I relate to Clara's comment about feeling envious of not having access to RUclips early on. I'm in my 60s (how did *that* happen?), and self-taught. It was brutal back then, learning on your own. A lot of reinventing the wheel. Took a 20-year break from painting and drawing and now re-entering, RUclips has been a God-send. Love Art Prof! Definitely my favourite art channel. On the other hand, I see so many artists struggling as a result of the pressure felt from social media, and that wasn't a factor. Pluses and minuses, either way. Thanks for the videos. One of the things I love about Art Prof is it's the only channel I've found where it really does feel like there's an artists' community here.
Desperately needed this. Had a huge "starting - issue" this week so I couldn't make art or anything cuz I was just scared and overwhelmed. Thanks for the video ❤❤
Yeah, it can be really frustrating creating an art community from scratch. :/ At least we have online communities now. -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist

I am soooooo glad I didn't grow up with social media!!! At the same time it continually blows my mind what is accessible today. -Prof Lieu

I miss having an active art community. Where I am now, despite having several local and regional artists, it isn't a cohesive group by any measure.
