Trying out Gouache!

Hello everyone, it's Monday again! (: I've taken a bit of a break from making videos, but luckily I've had some ready to go! I'm back at it, though! All of my upcoming ones are vlog-ish videos, but they pertain to art in some way, I promise! And hopefully they'll be fun to watch (:

This week I'm trying out Gouache and you guys get to see me fail! :'D I'll admit, I was trying to be funny during the whole video but I think me just not even knowing what I'm doing is funny enough, haha. I could see myself using these mainly for abstract pieces, and maybe for some multi media pieces in small amounts. But I don't see myself using these specifically for a painting by themselves. Not until I experiment and play with them a little more I think.

Trying out GOUACHE

I'll need all the advice I can get with these, so if you have any please let me know! I have NO clue what I'm doing! (:

A Pokemon-Filled Week!

Hi everyone! I didn't forget about you this week! I just wanted to make one big blog post for this week since this week had a main theme!

On Monday I uploaded my second fan art for my channel! I mention in the video that fan art is really hard for me to do now, because I feel brainwashed from college that fan art isn't okay. I used to ONLY do fan art and now it's scary for me to even attempt to draw. Pokémon, though, always has a special place in my heart <3 So it felt weird but it was a good kind of weird. Very nostalgic!

And today I uploaded a fun and simple vlog of Mirella and I going out and finding Pokémon on the new mobile game: Pokémon GO! We had so much fun! This game is seriously awesome and it's improving everyday! This game has gotten so many people I know who don't like exercise outside, including myself! We tried so many new things and found so many new places so far, and the game has only been out for about a week! The vlog today was 3 days out of the first week of Pokémon GO being released, and we were having so much fun we forgot to vlog most of the days we were out. But if you guys enjoyed we can always have a mini series of Pokémon GO adventures! (:

VLOG | First Week of Pokémon GO with Mirella

Hopefully with this exciting last week with all the Pokémon hype you guys will enjoy this week's selection of videos from my channel! <3

Pokemon Fan Art - Ivysaur Family

In honor of Pokémon GO and all of the recent leaks for Sun and Moon I figured I'd bump this video up to the top of my video upload queue!!

SPEEDPAINT | Ivysaur Family - POKEMON Fan Art

I really love this type of Pokémon fan art. It's simple, the Pokémon are interacting with their surroundings, and everything sort of feels like the artworks you would find on the Pokémon Trading Cards. I LOVE fan art that looks like it could potentially be on a trading card. To me they're just more fun to look at, even if they're fairly simple. And fittingly, my first starter I caught on Pokémon GO was Bulbasaur!

I feel like I should have more to say but it's almost 1am and I have to be up somewhat early tomorrow so I'll leave you to watch and listen to the commentary on the video. Also, I may have an extra video for this Thursday *twirls nonexistent mustache*. See you next week! <3
