Fantastic tips! For the "fresh eyes" one, I discovered that holding your painting up to a mirror will really change how you see it. Seeing it in reverse makes all the flaws come out.
I’ve been stuck in an art rut recently and I’ve been watching SO MANY videos of yours that I love to help get some info and inspiration. Thank you for another great video! 💕
I'm a little late but one of my favorite ways to get a fresh perspective that an art teacher taught me is to turn your piece and reference upside down. It helps you see the shapes in a different way because, for example, a face doesn't look like a face when it's upside down so your brain stops assuming things that aren't there.
1. Composition 2. Masking tapes 3. References 4. Transfer drawings/ tracing drawings 5. Premixing colours 6. Use the right surface 7. Contrast 8. Varnish 9. Get a fresh eye 10. Photograph well
for the problem of getting lost in your painting, i REALLY recommend looking at your piece through a mirror. if you don’t have an outside person on hand, looking in a mirror is almost equivalent if not better!
Hey!! One thing I've learned for 6:40 is taking a photo and use a mirroring effect. You can also literally hold up your painting in front of a mirror, and It will look completely fresh eyed to you. And you will spot things such as mistakes and proportion errors you didn't see before.
Is it weird for a cartoonist that draws with markers to get an apron to feel more artisty? 😳 btw I LOVE your work! I’m saving up to buy one of your paintings!
Robin sealark I just want you to know that I'm very very inspired by your work. You're my Inspiration when it comes to Art (really I'm serious) Thank you Robin! I hope you'll read this.
GOTTA ADD THIS! sorry if someone already said this but a great way to immediately get "fresh eyes" is to look at your piece in a mirror! mistakes become GLARINGLY obvious, especially with portraits and works of people in general. another one I've used is looking at the piece from different distances. it's a great substitute for when you can't take a picture, i used to do it a lot before i had a good camera phone.
I've been using masking tape for my art and protects since I was 8 and I freaking love it! Got an art on when you said it. I learned to draw using a glow desk, tracing pictures and it gave me a love for making art.
I’m going to have to watch this again. You’re a picture of the sunflower just kept drawing more to it. It is beautiful. Let me go ahead and say thank you for all the tips you’re giving me as I go back and watch them again 🙂🙃
I've only discovered you in the last few days and not only are you informative, but you are also super funny and memorable! Thank you for your insight!!
Thank you! My favorite part is the colors on your 🎨 next to both the waves and mountains and streams. They were works of art and I hope you save and frame them!
thank you for the tip on removing the masking tape with a heated hairdryer!! I always wondered what I was doing wrong, always tearing the paper, even when removing the tape really carefully!!! Thanks!
Aw man, can I admire you more? You're the reason why I came back to painting after a long, looooong depressing time. I can't wait to finally be able to get one of your paintings as a sign of gratitude, as well as a constant reminder that painting is always there for me. Ah, I don't even know how to say it but your personality itself is so uplifting, I genuinely wish I could have a nice talk over a coffee with you. Thank you, Robin. And, hopefully without sounding creepy, did you get married? :) cuz I just noticed the name change. I wish you all the best, happy wave:)!
6:52 To look at something with a new fresh perspective, flip it upside down, or mirror it. That's the same effect we get when we have an image of ourself when we look at the mirror, but we think we look different on our phone camera.
Yay Hoodie is back! Thanks for the tips and tricks! Do you have any recommendations on good but inexpensive cameras to take reference photos and photos of work?
A dslr from Connor or Nikon would be great. You can get one refurbished to cut costs or honestly a smart phone with a nice camera will work for photographing work as long as you have good lighting !
These are great tips, I stare at my work upside down for awhile if something is off but I can't tell what. This also works when I'm trying to decide if a piece is finished.
Woah! I just randomly stumbled upon this video (my first of your channel) and I am already a fan, Robin. Probably the fastest 'subscribe' I have ever hit. Now, onto bingeing on the rest!
Hey robin:),i've tried the tracing method a couple of times and i've recognized that it really helped me to produce a more realistic and detailed pieces, but sometimes i feel like it's cheating, what about you, don't you classify this method as cheating because sometimes i just feel like im not capable of drawing something so accurate,and tracing helps me to save time and go paint immediately and thats what im searching for:)
Your videos are amazing - thanks for sharing! 🌈 Something that I would love to know more about: how to keep your house clean as an oil painter (aka how to get your security deposit back from an apartment complex as an artist). 😄Just getting started and I track paint EVERYWHERE. Thank you again for all the tips and encouragement!
Haha I move in a little over two weeks so we'll see f I get it back XD. Luckily I have laminate floors which makes paint a lot earlier to clean.my car has a number of paint spots inside from plein air painting in it but honestly my living room is pretty good. I also usually paint tiny things using very conservative amounts of paint which helps ha.
I've always had a fear to build up tone, cause I keep thinking it'll ruin the piece. But I've started to build up more tone and......omfg it makes the biggest difference! Such a key technique!
Subbed within seconds. Lady, you are the epitome of freaking ADORABLE, and obviously oozing talent right through the prodigal hoodie sleeves. I'm a fossil of 44 and just recently felt a brain-popping call to hurl myself into a canvas so I'm a bit overwhelmed. Thank you...you simply SHINE. 🌟
Nice video, I learned a thing or two. I loved step 4: trace someone else’s work. Lol you never clarified ... are you tracing a drawing you did earlier, or just “borrowing” a stock image outline?
YES. These are some good tips!
I can't stress reference enough and don't understand where this "reference = cheating" came from online!
Oh my good hi I’m a big fan
Yeah
People feel that its like stealing someones art
probably non-art people, or beginners or peeps who just dont understand art that well. But still thats such a 🤦♂️ thing to say..
@@Henzeus its because its similar to tracing and im sure you know why people hate tracing
Your editing is amazing as always.
ROBINS BACK, BABY!!
rae your art is amazing also

I've done this with pencil portraits for years and it really helps with symmetry!
The biggest stupidest smile spread across my fave when I realized you were talking about hoodie
I always take a photo of my paintings. It just gives me a whole different view
3:25 As Long as you don’t trace OTHER peoples art or photographs without them knowing and claiming it as your own.. It’s fine.
Shade at holly 😂
First: YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!
Second: YEEEESSS ANOTHER VIDEO FROM ROBIN!
Third: I LOVE THIS VIDEO! AMAZING LIKE ALWAYS
I’ve been stuck in an art rut recently and I’ve been watching SO MANY videos of yours that I love to help get some info and inspiration. Thank you for another great video! 💕

Robin Sealark oh my gosh you literally just made my day! Lol You’re so cool robin! 😁
Mello Chello sometimes I even put one on when putting food in the microwave to feel like a chef
ImageSounds ayyy! i can rock with that! 😎👍🏻
Not weird! Any ritual that gets you into the artistic frame of mind is good. I put on my dragon necklace to slay the art demons! LOL.
I LOVE that you use an old record as a paint pallet it's really cool!
Robin sealark I just want you to know that I'm very very inspired by your work. You're my Inspiration when it comes to Art (really I'm serious) Thank you Robin! I hope you'll read this.
Roberto Mago III that’s great
You are my spirit animal from now on. I love you. I am far away from art but today I feel like I can do something. You are precious.

With the masking tape I have always put it ok n my pants then put it on the paper and it comes off super duper clean
I’m going to have to watch this again. You’re a picture of the sunflower just kept drawing more to it. It is beautiful. Let me go ahead and say thank you for all the tips you’re giving me as I go back and watch them again 🙂🙃
