Great idea, it turned out beautiful and interesting👏👍

The Visual Journal with watercolor papers is wonderful. I have been using them for a few years now. The are great with wet on wet painting, mixed media, never had a problem. Not expensive, plus you can use both sides for practice.

Susan, have you done any lives of making your art?

Way to go Susan, you got this

I lost my book! :(

I’m 24 and I have started to stuggle with memory loss for a couple of years now and I’m very terrified. Thank you for sharing!!! Sending love!! 🙏

Good luck!

This was fun! I haven’t been south of Newport for many years but I love it there! Have you ever made your own graphite paper? I rub graphite, like from your pencil or a graphite stick to one side of a piece of tracing paper. I then smooth it with a piece of tissue/Kleenex and then go over it with another tissue with rubbing alcohol on it. That takes off the excess but leaves the graphite on it. I store mine in an old wrapping paper tube. It lasts forever and is erasable! Carbon paper is for permanent copies, oil based stuff! You can buy graphite paper but this is so much easier and it is cheap! ;) Merry and Happy! New subbing….

Leave a comment let me know what you like , what would you like to see ?

I never had an issue with calling myself and artist, but my issue was that the majority of people don’t appreciate the prices! I also don’t live in a great area for art so that’s also an issue, I don’t want to live in a metro area and I am not a fan of social media I had a big presence on it a few years ago and did it religiously everyday, made content and it was a lot of work I sold quite a bit but it’s not a steady income and supplies are expensive I’ve decided a job and art on the side is best model for me. Less stressful making a living;)

Just found you. I love you🎉🎉🎉. ❤❤❤

Big hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I'm a Mixed Media/ Intuitive Artist, loved meeting you & hearing your insights. Looking forward to future videos. Art is Life and Life is Art. 🌈🎨📝🫶

“The more sugar I have or the more wine I drink, the next day I’m dumb as a rock!,” hahahahaha! Relatable!

Susan, Hello from The Dalles. Blessings

So what’s the secret to creative genius? I’m not sure I heard that in this video.

Hi Susan. I randomly found you on RUclips this morning and have watched a few of your videos. I love watercolour abstracts and anything created in a "mindful" way as it really helps with my mental health! I have now subscribed to your channel and will look forward to your new content as well as looking at all your previous videos ❤ I was really interested to see you were born in Newport. I live in Pontypool with my husband and 2 toy poodles (hence my art name 😂) so Newport is just down the road from us! Thank you for making the effort to share your art and knowledge with us. Merry Christmas and a Happy Artful 2025 ❤

Good video

❤

Beautiful colour selection ❤

I like your painting! Gold ALWAYS helps. 😆 Congratulations on getting married! Wishing you both all the best!!!

Wow you’re so talented

It took courage for you to take the first step. Be kind to yourself!! You will get there!! I applaud you for ALL that you have accomplished. You are beautiful & amazing! I am cheering you on. 🙏☝️💪⚘️

Beautiful doodles..love the cards too

Great encouragement to get started on RUclips for us who have reached the age of wisdom.

I love your art❤

I haven't done an acrylic pour in so long. When I made one I wasn't happy with I added gold leaf after it dried. I like the colors in this one.

I loved watching you paint but due to the music being too loud I could not hear your voice so it lost its appeal, sorry.

Your cards are wonderful.

I can really relate to this. Let's connect up.

Nice to meet you! I subscribed, can totally relate as I grow my channel...day by day I grow =) My cat's videos gets thee most views lol...go figure =)

Oh...and I live outside Eugene! And it sure does RAIN!!!!! LOL

Hey! I am 67 and an artist as well. I have been mulling it around to do a youtube channel. Anyway, I support you all the way and admire your boldness to do a channel. We all need support and I will watch all your videos. I know nothing on how to do it but it's all learning....on our own time :) Thanks for the encouragement :)

Hi Susan! I just watched your video, and as of now you have over 1k subscribers, so congrats! I have just started investigating this RUclips thing and I have been watching lots of videos on how to start andI have been taking lots of notes. I watched your video because of the title. I am 52 and when I saw you are 69/70 that peeked my interest to hear what you had to say about your experience with RUclips and why you started a channel. I really resonated with your story about your dad and his struggles and eventual passing from Alzheimers. Such a tragic illness. I have so much compassion for people who struggle with that type of disease. I read an article recently that said staying creative helps keep your mind nimble and creating things can actually work out your brain the same as if you were exercising your body. I found that very interesting and it really affirmed all the money I have spent learning so many different creative hobbies. (ha ha). Thank you for being adventurous enough to take the leap! Also, I noticed that when you laugh at yourself you have the loveliest smile! Keep enjoying what you do! Cheers!!

I'm in my 60's and have been thinking about it but not sure what direction/content I want to take. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love your story of your beginnings of starting your RUclips channel and appreciate the the effort to learn as you go. I believe your resolve is going to get you there and beyond what you have imagined. Best wishes on your journey.

Keep doing what youre doing...its inspirational for younger folks like me. I appreciate the message and the insight ❤😊

Hi, Susan, How many public watch time hours do you have? I'm Richard, just hit 1000 subs a few days ago. But, my hours (excluding shorts) have hovered at 685 for a few weeks now. Any idea how to get more hours? I'm now past 365 days in so, each time I get a few more hours another day passes and I lost those hours from last year. So, I'm just treading water. It's getting harder and harder not to just quit.

This video is delightful. I don’t know how your video came up on my feed. Subbed and liked. Since each of us gravitates to those we feel we can relate to, everyone can create their own RUclips. You’ve taken off, and others will be encouraged by you and follow suit!

This is fantastic Susan! I recently started a channel as well and I find it so inspiring to see other people who are older and get started on their way. 1000 Subcribers is a distant goal for me at this point, but you give me a lot of hope. Best wishes on your journey!

Hi Susan, thank you for sharing some of your experiences with us. I too think it's a good thing to start a RUclips channel in your late '60s. Starting my RUclips channel has helped energize me so I quit sitting and watching TV all day in my retirement. Good luck to you and hopefully you get all of your subscribers needed!

Yes, that *amzclothes* dress! I have the candy pink one and I've been wearing my "Barbie" dress all summer long. It's awesome!

❤❤❤❤

Wow informative! It looks so easy after you show how.

Comment below and support each other 💥Lets help our small creative channels and subscribe to each other .

So therapeutic, thank you for sharing, I'm going to give this a try.

❤

Adding some more yellow on the opposite side from the others will make it more balanced I think. Nice colors.

Cool video love it

Have you tried doing that technique using mineral paper and liquid paint like Ecoline or something like that brand? If you have not, but are curious, I’d like to see a video of you doing that.

oh man, what these scammers are doing to us "rich" westerners is terrible. There seems to be no stopping them. Governments don't do a thing, so they're pretty much useless! If it isn't the Chinese with their fakes, it's the East Indians' phone scams, or Africans catfishing. Sorry you were the guinea pig here, but thank you for showing us so we can be more aware. We have to look out for each other. thank you! I agree, the clothing is hideous. Be well
