Can’t help but think of the way painters used to make their living through commissions of their patrons’ favourite biblical/mythological stories and you’re paying for your tuition by painting a beloved story too. Some things never change
Can't stop thinking about how often these characters were painted in the image of their loved ones (using wives, friends and family members as references) and she did the same!
thank youuu!! I was a bit nervous about this video as I feel like I spent so much time on the painting that I didn't really focus on capturing the story of the painting, if that makes sense, so I wasn't sure if it would even all make sense. But I'm so happy it does and you enjoyed it
Watching your creative process is so inspirational to me. There's something so sophisticated yet natural about the way you work, whenever I watch your videos, it feels like you've cracked the answer to the meaning of life haha. Hope you'll keep on sharing your art with us
AMAZING! I discovered your channel this time last year and have been eagerly awaiting your return to RU-vid. You inspire me so much as an artist, a student, and as a person! Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing it with us!
As a Pre-Raphaelites and Moving Castle long time lover, this piece is the perfect combination. 😍 I've loved your work for a long time and today I'm thrilled. Thank you for this beautiful artwork and this video It's a real pleasure and privilege to watch you work 🙏
What a treat, I am enamored with your talent, attention to detail and beauty and most of all your art and the way you edit your videos. You truly made my day!
this vide popping up in my recommendations inspired me to pick up my paint brushes and dust off my unused canvases that have been sitting in the back of my closet for years! ive only tried oil painting once and never went back to it but this video also inspired me to give it another try! your art really just gave me a inspirational kick to start painting again since ive been so burnt out on digital drawing so thank you! also your work is absolutely beautiful!! 💜
I saw this painting on a reel, and no other art piece has impacted me as much as this one. There is something beyond magic about your art- but especially this piece! I never comment on videos either, but I am truly mesmerized by your creativity, technique and style. You have created something so inspiring to me!!
Feeling so incredibly inspired, the time commitment and the attention to the details in this painting is mind blowing to me! and the way you build the composition of this piece by researching, visiting galleries and photographing your friends just made this whole video so special to watch. Thank you for sharing your creative process!
This is one of the most interesting videos I’ve ever seen! Absolutely fascinated by your process and how beautifully aesthetic you’ve made it! A perfect assault on the senses when you include the music. Simply stunning! Thank you for sharing! Only sorry I’m too late for the prints 💚✨
This was awesome! I'm just learning painting, and I watched every brush stroke to glean the techniques you were using. I really like how you do values in a lighter shade, then have them gleam through a darker wash overtop.
I've been following you on Instagram for a while, but this is the first YT video of yours I have watched. I am just so much more in love with your work after watching. I also just get such a warm cozy feeling seeing a fellow Oregonian and artist
This is indescribably beautiful. I can smell the petrichor, mountain air, and feel the breeze on my own face. They both look absolutely beautiful as well. The rendering is affectionately silky as it gets. I think Diana Wynn Jones herself would be chuffed, absolutely honoured by this majestic, soulful depiction of her world.
Wow! This video and everything about it is absolutely beautiful! The aesthetic, the music, the flowers, the architecture, the landscape, the PAINTING! Probably one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched! Thank you! ❤
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and watching your process has made me want to start making art again, I've been in such a funk for the past year that I've had no inspiration at all. Thank you for sharing! ❤
💙 Just Stunning!! This was so worth the wait Ruth 😭!! Your painting process is literal magic and I can’t wait to get a print, because it is so worth having. You inspire me as an artist, and I’m just in awe of your skill. The video as a whole was beautiful and I love seeing how you gain your inspiration from film, other artist, and life itself. I wish you all the best ⭐️!
Yooooooo! I finally watched Over the Garden Wall for the first time last month, so I went back and rewatched your video about it, with context this time, and I just watched Howl's Moving Castle for the first time two days ago! Happy to see you post again, can't wait to watch this 🖌🎨
Oh my oh my!!! I’m so happy to have a new video from you! It’s definitely worth waiting a year for. Thank you, shared heart, for bringing so much beauty and pleasure into the world. 😘
Dude, so much effort put into this, it looks amazing. I've never dabbled in oils myself so this is extra impressive to me. Apple seems like a super cool friend to have, say hi to them :D
I saw your video for the first time and I gotta say, your art is amazing! I'm impressed how you manage to do it while working in London. Hope you have a great path in art.
You're literally becoming my favorite modern date artist. I just love your style - since I study the Renaissance all the way through the Rubenesque area and a little further, you just recall so much from the old master that makes me smile. Keep up the good work! Hope to own one of your piece one day.
I follow the progress on this painting on instagram and it was so weird to see actual models in this video, I already felt like they are painting characters! 💜
I'm amazed by such a work of art... this video came up as a recommendation and I'm grateful for taking time to watch it. Howl's moving castle is one of my favorite movies, my heart is warm by your art. Congratulations on such mastery!
I saw your posts on Instagram and I’m SO glad I found this video!! This is incredible. The type of work I make is nothing compared to this but it’s so inspiring to watch you work!!
