ive tried paying for ads on Instagram but it's still a waste of money. my account still doesn't get seen, followers or likes.

Hi Christina thank you so much for this video it really helped me to focus. I am just starting out and am really worried I won't sell my work. Here in Australia there is a cost of living crisis and people are not spending on luxury items. But I am priviledged because I am now retired so its not crucial to my survival. I have a solo show in 4 weeks so I am feeling quite nervous. Your video has helped a lot.

Great exercise

To get past the initial fear starting a new project I find listening to music helps ease the tension and nerves.

This is so helpful! Love your channel. I really want an intuitive grasp of composition as you say in the video…

What is "acrylic wash"?

I think I will do the same challenge This is a great idea!

So true! Almost every time I paint and get to that stage I have to remind myself that’s where I’m at and to stay with it. “It will get better.” And it usually does…usually 😊

You said it has no videos? Can musicians use this at all

Thanks for keeping this short.

Thank you. That was really helpful

this is GORGEOUS

Thank you

شكرا جزيلا بارك الله فيكم وحفظكم واسعدكم

Thank you. This is helpful.

Great Video/ Art! Im so inspired to continue trying new things I keep learning from your videos. You have wonderful "Shapework" if thats a word.. Impressive portrait sketch from life. Beautiful effects of light on your self portrait painting. Did you discover your talents with drawing before ever painting? How long have you been seriously oil painting, and do you still ever use acrylics on larger pieces?

Awesome! Very inspiring! Love your tree drawings, statue shapes I saw birds, self portraits really speak.. Incredible vision of shapes and shadows! (and colors) Curiosity and evolution!! "No subject is too humble" I love that! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Christina!! This has helped me lots!! I'm putting it in practice and it's been working great 🥰

Very helpful thank you. Love your art

I saw your sketchbook post on Instagram today and wondered if you did any videos on them. Wow, I'm blown away by your studies. It's inspiring to see your sketchbooks!

My landscape or general painting process. Preparation; once the subject is chosen, then the aspect ratio, cropping, size of the work and priming. 1. Sketch drawing on the base 2. Tinting the base, erasing the tint from the light areas 3. Rough painting thinned, over the entire surface using midtones from the background to the foreground with a large brush 4. Painting the background or textures of the shadows 5. Painting the lights and shadows from behind to the front, blending the tones 6. Highlighting small details A good tip for preparing for point 3 was choosing and mixing colors on a palette. If you're doing abstract or portraits, the steps are different.

I spent 8hrs a day on Instagram trying to learn marks skinner box. I asked a woman in town how many dollars she made from her daily videos and 80k followers. She said $100 total.

Nice and effective style 👍🌸😍

Practicing always feels like a waste of paint or pencils. having a grand idea and not being able to get it out always is never fun. And then i always end up thinking about the effort that went into making all the stuff we are using. undertones do seem to be good for a variety of reasons, it makes sense too to take away the purity of the canvas. I think what would be a good video is to show ways of how to plan paintings and get into your head to find your ideas. Doing that i think will help for being ready to start too.

I usually come up with a goal then determine the size of the canvas to present the goal. I don't find a blank canvas motivating.

Thanks for sharing ❤ great tips for facing that big white thing

I just started my own art RUclips channel! You're an inspiration ~ thank you so much!

I always start painting the background with burnt sienna

this is super helpful advice, especially the "don't look for inspiration" ... I have been idly browsing hours for inspiration, wasting all the good time...

I'm on Cara as of two weeks ago!

❤

I really like that raw sienna underpainting! Such a nice color and it gives a nice finish at the end of the process! Also your style is distinctive (at least to my eye), the usage of the square/flat brushes gives a special look!

Good points, thanks for sharing:-)!

Great video. I definitely relate to everything you talk about.

Beatifull painting! Yes, always work through it! Lol great narrative. Fast eyes.. I sometimes stop take my eyes off of the canvas for a 30 second meditation before correcting or forcing anything. Be brave and bold with highlights. Love idea of developing brush stokes with big brush on small canvas. I love this comp. It works great! Wiithout the highlighting effect you desired. It turn out great!! Darker shadows helped some against the highlight. Thicker paint with pallette knife under your highlight may have darkened your desired highlight. Good study, great work!

Yes, thank you! I agree! Contrare to popular belief.. All shadows are not cool! All highlights are not warm! Lol Good point on different sunlight and/or light sources. Great observation of the masters as well! Good eye, Great video!

You're an open book, and what a lovely chapter.. Thank you.. You "are" the honest mind of the artist. I sincerely know how it can be. Artists certainly do struggle Christina. We all get lost and emotionally drained. Feeling uncertainty as an artist is like you're an autumn leaf just falling in the rain and wind backwards spinning not knowing what or where the wind may blow you too next. Be the leaf. Be fearless, Be Free.. Your personal Art journey has bloomed and will surely swirl you around with the seasons of your life. You must always continue creating at your best, and you certainly will. Remember your art has surely enlightened your spirit and changed your identity by now. Art is now forever intertwined with your soul and you know there is no going back from your true path now, Artist. There is a feeling that comes, I'll call "growing pains" as an artist. Be fearless of them, you are and will always be an talented artist creating incredible, unique, and inspirational artwork for the world, dont worry. So, maybe embrace these emotions sometimes, they too are connected within your honest voice as an artist. You might surprise yourself with what you will create one dark day and inspire even more! Perhaps challenge yourself sometime to maintain your artwork to your own personal standards throughout an unpleasant emotional times. It Builds up your artist muscles dude. Create a painting as a struggle and then work through it and overcome it. I would guess you've struggled through happy paintings as well. So, try to confidently Work through both ends and it will feel even more liberating to see a painting come alive! I know you wont be sad after that, you'll adore the painting and the feeling it gives back to you. You will feel the heal when your beauty is born from the dark.. lotus. You will cross your bridge. Experience yourself channel this into your most beautiful Artwork. Always believe in your abilitys no matter how sad you feel. I know your always aiming to help others and your doing such a great job of that, very admirable! God bless you and your beautiful soul! Note: I'd still not go over 3 days without at least moving some paint around lol it could be painfull. I know how extreme block can hurt and even make us sick. You have all the tools to overcome any challenge in front of you, even while feeling sad. You will not lose your passion for Art. Keep up the good work!! Thank you for all the inspiration!

Very helpfull video! And I love the list in description below vid for beginners. Thank you again for your tips!

I know that the most interesting painting often appears unexpectedly when you are near the point where you think all this is going to the garbage bin. And, otherwise, when you are about to create a masterpiece, you will probably fail. I noticed that a big (expensive) canvas is dangerous because it means you must create something valuable and this overthinking is holding you back.

Thanks for this encouragement 😊

Great video and good to see you, Christina! I have been in a creative slump for some time. I wish I knew what is holding me back. I dream of getting back to large canvases but I have a small creative space in my current living situation. I have used this as an excuse, because I have plenty of materials to work on some smaller pieces. Anyway, it is wonderful for me to see your progress and creative expression. So glad your path is moving you forward!!!

Hey, thanks for the audio track in spanish, works fine.
