Living life slowly as an oil painter for over 55 years…you have many wonderful qualities…the world would be so much better if more people were just like you…DDC MD
Many people around me don't understand my need to spend so much time alone and you were able to put all of those feelings and reasons into words. Thank you for the videos you make, you always inspire me to share my own words and art which I never thought I would do before ♡
@@valerielin I too like being by myself...i havent found friends with the Same Values...or much in common Im an ARTIST and PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Retired now but i still paint...and Craft Im older now and im going to spend more time in the Museums the Art World i missed just living life in that past busy world i was in
@@alterego157 See this is where being extremely introverted can become very unhealthy, its so so important to create a balance and not idolise introversion. If you can't create a balance, there is something else going on. It is good if you can, to have time for yourself, for sure, but to make it a constant? all you'll have in your life is suffering when you have to deal in unfamiliar situations as that is what life is, constant change, and the extremely introverted individual will have constant burnouts. If it becomes unhealthy then there is an underlying unresolved issue....which, too many people like to ignore and avoid going to the root of the cause, instead saying how happy and content they are, and how you should follow that path too because you'll be the same. While extreme introversion can bring a feeling of inner peace, you practically can't relate to other people because your needs become extremely paramount, you can become, or appear very apathetic, which then can make you unknowingly very self centred from other peoples perspective because they will be able to read your personality and make their own conclusions.
I absolutely the happiest when I’m alone. I have fantasies about leaving everything and everyone behind. It’s taken me almost 6 decades to accept this about myself. It’s okay to like being alone.
I like how the mood board you created was inspired by (or at least it looked like it was) the Ishtar Gates and the beautiful gold and blue they have. A great example of why we need to experience the world to keep creating art 💙✨
Valerie, I'm in love with your beautiful videos, I watch them a lot of times because they make me feel very happy. I learn a lot of things and your advice is very valuable. Thank you and take good care of yourself.
I'm a big loner. Not always by choice. I was not able to work due to a couple of severe injuries. 2 surgeries. And that was right before covid. I need a lot of alone time, but i definitely got very depressed over covid. I have a lot of famiky and friends with kids or that are older, so I was very isolated. I am now completely comfortable being alone now and got comfortable with the true me. I no longer need the approval of others and now have no problem leaving a situation or a person who does not bring me peace and happiness. I go out a lot on my own and feel no social anxiety. I simply won't put up with anything that doesn't serve me. But not in a selfish way. Just felt like sharing. You are an amazing artist btw. Im.glad your video came up.
Everything just going too fast these days that make me extremely exhauted. But your voice, your videos, as always, calm me down and give me the peaceful feeling. That's why i love you and your videos so much ♡
I've watched all your videos! They are so warm, atmospheric and motivating! Every minute is filled with deep meaning. You are like a good friend accompanying on the creative path, giving very necessary advice, breaking mental block. Thank you for doing so much for us. Watching you, I relax, be inspired and energized! Each of your videos is a new and interesting world! I'm in anticipation, enjoying it, smiling, learning something new! It's priceless, keep filming and we'll support you! ❤️ * Thank you for adding Russian subtitles, I am improving my spoken English because of it!
If you are someone who chose to live in art world, then you will know the power of spending time alone to create something could help you to receive the visuals that you normally don't see when you are in the crowd. *Have a good weekend everyone* 💓
There is nothing like being in a creative headspace and creating, it is like you are in your own little world and feels so peaceful and rejuvenating and invigorating 💕🎨💕🎨
@@flightsandfabrics Very true, art is so therapeutic whether you are good at it or not and also I do not always believe you have to have natural ability to be a good at creating artworks because it is such an expression of individuality. 💗
I love your videos so much. I often feel pushed to change up my life when I watch a lot of RUclipsrs. I have this tendency to compare. But whenever I watch your videos I feel so validated in myself. I feel peaceful and inspired. You are such a talented RUclipsr, please never stop posting these magical videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️
Honestly, your furniture is looking good and suit your room. Even when you painted it blue or turn it back to white, in my eyes it still looking good anyway.😊 Your video can calm me again and again. ♥️ Thank you Valerie. Always waiting for your next video!
"Whenever you surround a figure with a background it also affects the colours of the figure. My intention here is to make the figure glow even more. And with that being said, with what do you let yourself be surrounded?" I had to pause the video, this hit me so deeply.
I was always on the go before Covid. I dreaded spending time alone with myself. Covid taught me to make friends with myself and get to know myself. Now I prefer to be alone and have started so many new and wonderful things.
i went from spending 6 months without my real family, having to make my new friends into my makeshift family, to finally returning home and feeling completely disconnected with old friendships that do not feel deep enough. this video gave me some comfort about it. thank you :)
Your day goes by very gently, I love art Vlogs like this. We are free in a small space where we can think and discover new ideas. Hope to see more of your art videos like this in the future.
Wonderful video Valerie, you are already a real artist. You have your own aesthetics, your philosophy and you manage to inspire people with a smile. I was very happy that a new experience, like masking Fluid, makes you happy. I'm just a small artist but you inspire me to be tall. Thank you
I watched this today while I was drawing in the museum & my day couldn’t get more better, I can relate on to so many things about this video. Creative people all have one thing in common: Loneliness Sometimes it’s a good thing but there are also times that you really wished to spend time with someone who is also doing the thing you love. I am almost everyday in the museum. At first I felt so lonely, bored and a sense of senselessness and hopelessness why I keep on coming back .. but as i visited more often, the more hidden truths & feelings are unleashing day by day, suddenly you see things in a painting that you have never thought before ever existed, you get into the old masters mindset and communicate with them soulfully sometimes, of how they must’ve felt as well isolated in their ateliers. ( like Van Gogh’s story ) We artists are never lonely It’s the Art and the beauty of it that makes it our best friend forever! Being creative reconnects you not just to others, but to yourself .. It’s true that sometimes loneliness is when you miss a Someone or something so much you feel a physical, all-consuming yearning for their/it’s presence. But sometimes it's when you sorely miss your old self and just don't know who you are anymore. Sometimes it's when you feel alienated from yourself, your life or the present moment. When we work through our cutting loneliness by creating art, we suddenly feel reacquainted with ourselves. We remember how we really feel and what we really think and who we really are .. and that’s what makes Art special guys! Thank you for another inspiring video Valerie ,take care!✨
My goodness... I simply cannot believe that I have only now discovered you on RUclips. Valerie, you are enchanting! I am so blown away by your content, your stunning talent, and just your beautiful self. Thank you for existing in this world. (Because even if you never made another piece of art ever again, you'd still be so amazing and a work of art yourself!)
I clicked on this because I have started spending a lot of time alone in the last few years, since before covid even. I just don't feel safe around other people because I don't understand their intentions and communications very well. I forgot that not everything has to be about being extroverted and social and turned up to 10, and that it's okay to just be quiet and alone. Also, I was so happy to see the Babylonian mosaics after years of tutoring ancient history and only seeing still photos.
So refreshing. How unapologetically you do you. Those baby steps making decisions not liking them eager to trying again. So beautiful & relatable of course not less than any meditation technique. Very comforting. Love.
I understand the "feel like you don't belong" part of the video. I'm Hawaiian and when me and my family moved to Virginia it was a 180 degree twist from Hawai'i. People kept staring at me like I was a freak, made me feel like one too. No one understood my culture (and many still don't), one girl even sniffed me and said it was odd because I didn't smell like Spam. I got so depressed that I even contemplated suicide. Then I thought it over and decided not to and to ignore the stares, still made me feel unwelcomed but I turned that feeling into comedy because people never realize I'm Hawaiian at first, think I'm Mexican. I might not be welcomed but knowing I'm from a very interesting race makes me feel empowered.
I also used to be a social butterfly and now I have been a loner for the past five years! Your correct, being alike is a great way to find your inner voice! I discovered just how much I love to write poetry and make asmr healing poetry videos etc! Your art is beautiful! And I agree we are always put between two extremes!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ways. I have become a person who craves solitude and with my 1 cat am reveling in peace. I can feel ok with doing this because of what you have shared and you are right that society frowns on the solitary lifestyle but it brings me so much peace so I can face the world at work and in general.🙏☺️❤️
I watch your videos just like a movie, I really like it. I calm down and have the energy to sit at the desk and finish my unfinished paintings. You inspire me, Thank you, lady. 🤍🦋
It is a first time for me to thank a youtuber/creator that I am following... I would like to thank for your kind words, your mood, your aesthetic, your advices and how you are making people grow. It is always relaxing to listen to you and watch your art being more and more you. You are such a beautiful person, so thank you so much!
You're a princess. Your soul (we see it in your art) is beautiful, you're beautiful, your home is beautiful, and your videos are flawless. Thank you so much for sharing, you inspire me a lot. 💕
This is the second time I watch this videos, I never usually do this but with your videos I can watch them over and over again and always come out of it learning something new. This time specifically, I felt what you said around 14:05 to be very intriguing. « nothing comes in your path that you cannot handle » it reminded me of my mother, teaching me about faith and how god never puts you through more than you are capable of handling. I always felt like I needed to be around people to be happy, and after a while of being alone i see a lot of wisdom in what you’re saying (I would have disagreed back then) but I do see now that being alone does me a lot of good, and I’m on a journey to finding myself and my passions. Thank you so much Valerie for the content that you constantly upload. There is no video out there that makes me feel more at peace and connected with myself then yours ❤️
Hey Assiya, yes I thought the same way but being alone for a while, showed me my true self and now I slowly connect back to meaningful relationships. Glad you feel this way about my content, all the best and a hug from me ❤️
I was having such a worst point of life ,heart full of ache, head full of broken dreams, full of traumatic memories, but today i saw ur video and somehow felt peace ❤️ u just inspired me to start painting again ❤️ accepting life as it is ❤️
Oommmggggggg I was waiting for this video so long....and then i realized the time different between the countries 😫😫😫😫 Omg....idk will you see this or not.... But you just inspired me aloooooot I feel like i found something that i was lost so long ago.. Im just so...happy that i found the best youtube channel finally that can help me to get me through this world.... Thank you sooo much..... Im sooooo thankful honestly
I love walking through museums. it tells us so much about the human civilizations, dynasties and rise and fall, eras that have come to pass. pondering about these majestic things always leave me in awe, at the creations of mankind and stories they hold.
I absolutely love how well it fits the piano/ambient music, getting used to listen trap, lofi beats or non copyrighted music on other vlogs and then hearing new music changes the mood into something more intimate, very gud. Seeing both art and mental health are some of the things that I enjoy the most, excellent videos!
Your channel is so relaxing 😌 I too can’t stand being different people within myself to mold to other people’s personalities. I love being alone. But sometimes I like to socialize but not on a scheduled basis. I always also have to withdraw to myself after a day of socializing to recharge my mind and energy. Thank you for proving to me I’m not insane and unusual. 💓
I watch your videos in the background as I paint or draw, it brings something out of me, it makes me feel like someone else understands me and the path I’m trying to take towards self-growth.
Thanks for this video! I've learned great things from you... Gave me the inspiration I needed to start drawing again. Now it's 4 in the morning and I have 11 new pages of drawings in just one day.
You talked about bullying nd i totally related to it cuz I got bullied in my school by my own classmates for being a little fat......i felt very very sad after coming home but now I'm feeling comforted after ur comfortable nd magical words ✨and u gave information about squarespace that I was trying to know about thanx for all the messages....u are trying ur best in these videos 👏keep going ✨❤️
I found your channel couple of weeks ago and I was impressed with your professional videos and artwork, after watching some of videos specially the one when you visit national gallery, I decided to travel to Berlin, I booked everything in 1hour and flew to berlin, I visited museum island and so many places in city, berlin for me was very peaceful and calm like you and your videos, I also visited hannover and leipzig, unforgettable travel experience in your beautiful country, thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for showing that people can make silly mistakes and that's absolutely normal. And I love how you focus on the topics like social anxiety. At this moment I am having so much problems with my studies and I feel like I am not a fit for this major but my family won't agree with me. Life has become very difficult for me. To be able to breathe just now suffocates me.
Your videos give me so much comfort and peace. I´m also a painter, I am an art teacher but I haven´t painted in a while. Your space and the way you do your job it´s so beautiful, it inspires me to get out of the creative break I am in. Thanks for creating :)
sometimes, when I was a child I felt very alone ( even though I had sisters to play with and stuff like that), but I liked to be alone and do several things; like painting for example, because then I felt at peace with myself, and it's like that until today, but everyone always see this as something negative and said I was isolating myself, but today I understand that this time alone ( with me and for me ) made me grow a lot, and helps me balance emotionally, it may seem strange but we all need some time alone ( with ourselves ). I really loved the video, like all the others it brought me an absurd peace, thank you for that. ( it's a shame that the color didn't look good on the furniture, it's so beautiful ) 💗🇧🇷
Im amazed that such a young lady knows already so much and I just relate so much to everything you say. What a wisdom you have and undoubtedly you are an old soul ! Thank godness with everything happening in this world at the moment when they want to control and manipulate Humanity some young people like you are grounded and aligned . No wonder why you need to be alone ! The world needs more young people like you. God bless you.
YES! I binged all your videos way too fast. When this video popped up in my feed it was like Christmas come early. Your cozy German art vlogs are just part of my life now❤️❤️❤️
Everything I feel feels right in places and the whole world seems warm and safe whenever I watch your videos. Idk why I'm in tears while typing this. Thank you for your time and effort and your kindness and pureness and everything you do and share with us. Thank you,
O.o using your table easel as a place to create a moodboard... uh, that’s genius!! 😳 it's honestly a breath of fresh air to hear your thoughts on this matter... people around me always think it's a bad thing for me to isolate myself, when in reality it's exactly what i need. So grateful for your videos and art 🥰🥰🥰
Always fun and interesting to watch your beautiful videos Valerie . I use to care too much not to say no , because I don't want to hurt anyone. Thank you for your shares.👍
Hi Valerie! So nice to see you again in another super inspirational video. Each one brings, joy, sophistication and much love coming from you. Congratulations for pushing yourself to experimenting with new things. We all learn as we go. In no time you will find things come to you out of nowhere. I strongly believe when you give as you do, you will receive ten times more. Creating while alone is the best medicine for the soul. It allows you to know yourself better and bring out the best. Your creative nature keeps you moving and you are not afraid to experiment with new things. Best wishes and keep the videos coming. Love your art and how you motivate yourself despite your mood. Blessings and take care.
I'm mesmerized by the hard work you put into your content, you can really tell how much you enjoy sharing your experiences and knowledge with us, I'm so glad I found your channel 🤍
I always love your videos because they are so calming and can really help me mellow down and wrap my head around stuff that's not just about art, but also life. I really appreciate your videos and your art is so beautiful, very inspiring to me and my channel 💙💛💙💛
I am Abseloutly in love with how your content and production keeps growing, its so beautiful to watch. I've recently had very little time to do anything other than work, so this video feels like a pleasant break from whatever stress is there. This is so sakath!!
I've been binge watching your videos, they're very soothing and relaxing, and also teaches me a lot while I work or draw. Also I love your accent and they way you speak. Thank you for creating your art and for creating this videos.
Valerie can i just say i appreaciate you and your content so much, whenever i find myself getting lost and having a hard time with knowing how i can speak through my art you are always there for me and im so grateful to be born in a time where i can watch someone as unique as you! Its like watching an art fairytale🥺✨i dont even know if that makes sense but i love you please take lots of care of yourself!!❤❤
Your videos and your life's opinions made my day... Thanks much ❣ Since Corona Politik spread in the world, I'd like live and enjoy my life alone, rather than sitting in the middle of people... For sure, I keep my hobby, drawing & painting... The rainbow of colors make me happy 👍😊 !!
When the wall came down, I traveled with my school to Berlin. I remember visiting this exact museum. It has had a profound effect on my life ever since. Today is the first time I'm seeing it since 1989. 🖤
Wow Thank you. This video is so special, actually it is so important to me & my life as an artist. Thank you for motivating me to take care of my surroundings and get back to create Art again. Thank you. This video is an important resource🙏🏾👑🇿🇦
That was one of the most relaxing videos I have ever watched! Definitely strongly sympathize with wanting/needing to be alone and just exploring yourself and your thoughts.
I find it so calming to listen to you :) you have a very relaxing voice and the way you look at people minds together with your own is refreshing. I love the way you practice self love. Dealing with trauma I know a lot about people personality, the dark, the good, the bad ect as I discovered myself new and all over but listening to you gives me that something I've been missing so thank you for that :) besides I'm from Germany living now in the US since 10 years and seeing home again makes me smile. I subscribed. I used to draw and hope I can find my way back to that one day as well. You probably wont read this since you made this vid a while back but anybody in your life is blessed. Continue to inspire, you have a beautiful soul...Janet
I'm so thankful for finding your video. It was so nurturing. I've felt guilty for minimizing my engagement with others --- but seeing you go through your days with so much joy -- I resonate with it, it liberates me from any worry or guilt of being alone. No one knows the impact they'll have when they create, but you've made a huge difference for me today! Thank you for being here!

I litreally find your videos when i need them the most
I watched this today while I was drawing in the museum & my day couldn’t get more better, I can relate on to so many things about this video.
Creative people all have one thing in common: Loneliness
Sometimes it’s a good thing but there are also times that you really wished to spend time with someone who is also doing the thing you love.
I am almost everyday in the museum.
At first I felt so lonely, bored and a sense of senselessness and hopelessness why I keep on coming back .. but as i visited more often, the more hidden truths & feelings are unleashing day by day, suddenly you see things in a painting that you have never thought before ever existed, you get into the old masters mindset and communicate with them soulfully sometimes, of how they must’ve felt as well isolated in their ateliers.
( like Van Gogh’s story )
We artists are never lonely
It’s the Art and the beauty of it
that makes it our best friend forever!
Being creative reconnects you not just to others, but to yourself ..
It’s true that sometimes loneliness is when you miss a Someone or something so much you feel a physical, all-consuming yearning for their/it’s presence.
But sometimes it's when you sorely miss your old self and just don't know who you are anymore. Sometimes it's when you feel alienated from yourself, your life or the present moment.
When we work through our cutting loneliness by creating art, we suddenly feel reacquainted with ourselves. We remember how we really feel and what we really think and who we really are
.. and that’s what makes Art special guys!

I was rewatching old videos when I get the notification. I love this
I understand the "feel like you don't belong" part of the video. I'm Hawaiian and when me and my family moved to Virginia it was a 180 degree twist from Hawai'i. People kept staring at me like I was a freak, made me feel like one too.

Kinda weird but ok
People can be cruel don't allow the cruel people to make you feel like being cruel even to yourself
You belong to this world. It's racists that are the the unnatural breeds and demons. You belong in this world and don't let anyone knock you down.
God bless you. I’m sorry people were so mean to you. You are loved and you are important. Hawaii is beautiful.
If you told them you are Hawaiian they would have been fascinated/jealous and wanted to hear about life in that paradise
you really soothe me and bring me such comfort and hope. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ways. I have become a person who craves solitude and with my 1 cat am reveling in peace. I can feel ok with doing this because of what you have shared and you are right that society frowns on the solitary lifestyle but it brings me so much peace so I can face the world at work and in general.🙏☺️❤️
I watch your videos just like a movie, I really like it. I calm down and have the energy to sit at the desk and finish my unfinished paintings. You inspire me, Thank you, lady. 🤍🦋
25 minutes of peace and a masterpiece
💆♀️❤️
@@valerielin 🥺❤️❤️ love youuuuuuuuuuuuuu 💞💞💕🥺
No activity is wasted, you learned so many things from that vanity!
I always have needed much alone time and am grateful God always has provided it for me. You have a beautiful talent.
This channel is the most thing that make me so motivated and attached to Art so much, I really want to say thank you 🙏 you inspire and fuel me 💕💕💕
I LOVE your space. The room is cozy with so much life, warmth and personality. It says so much about you.
It is a first time for me to thank a youtuber/creator that I am following... I would like to thank for your kind words, your mood, your aesthetic, your advices and how you are making people grow. It is always relaxing to listen to you and watch your art being more and more you. You are such a beautiful person, so thank you so much!
You're a princess. Your soul (we see it in your art) is beautiful, you're beautiful, your home is beautiful, and your videos are flawless. Thank you so much for sharing, you inspire me a lot. 💕
I love the music you use in the background. It is as beautiful as your filming and compliments it.
This is the second time I watch this videos, I never usually do this but with your videos I can watch them over and over again and always come out of it learning something new. This time specifically, I felt what you said around 14:05 to be very intriguing. « nothing comes in your path that you cannot handle » it reminded me of my mother, teaching me about faith and how god never puts you through more than you are capable of handling. I always felt like I needed to be around people to be happy, and after a while of being alone i see a lot of wisdom in what you’re saying (I would have disagreed back then) but I do see now that being alone does me a lot of good, and I’m on a journey to finding myself and my passions. Thank you so much Valerie for the content that you constantly upload. There is no video out there that makes me feel more at peace and connected with myself then yours ❤️
Hey Assiya, yes I thought the same way but being alone for a while, showed me my true self and now I slowly connect back to meaningful relationships. Glad you feel this way about my content, all the best and a hug from me ❤️
Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Of course! Nothing I love to do more ❤️ :) Thank you Brittany!
i love when the museum has a lot of lights instead of dark. especially natural light
I literally could feel my Cortizone level dropping as I watch this video. Thank you.
did i just binge watched all of your videos, yes... yes i did and they are so relaxing honestly i needed this
I was having such a worst point of life ,heart full of ache, head full of broken dreams, full of traumatic memories, but today i saw ur video and somehow felt peace ❤️ u just inspired me to start painting again ❤️ accepting life as it is ❤️
Not the first but I'm happy I got to see this as it dropped. 🙂
Oommmggggggg
I was waiting for this video so long....and then i realized the time different between the countries 😫😫😫😫
Omg....idk will you see this or not....
But you just inspired me aloooooot
I feel like i found something that i was lost so long ago..
Im just so...happy that i found the best youtube channel finally that can help me to get me through this world....
Thank you sooo much.....
Im sooooo thankful honestly
I love walking through museums. it tells us so much about the human civilizations, dynasties and rise and fall, eras that have come to pass. pondering about these majestic things always leave me in awe, at the creations of mankind and stories they hold.
❤
I absolutely love how well it fits the piano/ambient music, getting used to listen trap, lofi beats or non copyrighted music on other vlogs and then hearing new music changes the mood into something more intimate, very gud. Seeing both art and mental health are some of the things that I enjoy the most, excellent videos!
Your channel is so relaxing 😌 I too can’t stand being different people within myself to mold to other people’s personalities. I love being alone. But sometimes I like to socialize but not on a scheduled basis. I always also have to withdraw to myself after a day of socializing to recharge my mind and energy. Thank you for proving to me I’m not insane and unusual. 💓
What a special treat to watch your video - Every aspect is enjoyable. Thank you 🙏❤️
I watch your videos in the background as I paint or draw, it brings something out of me, it makes me feel like someone else understands me and the path I’m trying to take towards self-growth.
Thanks for this video! I've learned great things from you... Gave me the inspiration I needed to start drawing again. Now it's 4 in the morning and I have 11 new pages of drawings in just one day.
Valerie….these videos are treasures in a sea of noise.🌟
Well said 💖💖💖💖💖
Totally agree
🙏🏼❤️
Valerie, to be such a young person, you have a very wise old soul. Do you know how important your content is for many of us??? Loves
You talked about bullying nd i totally related to it cuz I got bullied in my school by my own classmates for being a little fat......i felt very very sad after coming home but now I'm feeling comforted after ur comfortable nd magical words ✨and u gave information about squarespace that I was trying to know about thanx for all the messages....u are trying ur best in these videos 👏keep going ✨❤️
you know what the best thing about your video is that i keep coming back to them everytime i feel the lack of inspiration your videos are my favorite
You're not only helping me to be a better artist, but a better person too, so thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here. ♥
Not thank you for being here! ❤️
I found your channel couple of weeks ago and I was impressed with your professional videos and artwork, after watching some of videos specially the one when you visit national gallery, I decided to travel to Berlin, I booked everything in 1hour and flew to berlin, I visited museum island and so many places in city, berlin for me was very peaceful and calm like you and your videos, I also visited hannover and leipzig, unforgettable travel experience in your beautiful country, thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for showing that people can make silly mistakes and that's absolutely normal. And I love how you focus on the topics like social anxiety. At this moment I am having so much problems with my studies and I feel like I am not a fit for this major but my family won't agree with me. Life has become very difficult for me. To be able to breathe just now suffocates me.
Your videos give me so much comfort and peace. I´m also a painter, I am an art teacher but I haven´t painted in a while. Your space and the way you do your job it´s so beautiful, it inspires me to get out of the creative break I am in. Thanks for creating :)
You are such a beautiful soul. This is one of the more meaningful videos I have seen in a while. I just subscribed. 😊
sometimes, when I was a child I felt very alone ( even though I had sisters to play with and stuff like that), but I liked to be alone and do several things; like painting for example, because then I felt at peace with myself, and it's like that until today, but everyone always see this as something negative and said I was isolating myself, but today I understand that this time alone ( with me and for me ) made me grow a lot, and helps me balance emotionally, it may seem strange but we all need some time alone ( with ourselves ).
I really loved the video, like all the others it brought me an absurd peace, thank you for that. ( it's a shame that the color didn't look good on the furniture, it's so beautiful ) 💗🇧🇷
Im amazed that such a young lady knows already so much and I just relate so much to everything you say. What a wisdom you have and undoubtedly you are an old soul ! Thank godness with everything happening in this world at the moment when they want to control and manipulate Humanity some young people like you are grounded and aligned . No wonder why you need to be alone ! The world needs more young people like you. God bless you.
YES! I binged all your videos way too fast. When this video popped up in my feed it was like Christmas come early. Your cozy German art vlogs are just part of my life now❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
🥳Here we are, grateful that you uploaded today. It'll make my day ❤ Thank you dear Valerie 😍
Everything I feel feels right in places and the whole world seems warm and safe whenever I watch your videos. Idk why I'm in tears while typing this. Thank you for your time and effort and your kindness and pureness and everything you do and share with us. Thank you,
O.o using your table easel as a place to create a moodboard... uh, that’s genius!! 😳 it's honestly a breath of fresh air to hear your thoughts on this matter... people around me always think it's a bad thing for me to isolate myself, when in reality it's exactly what i need. So grateful for your videos and art 🥰🥰🥰
Always fun and interesting to watch your beautiful videos Valerie . I use to care too much not to say no , because I don't want to hurt anyone. Thank you for your shares.👍
Hi Valerie! So nice to see you again in another super inspirational video. Each one brings, joy, sophistication and much love coming from you. Congratulations for pushing yourself to experimenting with new things. We all learn as we go. In no time you will find things come to you out of nowhere. I strongly believe when you give as you do, you will receive ten times more. Creating while alone is the best medicine for the soul. It allows you to know yourself better and bring out the best. Your creative nature keeps you moving and you are not afraid to experiment with new things. Best wishes and keep the videos coming. Love your art and how you motivate yourself despite your mood. Blessings and take care.
I'm still recovering from having to socialise over easter and this really helped thanks
Your teapot is amazing!
I'm mesmerized by the hard work you put into your content, you can really tell how much you enjoy sharing your experiences and knowledge with us, I'm so glad I found your channel 🤍
Thank you Daniela, I appreciate you!
Thank you for keeping me company
Def a must watch. Much love val.
I always love your videos because they are so calming and can really help me mellow down and wrap my head around stuff that's not just about art, but also life. I really appreciate your videos and your art is so beautiful, very inspiring to me and my channel 💙💛💙💛
True
These videos are just inspiring me to paint more and more! Looking forward to the next one Valerie! ☺️
I am Abseloutly in love with how your content and production keeps growing, its so beautiful to watch. I've recently had very little time to do anything other than work, so this video feels like a pleasant break from whatever stress is there. This is so sakath!!
Thank you Reha! Hope you could rest well 🙏🏼
You are such an inspiration! The table was nice in the blue :P
I dont know how to draw or paint but your videos are my new favourite thing on RUclips right now
I've been binge watching your videos, they're very soothing and relaxing, and also teaches me a lot while I work or draw. Also I love your accent and they way you speak. Thank you for creating your art and for creating this videos.
What a truly beautiful video - thanks for posting. thoroughly enjoyed.
Valerie can i just say i appreaciate you and your content so much, whenever i find myself getting lost and having a hard time with knowing how i can speak through my art you are always there for me and im so grateful to be born in a time where i can watch someone as unique as you! Its like watching an art fairytale🥺✨i dont even know if that makes sense but i love you please take lots of care of yourself!!❤❤
Ohh you are so sweet 🥺 We all can be super unique 🙏🏼 Thank you Seena, take care of yourself too ❤️
Alone! 🙂 painting 🖼🤓 Museum visiting 🧐! Drawing ✍️ 🥸 ! I thought I was going crazy 😜 😅 so ! Happy 😃 I’m not the only one! 😃 👍🏼✌🏼
Your videos and your life's opinions made my day... Thanks much ❣
Since Corona Politik spread in the world, I'd like live and enjoy my life alone, rather than sitting in the middle of people...
For sure, I keep my hobby, drawing & painting... The rainbow of colors make me happy 👍😊 !!
what a beautiful intimate yet deep video Valerie... got me thinking at different levels 😍
When the wall came down, I traveled with my school to Berlin. I remember visiting this exact museum. It has had a profound effect on my life ever since. Today is the first time I'm seeing it since 1989. 🖤
Wow Thank you. This video is so special, actually it is so important to me & my life as an artist. Thank you for motivating me to take care of my surroundings and get back to create Art again. Thank you. This video is an important resource🙏🏾👑🇿🇦
Absolutely love this video. Well said and now I have a book to most definitely read. 💚
Story time🤩🪄👑 yesssss
That was one of the most relaxing videos I have ever watched! Definitely strongly sympathize with wanting/needing to be alone and just exploring yourself and your thoughts.
I find it so calming to listen to you :) you have a very relaxing voice and the way you look at people minds together with your own is refreshing. I love the way you practice self love. Dealing with trauma I know a lot about people personality, the dark, the good, the bad ect as I discovered myself new and all over but listening to you gives me that something I've been missing so thank you for that :) besides I'm from Germany living now in the US since 10 years and seeing home again makes me smile. I subscribed. I used to draw and hope I can find my way back to that one day as well. You probably wont read this since you made this vid a while back but anybody in your life is blessed. Continue to inspire, you have a beautiful soul...Janet
Whenever I see your vids It always calms me and forces me to grab my paint and brushes and start painting LYSM ❤💕💖
Perfect! Love back 💌
I'm so thankful for finding your video. It was so nurturing. I've felt guilty for minimizing my engagement with others --- but seeing you go through your days with so much joy -- I resonate with it, it liberates me from any worry or guilt of being alone. No one knows the impact they'll have when they create, but you've made a huge difference for me today! Thank you for being here!
