Yay it’s been a while! I just wanted to let you know that I suffer from an incurable illness and I get a lot of anxiety because of it and your channel is always a source of stress relief and calmness for me. Love your work so much ❤️ also you’ve inspired me to start my own channel even though I’m nowhere as good as you
thank you so much Prisca I'm touched knowing that my videos help you to destress. I work really hard to make my videos relaxing; I would never want someone see art as something scary or out of reach, so It makes me so so happy that you've started your own channel! ❤️ I'm having a hard time expressing my feelings on here but I hope you know how much i appreciate this comment
People often think that all they need to create good art is the technique but you need to know the fundamentals of how you can draw attention to certain parts of the piece etc to bring the paintings full potential
I love your color layering in this video!! i just started working with gouache and this was really fun and insightful to watch. Keep up the amazing work
I usually don't comment (introvert perks) but this video forced me to...because of how helpful this is...this helped me so much to understand the mixing blending and color usage...thank you so much. You are a saviour..
Throughout the whole video I was like "Holy shit this looks exactly like her" and then I finally realised it was written 'self portrait' on the title. That's how fast I clicked on that notification lol I just love your art, you're truly amazing
This is incredible! I absolutely love your technique 💜 and I love how truthful this is; the way you painted in all your imperfections gives this painting a sense of vulnerability that’s very revealing. I know for myself that showing a self portrait like this one on the internet would be difficult mentally and emotionally. Watching this feels like hearing your life story, and all of a sudden it’s like I know you better now. Thank you so much for sharing this! 😊
Amazing video. Art was great, no need to comment on that but wow, even your music choice. Started in a specific place, and gradually moved onto a totally different vibe. Loved the lofi chill hop feels once you got to your ears and hair.
Doll I have been watching u for awhile now and I just love watching u work with Gouache it's one reason I decided to try it for myself and I can also see improvements in ur work so lovely ur doing such an amazing job keep those creative juices flowing Doll
i only realized it was a self portrait like half way through and it made me like it even more! so beautiful and inspirational !! also what kid of reference? like mirror or photo or just from the brain??
I really really love this drawing. I can tell what this girl is feeling. I felt she was really sad, she wants to talk but she can't. there is something black keeping her scared, and butting her in a bad mood and she wants to cry but she doesn't cry, she kept it inside her. Wow really love it. Please if what I felt is right, let me know. Thank you so much for sharing this art with us. So much love from Saudi Arabia.
i kinda wanna see another gouache painting process but with a view on your palette...im a beginner and there aren't many videos that show how you mix colors or pick from the paints...just suggesting!
Thank you i'll work on that! Ive started doing it on a few of my watercolor videos as well :) I clean my brush only when using dramatically different colors black to white, blue to red, etc; but you can do every time if you want. I mix as I go, from the colors in/on my palette, unless I need a lot of a certain color then I'll mix a lot a head of time like for the background.
So inspiring... really want to try gouache soon... I'm saving to buy a few... any suggestions. (Anyone ) Also how far in advance do you plan your videos.?
thanks didi!! I think both Reeves and Arteza are both good options to start out with (they're cheap so you don't have to feel guilty about wasting paint). Reeves is better in a palette and Arteza is better straight out of the tube. they both cost about the same, but I have noticed the Arteza is a bit more lightfast. no matter what you get I would recommend getting a bigger tube of better quality white. I used up what came with my sets very quickly and the better quality improves how your paints feel since white is mixed with almost everything in gouache. When I have the extra money I plan on upgrading to Holbein or DaVinci but ill probably continue to use these for studies and sketchbook work :) good luck I hope you find something thats perfect for you! ❤️
I forgot to answer the second part whoopssssss normally just a week of head of time but since I've been working on more edit/recording heavy videos I'm planed up to mid July right now 😬 and already behind lol 🙃
I'm very curious, what kind of material is it? watercolor? why do you take so much? We have very pigmented colors in Russia and we take quite a bit. Great job! You are very talented!
i would also suggest starting with a monochromatic color palette (like black, white and grey) to learn the values and stuff and then it gets easier once you actually apply like real colors. i’m no expert tho lol
along with what NateIsADemigod said its also easier to paint small details (like hair) over the background instead of trying to paint around them at the end :)

Acne? Gods you’re a blessing. I sure as hell don’t draw my acne when I do a self portrait so I think you’re some sort of magical. Have a good day.
if anyone is ever confused on "blending but not over blending" THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING
I like how the blue background draws the attention into your eyes as a focal point.
I love the way you paint, it’s always so relaxing seeing you create a piece using so many colours that somehow fit together perfectly✨
Thank you!!!! ❤️ ❤️

I'd be interested in seeing your pallet throughout the painting because of how many colors you go through laying down.
Love the textures you left in the skin. Nothing is over blended and it gives a cool look to it
Wauw you are SO good with colors! And not scared to show details that we people have in our face! 👌🏽 thanks! I am going to try gouache!
The beginning music really reminds me of the spirited away soundtrack
yess it sounds like they used some samples from the movie :)
It is (and i don't care the comment is 2 years old) 😆

It's been a while since i've watched an art video as good as this one. Makes me wanna grab my palette and paintbrushes and paint for hours. 😍😍
I can't believe i just watched a 22 min video without getting bored
It was so relaxing and also your painting is so good like good isn't even enough
Omg this is magical. I wish i could paint like this
Amazing! Thanks for an art with so much soul n tenderness
Doing the ears close to last is a whole mood
this video taught me more about gouache and painting in general than any art class ive ever taken
your palette is so clean and this is such a gorgeous portrait

thank you so much!!
this is so beautiful!!! the detail work is outstanding :)
i love the subtle hints of different colors within the skin! really beautiful
I love that you chose to make a feature out of that pimple. The whole portrait was you not seeking to flatter yourself, just you in all its glory.
So good Rachel 🙌✌💜 Beautiful work, love the eyes 😊

do you clean your brush before you pick a new color? do you mix the colors as you go or do you make your own palette of the colors?

Thank you so much for filming and posting this! 😄💜
How long did it take to paint?
beautiful!
Awesome!
I'm very curious, what kind of material is it? watercolor? why do you take so much? We have very pigmented colors in Russia and we take quite a bit. Great job! You are very talented!
Julia Kozewnikova it's gouache
When I saw your videos thumbnail I thought you were painting Jael from ANTM cycle 8 haha.. then you mentioned it’s a self portrait
I'm not done with the video yet but I just want to say the bg music is good and dem beats tho at the beginning
Gemini! Great job!
I want to be able to paint in this style so badly but I dont know where to even start. I woukdnt know what colors to use or where to put them :/
if you havent already learned color theory and things i would reccomend starting there, the concept of color becomes a lot easier after that
i would also suggest starting with a monochromatic color palette (like black, white and grey) to learn the values and stuff and then it gets easier once you actually apply like real colors. i’m no expert tho lol
It's beautiful. Your very talented XD 👌
wow
Love it!!!! Question: any particular reason why you start with painting the background first or is it just a matter of preference?
I know this is from two weeks ago but, I think they do that to easily put contrast on the face. That way, the background wouldn't be too distracting.
along with what NateIsADemigod said its also easier to paint small details (like hair) over the background instead of trying to paint around them at the end :)
@@xrainey thanks so much!
