Hi Happy, I love the pink hair!
Done 🎉🎉🎉❤❤.
Did you ever finish the mermaid with the male sailor? Will there be a part two of that also? I can't wait to see the Finnish product of this painting it's so pretty already.
My new favorite!! As someone with pink hair and a bob, I feel seen.
I really wanna try oil paints one day 🥰🥰
Hello 👋
I used and enjoyed Eco Solve by Natural Earth Paint but I didn't enjoy the residue it seemed to leave on the brushes and it seemed to be almost too strong and damaged some of the brush handles.
I like Eco Solve as well.
I use the Sennelier Green for Oil Cleaner for cleaning my brushes during painting and I really enjoy it. I'm ok with the Thinner though I haven't used it much and the liquid Medium smelled sooo bad I threw it away.
I enjoyed the review. Thanks. Beautiful painting. If memory serves, soy is one of the main ingredients, so I am going to avoid it. However, it makes me joyful to see companies looking for alternatives like this. I hope they keep on in this direction.
why do you avoid soy?
@@alienjjj ecological issues aside, I'm allergic. I'm very careful about what ingredients I bring into my painting studio.
I’ll use the Sennelier Green Thinner for my oil painting class in college and I gave it away at the very end of the class because after a week for so, it smelled so bad. Idk what happened to it but it smelled like the fish section of an Asian supermarket so I would put out less than I would use to avoid the smell. Not sure if you would have the same issue.
This is absolutely beautiful! I love the ethereal glow!
This is too much work. Just enlarge the original on your computer screen, then trace directly off of the screen.
Heyyy there,i wish you're doing great,i used to watch your videos so,so long ago, almost seven or eight years ago,i was a newbie,i just loved art,but felt like i wasn't good enough,i felt overwhelmed by the power of art,and by the beauty of it,the mesmerizing technics of artists made me jealous and really ambitious,my ambitiousness made me feel burned out,i couldn't wait to learn more and more,but i was young and i needed time to grow,i had my own taste of art,it was a little bit different,i loved the freedom of imagination in art,i never wanted to draw real things, because i was bored of living in reality, art became my escape place,and a home i can feel loved in,but i was a perfectionist which didn't allow me to enjoy my art,i thought my art and the way i draw wasn't supposed to be called art anymore,but when i found your channel,and your imaginative and special way of drawing,i felt so protected,i felt a little bit proud,i followed everything u do,i drew everything u have ever drawn,and finally i felt like i was progressing a little,of course i passed through so many trials,but it just made me improve more and more,i stayed in your channel for four years,and u disappeared for a while, doing your things and living your life,and i did the same,i didn't notice until i lost your channel and couldn't remember the name of it,i persuaded drawing,there are times where i lost my inspiration, sometimes i forgot how to draw,i stopped drawing for one year,it didn't feel like me anymore and i was passing through a hard time, fortunately through some people i was able to regain the trust in myself and love myself,which drove me to having confident to draw again,i drew and drew and improved day after day, I didn't feel it, but five has passed,i can't believe that it's been eight years since knowing u, today i was just scrolling in my KZread,and i really wanted to find your channel again,and after two hours of searching,here i'am rewatching every video i once watched,i felt so emotional passing through the old videos of yours, remembering how hard i was getting on myself and how far i've come, I've never had the chance to say thank u,so thank u sooooo much for helping my little me overcoming her fear of not feeling enough, thank you so much
@@user-es5wf7rs8l awww thank you for sharing your story with me and thank you for staying with me for so long! even though i dont know you, it still feels nice to reconnect ❤️
@@HappyDArtist thank you so much, happy to be back again
You have gotten so much better since art school; before you had your shtick and it was cool, but your new skills have allowed you to grow without losing the core of who you are. Very impressive!
I am 17 year old and i want to learn old master type paintings i am searching a way to learn it from past 2 years but i dont have a tutor i dont know where to learn it step by step can you please tell me a path to follow please
You are incredibly wise.
wow!!
Cause they are messy, they take long time drying, they are hard to.paint with I love gouache and colored pencils to make realism With oil i cant nevr
You’re so gorgeous 😮
I only paint on watercolor paper with my oils. I've tried a few different surfaces and it is by far my favorite.
I draw with pencil first, 😒 I mix le paint✨ I add the paint✨ I water it down to make it shine ✨ It is le done✨💅
That is soooo pretty ❤
I don't feel like a day is that long... Can't wait to see the next stage! 😊
this is fascinating, what a wonderful piece ☺☺
Oh man. I did a study with this limited pallet and I felt so powerful when it turned out well! It can really empower you as an artist, and remind you to take your time when mixing colors.
You need to learn the mark carder colour palette
it’s not a five colour palette as the white and black don’t count as colours. Only the yellow, red and blue. So a three colour palette.
Great video. I like to use a sperate paper between the drawing and the canvas. This way I can keep the drawing without the charcoal on the back of it. I am Looking forward to part 2.
wtf this is shit.
I like how you decided to handle this situation. It seems like people are seemingly always so identified with their personal tastes and ideas that any challenge to their thoughts is like an attack on their identity. It's the human problem that causes most of the crap in the world today. Anyone who can be an example of acceptance and open mindedness is very truly a positive force in our world.
I really loved this video it was relaxing to watch
Omg I started watching you when I was in high school! Got so busy with uni, but now I finally graduated! So good to watch you make art again 😊
Did you prime the wood panel or was it pre primed?
I love your videos I have been following you for 6 years now
Is that rotring? I thought rotring was only in black and silver, where did you get that color from?
Why don't you draw directly on the panel? Its what I've always been doing, is it wrong?
But why you have to transferred the sketch , when u can draw the sketch directly on the paper? Why so many steps?
great question - it’s because i can initially draw on a smaller scale when measuring out the proportions/composition (it’s easier to do on a smaller scale for me).
Would a projector help in this case? I feel like it would reduce the cost of buying so many materials to trace the images. I bought one used for 20$ at goodwill and I've been thinking of using it for my art projects when I do a digital painting 🙂
girl, your talent has no limits ^~^
aww thank you 🥹
Have you thought about buying a projector and using it to transfer your drawing instead of using the charcoal method? And thanks for sharing your work with us :D
Cool
The charcoal transfer method is crazy messy lol. Back when I was into tattooing, we used Graphite Transfer paper for sketches. So it works easy for transferring to Canvas as well. "Graphite Transfer paper" not Tattoo Stencil paper. You can also reuse the Graphite Transfer paper multiple times. THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!
i used to use graphite transfer paper for years but i found the lines weren’t dark enough to be visible after i laid down the tone and underpainting 😅 maybe i’ll try some charcoal transfer paper
@@HappyDArtist You are right the lines are very faint! They would basically disappear with a tone over them! 😭 I use acrylics and paint Alla Prima style so most of the time I just need a basic outline of what I'm painting. I've went from grid method to full on projector mode because of the size of my paintings. Grid method was a big time waster too. Have you tried projectors? I'm basically a projector junky now ... I can't go back😅
Beautiful start, can’t wait to see it finished
What a beautiful documented process!💞😻🔥I use charcoal paper, which goes even faster when transferring! ^^
ooh thanks for the tip, i’ll check out charcoal paper! do you find that it creates dark enough lines for laying down an underpainting or ebauche layer with oils?
do you have a brand you recommend? 🥰
No one ever talks about this, but it’s a lot of the process for me as well. I spend days doing prep work
It is so satisfying to watch you mixing and matching all of these beautiful colors and shades!
I prefer a limited palette as well. I typically stick with a modified Zorn palette, in order to use blues and greens more readily I add Pthalo Blue in. Sometimes It's a lot of fun to experiment with the extremely saturated color options for more surreal options though.
this is so good, such a satisfying process ☺☺
I also agree with you on the primary colour topic. I know that printers are often set up with the magenta etc colour palettes, and in photography you use this as well, but for painting I find that the traditional primary colours in my personal opinion works best 😊
