I love how this video shows another art hack: comparing your old works to your newer ones rather than comparing yourself to others

Amazing sketches! I just can`t choose which one is my favorite. You are an inspiration to everyone who loves urban sketching. Keep the good work!

I am fascinated by the simplicity, calm and your extraordinary skills which soothe me and inspire me to start sketching… since I’ve wanted your videos, I have started to look at buildings and areas in my city and suburbs, with different eyes. And (I’m trying to snapshot some nice spots, while driving through the city…psssst!). Thank you
I'm enjoying you today. Your confidence and ability to stretch forward with quickness and agility. You help break up the day with confidence and always a pleasure to watch. Thank you.😊❤️❤❤🎉
They are both nice! If I could only choose one I think it would be the second one! It’s so free! Love it! Thank you for your full length videos!
Just beautiful. Really like them both for different reasons. Thanks for bringing us along!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us.
I found this very interesting and enjoy they way you share your thoughts and approach throughout. I like the first painting the best although both are lovely in their own way. Thank you for sharing.
You do this exactly how I wanted to do this. I never did get it right and now I moved on to acrylics. I really did love urban sketching tho. You did that perspective great. Your work looks really good. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate you showing how to mix the colours first, as a beginner, it helps a lot. I already practiced with one of your videos, inking first. It was fun to do. In this video I like both sketches but I think last one a little more because it looks more loose. It is a little more scaring painting first and then inking but I'm sure it will be fun too, I'll try! Also I find your videos very relaxing, your voice and how gentle you are while painting 😊

I agree that the second sketch has more details in the color, but I would still choose the first one because of how clean it is. It just calms me down looking at crisp artworks.
Both are fantastic. You have a true gift of painting along with freehand sketching and drawing skills. Enjoy the videos.

Great! And thanks for boosting my willpower. I prefer the 'wash first' building, and the 'line first' tree...

two very nice sketches, well done. I like the structures/straightness of the buildings in the first, but the looser colours in the second...

A note on water-resistant fountain pen ink: water-resistant, in this context, means ink that remains legible after being exposed to water. the ink might still smudge and bleed. as long as enough remains to read the text it is 'water-resistant'. for art, you generally want 'waterproof' ink. Platinum Carbon black has shown itself to be the most waterproof ink available for fountain pens. *keep it in a well sealed pen.* if it dries out inside a pen, the pen is now ruined. this goes any water-proof ink
thank you, you're giving me reason to draw and paint again

I love this!! So interesting that you use the Broad nib TWSBI Eco for this! I usually only see X-Fine nibs being used for drawing, so this is unique. I don’t think I have Noodler’s Brown, but I will definitely check it out for it’s water resistant properties. :) Thank you for such a carefully curated video.

Thank you! Broad nib is slightly tricker to draw with I guess, but thick lines appeal to me somehow🥰
I like the watercolor first layer followed by ink- although with you it doesnt seem to matter much! I like the longer, real time videos because of your narration.

I like the 2nd one just a bit better, as you said the colors were a bit bolder and the painting overall was looser. Your videos are so peaceful and calming, I love your style and gentle voice. I’m finding myself in a better mind frame after watching your videos because of that. Amazing work JilLee!

superb example of loose/looser. I personally prefer the looser one - its got more dynamics, life, soul, excitement and interest. It flows easier and the composition is fully complemented in all aspects of capturing a scene in an essence of time with what the eye thinks is important without overthinking the work. The removal of some details makes the work uncluttered and focuses your attention on the important - without ever feeling wanting more......

Hello Jillee! I am loving your videos and this one is particularly fascinating! Superb job on both paintings, they are both wonderful in their own specific ways. I happen to be the person that loves detail, the more, the better, but I also see the beauty in the "loosesomeness" of the second version of the beautiful building. Looking forward to many more of your ink and washes, especially the storefronts, they are my own particular favorite! 👩🦳🖌️ Since today is my birthday, do you think you might have one that might be nearing release?🤔😅🎉🎉

I like seeing how you take the same subject and try again. I can identify from that an artist fallacy: artists draw one subject, only once and nails it 100%. Not true at all, and seeing this video shows how we practice the contrary. Focus on a subject a few times, try different techniques, and self-critique all outcomes.
@JilleeArts
10 ай бұрын
So true! Many artists repaint the same thing multiple times, and each time can hopefully be a little bit better with some self-critique. Monet did his water lilies countless times and each painting was different, yet beautiful too💗

That loser that we've been relentlessly following for 27 years is sterile now. It feels like we've committed more time and resources to running him into the dirt than any normal, rational man would ever consider. And life as oddly passed US by. Weird how that goes. Are we actually losers by proxy now?
pretty. I personally don' like watercolours used so speciously like spot of colours decoring a drawing made by pen. I prefer when watercolours are used for painting, that means creating MASSES and FORMS with colour without pen borders
13:16 you've messed up with perspective. Please don't try to conceptualize this fact. Just don't. (not trolling or trying to hurt. )
