One of the greatest crossover episodes of all time.
I was especially loving how all the Airbnb plants were gonna "go ahead and be"... A profound life lesson for us all!

That’s how Jamie talks all the time and it kills me 😂 they’re so funny
my friend Kain and I were absolutely admiring the freedom you have with your gouache paintings :0 it's helping us learn that we don't need to be so precious with everything we do! (we're both in the same art school whooo)
not me making grabby hands at this video cause i get to see yall this weekend

yeah absolutely NO intro was included for that
Seeing Leigh and Jamie laughing together was so perfect ❤
the part where everyone was wheezing and laughing over fiddly fig is definitely the highlight.
The second tree painting is UHmazing!
oooh I love the red sun paintings!
Omg please sell prints of those gorgeous trees with the firey sun!! They are absolutely stunningggg
I loooooove the paintings!!! My favorite was the second one
this is so fulfilling to watch. I feel like my soul was touched and it feels happier.
my favourite video you have ever made!!!!!!!! the Chicago footage is just gorgeous!!!!!!!!
The trees are gorgeous Leigh, what is it with creative flow coming and going... maybe it's because you don't do the same thing over and over? I feel like it's that with me. So you're waiting to grasp at that new thing that excites you... and that can take time... ♡
The red background is sooooooo perfect with the colors of the trees and nature you painted! Just gorgeous, fresh and new paintings! Gorgeous! Sorry I left 3 comments! I kept having more to communicate with you about your tree paintings! Yaaaaaah!

i love to live comment on the videos i watch yoo
18:08 i think this is one of my favorite paintings (ever also!)
I admire you so much as an artist. Listening to you saying that most of the time you are not proud of your art is insane. Not only because I love everything you do, but also because I feel the same way most of the time. Thank you for sharing this. It makes me keep moving forward. ❤ cheers from Brazil
Thank you for the new video! Your friends are so amazing and funny 😂 You should film with them more often! And the drawing you did is sooo stunning!!! I heard an other artist saying that drawing is like gacha: You have to get the bad drawings out of your system to finally pull the 5 star one and I think its so true 😂
You guys all pissing yourselves over that plant had me dying, so so pure and cute!
The laughing part of the video was EVERYTHING. Made my day. Thank you
feeling the love as an existing subscriber hahah i love your intros they’re so cute!!
That smaller tree is sooo good!!!
chicago! jamie! friends! paintings! cute!
For someone who doesn’t touch grass as much as I’d like- I really appreciate the nature in your videos 🥲 sending good vibes!
If you like touching moss, come to Ireland 😂 It grows everywhere most of the year, since it's always drizzling. You should definitely consider trying moss art graffiti, it looks super cool!
Leigh, just stumbled across your channel today (so I've only sen a couple of videos so far), but love your style! Watching as you paint, is a remarkable thing to witness. Looking forward to exploring more. :)

glad you likey 🥰
Hey Leigh, i like you Art very much.. your Art as a Painter, and your Art as a Human (sorry, my english is not so good). You are an inspiering person. Thank you for sharing with us. Best wishes from Freiburg (Germany) 🐦
I find that when I'm painting something for someone, it unlocks some new found talent. So I relate to this total shock you're experiencing lol Love the new paintings!!!
Love the quirkiness of this one! Keep them coming ✨🥰
Watching you put the paint down like that was so interesting!
can Leigh Jamie and Jess pls make a content house this vlog is TO DIE FOR!
the colors in your videos are always so pleasant!
I’ve always watched Jamie and Leigh separately and thought you guys would be good buds! So wholesome 💛💛💛
being your guest and making a comment: I've been watching your vids for like 6 yrs and still enjoy them so much 🥰
Officially caught up on every single one of your videos. Now off to every single patreon exclusive video 😅
I find the ugliest and worst of my paintings is the growth stage if I can just not quit I will achieve a win seemingly out of nowhere but it’s not from nowhere it all works together. You are a inspiration love your work all of it
Wow your painting wall at the beginning looks sooo nice!!
Yaaay! Make prints!!
The paintings are hella gorg I like the small tree one over the others
This vlog felt like my worlds colliding!! (seeing you and Jamie!) Absolutely loved everything about this vid :]
as an artist , i feel you on the breakthroughs. its feels great to see Im not a piece of shit. I try to manifest them, and ive realized its always the subject that creates that path for me. waving back in a chaotic manner also **
So glad you had fun here in Chicago!! And you went to some of my favorite places! Also I love Jamie Green. This is just fun! Thank you for sharing!
I was just thinking about you earlier today. I’m so glad and grateful that you posted!! Grabbing my sparkling water and enjoying every minute of this!! 🌞
those trees paintings are great, def should be really happy with them (the veggie leaf too)🥰
i LOVE new leigh videos
i love the fact that now you film morе of your life , you and your friends have such a good energy ❤
Also, a round of applause to special guests and the length of this video. 🤌🏼
I really love that painting, the crisp red peeking out amongst the green is everything
that is the cutest gnome garden I have ever seen
ahhh leigh AND jamie in the same video!?!?!! what a blessing 🌞 thanks for sharing your thoughts on your art with honesty, it really helps knowing the process of an illustrator i really admire! thank you leigh, your videos are lovely, always. also.... the music in this one,, pretty cinematic😌💐
Loved watching you paint!! Never thought I would like a painting of lettuce but I live it. I like all the paintings you did. Please paint more cause it gives me so much inspiration!!🤗
the fiddle leaf fig segment is a CHOKING HAZARD i am DYING 🤣
fav video to date, drank my water, watched art being made. I mean what more can i ask for. Made me feel the need to create visual art that much more.
Hahaha! Love the fiddle leaf fig part! And beautiful paintings!! ❤❤
always a treat to watch your videos! love the warm color grading on this video
The trees paintings are soooooooo beautiful !! I just looove them! Amazing job Leah!
YOU WERE IN MY BUILDING! My studio is in the Kimball Arts Center above Dayglow. I practically live here, I can't believe I could have actually run into you. OMG I'm so excited, that's so cool! I hope you enjoyed Logan Square! It's such a great neighborhood, and there's so many incredible small shops around here.
Filming clips of painting feels like the way to go. It's the only way I can think of shooting my stuff while not disrupting the flow.
Loveeeee those paintings 🥲✨ They’re perfect.
That tree painting is so so good
I really like those paintings. Part of what makes art so fun is getting into a flow state.
Fun thing I just learned about moss is that it makes a sound hahaha isn’t that wild? Scientists are like, trying to record it and find out why because no one knows lol. Anyyyyway loved the lettuce!💚💚💚 I’m glad you’re painting again and without filming. It makes a HUGE difference when I make art. That’s why I barely film or I only film 10 seconds of each part of the process 😂
I enjoyed the stroll through your video! Especially enjoy watching your painting process! Thanks very much!
LOOOOOVE the new paintings!
What a joy it is to catch up with your videos. Als I am absolutely blown by the crossover you just had
YAAAAAAAAY!!! You visisted my city!! That’s so awesome amazing wonderful! I hope you had a wonderful timeeeee and stayed toasty and warm!!! Also, I just want to say your video’s are so awesome and inspiring. I’m still in school for art and you just make me so excited to do it as my life continues forward into the real world haha. I seriously look up to you a lot (not to sound like a freak lol). I really just love how you take your viewers on your art journey even when it kinda sucks major balls. Thank you so much! Keep doin what your doin buddy❤❤❤
i'm laughing so much watching this video, thank u for all that joy hehe !! AND THE PAINTINGS! LOVE !!! 💚
This is major! I live in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago, so seeing you visit so many of my favorite spots in that area made me :') Loveee Paper & Pencil, Gethsemane Garden Center, & Foster Beach (with a view of the rainbow Hollywood beach light house thingy). So full circle after watching your videos for years n all that jazz
seeing you go to all the places I frequent in chicago is SO FUN
the vibe yall had and the energy in this video was so immaculate
thank u for keeping painting!!! so inspirational!!
The art making was ::chefs kiss:: thank you for topping me up on creativity 💃
Love love LOVE those paintings
This is my happy place- Leigh’s channel ✨ good ole wholesome and inspiring content all around.
Oh wow Leigh! You knocked it out of the park with these new paintings! What a revelation, I hope you get to continue on this inspiration train.
Looove the tree paintings!! 🥰
I love how your life seems to follow a color scheme!
What could be better than Leigh and Jamie? Absolutely nothing, that’s what.
Another fantastic vlog from a fantastic artist! 🤩
thank you for posting your vlogs!
Oooh! I really like the second painting you've done!!! Love both of them actually!
this is my favourite video in a while, in all of KZread. thank you!!!!
Beautiful footage, beautiful paintings, beautiful vibe! Your videos always set such a peaceful and relaxing mood during my work day! ❤
Great paintings Leigh!!
22:49 It's totally a thing, the things I make when I'm not filming I love so much more than the things I make and film.
Definitely my favourite one of your videos for some reason. The paintings are bangers. Megan's painting rules too. Your friends are fun AF. Soundtrack fits perfectly, grading etc. I don't normally get down in the comments but TEN GOLD STARS and millenial hearts 4 eva

I love the new paintings!
love you so much xoxo you are magnificent as are you tree paintings !! 0:
This was a magical video and you absolutely did pop off queen 🌟
Here's a sweet comment from a new found subscriber; you are as sweet as honey drizzled over hot corn muffins taken right out of the oven. I love your art as does my pre teen daughter who is very creative with her drawing and other crafts as am I! Keep creating beautiful things love sending hugs from rainy New Englan!
Those paintings with the orange/red borders are soooooo gorgeous, the colours and shapes are super pleasing to look at :o)
Your videos are always the best to craft along too! I got so many clay pins cut out to these immaculate vibes
A whole month of hating your own art and then all of a sudden making really tasty art out of no where is so real. Definitely make prints of those two!
