spring time artist vlog ❋ starting a large painting, prepping new products, sketching

you haven’t prompted water drinking in months so i died of thirst how could you

Every once in a while you add some nature scene that makes my heart explode. Most of my family is from Ohio and seeing them fishing in that little pond near that old shed at evening with the bare minimum of fishing supplies reminds me so much of my childhood. I could practically hear my dad giving me pointers.

I really admire how well you know yourself as an artist - like if you leave a painting you won’t finish it, you need diversity in materials for your sketchbook, you hate teal lol - it’s inspiring to think of a time in the future when I’ll be able to think/know/understand my practice that well 🫂

I really appreciated the birb-song nature break. Everyone needs some of that magic 🐦 ✨

my phone's living its best life on 96% while I'm surviving on 30%

can i just say that among other great artists, you Leigh, are also a great content creator. your videos are awesome. they tell a story, they have your unique chill vibe. many ppl try to make cool art vlogs, but fail to make interesting, colourful and eye-pleasing footage. i really like your videos. keep doing what ur doing. :) stay on brand-stay awesome :) <3

i’m feeling good today. it’s my second day in a row off work. first day is probably a 40% with a lot of time spent just recharging. It was only 61 outside yesterday and in the 40s by evening. had to put on a sweater and warm slippers. Today i’m feeling about 70%. It’s sunny and warm 67 already with a high of 77. I have plans to sit outside in the sunshine this afternoon and do some drawing. nothing special just playing with color while my dog Olive barks at the birds. my phone is at 78% and charging. Love your vlogs! i’ve just found you recently on youtube and really enjoy your art! it’s beautiful ❤️

I remembered to grab my bean infused water with cream and sugar (coffee, I'm drinking coffee)

re your dislike of the teal sketchbook: paint it! I add a layer of gesso and then either use Neocolor II or acrylic paint to paint my own covers and it makes them so fun and personal

Very relatable about the "finishing a piece or leave it forever" 😂 I have a closet of those pieces that I have never wanted to return to. Glad you pushed through.

As someone who is getting more into painting and have a hard time being abstract and loose, your vids are a huge help and inspiration!

You can put some wooden skewers in the big plant and twist tie/ string it to secure it. Makes the growth more manageable!

16:43 lol so relatable, the not consistency in the notebooks😂

99% because I just got a new kitten. His name is Kenma.😻 I rescued him from a bush. 😢

1:50 i have a similar plant and it's also huge. remember to gently move any creeping aerial roots to its pot of soil and don't let them touch the flooring! if it does, it can "stick" to the floor 😬 happened to me..

Phone is at 43% and I’m about a 40%, it’s going to be in the 100+ degrees in Texas today… can’t wait to see the big painting finished!!

I love your paintings! They are just like fresh air.

always love your studio vlogs leigh :)

my phone and i are both at 45% this morning. great video as always leigh

Your hair is super cute! Thank you for another video!
