- Yes, I really destroy an Oil painting. I want to show you that letting go can be a relieve and is sometimes necessary. What is holding you back to evolve as an Artist or Human Being? This time it will be about why letting go is so important, learn to move on to become more skilled and confident at whatever you do! I want to show you an example with this cozy fairy tale inspired Art Vlog. The example therefore will be an Oil painting. I hired a voice actor too this time 🥰
All the videos are filmed and edited by myself.

Omg that opening with the narrator's voice was sooooo good
I find you to be soulful and I believe we just have to find what inspires us to get into what we are painting to form our feelings
he sounds like the narrator in animal documentary channel
Yes it’s so genius
@@weoniq Yeah they do sound alike but on cat marina he sounds much younger than this mister ehehe...
@@weoniq well thanks for this sleepcast is so cute and relaxing, just what I needed
This channel is a masterpiece itself. Your eye for detail, refined taste and vision and how you convey it, how you execute it, the effort you put is beyond. Very aesthetically and visually pleasing, your channel and personality draw me in. I love how you are completely comfortable with yourself and your audience, how you feel free to express and expose yourself and your vulnerability as a human being and as an artist. This channel is super cozy indeed and feels like a safe space where you can get a dose of peace and inspiration.
@Lisabëth Rosemõon Magical Drawings hey your comment is so comforting, and i know that is ironic but i just know that you are so destined for the greatest things, thanks for puttting this out there. i am sure good things and only good things will come to you, and one day when you do open up your oracle, i will be so happy to see you shine and glow, standing by you always beautiful
YES
Yes it’s an amazing channel. Only the intro to this video blew my mind
i so echo that.
@Lisabëth Rosemõon Magical Drawings same 🤗❤️
I am over 70 and a hobby painter. I see Valerie as a unique person in this time period. We are all rushing , rushing, rushing and preforming. Even I try to keep up with the young! She has a beautiful soul. So much talent and passion. Love this channel. Thank you 🙏 sweet women.
Thank you for your kind words Sandra 🤍
This reminds me of a project I did in school. We had to build cars out of cardboard that we would later ride for physics class. I spent a long time building that thing and then I spent several hours painting a mural on it for decoration. When I took it to class I got a nice reaction from my teachers and classmates and it performed well, but after class some of my classmates began to beat up their cars with the wooden sticks that we had used for the axles of the wheels. It looked really fun. I remember looking down at the car which I had worked so hard on, and being indescive. And then before I knew it, I was beating the thing with a stick as hard as I could. It was like a piñata. All of that beautifully painted cardboard ripped and crumbled under the hot sun and it felt cathartic and amazing. I remember a friend came and helped me and we had a good time. All art ends up being ephemeral sooner or later, and besides, what was I going to do with a large cardboard car sitting in the middle of my house? This way it at least went out with a bang.
Can we all appreciate how she spends HOURES on art and still edits films etc but also has time to respond to our comments
Seeing the painting being destroyed is painful to watch but it offers a valuable lesson in letting go. Focusing on what we can gain from the experience will help us move on and grow. ✨ You are right, "After every low comes a rise." 🌱🧡
She's litterally wasting everything it's not beautiful or anything she is litterally harming the environment and Ur supporting her!? Like PLEASE-
ruclips.net/video/1tQ0y9huubg/видео.html
I absolutely love the narrator. It makes the whole video feel so nostalgic and comforting
This was an important lesson I learned from a friend many years ago. Don’t be afraid to destroy what you have made. I must admit it can take me a long time to destroy. I prefer to keep some as a record of progress. Others I just use in other work. Rather as a base or parts.
i have to say i don't generally watch "vlogs" as i think people glamorize too much their own life. it feels a bit like a reminder of how a social media works, everyone's life is perfect, but mine. however, by this video only, i can see how much you go completely out of this idea! the subject of the video being something so personal makes you look so cool
The production value is as immense as this gurl’s talent! YOU GO GURL!
:`) 🙏🏼
Yass the queeen replied! Gurl I love your small watercolour paintings ! Continue to satisfy my eyes with thy gorgeous paintings!
First of all, I must say that I've just found this channel and it is everything that I need right now. Art has always been in my life, even if I didn't give it its rightful importance and realized how good it made me feel each time I created it. Somehow I never lost this precious feeling towards it. And so, because this channel has art at its core, I couldn't ignore the beauty in it. So thank you, Valerie Lin, you made my day. You know art isn't everything in life, but it might be everything to someone else, and that itself is so inspiring to see. Especially the devotion but also the ups and downs that you go through in your videos. I adore the truthfulness and commitment that you give to them. It makes me feel human too. So I'm grateful Valerie. Truly!
'' Art has always been in my life, even if I didn't give it its rightful importance and realized how good it made me feel each time I created it. Somehow I never lost this precious feeling towards it.'' I really relate to this sentence as well as your comment as a whole. I'm 12 and as far as I can remember, I always loved art and anything creative. I've been drawing since I was 3 or maybe even younger but thats when I gained consciousness. it always been a huge part of me and I was always known as the art kid in my class. even though I never tried to learn more about art and improve until last year, I've realized that back then I was able to throw y art in the trash without a thought and was much more free when drawing. It is one thing I want to learn again and I admire my past self for it. This video made me realize that so thank you Valerie for the video. keep creating y'all.
Höre niemals auf mit diesen Videos! Niemals, hörst du? Niemals! Denn sie helfen mir (und anderen sicher auch) über den stressigen Arbeitsalltag hinweg.
Wie immer schöne Atmosphäre, wundervolle Musik und tolle Bilder.
When you post a video, it's like seeing a friend again 🥰 Thank you for being yourself and inspiring so many people, me included.
Valerie!!!! I loved this!!!! I can’t believe you hired a voice actor! The colors, story and music all came together so nicely! What a great video!👏👏
Thank you Grace! I was so excited to include this narrators voice. It gives the video even more fairy tale and cozy vibes✨
@@valerielin Of course! And yes, I completely agree!! So professional too!🧚♀️
@@valerielin yes absolutely, it works🙌💕
@@valerielin Would you be able to let us know who did the narration? He did such a wonderful job!
I definitely needed to see this. I've been struggling with a painting for days now and I just feel uncomfortable making it and I'm not even excited to work on it. I'm gonna let it go 💕
This is such an important topic, especially for artists. This video made me feel better about trusting my decisions and my feelings towards what I really want to make. Also, whoever narrated this video has such a calming voice, I loved it! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos ^-^
This is a masterpiece and her words really speaks to my heart, so thanks for creating this.
❤️🌱
She is so beautiful looking like a princess holding brushes in such an asthetic room.💗
For a clean palette I recommend using glass. I actually bought a cheap picture frame that already has the glass, put a grey midtone coloured paper underneath. Whenever I need to clean (which is often) I simply scrape it off with a glass cleaner blade. I also bought that for cheap from a hardware store. Very useful! And so satisfying when you are scraping the dried paint off. :)
Bravo Valerie! Appreciate you showing us that we don't have to be precious about every artwork we make and to call it and let go is empowering. Thank you!
Now I know what is missing in my videos- a deep, mature male voice narrating my creative life!! Thanks Valerie, this was fun to listen to and watch.
wow now I have goosebumps from this artsy and inspiring fairytale masterpiece
✨
I admire how in tune you are to yourself,it takes courage to believe and remain true,inspirational,thank you x
I just did that two weeks ago too. I painted something and when I was halfway done I didn’t liked it much so I painted over it but when I finished I didn’t felt that the painting expressed enough. So I covered it with black now to paint something else and I hope this time it will work well 🥲
Hope it turned out the way you wanted it to 💗
It's curious how even a canvas destroying video can look so sweet! You sincerely looked like you were saying goodbye to a friend.
I loved the whole concept of the video, the fact that it doesn't feel right every time.
Thanks for recording stuff like that, it's perfect by itself. Stay safe! We love you
It wasn't sweet at all
Wow Valerie, I loved the touch of the narration for this video, your content is really impactful. 😊 You are so meticulous and detail-oriented in your process that it truly inspires me to keep refining my skills and to get to know myself better as an artist in spite of sometimes just wanting to give in to instant gratification.
This video's caption caught my eye, I was truly surprised. The thing is.....I make traditional and digital art, AND I also always destroy my art after making it. That's why even after all those years, a single drawing of mine cannot be found. I've always found a certain pleasure in seeing my paintings burn (it took weeks of hardwork) but it was never easy for me, it took great bravery. It's almost like strengthening or training your mind. I know it's a bit weird, but it has now become my favourite hobby :) It has also helped me to stay strong and go through some of the most despairing moments of my life.
Thank you Valerie for putting so much effort in both painting and making video...it's worth it cause we love it☺️🥰
I am sooo excited I oove Valerie and her work
I already saw all her videos omg 😆
love how everything is put together. From her artwork, her videos, and of course the lesson of the video..can't wait for more :)
Sad its over! Such a beautiful world you have made for yourself, Valeri 🥰 love your artistic style and flare in everything else. Keep them coming
It feels like the perfect message. Sometimes crying and struggling and being unable to stop and start over due to the fear of beginning a new work. Thank you for creating such an amazing video with such an amazing message.
The music, the ambiance, the narrator, your studio, and the way you work, all feel so magical. Thank you for this; the video uplifted my mood ❤🤗
This is absolutely magical!!!!! I felt giddy the entire time!!!! I love how you edited this video, the male narrator and the entire message behind it! You’re so talented!!!💕
I could not have destroyed a painting I worked so hard in! You are a very wise person! Let go and move on. It takes a lifetime for most people to figure that out AND be able to actually do it! Amazing!
What is beautiful about your work and many artists is that a lot of the people in your paintings look a lot like yourself. I think as an artist this is a natural phenomenon!
I just can’t express how insanely inspiring your way of art and video making is
I messed up my art piece and was held on to trying to make it seem more comfortable and vibey. I wasn't able to let go, until I got your video recommended Valerie! Thankyou so much! 😊♥️♥️
You taught me that sometimes, it's much better to let go!✨
You’re literally so inspiring, I love your content so much and not just the way u film your art, your pure personality truly shines through as well and radiates such good and peaceful vibes.
Your paintings, your perspective, your mindset just inspires me every day ❤️ And of course your lessons in each video just keep me and my inner artist goin🥺
We appreciate you so much Valerie !!
So grateful for all your vids 💕
❤️
I’m soo excited 😆✨💕
I feel that moment. You're right. "Don't be be afraid to lose".
You are such an inspiration Valerie! Thank you for sharing your art, talent, and encouragement!
İ'm so excited. İ am relaxing when I watched your videos
True word's 🍃
The amount of time and effort you put into creating your videos is such an inspiration Valerie. Love your portraits! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Darryl! 🙏🏼
I love this part about her, how she speaks so beautifully and expresses these feelings in her videos which are difficult for people to accept and failure is one of them. Hope you keep on making such contents. Stay safe, stay happy, and keep creating ♥️♥️
I am so inspired by your work. In complete awe of your style of painting, choice of subjects, the emotions and depth you see in them, the way you render that in color and detail. And then the peaceful thoughts you share about your journey. all of it. so beautiful. thank you for sharing!!
This video is a perfection, masterpiece. I love the narration of it, the voiceover, edit, music
I loved it! ♥ From the music, editing, idea, to the main message. It is really hard to forgive yourself and dettach from your work. Not to mettion destroying it!! I learned something new today. It's OK not to like what you do and let go!! Thank you Valerie!!
❣️
this video made me feel so cozy, happy, excited and home at the same time. your editing is beyond belief amazing.
the sensation of a save and comfort place that your videos makes, it's just magical, thanks for this 🤎🤎🤎
wow the narration was such a unique component - beautiful video
CANT WAIT 😍
❤️
You are so original ✨ you are teaching others to accept themselves fully ✨ you are so inspiring 🌻 No drama no pop music your video's are so simple and real. 👍
Happy creating to you too, Valerie.
Loved the concept and the video too.
🍀🌸
I just want to say THANK YOU! I have been dealing with a lot of in life and that has effected me in the worst way possible. I'm trying to recover but couldn't get myself back to painting (I'm a water colourist) But you just hit those notes which are helping me heal as an artist. Thank you so much for existing. And you are a great artist. Lovely work!
Sending you love 🌱❣️
I just found you account and wow…looking through your eyes on how you view things has inspired me to pick a paintbrush after a year of not painting, I have had hard time and just felt like my art was never good enough or I felt no joy in it after a long time, watching this video has shown me that all incredible artists feel this way occasionally. Thank you and I will continue to support you < 3
Exactly we all have ups and downs :) So happy you picked up your brushes after a whole year, omg❣️. Thank you for telling me Kayla. I will continue for sure 🌷
ruclips.net/video/1tQ0y9huubg/видео.html
Your videos are so peaceful. The videos just relaxes my mind, as an artist, I can relate very much. I personally love the content you upload. You deserve more, Valerie! Best of luck, have a nice day!
Everything about this video is likeable.I wish I had a place like this in my house.JEALOUS!!!!!!
That was just beautiful and inspiring!!!! The music, the storytelling, the visuals, the lesson : just wow! I was sad that the video had to end haha. Kiss from France
Thank you Kristina, kiss back from Berlin!
Very surprising and cool use of the voice actor! Lovely video and so honest. If I have a painting that's not going well, I used to get so angry and depressed but now I just allow myself to be annoyed then give myself the pep talk: "What have you learned from the mistakes? It's not the end of the world. The next one might be much better." Often the next one is better, so I've learned that a fail is not a permanent state.
Oh my goodness watching you paint just takes my breathe away, to have this beautiful creative gift. I just adore your drawing and how gentle you create from you soul. I was feeling very sad and so grateful to see you. You have such feeling, I love your art work, so lovely & you. ❤️
Thanks for teaching us the deep universe in painting, the magic power in enriching a person to face life journey.
PRO TIP: Attach wax paper or parchment paper to your pallet using binder clips. That way you won't have to clean it; just throw away the paper.
Captivating story, Valerie. Thank you for sharing . I was surprised by the naration, that's new element :)
Personally, I would have painted over the canvas or unstapled it from stretcher bars if the format is not fitting, but that's just part of me trying to save every bit of art supply. :)
I Love your videos, always happy to see a new one. So much attention to detail. And the storytelling is amazing. Hats off to you, Valerie.
i just got chills from this video. i struggle alot with trying to force myself to create, but this made me realise i shouldn't put that pressure on myself, and that meaning is more important than a good concept/composition. i need to put passion in what i do and not do it for the sake of creating. love your channel valerie!!
It is amazing how you apply gesso to the canvas just laying on the carpet without spilling a drop!
I really can't wait 😍
I love this video and I haven’t even seen it yet. I just now it’s gonna be so cozy and lovely like all of her other videos.❤️✨
Hope you enjoyed it ❣️✨
@@valerielin I really did😌❤️
Valerie!!! Me gustan mucho tus vídeos cuando estás dibujando y pintando!!! Transmitis Paz!!! Muchas Gracias!!!
Wow! This felt like a Fairy Tale. So much beauty in it. Even it has a moral: nothing ever gets destroyed in this Megaverse, it comes and goes in ever expanding consciousness and Beauty! Beautiful!!!!!
I'm SoOooOoo excited ✨😭
✨✨✨
Your art is my dream and the whole video is so therapeutic 😩💗
💕
Usually ten minute videos seem too long, but Valerie makes things so amazing and the things she says are so meaningful that the videos go by so quickly.
By the way Valerie, thank you very much, I've been watching your videos and they've been giving me ideas about the things I couldn't see. You're amazing :3
Watching all your videos over and over again, without skipping the advertisements because that's how much I love your contents ❤️ Happy Easter 2023, everybody
Oh, how I missed this. Sooooo fine! It is a pleasure to watch you painting. The fairytale-voice of the storyteller was just the cherry on the top!
Aw this come just in time, I really need this! 😭 So today I've been painting as usual and my mother said it turns out good but, I don't know.. I just don't feel it right and considering hard whether to keep it or destroy it. The video felt like an answer to me, it's coming handy! Thank you! (P.s: Also, massive love for your videos, artwork and self-reflections though ☺♡)
THIS EDITING IS EVERYTHING and your thoughts on "failing" and learning and starting over are interesting food for thought
When I see you moving in your studio, I feel like I'm in a very beautiful magical atmosphere. I think it's like heaven
I haven't watched it yet and I already feel it's gonna absolutely be worth it. Thank you for sharing yourself in this way, I know you've heard it before but you're such an inspiration
Wow I love this comment you explained everything perfectly, Valerie videos did exactly this to me too 🥺 I’m more in tune with myself
I’m diving and exploring my essence quite often now
@@mei295 I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this and giving it a go-to painting. I've come to understand that if we feel this way, is because we are seeing ourselves in others and vice versa. We're more alike than we think
Hello I was a new member of your family you're painting's are so amazing
I found your channel a few days ago, I recently graduated from college with a science degree and have really been missing the art I used to do when I was younger. Trying again with this mindset that it's okay to fail, and to let go of things you've spent a lot of time on, really connects with me. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video!
All your videos inspire me, Valerie! Oh I love your paintings and the amount of hard work you do to follow your passion! Would love to see how this new painting turns out to be! Best wishes 🍀💫
I always enjoy your videos and learn so much from listening to your voice as you work through the process of creating a new piece of artwork. I also love how you take care of your space, creating a pleasant environment to be in that is visually pleasing. Thank you for all of this.
Kind wisdom. Thank you Valerie.
I really like your vlogs and come back to watch them again and again because they're so calming, giving small but important nuggets of advice in each one. Watching you cleaning your space and then painting such lovely paintings gives me a lot of joy. I also love your trips, especially to the art store. Keep it up!!♥️
Your creations are so magical! This video feels like a warm hug 💖💖💖
always a delight seeing you update
I'm so happy I found your RUclips some weeks ago! I watched all of your videos and can't wait for new ones. Harmony and inspiration is what maybe describes best your videos. I recognise myself a lot 🙌🏽💕
same! I was lately painting random portraits too, failing more than painting. I never paint random things like I can’t, it has to have a personal side or some meaning, thanks for making me realize this again. I love your videos, it has this mysterious, fairytale vibe to it ❤️
You just encouraged me to let go of the painting I'm working on now, or at least try again from the beginning. Thank you for your art, you are my inspiration ❤️❤️
The amount of effort put into every video is just amazing the beauty and meaning behind each video is so unique
Thank God you destroyed it. You learned something today! ❤️
I feel happy cuz I'm constantly trying to get rid of my old books, notebooks, drawing. That means we're growing up and seeing things from a other perspective.
Happy painting 🎨!
I AM OBSESSED!!!!!! THE CREATIVITY, COZYNESS, HARDWORK
Glad I’m not alone. Letting go without feeling attached to anything is freedom.
Failure is not who you are. It is an experience. And learning from your failure makes you a better artist.
Thank you for this reminder.
Beautiful words Hazel, thank you too!
I’m new to this channel and I swear I’m amazed by how u look into the positive sides. This was actually a much needed video for me. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so amazing! It is a movie by itself of your process and the message is very touching and important! Oh my, I’m struck! I followed you for a while but this is the first time I saw your videos and I’m so glad I did.
Just wow. So soothing to watch ur videos. The editing, music, voice overs! I feel like you treat your videos like a serious series and I’m always keen for the next episode and how the main character is doing! 💙
Awesome video Valerie!!! I love that you sketch and think about the composition. Using yourself as a reference is also important! Thank you for showing us that it's ok to start over again. I go through the same emotions, and I walk away from the painting.
