Hello Art-family!
This video is a gouache sketch of a gumball machine I saw at a museum in Pittsburgh, PA called Bicycle Heaven. This is sort of a continuation of the last video where we looked at reflective materials in gouache. If you enjoy this and would like to paint along with reference- the full length demo is available on my patreon.
Thank you so much for watching and happy sketching!

The kind folks at Arrtx sent me a box of their 126 colored pencils. My daughter and I spent a fun afternoon giving them a test run and had a great time. Hope you enjoy the video. I know most of my videos are specifically about painting but if you like this kind of video, let me know in the comments and I can try to do more with different kinds of media other than watercolor and gouache.
Thanks for watching- below are the links to the pencils if you'd like to try them for yourself.
Happy sketching!

I recently hand painted a series of covers for the comic series Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai. They recently announced a release date for the story "Usagi Yojimbo: Ice and Snow" and I thought it would be fun to do a live session where I paint one of the covers that Mr. Sakai didn't end up using.
Through the demo I will talk about working with Mr. Sakai, steps and processes, composition, color, mixing, atmosphere and drawing. Hope you'll tune in!
Hey! Paint along if you want to! I uploaded the linework for the unused cover on my patreon:
www.patreon.com/jaredlovestodraw
The line art is free but I will be using the patreon to give updates on my upcoming books I've written and am currently illustrating.
Bring your paintbox, put on a Kurosawa film to get in the mood and lets paint this awesome Samurai rabbit created by Stan Sakai.
Here's a little plein air painting done in Fort Worth, Texas recently. I appreciate you watching. There is a full length version of it with commentary on Patreon if you're interested.

This is a sped up version of a gouache demo I did for a class recently. I always love painting stuff around the kitchen because of the variety of surface materials to explore and study.
Thanks for watching!
UPDATE ON COLLAB:
The painting is supposed to arrive today. I'll post about it on instagram and on the community here to keep everyone in the loop. In the meantime, I've been working on my idea.

Just a headsup this is the last day to sign up for my Art toolkit watercolor class: arttoolkit.com/learn/prepare-for-plein-air-with-jared-cullum
$50
And the last weekend to sign up for my "watercolor from the ground up" class starting this Tuesday. Email me if interested or check out more info: www.jaredcullum.com/events
This video was shot by "sometimes island" on Kodiak Island in Alaska. I believe that is just a local phrase for it because sometimes you have access to it and sometimes you dont. While I painted the water from Women's bay crept closer by the minute and I had to deal with freezing temperature but I had a great time. My lovely hosts were having a snowball fight behind me and had a great day hanging out around the island.
This was this months Patreon demo if you'd like to see the full footage with voice over describing process.
Thanks for watching! I'll thow out a gouche video next week to break up all the ice and snow you've been seeing here. :)
If you're curious about the Biggest Art Challenge- It is still on it's way to me. I believe it may be stuck in customs but it is on the way and I have an idea in mind so it should take too long once I have it here. Thank you so much for your patience. Feel free to check in with me anytime on progress.

I'm teaching a class next week with my wonderful friends at Art-Toolkit, (April 15) on techniques for plein air painting. This is my demo I did for the class. Students get the full demo footage and during class we will break down each technique that I use during the painting on location into a practice-able exercise culminating in a finished painting of the demo done together in stages. All levels welcome!
Link to class here: arttoolkit.com/learn/prepare-for-plein-air-with-jared-cullum
It's the last couple days to sign up and I'd love to see you there!

Hello Art-family,
Throw on a warm blanket and get stuck in for a bit with me as we explore Kodiak Island, Alaska. This is just a compilation of the clips of my travel around town. SUPER special thank you to Bayli, Dan and Laurie for sharing this wonderful place with me. It was a life-changing and inspirational trip which I will never forget. I have lots of reference piled up for future books/work. lots of exciting stuff to share with everyone here but I can't talk about anything just yet...
Oh and I have some classes coming up. Watercolor basics and plein air painting with Art Toolkit. You can find more here or email me to ask questions:

Hello Art-family,
This video was shot at the Carnegie Natural History Museum. I always love to go there and sketch the dinos. This was with the local Pittsburgh urban Sketchers and instead of studying the anatomy as I usually do while there I decided to do a sketch of a whole environment. Thanks for watching!

I'm interested in doing more live painting stuff so I wanted to test out the new camera. I'm a one-man band so please be patient as a crawl through attempted to do something with technology of which I have a tenuous grasp.
