I focus on enjoying the process before I begin and that always gets me exited. The end result is always the cherry on the top :) Happy Painting Chantal
The entire video is a delight ----- so well done When you are painting the hands the backgrounds of green and blues... I actually loved the 3/4s way through background not too blended in.. at 3.56-7 but you are the artist... we are always learning .. I have earmarked a shop and I am thinking about painting again I used to paint when I was 12- 21 in oils .. The Face painting .. your perspective and sketching out is so good not only that but it has great appeal with butterflies in the hair... as I write I am at 8.16 lets see what happens... painting take on their own life they evolve as you paint...the hand is good sometimes hard to get right.. well done .. I also liked it half done with yellow background.. also if we continue and paint enough and perhaps you stumble on a style that you might like... and others might really like.. Do another video If you haven't already
i've definitely let myself down and given up on art a few times (like multiple years long gaps) because i thought finding your style and having a certain 'look' to get an audience was most important. now, i'm 31 and i still have no style but at least i'm at the point where i'm just interested in trying stuff and growing through experiments and practice. great first video, i'm excited to watch your journey !
Honestly I relate very much to your words. I never thought I would take my art seriously, but here we are! My next RUclips video (hopefully posting it tomorrow🤞) is on the topic of art style, I think you’ll agree with what I say 😊
Hi I just found you and subscribed love your channel and to me I loved the yellow phase of the girl. She was sketched on yellow and half painted perfection❤ Art is a poem sometimes. P.s I was trying to figure out how to take full advantage of this awesome, tourist busy, tiny desert 🏜 town joshua tree Ca. That I just moved to and want you know this video inspired me to go for it and open a studio/gallery. Thank you so much for the work you are putting into your channel. ❤❤❤🎨
I’m not sure how you have fit so many truths into so few videos. “Artists wonder how their voices will be heard in the abyss of voices.” “It’s not a masterpiece but it’s important to learn from our mistakes.” I love your honesty and can’t wait to see what else you have to say. Thanks for sharing your voice with us.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey so bravely Chantal! You are so refreshingly real and honest. I wish you all the best on your art journey and thank you for the inspiration. :)
Keep growing as an artist. As a fellow artist making bad art is not bad it teaches you what you're doing wrong. It helps you grow. I think you are head in the right direction!
Hi Chantal! Just discovered your channel and wanted to leave a comment saying how much I admire you for your bravery in following your heart! You're absolutely incredible! Definitely subscribed and can't wait to see more in the future 😄. Sending lots of good vibes from Germany~~ ✨🦋💕
I love watching you work and seeing you evolve as an artist. Your journey is wonderful and your potential is astonishing. I look forward to more videos and your refreshing honesty ❤
Congratulations Chantal on your beautiful studio gallery! and for creating this video and inviting us all on the journey with you! I can relate to so much that you are saying and I'm excited to follow along :) I also took the risk this year of opening up my own studio gallery here in Sweden, so it'll be nice to follow your story. Best wishes!
Oh wow that is so exciting to hear Ellen. Congratulations!!! I am so glad to find another person who is on a similar journey as me💞 please keep me updated on your journey xx
Congrats on opening up your own art studio! Speaking from experience I know it’s not easy & it can be challenging at times, but it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences! Keep going & thanks for sharing your journey with us!
@@chantalleonhardt No way?! Happy 1 year anniversary!! I just hit my 5 year 2 weeks ago and it was so special looking back at old footage and seeing the progress🥹
3rd comment for engagement haha, for portrait paintings, toning your surface with a brown wash or even grey will help SO much. like with painting on the frame, since its brown you can judge values better (which you definitely know already!!!)
Yes, exactly, If the waiting lists in Art Galleries are too long and we needed to wait for 1-2 years for an art exhibit that would only last for a month or two, why not do something about it, be inovative and more creative and start your own Art Studio and help promote art...after all even if it takes long artworks now-a-days become antiques after 20 years and antiques? The older they get, the more expensive they become...art is still the best business in the world where else can you find a business that can turn a blank sheet into worth thousands or even millions of dollars. . .yes the water is great lets dive into it . . . 😊
you are so cool and inspiring! keep on going! btw, did you varnish your oil painting in the end? how long it took for your oils to dry? because i usually find an info that oils should dry around 3-6 months, but also often seeings artist varnish their oil paintings right away
Saw your comment of valeries vid, so cool to find another aussie creative! im in adelaide! will prob try posting some creative vids but who knows. anyway good work :)
That is true! You cannot have money be the focus, you have to be passionate from the beginning and for me the soul and passion always need to speak first 💞
Interesting thoughts Tony. Everyone’s mindset is unique to them developed by how they work best. I’m curious, could you elaborate on how you think I need to ‘sort my mindset’? I think developing the best mindset is taking on and hearing from as many other perspectives, so I’d love to hear yours :)
Jesus is not equal to God, Jesus said that God is greater than him. I invite you to Islam and to worship the one true living God directly without intermediaries. Jesus is not God or the son of God
YOU are right YAHSHUA IS THE HOLY GHOST OR SPIRIT ELOHIM is the word or son YAHWEH IS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. You can not trick the Holy Spirit. NICE TRY THO..
@@davidstar2362 In Islam, the Holy Spirit, the angel Jabar, is a created being. In Islam there is only one God . In Islam, God does not give birth only to be born. In Islam, no one is like God and has no children. God is alone. I invite you to Islam and to worship the one true, living God without an intermediary
Well OUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN disputes that 100% YAHWEH took shape AND FORM right within himself and created ELOHIM THE WORD OR SON. and then ELOHIM WHOM YOU CALLED ALLAH CREATED EVERYTHING ELSE. AND no THE angel Jabar IS NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT OR GHOST Yahshua IS!!! YAH -YAHWEH Shua- SALVATION Yahshua - Yahweh is Salvation, NOT JABAR!!! LET YAHWEH BE TRUE AND LET EVERY MAN BE A LIER INCLUDING YOU!!!@@SamA-xu9gy UNLESS YOU HAD A DIVINE VISION AND REVELATION FROM YAHSHUA you will never understand.....FACTS!!
Wow Chantal completely in awe in what you are creating!! As always my heart is warmed by you. ♥️
Thank you 🙏 💞❤️
Thank you for sharing. I am artist and my dream is to own my own Art Gallery here in Jamaica soon
do it!!! FULL STORY of my art gallery coming soon (hopefully early march)
Chantal, you are a very brave, talented young lady! Congratulations - I love following your journey x
Thank you Jane xx many more exciting things to come 💞💞

Thank you Katie ❤️ yes I’m learning to accept not everything comes as you want it!
also: you’re funny af and i love the non-masterpiece butterfly painting!! it’s super unique and pretty :)
Thank you! My brother said that I wasn’t funny enough guess he’s wrong
I focus on enjoying the process before I begin and that always gets me exited. The end result is always the cherry on the top :) Happy Painting Chantal

Daring to be bad at things is the only way to learn. There's just no skipping the beginner stage.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey so bravely Chantal! You are so refreshingly real and honest. I wish you all the best on your art journey and thank you for the inspiration. :)
Ahhh thank YOU!!! I’m so glad you found inspiration in my work 💞I try to keep it as real as possible!!
Keep growing as an artist. As a fellow artist making bad art is not bad it teaches you what you're doing wrong. It helps you grow. I think you are head in the right direction!
Thank you Albert! Yes you are absolutely right an artist needs to create 100s of ‘bad’ art pieces in order to create a masterpiece!
@@chantalleonhardt No problem excited to see you grow as artist. love your studio space
Beautiful studio and artwork Chantal!! This is such an inspiring journey you're on!

This is my dreammmmm I’m 17 and I started my art business a year ago. I’m starting to make money and I’d love to do this in a year or two 🎉
Your painting is beautiful. I also feel like giving up all the time especially when I feel my works aren't even close to masterpieces.
Every small step is a step in the right direction, I believe in you- we all have the capability to create a masterpiece!
@@chantalleonhardt Thanks so much

Ahhh that’s so cool! Thank you! If you ever venture over the waters to KI you have to come visit ☀️❤️
@@chantalleonhardt for sure! I have zero creative mates haha
We love you❤❤
Love you too 💞
its so so easy to get lost in the comparisons... keep going, drown those thoughts out. it's natural to hit a wall but there's always room for growth!
It is!!! Especially when your skills are not where you want them to be. Much love Razaan let’s go xx
perfectly put...
Self employment is the best employment 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Don't give up eventually you'll get there follow your heart and follow your dreams and most of all trust in God
Thank you thank you ❤️ I am never giving up, God has a plan for me and I’m going to achieve it!
Art comes from the soul. You can't turn it into commerce without losing the soul.
That is true! You cannot have money be the focus, you have to be passionate from the beginning and for me the soul and passion always need to speak first 💞
subbed to support a fellow small youtuber artist! watching these videos make me also wanna produce art related videos!!!
Omg yes. I’d love to see them!
Keep it up you are gonna be big one day
Something I struggle with is the difference between, is my piece in the ugly phase or is it just ugly? 😂
Haha 😂 that’s something I can never figure out until I say the work is finished!
You're beautiful
Work on it you will get it right
Judging by what you said it sounds like you need to sort your mindset. It's okay tho most so called trained professionals have the same problem. :)

Just a tip, your background music drowns out your narration.
