Hello friends! It’s been a rough few weeks. This week I’m sharing the process on this digital painting I did recently. I liked her and she seemed to capture my mood. I hope you enjoy!
Stay safe, mask up, and VOTE! Happy creating! -Ash

Hello friends!
This week I’m sharing a pet portrait commission that I did recently. The music is all lofi hip hop so sit back and enjoy or mute and play your own jams.
I love painting animals and especially other people’s fur babies. The joy and love one of my paintings can bring gives me life. Seriously. Commissions are currently open. View more on my website (www.ashtonkaleigh.com), Instagram (@ashton_kaleigh), or Facebook (@ashtonkaleigh).
Peace, love, and happy painting!

Hello friends!
Today we’re looking at the Arteza Expert Color Pencil set of 48. I kind of compare them a lot to Prismacolor Premier color pencils because those are popular and that is the brand I’m most familiar with. This video is in no way sponsored and my opinions are honest and are my own.
**CORRECTION** At about 3:05 I say that the Arteza set costs $20 USD but that is on sale. You can find these anywhere from about $15 up to $25. Still a great price!!
Please enjoy this portrait of my kitty, Shakti!
Peace, love, and happy creating!

Stay safe. Happy creating! ??
