Hi Leigh, I have been following you and your art for a while, and I love how freely you paint, knowing exactly when to stop, not overdone. Loving how vibrant your art is, the colours are dynamic, yet, all done with the simplest strokes! I adore your streetscapes and landscapes too, will you be doing more of those? xoxo
Wow you really inspired me to start selling my own work. It's hard to keep up with everything, all social media and art and a shop. So just know you are amazing!
You can spread out some slightly diluted ink or acrylic on a flat surface (glass preferably) for your stamp - that way you can customize and change your color and/or make gradients between two colors if you want. Love your work! Thank you for the relaxing VLOG.
not only was this such a chill video to watch, it was so fun to see what you watch while you're working. drew gooden, furrylittlepeach and parks and recreation are definitely some of my favourites too. keep up the lovely work!
While Torie is taking a nap and Boris is getting all the attentions. So cute. Love your new drawing and painting. I got my package the other day and so happy to have your art in my studio. Thanks again. ^ ^
Maybe this will help: when I don't have acrylics colors with me (only white or yellow or one other color), I had a bit of (tubed) watercolor to get variation on the shade. I figured that watercolor is mostly pigment (with a bit of gum Arabic which is very understanding) so as long as the biggest part is acrylic there is enough binder to make it stick to the canvas (or paper)... I even used it to shade some (white) wood filler one and the result is amazing!! There is now nice yellow pop of colors on my dinning table!
This is such a chill vlog to watch... nice to meet you Leigh 🌈 (ps: I love your art style, I believe drawing looser lines and sometimes not coloring all the way through like you do is way harder then actually having that “complete” look to the art. I appreciate that aspect in your style so so much. It’s like a kid’s drawing but a kid with great knowledge in art and perspective and color theory... this is a compliment, I swear, kids are great 😄Your art feels very free is what I mean. Lovely work, hope to see more of it!)
Yayyyyyy. Today's vlog was perfect to listen and watch as I painted today. Stopping painting with the end of the vlog as I too am getting a little tired and careless. So thank you also for the reminder!
I think it would be great to see your process of making and selling your prints, stickers, etc all in one place! Like where you buy from, how you scan/photograph and edit! 💜
Leigh, I love your videos! Seeing that you posted honestly really helps me turn around a bad day. You're so authentically yourself. Your art inspires me to keep working on my own. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us!
I LIVE for your art and videos🙌 I admire you SOO much, I think you have worked super hard on your business and still being true to yourself💖💖💖 I was wondering how do you manage or feel motivated to finish all your tasks and be productive? I'm in a procrastinating stage atm and I don't like it but I just can't stop😭. Help!
Thank you! I get great satisfaction from crossing things off of a to do list which is a drive for me to get started on work. Sometimes I offer myself treats like cookies for completing tasks I don't want to do. If it's possible to have something I love to listen to in the background (youtube videos, Netflix, podcasts) that helps me to keep trucking along. ♡ Make it as fun as possible!
@@LeighEllexson thank you so much for your answer, Leigh!💖 I think to award myself with yummy food will be my go to, too! You're right indeed...is better to make it fun, it doesn't have to be a hustle or boring right? 🙌
Every time I see something while shopping that has frogs on it or is a frog, I'm like Leigh would like this. So yeah that's a thing. Cool vlog, the bird poop made me laugh. Also love that you were upfront about not thinking that brand is doing enough. 10/10 content.
