I'm not sure about non-artists, but I think Autumn is by far the most loved season among artists:)

im unique, summer forever. ☀️autumn is far too cold for me. but my birthday is in autumn and i love birthdays so it does hold a special place in my heart. im just sad i cant be outside more ): i just have big sensory issues with cold, feels so bad and makes me miserable

@rimuruslime23 Жыл бұрын

@QUEERVEEART same. I'm in Tx, so Summer is too hot, and winter is too cold. That's why I love spring.

I'm thankful for a thoughtful, open edit on this video. I understand how difficult that vulnerability can be. You've inspired me to make sure I'm exploring with my media. I sometimes become frustrated when I find myself bearing into the process. Drawing is supposed to be fun. I need that reminder from time to time. 😅 I also need to hyu about tips for running your shop. Thanks again.

re: using the pastels in water soluble ways - I have found that this works best if you put down 1-2 colours lightly - before the paper gets thick with wax - and then go over it with water. I use them that way & it essentially makes them work pretty much like watercolour. once water has been added and the pigment has spread, they set like watercolour, too - it's also a great way to mix colours! I repeat this however often I want before going in dry and laying on thick :)

Possums and plushies! Wonderful!! Having a handcraft business is so much work. There isn't really a way to do other things while sewing. I do go through a lot of audiobooks and other listenable media tho.

i love your paintings, dont get me wrong. but your sketchbook work is truly what inspires me. the fact that you play around with a lot of materials and "dont know what youre doing (in your words) IS part of the charm of your style and youtube videos. ive never been able to stick with one or two types of art supplies. so it feels very validating that you use so many diff supplies and mediums cause thats ideal for me, i do that too ❤️

Something really nice about water soluble art supplies is that you can choose the area to apply to make them more saturated/light (depending on the material), which can be really useful for lighting effects! It's also just a great way to transition from a rough to smooth texture, or blend a bit better!

For me the best use for the "water soluble" part of water-soluble oil pastels is to use just plain water or sometimes watercolor to fix up smaller details that is more difficult to do with the pastels themselves. Idk if that's how it's supposed to be used lol but that's why I prefer water soluble ones over normal one (I don't like normal wax/oil pastels actually)

you addressed how media that you can't mix means you have to get a lot of colors: exactly why (alcohol) markers failed so hard for me and i prefer using watercolors as a substitute, although markers and pencils (everything that you have to get a large assortment of) is so QUICK and convenient UGH - what a dilemma
