Gouache Illustration Time-lapse and Voice Over✨| A Day at the Market🍄

[@sophiemurray6215]

I don’t usually leave comments, but really you’re doing some beautiful work, and I certainly feel grateful you’ve spent the time editing and sharing it all with us. I do watercolour, but am thinking of buying some gouache to just make the painting stronger, so I was very happy to find you. Thank you.

[@ChrisHongArt]

aw it means a lot to me to hear that! I don't often leave comments either on people's videos I watch unless I feel very compelled to for some reason, so it's very much appreciated! hope you enjoy the gouache! ^^

[@orkidbox]

I love seeing your technique. I never thought to use gouache thin to thick before. I normally just use it thick which makes it more difficult to get just what you want.

[@ChrisHongArt]

I have a hard time using gouache thick because I tend to use a ton of water XD too indecisive to go too thick :O I enjoy layering and building up my colours gradually ^^

[@PearFleur]

ooh so so pretty i love it :o

[@aishiksinha2751]

I love your art

[@masja1790]

Please don't be so hard on yourself...it makes everyone else look bad 😂😂 you are soooo good at what you do. So so talented. No one can look inside your head, and see what you wanted a painting to look like from the get go. We don't see the "flaws". All we see is a finished, marvellous piece of art. 💪💕

[@shadowseer07]

I think your rendering is amazing!! I find gouache very challenging, can you tell us more about the grisaille method?

[@ChrisHongArt]

yes I can def talk more about it in another video where I will be using that method! thanks! ☺️

[@stephenmiller5572]

This looks great, I love that you chose to take a transparent approach to gouache. Too many people on this app go opaque with gouache.

[@Applefablestudio]

I was drawn to your channel because of this wonderful painting. As an artist, I'm also a harsh critic of my own work and I want to go back to traditional art, as I grew up taught in the digital medium. You give me the inspiration to draw more scenery, a lot of artists tend to only draw portraits so yours is extra special!

[@Lilly-rv1vs]

Your voice + the art + the music nearly made me fall asleep. Its so peaceful I love it!

[@feshgogulululu]

Lilly Harris 100% agreed

[@Lilly-rv1vs]

fesh go gulululu thank you for bringing me back to this video omg

[@hoggboyy]

This painting makes me feel nostalgic for a time and place that never existed! Thank you for your work!

[@lonironi3754]

I am in awe of your work. The color pallet your perfect illustrations.

[@zigenlady]

I've gotten into the habit of watching (listening) to art videos while doing my illustration homework and I got a kick out of hearing that you do the same! Your videos and paintings are great, can't wait to listen to more :D

[@ChrisHongArt]

that's exactly why I feel the need to do voice overs for my videos even though it's so dang hard!! XD

[@bruceeggleston6073]

All I can say is WOW. You are incredible.

[@Kasvei]

This is actually one of my favorite paintings of yours. And I love how honest you are and not sugarcoating it. I find that it's hard to talk about how I feel about my illustrations sometimes c: thank you for this video !

[@ChrisHongArt]

aw thank you, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it! :D

[@judilynn9569]

You spent the first several minutes speaking of your abilities negatively. That heart my heart. You are a great draftsperson. This painting is awesome.

[@yongoh86]

마음이 따뜻해지는 아름다운 그림입니다.
I like your picture.

[@linzertube]

I would love to hear more about your journey as an artist. I also love a good depth and roundness to objects in paintings, which make you feel like you could reach in and pluck something out. Your paintings do have that.

[@faroshscale]

This illustration is absolutely fantastic. The warm colors, the character design, the details...so beautiful!

[@SeaMonkey137]

I think your underdrawing is fantastic. No concerns at all with your "draftmanship" IMO. I was an editorial cartoonist for 11 years so I struggle with color. Would love to see a video where you demonstrate mixing the gouache colors you use.

[@nicolle2126]

The rendering on the sunflowers are so good! Also I really admire the restraint in not overworking the bread shelf in the background, it really does make everything pop and not get muddy

[@marnisenicoleart]

Welcome to RUclips! I love the chatty style . I also listen along while I paint or am cleaning brushes or what have you. Its nice to hear other artist thought processes and habits. I'm patiely awaiting for my first gouche set to arrive so I can try this medium. I really like your illustration style.

[@ChrisHongArt]

gouache is very tricky and frustrating at first to get the hang of so don't give up on it until you've painted at least 10 things with it! lol it's all about getting that water to paint ratio just right (some ppl say like melted ice cream??) XD thanks for stopping by! :D

[@erldraws1542]

It feels like I could watch this video for a whole day over and over again! Looking at it just feels so satisfying. It's like those game art you see in a game's loading page.. And if this illustration was a game, I would absolutely buy it because of the graphics..

[@arlyon]

Fantastic piece of work. And your drawing/design/composition abilities and draughtmanship are top notch.

[@juliekraut7218]

Beautiful style and 3D effect.

[@greyareaRK1]

It works great - the pacing. Great painting. 12 hours is impressive to me. My patience tops out at barely more than 3 hours. Love the textures.

[@ptaylor4923]

Oh, and the product links are awesome. Really helps.

[@ayaya3182]

is it only me that's hearing sadness doing voiceover? overall great job chris~

[@ChrisHongArt]

I do sound quite low-energy XD;; I think it's because I'm struggling to think of the next word to say haha

[@VishalNamani]

Love the painting. I wish the camera angle was still. Maybe zoom in from time to time while painting details. It was a bit difficult to watch it from difficult angles

[@ChrisHongArt]

Hey! yeah I hear what you're saying, unfortunately at the moment I'm limited in terms of my filming equipment ( I record with my iPhone! and I have limitations with my tripod) and when I paint I like to hold my painting in hand and move it around haha it's often never sitting in place... I'll keep that in mind though ^^ thanks for the feedback!

[@benlin1526]

I love your imagination! I usually work on my own stuff while listening and watching.

[@mistip3824]

Love this painting

[@BobbySpiessVienna]

This is so damn nice - and beautiful done! I love all te details, like the tiny pet on her backpack...Thanx for sharing 👍

[@OwliSketches]

I am loving the retro 70's feel, so cute!🍄

[@michellevillasenor4712]

Thank you, I struggle with color combos and hearing you say the word "harmonious" made so much sense! Thanks! ⭐️👍🏼😊

[@ChrisHongArt]

glad to have helped in any way! ^^

[@octopuddle6933]

I'm in love with the fact that you showed your studies and your sketch!

[@x_insomniac_x]

The way your illustration looks just straight out like a 3D animated movie. Just blows my mind.
Mind giving us classes??

[@saraclough-coulter8478]

This is my favorite painting of yours since the octopus pouring tea for the girl.

[@pudgeallday1265]

every single day it crosses my mind how thankful iam for your videos.

[@mathildebouvier4313]

Your shading though!!

[@rubenruizfinearts6200]

You are amazing, your work is magical, I think you should make a book with them with a short history behind each one ❤️

[@skullsmitten]

I really love this illustration, and it was delightful to watch and hear about your thought process as you were painting!
One thing I liked was actually hearing how long it took to illustrate, and how fast you sped up the footage. Time always gets weird in speed paint videos, so it's nice to get that perspective.
My experience watching this was NOT negatively impacted by not seeing you paint EVERY detail, so I wouldn't feel bad about excluding some footage due to time constraints! 😄
Thank you so much for sharing!!! 💜

[@jackiehazlett7805]

Love it. Great color

[@goku21youtub]

mhhh amazing ! i can draw ob the same skill level but the way you approach color is new to me , it really brings all the colors together , i will not strictly copy this , but make my own little shop or barn and try to do the same things you did here , both digitally and with watercolors (dont have goache)

[@bandariskywalker]

i love this red head girl , she's so adorable and oh my god this paint is so incredibly beautiful , i was shock about how much time you spent painting it but it's worth it , everything in this paint i loveeeeee

[@ioana4pop]

I love love your painting, I wish I had it😍

[@Kityileung]

I LOVE your style!!!

[@jesters.workshop]

Awe I really wish you would leave in how you take the painting from a cartoon simple painting to a super rendered almost realistic painting. It’s gorgeous I love it.

[@FiMilton]

this... this is phenomenal 😍

[@TheAverageArtist]

Ah each second the painting just got better and better. New sub!

[@eiji3516]

Yay! Another video! ❤️ I got really excited to see the process of this piece! Thank you so much for sharing it Chris!! ❤️ I love how you make the little thumbnails of the colors and values, it is a pretty important step! Anyway, i wanted to ask, where do you get your ideas from? This is very creative! 💕

[@ChrisHongArt]

aw thank you so much! 😭💕 I try to do at least one colour and value thumbnail for a more finished illustration like this because they are so incredibly helpful, otherwise I'd be lost! I'm not sure where the idea came for this piece haha I think I just really wanted an excuse to draw cute little veggies and fruits and breads! XD

[@eiji3516]

You're welcome!! :,D 💖 And same!! xD I'm very lazy to do them, but it is better if i make them because it helps a lot!!
Hahaha, nice! It came out really cute and detailed! This is my favorite piece of yours so far! ❤️❤️(but i love everything you draw!!)

[@Resosphere]

I think the speed is perfect ! It was a very instructive and nice video to watch, thank you

[@spiroch2187]

im always drawing while watchingg your videos butt most of the time i cant stop just watching the video than😅 really like your style!!!

[@jasonboyd782]

Fantastic painting! I've been watching stuff learning about gouache. I love the richness and subtlety of the colors. Well done.

[@PositivelyVika]

yay! So glad you uploaded :D I feel like i learned stuff just by watching you paint ^_^ Looking forward to future videos!
PS. I also struggle with figuring out how I should edit the video in terms of speeding up. But i think you did really well :) Although, I'd still enjoy it if it was a flurry of hands haha

[@ChrisHongArt]

haha maybe it'd be so quick you wouldn't even see a hand at all XD thanks for watching!!

[@mariatrucco]

would you please show us a step by step Video about painting faces?? how to use watercolor making shadows etc....please!!!! Im mariatj77 from instagram. Thank you!!!!!

[@ChrisHongArt]

I plan to in the future! ^^

[@anannamehparazad5259]

I don't have any word :o Omg!You are amazing!!!!!

[@achyka3802]

an art book by you would be amazing

[@ArdenRachelArt]

It's so cute! I love how much depth you were able to capture in the scene

[@erinlitterick4649]

Just found your channel and I’m sobbing! It’s so beautiful!!!! This is my first video of yours that I’ve watched and I can’t wait to binge watch all your videos. I’m so in love with your style and content!!

[@erinlitterick4649]

Wow just realised your a new artist!! Congrats you’ve already gotten so far in so little time! Honestly by this video I thought you would of been doing this for years hahaha xxx

[@ChrisHongArt]

I'm only new on youtube! XD been drawing and painting for a longtime :) thanks so much Erin!!

[@user-sn1wz1te2s]

Это просто Волшебство!!!

[@emloughh5]

I want to adopt this sweet storybook style like you have it’s so cute. I do realism so I have trouble doing these cutsie looking characters. But seeing these time lapse paintings definitely helps!!

[@nehagogwekar5557]

Your awesome , super imaginative 😊👍✨

[@minhtunguyen41]

OMG!!! Your style is amazing! Please upload more and more videos so everyone can enjoy your artworks ^^

[@ChrisHongArt]

gonna try my best!! haha thanks for watching ^^

[@BebiKipli]

I hear the struggle with quality you want to reach, oh ain't we all have that. I'm sure with your skill you don't need to have that, you're an incredible illustrator. Love your work, wish i have that patience to paint for 12 hours! You inspire a lot of viewers already. Best best wishes, and please keep making new videos and also enjoy doing it.

[@ChrisHongArt]

thank you so much Diana! 😭💕

[@volpinisofia.1040]

Wooooooow 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍 i love u.... I Think you can Illustrate a children book... You are the best!

[@NadiWLJ]

Beautiful!!

[@liljournalmaker]

It looks realistic ❤‍🔥

[@CupcakeCottage]

Isn’t that cute!!! I no love the speed of the video and the relaxing music. Now I’m itching to paint.

[@newbolita]

yout paitings are amazing , beutifulls , i am in love of your jobs

[@msMonstarface01]

I love your colour schemes!! Also, the way you do shadows ans highlights!?? It's so good! Everything feels like its popping out!!

[@donleverette6835]

Absolutely beautiful work. I love your drawings. They have a great mood and are so fun to look at! Keep up the great work.

[@jennyannart]

I just watched your laundry day piece and commented I thought it would be great in a storybook and so would this one. They have a really wonderful endearing quality that's perfect for illustration in young children's books...just a thought 😍

[@marzenazabonska9111]

You're very talented!

[@emmasheppard2639]

I'm glad you carried on from your sketch, it's so beautiful and so enjoyable to watch. Your talent is way above many, but it seems you didnt feel this way on this piece. It beyond amazing xxx

[@pambrown9523]

This is a wonderful illustration! I am so happy to have found your Channel. Gouache fascinates me and I'm interested in learning so much more... Thank you for sharing your abilities and creativity. And your editing is fine, I can't imagine trying to condense 12 hours into 10/11 minutes. AMAZING work all around. 💕🖌️🎨😃

[@HarmonyHardin]

Absolutely incredible! I am speechless!

[@Yorky222]

A super illustration.

[@Madidog123]

Love this! I love seeing how you use sepia tone as the main bulk of shadows. Neat idea! I also like this speed because I can see your process, and your art is great from beginning to end, so I dont mind sitting through a slightly longer video.

[@ChrisHongArt]

thanks for your feedback Madi! ^^

[@jendesign5537]

Excellent work!

[@DMichigan]

Thank you for your videos. I love this painting and this technique a lot. I do landscape painting, and sometimes I use gouache like you did here, that is, I dilute the gouache to almost transparent but build the painting up layer by layer. If you do gouache again in this thin-layer fashion, please record it for us as I find it so interesting.

[@Carl-en9cj]

I'm really into dolls, and I saw the thumbnail for this video and thought to myself "I HAVE TO SEE THIS LITTLE DOLL!!!!???" and it turned out to be a painting! A beautiful one at that! So, I'm subscribing.

[@ChrisHongArt]

woohoo! thanks Carly! :D

[@limabean29]

I found you through a YT recommendation, and I'm so glad I clicked on the video. I really love this - so beautiful. It's awesome to watch it being created. I'm excited to see more.

[@ChrisHongArt]

so happy the youtube algorithm worked in your favour! 😝 thank you so much

[@georgiapeach8236]

This is such a great illustration! I completely get what you were saying about only listening to videos. I do that a lot when I do artwork and it can be so tricky if the video is more of a tutorial. I can't wait to see the rest of your videos

[@jerryaubill5719]

Love the video...awesome painting

[@megbreiter6314]

So cute! Thanks

[@mamaeluciene]

Lovely.

I hope other videos in this gouache style happen to be recurrent here.

[@gabbywilliamson76]

Beautiful

[@Ragueneau]

Really inspiring ! good job and thank you :)

[@ChrisHongArt]

thank YOU for watching! ^^

[@BrookeBradshawsChoices]

OMG. You are incredible. Love the sketch and your choice of colors. You really brought your creation to life. Terrific job of editing. I did slow it down a few times to watch certain processes. I'm subscribing and look forward to catching up and following you.

[@cherylmcgrath9081]

So Beautiful

[@LysNoldor]

This was so satisfying to watch. You are truly an artist 🖤.

[@meenakshisanghvi2692]

Love this video

[@JessRovi]

i used to do speed paintting, something that learn is that you dont have to show every section or every moment, just focus in the important part or at least at the more significative...
I Really like your paintting

[@KallerhultCreations]

It was really interesting listening to your painting process, I learnt a lot! When it comes to editing, I think you did a good job and good choices. When I first started out posting time lapses/speed drawings I wanted to showcase the entire process but now I edit them differently, shorter clips but not as sped up, different angles etc :)

[@ChrisHongArt]

Glad to hear that! >< I really do think you get more out of editing in that way vs. trying to condense it ALL into one video and speeding up to accommodate it ^^ thanks for watching and for the feedback! :D

[@aislingfoley6569]

Beautiful 😍

[@agalyaagalya155]

Wow!

[@kayshay777]

loooove it

[@JusaKiki]

beautiful

[@liljournalmaker]

Soo good💗💗

Amazing composition and excelent execution. Thank you.

[@IndigoPlans]

I just love your style, can’t get enough of it! Greetings from Montreal

[@karmasarts3127]

This is really such a great composition! I love your work and the details you put into it
