Filled up 2 sketchbooks while studying in Italy for a month, let me show you what I've got! Watercolor, pencil, and a little bit of pen. Getting loose and sketchy and not overthinking things (most of the time).

Peter, you look fantastic! You look fit and healthy, your skin has seen some sun but not too much, and you look relaxed. I think some stress has left your face. How wonderful! I'm glad you got to go on such an awesome trip.

Hello Peter, you don't know me, and I only know you through your videos. But I am compelled to express my appreciation for you. Today, I almost drowned in my deep sorrow of depression, and I couldn't feel hope. In an attempt to distract myself, I chose to watch something, anything on you tube. As one of my few subscriptions, you came up, and I clicked, I listened, I watched...I actually smiled. I want you to realize that your voice, your thoughts, your art saved my life today.

Peter, those drain pipe "mufflers" are U traps. It keeps the smell from the sewer from rising out of the top of the pipe. Water sits in the U to make a air seal.

I so relate to your comment about the cathedral...it was years and years of someone else's work why does it have to be hours and hours of mine?! I feel that way alot. I get overwhelmed but really love architecture. So I draw small pieces like doorways, or drain pipes!!! Good to see you back!!! 💖

Hullo Peter, A real quick comment. I was watching a video over on Sarah Burns Studio's channel and she was doing a tree and after she put down her paint she was unhappy with the texture, so she went right back over her paint! You expressed some unhappiness with your tree in this video and I just wanted to relay this idea and possible solution to your troubles with the tree! She used pen and pencil! Good Luck Sir!

You went at it full on , your classmate looks like van gogh Brian has too many lines lines add years,the sleeping guy and the last Alex looked more real αληθοφανές , you got really busy bravo would have loved taking a purpose trip like that, makes for a leap if the practice time reflects it's purpose. Bravo Mister Peter

Sounds like you had a wonderful time Peter. Thanks for sharing your sketchbooks, they're impressive & inspiring. I'm attempting to draw with my left non-dominant hand as my right wrist is broken and in plaster. Your loose gestural sketches encourage me to free up and stop niggling.

Peter, so glad you got to spend a month studying in Florence, an absolutely gorgeous city, and visited Siena, and all the things! I'm half italian and have been lucky enough to visit Italy and have visited Florence and the surrounding areas several times. Looking forward to seeing how it influences your work.

@mjpete27 12 күн бұрын

Hullo Peter, I enjoyed seeing your work from your trip! Portraits are the supreme test of skills, especially done live! Having a subject that is easy going can be a tremendous confidence boost too! Finding a likeness is very difficult too, as most people only see themselves in a mirror! Including ourselves. Thanks for sharing Peter this is a wonderful video. I look forward to seeing how this changes your art going forward.

Architecture student from Florence here (my university os very close to Piazza Ciompi actually). It's so cool watching you talk about the city I've been living in for the last few years! I just realized how many things and details I now take for granted and don't notice anymore. Watching your sketchbooks was like reliving the city for the first time again simply an irreplaceable experience, and it was so fun trying to guess the monument before you talked about it! As always, love your drawings. Love from Florence, ❤

Peter, thank you for sharing your adventures! It's very inspirational. I recently moved to northern Spain and started sketching from life, very challenging especially architecture. Concerning lifestyle - in Spain people also stay late, especially on the south, where it's hot, they take big lunch break (even stores), about for 2 hours, and go to bed after midnight. Love your sketches!

🚲 “…lemme do it blue, because I can and because I want to.” 👍🏼 Your artwork is beautiful; you have a gift for drawing and painting birds. Amazing! Thank you for sharing the story about the kind man who took care to move the crow. I know what you mean about dead animals. Whenever I find them I’ll use gloves, or grass and move them to a nicer spot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No. You hang up 😂
