF through packing/ store stuff on all of my fav art vlogs because they seem to be heavier on that end these days. I LOVE to see you work on the art.
And Toadie. LOVES me some Toadie.
I agree with this!! Order packing is not that fun to watch!!!
Super stoked! I also have been watching the podcast...LOVE IT. You guys are hilarious! Now I have to set reminders for your videos AND the podcast! Happy Thanksgiving Leigh! 🦃
Glad you like both!!! :')
How good this vlog was omg. The last color palette hits so well with the autumn behind the window.
omg TOADIE what a cutie! My dog has allergies too and he gets a shot every year...he has no idea how fancy he is. Hope Toadie heals quickly! I loved the landscape paintings and they look so nice together (even though you hate them haha)
I love the painting of the fall foliage!! Such good vibes, makes me want to take a walk.
Watching you paint is soooo soothing and inspiring. I love gouache!
Aside from your work, i also love how you take good care of that cutie doggo. 💖💖
💖 the one with the pink underneath. Also, I always feel like my palette looks better than what I actually painted 🤦🏻♀️
I tend to overwork my art too. Something I like to do is scan my piece several times near the end of the process so if I overwork it, it's sad that the original isn't as good, but the prints will be good. For example, I scanned one of my paintings before I put glitter and some extra details on it and the glitter messed it up. The original is a bit sad but at least the prints are really nice because I have that scan from before I messed it up 🖌️
Oooo that makes sense!
I also recently realized I'm poop at explaining how to do something I need done 😅 don't sweat it too much, we all have shiz to work on! so glad you have someone you can trust and who seems like he is meeting you in the middle where your weaknesses and his strengths overlap. I think you will learn a lot from him. sending love! 💖
also, I yelled SAME about a hundred times during this. reworking a piece to death is my go to :/
AWWWW it has been so nice just watching this video in the morning before work! Such sunny and calm and happy energy! thx fot the video
I also overwork my paintings 😭 I don’t know when to stop
so nice to see you painting so much !!
Ok yes yes yes. I like that you like painting more too. This is exactly why I'm tuned in. Watching you pack orders? Nah. Watching you do artwork? Hellz yeah.
P.S. And a big thank you to James for helping. We likey.
aaaa the countdown art!!!!
Your videos are really soothing for the soul. Literally my favorite youtuber/creator
your fall scene painting is so gorgeous **o** !! also, I'm so glad you have some help that lets you time and reduces your stress (thanks to James for that!)!
Can’t wait for the art business video!!!
Hey Leigh
Re re-watching the vids and man, such good vibes 😎
I’m watching this with the biggest smile on my face!!! 😃 I look forward to your vlogs! Oh and the podcast is 🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU!
One of the best vlogs I've ever seen of you. Love it.
Can’t waiiiiiiiiit! Fingers crossed that there will be FROGGIES! 😊
I can't confirm or deny there will be froggies
@@LeighEllexson 😍😍😍😍
Just love you and your art and your videos im so Lucky to find you hugs from sweden😘🥰
Can't wait for the shopupdate, will definetly order!!
You seem so happy and excited in this video! Thanks for another great one 😄
My dog has 10 different allergies (food and environmental) so I feel you. He’s currently receiving immunotherapy injections as well as cytopoint injections. It has made a HUGE difference. If you can get it, I’d definitely recommend it.
interesting! I have learned so much about dog allergies since getting him it's nuts
one of mine gets cytopoint injections too, since her immune system is basically non-existent and she's allergic to Everything- it's wild how much can go wrong with such teeny little bodies 😔 hope your boy continues to have his allergies controlled and toadie finds his own rhythm too!
Loving your landscapes. They’re so unfussy and organic
YEEESSS to some colors and textures looking yummy!! I also have that with cotton yarn sometimes, some colors just look weirdly delicious. ^^
I love your landscape paintings!
Ooo, looking forward to the art business q&a video! sounds helpful! Thanks!
I love watching your vlogs❤️ You have such a fun and cool personality ☺️
Really really loving all your landscapes! So beautiful and inspiring!
'this song gets a lot more intense than i thought it would tbh' made me LOL
To be fair all the landscapes are stunning!
Watching your videos literally always makes me want to try gouache and every time I always get too afraid
Loved the artwork... Lil Herc Toadie in his travel pillow hope the vets sort out his problems Leigh it must be hard 💜🐾💜
Yesss new studio vlog!!! So happy and it's my off day!!!! So nice to be waking up late and watching a new vlog!! Cannot wait to get my November patreon print n sticker in the mail!!! Thanks Leigh 😁. Have a good day Leigh ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why but I thought of Dali and Gala when you mentioned the question prepping 8)
As a Boston terrier momma, I NEVER thought of a neck pillow for her fall time paw liking. We’ve got similar allergy problems over here 😰 5 years in and she’s still such an itchy baby
I loved this vlog so much!!
Yes another Leigh vlog!! I know exactly what you mean by “juicy” texture and colors 🤤 so happy for you bringing James in--I can’t explain shiiit too 🤣 it’s actually so hard!! Ps shout out to little Herc! 💙
Its so nice to see you happy and relaxed and painting a lot!💖
i know what art store you're talking about !!! i just went there with my friend:)
I LOVED this vlog - all that painting wow 😍 also felt the pleasure of peeling the sheet of paper out of that winsor and newton pad, I have the same one and it’s such a pleasure each time ahhh 🙏🏼💕 just started watching Seinfeld too whaaaat this vlog was so relatable also so glad you found the perfect helping hand and are able to create more art now ✨🌷
I reccomend paw balm to help with paw pad itchiness. Also antiitch shampoo/conditioner it really helpful. Some unsolicited advice from a dog groomer: he's likely allergic to some filler in the food. Dogs can be allergic to potatoes oatmeal even chicken :/ I reccomend hills science, acana, canidae or any food without any potential allergens. Make sure the first 3-5 ingredients are whole and that the rest of them are non allergens. Also wet food you can get in the refrigerated section that is totally just meat and veggies is ideal but SPENSIVE. Pumpkin helps the digestive tract calm down as well make sure it's actually just pumpkin without seasonings and sugar tho. If it's environmental he could benefit from an antihistamine but of course consult your vet.
Loving the landscapes! Also, the music in this vid is extra good. Jamming around 18:30!
when leigh tells you to drink water you do it. no excuses ♥
GOUACHE LOOKS YUMMY TO ME TOO AND ILL STAND BY THAT
love the brazilian style song
You can cut the bottom off of gouache tubes and get the dried paint out and reactivate it in a little pot if you feel like it :)
I have them all saved I will try it!
as a moo employee I can tell you we also miss the regular boxes. we keep running out of postcard packaging and its terrible
Hahaha I’m so glad we agree!!!!
way late to this video & i haven't been here since before the haircut and may i just say wowowowow
I came back to the video just to see ypur beautiful landscapes again! They are so peaceful! I'm actually going to sleep right now. And they really are soo peacefully beautiful!
I'm glad I found you through the online world!
(Btw, I just recieved a card, which with I can actually shop online. I also struggle with these things :,)...so I might be able to collect one of your paintings eventually 😊)
This video is FIRE 🔥!!!!!

Meaning I love this video and look forward to the podcast. Can’t wait for the shop update 😍😍😍 xo
yoooo westwood skateboarding shirt hell yeah
i could watch toadie for hours
Hi! I know you get a lot of messages like this but I just wanted to say that I’m so grateful I found your CZcams Chanel. You inspire me so much and you are a role model for me in art. I also love watching your vlogs while making art. I love your bubbly personality and thank you for being you.
Great video Leigh! I'm loving your landscapes & I just got my November postcard in the mail. It's so fantastic! Happy you found some admin help with James, I think that's why there is so much yummy painting footage in this video. 💕
i bean WAITING yay i love a cozy art vlog. also your hair is so good and watching your older vids before the haircut always catches me off guard now lol. the pixie cut just gives some type of *chefskiss* to your style!!!!!
also hi to james thx for doing all the shitty stuff leigh doesn't like doing lol
hahah thank you! I feel the same when I see picture of me with any hair.
Love your hair Leigh, I’m catching up on your vlogs and I thought I’d share a lil tip about knowing/not knowing if you’ve finished painting. If you aren’t sure if you’re done you can colour copy onto a goodish quality card and paint on that. Much easier than that is just taking a photo and open in Procreate and you can mess about to your hearts content.
That cat jacket is amazing
I stop when I know if I make a mistake, I’m going to be pissed or sad. Usually when it’s 95% what I want.
I had just watched that Seinfeld episode when I heard the audio...freaky~~~** Loved all the painting in this vid!!
When I think about what’s the right consistency for gouache I say to myself: it has to look yummy! Hahaha. Very cool vlog I really enjoyed it. Ps: I loved seeing you painting a little portrait.
I just got your stickers in the mail! Super cute!❤️
Leigh's hair getting shorter and shorter with every blog and they hardly mention it. It's like a non-bit I love it
Hehe so excited to watch this and for all the painting!!! :) 💜💜
Where did you get your big clear glasses?! Also, don’t ever stop making videos! You’re so much fun to watch and inspiring
Wear me pro !
You have the best pets so cute and funny....
I just finished my water 😌😌
was awesome Leigh!
LOVE THIS VIDEO
UGH ILY
not me worrying about you gluing your ceramic palette to your table lmao
working with James vlog or the vlog where random stuff gets broken 😜
Your cat jacket is amazing 🤩
Sending love ❤️ just got your stickers in the mail and now they are on my car ;)
yes they'll get to see the world!!!
James.
Update on the envelopes: My order travelled all the way to Germany and it came in perfect condition. The thank you print was not bent at all
Having your business in your home its the smart way to do it. Dont waste money on renting for a business used that money to pay your home.
19:13 why did i laugh so hard at this comment 😂😂
