Hey, there! Thanks so much for dropping by!

Today I'll be sharing a time-lapse video demonstrating the usual process I go through when painting more of an editorial-style illustration with no background. This painting was created as part of the August calendar design I'm about to send out to my wonderful newsletter subscribers!

Though this video isn't a tutorial, I'm very excited to be sharing some news that you may be interested in if you're a beginner/intermediate artist looking to improve your skills, find your artistic voice and gain the confidence you need to start putting your work out there!

If you enjoyed this video and found it helpful, make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. I share a brand new video every week with art tips, drawing and painting tutorials and mindset/productivity tips for artists. *Subscribe HERE*

Below are the exact supplies I used to create this piece. All of these offer great quality and accessible prices.

Hi Sam,

Thanks so much! I love painting food, for some strange reason! Especially indulgent foods that I don't usually allow myself to eat. haha
I haven't actually had pancakes in a very long time and was totally craving them throughout this process. :)
