I remember years ago sitting down by a pond, sketching wild geese and ducks pittering about in the grass. It was such a calming yet thrilling experience. Some of them even offered an up close look and gathered around me, within arm's reach, like they wanted me to catch their good side! The sketches from that day were some of the most tender and full realized drawings I'd ever done. It really is a pleasant experience drawing animals from life than from photos!
Do you think at any point you'd endeavor in putting together a book of some of your sketches from your various sketchbooks? Heck, you probably have so many sketchbooks filled at this point that you could do an entire series of sketchbook collections! :) Just thought I'd put the idea out there, especially since I've seen other people ask about it occasionally in the comments, 'cause I would certainly be interested in purchasing a book of your sketches. :)
@@AaronBlaiseArt Awesome! :D Can't wait for it to come out! I always love seeing other artists' sketches and "quick thoughts/renders," so to speak. I find a lot of inspiration in them and also find them to be very beautiful in their sketchiness.
Thank you so much for sharing this trip with your fans Aaron. This is exactly the kind of heartfelt discussion of art and how you practice that I needed to hear. Your videos inspire me so much to keep practicing and help remind me of what I truly love and will always love about drawing.
I have problems with mobilty Aaron but I remember you mentioning live cameras so I've started using those such as explore.com, African waterholes and Brooks Falls amongst my favourites. I'm hoping my wife will take me to a open farm soon although cattle and horses in the next field to where my son plays cricket. Do hope to take one of your classes soon.
hi! loved watching this! Please do more videos of you drawing for life! It's so interesting to watch and educating to see how you do it. Love your work!
I agree with u... I am an artist who gets carried away if i make up my mind to draw... But as a cinematographer which i am n aspire to more over time, scouting, set lighting, script reading n really gives me same vibe as i feel the same as drawing from life.... I am subscriber from RUclips n i am a hardcore traditional approach to life .. breaking complex to simple approach n trying to making them real n believable 😁... I really wish to meet u n stare n find inspiration from u if i ever meet you.. I am from the city of Kolkata 😁... Art can only be learnt in real scenarios..
I think Aaron is a great artist, and i’ve been learning valuable information from live sketching and drawing. But when we have animals as the core of our work we also have to be aware of who we promote. Animals of Montana (as any business like that) uses animals as mere products and mistreat them. This particular business has been proven to treat their animals horribly and finally a year ago they lost their license. As artists we also have a responsibility and protecting and advocating for animals. The beauty of our art needs to reach beyond the page.
drawing things moving is a skill you can achieve - if you sketch a lot, your visual memory becomes longer over time. Another thing you can do when the animal changes position, to start on a new drawing, and then when/if the animal returns to that position, you can try to finish it =)
You should draw more birds, not hawks and eagles (although you draw great hawks and eagles) but smaller birds like parrots and cardinals. I would love that

Perfectly stated.
Love your work Aaron, would love to see you draw some more domestic type animals, cows perhaps?
Cows are one of my favorite animals ♡
I might try that, i mean, i do have exclusive night-time access to ur mother

We are in the process of putting one together now.

I love drawing from life. There's something about being able to zone in, lose track of time, and just draw!
There is so much life in your sketches
Thanks for Blaise-ing a trail for all the young and old artists alike over the years

Peterhan at your side was very nice to see!
I agree as I do myself .. I am always in practice creating n filling visual library...
Another inspiring video! Love your work Aaron
Very interesting and useful advice! Thank you!
Aaron, I'm a super big fan. Can you do a video on your studio, workstation, desk, equipment, etc.?
Hey, I've just figured out you look like an older version of Bradley Cooper
You're amazing in every way
Wonderful advice! Great to have Dustin photographing this time. 👍🏻 Beautiful work as always. ❤️
Awesome Aaron!
Amazing...
God put a lot of beauty in the world, it´s amazing that He gave us the brains to picture them so neatly through drawing, while enjoying what He made
I love this video Mr. Blaise

Is that the japan brush pen? Just curious haha
Ale Art it might be the Copic brush pen
Charles Mohr yeah u right! Thanks :)
ww , your work is amazing , i hope i will b like u someday 😭 you are lucky have beautiful art life style and perfect art skills 😭
Very nice drawings! But how are you able to draw the animals when they keep moving?
drawing things moving is a skill you can achieve - if you sketch a lot, your visual memory becomes longer over time. Another thing you can do when the animal changes position, to start on a new drawing, and then when/if the animal returns to that position, you can try to finish it =)
Im not sure, but im gonna guess that over time, u get a more photographic memory, and u learn the anatomy better and how the animal kind of just flows
HI I REALLY ADMIRE YOU
You should draw more birds, not hawks and eagles (although you draw great hawks and eagles) but smaller birds like parrots and cardinals. I would love that

So you went to a game farm were animals are raised to be killed by hunters instead of finding another sanctuary?
