Im going to college to study art in september! I’m very nervous but whenever I watch your videos they always help me out when I'm struggling with art. Just recently bought your craftamo brushes, IM SOO EXCITED FOR THEM TO COME IN!
As a tip: remember grades aren't everything when it comes to degrees in things like art (or degrees in general). As long as you're happy with the work you make and pass the classes (while learning what you need) you'll do fine. Don't push yourself so hard you burn out just doing schoolwork, but also don't slack on schoolwork to do fun work. Also, most schools don't teach the business side of art- self employed or contract work type jobs- so learning that alongside the main creating fundamentals is super important for success. Finally remember there's no shame in dropping out, transferring schools, or going on a self-taught hiatus if the classes aren't really teaching you much anymore. I personally dropped my classes at my state University for that reason (plus it was pandemic time so things were heavily changed up in my painting classes to avoid oils for students who hadn't learned safety information to use at home)
Violet! I'm so excited for you!! Studying art is an incredible opportunity! Good luck with everything and stay excited!! Also thank you so much for buying my brushes! They are sold out now thanks to people like you
Exquisitely done! Solar’s skin is heavenly and you captured it so well. Seems like you were patient and savored the process rather than aggressively pushing towards the outcome. I am starting to see the importance of that in my own art. Thanks for sharing!
LOVED this video Ham!!! I can see the confidence in your strokes. A good painting session is the best feeling in the world- when everything just seems to fall into place. Thank you for talking about your struggles, it's a familiar experience! I have those days (or weeks, or months 😅) where I feel like I've completely forgotten how to paint. I'm so glad you were able to work through it and come out on the other side with this beautiful piece! Also that underpainting color next to those sienna hues - GORGEOUS 😍 I need to get my hands on that Holbein color haha
Em! I think you would love their Irodori sets! They are colors that reflect the seasons in Japan. This pale patina is in their spring collection which is so gorgeous!
I love these narrated paint alongs because you'd never know all the thoughts that the artist is thinking as they paint without it😅 You'd just see a beautiful painting and not know all the choices and self-criticisms that the artist went through to paint it! ❤
I'm sick right now and can't paint very much until after surgery. I miss it so much. Can't wait to get back to it in 6 weeks time. Your videos are always so inspiring. I'm glad you found a way to get back into loving gouache again, it really is a versatile medium. Keep up the good work!
This is absolutely gorgeous -- thank you for sharing!! I love how you showed the build up from more transparent, easily-buildable, to thicker opaque consistency. It's the main reason I love gouache - it's so versatile and forgiving!!
I looove this painting and the process, and I am so glad that you’re out of that art block. Your use of watercolour and gouache are incredible and I’m glad you didn’t give up! ❤❤❤
You are so humble! Your technique is so beautiful and I see you as one of the greatest gouache artist ever! Im starting to practice gouache portraits and is so hard
Hey, Anytime i draw portraits, I use the loomis method and all, But i still find myself get the eye size, Lip size and law wrong, I follow every step correctly but they still come out wrong, It's so frustrating i almost want to give up, Any tips?
Its awesome!! Really wanted to get back to my painting process..its out of topic but anybody knows that himi goucha paint is really non toxic while pregnant. Really scared to use any medium of paints may be it could harm my baby .. i have googled up and saw oils and using cadmium is really harmful but not sure about goucha if anyone knows let me know
Some brands have warnings in the tubes and or packages, but if not you have to google the pigment. Hazardous pigments can be in any colors (watercolor, gouache, acrylics, oils etc.). For safety you can also use either protective barrier cream in your hands or protective gloves. (I’d use cream if oil painting or using pastels, but ofc then ventilation is very important as well). Regarding HIMI, I did not find actual pigment info, but several sites do mention they should be non-toxic/non-hazardous (ASTM D-4236 and EU EN71 certified).
You weren’t kidding, that background teal color is gorgeous, it really gives the whole painting an ethereal quality
Thank you so much!!! It's such a beautiful color! I wouldn't have bought it by itself but it think it came with the holbein Summer collection

It's something I have to re-learn very often too. Thank you for watching!
The extra texture on the hair was subtle but made the look soooo much more! This came out beautifully

Thank you so much for watching! I love talking while I paint so it's validating to know that someone likes the voiceovers haha
I like how soft this painting turned out while still retaining details. Awesome job!
THIS IS SOOO BEAUTIFULL!!!

Do you have any more plans for making skillshare classes? I'm interested to see your ideas on what you're gonna do there.
That is a beautiful portrait! So, is she a book character or what?
