I love everything you do and everything you say Jess. You are such a gift to the world. Thank you for being you. ❣️❣️

I'm planning on joining patreon in December. If I want to join the one for $15. Can I change it in the future?

Absolutely beautiful message ❤

This video moved me to tears. Happy belated birthday! This is such a stunning piece of art. Congratulations... Your videos just keep getting better and better 🎉

hmmm..I mostly think about pizza when I am drawing, not much self reflection. Clearly I am doing it wrong...lol. Self portrait is on my list for the upcoming month. I waited 54 years to do one so I guess the time is now. Terrific portrait and thanks for sharing.

Exquisite. You have such a great talent. You are also such a special person. Your videos are an artform in themselves, very peaceful, and relaxing. Thank you, and Happy Birthday ❤

Hello.great drawing and tutorial.

Thank you! The video with all the emotional insights is amazing and so is the portrait ,which I love! ❤💜❤ Maybe it has given me the courage to try myself

Thank you for sharing this.

Always the best music to accompany your thoughtful inspirational videos. Your talent is amazing. I would love to learn to sketch like you do. MAN, I do not know how you do it.

I was wondering how was it. Adding water to watercolor pencil drawing. & how was the watercolor pencil vs watercolor paint

Beautiful... the portrait and your thoughts. Thank you!!! You give me inspiration! ❤😊

🌹hi thnxx

All answers are in the darkness of meditation.

I say to you as I say to all, Watch.

This really inspired me. I've wanted to do a self portrait for a while but i put it off for the entirety of last year. I really resonated with what you said about fear. I've postponed it because i thought i am good enough and I'm always so self-critical. But i think self portraits are always so beautiful. Thanks to this video, i think i'm going to do one today. Thank you!

You're so...🥺 beautiful😊! I'm thankful ❤

hello

That’s awesome!

Hello, this video was so beautifully done I literally almost cried , and mostly your artwork is just amazing. Im pushing myself in my portrait drawing journey and enjoyed this alot as inspiration and motivation to do more self portraits.

I love you too!

I saved watching this ever since its release because I knew it was going to heal me.
And it did.
Thank you for sharing your self, love, thoughts, heartaches, and life with us, Ms. Jess 🥺.
This and you really healed me when I needed it most. Thank you and I love you so deeply fondly too tot t-t 🤍🩹.

Loved it ❤

Absolutely beautiful, love hearing your thoughts around the process of creating self portraits!

love you Jess

❤

That's really beautiful. your all contents are really nice, It helped me to teach kids. thank you Jess. you are a great artist.

You speak…to my soul ❤️ lots of endless love to the one & only Jess Karp

Love it...such a fierce & bold colour choice too, which feels very fitting when you talk about being bold, taking risks and reach for that place the other side of your fears.❤

For some reason, I almost cried. So beautiful 🥹

I want to try a self portrait, now. I always had this idea that i was not "worth" drawing or painting and i mainly painted others and wildlife. I think it could be a good project for me 🥰

wow...not only beautiful but most important... thank you for sharing what you were feeling... happy and love, for being you. thats what i see anyway... fab portrait of yourself in that moment

I have started watching these videos as a way to teach myself to soften, to see beauty in everything, and to truly love again. They have been so helpful and I'm grateful.
