    I love how enthusiastic James can be and Leigh gives him NOTHING in return. My husband and I love how monotone Leigh can be when responding to James lol. James: LEIGH GUESS WHAT Leigh: what. The dynamic is hilarious hahaha

    Finally able to sit down and watch this 😊❤
    I have to say that you are one of the people in the artist world that inspire me the most... I adore your art so much.
    My biggest flaw when I draw is that I am too hung up on details... for instance when I draw a bird I get too hung up on where certain markings should be in the feathers, I get too hung up in finding the exact perfect shade of a color when coloring etc etc
    It´s becoming a hindrance in my art and I hate it so I have a goal right now to become more loose with my art and not focus too much on details 😊
    Thank you once more for an awesome video... I love watching you create 😊
    hugs from Finland

    No water bottle in the intro, how dare you🫣 loving your super casual sketches, and every time I see you using that pilot bravo I’m like thisclose to getting one for myself. It looks like the lines are sooo black and luscious! I use pens a lot and they’re constantly drying out on me and I’m always looking for perfect one.

    Since your talking about inspirations I can definitely say your one of my inspirations 💕 especially now with hearing that you decided to draw 5 years ago and this led you to this business. I’m looking into something like this for me too but I’ve always been a bit self conscious with making art but now I’m like ‘what the heck? Why not?’ And gonna try it out and see how it goes. I’m also looking into handcrafting stuff too and just being creative. I write but I think I haven’t used my artistic side of my brain as much over the years so I’m excited to tap into it. Loved the video as always! :)

  • @CutiePie1989
    @CutiePie1989 2 года назад +2

    So watching you paint, I couldn’t stop looking over at the paint palette and thinking that it looked like a painting itself. The different splotches look like a forest scene with a big brush of flowers, it’s so pretty. And even adding to it as you painted only enhanced the vision I saw. So weird, I know. XD

    @fremont111 2 года назад +1

    i really love the 'idea' of this lifestyle and taking my art to that kind of level BUT when i hear you talk about wanting real work/life balance and when i see how much work you have to do that isn't just creating...it makes me nervous. i've always worried about artmaking becoming a high pressure situation. not saying i'd be BIG, but i've done etsy as well and i see where the potential is...i guess i have some fear of success? lol. if that makes sense.

    • @LeighEllexson
      @LeighEllexson  2 года назад

      Totally makes sense. The job I'm doing now outside of creating is weird and you have to kind of figure everything out on your own! It's daunting and you don't know what to expect.

    As always, I mostly enjoy tha art making part if the videos, and I liked the Q&A so much!
    For me it is so interesting how you paint such a strong beground color after you painted such a detailed, fine lines kind of a bouquet. I'm new to gouache, and trying to get a grasp on the technic.
    What kind of brush do you use with gouache? I prefer the flat ones, but yours is an interesting long bristle one, and I like the process of how it paints and also the result :)

I'm introverted and get really exhausted around people so I had to set some boundaries to preserve my energy. I've definitely cut down on time spent with people outside of work because of it so idk if I've figured it out yet.
