I tried to paint fabric on a live model (DIFFICULT!)
this is fascinating, what a wonderful piece ☺☺
Oh man. I did a study with this limited pallet and I felt so powerful when it turned out well! It can really empower you as an artist, and remind you to take your time when mixing colors.
You need to learn the mark carder colour palette
it’s not a five colour palette as the white and black don’t count as colours. Only the yellow, red and blue. So a three colour palette.
Great video. I like to use a sperate paper between the drawing and the canvas. This way I can keep the drawing without the charcoal on the back of it. I am Looking forward to part 2.
wtf this is shit.
I like how you decided to handle this situation. It seems like people are seemingly always so identified with their personal tastes and ideas that any challenge to their thoughts is like an attack on their identity. It's the human problem that causes most of the crap in the world today. Anyone who can be an example of acceptance and open mindedness is very truly a positive force in our world.
I really loved this video it was relaxing to watch
Omg I started watching you when I was in high school! Got so busy with uni, but now I finally graduated! So good to watch you make art again 😊
Did you prime the wood panel or was it pre primed?
I love your videos I have been following you for 6 years now
Is that rotring? I thought rotring was only in black and silver, where did you get that color from?
Why don't you draw directly on the panel? Its what I've always been doing, is it wrong?
But why you have to transferred the sketch , when u can draw the sketch directly on the paper? Why so many steps?
great question - it’s because i can initially draw on a smaller scale when measuring out the proportions/composition (it’s easier to do on a smaller scale for me).
Would a projector help in this case? I feel like it would reduce the cost of buying so many materials to trace the images. I bought one used for 20$ at goodwill and I've been thinking of using it for my art projects when I do a digital painting 🙂
girl, your talent has no limits ^~^
aww thank you 🥹
Have you thought about buying a projector and using it to transfer your drawing instead of using the charcoal method? And thanks for sharing your work with us :D
Cool
The charcoal transfer method is crazy messy lol. Back when I was into tattooing, we used Graphite Transfer paper for sketches. So it works easy for transferring to Canvas as well. "Graphite Transfer paper" not Tattoo Stencil paper. You can also reuse the Graphite Transfer paper multiple times. THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!
i used to use graphite transfer paper for years but i found the lines weren’t dark enough to be visible after i laid down the tone and underpainting 😅 maybe i’ll try some charcoal transfer paper
@@HappyDArtist You are right the lines are very faint! They would basically disappear with a tone over them! 😭 I use acrylics and paint Alla Prima style so most of the time I just need a basic outline of what I'm painting. I've went from grid method to full on projector mode because of the size of my paintings. Grid method was a big time waster too. Have you tried projectors? I'm basically a projector junky now ... I can't go back😅
Beautiful start, can’t wait to see it finished
What a beautiful documented process!💞😻🔥I use charcoal paper, which goes even faster when transferring! ^^
ooh thanks for the tip, i’ll check out charcoal paper! do you find that it creates dark enough lines for laying down an underpainting or ebauche layer with oils?
do you have a brand you recommend? 🥰
No one ever talks about this, but it’s a lot of the process for me as well. I spend days doing prep work
It is so satisfying to watch you mixing and matching all of these beautiful colors and shades!
I prefer a limited palette as well. I typically stick with a modified Zorn palette, in order to use blues and greens more readily I add Pthalo Blue in. Sometimes It's a lot of fun to experiment with the extremely saturated color options for more surreal options though.
this is so good, such a satisfying process ☺☺
I also agree with you on the primary colour topic. I know that printers are often set up with the magenta etc colour palettes, and in photography you use this as well, but for painting I find that the traditional primary colours in my personal opinion works best 😊
These look like AI images
Omg this is gorgeous, will you make a print od this? I would love to buy it
Such a very kind , humble , intelligent and Masterful young woman.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND U
I love ur art style so much. I could look at a painting and immediately tell that it’s yours.
It si SO beautiful!simply magical,Happy!❤😍
This is amazing! Congratulations 🙌🏻
I absolutely love it! amazing work!
This is the most simplest & easiest SquareSpace tutorial I've ever seen for artists. Thank you!
LOVE this painting. I’ve never bought an artist print, but for the first time I’m considering it. Wow! Since you print your own, would you be willing to share which printer you use?
Hi, Happy💜 I grow fond of your videos, you always educate and giving incredible useful tips and now I observed how you use round brushes. Can you on another video, place a picture of a brush/es you using just to witness and learn to identify. I appreciate your beautiful and kind spirit for this. All the best with this piece to whoever is going to own and embrace it.
So beautifull, love the flower❤
What does “adopted” mean in this context, has the painting been sold?
Yes
Just found your channel 🤩 Your paintings are amazing!
Woooow
This is beautiful 🤩 💚💙💜🦋😍
beautiful artwork 💜
Love you Happy! ❤ love your videos always!
Beautiful! I`m amazed at how simple it looked in the sketch, but you made it so interesting through your painting style are brush stokes.
Beautiful honey colored study I L❤ve it 😍
Stunning art! Beautiful everything!❣
Ah, the old ADHD strategy. Glad it works better for you than it ever did for me.
