As a child, I was inspired by my cousin's home filled with beautiful creations. From gummy bear bracelets to clay sculptures, desserts to papier-mâché, plushies to paintings, it sparked my love for art. Now, I want to share that feeling with you. 🎨

Amazing video! Love how informative and helpful it is. With your light tripod, are you filming in the magnifier part? Also i struggle with framing/angles for the camera. Any tips?
That is absolutely lovely. Thank you I love seeing something completely unexpectedly random that probably makes my morning. It's little things, passions and crafts whether it be food, dance, showcasing a self care something, mental health conversations, woodcraft, and all amazing forms or artistic expression. The one thing that I love most is that it's being shared with the world. There are so many bad things I can say about the internet, being able to actually see human self-expression in such amazing unique and special ways will always feel like it's worth it.
I really enjoyed this video, I’ve been following you on IG but didn’t realize you had a RU-vid channel. I’m so happy you mentioned it in your post today. I subscribed! Carnations remind me of my mother who died when I was 9. I think my father told me it was her favorite flower, and that’s why they always remind me of her. You did a wonderful job painting these flowers and I will try them in my journal as well.
I LOVE your painting style and colors! So beautiful... Did I not see it or is the link to your color mixing pdf not included in the list in the description box? Would love to check the book out! Much love from a fellow (new) youtuber ❤
Hi Iria! Yes oops, I was thinking this morning I forgot to type that into the description! Thank you for reminding me! 🥰 I've just added it in but here it is: www.dearelaine.co/store/p/color-recipes-ebook So happy to meet another fellow youtuber!! I'll be following your journey 😍
Elaine this video was so helpful - I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to list out the exact colours you enjoy - it is so hard to decide which colours to get open stock when you’re having to decide from an online swatch and you can’t try them out in person. I love the mood your colour choices create. I’m off to check out your sketchbooks and the colour mixing guide. Thank you again! 🌺
Aw Melanie! I am so touched and happy to hear that this video was helpful! It takes me literally forever to make videos like this so I'm beyond thrilled that someone appreciates it. And yes online art shopping is so hard! I've gotten quite a few colors I don't use all that much 😅! Happy creating dear!
I'm new to painting and it's very overwhelming to walk into the craft store. Your video was so helpful!! Thank you! Absolutely love your style and am very excited to use the Drawing Diary you created! 😍
Thank you Shannon!!! Yes so true! Sometimes I walk in and out without buying a thing because the selection is just so overwhelming! Anyways (like i said on IG) I can't wait to see your art in the drawing diary!
I don't record a lot of voice for IG but when i do, I still just use the free version of capcut "reduce noise" and that has been good enough for me but if i needed extensive editing I use premiere pro... I'll have to try out that voice enhancing feature on pro one day!
Quick suggestion: leave the text up for a few more seconds. It's hard to read them when they are on the screen for only 2 seconds. I love your work. Very beautiful
