Wow. Amazing work, not only on the painting (which looks gorgeous), but the whole video. I felt nothing but joy to sit through 40+ minutes of you planning, designing, sketching and painting this piece. If anything, I have a single complaint: I really wanted to see how you painted lips but you skipped on both faces 😂 That's okay though. I hope you keep posting more videos like this. Thanks!
Thank you!!! Bahaha I always get sooo close up to the surface when I paint the lips and I didn't want to have the camera in the way! I'll remember this for next time though :)
After seeing so many Timelapse paintings all the time, there’s something so much more relaxing about seeing someone paint in real time. More channels need to consider doing it. (I know some of it is Timelapse here, but usually painting videos I’ve seen are 100% Timelapse)
You explaining the Spongebob plot to your dad, and his empathetic "oh no!'" is so cute 😄 What a beautiful painting, I have to second the thanks for showing us the entire process 🤍
I could never quite imagine how the greats captured such dimension and better-than-life creations and now i see how. it's astonishing how art links all artists together from any style and genre, but such old techniques connect you with even older artists from history and it makes me emotional seeing people like you now creating in a similar way to people a few hundred years ago, like they're all creating together. the music you chose matched with the painting gives me a feeling i can't quite describe.
This is magical! We started out watching for the materials, technique, and studio craft, but there's so much more here than process alone. That happens a lot for us, watching artists work. We often get carried away by the experience!
Okay three things: 1) you are playing my favourite vintage Halloween music, instantly hooked. 2) I also moved to London (from America) for gradschool two years ago, GREAT decision 3) amazing art -- youve got a new subscriber!!
The level of process that goes into making the price aka the taking notes and photographing is actually inspiring as an artist I tend to go straight into my work without much reference beyond photos online or from my camera roll but this video makes me want to take the development processes more serious and make them more fun and artsy too. I always liked doing research and such with my art I just feel guilty sometimes If I linger on that stage too long as we live in a world focused more on end results.
I almost can’t believe that human hands created your artwork. Your talent is truly remarkable. No other art has ever made me feel quite the way yours does 💖
Magnificent painting! Their faces are simply stunning and so adorable - from the tiny freckles to their arresting eyes! If I came across this in a museum, I'd spend at least an hour staring at it and ignoring the everything else in existence
How do not get crippled by the pressure? I'm sure you had your struggles that were not shown on camera, but wow, the sheer commitment you have is so inspiring and astounding. Phenomenal job!
this is literally the most beautiful thing i have ever seen my entire life the fact 90,000 people watched this and had the audacity to not like it confuses me I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Would you mind (one day) making a video about your art journey or how you became so good ? :) You are one of the few artists that, once in a while, when I stumble upon their work, just makes me obsessed about the beauty/perfection/émotion of their pieces, and a glimpse into their imagination. I feel like you're still underrated, even though you are pretty successful ♥ I'm so happy that you chose to share your process with us , thank you ♥
I JUST found this video and you have no idea how incredibly sad I am that the prints are no longer available. Absolutely gorgeous, one of my favorite shows.
I really thought people just do some research and start sketching the painting and then paint over it, and now I see that I'm hella wrong lol. All of your work and dedication is focking amazing
No no you're actually right, a lot of people do!! Some people go directly into painting with no planning as well, which is just as amazing! There are a billion different processes people do based on what works for them, and all of them are fascinating. this is just my way of doing things, not *the* right way
@@ruthspeer8475 lmao but your art is so precise that I think you're doing something right And also I know that people can paint amazing things with zero to no research and preparation. but I think that to draw like you do, the prep work is really important, and it shows.
I dont normally comment on things but I HAD to. The end result is absolutely stunning. You hit every note from the show perfectly and stayed true to the style of the era!! Well done 💖
WAAAAAHHHH IT’S SOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!! Also watching you glow while explaining things really inspires me to do more art. Thank you so much for the passion boost! 😊
The exhibition it’s at is actually near me!! i can’t wait to go see it in october and really feel the fall spirit! it turned out mesmerizing and wouldn’t been out of place in Quincy Endicotts mansion
Your video style and aesthetic immediately made me think you’re like the Bernadette Banner of traditional art. Gorgeous, gorgeous painting and a really well put together video to go with it. This is wonderful!
Wow such a beautiful video! I love how you showed the whole process so in depth! The painting is so beautiful 😍 and the 🎃✨ aesthetic ✨🎃 was all I needed to start the day!
This is absolutely gorgeous. I don't understand why this has so "few" views... you're very talented and hard-working, one can see this through this painting. Thanks for creating this ♥
I love the overall vibes this video gives me, brings me so much inspiration. Absolutely stunning, Ruth! Can't believe I haven't seen your yt channel before, I've been following you forever on ig. I love this, fantastic work 💘
That is absolutely beautiful! Also the consistency of the vintage/victorian aesthetic all throughout the video made it a joy to watch. Incredible work!
It’s so nice to see a process video with the use of model references and such in depth research and detailed sketching!! That’s almost exactly how I work as an illustrator and artist and I sometimes feel as though I’m doing something wrong by working in realism and more traditional methods where many of my contemporaries have more modern methods and styles that are faster and simpler. I often find myself having to remember that Norman Rockwell, one of the founding fathers of illustrative art, worked very traditionally so why can’t I? This video is so beyond inspiring and encouraging!!! Thanks for making dope things!!
I don't normally comment on videos but this one was so beautifully made so I had to. Ever since I finished school I've been lost to what I wanted to study next, I didn't know for certain if art would get me somewhere. And so I got a job and spent most of the year being miserable. I wouldn't draw anymore nor do the things I was so passionate about. I felt like an empty shell of what I once was and of what I had hope to become. By kind of accident I got interested and enrolled in a career that is not specifically an art career but a design one. And so I started studying, quit my job and got back into art. That was about 2 months ago and now I'm finally getting back into art and the things that are good for me, that make me feel alive. It is something so difficult to explain but this is the kind of content that makes us want to continue and to push through all the obstacles and uncertainties that get in our way. I think this mightve gotten a bit too long :) but when watching this while drawing for school, I felt joy and so much more overwhelmingemotions . I had to stop drawing because my eyes were too blurry at times. So anyways, if you happen to read this, thank you
I just wanted you to know how dazzling this was for me to watch. That probably doesn't mean a lot coming from a non-painter, but I was so blown away by this experience. RU-vid showed this video to me at pretty much random, and having seen the finished product on Instagram, I thought I'd watch a bit out of curiosity and then move on. I watched this whole thing, and I really wish I could express to you how magical watching it was. You started making the mock-up on your tablet and I thought, "Hmm, I remembered this having been a real painting, but I guess I can't expect someone on RU-vid to be able to paint THAT well in real life." And then you pulled out the canvas and I died!! There were so many moments like that-- you would paint on these blocky bold colors and I would think, "Wow, what a cool stylistic choice!" And then you would blend them and it would be a perfect hand! The range of shades on Wert's face that all coalesced into a perfectly natural looking skin tone! While you were painting Beatrice, I admit I thought, "Oh, it's a shame she just chose to make her pretty." But then looking at the final product, the subtle expression of exasperation there!! Exhilarating! It's such a perfect representation of the characters while being so separate from the style of the show. I go to museums and see paintings of Christ and Venus and I'm unmoved, but seeing these lil guys venerated like this... I get it. I get portraiture. I wanna go out and buy a book about portraits. And you did that! I hope you're proud.
This might sound stupid, but I never knew that so much research could stay behind a painting. I never came across another video that shows this kind of process, which also made me feel like I was included, like I'm not just a stranger, like I deserve to know these kind of "secrets" about the making of the painting.
Your painting style is the most satisfying thing to watch! The paint glides on like butter! Incredible to see the master at work, whenever someone asks me who my favourite artist is i say its you 💖
Wow I saw this on TikTok this morning and then it just popped up here! What a lovely painting I wish success with your adventures in grad school you're gonna go far you're very talented
That one song going on poor Johnny lol. Finally, someone who feels the same about pallet knives! I used one for my last painting because I guess I felt I was missing something but ugh no. I have old beat-up brushes that can do the same job and with acrylic time is precious so I might as well use the brush that is already in my hand. As always, wonderful job and good luck in London!
Everything about this video was perfect Ruth, the planning, the real time painting, the moments with family it was all so raw and beautiful. I really enjoyed every minute of it! I wish you had more of these tbh 😭, and also I wish I saw this before the print release. Will you ever have more made? I’ve never watched this show before, but now I’m willing to because you made an absolute masterpiece. I can go on and on, but overall awesome job and I look forward to seeing more videos in the future if possible for you. Thanks for all your hard work and effort 🙏🏾!
ive been following this adventure on instagram from the very beginning and i loved every step of the process, ive shared every iteration and i am in complete awe of your paintings. otgw is one of my fave shows and seeing it some to life is super cool! your extremely talented!
Your artwork is always such phenomenal inspiration, makes me want to paint immediately. And I love how you format these videos, their own little works of art as well. Good luck with moving and the start of grad school!
Painting left me speechless omg. Amazing! But it’s the way I audibly thanked god when you filled in that bit behind his ear. i mean, i knew you we’re going to, but if you weren’t I would have adjusted to that vision lol.
This helped me so much. Usually I avoid watching art videos anywhere because they make me feel really shitty about my art abilities. This video though is an exception. This showed me how a painting should be made. Thank you, this made me motivated to draw❤️
This is amazing! getting to see the whole process from start to finish makes me appreciate the final product even more. So much planning, research, and details all in one work of art done so lovingly. Truly beautiful.
Your place looks so cozy and amazing, I second the request for a home tour. :) Also I desperately need to know what the fat Penguin book in the background is (at the 7:00 minute mark) "The ... .... "? Anyway, I will never get tired of your videos and watching you paint, love your art. ❤
I think that's The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca Solnit, a book of essays my friend Mick gave me!! I haven't finished it but it comes highly recommended by him
@@ruthspeer8475 oh, while looking it up I realised it's the orange Penguin book next to the one I meant. Sorry, I should have described it better 😅 I meant the hefty black Penguin classics edition to its right. Maybe it's the Canterbury Tales?
@@DRT813 OHH that's the complete poems of Christina Rossetti!! DG Rossetti (the preraphaelite painter) 's sister! She was an AMAZING poet, one of my favorites!!! It's indeed a huge book
Absolutely wonderful! Such a delight to watch! It looks like magic; watching you put paint exactly where it goes & turn a tinted drawing into a three dimensional illusion, far better than any camera I have encountered. I also like the music choices and the real-time format of the video
Inspiring, this is a great video in every way, thank you, your work is so good and I love over the garden wall, not surprised that the prints have sold out, it's a masterful and wonderfully fun painting.
this is my first time watching a video of yours! the RU-vid algorithm must have looked at my interests and said "this video checks off all her obsessions, we HAVE to recommend it to her!" Art? Check! History? Check! Over the Garden Wall? Check!! absolutely beautiful work, i can't wait to see more of your content!
OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO UPLOAD FOREVER! I love your art style and the vibe of your videos. I’m able to watch 40 minutes plus of your stuff and it is always so engaging and enjoyable. Your voice is so soothing and I’m glad I saw this video. The painting is absolutely gorgeous! This has literally made my day. I hope you have a wonderful one
You're so good at what you do!!! Not only the painting looks so very amazing but the whole video is so well put together, I can only imagine how hard it must've been to film and edit this whole thing!
i love this so much! thank youf or making these process videos, its so cool to see! my favourite part is the painting bit. i love how long the footage is, showing some parts slow and some fast, showing the different sections. its fascinating to see how someone actually makes this painting a reality, and also i just find it very relaxing
This is absolutely stunning! All the thought, details, and work you put into this painting is extraordinary. It’s so beautiful and the video itself is very relaxing to watch.
