Channel Title: Ruth Speer Channel Description: There’s magic everywhere m8 https://www.ruthspeer.com/ <video> painting alice through the looking glass but make it bosch Description: (pls excuse the mere 1080p my poor aged computer was WHEEZING when I tried to export this in 4k) Hi good ppl!! this was the whole process for my piece 'Curiouser,' a Through the Looking Glass & What Alice Found There painting. It took me about an exact month to do the actual physical work, though the idea had been percolating for months. (Edit: Prints now sold out :')) Notes on the print release: As the last print release sold out all 200 prints in 6 mins (!!! which was cool but sad for a lot of people) this one will be a timed release, meaning both signed 12x16" and the full 18x24" sizes will be up for 72 hours without selling out, so purchases can be made without scrambling during that time window. There will ALSO however be a smaller limited run of hand-embellished 18x24 prints (just because I only have time for a certain number - the hand embellishing with gold ink takes me a long time) and those are capped at 100. Ok that's all :) All righty now that information is written down, thank you for being here or perusing my work on instagram or if tiktok brought you - I feel very very lucky and rich that this is my job and it is truly thanks to you ❣❣❣ timestamps: 0:00:00 intro & disclaimer 0:01:00 incoherent ramblings pertaining to the pre-painting work 0:02:14 composition sketches & the final drawn idea 0:05:40 taking reference photos 0:06:20 cobbling together the Frankenreference on Procreate 0:07:18 prepping the surface 0:09:06 npc quest to geppetto's 0:10:06 sketching chess pieces 0:12:49 the underdrawing, toning the panel, and talking to christine 0:16:00 planning the chess characters 0:17:02 color palette 0:18:01 painting 1:00:47 varnishing 1:01:34 the finished piece 1:02:13 the end christine: instagram.com/christinejoypaintings Music ♣ L'immensité du firmament (Benedetto Marcello) by Les Petits Chanteurs de Montigny freemusicarchive.org/music/Les_Petits_Chanteurs_de_Montigny/Compilation_classique/15_-_Limmensite_du_firmament_Benedetto_Marcello ♣ Boleras Sevillanas (spanish folksong arr. for 2 guitars) played by F.Hiemenz soundcloud.com/fhgitarre/boleras-sevillanas ♣ Ein Männlein steht im Walde (from Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel) sung by Edita Gruberova youtube.com/watch?v=Io3bOdqwrdI&ab_channel=Hupjeflupje ♣ Aria by Kimiko Ishizaka freemusicarchive.org/music/Kimiko_Ishizaka/The_Open_Goldberg_Variations/KIMIKO_ISHIZAKA_-_Goldberg_Variations_BWV_988_-_01_-_Aria__44k-24b ♣ Winter, Mvmt II: Largo by John Harrison, violin, with Robert Turizziani conducting the Wichita State University Chamber Players freemusicarchive.org/music/John_Harrison_with_the_Wichita_State_University_Chamber_Players/The_Four_Seasons_Vivaldi ♣ Etude in A majeur (op.60 Nr.3) (Carcassi) played by F.Hiemenz soundcloud.com/fhgitarre/carcassi-study-in-a-majeur ♣ De sal de linguagem feita by Lovira freemusicarchive.org/music/Lovira/Experiments/04_-_Lovira_-_De_sal_de_linguagem_feita ♣ Birthday Present by Lovira freemusicarchive.org/music/Lovira/Experiments/02_-_Lovira_-_Experiments_-_Birthday_present_CC-BY-SA ♣ Bach - Book I: Prelude and Fugue No. 8 in E Flat Minor, BWV 853, Prelude by Carlos Gardels freemusicarchive.org/music/Carlos_Gardels/Bachs_Book_I_Prelude_and_Fugue_No_8_in_E_Flat_Minor/Bach_-_Book_I_Prelude_and_Fugue_No_8_in_E_Flat_Minor_BWV_853_Prelude ♣ "Tarleton's Resurrection" by John Dowland (soundvers.12.2014) played by F.Hiemenz soundcloud.com/fhgitarre/tarletons-resurrection ♣ "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" by Francisco Tárrega played by F.Hiemenz soundcloud.com/fhgitarre/recuerdos-de-la-alhambra ♣ Maio Maduro Maio by Lovira freemusicarchive.org/music/Lovira/Experiments/03_-_Lovira_-_Maio_Maduro_Maio ♣ Sonata in G Minor, "Didone Abbandonata" op.50 no.3 - II.

We set up a tripod in my art studio and filmed two and a half minutes of the space one evening, adding a little extra magic in post production ♥ This is where I spend a lot of my time and where I've been making things for the past few months. This video is meant to be a moment of meditation, just 2:30 to be quiet and still. I love this room because it's both functional and beautiful to me, both aspects being vital to my process, like a super specialized machine extension of my body that helps and enables me to get the work done. The title comes from the idea of this just being another monday in the office.

Here is the process behind my painting "A Heart's a Heavy Burden," completed this summer in both London and Oregon :') inspired by both the 1986 book by Diana Wynne Jones, and the 2004 animated film by Hayao Miyazaki. There are so many things I could say about this painting. It's about romance and friendship, and holding each other up; and long journeys, and venturing out into the world, and embracing the wild and unsightly parts of ourselves. The models are my friends Apple Sershi and Harry Kirton - huge thanks to them both for posing for me :) There are a lot of symbols and easter eggs from both the book and the film here, from the bottles marked Skin, Hair and Eyes to the skull and turnip, and the tiny house in the meadow just below Howl's leg. Because Howl is from Wales in the book, the border containing many of these symbols takes inspiration from Welsh illuminated manuscripts, and I used my own photos of Welsh landscapes (where I spent some time this summer) for the background references. The composition as a whole is a continuation of my personal work investigating animal-human creatures and the importance of fantasy as a means of understanding ourselves. ❣ timestamps: 0:00:00 titles 0:00:42 incoherently rambling intro 0:04:10 part I, the planning stage: sketches and the book 0:06:34 the concept in procreate 0:06:57 going to photograph apple and harry for reference images!! 0:08:30 research trip to the national gallery 0:09:24 side quest to collect the panel 0:10:06 the frankenstein'ed reference image & prelim drawings 0:11:00 part II, the painting process 0:11:23 the colored pencil drawing 0:12:18 the acrylic wash underpainting 0:14:23 research trip to the tate britain 0:15:21 on our way to the countryside 0:16:15 the oil painting bit 0:28:50 research trip to the british library 0:29:17 moving the operation to oregon for completion 0:30:02 painting at christine's studio!! 0:39:21 the border process 0:42:54 varnishing & explanation of symbols 0:46:28 the final painting & details ❣ apple: https://www.youtube.com/@UCb8Fo-V8LdWK_dC-89s-3Iw https://www.instagram.com/applesershi ❣ harry: https://www.instagram.com/_porvata_ ❣ christine: https://www.instagram.com/christinejoypaintings/ https://www.christinejoypaintings.me/ ❣ music: Tra Bo Dau (Two Fond Hearts) unaccompanied in Welsh, performed by Esme Lewis https://archive.org/details/78_welsh-folk-songs_esme-lewis-llew-tegid-lloyd-williams_gbia0484332b Meadow Waltz by Keys of Moon https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon Davydd Y Garreg Wen (David Of The White Rock) performed by David Ffrangcon Thomas & Osian Ellis https://archive.org/details/lp_welsh-folk-music-for-voice-harp-and-cel_david-ffrangcon-thomas-osian-ellis Etude in A majeur (op.60 Nr.3) by Matteo Carcassi performed by F.Hiemenz https://soundcloud.com/fhgitarre/carcassi-study-in-a-majeur Concerto Grosso Op. 6 No. 4 by Corelli, performed by the Advent Chamber Orchestra Ballad for Piano and Orchestra Op. 19 by Gabriel Fauré, performed by The New York Philharmonic Orchestra https://archive.org/details/lp_concerto-no-4-for-piano-and-orchestra-bal_robert-casadesus-camille-saint-sans-gabrie/disc1/02.01.+Ballad+For+Piano+And+Orchestra%2C+Op.+19.mp3 The Marriage of Figaro, Act II Scene I: Cavatina 4 Welsh Tunes: Myfanwy, Ar hyd y nos, Llwyn Onn, Rhyfelgyrch Gwy Harlech https://archive.org/details/4WelshFolkTunes Carnival of the Animals: Aquarium and The Swan by Camille Saint-Saëns </video>
