This piece is a little different in format than usual but I felt like it fitted the piece well, so I hope you'll enjoy it!
I am focusing a little more on the darker aspect of my work in this one, and I want to play around with my aesthetic and video style and various focal points in the future, so if you like this, let me know!
^^
I loved this piece!!
Love your work, Myriam. It's thought-provoking and I admire the way you've filmed and edited this video too.
I love it!
@@trashrat263 Thank you so much!
@@ArtySubu Thank you Arati, that is super encouraging to read :)
I love this because you didnt change to stay in any art trends. You did what you liked. Never apologize for that
Thank you Jessica :) I have to stay true to what I love, or I would not be able to do what I do I think.
I can’t express how much I love this!! There is so much beauty in darkness, never let anyone try to tell you otherwise. This piece is such a beautiful balance of the darkness and the light!
I agree :) and thank you, I'm glad you like the piece!
@@myriamtillson I absolutely do! Thank you for sharing the process!
such depressed works ...
As Gillian Welch sings; "some girls are bright as the morning, and some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind". Love from one who lives on the dark side.
Thank you Blue, what a beautiful quote :) I think I am a little of both honestly, I am pretty bright as a person in real life, but I am definitely attracted to the darker things in life. I'm not sure life is quite a distinct a dichotomy as it is sometimes easy to think it is :)
@@myriamtillson I think those of us who contemplate the darker side are generally optimists (I know I am). Ironically we are also the ones who often deal with depression. Pessimists imagine only catastrophe and therefore are afraid to really confront the darkness. Optimists, on the other hand, explore the dark, study it, seek to understand it and then find ways to let in the light.
Pain can be bitter sweet..that’s what she is saying to me!Some art work we look at and think,yes that’s good and we walk away..this piece makes you want to return and look again,almost as if we want to share her pain!Wonderful painting,you are very talented and truly paint from within!Without the dark side there is no balance!!💕
your commentary on, i suppose, the nature of life really struck a chord and feels very in tune with how I myself view things and create; superficially at least, you know, can't glean a persons entire worldview in one go like that and all! Still, that terrible tragady of things so beautiful that cannot ever last and all that...
anyway, I really enjoyed the piece itself, the lace like sections having those would-be bone structures and the deep, dark hollows leading in. Makes me think I could get my fingers in under there and prod around beneath the face and maybe get a feel for what's going on through tactile exploration
Amazing editing! 🥰 I like the painting very much. What came to mind was this person is at the beginning of a friendship or relationship and wants to be more open and vulnerable. Since the face has no expression they don’t want to tell, but show more of themself, the deeper truths. As Nietzsche said, there are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.
I absolutely ❤❤❤ this. I'm not sure what this is about but it reminds me of how intricate and intertwined our thought patterns are and that regardless of who we are it reminds us of our individuality. The connectedness and of our own thought pattern is kind of like our DNA.
I used to love watching the nuthatches in my parent’s garden, but living in a city now it’s not something I get to enjoy, so that little segment was such an expected treat.
This piece reminds me of the fragility of life and the balance between death and life. The lace reminds me of my grandmother’s funeral, specifically, and I love how it bleeds into the face and how the healthy face becomes a skull
This is gorgeous. The fact that the cranium is like lace reminds me of a feeling I had a while ago. I had a really bad reaction the most recent time I smoked pot, and one of the symptoms was that it felt like a heavy cowl covered my eyes, and the rest of my head was a puff of cold smoke that was dissipating into the atmosphere.
This was so relaxing to watch! The best way to start my morning, before making myself some scrambled eggs and playing some Apex Legends.
Oh yum, have fun! Good morning!
@@myriamtillson Thank you! Good morning/afternoon/evening to you!
This painting is really stunning! The beautiful white,like a doily. Don't worry about your work being dark or unsettling, I really like that and have that aspect to my work too. I love all your style aspects! Really nice video
love the lace skull 😀 light imagery against what is usually a dark symbol, i like it
love the way you used various stencils and masking fluid to create the intricately beautiful lace effect😍
There's a lot of beauty in darkness. I enjoy darkness in my own art as well, i find that art conveys drak themes beautifully
My interpetation of the peace is something about the self being a beautifull, but fragile construction stretched over a physical, mortal body
Magnificent. Very inspiring.
I'm always in awe with your art, the way it just expresses so much without any words. It feels like I can delve in it.
I love how you combine light and darkness, you combine it in the most beautiful way.
absolutely stunning artwork, those details on the skull were mindboggling. The music choice was also very lovely and fits the piece, it gives a sort of melancholy and calm feeling.
I love this piece it really speaks to me I love that you left your sketch lines on the face. Very nice. X
Wow, both the art piece and the video were beautiful!
I enjoy watching your videos so very much, thank you. I love the marrying of the lacework design with human anatomy and dark under tones - beautiful
Such a beautiful work. Thanks, Myriam!
Beautiful! ❤️
Goddd , I missed ur videos. ur art is so beautiful :)✨
Wow, this makes me want to use masking fluid... I never do, and I don't really need to, but just for the satisfaction. 😌
Stunning artwork! Love to see you work. 🖤
This final piece was simply just stunning, I found it very comforting as well as slightly somber I’m not really sure how else to describe it but I’m ok
Delicate and beautiful.
It's funny how what you said about your art in the beginning of the video is very similar to how I see my own art. While many might see it as me trying to be shocking or edgy it is more about trying to reflect a feeling in a visceral way. Often using a body/figure as a "tool" to reflect that feeling. Because I think we relate to the world in many ways through our bodies with sensations, feelings and thoughts. It's all contained within. It seems easy for some people to see these images at face value as just body horror. So I can relate to how you might feel misunderstood in a way.
Something else I feel similarly to what you said is finding beauty in darkness aswell as having them coexist.
I love the delicate nature of this piece; when I first saw it, my initial thought was the delicate and fragile nature of "being okay." How we try to dress up our failings and mortality and anxiety and such in pretty lace, a very weak defense to protect the bones of who we are. Using a smile to cover up our true feelings. I feel like this piece could have many interpretations, but that one was the one that struck me the strongest. Either way, it was very thought provoking, which is one of the reasons that I admire your art so much. I do hope your struggle passes soon
I agree. Beautifully put.
What a brilliant technique! I want to try this now! Very inspirational 👑✨🎨
I think your art above all is a way 4 u to scape something. Unfortunatelly common paintings are further more famous than real art like yours. I'm a big admirer of all things you can show with your art and I feel like you' ve never been so confident about what you want for your life. I wish i had your courage.
Loved this approach very much and the depth of the expression in tis portrait is awesome also the method you used 👌
Wow...really amazing technique
Omg the detail is so A M A Z I N G ✨
Your are so sweet!
@@myriamtillson thx!!
I'm always fascinated and impressed by your work...and this piece is no exception....
this piece, invokes a feeling of "Delicate, fragility".... and of deep conflicting emotions. And somehow, there's a feeling of "tranquility"... maybe "acceptance" of what is, even though "what is" isn't necessarily "pleasant".
PS, I enjoyed this video's style. =)
Beautifully shared💗 That quote hit home for me as well. I was not one that could sit at home for hours on end, alone, that is until this last year and a half hit. Being forced to do so however ended up being the best thing for me. It's been difficult, uncomfortable, and life changing.
Thankyou for choosing to share this with us all today✨
That was beautiful, thank you. Subbed
love the work! I dont think dark art should automatically be interpreted as a way to make a "negative" reaction in the viewer like shock. Someone expressing themselves might be happy and bright and others in a darker way. My art is related to horror/gloominess, but I actually feel a lot happier in it than when I tried to have a "happy" art style, it just tickles my brain better so thats why I do it that way. The most important thing is being authentic and thats why we love your art so much!
Gorgeous. Your style shines. A delicate balance of beauty and darkness. I've been subbed for years now and it was a sketchbook tour that I first saw. The voice your art brandishes is unique and magical!🤙
Thank you Charles, I really appreciate your kind words and it is really encouraging to have had your support for this long.
Hi ! I just wanted to share my impressions on how you edited your video. I thought it was a simple speed painting and honestly I don't like this type of videos. I prefer listening the artist talking. But I really love how you edited your vid. It has different view, it was really dynamic 👏 I loved it ! I would have loved it if it was a bit longer though 😂 Anyways wonderful work 💕
Beautiful ❤
So awesome!!!! Great video and epic piece Myriam! YEAH! Hope you are doing ok.
Love ur art ❤❤
I reallly liked the way that the video is syncronised with the musiccccc
Ah thank you so much! It took me ages, haha
Absolutely gorgeous Myriam! Love the music as well, you now life and every aspect of it is ever changing, so no worries about not sticking to your norm...i think change is the only constant...would check out the print. Take care
Beautiful painting, excellent video quite inspiring! I love the concept of beauty against the darker aspect of your work and how creatively you have portrayed this, the contrast works so well! I may have to treat myself to another print xx
this is so beautiful!!! im always so inspired by looking at all your art work…you are amazing!
I'm here faster than a Karen asking for a manager
The way I CACKLED at this comment! XD
😂😂😂omg hilarious
Wow.
what can i say? you are amazing.
🖤🖤🖤
I love it! Despite the uneasiness it gives me xD UwU ❤️
You should make peanut butter cakes for the birds. It is made out of fat, peanut butter and seeds. You can even just do peanut butter. That tiny bird struggle to eat the sunflower seeds
Hey Myriam, I was wondering if you could talk about fixing/sealing the work and if it is necessary, and what to do when mixing watercolor and guache?
Wow! Wow! This is soo cool! You are a great artist!
I had to stop everything to watch this
Breathe though
Hi Myriam! How do you sharpen your pencils? Love you artwork!
What is that pen and content that gets rubbery that was pealed off?
Hi~! It's really beautiful, it's one of my favorite I think . I bought a liquid mask too recently , I was really excited but tears up the paper, Everytime , do you have this problem too? Can I ask what kind of paper did you use here?
I do sometimes yes! I find that is depends on the brand a lot, so I have had to experiment a bunch with different liquids. The one in this video is the Winsor&Newton Colourless Fluid and it has worked really well for me so far. I just make sure that my paper is absolutely bone dry when I remove it. In this video, I used 300gsm Cold Press Saunders Waterford watercolour paper.
Hi Myriam your works are very inspiring! What paper tape do you use? because I've done a lot of disasters!
Thank you for the kind words! I don't use any particular type of tape, the one in this video is white board griding tape I believe, which I just bought on Ebay because it was thin. I would recommend heating your tape with a hairdryer while you remove it if you have any problems, it helps soften the glue and avoid ripping :)
Ps. I love the size of this sketchbook,is it handmade or a specific brand ?
It is a Saunders Waterford Watercolour sketchbook :)
@@myriamtillson thank you s much !
I have been enjoying a lot more soothing/relaxed art videos lately so I appreciated the format of this one with the music and less commentary. My only critique would be the part towards the beginning where you flashed different shots in different areas of the screen kind of messed with my eyes/head a bit. I see what you were trying to do there, but maybe try and leave them up for just a few seconds longer? It was hard to follow what was going on in that part.
Hi AJ, thanks for the feedback! I was trying to synch the clips with the music, and because they were filmed for tiktok they were not the right format for the screen so I had to distribute them on the screen, but I did wonder if it might be a little jarring. Thank you for letting me know, I'll try to adapt that to make it less abrupt in the next one :)
@@myriamtillson Of course! I also may personally be a bit sensitive to things like that, it may not have bothered anyone else. Otherwise, always love both your art and videography work!
