I suffer from migraines, too, and totally relate to your jumbled brain. That said, you are an amazing artist and I really enjoy your tutorials, and your sense of humor. Thank you for rising out from the migraine the fog and creating an amazing piece of art to share.

BOB ROSS‼️ Bless his kind heart❤️ because of him I lost my fear of that big wht canvas. Thank U for acknowledging him.

Stunning painting, thank you for showing the whole process

Ohmigollygosh! Your art and channel are the balm for my soul! I was frustrated planning art classes and chatting with my backyard raven yesterday, “I’m so restless, where will my art go?” He just laughed hoarsely. Then I found your channel! I’m an abstract realism junkie. Thank you! ❤

You’re fabulous! Love this video 😅 so creative! Love the painting ❤️

Mini me was not annoying and she really did have a good idea. Hope she visits again 😄 Love this painting. EAP would most likely approve.

I have no words how to describe my impression! Just love it, each your step! Thank you for sharing!!!

Hahaha! I didn’t read the title and kept hearing “paint a raisin”!

I love ravens and this painting is awsome. Your intro and outro was funny...yes I subscribed 😁

So cool. Your abstract work is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talents & creativity.

You’re just brilliant!!!! 😂❤😂🎉

Anneke Louw. First time ever seeing your art. I am blown away.

laughed out loud when you said...I'm not gonna paint any raisins.

Your videos are so fun! Thank you for sharing your talent!

I was unsubscribed somehow and so glad I found you again.

love the raven painting....... i came to look at one of your videos ... ive now watched 4 ... thanks great videos love it...

Wow this is incredible

The blues and purples on the raven make it seem really magical. Very cool. I love your inner voice and hope she pops in sometimes. She's very cheeky, though, and I hope she got a little bit of paint on her butt. Mine is terribly cheeky, too. She thinks she's always right.

I love it. I love Ravens. You're so so inspiring. I love painting myself. Thanks for sharing your work ❤ its cool

Your fun and an awesome artist 🎉

Geweldig👌👌👏👍🇱🇺

Poe would be so proud. Love your humor and inner voice, you can do it all❤

seriously gorgeous

My grandson and I enjoyed your past videos and the Raven. He was truely impressed by your death stars and characters. He loved your Bob Ross cup. We talked about your talents and how enjoyable your humor and talent is. Thanks for taking the time to create the joy of art in your videos and sharing various ways of painting.

Love your banter 😂😂😂

your videos are sooo hilarious!! :) I love your sense of humor!!!

I just found you! Love your videos… I like your style. You’ve got a new subscriber. 💜

Hi Lydia, I just found you because I saw the raven! Like you, I adore all the corvids, but these magical birds are my favourites. I'm so lucky because my little house in the north of England is directly opposite a great big hilly field, large woods and a little stream so I spend a lot of time watching our jackdaws, magpies, crows and ravens squabbling happily together, and chasing away an army of other native British birds and squirrels, who seem to think they have the right to share in the fun. I love your artwork very, very much, you are extremely talented and I think you must have worked so hard o develop it so beautifully. I also love your sense of humour, so dry and witty. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos! SUBSCRIBED! 🤩

I just painted a raven. His beak ended up looking like a toucan's. But i still really love him 😍

Great paint’g. I’m a birder, determan’g size is difficult but look at the tail. Crow has flat squared off shape, Rav’ has a definite curved tail, like a spoon❤. 🐦🦅🦉

Love it.

Hehehe, first of all I love the inner voice 😁😹. Wonderful painting! I love all predatory birds and animals instinctively. Something other worldly about Ravens though!! Magical ambience created by the textures and layering. As always, love it👌🏻💖💥

What an entertaining segue!

Amazing Raven 🐦‍⬛ This painting is very cool & thank you for the inspiration. The little you is funny & made me smile, thank you for sharing.

You do awesome work :) I met a raven at the Tower of London and I have to say I was quite intimidated by it the way it looked at me. I got the distinct impression it was smarter in every way than I think I am lol.

This is amazing!

you are such fun to watch, coool work

Omg thank you again 😅 a perfect way to start my day . Comedy with beautiful art work . ❤️

Poe .... raven ... nevermore ..... stunning painting 💙🖤

Holy smokes. I would never have been able to envision using so many steps and techniques to achieve this. I feel completely inadequate - it would be hard to replicate your beautiful work. I do have the good fortune to live in a forest full of Corvids. They convened by the hundreds to feast on a dead elk last year, thus also inadvertently helping to nab the poacher. (Who knows, it *could* have been intentional.)

Made my day! I know my inner voice was painting in my dreams last night over and over until I got it right! Ha I sure enjoy watching your talent and humor. My favorite Raven. We named our boat Raven and I think we need a raven on the back!

Beautiful painting. Beautiful mini lesson. Thanks!!!!!

I love that, Lydia. I think it is gorgeous and your colors are magnificent. I think it is amazing.

WOW!!! 😍

Brilliant video! Love the painting! Entertaining and unique. Subscribing right now!

Im à peintur to ! 🤣 the more funy intro on a art vidéo ! Beautiful result ! And thank you ! You make me laghf 🤣 with my cofee this morning ! I love crows ! Wonderful Day to you !😊

Way cool!!!

in our back yard in SE Phoenix valley, the easiest way to tell crows from ravens is that the crows travel in murders of 10-15, and the ravens are always in pairs. ours are barely larger than the crows. I wish they'd drive the pigeons (or as my brother calls them, "flying rats") away. Have you considered a ZipLoc bag for Miz Inner Voice? A couple sessions of "hmmm . . . would you call that cobalt or cerulean? what? no snide response? well let's just let in a LITTLE air . . . " might do her some good.

Great

OMG...I don't know what is more creative...your painting or your production. Plus, just your genius about you subject matter further illustrates your genius!! I have to admit I am kinda (WAY) obsessed. 😉 I follow several artists and I don't get more excited than when your "notification " pops up. (Well maybe maybe AS excited as pieces by Sergio Armanda) But your gifts are such a blessing to all watching. I do texture work...so this piece was super exciting. I am sooo sorry you suffer with migraines...they can be crippling. Oh, I forget where on a coast....STOP Michelle!

Inner voices can be bossy 😂, awesome raven! 🖤🤎🧡💛🖤

Love this!! Now I can’t stop watching your videos 😆. You’re very talented!

Love your personality

I just found your channel, This is the kind of art I want to learn. Abstract Realism. I also love crows. Very good videos. I like all kind of art and just started experimenting with oils. Great inspiration for me. Thank You.🤔📸

You are just my favourite 😁

🤣 your innervoice ... loving the proces and the painting again.

I like painting Ravens too... Nevermore quoth The Raven 😂

I love your art, and your videos are great, lol, hilarious, thanks for sharing

So goody goody.... 😊💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

❤❤❤

Your work is amazing and inspiring. Love your videos. Thanks

I'm sorry to hear about your unending battle with migraines...ugh 🤕. I hope you're relaxing (as much as possible, anyway). Love the video Lydia ❤. Those inner muses can be a little insufferable, can't they? Side-note: I was watching Beetlejuice recently (Tim Burton for the win), and something about the movie made me think of you...hmm, can't imagine what it was. 😅

Ravens will mingle and feed with groups of crows. I know because i feed them and watch it and have it on video. I also contacted the man who conducted the famous crow study and he confirmed this as well. The voice of a raven is also a distinguishing factor.

So funny!!!! 😅Great raven!!!

😂Little Lydia so magical 😅

I feel so sorry for you that you have to go through that painful migraine. Could it be due to all the chemical fumes from the paint and the paint media? If you during a migraine try to go outside for a couple of hours, and the migraine begins to ease off in the fresh air, it is very likely the headache is caused by the paint. That just means you should paint close to an open window in the future. Wishing you all the best. ❤❤❤

Wonderful technique and really entertaining. I think your channel is going to grow really fast. Saludos desde España.😊

I WANT TO PAINT LIKE YOU‼️ Raven is my son’s Spirit animal. I’ve been painting for years but can’t say I have a style. I can copy what I see but I don’t call that a style. I’m going to try to let go & play🥰 I’m 82 timefor something new🤪

❤

I like textures, and all kinds of movements in painting and but I wonder Way you talk about the Oil painting part. Do you realløn suddenly chance from ACRYLIC to Oil? But Nice Raben painting with an abstract, imaginary feeling 🎶🩵🧡🖤🎵

Beautiful art! And what a fun way you started adn ended the video. Great job! New subbie.

Awesome! ❤️

Super , die innere Stimme ist so cool 😂 Ich habe auch oft eine Mal Blockade. Die abstrakten Hintergründe gefallen mir sehr , die Ideen mit Collage finde ich richtig Klasse . Malen sie mit Acryl und Öl ? Ihre Bilder sind ganz grosse Klasse 👍

This is the painting I meant to leave the comment about living up north with ravens on. It’s a stunning painting.

That inner voice is much squeakier than your normal voice! It must be the result of migraines… You never had that high voice even as a small child! I did laugh out loud. I really like the painting… I think it would look nice on my wall!

Ha, I thought you said a RAISIN...thank goodness it was a RAVEN instead. :)

I looove your paintings and your style! Can I ask, why do you also use oils in your focal point? Do you varnish your work afterwards? If so, what do you use for that?

Love this, Lydia. It's awesome to see the process from start to finish. Do you have a Patreon or anything like that?

Where do you get your stencils ? I’m trying to do a picture like yours for my nephew who’s a singer. I wanted to spray music notes on the canvas but not sure about the stencils..

You probably shouldn't read Poe before bed anymore.

😂 that painting is amazing . Great video hunny keep them coming.
