Скачать или смотреть Forest Steps | Watercolor w/ Commentary

Unedited footage from 2018 on my drive that I told myself I'd finally get to one day, and that happened to be today :V This painting was part of my high school portfolio, and it's based off a really nice picture I took in a trail in Hakone, Japan.

Throughout the years I got a few comments on my other painting videos asking for voiceover commentary. To be honest, I never seriously considered it because 1) I feel like I don't have anything interesting to say 2) I detail all my materials in the comments or description anyway 3) I was self-conscious about my voice. After giving it some thought I see the educational and entertainment value in voiceovers (especially because my favorite artists do them and I enjoy it regardless of if the spoken content is "useful" or not)- oh and I don't hate my voice anymore LOL.

So this video is my first shot at that with some sub-par footage of an old painting. I stop talking at 5:11 so you can skip to there if that's not your thing.

The commentary is quite dry considering I recorded it 3 years after the painting was finished so most of it is stuff I've talked about before- I don't remember many fun details about actually painting it.

If I record any paintings in the future I'll plan with voiceovers in mind to make something more engaging!
