You’re so right . I have been drawing since the age of 4 . I’m now over 50 years of age . It’s time to show the world what I can do . Gonna start painting and drawing and showing my art. 👏🏼
I needed this pep talk. I quit art college 20 years ago, because I didn't have much support and was constantly told how big of a waste of time and money it was. But now I know I don't even need that degree. I've FINALLY picked up my brushes again, and teaching myself watercolors on my dining room table 🤣 thank you so much for this encouragement, sweet sister. May all of your beautiful dreams manifest this year! ❤
Thank you! I'm 60 years old and just recently started watercolor painting. I dabbled in acrylics but it seemed like it was more technical than heart felt. With watercolor I feel passion. Things make sense! I've been doing watercolor for 3 weeks and have had more joy than I ever thought I could imagine. My prayer is that my talent with watercolor will bless others, bring them joy and peace. My prayer is to honor God through every stroke of my brush. Thank you for joining the RUclips family and many blessings for your channel and family.
I'm Sixty and just beginning the journey and like you, I think about all the years I could have been investing in me. Though instead of regret, I'm embracing the opportunity! Creating lifelong reminders of all that I can do through creative art. Thanks for being here and sharing your journey an the DESIRE to want more for everyone. Creativity is the most incredible adventure. Enjoy yours! Wishing you the very best in 2025! We are all becoming the very best versions of ourselves!🧡✨🧡
I love this so much! I think of all the skills I have now compared to when I was younger. And that makes me think.. everything is happening right when it should!
In highschool my art teacher said I should pursue a carreer in commercials and art. I was to afraid of the deadlines I would have to work with. I thought I would have to come up with commercials on a deadline and I wanted to do my art in my way. My dad was an oil painter so I guess it’s in my dna 😅. I married, had a child and the art had to make place for daily routine and work. Years went by. Then I got to a onestroke paint workshop and went into scrapbooking, when I was living in Utah for only five years (had to go back to my home country. Yes you have someone in Belgium subscribe to your channel 😊). But life went on and work was what filled my days. But that painting keeps me a wake at night. I did knitting, crochet, but no painting. Three years ago I quit my nursing to start a business. Bodycasting and photography on the side. The bodycasting was no succes, but the photography did grow. Unfortunately it has cost me a lot to have a studio rented and I have to step down from it now to become financially healthy again. I am now growing towards the point where I realize I have to go after my gutfeeling of creating, in photography but also in painting and crafting things. My creative ideas are just exploding (so have to keep that in check). Thank you for sharing your journey! I know I am not the only one strugling, but it is nice to hear how someone else is experiencing that creative itch. Unfortunately I did not get any art classes (that would help me with inspiration) and that would have helped me develop my talent. But hey, I start all over and am inspired and encouraged by your video! Thank you!
Thank you for your video!! I totally related. A friend of mine says "you can run away from art as much as you want, but someday it will find you". I'm 4 years away from painting full time - hopefully sooner 🧡
Abby, honestly, what an inspiration. I saw myself in this video. I don't have kids yet, though. But Im 36 and it's been 1 year that I have started to pursuit my art life, having to work a side job to make ends meet (thank God I love my other job) and painting and studying whenever I have the time. I feel 2025 will be even better than last year and I hope to grow little by little each and every step I take. I loved the calm way you talk and your content and art, can't wait to watch more videos from you. It's beautiful to go after what we love, to make the life we want for ourselves and to be kind to people along the way. I hope you and your family have a great year.
Thank you, Abby, for sharing your story of encouragement for artists to follow their dream. I recently retired at 63 and I am now starting to paint again with acrylics. I love your authenticity and your beautiful smile! And thank you to the RUclips algorithm for popping your video into my feed 🙂. As artists - we should never let our creative flame be put out! I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to your future videos.
I needed to hear this message today and it's really settling in right now. Thank you for sharing and dissolving my thoughts of "it feels too late". Instant follower!
this is just my opinion, but I believe that artistic people have a really hard time being confined to one space for a certain amount of hours a day knowing that they have to clock in and be there. It's really difficult. I worked for a long time at a high school in one of the principal's offices as a secretary and I really loved it, I loved the students and the people I worked with. Back in the mail room there was this beautiful painting that I would always stop and look at, I decided to try my hand at watercolor at the age of 55 and I absolutely fall in love with it and I would sit at my desk just dreaming about taking an easel outside and painting what I saw in nature and there came a point when I told my husband that I just couldn't be confined anymore I was starting to feel trapped. I retired early and never regretted my decision! So I wish you well and I'm so glad that I found you!!
Wrote this in my planner - "There are kind, wonderful people waiting for work - just from you!" -Abby K Brown ❤ Thank you for the encouragement and for sharing your story!
I hope more and more people get the courage to pursue their dreams. Feb 2024 I finally took the plunge and became a full time artist. I am so happy I did. So happy you did as well.
You are doing my dream !for the last 4 months ive been re-learning new things like drawing mixed media, painting etc. ive tried many different mediums lately just experimenting and playing artist daily. My drawing is getting better and i havent been able to finish anything big but i started to work smaller and just still experimenting. Anyhoo. Im not working i have a bachelor of fine art degree and im trying to figure out how to make money with art. Youre an inspiration! Thank you!!!
It’s very nice to meet you! I am glad you shared your back story. I look forward to watching more videos. I wish I had the courage to pursue my passion (photography) as a career; you will be an inspiration. 😊
I also work out of a small studio in my home and i'm curious to see how yours is setup. My supplies are currently crammed onto my desk so I definitely need to find a better way to situate the room!
Loved this. All the best to you on your full time journey❣️And here on YT. So thrilled to have “found you” here today. I’m in love with your work. 🥰💙🐴🐇
OMG, I started following you a loooong time ago when I was knitting! 've since had to stop and have embraced painting (since becoming a mother). So cool to see a similar path!
I'm so glad you invested in your dream! You have beautiful art, so inspiring and uniquely magical. Your hard work has paid off and sharing insights like this is and will help others. Bravo and love to you!! I'm currently in that artsy, painty journaling phase that helps me calm and get creative at home, so I'm also thinking about investing in myself and sharing my journey with the world too! Woohoo! Thanks for your encouragement
Thank you so much for all of your kind words!!!!!I know everyone says this but truly if I can so can you! I’m so excited to see where your creative journey takes you!
It’s so interesting and heart warming to hear about your journey. Thank you! Sometimes I think about what we consider “child development” and that maybe it extends throughout life and we keep on growing and developing until we are 90! Maybe you developed what you needed as you grew older and now is the perfect time for you to express your life essence in this way ✨✨😊🌈
Yes I think you’re right! I have lived so many experiences that now really lend themselves to this whole new venture. I’m so grateful for the winding road!
I've been dithering for far longer than I would like to admit about fully embracing my desire to devote myself to painting...I feel like the gods of youtube showed me this video for a reason :).Thank you for sharing your story and reminding me of where my heart is. 🥰
Loved your vlog, i started drawing and painting in 2 lock down , and my art has got so much better ill never be a picasso, but its very therapeutic. Thank you for encouraging others to think like us . Lots off love for 2025. Rhoda from England xxxxx❤
I know the feeling!! I wanted to start oil painting 8 years ago when I first started my art journey but felt intimated and discouraged-also a bit overwhelmed because I thought that 'I' couldn't possibly do that. Well, i decided to make a start last year in March, and I've learned so much about it (and myself) The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now! Great video.
Hi Abby, This was (: suggested on my homepage today and wow I really loved hearing your story. I’m so happy you finally took your leap and it’s paying off ✨. I turned 25 recently and have always wanted to be an full time artist, but similarly yo you I really felt as if that wasn’t possible. This video made me feel like it’s still possible for my dream to come true and it isn’t too late 😭❤. Thanks so much for your encouragement! Wishing you a wonderful 2025 🎉
Welcome to youtube! ❤ 🎉 Happy you are an oil painter..we need them! I do mix media including oil paint but I only have roughly 3.5 years of doing art all together! Maria
It's like we're cut out from the same cloth. I did a whole year of sketching and painting during the period that I had given everything to being a new mom. I needed something for me. Then I set it aside again because I had to be a mom. Now in my 40s, it dawned on me, when will I really give my art wings to fly? Last year, I finally decided. Currently taking steps. 😊
Oh my gosh that’s amazing 🥹 being a mom is the best and I love it so much and now that I’m chasing my passion I feel like I’m going to lead by example! And so will you! Our children will see that we can do both!
This was encouraging! Thank you for sharing your story. My art journey has picked up in just the last two years, but I have not been confident enough to even try to sell my work. I agree it feels scary. After a while, you have canvases and journals of your art and nowhere to hang anything else so why not sell them?
Thanks for sharing your story! Growing up the narrative was always, “if you try to be an artist you will die young and homeless! Do something practical!” Circumstances are different now, especially due to internet, but there was never anything wrong or impractical about art. Glad you found your way and now we get to enjoy your whimsical, imaginative art! Btw- elementary school teacher makes sense. I could see you being good at that for sure. ❤
I absolutely love your paintings! They are all so positive! Can I ask you, Did you go to art school? Would I need to go to art classes to become an artist?
It’s very hard! You’re right! Well for me.. I had to get out of my own way. I kept listening to my inner critic. Ugh. That voice sucks! But one thing that I did to level up.. I started posting my work consistently on Instagram. 3-4 times a week I post something. Anything. Just to keep the momentum of sharing my work. That practice has helped me so much!
I'll be 66 in a couple of weeks. As a child I wanted to be an illustrator but I grew up in a era where you became a nurse or a teacher until you married and started your family. I worked, married and then became a divorced single mother. I worked many years as a psychiatric case worker. I then returned to college and studied studio art and became a mosaicist, while still holding my psych job. I also was a jewelry artist and knitter and taught craft at the high school level. Yes, teaching and all the administration work was NOT for me. I retired at 55 due to some health issues and started writing a fictional series while traveling and living in three different countries. I was sidetracked last year with the desire to write a few childrens books. While looking for illustrators those images of me as a child clearly stating "I'm going to be an artist" resurfaced. I thought why not illustrate my own books? So my goal this year is to do just that while moving to my fourth country. 😉 🎨🖌️🧳
Thank you for this video, was what I needed. I do embroidery and would love to start selling them, .... but don't know where to start..... any advice pleeese? They are soooo time consuming , so feel like I would never be able to price them accordingly....😮
If you want to be a writer, just write. That's why I starr my blog 😊 thank you for sharing your story. This is the second year I work on my blog 🎉 my target I'll start making money from ads this year 😊
again, this is great...but you also have a significant other to cover some of your living expenses? just keeping it real because it's never as simple as 'changed by career to become a full time artist.' many can't afford to...just something to consider.
You’re right. It’s not as simple as that. I’ll go more in depth in another video about how it all works 🥰 since I designed for years I have income coming in from that. So that made the transition do able!
If you add scaffolding above the desk you will have way more storage space for canvas and other light weight large items, then you won't need a larger space.
“ you would not have the desire if you didn’t have the capacity to pursue it” 🥹 Thank you so much for sharing this, I needed to hear it. 🫶🏼✨ I have been wanting to pursue painting (oil) for as long as I can remember (at least a decade but if I’m being honest, probably since my teens), but was always scared and shied away from it and now I’m finally taking the leap. 💕✨

May all of your beautiful dreams manifest this year! ❤
That’s so fantastic! I’m so glad you found your way back to art! I’m sure your soul is singing is happiness!!!
Same story here. Good luck with your dreams, fellow artists 🎨

I decided this year I’m going to pursue my passion, I’m 28 and I’m tired of living up to everyone’s wants and not my own.
I'll be 28 in a couple of days and feel the same, let's get what we want!!!!
I'm Sixty and just beginning the journey and like you, I think about all the years I could have been investing in me. Though instead of regret, I'm embracing the opportunity!
Creating lifelong reminders of all that I can do through creative art. Thanks for being here and sharing your journey an the DESIRE to want more for everyone. Creativity is the most incredible adventure. Enjoy yours!

And you found your way to art as well! Thank goodness!!!! There’s this whole mindset I have around that narrative that I need to share very soon!
hi beautiful! thank you so much for sharing! this is so lovely:')
Awe hi! Thank you for watching 🥰
Your work is enchanting! New sub here!
I absolutely love your paintings! They are all so positive! Can I ask you, Did you go to art school? Would I need to go to art classes to become an artist?
I needed this
What are the biggest ways you’ve leveled up your career? I’m trying my best to make my own opportunities and be proactive but it’s hard out here!
It’s very hard! You’re right! Well for me.. I had to get out of my own way. I kept listening to my inner critic. Ugh. That voice sucks! But one thing that I did to level up.. I started posting my work consistently on Instagram. 3-4 times a week I post something. Anything. Just to keep the momentum of sharing my work. That practice has helped me so much!

Yessss! It’s like a mini vacation from the world
Yes! I think everyone (and especially mums) should be encouraged to have this as basic self care.
If you want to be a writer, just write. That's why I starr my blog 😊 thank you for sharing your story. This is the second year I work on my blog 🎉 my target I'll start making money from ads this year 😊
wow you're so cool!!
THANKS for your encouragement,. Because of allergies etc . . . won't stop the art ___________________________________ 🖋🖊🖌🖍! 👩🎨
Yess! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you, I want to take that step but yah.
Working 9-5 kills me. Im ux/ui/graphic designer. I want to paint every single day. My job gives me SO much stress…
GREAT! Blessings
Thank you! Same to you 🥰🥰😘😘
Give yourself more than one year guys.... a year goes extremely fast... you must work long hours.
Give yourself as long as it takes- give yourself grace to start again and again ❤️
thanks for video
❤️❤️❤️thanks for watching!
again, this is great...but you also have a significant other to cover some of your living expenses? just keeping it real because it's never as simple as 'changed by career to become a full time artist.' many can't afford to...just something to consider.
You’re right. It’s not as simple as that. I’ll go more in depth in another video about how it all works 🥰 since I designed for years I have income coming in from that. So that made the transition do able!
Woohoo
If you add scaffolding above the desk you will have way more storage space for canvas and other light weight large items, then you won't need a larger space.
That’s a great tip! Thank you 🥰🥰
❤
🥰
I draw also
🤩 keep drawing! It’s the best thing ever!
“ you would not have the desire if you didn’t have the capacity to pursue it” 🥹 Thank you so much for sharing this, I needed to hear it. 🫶🏼✨ I have been wanting to pursue painting (oil) for as long as I can remember (at least a decade but if I’m being honest, probably since my teens), but was always scared and shied away from it and now I’m finally taking the leap. 💕✨
Oh my goodness yesssss!!!!! This is going to be your big year for creativity 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
