"Bits and bobs" is such a cute English phrase, I love it! I say "odds and ends" sometimes :-)

just a little trick! when your brushes are dried out put them in a glass of vinegar for 20-30 minutes and there like new!

Or use The Masters brush soap, which you can use to condition the brushes in between uses and coat them to preserve them. I couldn’t cope with brushes all gunky/dried up like the ones in the video.

Her voice is so damn beautiful and calm, and then the videos are astonishing as well... Where's her five million subs at?!

I agree her voice is sooo soothing

Today I finished a painting I started two years ago. It was 100% thanks to your videos.

could you maybe do some tutorials? I would really love to learn more about what inspires you and maybe some basics of painting!

I’m happy I’m not the only one who gets the huge thing of white studio gouache for painting. I also love the fact you also say “bits and bobs”

I love the slick / stylish and clean presentation in this video.

This calmed me down so much you have no idea :)

you're voice is so calming??? like I could just play your videos on loop while studying and I would feel so calm and focused?? wow

Has there ever been a time in you life when you wanted to give up on art and what kind of self discipline tips would you give to stay on track.

I have gone through that, a lot actually, so my best advice would be to take a bit of time off, evaluate why you started drawing and why you continued it. Then draw whatever feels right, if you decide that drawing is the thing for you

your videos are an aesthetic seriously they are amazing

I love how clean your surface is, plus the detail you've given per art material. Thank you for sharing! :)

I've been on and off your channel for the last few days and can't take my eyes from your videos! - not sure how I stumbled across but I've fallen in love with your style, technique, and overall spirit for how you join the magic of your visual art with the platform that is KZread. Congrats on a stellar channel! Can't wait to see more.

I use the A4 white card stock from the pound shop (not 99p store) and I use everything on it, it can hold acrylic paint, watercolour, alcohol markers, ink everything! so I buy tons of it and make my own sketchbooks. Definitely keep an eye out, it's just in a plastic sleeve with blue writing across it. It's 200gsm x

This is my favourite art channel, cheers me up so much to see you draw for some reason:)

Please do some sketchbook videos! I'd love to see all your little scribbles and things

Brilliant video, this will help me greatly since I'm trying to do more art this year as well as do more traditional art since I only done digital for most of last year so I've been in need of recommendations for art supply's so this works wonders, definitely gonna have a look at some of your other videos.

your so talented i lit just ordered all the supplies. thanks minnie.

I would love to know more about how you learnt to draw, what kind of books or tutorials you would recommend to a total beginner to drawing people and perhaps where you see your art going/future plans. Love your videos x

Lovely video cannot wait for the q and a!

Your voice is so soft and lovely😍 It made me feel comfortable 😊

Gonna start uni soon for graphic design so I thought lemme look around KZread and girl I just saw your videos 😭 awesome ! Love yaaaa

love this vid very much..your art tools are very professionally amaizing and gives me ideas for my own sketching/drawings

Super helpful video--I'm always curious about what other artist's use, particularly the tech tools. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Minnie! Love your video as always! My questions for your Q&A: Did you go to an art school? Do you have some particular artists who inspire you?

Hey Minnie, great video and congrats on reaching 10k (almost 11k now) . Definitely looking forward to your Q&A. My question for you is do you have an educational background or degree, related to art? And my second question is how do manage your planning and stick to it?

Omg you're British (as am I) I love your accent! Just found your channel, and instantly subscribed :--) what a beautiful channel with aesthetically appealing vids, great editing, and wonderful content! 💙⚡️

Yass! My request thanks! 👍🏻😁😁

Hahah when Minnie got to her tech and showed us her scanner I literally looked to the right part of my desk and saw that I had the exact same one lmao

Love your channel

*Super interesting video !* Your videos and your blog posts are well made, love how you settle your stuff :) I’m wondering how you stay organized each day, do you have a *same* weekly schedule ? I mean for example _monday morning filming videos_ etc...

Thank you, A very good video.

Ayyy snap, wilko brushes

Hey I am a big fan of your work. This is a question for your Q&A video. What are your future aspirations as an artist?

I love your voice + what a lovely video 😇

nice, I just bought that scanner, gonna install it soon. That's the only one I can get at the moment, and I was afraid that the quality might not be that good.

thanks for this! your videos are so calming aaaahhh (ps. gouache is pronounced without the o)

I've got that exact same set of graded pencils, I also have the coloured and charcoal pencils by the same people

Awesome video!!! shows good content! looking forward to see more! ;) keep up the good work!

For the Q&A: What advice do you have for the novice artist out there? What is a good starting point or, in your experience, what is the best way to improve in a medium you are interested in? ( like watercolor, digital, sketching, etc) or is there a good source to recommend like books, tutorials, KZread artist, etc. Bonus question lol ... do you think you will do a "draw my life" at some point? Thank you for taking time to read my comment/question. You are amazingly talented and absolute goals as an artist!!!!!!!

Where did you start your platform on KZread, Instagram, or Tumblr and what do you recommend for someone trying to start an art channel?

Love you're videos, I'd say you're my absolute favorite youtuber atm :) I wanted to say I noticed none of the icons at the end of your video work as links like I think a lot of people expect, like usually when there is a clip with your last video, there is an annotation over it that will bring me to that video. Or my web browser is horribly screwed up. Again, can't wait til your next vid

how did you come up with your style? did you do anithing art relating as a job ( cause your sense of form and color would be really handy in graphic design^^)

How do you study shadows and face angles? I struggle with these two soooooo much ahh

Hey! I love your videos and brush pen work so much :3--I just wanted to let you know that Reeves isn't quite the best gouache to use. I'd stick with Windsor & Newton or Holbein (really pigmented). (Illustration major--4+ yrs experience lol) Best! -Sharese

Hi Minnie, I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your videos so far! You're truly a talented and inspiring artist! I have a question about this video though: when I click on the link that is supposed to lead me to the blog post about "My go-to art essentials, the extensive collection", it just brings me to you home page. I can't seem to find the blog post anywhere? I would really like to read it, can I find it anywhere ? Thanks in advance! :)

Very informative. I am also an oaf with my paintbrushes. The poor things! I keep them when they're tattered though, as they make great textures ❤️ question: can we be friends 😫 lol

Im starting art and need some new suplies, I subsribed!

how do you get the anatomy right, how did you learn it ? love your art

Do I spy Blue is the Warmest colour? :D :D :D the graphic novel is amazing! so much better than the film - it made me cry in public :P

You should try Krita instead of Gimp, it's free too, but far better!

oh and my question for the q&a would be tips for gaining popularity on instagram!

How long have you been practicing art to get to where you are now? Your art is really good and I'm still a beginner, though I hope to improve with practice.

are reeves gouache good quality? i have the reeves watercolors which are okay and acrylics which arent as good and ive been wanting to get into gouache but i dont know what are good beginner paints

what music do you turn to for inspiration?

Ok here's a question for your Qn'A Minnie! What have been your biggest inspiration/is your biggest inspiration at the moment (When it comes to style and design that is)?

Thank you

Do you do watercolor painting or only gouache?

What computer do you use? What computer is best for art school? Mac?

I want some ideas for stuff to get for Christmas

It depends, if you like to draw, get maybe a pencil that you like with copic markers for colouring. If you like to paint, I dunno, I don't paint all to much.
