Thank you Linda. This is a really nice video. I had a knee replacement and had supplies all over the place. I'll blame the pain killers to figure out a basket or something might help😅 I'm not a tv watcher so is a nice way to be with Ray and my westie Garvin and be doing art. I love hair on my clothes. I had a Collie😅 My westies white hair is always welcomed. Best to Don. I'm off 6 weeks so totally get the crunch financially. Ugg.... ART NEST
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the video! Sending you lots of healing energy for your knee. I am the same way with watching TV, creating art is a great way for me to hang out with Don while he watches movies in the evening. We had a pair of collies back when we had our small farm. Love collies!
@@BeginnersMind-ArtMind I missed the hair💞 She was such a beautiful girl. Sable. Her name was Talkeetna. We called her Tallie butt. Loved her hind scratched😂
I love painting in my lounge chair too, it’s nice to be able to stay with hubby instead of going into a seperate room, appreciate your video, I just have a few things in a box but what you have got is absolutely amazing, I need to liven my bag up, thank you Linda.
Thanks for watching and letting me know that the video was inspiring for you. It is nice to sit with our sweethearts while we paint in the evenings. 🙏💕
Thank you so much for sharing your art nest with us again. I realized that I have been making art nests my whole life! Partly because I have rarely had any studio space to work in for one reason or another and, later in my life trying to find small things I can do as I work through a lot of depression and pain. You helped to wake something up that I hadn't thought about like you have so I have found some motivation! I hope this will lead me to something bigger but in the mean time I can take small steps. All my best wishes for you and your husband. I live right on the edge right now and there isn't even spare change around for me, but I will send good vibes out to the universe for you both. Cheers!! 💓
Thank you for your prompts and reminders of small movements and joys with artnest. I have one by my bed where I spend most of my time. You help me get out of my thoughts.
I’m so glad to hear that because we all really do need help getting out of our thoughts from time to time. I love that you have an art nest near your bed. Thanks for watching! 💕🪺🎨
I saw this bag in one of your other videos that you linked. Thank you so much I went and got one myself. I’m in Australia and it is absolutely a godsend for when I am travelling. I finally have a bag that can take all the different things I want but is also easier to transport with my chronic pain issue. Also, thank you for the update of your nest. I love the idea of doing this myself.
Your content has been so helpful to me. Just joined patreon. I can't afford much, but I can afford $5. Hope your husband's surgery goes well. I am facing surgery myself in a few weeks - a shoulder replacement. I am most grateful that it isn't on my dominant arm. I am in the process of creating a mobile art nest thanks to your content. I am not sure if I am going to spend more time in the recliner, (which I am rarely in right now) or if my little studio area will suffice. I suspect I will need a spot to put my feet up though. for the first few weeks at least. I am fortunate to live in a single story so I don't have to worry about exhausting climbs up and down the stairs for anything. I would have never thought of creating a little sanctuary for myself if it weren't for you. Thank you!
Good luck with your surgery! I hope it goes well. I am so happy that my videos inspired you to create an art nest. I hope it serves you well during your recovery. Thanks so much for joining my Patreon, and supporting my creative journey.🙏💕
Art Nest! Love your art nest. Praying for Don's surgeries to go well. Also to have a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing that beautiful fall picture from New Hampshire doctors office. ❤
Going to set something up like this for sure. Love how you name it art nest. I was thinking of putting together a few little project kits because I have all sorts of crafts on the go that I can never be bothered setting up because I don’t have a studio space so I’m constantly setting up and having to pack away again. I have also heard it referred to as ‘on ramping’ - making access to your art easy and accessible. Thank you Linda, very inspiring. WIshing you well from New New Zealand. 😊
I’m so glad that viewers are enjoying this art nest video so much! I kept putting it off but kept getting requests. Thanks for the good vibes for both Don and I. The Kachina doll was a gift from Don’s late mother. It’s a Beaver doll, which I believe is for healing. It’s a cherished antique.
I really like the masters studies, I’m fascinated by it. I’ve never really understood the term before. I’d love to do some lessons and learn some more and see more on Patreon. Even here to
I’ve been posting a series of lessons on Patreon. I sent you a few messages about your request to join the private Facebook group. I sent you a link but you haven’t replied to any of the messages. Did you get the link?
Sure, as I mention in my videos you can find items I mention in my Amazon Favorites list. All of the links are in the video description area below my videos. Just click the view more button below the video. I can’t access my Amazon favorites list right at the moment, so I quickly looked on Amazon and I think this is the link to the bag: amzn.to/3Q3I5IV
It depends a lot on the season, the weather, and how much/frequently I have been painting. Here is a good article on the subject: outlinesart.com/articles/acrylics-disposing-of-rinse-water/
Question I thought you had two watercolor sets of pencils in your art nest. Derwent and Fabre Castel. What’s the diffffference in the sets and or maybe difference in purpose. I’m thinking of getting watercolor pencils to sketch with before I paint. Sorry if this is jumbled up question.
The only full set that I have in my art nest is the Faber Castell watercolor pencils. I have a couple of Derwent Inktense pencils, but they are extremely strong, so I don’t think they are what you would be looking for for what you describe.
Question: Can you store liquid gouache (such as the M. Graham or Holbein) in the metal Art Tool Kit Folio case? Does it dry up like the dry water color? Not sure if that's what I am seeing in your video..
I use the small metal Art Toolkit palettes for dry gouache and watercolor. The plastic Transon palette is airtight and I store my wet gouache in there. Because the small metal palettes are not airtight they’re only good for using with dry paints. Thanks for watching!
In other words…everything. I know if I got good and comfy with the tray and all that, I’d suddenly need something just out of reach and then everything falls on the floor😂
These are the things that I put in my art nest and this is the set up that works for me. I just share different variations of my art nest to help encourage other disabled artists to create their own art nest. Everyone needs to create a set up that works well for them. Ideally I’d like to have one of those little bedside tables on wheels that I could just push aside.
I always hear people say that they never dump their paint water out on the ground and that they always bring it back with them. My question is what do they do then to dispose of the water? Do they dump it down the sink? It seems then that dumping it down the sink, if you are on a sewer system, ensures that the contaminants go into the water supply since water from your sink is piped to the water treatment facility and the heavy metals or contaminants will not be removed/filtered out. Water that goes to a water treatment facility is usually discharged into a river or the ocean. The next town downstream may have an intake from the same river. It seems to me that it might be best to actually dump it on site so that it can be absorbed into the ground. What do you think? I am looking for the approach that that has the least impact on humanity and the environment.
Please do not dump your paint water on-site. There’s a lot of information and articles on the web about this subject that can help you make an educated decision.
Under every video in the video description area, there are a lot of links the link to my Amazon favorites list. There are also links to coupon codes where you can get a discount on art products. You just need to click the little link that says “more” below the video. I’ll try to paste a link here, but if that doesn’t work, you can find it under the video. www.amazon.com/finds/post/list/amzn1.ideas.33NKZGF86TTAL
I suffer from depression and anxiety. I'm wanting to start an art nest too. I've been dealing with art block for months. I also recently lost my job as well. I have a autoimmune disease too. Lots going on....any tips for me on how to get started again and stay motivated?
If you join my Patreon you could try doing the exercise we are doing together. If not you can watch my videos on RUclips for suggestions. Perhaps you could watch the one on making a gratitude journal. There are so many videos between my RUclips and Patreon with ideas and suggestions. My biggest advice is to just get started. Just pick up a pencil, a paint brush, or a marker and make marks without worrying about results.
@BeginnersMind-ArtMind thank you. I would definitely try the patreon maybe when a have another job. I've been doing a lot of watching between your channel, sandi hester, lazyredhead and a few others. I just have problems getting started. I like the gratitude journal idea though.
@@meganhardy6983I definitely recommend watching less and creating more. I have lots of videos that talk about how to get started. You really do need to push yourself out of a block at first. It can be challenging, but once you start creating again, your creative flow will return. Don’t worry so much about what you create, just start creating… Anything is better than nothing. I hope that helps!
Thanks so much for asking, that’s very sweet! My Patreon and Buy Me A Coffee links are below the video, in the video description area. I think it’s a better deal to join my Patreon even if it’s just for a month or two, then to just donate to buy me a cup of coffee because at least with Patreon you get access to tons of video content that’s not on RUclips. I also have my Blick and Amazon gift lists below the video. So there are a few different ways. Thanks for asking. 🙏💕
