I love your videos in the morning here in Boston before I start my art stuff and routine ☕️🪴🌬️🎨

Much Love from Newbury St. in Boston !💜🧸💐

Today, I paint! But first, let's re-organize my tubes, prob should clean two palettes that I was lazy and didn't clean last time, gotta eat something, check emails, palettes soaked/cleaned/dried, look at unfinished painting, decide on changes, what colors did I use again?, how am I gonna do this or that?, hmm room needs vacuumed, is the sun in a good spot?, better make a grocery list, i need help! Didn't Vida say she was a landscape artist and liked that best? Will see if she has any tips.... which video to watch? that looks good, oh, theres a good one, maybe that one and that one, finally settle on one, husband came home with his usual greeting - what's to eat?, ugh!, start video (this one) and almost the first comment out of your mouth was to apply a thin layer of linseed oil cuz the painting has sat for a week..... mine has sat for 2 months! But there you go! start with the linseed oil! and once you put brush to canvas, you are on your way and nothing can interrupt you. THANKS FOR THAT LITTLE TIDBIT to get me started! oh, well, better finish video! THEN I will get started. :)

Painting is an EXPRESSION of ourselves. So how appropriate and refreshing to have a painter speak of other issues in their life not giving in to the weather or the "off-ness" of getting up late. And thank you for the reminder that you WILL be successful when you put the effort in. I homeschooled my sons and my focus was not booklearning or scholastic. It was the strength of your mind. Overcoming outside circumstances or snarky people to rise above. So thank you again for that reminder to rise above and putting your "mind to it". Oh for pete sake, i am typing as i am listening and you just mentioned the mom mode (and the comment that you didnt get to paint yesterday) - that, too, is so true! I have a knot in my stomach of i cant paint BUT I am a grandma who helps with daycare and that mode means weeks with no painting. But i adore grandma mode, too! What a great musing! Yes, a lesson in painting can refer to many other areas of life. Ugh! Time management. And now you are on to habitual reactions and not being hard on yourself... isnt life all about learning!! Blessings to you and encouragement for success in all your goals! Oh my gosh, i could comment so much more on accepting yourself, but holy moly, i am exhausted now....time for a nap! THIS WAS DEEP! 😂😊😊

Thankyou for taking us along on this painting Very brave. None of my suggestions were given in a bad way Just sharing some of the pitfalls I have encountered during my drawing journeys

One of the other problems I have encountered is Printers that “fit the image to a size” Un check this feature and keep it to original size When the printer shrinks it can shorten the legs or change the body Not noticed on a landscape But you sure see it on animals or people

Did you do your drawing flat on the table Sometimes that can skew the proportions( ask me how I know that!😂)

If you split the face down the centre Either one is correct They are both not quite the same scale

🎉🎉🎉

I did this type of challenge with a donkey. Wow, did it turn out bad. I am somewhere in the middle of loose and detailed. The longer I work on it, the more detailed it gets. I use a grid for portraits. I think I need to keep moving away from realism. Thank you for this video.

Beautiful insight, I could just imagine the brilliant scene at that precise moment.

Good morning 🎉

just missed you!.. ttys

hi

Yes! So true... no matter what we want to accomplish... it's our dedicated consistent practices that will bring it to fruition!! ... It's important to incorporate the fundamentals into a project, be it drawing; painting; time management.. what have you...and it's the dedicated consistency that will bring it to fruition. .. 😀 👏 👏 👏

I like it a lot more after the Golden Ratio, the painting was more visually appealing to me. I don't analyze art trying to see ,If it right or wrong. I just leave it to " I like something or I don't"

THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Vida ~ I REALLY liked this video! I am only in the beginning stages of finding my "style" but I did figure out one mantra: you are either really good at realism or it just looks stupid! I love it when you can put a dab of paint just there and give the illusion of a realistic item. I did do a painting of 2 pistachios in a realism way, but I worked and reworked and reworked, to the point of no enjoyment. And to me, that is not what art is about! Thank you for filming "what's not for you"!

Drawing portraits are a hit or miss when I give it a try. Don't know all the rules going about drawing. This may sound dum but sometimes I feel the rules get in the way? So what I do, is look at it, before during and after.

I teach H.S. art and we mention golden ratio, but find it hard to really to approach....BUT THIS is approachable. Thank you!

This painting really tested me! What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from your own creative struggles? Comment below! 👇✨

I tend to take screenshots of art off instagram. Though rarely do I place them on a vision board.

Thank you ! ✨💜

I enjoy your videos. I'm trying to do the RUclips thing but so far not so well.

Hi Vida! Thank you for this great video. I did my first oil painting 3 weeks ago but it cracked! I am not done with it and thought I can work in layers but now I am worried I can't do that. I would so appreciate your advice on this. Thank you!

I love your "ocean in a cup" analogy!!❤

I think U are wonderful too! Look forward to your portrait or figure, think I'll paintalong with U!

Good morning 🌄

You're not alone... I'm the same way... and most likely many are... . laughter is the best medicine 😂😂😂

P.S. I think you’re wonderful. 🤗

Arting without fear is my goal. I am always afraid that I can’t make anything “good” or worthwhile, that every idea will ruin what I’ve already created. Thank you for the encouragement, I need to hear others persevering, and know that it’s okay and I should just keep on keepin’ on! 🥰

👋 all and happy new year.

⚜️This is a helpful video.⚜️ - 💜

⚜️Thank you so very much. Your beautiful soul, and the positive energy you project is unprecedented.⚜️ - 💜💙💜

Your artwork is almost as beautiful as you.🌹XII

I did a similar thing from a drawing I saw in a sketch by Leonardo that I wanted to construct, and I understood how to construct it geometrically the rectangle as an extension of the square but realized I needed to construct the rectangle within the square and then extend it so I solved the construction.....this was fun watching your video and thanks.

Been so cloudy in Michigan today. Grrr.

Good morning. I've been thinking the same about human form. I bought a fashion illustration book for ideas. 2025 is a perfect time for delving into something new.

Excited to see new art!!

Thank you

I hadn’t thought about this before either. I agree that being nice is connected to having good manners and being congenial. Kindness is more thoughtful and does come from a place of genuine care and giving of yourself. Thanks for the thought.

Happy New Year, 2025

Happy New Year 🎉😊

I lost 30 pounds on carnivore/keto. 10 pounds a month. It changed the way I saw myself and I like myself more. 🎉

Good morning! 5am here.🎉 I hope you have a wonderful day and a prosperous New Year.🎉
