The INKspired Life - The Biltmore

Hey everybody, happy Monday, January 15th, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It's great to see everybody. I'm gonna be doing some sketching here for a few minutes and yeah, get ready for some snow to head our way. And I see that Angelique is watching on Instagram. Hey, good to see you. Hope everybody's doing well. Alright, there we go. So, uh, tonight I'm actually sketching some architecture inspired by Biltmore Estate, Nashville. North Carolina, and, um, it's going to be a nice change of pace. Just grab up. All right, good to go. Maybe we'll do a quick kind of perspective sketch here. Hope everybody's doing well where you are. Hope the weather is being kind to you. I know there's some wicked, wicked snowstorms out there. Across the US. Everybody's staying safe and warm and dry.

Um, yeah, that's my wish for everybody.

So this structure I'm sketching now is actually pretty cool. It's a— looking at a rooftop of a conservatory. At the Biltmore. If you haven't been there, it's an incredible building. I'd love to go back again. I was there briefly last, um, March— was it March? Uh, the architecture is just incredible for sure. And I'll show you in a minute, I've done some other sketches based on the Biltmore. So, I'm just kind of working on a series of these mixed media ink watercolor sketches. So, here's some past examples. So, these are not the actual colors you would find at the Biltmore. Just kind of a painting by feeling. Just love this color palette. There's another one here, just pop them down. So, I'm gonna use the same colors in the sketch we're doing now. Also have this one here and then I think this was the most recent one with this one on top. Hey, Linda H, great to see you. Hope you're doing well. So, I thought it would be fun just to continue this series. I've built more sketches. So, that's where we're headed right now. Linda H, I hope you're doing great. It's always fun to see you pop on. I just threw some color down on this. They're all so beautiful. Ah, thank you so much. I always appreciate, uh, your kind words. Thank you. All right, yeah, let's throw down some color. I'm gonna keep this really quick, loose. If I start thinking too much about this, it's going to interrupt my flow, and then my sketch is going to get really kind of stiff and I'm not trying to sketch all the details. I'll pop up a picture of this. You can see kind of what I'm just looking at here as a reference. Incredible amount of detail here on this building.

So I'll just drag it over.

Here's kind of the reference I'm looking at. You can kind of see it here. Really interesting. This is— you can see him up on, I think, that's the third floor, looking at the rooftop of the conservatory that's between these two wings of the building. That's kind of my inspo pic. All right, let's just break out some color. Me, I'm thinking too much. I don't want to think too much. Let's, um, yeah, let's just do it. So I'm going to dip into just a little bit of ink. I hope you guys can hear me okay. Awesome, thank you, Linda, for your feedback. I really appreciate it. All right, let's dip into some watercolor. Let's get some turquoise on this. And if, as you can see from my other Biltmore sketches, I'm using turquoise, um, kind of for the roof areas. This out of the way. I'm actually going to tilt I want to tilt this up a little bit. There we go. And I'm tilting it up just so the water kind of runs down the page. I am throwing on some, some turquoise right now. Cool. And I want to throw out some turquoise also on the conservatory, just to kind of— hair sticking out of the brush here. Let me pull that. There we go.

Yes.

I'm going to throw some just to indicate the idea of some metalwork on this roof. Alright, so we have some turquoise on here. Next color I'm going to throw down is I want to put some lemon yellow. That's going to add a pop of lemony zest. Wait, wait. Lemon zestfulness? Lemon zestfully? I don't even know how you'd say that. Lemon. We'll just say lemony zestfulness. All right. That's accurate. I don't know, but I just like the pop of yellow on, on here. I'm just grabbing some more of that yellow.

Awesome.

I like the way this is coming out. I like the colors. It's looking pretty cool. And I definitely want to throw down some purples. Just go in here. Um, let's just make, make our own. Actually, I have found a sample. Um, I forget what company is. I found a sample of this kind of iridescent purple color. It's like a metallic purple. So let's just play with that and throw it on here. Let the water do its magic and kind of lemon zestiest. That works, Linda, we'll take it. Lemon zestiest. Yeah, we'll take it. I have no idea how to say that. Um, we'll go with what you said. All right, so I'm just dipping into this kind of metallic purple color. I mean, maybe you can kind of see it here. Again, I don't remember the brand. It was a free sample in a tube, um, and I just happened to throw it on my palette. Let's see what it looks like. Definitely, definitely metallic-y. Might be a little too much for what I'm trying to do here, but that's what's fun about playing around with colors. You never know. Kind of dry with a little sparkle to it, so that would be fun. That'll be Kind of cool, right? All right. Awesome. And let's just make— we're going to mix up some purple as well. Let's take some— dip into some red here. It's mucho red-o. Dip into some blue here. Just mix up a kind of a nice purpley color. Let's check that out, see how it looks. Might be, might be a little too blue. It's a little bluish. I'm going to add some red in here. Let's see, this should be a little more purple.

There we go.

Awesome. And I think I'm just pull back. I want this a little bit in here. There we go, I'm liking it. This will definitely be a sketch where I come back after it dries and I'll add some details with my, um, either my Sharpie or my Pilot Precise pen. We'll come back, pull out some details for sure, some texture. So yeah, I just wanted to lay down some colors and kind of get the vibes going on it. Those are really the only colors I've been using, um, on these Biltmore sketches. For the most part, kind of see the similar color palettes. Gotta put this here so you can kind of see them here. Love the colors, thank you, two thumbs up, I appreciate the thumbs up, so that's awesome. So much. So we're— I think we're expecting, last time I looked, I think up to 4 inches by tomorrow afternoon. So not tons of snow. Right now it's enough snow to— they gave us a 2-hour delay, which is awesome. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if we actually end up with a snow day tomorrow because I'm starting finally to feel better after this really, I don't know what, sinus infection and whatever I've had the past 4 weeks. So I wouldn't mind another day of rest. Um, we'll see what happens.

I know I'm being selfish.

This is really drying nicely. Check this out. Yeah, zoom in. I'm really loving these colors right in here. This is funky music. I'll take it. It's pretty funky. I like it. So check out the colors right here.

Pretty fun.

That was a fun song to sketch to. Love the energy of that one. I'll take it. I'll take that any day. All right, it's looking pretty good, guys. I might have to set it aside and let it dry before I come back and add any more ink work on top of the kind of this background. Kind of like it. To the 4 where I am, sorry you don't feel well. Hope you have a whole day off. Hey, thank you so much. It's all good. Yeah, I appreciate that. It's all good. All right, let me zoom out and I'll show you— actually, let me zoom in. I lied. Let's just zoom in, check out some of the details, the colors. Um, appreciate everybody watching. I see some people out there on the Facebook. Thank you for watching on Facebook. We have Linda on YouTube. If anybody else is on YouTube, I appreciate you guys. Um, Instagram Live is going, but there's no one on there right now.

There we go.

We're just gonna pan around a little bit so you can see how this is drying. It's going to be a fun sketch painting to add to the Biltmore collection. I pan around a little bit. I'm really, really loving the colors. I don't know if you can see that purple, the kind of metallic purple I put down right up in here. I'm going to kind of move the paper around. Let me know if you can see it. It's actually drying it. I like the way it's drying with the metallic kind of finish. It sparkles, so that's fun. Again, we're just, just playing around. I like the way this is drying in here as well. Um, let's go to the side.

Be cool.

There it is. So I'm using, um, Fabriano 1264 cold press watercolor paper. It's in this kind of journal. I've just— uh, what I like about this journal, one of the things I like is the pages are really easy to tear out of here because they're perforated at the edge. So that's really, um, cool. Don't worry about tearing the paper. So that makes a big difference. You might— you may also know, here's a pro tip, or noticed rather, uh, I'm left-handed. Do you guys see, notice where I have the rings, the binder rings on the right-hand side? Typically they would be here. On the left. What would happen is if I'm sketching or painting, my palm hits these rings and it's really, really, really annoying, like super annoying. So I flip this around so the rings are on the right-hand side, so my palm is not hitting those. I could have torn the page off like this and painted with it off the binders, totally off the sketchbook, but I didn't do that because I like to sometimes pick up my sketching and the inks and watercolors while I'm working on it. That way I can kind of move it around if I want to. So, that's why I kept it on the sketchbook. That's just a little tip. It's really helped me out, and I just started doing it recently. I would hit the bumps over here and it would just make me go cuckoo. This will come together really nicely when I come back and add some of that detail on it. I'm not going to go too cray cray with it though. All right, let me know if you guys have any final questions or comments before I wrap up. It is 8:18. Again, this is, uh, inspired by the Biltmore House On the Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina. I would love to go back to here. I spent— I think I spent 3 hours here at the Biltmore. Not enough time. This place is huge. So I've only seen maybe a third of it. So I definitely want to go back, sketch it, take pictures. I don't know when. But it'd be cool to go back this year sometime. And I would love it. And I'd love to take my sketches and show the people there that actually work there. It would be so cool to be able to sell these at the— maybe at the gift shop or one of the gift shops at the Biltmore Estate. I don't know. I don't know if anybody would be interested in buying these, but I think they could be cool prints maybe that they could carry in their gift shop and sell. So I would love to do that, right? They're nice little pieces, turn them into some kind of print I could sign. That'd be so fun. So I want— I want this to dry so badly because I want to do some more sketching. So let me see. I'm not going to get the hair dryer out. Like, I had it out one time and I made a mess. Let me see if I could sketch on any of this, or is it too wet? It's a little too wet. So what I'm going to do is let's start a different sketch while this one's drying. So let me grab a small sheet of— I have Fabriano 1264 here, and, uh, 4x8. So I love this panoramic layout. So let's just do a quick sketch and we'll do another Biltmore-inspired sketch or inspired. Hey, Linda S is over there in Facebook land. How the heck are you? So great seeing you. All right, let's, um, do another Biltmore-inspired sketch. So we got Linda S on Facebook. I see you there, Linda H. I see you on YouTube. Anybody else, feel free to say hello as we continue away. We're gonna let this dry. So for you guys that are just joining us, um, this is inspired by the Biltmore House located on the Biltmore Estate property, and it's a view on, I think, the third floor looking out at a conservatory roof area between two wings of a building. I'm gonna put that over here and then we're gonna sketch. Good to see you and your beautiful sketches. Thank you so much. I'm— let's see, I'm gonna go through. I have, I think, how many pictures? About 200 pictures I took at the Biltmore. If you guys are interested, I could do a little Slideshow, we can look at some pictures. I'm just looking, scrolling through here quick to find something to sketch. You know, actually I found a really interesting view. I think this is in the library room at the Biltmore. I'm gonna pull it on screen. Check this out. Doesn't wanna save to my screen there. So I think I have to drag it onto this one. Cool. Check this out. This is— I believe this is the library inside the Biltmore House. It's a really funky angle. So when I'm taking pictures and going through buildings, I like to find these really weird angles. Just because I think they're fun to sketch, the shapes. And, uh, yeah, so maybe we'll do a real quick something of this. We'll see what happens. I have no idea. But I— so what's, uh— so again, this is Library at the Biltmore. There is actually an organ. If anybody's been here, feel free to correct me, um, but you can see an organ here. The backgrounds, really, really fascinating. All right, let's get this off screen. Let's do a quick sketch inspired by this. I'm actually going to change the music up a little bit. Um, yeah, we'll go with this. Alright, again, this is gonna be kind of a quick, but we'll see what happens. It's always great seeing you guys out there, so thank you for watching and commenting, just inspiring me to keep going. I appreciate it so much. So I've been working on putting together an architectural sketching membership kind of page, um, where A couple times a month we'd come together on this page and I would do some sketching instruction. We would do some show and tell like we used to do in my workshops, and I think it'd be a lot of fun just, just to try it. And there would be other kind of benefits for being in in the membership program as well, um, such things as like PDF examples and video access to video tutorials. Also, I really want to put together a library and a course on how I like to approach architectural sketching, and my style might not be for everybody, but it might be for some. So I think that'd be kind of fun I'm thinking way too much as I'm sketching this, so I'm literally blocking out— I'm blanking my mind right now and I'm just letting the pen move. This is a view that I would definitely do quite a few times. I love Gothic arches. Something I definitely need to keep working on. Back in here we kind of have that The pipes happening. Let me know, have any of you guys been to the Biltmore? How cool would it be to like arrange a trip, a get-together at the Biltmore, and just do like some sketching? For a couple days. For me, it's a plane ride away for sure, so it's not a day trip, maybe a long weekend trip. That would be so fun. All right, so you can kind of see, um, it's looking like something, something, something. Hey, Monica Scott joined! Monica, how the heck are you? Good to see see you. Linus said that would be awesome. This is my favorite music piece. Is it this one playing now? I love the music that's playing now. That would be awesome. Yeah, it would be. I have not been there yet. I was, like I said, I was just there briefly there last March for the first time. All right, let's just try to give a little sense of perspective in this vaulted ceiling. And I'm just gonna— I might just keep this one black and white. I don't think I'm gonna add color to this one. So that's that organ kind of happening there. We have an architectural column here. Let's see, it's not Ionic, it's not Doric. I think it's a Corinthian column based on the way the top looks. There you go, kind of a quick interior sketch. I'm going to leave it black and white for now. Yeah, I think that's cool. We'll put a little bit of shadowing, some hatching in here. Here we go. So that's just a quick sketch of, uh, part of that The interior of the library at the Biltmore. Pretty fun black and white. It actually reminds me of kind of my wall here. New York— one of the— I think the New York Public Library a little bit, just kind of the architecture here. And the Brooklyn Bridge, because the Brooklyn Bridge has Gothic arches on it also. Cool. All right, let's see how our original sketch is drying here. Can we add some lines? It's kind of dry-ish. Let's kind of add some ink details. Maybe I'll pull out a Lamy, or we don't use a Sharpie. Let's see. Reason I would not use the Lamy is if I'm gonna come back and add more color and water, I don't want the Lamy ink to bleed, make, um, like a muddy mess on here. So let's just sketch some details in with our Sharpie for now. See, I gotta see if I can find that photograph. Where are you, photograph? Here we go, I found it. Oh, it's either this one or another one. We'll go with this one. All right, so there's— there are a bunch of windows I didn't even sketch in yet. Sketching some— do some windows here. I'm just sketching right on top of the ink and watercolor. Hopefully you can see that okay. Got some windows kind of happening and then this is a chimney here. We're going to lightly sketch in this, the, um, I think this is a slate roof if I'm not mistaken. So I'm lightly going to kind of sketch some lines in like that. I'm actually gonna— let me stop the music for a second. I want you guys to hear this. Here, I want you guys to hear, hear this. Hopefully the mic will pick it up. Um, I want you to hear how the pen The Sharpie's picking up the texture of the paper. [Speaker:STAN] So, hopefully you guys can hear that and the reason I want you to hear is if I go closer, I'm really just lightly dragging the marker across the paper. I'm letting the texture come through so we kind of have these Morse code types of lines that are kind of dashes and dots. It's not a solid continuous line, and I just like the way the paper becomes another tool in this, you know, in our sketchbook— I'm sorry, in our sketching supplies. The paper, the texture of the paper can play, you know, play a part in creativity. This is just kind of cool to hear. Feels weird sketching without music, but we're gonna do it. Again, I don't know if it's any of that's being picked up. It's fun to try. We have some windows in here as well. So even the same thing with the windows, not drawing perfect rectangles, not filling them in solid, really quick and scratchy lines just to give the idea that there are some windows happening there. And then back in here, we'll do the same thing. There's a little more detail in here. I just wanna pull this out a little bit. And then let's sketch— there's some windows happening way in the distance here. I can't tell exactly what they look like, but that's okay. And we just want to give a suggestion that there's some kind of glass, you know, windows happening. We do have a bunch of vertical pieces here. There's something else happening here. Here we go. Awesome. A little bit. Okay, we can hear a little bit. That's good, that's cool. It's definitely worth trying. Awesome. Let's go back and, um, we're gonna wrap this up. Oh, we're back to the first song. AMTB Racing 35 joined. Great to see MTB Racing, hope all's well. All right, so let's, um, sketch some windows, some, some of the detail here, this metalwork on, on our conservatory roof. So conservatory is basically a big sunroom, right? A lot of glass. Freaking kind of sketch in suggestion that there's some metal work happening here, right? And then also here we actually have some windows, vertical pieces happening. And we're just going to do some hatching lines here, some diagonal lines, to give a suggestion of some glass happening here. Hey Madeline! Maddie's in the house! What's up Maddie, great to see you. Hope all's well. Maddie is an awesome artist as well. It's great to see you. All right, so yeah, so I'm adding some details on the roof of the billboard. Let me zoom out a little bit. Pretty cool, right? And then let's, let's look at this next to— hey, Jennifer Thistles here from Arizona! Hey Jennifer, great to see you, hope all's well. Here's some of the other built Mora Wanis. Uh, so we got a nice little collection going here. Cheers from Quartzsite, Arizona. Yeah, it's great to see you. I haven't seen you in a while. Hope all is well. Linda S says, like this view. Yeah, it's pretty cool, right? It's, um, it's, it's kind of a rooftop. It's a high up, high up view looking at the building. We're not down on the ground level. [Speaker:STAN] So, that's a good point. To make your sketches, your architectural sketches interesting, don't always feel like you need to be sketching from ground view, right? You could be up higher in a building. You could focus on parts of the building, maybe a door or a window. Don't always feel like you have to sketch the entire building. That it could be really, really daunting. Is that the right word, daunting? I don't know, I hope so. Could be really daunting for your brain if you do that, overwhelming, and it could really just kind of paralyze you from even wanting to sketch a building. So, just take a part of it you like and explore it and just, you know, like I do, I'm not striving for perfection with these sketches. It's just really, it's just really, um, about fun. Cool. You guys are amazing. Um, I like the way this is turning out. We'll add a little bit more to it, then we're going to wrap up. I need music. I definitely need music. Let's see, uh, what should we put on? The holiday playlist? No, I gotta, I gotta update my music here. I gotta switch things up.

Looks great, congrats! Thank you.

And I do want to pull the edges out a little bit here just so this looks a little bit closer. What do you guys think? Would you guys say this is done? I'm gonna, I'm gonna say it's done. Alright guys, I think this one might be done. I don't want to overdo it. Unless it's too late for that. Hey, let me know if you have any last questions before we wrap up here. I appreciate y'all so, so much. Um, yeah, all right, I'm gonna zoom out. Let's put all these pieces together, see what they look like. I'm just going to cover up my water so I don't spill it. All right, let's do that. Let's move some of these here. All right, put that there. Let's throw this one down. Got this one. I know we can't see all the whole thing. That's okay, we're doing a throwdown. It's called a throwdown. It's gonna throw down your pieces and see what they look like. Yeah, there's one thing I might want to do. I kind of see I did it here. I used a yellow— I think this was a yellow Posca paint pen, and I popped some bright yellow out. I actually like that. Um, here's the Posca pen. So I think we'll do that. I think we'll throw some yellow Posca on there. Um, nothing's impossible. All right, and then we have this one, this kind of off cam a little bit. So there you go, right?

Kind of cool.

And why that Posca? So I kind of like the way The yellow kind of pops a little bit on these. Which is the first one? This was— this is the first one I did. Love it. This one says ridiculously breathtaking. Trying to be fun, trying to have fun with words. This one says built, built more, sketched less, just to play on the words. I know, I know, I know. What was I thinking? Dad jokes. Um, oh, this one's called Raising the Roof. Get it? Raising. All right, let's add some yellow on here. Welcome to stay with me another minute. So if you have to go, I get it too. Oh, uh, pro tip: shake your Posca pens with the lid on, with the cap on. I have shaken them with the cap off, and let's just say there's Posca paint on my walls. All right, all right, let's throw down some of that yellow. You can see I was trying to do that. This actually came out pretty good with— this is just watercolor, really thick. It actually looks awesome. I feel like I could use some— I don't know, we'll figure it out.

Alright, kiddo.

All right, kid, time to put the Posca away. I don't want to get too crazy. Ta-da! There we go. Hey, Jennifer says love it. Hey, thank you, Jennifer, that is so nice of you. You guys are awesome. You're, you're always so polite. I love your feedback, your energy. You guys, thank you. I really mean that from the heart. Thank you guys for liking what I do, for following me, for commenting, for sharing. It means a lot to me. This is my passion. I love doing stuff, and the fact that I get to share it with you guys, I appreciate you all so, so much. I think that's going to be a wrap for now, guys. Even though I have a 2-hour delay tomorrow, I think I'm going to wrap right now. If we have a snow day tomorrow, I think I'll be on live, um, around lunchtime. So if there's a snow day, I will show up for lunch. We'll call it sandwich and sketching time. Have some sandwiches, sketching time. Fingers crossed. I do love teaching, guys, I really do, but fingers crossed we have a day off tomorrow. But see how it goes. QQQ, is the orangish color watercolor or ink? Yes, so the orangish color is ink. I'll show it to you. And you have seen this ink before. It's my favorite color ink that they don't make anymore. It's, um, it's Apple Snail. Apple Snail. Unfortunately, there's— they don't— they're not making this color. I've been on a waiting list for a long time, so this color I don't think is going to be in production anymore. I'm actually going to email them directly, see, ask. But this is Apple Snail. That's where that color comes from. Great, great question. Um, I did find another ink similar by the same— same company sells it. It's called Rusted Rivet. You guys want to see it? Actually, here, Linda. Cheers, Jennifer! Cheers! I was going to leave this one black and white, but let's throw down a little bit of color on it just so I can show you. Actually, even for my, my own curiosity, I want to compare the Rusted Rivet with Apple Snail. So, great question. I'll look for you then if I do. All right, cool. Yeah, I can't promise. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Makes so wild splashes that way. We could make wild splashes. All right, gotta open my water. Give me a sec. This is a great— I've been, I've been meaning to do this and I haven't done it yet. All right, so I'm just gonna knock my brush. All right, so here's Apple Snail. Maybe we'll just throw some here. What I like about Apple Snail is it almost has, almost has like a caramel color to it. I'm going to lighten it up a little bit, just spread it with water. And I'm just going to dip a little bit, dip in and just blot some on here, right? So there's that. All right, let's dip into the Rusted Rivet. I almost said Rusted Root. Do you guys remember Rusted Root, the band? What was that one song they had? Oh my gosh, I can picture in my brain. I can hear it in my brain. Can you picture songs? I can hear it in my brain. Um, all right, this is the Rusted Rivet. Just kind of throw it. Where should we throw it? Down here maybe. Oh my gosh, they are so similar. Rusted Rivet looks like it's more brown. Let me dilute some of it with water. I'll ask you guys if you can tell the difference. All right, so here are the two colors. Uh, the lighting here— hey, Joyce is on in the house! Joyce, great to see you, hope all's well. So here are the two colors. Here's Apple Snail. Here's Rusted Rivet. Can you guys tell the difference? Let me know in the chat, I'm curious. I can see the difference here. It might be hard to pick up on camera. So this was the interior library of the library at the Biltmore Estate, and now here's how this one's drying right here. Joyce says hello. Good to see you, Joyce. Welcome to the Insta side of things. We are on Insta right now and Facebook and YouTube all at the same time. Gotta love modern tech when it's working. I should put the caps on so I don't spill these inks. Yes, Rust is darker. Yeah, Linda, I agree with you. So the Rust color is definitely— it's darker. I'll bring it up closer. Here's the Rust color. Here's the Apple Snail color. So I'm a huge fan of Apple Snail. I like the Rusted Ribbit as well. This has a nice orangey kind of color to it. So cool, guys. And here's the Rusted— here's the Apple Snail I used here, so you can kind of see it. Aight, let me know if you guys have any last questions. I know I've been extending the playtime here. But a 2-hour delay, I guess, equals more time for sketching. Go to bed a little bit later. Um, I'm loving the way this is drying, guys. This is cool. But it's, it's done. I'm not going to add any more to it. And if you remember the purple, this was that sample watercolor, the purple. I don't remember brand it is. It has that metallic-y— camera's not focusing— there we go. That's kind of a metallic-y finish to it. Um, you could see it on here as it dried. You can see some of that, the metallic. Look over here, actually. You can almost see it shimmering a little bit. So that was fun just to play around and see how that worked out. Linda says it goes good with yellow. Yeah, right, you can see that here. I like— this is like cool, like jazz music. Um, you can see that here, here with yellow, right? You guys know this is my, my favorite color palettes. I love the kind of industrial grungy kind of vibes and colors. Is this— look, are these the real colors of the Biltmore Estate? Oh, not at all, but it's what I feel. I just— it's what I want to bring to the Biltmore when I sketch it. I have photographs that depict it, the real colors, the real view, the accuracy. Sketching for me is about the looseness, the fun, whimsical kind feelings. That's why I do this stuff. Awesome. All right guys, we're gonna peace out. Thank you so much for watching. Um, I appreciate y'all so, so much. Keep paying it forward with your creativity, right? Creativity for positivity. Thank you guys so, so much.
