art making bonanza ⁕ july studio vlog 

leigh vlog 🤝🏼 my eyeballs

Love the painting. If you are ever in that position again where you are needed to collage and stick something like that down, do the glue part, and place it on the paper. Then gently turn it upside down and press from the backside so that you don't smudge the work on the front or accidentally smear glue over the work. I do this all the time when making collages. Glue, place, turn over and press from the back.

catching up with your videos and just when i finished the last one, a new one was uploaded??? feeling like i won in life lol

Vacuuming it is a work out, I got a medical intervention once, and the doc told me, just don't do anything hard, just do your everyday chores and stuff just nothing extreme. So, having in mind what he told me I decided to vacuum, because, it's normal and definitely not extreme. Oh my... I felt like dying afterwards... like all my insides were about to fall out and I wanted to cry. Like he literally told me to live as if nothing happened, that I didn't need to stay in bed, and yet I could only rest for an entire day because I decided to vacuum for 20 minutes. So, that was fun.

the texture of that pink bunny from apple cheeks looks like a mexican marshmallow cookieee aaaa

The reason I love in-progress pieces so much is because you can still see the potential of where it could go. 😂 I feel like that potential holds a lot of magic that fades away once you make your final decisions, lmao.

for the larger pencils that you were unsure to sharpen…you can take an xacto knife and “wittle” it of sorts. Also love the vintage ceramic animals! I know it’s your thing but i love that you’re slowly adding to your collection 😊

omg Toady and James switching bodies really had me chuckling, excellent question. I loved watching you paint this session, I'm gearing up to do something on the weekend that pushes my use of color (I usually go for 'life like' color so watching you helps inspire me!)

I adore that painting. Love 😊❤🤗 our cat Lola says hi. Hugs for Toadie and Hercules xxx

wow you just blew my mind by using poscas to figure out your painting. i usually just wing it or i use charcoal but both those things leave me unhappy. Thank you SOOOO much. funny, the things you learn.

The dog in the painting, his name is Taffy, because his colours remind me of sweet Taffy. Love the colour palette as a whole 👌

the scared toad popping up made me laugh so much omg

I used to work at an antique mall and love all my references I got from that time.

Another great vlog. Can't wait for NY part 2. Please name the dog "Leroy".

“I use all my art supplies” such a flex

Love Howard the dog painting. Great additions at the end to the work. Fab video ❣️💐🐾

Love the doggy paint, the colors are so beautiful 💖

Thank you so much for talking about how you were faster than the people in your class, I've struggled with this a long time (still am) and hearing you say it really made me feel better. I've always had the same problem of finishing a painting faster than others and doubting if I did a good job, just based on the time it took me to do it. Also I love your vibe and aesthetic so much, you're an inspiration

Watched this with my 5 year old & during we talked about what things calm us down ❤️ Love the doggie! Canvas is great because you can always add/subtract/paint over it.

We all have those bad painting days when we want to challenge a piece and every thing we do fails…blah….you have my sympathy

the ceramic dog thing painting aa so cute

FYI the Staedtler pens are made to write on non-paper surfaces like CDs, plastic and the like - the non-permanent one is water soluble. We used them in school a lot, when we used those old-school overhead projectors with the images printed on see-through plastic sheets.

i always come back to your channel whenever i’m in a bit of a slump, both mentally and artistically. but i wanna say i haven’t laughed so hard in a while hearing your answer about toady and james swapping bodies. i loved it. i’m laying in bed with a headache but drinking water and made a little charcuterie plate to snack and watch you paint. it’s winter now and i miss the sunlight so watching your summer vlogs is really soothing somehow. anyway love from washington state

I still LOVE how the flower painting ended up! the way you saved that was PHENOMENAL 💕💕 have you tried taking a picture of your painting with the white bg and then try to plan the background composition/colors on procreate? Maybe you'd like the end result if you plan it a little bit before committing to a paint color? i don't know painting so i'm just spitballing lol but i love your end results all the time anyway!! 💕💕

My name suggestion for the pup is Dandelion! Love the colours in that piece too.

I likeee it! The colors are literally so nostalgic feeling. I always love your vlogs. Also idk why but that doggo looks like a Ron to me haha

All of your videos always bring me so much joy, and leave me feeling so inspired. I love the big doggo painting, the colors are awesome, thanks for sharing your daily life with us :)

dogGAMMIT i love that painting, 10/10 would buy for my living room

This dog looks like a Lloyd :) the stormy vibe was very calming.. love that

26:20 Yes, the dog painting is wonderful! 😍👍

Looooove the painting. Love the pink coming through. You are amazing.

LOVE the painting! The color palette is exceptional

proud of you for setting that “don’t overwork it” goal and following through-honoring personal boundaries always feels gooddd. painting turned out great, loved it right away on insta and it’s cool to see a process video and that inspo ceramic! dog looks like a Maisie.

I just love your easy vibe, my shoulders sink to somewhere around where they're supposed to be

I LOVE THE BIG PAINTING!!! The colors are super yum, the dog looks like it would be a gentle bestie for Toadie

The painting turned out so beautifully!!!!

Such a relaxing video! The dog looks like a “Bruno” to me!

Omg leigh lookin so cute with new hair and a winged eye!

I had the same problem with being too fast!! One thing I do when I feel like i might be in a stopping place is take a picture and then add things to it in procreate. That way I can explore other options (like if I want to add black lines or something) and see if I like it or not. Then I can go back and add it if I like it, but if not I haven't ruined my painting!! Hope this helps

I absolutely adore the dog painting! The composition and colors are *chef’s kiss*

The blonde hair makes your eyes look so pretty!!

the dog is giving a leonard vibe to me

Truly love the Rufus painting... he just pops off the canvas.

Cool painting 💛 “Pinkut ~ Pinkoot” comes to mind when looking at this 🐶🐾

YAY!!! THE TOAD SOUND EFFECT ARE BACK!!! 🍄 🍄🍄💗✨💕💖💞⭐

nothing beats having clean bedsheets

I love that we both wanna be cheyenne

My dog died yesterday and I'm on my period and I finally have the time to relax to some nice videos and within seconds of it starting I feel better, how does your cute artsy and professional style always get better and better? Satisfying, absolutely lovely haha thundering here too, and I got my stickered up bottle by me at all times

I submit Lemondrop for your dogs name... also... couldn't agree more about the soup, I love making homemade soups! I can't wait for this oppressive summer heat to be gone so I can get back to soup life! Thank you for always brightening my day! xoxo

Love how the canvas painting turned out!!

love your vlogs so much, leigh! such cozy, fun, chill vibes ✌

It's so cute and the colours are so fresh and alive!

I am a fast painter as well. And I always think that there is something wrong with me, when I compare my drawing time with others artists. 😂

I AM LOVING THIS NEW LOOK! AGH LOVE IT

Loved the dog painting!! Great video!

“i think its cute but i also hate it” so real

The dog looks like a Roberto, also I can’t get over the way you paint I rlly can’t deal you’re perfect ok byeee

I love the painting ! And I think he look like a Paul

ok this makes me want to paint on canvas more 😍😍

Love the painting. You have a style that makes me smile when I see it.

This was such a great vlog Leigh! And I've been loving the quality of your videos lately--so crisp! All the art you made in this is magical like always 🤹 Also I feel like that dog's name is definitely Huxley! 😉

LOOOOOOVE the big painting!!

aaaa I loved all of your little desk and plant things but for some reason I especially loved the white vase with the blue lineart, sooooo pretty. And the art you made of it was cool. And yes, we all want to be Cheyenne Barton and y'all are way way ahead of me, but that's ok, the little art studio in my mind is perfect haha

I've been really into collaging and scrapbooking lately and seeing you cut up your painting and make something beautiful !!! Super inspiring

6:00 That is so cute! What a sweet birthday gift! 🥰

Hands down that dog is a Barbara. Love the content as usual!

I always love watching your stuff and admiring your art work

Looking forward to NY PT2! I just went on a trip and planned to do a similar kind of video, with trip footage and drawing/painting sprinkled in. So funny, must be in the hive mind. 🤔

for real can't get over the cute new blonde hair 😭 i'm so happy you liked your paintings in this vid!!!

The dog was adorableeeeee LOVED IT

Love that doggo piece! I loved it before you "finished" it and loved that you left it ''unfinished"! I will name him Maraschino.. also! Big fan of random ceramic animals that are Made in Japan! lol.. Have WAY too many, but cant seem to stop! Thanks for a lovely vlog!

The thing you said about going for too long because you saw everyone else was still working reminded me of when I was in Art class and there was an alternate/pro class for everyone to work at their own pace and i feel like that helped a lot of people grow as artists. :)

this video made me smile thank you

That painting was incredible, would have loved to own it! love your work x

I’m over the moon for that painting…

hi leigh!! your videos bring me joy and I love your work and your documentation of your work. sending love 2 u xoxo

He gives a mass harrold or hagrid vibe (the dog painting that is)

i really love the painting! it is stunning

Awesome video, as always 👌 LOVE the doggie painting, the colours are just 👩‍🍳💋 It was great hanging out with you 💛

Awsome love the dog painting ornaments too actually everything thanks for sharing 💜

Loved this video so much.

Weird comment alert. Love Leigh when she's PMSing, hugging little ducky and talking about her artwork.❤️

When the scissors ✂️ came out…. 😨 I would 100% put that pink fish wallpaper all over my home 💕

"that wasn't hard at all to describe" got me good

Love the lighting in the beginning 🧡🧡

I have literally been clasically conditioned because my mouth feels dry when your video starts

Rosie! Perfect Puppy name 😁👍

The vase you received is beautiful.

Apparently walking while thinking was a common thing philosophers used to do! I think they were called the Peripatetics? Walking does help you think clearer!

OMG I have that same pink mild liner. I found it in a bush on my uni campus and juts thought it was a highlighter lol.

Another artist to be obsessed with... Nice :')

Custard the dog! Loved this video 😍

Naming the dog “Vanilla Ice”

I love seeing the new ideas with antiques it's so much fun! My sister and I make customized vintage/antique decor boxes, I think it would be awesome to send you one if you wanted to do an unboxing? We recently picked up some items that remind me of you and I think you'd love! 🖤
