Love your videos Orla. You’ve encouraged me so much that I’ve now done 327 drawings & 80 small paint studies in 2024! Loving it more & more. Thanks. You’re fabulous!
Another inspiring video Orla, thank you. "Break your own rules" - a lesson for life I reckon! Looking forward to seeing where you get to in a month or so. Take good care.
Great vid as always lovely. Our writing is identical! I thought my e's and y's were unique... Well I love sharing them with awesome people. You are a top teacher btw . Thank you for the tuition!
Loving your ‘teaching yourself’ videos . Thankyou - it’s so informative to be watching the process and your development by doing it. I’m going to follow through and try them myself.......
Thanks so much - and I hope you enjoy the process / project if you give it a go too! Definitely feels fun to be challenging myself with these exercises! 😄
Haha! I just realized that your color swatches at 11:58 match your sweater. I guess it shouldn't surprise me that the colors that we gravitate to for our clothing would be the same colors that we tend to gravitate to when we make our art. I should compare my clothes to my art and see if the colors I'm using are the same.
haha yes - I think they kind of subconsciously inspire my colours in art, being surrounded by them! That'd be interesting to see if it's the same for you too :)
Loved this! I've been feeling so stuck with what to try and experiment with these few weeks. And your video and process reminded me of some really interesting techniques and exciting ideas to try.
I love this. Just subscribed I’m trying to improve my art and this is so helpful for me. I love these quick paint sketches you are so talented and your sense of color is everything. I almost always have to see pink in any art to love it. Color is the most important part along w value
You are such a lovely Artist ❤ Love your work and explorations ❤️ You are SO inspiring and helpful with bundles of enthusiasm ❤️ Love that you are working on bigger pieces….can I just say….that the yellow on your bigger piece doesn’t sit right with me, I don’t know if it is that particular colour yellow or the yellow itself?? I love colour…..so not sure what it is that I find disharmonious? 😳 Everything else you do is Awesome 😊
Aw thank you! And I totally know what you mean; I thought the same - I'm thinking maybe it's not just the colour but the opacity? Something about it being so flat and harsh in comparison to the delicacy of everything else...Will be interesting to try to capture that luminous yellow-green of the seaweeds again! ♥️

Photo value-check, that’s what I will add into practice. Thank you Orla, love seeing how you work in your space & the colors 💕
Thank you! Yeah it's such a great reminder - i keep forgetting to keep doing it when I'm painting 😄

You inspired me to go pick up my paint brush and that’s what I watch RUclips videos mostly for
Hello, welcome! 👋 Thanks so much - and me too, hot pink is just the best! Really happy to hear it's helped to get painting!
That a2 size paper looks a3 size from here at least. Also, I LOVE your first painting and all the texture!
A3 is only twice A4, or twice the size of a standard office printer paper. Not nearly as big as the sheet she’s using.
It's always hard to translate the sense of scale in the larger camera angles I think :) Thanks so much!! ☀️
Love your videos. Lease explain upside down painting more.
Thanks so much! That's a good idea for a future blog post / video :)

Love your videos Orla and your art is looking great. Tell us about yourself. Where do you live??? And what is it like where you live???
I’m sorry, did you say “too much texture”?! 😮
haha maybe I meant that it's more a case of no space or quiet for all the texture to 'breathe' and really sing :)
@ hehe good comeback 😉
That’s why it’s hard for me to follow rules to begin with… 😂
