    I always enjoy your vidoes, Orla, but this one was extra terrific. I love your art style and watching your process and hearing your thoughts on developing an idea. I am also so impressed that you can film yourself as while you are in the midst of creative brainstorming! Its quite the feat! And your finished.product is fantastic. Look forward to your next vid!

      Thank you so much! I find making these super helpful for understanding where I'm going with the work :) 📸 ☀️

    I am so loving these 'hiking' and sporty figures, amazing how a drag or blob of paint, ink or crayon can look so detailed. Haven't been able to watch your videos for a while, when I do I am always excited by your exploration and freedom, and not making your work rigid or stiff. Thank you for sharing your stories Orla, love the picture resulting from sleeping on the frozen bog.

    I envy your ability to create such magnificent art while kneeling on the floor!!!
    If I tried that I'd never be able to get back up.... much less do any creating....🤣.
    Love your style and you are delightful....just subscribed.....thankyou for this video.

    One of my favourite videos of yours! Love seeing the process of how you take already painted surfaces and transform them into something really expressive and atmospheric.

      I think this one is my favorite as well! And I love hand made concertina sketchbooks. I love the idea of using it to tell a story.

    LOVE your work!!! Your use of colours, textures, mark making and different materials….SO YUMMY! 😍 Really loved your working over previous work 🤩 Love the contrast between yummy colours and the darks…SO DYNAMIC….really excites my eyes and feelings. LOVE the way you draw your figures but don’t enjoy them in the landscapes so much. I think your landscapes say enough on their own ( SO GORGEOUS) and the figures seem to over complicate them. However I did like the first one you did….thought that worked really well. You are such an inspiration 🙏 Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

    Hey Orla. As always, such a privilege to see your work, hear your thoughts. I can't believe that you ended up camping where you did in lockdown! Wow! I can't imagine how cold you two were!
    The photos you took of the beautiful snow blanketed landscape are breathtaking.
    Thank you for sharing x Nell.

    Why did you put closed captions/ a transcription of your voice in this video? Sorry but it’s distracting and those who prefer can just put on the CC in RUclips themselves 😉

    • @hazeleyedrebel
      @hazeleyedrebel 2 месяца назад +1

      I do not see closed captions. You can turn it on or off, on the video. You may want to turn it off😊

      thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it! :)
      I added the embedded text as I've been watching lots of youtube videos where video makers had included this, and I as a viewer I really enjoyed the addition. Plus, just fun to experiment with how I create videos - but I can totally see your point and will keep it in mind for my next videos 💫

    • @__ink__
      @__ink__ 2 месяца назад +8

      I really didn’t mean to be harsh but just wanted to say that I enjoy seeing the art and not more “moving / scribbling words” on top of the already moving video. I understand that some people turn the sound down and the CC on but please let that be to each their own choice… it will also save you a lot of extra work. Love your work & the videos ♥️!

      I think it is very inclusive and if the creator chooses to, they should!
