Creative block is a reality... it's weird. I feel like I am many, many years overdue creating myself.* I'm lucky to have a degree of creative freedom in my work occasionally, but it's still externally purpose-driven. Not enough by a long shot. Thank you for sharing this inspiration! 💫 * "overdue creating myself" Huh, interesting double entendre right there!

Love your artwork, your polaroids that you've hung on your wall, and above all your cat. It's really cute! It's 8pm GMT, right?

In the past, I never knew why I painted or drew. I just liked to. Would get an idea and I’d want to see it on the paper and it was a simple as that. But now, it’s still simple yet not at all basic… I do it because I have to. I do it because I still can. And I don’t know when I won’t be able to anymore. So I’m inspired by the curiosity of, “how long can I still do this in the way I like to do it?” You see, I am going blind… And I don’t know how long I have. so every piece is an accomplishment. And every day I strive to improve no matter what. Thank you for making a video on this topic :-)

My hubs does this for me too. When I’m working on a painting n something is off I show/ask him n he always helps me with my thoughts or if I have multiple ideas for one thing I tell him n he gives me his opinion. He is my 2nd set of eyes and I love that he helps me🥰 bc he also sees my vision that I’m going for he isn’t artistic like I am but his vision is important to me and we see things the same. So he’s perfect for my art blocks and as a fresh pair of eyes lol sounds creepy but I hope this made sense🥰❤️😂

Is it ink or really watered down paint or something else?

I had the same thought as him and it came out so cute! Nicely done ❤ love seeing cute couples encourage and contribute to each other's projects

So cute, I hope the kitty in the painting is happy in they’re little witch hat ❤

I've never had an art channel person give me a choice between such specific topics. My favorite thing to do on these channels is look on while you create, and maybe you're sharing some of your thoughts, your motivations, your ideas and your struggles. Some of my own "messing around" art inspo comes from seeing what you pros are up to. Your illustration project sounds interesting. Any chance of seeing some WIP from that? I don't know if I as much vibe with art receptions, especially if their ritzy-glitzy. I like seeing things with artists getting together collab-ing a bit and bouncing ideas off each other.

Hi Jen, I’m new here but I saw this video and clicked immediately because I am in the process of setting up an “art studio” in my small space too lol. This video was super cute and your smile is so pretty !! I can’t wait to follow along your journey .💓

Looks pretty and delicate ❤ it's always such a blessing to create art!

...quite a lot to think about. Funny story: One day, one or two decades ago, I was on a bridge overlooking a beach, where two attractive young ladies were lying on a beach blanket chatting. Everything struck me as interesting about this scene, so I whipped out my sketchpad and pencil and began hastily capturing what I saw. A few minutes into this, I was observed by said ladies, and by a gentleman who was with them. They all pointed up to where I was standing, and the gentleman came to see me. Although nothing in my sketch was particularly scandalous, I became very protective of it, and a bit fearful of the dreaded knuckle sandwich, so I vacated my perch, sketchbook intact. The rest of my sketches from that trip are of seagulls and fire hydrants. I have since posted that sketch on my IG, with a bit of a ramble about its origins, but I still haven't quite figured out how, or why, to talk about my art-stuff in here, so you've given me quite a lot to think about. Thank you for that!!

Love this simplicity view of art. Thank you for sharing, love you kitty. I have 6. Helen 🇬🇧 uk. Xxx

Cute I love it!❤❤

I just watched something so similar to this in my music feed, about how music school conditions people to spend countless hours in the practice room over four years, laboring in solitude, trying to impress their professors, only to be completely rudderless with their fresh music degree at the end of the four years, needing to learn from scratch about the business side, the hustle, the gigging and the live paying audience connection which make up the profession outside of school. The dude laid out an iron clad case, saying you can get way better exposure to the real music world on your own without laying out $200k or more, by picking a mentor to study with, joining a band or starting one, setting up and playing local gigs, and seeing if it's for you. I've been messing around with both music and art since early childhood, and whereas I subjected my music side to a few years of school, I ran the other way whenever anything to do with art classes or art school came up. ...so when I open an art project to start it, I'm listening to silly, playful instincts about what I want to say and how I want to go about saying it. When I open a music project to start it, I let my art guy inform my music guy, and I tune out a lot of what I experienced in my music training, and I focus on what's fun for me. Thank you for reaffirming that my approach to art also has merit, and in some ways, might even be better than formal study would have been.

She also said she learned to sing properly 2 years ago(got a vocal coach), you can actually hear the difference with 2023 album and the ones before.

Ur like me … squirrel! Focus gone,😝

Haven’t heard of her but now I will listen to all her songs! I believe something bad happened at her first record company that was terrible like sexual harassment or something in that direction. In EU there is a recent law that make it illegal to take a photo in public of anyone without their consent. It is mainly aimed at stopping malicious posting in social media but I think it could protect anyone from being mistreated. A kind of weird consequence is that if you take a picture of a historical building you have to ask the owner for permission. I wonder if this applies to paintings too? I am thinking of the row between OpenAI and Scarlett Johanssen where they created an avatar with her voice. It was even worse, they asked her for permission and she said no. Then they found a person that could mimic her and used it instead. It boils down to every persons right to their own persona, to everything that are them! What do you think?

Soooo interesting!!! Also thank you for the "in case you've been living under a rock" explanation of who she is, because apparently I have been living under a rock LOL

This is so fun!!! I love Joseph’s ✨influencer voice✨ 🤣🤣🤣

I didn’t go to art school! And I’m grateful I didn’t have those experiences, because I realllly would’ve been discouraged and probably easily manipulated into changing my artistic direction. I did get some art critique experience at the art gallery, I can’t remember if you were ever a part of them. There was one piece I put up, honestly one of my favorites still to this day, that the artists there helped me with the lighting in my painting. And so to me, that’s what I think of. Artists helping to refine my work. I’m sorry you had that experience, but I love to hear about it!!! Forever inspired my you, friend! 🫶🏻

Art school should teach techniques not enforcing a specific style. My experience is that you need to shun your teacher at one point. You should travel to Europe, France, Italy to find yourself, we all need to get out of our local art world and get a bigger picture.

Idk

Whats the top secret tea cup technique 👀

I love how you worded this. Beautiful painting! :]

Hi 🥰 I am also an artist, I really love such blogs! Your place is very cozy and I like your color scheme 🌸🎨💕

Those teacups are skibidi

The gallery wall is so beautiful 😍

i cannot find Dns

This was so fun to watch! I literally laughed out loud when you were moving the bookshelf all across the room just to put it back where you originally had it. 🤣

art is hard and selling that art is even harder. You are super brave for the attempt

i quit my day job in 2022 to take my art full time & it didnt go as planned either- but im still so glad i did! for me i am still fully self employed and i just hit the two year mark in may but it doesnt look at all like how i thought it would, i got a freelance artist position doing exactly what i used to do at my 9-5 but im paid double, make my own schedule, and im treated so much better. in january i started teaching art as a freelance art teacher at like an after school lessons place and even though the management is incredibly toxic my teacher friends have been some of the best people ive ever met and i wouldve never known how much i love teaching art if i had never tried it. i think im meant to do a lot of different small things like this over short periods of time, because i get bored easily and im finding so much more success than i ever have working a 9-5 even though it looks nothing how i thought it would its still so much better suited to how i operate and i am able to live so much more comfortably. this is such a great video and i appreciate everything you share ❤ this is a journey not a lot of people take and im glad you’re talking about it openly, because perfect success stories of things going exactly as planned are so so rare in this industry but just because things dont go as planned doesnt make them failures!!

great video! really resonated with me in relation to my attempt at doing art as a career. lots of ups and downs and learning what you really want and what you really need in life. it's been hard sometimes learning that there's no end point but that life's just a constant journey. everything is in flux and growing and changing all the time. it feels overwhelming but also freeing! anyway lol it's been so cool seeing your journey and i'm excited to see where it takes you!! (it's lauren from school btw lol hi)

this video really resonated with me and where I am in life right now, thank you <3

Super interesting perspective! As someone who uses AI regularly, I think it depends on the goal of the AI user (kind of playing to your point!). But I definitely think it'll replace jobs with objective answers (data analysts, for example) more than subjective opinions like creative work. So cool to start a conversation on it, thanks for the video!

😍😍✨️

GOOD LUCK! 😍👏👏✨️

😊

Breathing

i wonder what it would look like if you took a picture of every single sketchbook page and made a video of a combination of the pictures (like the drawings show for a quarter of a second each!) i know it’d be a lot of work but it would be so cool to see the transformation and the growth!

Loved this video! I can't wait to try and paint along <3

P r o m o s m
