Doodle: Aug 18, 2011 | A good friend David Molanphy, asked me to record my drawing process for my doodles. I have finally found a use for the video camera in my iPad2. I set it up and began to draw. I hope you enjoy it.

Hey everyone! Well, I finally took the plunge and created my first video. All of you Youtubers & Vimeors out there I give you props cause its definitely a process with editing, formating & uploading those videos. I had a hard time deciding on what I wanted to paint for […]

Here's the first time-lapse painting video I've ever made. I'd wanted to make one for a long time, before I finally did it. The final push at the time, was that my pet portrait days were numbered, and I wanted to do a video of a pet portrait creation before I stopped doing them.
If you have never seen this video, I really hope you'll give it a watch. I really love the finished portrait, AND, the process of making the video was exciting. (It was educational, too - editing is hard work!)
I am interested in gaining page views of this video because down the road, I think it would be cool to get enough views of all my painting videos to try to get a company sponsorship to make more. My fantasy is that my favorite paint company would sponsor me... Wouldn't that be great?? But, I can only pitch the idea if I have a LOT of page views and people who join my You Tube Channel. Can you help?
If you like the video, please rate it and leave a comment if you feel like it. And if you REALLY like it, please send the link to your friends so they can watch it, too... Thanks a lot!!
0 Comments on My 10-Minute Pet Portrait Needs YOU as of 1/1/1900
Here is a short video blog I put together for you. There was lots of Cintiq chat on Twitter the other day, and it inspired me to show you mine and explain a little of my process with it.
I want to clarify a couple of things I talk about. Double-sized files I just started working on 2X larger files, it is not a regular something I do all the time. It is kind of an experiment and so far it seems to be working well. Personally, I am thinking "fabric" right now, so for an illo that needs to be especially crisp and sharp as it is printed on fabric, I think it's a good way to go or at least a good thing to try. But, as long as it looks GOOD at 100% (and you are sure of this, because you have done your print-check :) ), then 100% is perfect! In the case of illustrating in Adobe Flash in particular, I think working a little extra larger as needed (working for print output) is a not a bad thing because, although the line is vector, if you use the "Brush" tool exclusively like I do, the line generally has more "character" to it, more variation, than a precise line a la Illustrator. This can be a double-edged sword at times. The verdict is NOT totally in on working extra large yet... But it IS what I am doing right now. (It is ALL trial and error, isn't it?)
"If I am doing a poster, I do it at 100% and deliver it that way..." What I mean is, I will make my actual working file at actual size to print instead of twice as big. I will not make it, say, 48" x 48", if it is actually going to print at 24" x 24". I will instead work at the actual to-print size, 24" x 24". The reasons for this are two-fold. 1) I find that inking for print in Flash larger is a little more forgiving with any line variations than smaller, more detailed work like say, a 5.5" x 8.5" oversized postcard-sized piece of artwork. 2) The file size would be impossible to work in if it was 48" x 48". I think my processor would be smoking.
Anyway, Hope you like the vlog. If you have any questions at all, please post in

I have recently been introduced to Twitter by one of my grandchildren and I must say I am truly enjoying it. Gives me freedom to stay in touch with all my extended family. Gilly
I enjoyed your video and echo the concerns about digital artwork looking like you WANT it to look. I often work at 200 percent but check the finishes by printing a sample before I turn in the work. It is amazing what shows up that you didn't want to place in your image (sometimes.) My thoughts about Cintq were muddled with thoughts about a new intuos 4 tablet. Because I already have a 27 inch computer screen and am comfy with the tablet I ordered a new intuos 4 and pen. I think when I earn enough from my next book I'll still spring for the Cintiq, but for 1/4 the cost I can be happy with my tablet ... for now...
I hope you will share more of your adventures with your cintiq~
*drooling some more* :-) Thanks Kathy for answering alot of questions regarding the cintiq. I'm convinced even more that if I am going to get it the 21" is the way to go; really beneficial to see in "real" size. Hopefully I will get one later this year. I'm so close in splurging!
Watch my HD time-lapse video of painting the below portrait of Calpe & Capri! (Please make sure to click on the little "HD" button to watch it in HD)
Here is my first-ever time-lapse video. This was a lot of fun to make and something I've wanted to do for a long time. Editing video is not easy. It took a lot of time and energy but it was worth the efforts -- I'm really happy with how it came out. I'm glad I was able to accomplish this and I hope you enjoy it! It's ten minutes long so there may be some download time. I suggest you let it download in the background for awhile while you go on about your other business and then come back to watch it once it's complete. That way you won't waste your time waiting to watch it, and hopefully not encunter the "jaggies".
Hi Kathy, I don't know why but it's not working for me. Whenever i click on any of the two play triangles, I get a close up image of the portrait but no video. I just can't seem to make it play. Haha, maybe it's me. It's weird.
Oh shoot! I'll look into it. Sorry for the troubs, guys!! If you go straight to my Yu Tube channel it might by pass the issue (but I'm still looking into it!) Thanks for alerting me. kathy
You paint fast girl! lol, just kidding. I kept feeling you were going to mess up things with your sleeve because it looks like is not dry yet..haha, then I had to remind myself the video is going fast.
It worked for me and looks great. Do you need heat in your studio? Your little knit hat was too cute popping up here and there. Stay warm... and keep painting.
Here's my very first HD video. It's a short video featuring a few of my pet portraits. I just got a Flip Ultra HD video camera, so I figured I'd better learn how to save and upload an HD video. This video was made with artwork stills, not my new camera. Regardless, it gave me a good test run. I even learned a couple new tips, just doing this short video.

can not see it ...says I must accept your friend request? I will make sure I am hooked up with you over at you tube. By the way...vimeo is a great place to host high def videos. I am using it more and more for my embed tool. At the end of the video your viewer will not have choices to see someone elses dog art videos or dogs riding bikes etc. If you click on the vimeo logo they go to your own profile channel. VimeodDraw backs include no profile page design customizing that I have found. They also do not want to see biz vids, although artists are given a lot of room to promote.
Rebecca, thnaks so much for the heads up. I had the video set to "private" erroneously. I've fixed it. I will definitely post to Vimeo!I'm going to go do that now. Thanks for the extra nudge.
Here's the final video featuring the painting I created for the Party Animals book! In this short video, I chat about the details I put in the piece and how those little things mean a lot. > Enter my Party Animals book giveaway

Monday (today) through Friday is Party Animals Week here on my blog! First up are the final two video demos of the painting I created especially for the Party Animals book project. This one focuses on how to get colors to harmonize well together in a small composition. I offer a tip and a trick or two to help you to wiggle your favorite colors into a painting even if the colors might not seem to "go together" at first. Hope you enjoy!
Part 7 is up on You Tube. I discuss a little about watercolor painting in general, then I talk about the inspiration behind one of the dogs I'm painting in the picture. Hope you enjoy.

Part four of my first video demo is up now, here and on You Tube (where you can also catch video demos parts 1, 2 and 3). I'm getting a little better at putting these videos together (hey, we have a title! Whoopee!) It's also shorter, about 5 minutes long. (I like shorter videos... they are easier to digest.)
In this video, I paint a little Beagle's head. I do a lot of talking about the painting and my process. Of course I hope that this makes up for the lower video quality, but I know better than that. Ha ;). So I will let you know that I am looking into higher-quality video for future video demos! I really want to show you some more DETAIL in the work, than the quality of my Flip video camera can do. So keep that in mind. Have faith! I'm improving!
Dog Painting Demo Part 5 is also complete but not live yet! I will be posting it soon! Demo 5 is all about using the white of the page as a tool to help create texture and light in the painting. So please stay tuned!!

Thanks Kathy! You are getting better at the video and the progress is fascinating. You are so good with that teensy brush and have an enormous amount of patience!
Thanks Ginger!! I appreciate your support and encouragement a lot. I'm so glad I've made some mini-steps in the learning about video. I think, in the future, I'll look back on the first few and chuckle, but I know that I have to start somewhere! There is no waiting for perfection, I am learning on the fly. I'll get stronger as I go! :)
Here's the third installment in the series of my first-ever dog painting video demo. This has been SO much fun to do, I just LOVE showing you how I do my work and sharing tips, tricks and little stories along the way. I've been wanting to do this for so long but I think a sense of perfectionism kept me from going for it. I don't know much about video-editing, I don't know any special editing tricks, and I don't have a tripod. But I've learned, like with many other things, how important it is to be resourceful and of course have a little guts, too. I'll learn. You just gotta start somewhere, you know? We don't all master things overnight. So, one step at a time is my M.O. with this.
I think they will get more and more entertaining to watch as the painting gets more completed, too. I'm surprised at how much fun I'm finding it to watch the painting in process. I hope it's fun for you too!

I just joined the party and I'm so glad I did. These are great, Kathy! It's a lot of fun to see you working and I'm learning a lot about your technique. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your painting video demos! :-)
Here is Part Two of my first dog painting video demo! I am new at this and these videos are not perfect by a long shot. I know -- but I will get better with time, and I am hoping that my enthusiasm and interest in sharing my process with you (plus the occasional painting tip you might glean from it ;) ) will keep you interested and watching! :)
You may be wondering. "What this painting is for, who is the client?" I promise to reveal this in a later video demo farther along in the painting. It will be fun to find out -- it is pretty exciting! So I hope you continue watching and listening to this work in progress!
