babyyyy i feel like the artschool made you so unsure in yourself, i feel that so much! but it also just makes us aware that there is so much more to learn and try and it's scary. but i watch youк videos and i see my insecurities and they suddenly feel so silly, like, just have fun ,it's not that important! i even thought to film myself like you to see myself like that. you really inspire myself not to beat myself down, because we are just insecure, it's not real

It's true, there's a saying "the more you know, the more you know you don't know" :) But she's gonna be great from pushing through, continuing to challenge herself. I for one actually really like the final painting! I can see why she didn't like t add the gazebo, but I feel like it was good practice so..... isn't that the point tbh

As an art student who has had to practise plein air art quite a lot, i will leave you some tips that really helped me. 1. Prepare multiple cardboard canvases in different sizes and do a wash of colour on most of them. That way when u go outside you dont feel restricted by your canvas and finding scenery becomes easier. 2. Use big brushes. Using big wide brushes increases your painting speed and takes away a bit of the control you have over every little detail, in turn giving your paintings fluidity. When painting nature you really shouldn’t add too many small details with tiny brushes, cause it makes the nature look stiff and frozen in time. 3. Experiment and paint spontaneously. Plein air painting can get quite messy and frustrating at times, so you shouldn’t approach it the same way you do studio paintings. Try out stuff, make mistakes, and dont spend too much time trying to fix your mistakes. 4. Spend enough time finding a spot that actually interests you. When i go outside to paint i more often than not choose to paint places that have interesting shadows or colour relfections. 5. Do many little 5 min paintings to warm yourself up before you start something in a big size. 6. Most importantly Prepare yourself for any accident and bring some snacks. Even tho it’s undeniably frustrating, Plein air can be a really fun and rewarding experience. Have fun, and good luck

Plein air painter here! One thing I do is that you can start with a two value sketch to get in the shadows before they disappear or shift! Definitely helps with keeping things consistent :) you think you know painting until you plein air and all that shit just yeets itself out the window BUT YOU DID AWESOME FOR YOUR FIRST TIME! keep it up

Lmaooo right

Plein air is fun and absolutely helpful to level up, but not painting in a familiar environment makes it feel like you're starting all over from square one. One thing that I think helps with plein air is painting smaller and knowing what you want to study before you open any tubes of paint. Do you want to study foliage shapes? Shadow shapes? Accurate colors? The light at a certain time of the day? Think of plein air painting as a playful, relaxing, outdoorsy way to study.

The phone turning off PLEASE ur the funniest person I know😭

ohhhh okay so this is actually a life or death battle with nature

live laugh love Camila🗣️🗣️❤️❤️

Exactly

Great work for a 1st time in the hot and sweaty plein air. Landscapes work well over a Burnt Sienna under painting. That gives you hints of orange and warmth.Starting at the horizon, the sky is often a paler Manganese Blue, then deepens as it rises to a light Ultramarine Blue with white and a hint of Alizaron Crimson to tone it down. Clouds are blends of pastel pinks, orchids and warm yellows. Always use complements to tone them down.

I don't want to give you unsolicited advice or anything, but I just wanted to say what I wish someone had said to me when I was a young artist: self-deprecation feels great, helps with impostor syndrome, makes you feel less embarrassed about putting yourself and your art out there, but the more you do it, the more you believe it. The more you say you suck, the more you'll feel you do. I'm not saying give up on the jokes or trying to read more into it than there is, but just know what helped for me was going in the opposite direction. Suddenly I was the greatest artist in the world. Every canvas was luckier just for being touched by me and every piece I didn't finish failed *me,* not the other way around. Obviously this is all light-hearted and not what I actually believe, but it really did help me feel less hopeless about my art and my improvement. Sorry if all of this was unhelpful, I know you didn't ask for it! I love your art. I hope you can keep having fun with it

It turned out really well! You did a great job capturing the light reflecting from the sun. I hope we'll get to see more of these in the future! 👏

omg you painted it sooo well, after braving the harsh heat, allergies, the highway, and the elements! 🌞

Hey Camila!! I haven't been able to draw for about 5 months ever since I've been put on medication (in which has caused me to loose ALL of my motivation (which is supposed to do the opposite), BUTT your videos are able to make me push through and keep drawing even if I have no motivation! Right now I'm trying to learn anatomy 😭 so if you have any tips on that kind of stuff please leave some :)

@caamileon

Ай бұрын

i Am not great with anatomy specifically but I’m glad u are finding joy in art again!!

IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!! Also I love listening to you talk about anything tbh

as a landscape painter, i like to approach trees, bushes, and objects as having characters of their own. maybe a tree in front of you have distinct twisty branches, or the bush has interesting colors in the lighting. usually, when i lean towards those things that interest me and it turns out better. also, i think for a lot plein air, painters like to treat things as abstract shapes b4 adding details- it's like drawing what you see and not identifying what you think it is (if u haven't yet, try squinting! it helps sometimes). for example, maybe you see a tree and think it's green but really, it's orange or brown. using "unexpected" colors can make things look a lot cooler imo. anyways good luck with your plein air jouney :)))

I love it! I was actually super happy when you put the gazebo in, I think it's a great textural element. Nice work! :)

you did great! and if the painting only taught you that you should have left the gazebo out of the up until then wonderful painting than you have learned the biggest lesson about plein air painting: you decide what's in the picture! you - are - free! (your values were great, too, worth all the sweating, the people stareing, the critters trying to eat away at you

OMG THE END RESULT LOOKS HEAVENLY

AH IM SO GLAD TO FINALLY WATCH YOU AGAIN, absolutely so hyped for you being off of school and (hopefully) more content🫰

You DO know how to paint. Thank you for being courageous in trying something new and voicing your process. Your humility is inspiring and I would guess most of us can relate. You are NOT a quitter 😅 and not insufferable. I love how you voice the fear in the process and keep going. Plus the bunny! and the blue sky matches your nails. sizzle gurl. sizzle

camilla i just want to say you inspired me to apply to art school. idk i always thought my art wasn't good enough but seeing you and other artists on here pursuing their dream made me want to push my insecurities aside. ty for doing the best you can it's inspiring :) now im going to my dream school in august yayy

You nailed this. Love your fun sense of humor.

i literally think you’re the funniest person ever i get so much joy watching your videos

THE QUEEN HAS POSTED 😍😍!!! congrats on finishing your first year at RISD 🥳 you worked so hard and I'm glad you're back home and able to relax more 🫶🫶

Your videos always give me motivation to draw

omg camila, the fit is so cute!!

IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD

That looks fabulous! I think plein air is always going to be a bit rough, because you're generally doing a painting/drawing in about 2 hours. There is a worldwide organization called Urban Sketchers that is just people getting together in a public space to art what they see. I forget where you live - Dallas? I'm positive they've got a group. I'm in Houston, and our group has meet-ups once or twice a month. In the summer they mostly choose indoor sites because of the heat. Most people in urban sketching either draw or use watercolor, but there isn't any kind of limit to what medium you use. I love to go because it's people of all levels of ability, and we usually have at least one kid present. I love to see all the different ways people approach a subject - what they focus on, what medium they use. Look them up, it's a lot of fun!

Don’t worry about complaining, it’s good for the soul. That painting is amazing by the way !

It turned out great! You did wonderfully.

YAYYY A NEW CAMILA VID ✊😛🎀‼️

It would be fun to see you try different art products again! Also maybe a watercolor video?

It looks really good. And the gazebo in the pics looks great.

You're too amazing 😭💓

It actually came out pretty great. You can definitely see the improvements!

Thank you, this motivated me to continue learn about colors

OMG IT'S SO SO SO PRETTY.

I think you did a great job. I couldn’t be out there in that heat. I’ve done plein air from my car. Love that AC!

I feel so seen with all the being affected by your environment. So thank you lol. The part about happiness was so funny. You're amazing!!!

you finally posted after so long😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 its 1 am here and you already made my whole day

Gorgeous painting! If you don’t already you should try and watch Landscape Artist of the Year and Portrait Artist of the Year. They’re shows we have here in Britain and I think some episodes might be around on KZread! It’s really fun to see different styles! And…not to knock anyone down because everyone has their own way but you could blow a bunch of them out of the water just on the instincts you have. The judges are generally really nice too so it’s a very wholesome show 😊

love your videos so much ♥️♥️♥️

Hello camila! I'm a painter just like you (except i don't know how to paint). I know this isn't great timing for a face tutorial, since you decided you want to get better at drawing landscapes, but i would really appreciate it! I would love you to show how perfectly match a shade and how to actually paint a face. Thank you!

YOUR BACKK LETS GOOO

It’s ok to be unsure of what you’re doing sometimes… and I love the gazebo being in the painting

Her editing humor never gets old, the moment she will change that Imma on gasp on my sit

I use a similar strategy to plein air- it’s basically the same but I don’t do it outside. I use my own references or collect references for a painting and sketch in paint, all freestyle, and build on it. Or, this isn’t plein air like at all, but another thing I’ll do is I’ll do a sketch and paint but I always do it freehand cuz it can help me when I do it in plein air .

you r so FUNNY 😭❤️ always looking forward to your post

YOU ATE THIS UP 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing first plein air painting.. for me it always feels overwhelming just figuring out where to start lol.. Can't always paint things in plein air the way they appear for the sake of field of depth, so I think the tree branch needs a little higher contrast and definition while the background slightly more muted colors and softer edges.. excited to see your progress!

You’re already goated and it’s so true

you should try to do the same landscape in a couple of months to see how you improved over the summer

I wish u would open a livestream pf u drawing outside that would be so fun and funny 😂😂

camila posting two times in a month AND while im painting omg YAY

1 I love your hair in the intro! 2 Not you painting better in plein air than me (I’ve been doing it for two months) but also I really recommend Paint Coach. He used oil paints but he has a lot of good tips for landscape painting (and he’s pretty fun too) 🥳🥳

being over chatty for no reason is so relatable

My favorite video you’ve done. You suffered for my amusement. Lol!

Your videos are awesome❤❤❤

One of my plans for this summer was to try this but its raining nearly everyday or me being lazy🥰

U slayed like the painting chefs kiss 😚 ♥♥♥♥♥🥳🥳🥳 :3

I also forget allergy/hayfever medication when I go out and my eyes feel like they’re going to explode. You are truly stronger than the marines.

First! You gave me motivation to do art again not very good at it but it's improved a bit

Hihi I live your vids, your art is amaziing❤

you inspired me to start painting thank you

girl i was scared the whole video that you will cry eventually 😭btw you did great! i want tomorrow to do something like that, summer without friend sucks

YEY NEW VID also i was fast

this whole video summed up how i feel about backgrounds

i missed u girllllll 😆😆😆

I dont have any tips but I think next land scape you should draw is a volcano in a forest or the artic :D

Go camilla!!!

I only even pain plein air lol but I live on the coast lol Watching this made me so anxious hahaha I love being outside but watching you lose it was rough

I think your previous painting was really cool. Learning the rules of painting and etc can be helpful but can also be a prison (it is for me imo). I really liked your previous painting and this one too. I like the blue in this one and the contrast of warm and cool

i laughed and learned something so thanks

i luve your art

You did so good, you should keep going

I couldn't imagine using tubes outside, that must be WAY harder than a watercolour palette 😮

I love who she is literally struggling but still is able to be optimistic🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gotta let gang know I fw camileon

I have a family friend going to Risd and my mom was wondering abt the curriculum so I was like “oh this girl shows some of the curriculum on her page” And after I showed it she was wondering if you would even do art over the summer because it seemed like a lot lol I’m glad you’re still doing it!

WOWWW IT LOOKS SO GOOOD HOWWWWWW(I could never paint a tree even if my life depended on it lol) 💀

I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THAT YOU POSTED. IM SORRY IM LATE LOLL

WE BECOMING BOB ROSS WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ur amazing lol you have more talent then any artist lol 😅

GAME CHANGER for plein air- I usually do studio figure painting like her. And I always felt super uncomfortable painting outside with all that gear. And when I sketch outside obviously I can't replicate the colors I see, and their not the same from a photo. So to fix all of that I switched to sketching in oil pastels, and then I go to the studio and paint over it with oils and a brush. It allows me to have zero clean up, and it also reminds me of what the values look like in the studio. Best YT landscape channels- Ian Roberts/ Phil Starke.

My mood swings: 😭😭… let’s paint!! 🤭🤭.. 😨… 😵
