Thank you for having me Lindsay!! This was a lot of fun and you are so great at interviewing. I know your podcast is going to really be something people just love!
Thank you for joining me. It is always a pleasure to chat with you:)
My two fave YTers talking together! I enjoyed this so much.
Cinnamon, between you and Lindsay I am SET for inspiring art content. I love you both. Thank you for doing what you do.
Love you both! My two faves on YT. I discovered Lindsay by watching a video where Cinnamon interviewed her years ago- full circle 😂. So thankful for you both!
Man, I wish RUclips was more gentle on you wonderful, creative souls.
You two have taught me probably 80% of what I know about art - It saddens me to think about that big empty space that would be inside me without RUclips.
All the respect ❤️
Thanks 😊
I think it is special that Cinnamon did her content every day during Covid to help people out. That is outstanding.
Thank you Cinnamon for being so up front with your mental health journey, I have been watching and knowing you are helping others on their journeys.
Wow! Cinnamon and Lindsay together, y'all made my day! Like others you are two of my favorite artsy peeps. Thank you both for this interesting video❤❤❤
Thanks 😊
I like the interaction of Cinnamon and John. Plus John is able to monitor the comments and keep things flowing.
Such a great video and conversations ❤ Thank you for your candidness. I also think that RUclips is punitive for creators that take breaks - it would be amazing for RUclips to actually incorporate a “break” feature. I’m taking a step back from RUclips and the impact it would have on actually reaching my community when I’m back was a big thing I considered x
I wish that too. Just to tell youtube that I'm just on pause and not gone forever... that would be awesome
You are so welcome!
I have been subscribed to both of you for ages.. I am so glad to see you talk about Temu. I learned about (Chinese) intellectual property theft some years back when a radio show host was talking about having a piece of equipment he designed being reverse engineered and undercutting his price. There were so many people doing Temu hauls. I resisted for a while then I placed one small order of mostly kitchen gadgets. They were so relentless trying to get me to buy again I deleted everything.. The thing that alarms me is the number of crafters doing Temu hauls.. I completely refuse to watch any Temu hauls. These crafters would be outraged if it were their intellectual property being stolen and sold as cheap Chinese goods, but they don't think anything about buying someone else's designs as long as it's cheap.
I agree, I even see huge creators doing them and I'm like "what are you thinking?!?"
Two of my favorite youtubers :) Nice to see you both.
Thanks 😊
YES!!!!! Thank you, Cinnamon, for mentioning the Green brothers! Hank and John and the Nerdfighteria community and all the things they do for humanity is mind-blowing. ALL the people can benefit in some way from watching their numerous channels. ❤
Love them!
Cinnamon is very brave and speaking such truth. I admire her honesty. My sister is bi-polar and manic can be just as she is describing and/or worst. I hope that those who relate recognize that there comes a time to seek help. I'm thankful her family pushed her to make that call. It sounds as though she has a handle on it now and that is wonderful. Bless her and yay for Ann Arbor, it is a fabulous community not far from me.
Ladies started watching you both at a time in my life when I was kinda restricted to home other than when I was working, more by choice but still restricted. Anyway I started painting, previously had gone to college and received a degree in Art, but not done anything with it. Then I found Cinnamon and Lindsay and a lot of other people, I quietly watch and now has been over a decade ago. I sometimes post a comment but mostly give you a thumbs up and really admire what you all do. Never forget that like you said it doesn't have to be millions, you touched me in a way that got me doing art if anything just for myself, it got me though a very hard time in my life, art brought me a lift, a lift to my inner spirit, i didn't care if anyone saw or liked what I created, IT MADE ME HAPPY. I found a pleasure in something positive and YOU ALL did that so please it's not about the millions of viewers although that would be nice I'm sure, it's about the quality of what you do bring to the table which comes from your hearts and so to me that is so much MORE VALUABLE than I can express or the millions of likes that are here today and gone tomorrow only because they are a fad and they aren't REAL. Keep being YOU and thank you for what you do! You are AMAZING! God Bless to you both and your families.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful note:)
Thank you Lindsay and Cinnamon. I appreciate the conversation on Mental Health. My husband and I both live with mental health issues. We are 65 years old and have watched the mental health field grow and change since the early 1970's. It is important for people to know it is okay to ask for and receive help. Sometimes this requires having medication. By having help we have a better chance at living a good life. I enjoyed the RUclips and AI conversation. Thank you so much.
Wow I am loving this deep conversation ! ❤❤❤
Thanks 😊
I am so glad to hear the topics of this conversation being discussed. Cinnamon, I am sorry for the mental health challenges you are experiencing but I'm happy you have found the resources and support to help you recognize symptoms and better manage them. That takes courage. As for RUclips and other social media platforms, I find it absolutely discouraging and I am saddened that our talented creators need to invest so much time managing the game of algorithms and monitoring unwelcome and sometimes threatening creepers. I wish we who enjoy and thoroughly appreciate all of the content we learn from could get the message through that it is not all about profit. It's about a safe community that is healthy for both creators and viewers. I wish that our creators could just focus on what they enjoy and we as viewers could simply seek out the content we are interested in without it being forced.
I love that you interviewed Cinnamon!!! She’s actually how I found your channel, I love her and her videos as much as I love yours ❤
I'm so glad!
Big hug for Cinn -🤗
Two creators I love and watch several times a week -- this was a treat! Great talk!!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is an amazing podcast episodes.
My two favorites. This will be good. You are both successful with your channels is you are consistent, great teachers, make something that many of us seems unreachable down into steps we can do and have beautiful art.
You both teach us the basics, what brushes, paint on other media, and substrate and why, explaining while you paint the why that demistify most of us.
Thank you so much!
Awesome video and sharing you two. Welcome to Michigan Cinnamon, didn’t know you moved here. I know Jon, your Mom’s husband was from Michigan. So happy to hear you are doing much better. Love to listen to both of you experienced Artists (both so caring and kind). One day I hope to get to the point of maintaining a sustainable small business with my art and crafts. I’m hoping to get my website back up, for some reason it just stopped working, also I need to learn how to link posts and a few other things on social media that I know will help. I love watercolor and have learned so much from you Lindsey. I’m so very grateful for the two of you and wish you both life’s best.
Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing, Cinnamon. We all have to deal with a friend, child, parent or ourself. ❤
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Bravo ladies!
Hello guys! Just FYI, I don't watch what is on my home feed most of the time. I go to the subscriptions and see if anything is new and watch my subscribed channels new videos. I don't know what everyone else does.
I do that too!
I've been subscribed to both of you since the beginning. 10 years! Holy moly!
Another great artist to have on your podcast 🎉 thanks for all u do...
Cinnamon was my very first art teacher back when she started. It's because of her I started looking around YT and found you in what is now 'the room of hoard'. I enjoyed your video podcast today with all of the varied topics! I'm thankful to you both for not only the things you have taught me but also for inspirations that you are.
That is awesome!
I looove your hair Cinnamon ❤️! I’ve had that color hair myself 😊
Cinnamon is right on. Taking your community seriously is so important and you both do that well as does Maymay. And all three of you stay mostly in your own lane doing things you love while providing some variety. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much :)😀
I discovered painting because of Cinnamon. Thank you for this! I gave acrylic paint a good try and then found watercolor that fits me better. Wonderful to see you!
Love Cinnamon! I’ve watched her for years! Now please ask Jane Font if she will be a guest. Then all my favorite artists will have been showcased. ❤
I will have to check her out!
@@thefrugalcrafter awesome! Painting with Jane is her yt name.
Thank you both! Wonderful discussion.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yay ! Cinnamon was the reason I got back into art after high school and she directed me to you for more watercolor tutorials after my aunt me a watercolor tube kit from a art box at a goodwill, I become obsessed after that, mostly because watercolor is such a small medium, I didn't have much space, and because the translucency was breathtakingly beautiful! I want to thank the both of you for taking your time to teach these subjects. They are far more enganging and information than my high school art classes were😢they never even taught us the importance of paint or paint sufaces, which in my book is quite literally the first thing you should learn and therefore should be part of the high school curriculum❤❤❤ love you 2 so much!
Thanks 😊
This is one of my favourite podcasts you’ve recorded. Thanks to both of you for discussing mental health issues. In today’s world I think we need to be open to sharing, educating and supporting each other. I will definitely look at her RUclips videos and website. A great podcast Lindsay. Thanks for creating this one.
You are very welcome:)
Thank you both for your candor and thoughts. Great conversation and enjoyed listening to your stories and opinions.
Thanks for listening
i had so many good paintings i did with the Art Sherpa last year,what a great artist you both are ,i love my art you tube community
Wonderful!
Hi, Lindsay. Thank you for your video
Best wishes and Happy the week. ❤
Thank you! You too!
Great conversation with a myriad of very interesting topics! Sure got me thinking about lots of things…as if I need more in my head hahahaha! Thank you both for your insights!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was such a great chat. I am subscribed to both your channels since I drift back and forth from acrylic to watercolor and both are my top fave channels.. You discussed a lot of interesing things that I had no clue about.. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Love Cinnamon....long time fan! 😊
Yay!
My two faves! Learned a lot from both of you! Thank you!

Two of my very favorite RUclips artists. Love both of you.
You two are probably the people I learnt from the most. Fascinating conversation, thank you both!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My 2 favorite artists in one video 😊 thank you so much for sharing your journey Sherpa we love 💕 you and support you and just know you’ve made more impact on my life than you know I started painting because of you.
You're the best!
I love seeing you guys together! ❤

Absolutely loved every second of this video!!!
Nice to see you Cinnamon! And see you doing so well. Thank you Lindsay for this fab reunion!
Our pleasure!
I found Art Sherpa through Lindsay's channel and the castle collab
Another great discussion! Thank you to both of you. ❤
Our pleasure!
Wow! Such a diverse selection of topics discussed. Thank you both for sharing! 🎉❤
Our pleasure!
Rarely post comments on you tube videos that I watch but felt that I must do so in this presentation.
Thank you Lindsey and Cinnamon for sharing your experiences. I learned sooo much from your comments. Cinnamon you are brave woman to discuss your mental health situation with the world. Your openness and honesty will touch many lives especially during this "Time of Troubles" and hopefully assist in your healing process. As a nurse I am fully aware of the lack of behavioral/mental services in most communities as psych hospitals are filled to capacity with a long waiting list - every day.
Thank you to your family for deciding to share your lived experience with the public. Both of your comments related to the you work "tube treadmill" was very revealing along with the evolution of social media over the past 20-30 years. News to me .. but I do not have children or grandchildren. I see children, adolescents and young/middle aged adults "wired" to their cell phones in public places, even restaurants where no one speaks face to face any longer. Very concerning to say the least and its connection "transhumanism". I note that students attending college classes do not listen to lectures as they are on their social media sites throughout the class. Again, I appreciate both of your honest open conversation .... along with your instructional youtube videos that I have watched regularly over the years. Have learned so much from both of you as I did not begin painting until I was 76 yrs. old.
Thank you for your insights:)
What a great podcast! Really enjoyed the conversation, thanks so much, Cinnamon and Lindsay!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lindsay thank you for bringing this to the entire art community. It's a great service announcement so to speak. I tried the links to Cinnamon's sites and I'm getting error messages. Maybe the links are broken (well it could be me too lol). Just wanted to mention it.
They should be fine now:)
Very interesting topics.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you Lindsay and Cinnamon ❤ such a great podcast ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best interview yet ❤ Thank you Cinnamon and Lindsey 😊
Aww, thanks!
the sherpa is what got me into painting now im a full time artists! thanks sherpa!
Aww love both of you very inspirational ❤❤
Thanks 😊
I agree with the lady. RUclips artists do not sell art. They sell their personality. AI isn't going to hurt them. Nor can AI teach someone the fundamentals. No one can teach art. One can't absorb art skill. One must actually put in effort, pencil time, brush time, etc to learn it. Nothing will remove real artists from society.
Good point@
Great conversation! Appreciate everything you touched on.
I almost never paint along, but I enjoy watching lives from time to time. As time goes by, I have learned a lot, and a lot of the content seems repettitive, I have learned I enjoy artist vlogs like sat chat or a week of artist life from Sany Hester and Winter studio the most. I also like podcasts in certain art topics. I like to listen about creativity and art, art history, etc.
I get that. I know my videos cover similar topics and techniques and can get repetitive.
Great podcast. I listen on Spotify to avoid ads, then comment on here. Only because I don't know how to comment on that platform. The worst examples of AI are Siri and Alexa!! Lol! And that pesky GPS thing. I go stark raving mad when I try to find somewhere using it. Just give me a map on paper!!😂
Thank you both for talking about mental health. You touched on so many issues that we all need to be aware of. Not only for ourselves, but for family and friends. Again, a great 2 hours well spent!!
Thank you!
A big thank you to Lindsay and Cinnamon for a really interesting and informative video. You covered so many areas in regard to the art world including the business aspects! I think Cinnamon sharing her health issues may very well help others with similar problems! Thank you again.🤗❤️
Thank you both for this wonderful chat. It was like sitting visiting catching up with friends. And thank you for acknowledging that not everyone has access to mental health help. Even in the USA. Many are just scraping buy keeping a roof overhead and being food challenged.
So true!
I actually gasped and said "it's The Art Sherpa!" far too loudly! Ha!
😆
Wow, Cinnamon. Welcome to Michigan! AA is a great place to live and Michigan is a beautiful state with our lakes, beaches, winter scenery and activities, and wonderful fellow Michiganders. The AA Art Fair is in July and is a huge draw, if you're interested. Best wishes, and thanks Lindsay for a great interview!
Fascinating conversation!
Thanks 😊
Awesome podcast! Two of my favorite RUclipsrs 🧡
Yay! Thank you!
Welcome to Ann Arbor Connimon! We moved here just after we got married in 1996 based on a magazine article stating it was a great place to raise a family-and it definitely was. Please take care of your health, I had a really good friend with bipolar and it is difficult to manage. All the best!
I love Ann Arbor and worked there for 3 years. I worked for the state highway dept but it was on U of M campus in the middle of the Art Fair. I drove from Jackson Michigan every day.
Small world!
Love you both. Y'all are the first artists I started watching. You are so real and caring about your tutorials. East Tx loves you.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Lindsay and Cinnamon! Great show today! Cinnamon, you got me inspired about my acrylic painting journey! Thank you both!
You are so welcome!
Two of my favorite people in the world
Aww:)
I remember when they first came out and how now so many changes has been made. It is amazing! Totally awesome! My son and daughter in law got married June 2016 and Cinnamon helped me with making the canvas they wanted. I didn't know how to seal it and she was right there. I told her please don't get burned out and leave. She told me I didn't have to worry. She was so right!!! Thanks Cinnamon! Lindsay is great too. I know I have been with her at least 10 years, probably more. She is awesome! She has helped me with so many different things! Thanks Lindsay!!
Thanks 😊
Hullo Lindsay, I do enjoy watching and listening to your interviews/conversations! I do see your training in communication, it is so interesting how education transfers from field to fields! Lindsay? I am guessing that your current video from years past is peaking again, PACE just happened and people are searching this kind of video to watch. You create wonderful videos with so many topics, I imagine that your library has plenty of content that can peak and still teach techniques that never go out of “fashion” I am always saying that if you learn basic skills you can always create a grow and having a good foundation is the best start you can give yourself and anyone who wants to learn how to do anything!
What is PACE?
@@thefrugalcrafter Plein Air Convention and Expo. Steve over at the Mind of Watercolor went this year and has a video up!
I love Cinnamon she is an awesome artist and
teacher ❤❤❤
She is!
@thefrugalcrafter love your hair Lyndsay 😍
OMG blessed to see my two favorite creators together which gives me the opportunity to voice this praise you to are the only two creators that have grown but not forgotten the little people. We watched you grow and are still able to take part in your tutorials. That you for still providing content for everyone…. Sherpa you lessons mini books etc awesome , Lindsey can’t wait to see your cards coming back around . You two are the best . Thank you I have learned so much from both of you…..
Wow, thank you!
I've paused the video at the point where you're talking about things being recommended to you that is inappropriate. ...I've discovered that after having a conversation with someone on the phone, that things that They are interested will show up on My recommendation page for a few days.
Everything is connected more and more.
So true!
Wow! I enjoyed this podcast. I fell asleep in the middle. I'm not good with long talking. But what I did hear. I thankyou.
Wonderful!
I agree about the kids online
Love❤you guys! 2:02:30
Thanks 😊
The industrial revolution started the process of replacing humans with mass production. but as you said, there are still people making things by hand. I crochet, so far, a machine can't crochet, but it will happen some day. I will still crochet. But if all human wage earning activity will eventually eventually be replaced by machine, what is next for us? 😮
Universal basic income probably.
Ya I don't post any new pics or video on RUclips because of weirdos and because Ai will steal my stuff.
@thefrugalcrafter the links in the show notes for The Art Sherpa don't work. 😢
It's fixed:)
@@thefrugalcrafter awesome!
I’d love to have a channel like you guys but I don’t have the energy! I have fibromyalgia!
Sorry to hear that, keep making art with the energy you have. When you make art your business you have less time for the fun art stuff. Protect your precious creative time and energy:)
@@thefrugalcrafterawe 😊, thanks sweetie 💕
Hello! I have chronic health conditions including fatigue and pain that make everything so difficult but I decided to start a channel anyway! I don't get to upload as often as I'd like to but I'm just seeing it as me building a back catalogue and hopefully recording my progress!
Setting up an art space that suits me makes a big difference! Until recently I'd get exhausted just getting my supplies out! Make everything as easy as possible for yourself and don't put any pressure on with regards to timings or output! Take your time and enjoy it 😊
@@maketime4art Thanks for the advice and encouragement ! I need to work on the work space …lol !😊
I only recently sorted out mine! I have a couple of things to do to finish it and I thought I'd make a video out of that... which means it still hasn't happened cos I've been too tired. I'll get there eventually 😊 just don't push yourself too hard for anything, it's not worth the after effects! I wish you well with lots of good days 😊
So I know you are taking the summer off of Podcasts but….hear me out…Can you and Cinnamon just get together and chat like this about ANYTHING once a week, month, day? I will take it all. Going to comment about the kids, my son begged me to have a channel about 11 years ago when he was 8. He was going to do Lego stuff. I said no but goodness if I let him he probably would have been very successful but probably for the weirdos like you are talking about
😆 cinnamon and I chatted for another 2 hours after we stopped recording! We probably could talk about anything!
Thank you Cinnamon for being so up front with your mental health journey, I have been watching and knowing you are helping others to deal with their own journeys.
