Whenever I feel like I'm wasting m supplies I try to say to myself that the only way to waste art supplies is to not use them to make art
For example, making 'bad' art with ink is not a waste, being to scared to use the ink so it dries up is
Alice C-E yes! This is how I’m trying to think now too! I actually “saved” some of my alcohol markers for when I was going to mKe an “epic piece.” Long story short, I recently went back to those markers after a year and they are dried up :( the time to make art is now😆
Im struggling a little with that. And you both got a point here. If the Markers as Fay says, or the ink get dryed up your are losing your opportunity. And if is not something that is wasting away, we can talk about how fast life is... Today you are here, tomorrow (hope i will be :D) you dont know... So make art now, is the only way to not waste your supplies and yourself.
Salutes!
Pd: sorry for my english!
@@arielceleda4897 I have the same problem! So I use cheap supplies to not to be afraid to use them.
Please help! I’ve just spent almost my entire savings on art supply’s and I am TERRIFIED of wasting them. I don’t want to waste ALL of my money that I have spent soooo long working toward.
@@maddybrooker6997 If you don't use your diamonds, they might as well be poop, friend.
Try to get using one of your new things at the time. If you have a big pile of all new, expensive supplies, its so easy to get overwhelmed and intimidated, but remember that you can actually chip away at that pile - just because you bought it all at once, you don't have to start using it all at once!
I take off the first sheet of paper on an expensive block and cut it into about postcard sized sizes, and they make it easier for me to swatch and try small things and get to know that paper and maybe a new paint without investing many hours in a new, finished piece!
I hope you're already going, though!
You can do it!
Breathe, it's just a bad painting, not a bad portfolio. Practice, no one ever started being excellent. Everyone sucks at first. Accept failure, enjoy it and embrace the suck.
Indeed the suck shall be embraced
@@amnashuja8766 Long live the suck Amna
Also think it's worth mentioning that not everyone always make great art. It's not uncommon to have some not-as-good paintings in between some really good ones
"imagine if you were afraid of writing in your own diary"
me: i already am
Yes! Especially those nice once that you bought for those special occasions kinda things. I have a handful of those and I have not written a single word in them. Terrified of messing them up. It's just crazy!
@@TheDaantje1234 That happens to me with every new sketchbook I get. So, what I do is, I pick the first page and just ruin it. Scribbles or just putting my name on it with big letters or something. After that I feel so much freer to use it. Cheers ^^
Hey guys! Super sorry about the weird audio in this one. My computer was having some issues, and I didn't have the mental/emotional stamina to record the voice over again. xD I'll leave time stamps in the video description if you'd like to jump to a specific question! Thanks for being amazing. ♥♥
Happy belated Birthday!
Love ya❤❤❤
Hi. How did you begin painting. Did you study informally?
Dont worry! Your voice is well recorded and the video accomplish outstandingly its points. Thanks for the advices and the sincerity. I wish the best for you, and your lovely family. Im suscribing to your instagram.
Salutes from Argentina!
Well said.
🤍💛💚🧡💙🤎
I learned so much from this video.
I've been trying to post daily on Instagram and I am realizing that I'm not even learning anything anymore, I stopped drawing traditionally because I want to have a consistent art style or a consistent feed. I'm just making myself suffer, without realizing. I forgot what art means. This video is helping me so much, thank you.
Hi Tree, thank you for the oxygen 🙏🌿🌞
The theme of this video is so unique and your approach is really appropriate. I really think that this is why your content has quality and this is what we need in our art community. I adore your videos. The painting is really amazing. And the voiceover is really frank and motivating.
Oh, my kindred soul sister. So much of this resonates with me, so I'll just simply say: I'm here if you ever need an ear to listen. I wish we lived closer, but until we finally cross paths one of these days, just know how much your genuine and kind nature is appreciated by your audience
Awww, thank you very much my friend. :] I also sincerely hope that we can meet up someday! Your kindness and support means a lot to me, as always. :D
I don't normally comment. I find the video very soothing video and appreciate the content :)
Watching this and realizing this is exactly how I’ve been feeling about my art lately, especially b/c I’ve been trying to build a following on Instagram and share my art more actively. As I’ve noticed that, I’ve been actively trying to stray away from using my phone a lot in general, except for looking for inspiration and kind of moving away from less intentional things, as I saw myself starting to compare too much.
Lately I’ve also been trying to find ways to get out of my house, to avoid falling into the trap of being on my phone all day, and I can say it’s definitely been making me feel a bit better even if it still has a rough couple months for me. Going forward I really will try to venture more with supplies to use out of them to the fullest extent I can.
O.k. Here’s the thing- art is subjective. Not one artist (of any type) will ever have 100% approval. It stings when a “hater” gets in the comments but let it go. If you create, you are an artist. If you enjoy your art you are a good artist. Do not carry those “haters” comments around in your “life luggage”. We are so hard on ourselves as it is. I give you so much credit for putting yourself out there to begin with. And you know that all those “perfect “ posts we see everywhere were not perfect from the start. The choice is yours! Carry on! !!!
It was so calming to watch this. I got my cup of tea with me and after this, I just feel so relaxed. Also, the message really inspired me. Thank you for this.
i loved how you said that conquering the fear of making bad art is about shifting your mindset and not getting so good that you never make bad art. that's something i need reminding of from time to time! thanks!
"bad" art is just a stepping stone to feeling great about your work and creating something beyond your previous capabilities! Well said :D
I honestly don't comment on videos very often, but with so much in common with age-wise and family-wise, on top of the fountains of knowledge you spewed that spoke to me personally, I felt like I had to say, you're amazing and thank you for posting this video! Happy belated birthday, I hope you had a great time and you keep going girl, because you're doing amazing things!!
Oh gosh, when I started to say put effort into drawing, I was posting it to social media as soon as I finished it. And after a while, like you said, I was worrying about how many people will comment or like it.
It seemed good at first, but in the long run I made me miserable 😩 I’ve deleted one of my art accounts and now I hardly post and if I do it’s random stuff and I’m happy with that :D
Raven G. Thank you so much for saying this. It’s devastating when ppl don’t like or wow your art . I need to do it just for me!!!
That story about mixing your paints with your kids is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing.
Some concept that worked for me: everytime you start drawing it happens for the first time. Every new piece of art is the first one. So it would be hard to blame yourself for "bad art". Otherwise when you expect that your experience is rich enough to create "good art" and then you fail, your confidence could be ruined.
Your point about worrying about social media and how your work will be received once you post it (even before you've put medium to surface!) resonates with me so much. I've been struggling with this recently and finally decided I need to shift my focus to just creating and improving, rather than what I'm going to post on Instagram and if people will like it. Thanks for the video :)
Your painting style is awsome... It is goals for me and the topic of this video was amazing too 👌🏻 love you from India💕
There are many people out there in the world who will be around you, see your art and consider it beautiful. So chill.
KEEP PAINTING. NEVER STOP. Period. You just gave me a point of view how to teach my students. So thanks. Do your stuff no matter what. Time is short.
I love how the color palette in the painting resembles the colors of the plant :)
That is good advice. Separate the learning of art from the sharing of art. I need to work on that. 👍🏼
I'm so glad I saved this video to watch later.
I just want to say that I really, really adore you. You are like me but just older and more experienced. It sounds odd but when I watch your videos I feel like I come to old friend, or aunt when I'm down. After every video I feel more motivated and like someone patted my head. It's warm. And I remember what brought me to your channel. There was one video that I don't remember at all but i remembered your calm voice and this warm feeling from your channel and just you.
Right now, I am again in my art block time when I want to make art but I can't feel it. And just like you, my mental state really impact on my creativity. And it sucks. I started curing my depression and I feel like when I take medication it also takes the feelings that inspired me to make something.. It's wrong..
I mostly feel irritated by not being able to focus just for 5 minutes to make some art. But it hurts when a peace lacks emotion. So I start to avoid being disappointed with myself. It's weird because it happens every year before summer.
Anyway.. I glad that you make that kind of videos. These word means a lot to me. I'll try to not be so hard on myself. Thank you so much for being here, being yourself and being in this art community.
Edit: I and really love how the painting turned out in the end! Sometimes it happens to me too and it feels so good to make things up.
I love the video, as well as the final painting, you have a very healthy approach when it comes to dealing with negative comments, I wish more people get inspired by that and just take it in and out :D
I really needed to hear this❤️ I have been going through a rough patch in my art and I've been so frustrated with how my Sketchbooks look as well . Sometimes I forget it's a place for me to reflect on my art. Thank you arlee ❤️😔 this is why your my favorite artist and inspiration.
Maybe I do need a break from art for a bit. Especially since it's starting to feel like a chore. Thank you for the words I really appreciated it I really did need to hear these words
I'm relatively new to your channel and making my own art in general, and I just wanted to say how encouraging, relaxing and inspiring this video was. I loved hearing about you letting go and sharing moments with your children. That's something I struggle with but end up really appreciating in the long run, too. Keep up the great work 😊
That's a really good way to look at negative comments. It's a person who's already mad about life just yelling a random mean thing at you because you just happened to be the one standing there, and then they leave and probably go yell another random mean thing at somebody else they don't know. It really has nothing to do with you at all, and it is not a reflection of your talent or your skill level, it's just them needing to be mean to somebody to get negative energy out. Don't take it personally, because it isn't personal, because that person does not know you. ❤️
You have developed so much wisdom. I am more than twice your age, and yet I learn not only about painting and art, but also a good mental head space as a creative. Thank you
This is a big part of why I left acrylic for so long and only just started trying to use it again.
Something about the fact that I can make my watercolors stretch and stretch and streeetch has just made them much more approachable for me.
I really enjoyed this video.
Liked and subscribed.
I love the “I wonder what would happen if...” approach you suggested ☺️
your story about how you got started, and how you were a science major is so similar to mine, I was a science major but then switched to art because it was just more of a passion to me. it was always a career option to me but I chose science over it just to make the people around me proud but I can still do that with the art I create. I can’t wait to become an art teacher and support the kids who have the same passion as I did/do
Thank you, I really needed to hear that part about "wasting" artsupplies since I've been struggling a lot lately with starting paintings cus the fear of wasting my supplies was too big
I loved listening to your responses, and I can relate a lot as well. I enjoy seeing your Instagram posts and stories, but if you need to break away from it I totally understand. It’s hard to create art anymore, I’m always thinking about how others will like it instead of letting my art evolve and improve naturally because I still have a lot to learn. I love the community Instagram can provide, and I’m making a plan to make my experience using the app healthier for me and my creative journey!
Your voice is so soothing. I’ve been looking for videos to help me focus on schoolwork and your videos are perfect because not only does it relax me but it teaches me about art supplies which is awesome. So thank you for all you do.
Hi, thanks so much! I've just picked up a paintbrush again after many years and this was exactly what I needed to hear. I'm painting for me and no-one else, because I enjoy it. I remind myself it's about the journey, and the fun of it, and not the result. Life is too short!
I am so glad I stopped to watch and listen to this video. I feel like I needed to hear everything you shared, and am at a loss as to why anyone would bring negativity into your space. Even if the paintings aren't something that resonate with me, the reason why you create art is the common ground. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability as well as your talent. I have much to learn as I paint, but understand that in life, we are all students. What we gain from others is our own choice. Your pieces are both beautiful! Be blessed!
This video alone has helped me end a month long art block!
I've spent a few years avoiding art because of this fear you are talking about. I spent one year in college for an art related degree that was very bad for my mental health and self worth, especially in regards to art. I'm just now restarting with paint. This video has some amazing advice and I really appreciate you sharing your perspective on the topic.
Haha, I was painting with my new Daniel Smith colours and my 6 yr old niece really wanted to help... I chose to view it as a bonding and teaching moment rather than an annoyance and waste of paint! :) And yes, it's very hard to stop comparing yourself with others on Instagram... often it makes me feel like I should just give up... but then I remind myself that I do it because it makes me happy, not for the approval of others.Thanks for you videos @arleebean :)
This really eased up a lot of the anxiety I've been having with art lately. About being scared to make bad pieces and not use art supplies and being afraid to use them because I'll ruin them. I was trying Gouache yesterday for the first time and the piece turned out horrible. It was ugly. But in the end I started to get the hang of what the consistency felt like because I was determined to learn something from the failure. So I'm glad that you're putting it into words and getting that message out there.
I feel so much in your words, it moved me because I relearn after a long time to appreciate again what I do, with a good reflection near what you're saying in this video. Thank you for your content, I love your channel !!
Greetings from France
I really needed this today, I have a habit of being over critical and starting watercolour has just amplified that since watercolour has its challenges as any other medium I've heard of has, but it's been especially challenging since I'm also doing a charity portfolio for a cosplay group I'm apart of, I've been beating myself up about things not going right for about a week now.
Thank you for letting me just take a breath and sit down, zone out and just create something that may be bad, but is also good since I understand what I was struggling with but slowly understanding and getting better at
I know so many of these feels. I've wrapped my art and self worth and personality up so much in the barbed wire of my past abuse and my current mental and physical illnesses that I struggle to create for myself anymore. But I've had this problem since I was a child. I wish I could approach it as levelheadedly as you describe. One step at a time I guess.
Some of my favorite works are where i've experimented without focusing on the result - you hit the nail on the head about bad art is not only normal it's part of the process its essential to make you better ♡
When I watch you paint I am amazed at how the placement of a single stroke can bring something to life or give it amazing depth. It is wonderful. I am brand new to art (and I do a very childish type of art - doodling), but am transported when I watch your talent create something like this. Thank you so much for sharing. I really loved this painting and the light you were striving for in the face really seemed to be there when I looked at it.
Interesting topics for this video. I saw it cross my feed a couple times, but when I clicked on links before talking about bad art I always regretted it by the end. But I decided to give in and I'm glad I did. My friend forced me to make an Instagram account a couple months back, but so far I have not posted a single post. I am very uncomfortable with people seeing my art and the idea of having people judge it, especially through the internet, gives me anxiety like crazy. So I have decided to keep it for myself and just enjoy other people their work instead.
This is such an important message. Art making needs to be a private experience that we choose to share with others, ESPECIALLY when we are just starting out. I have been painting for over 40 years, I have an art degree and I teach watercolor, and I still make paintings that I don't like, but I learn from them. I'v you aren't allowed to make "bad" art, then you will never be able to make "good" art. You need to be present with the whole experience to grow. That is already very difficult to do in private.
just recently discovered your channel and i am very inspired by you as a person and your approach to art. your words really reach out to me and many others i’m glad that your content exists, thank you :)
I stopped watching halfway through because your entire talk about making bad art and not being afraid to experiment hit me hard. I've been so frustrated with my art lately but never feel like I have time to sit down and improve. So, I'll be right back but I'm gonna go check out some art techniques I've been meaning to learn. ♥️ Thank you for the kick in the pants!
Such a helpful video, you are so right about pairing the creation of art, something that could be private, pure self expression, with showing it to others. I so have to learn to give myself the space to create, without worrying about judgement. Thanks so much, I relate so much to many of the topics you covered here. Really appreciate it C:
Thanks for sharing! I think dealing with inner critique is really important and we need to pass through our own obstacle.
Your advice for approaching art as an experiment is super helpful! It’s a lot less stressful that way and it gives you a chance to learn new concepts or techniques without expecting everything to be your magnum opus.
I'm not a fan of that "style" of painting, BUT that's awesome. When you zoom in on the eyes, or close up on the mouth, I can really see both your heart and skill in the piece. I think that says more about me than anything else.
I just use Instagram as a way to sorta chronicle my art journey. I do sometimes promote my art channel there but I tend not to even look at the numbers on Instagram at all. Its a convenient place to post my work cuz it auto posts to my Facebook page and Twitter. If people like it, that's really great and feels good, but you're right, sometimes the social aspect can really stunt the artistic expression. Sometimes I just doodle and paint and don't even think about if I'll post it or not. It is truly freeing especially because I feel like i do improve much more that way.
I love your channel because you dont have an annoying loud voice, its very relaxing and your art is beautiful. On a rainy day I like to fall asleep watching your videos
i love how carefree your art is!
i just found you today , coz this is a question i asked my self hundred times when i try to start a painting. i fell in love with the work you did here so the talking thanks the motivation !
Thank u soooooooo much for EVER creating this channel u are an awesome human being
When you said, "it would be silly to worry about writing in a diary because it's personal, noone else needs to see it" (or along those lines)... it really hit home. That's my problem, that's always been my problem. I've got issues on a fundamental level of feeling unacceptable, of needing validation, of not feeling like anything I do is good enough. That includes my diary, that includes my innermost thoughts, and that bleeds outwards.
I don't know how I'm going to process that in terms of using all those things as an opportunity to learn, and to become more at home with myself... but I think it's important for me to have recognised that.
Arleesha, when you said you were 28 (my age!) I was shocked, because you are always coming across as incredibly grounded and wise. Your videos always, always bring me a perspective I never expected. Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful commentaries.
I love what you said about separating the creating of art from the sharing of art.. I’ve fallen into that trap sooo many times and you’re right, making ‘bad Art’ is how we learn and grow .. so you’re video was a great reminder to me and something I will continue to work on! 💜
I am only a few weeks into finding myself in art with painting. Watching your videos has been so extremely helpful just in the thought process of getting up to keep going with it. Thank you so very much for the platform of honesty and vulnerability that you share because it helps me with the honesty and vulnerability I need to allow myself to be open about
This subject is just what I needed . Painting practice is an intimate relationship between me , my mind and my watercolor paper . I’ve got to stop posting on IG or Sketchy seeking validation of every piece I make. I need to paint just for ME!! Thank You!!!!
This inspired me so much. I also work in a library as you have and I'm finishing colledge right know (graduating in History). I found myself in your story when you said you've always drawn but never in a professional and constant way until now. And now, knowing who I am a little more, I want to grow as an artist because that's what I truly love. But I've been struggling with finding a cohesive art style so I could post more efficiently and gain more follows on Instagram, and, to be honest, I was really sad and demotivated with what I was producing. I'm always asking myself "is this good enough for a post?" and I agree with you when you say this is a very unhealthy way to approach your art. I've since stepped back, took a deep breath, and I've been drawing/painting only with the purpose of experimenting, failing and learning. And, damn, that changed the world for me. Every day is a new chance to make a new thing or discovery. And your videos, your honest talks, your sincerity has been so inspiring and has helped me so much, I just wanted to share it you. You make amazing and unique art. Love from Brazil ✨
I love your videos partly because I enjoy seeing your art and partly because I like listening to you talk. There are few artists that can be so open and honest here on RUclips, which is understandable. Thank you for making this video!
I did not realize you were so young! You speak and act in such a mature way. Amazing that you have been painting just 3 years as well. You have great confidence and presence and I hope to someday gain that and I am much older than you. Your art is also interesting, creative, and often beautiful. I don't see your post on Instagram much even though I follow you (but I follow so many artists) I will seek out your post, especially knowing that they may possibly not be there much longer! Thank you for your emotional and intellectual honesty and for sharing yourself and your journey with us. You are a great inspiration to me, and many apparently!
I loved the whole video. Thanks for being real and sharing all those tips 🧡
I always enjoy your content, I really appreciate the realness of both what you talk about and how you paint. Thanks for it all!! :D
Thank you so much. Im so glad to see other mothers growing and painting. I love your attitude and philosophy. I feel it when you said when im not motivated i just dont create or not being in the right mindset.
I'm a BIG believer that you have to accept that you WILL make bad art, and that's part of the process. But it took me a long time to get there, because I used to be obsessive and perfectionist-y when it came to my work. Now? I make the art for the experience, and even if it's not "perfect" or sometimes even finished, as long as I enjoyed it (mostly), and as long as I've learned something from it? Well, then it's good art even if it's "bad."
Your experiments and approach to them are perfect and I love that you're listening to yourself and letting things happen when they should.
I've also been sort of letting go of social media, not because I got stressed out about numbers or anything... Just because it takes me too many spoons to make posts and maintain and like.... Why? Why do I do that to myself? I shouldn't spend all my spoons on something that doesn't really do anything except bring me stress. Ain't nobody got time for that!
That tip taking a picture with your phone is so helpful! I do it with digital all the time but never thought about it for colour! Thank you! ❤️
I love how your style involves “plops” of colour. You’re able to drop the paint down in what seems to be splotches that all grow together and harmonize to create a whole that is at the same time “readable” but also very beautiful. As its happening i cant help but think... “why is she placing those weird blops of clashing colours together?!”... and then as you add more and move around the painting a cohesion occurs that creates peace between all of the seemingly disparate parts. Thanks so much for sharing your process (both here and on Skillshare), its truly inspiring.
I loved listening to this while painting. Your videos are so soothing and informative and over the years have greatly influenced my art. Much love!
Arleesha, you and your art and your perspective and willingness to share are an absolute gift. Thank you.
This video is very important for me as an artist with social media. Social media can be very toxic and harmful, the culture of numbers, likes and follows is what makes us anxious most of the times.
Take my most sincere thanks, please.
Also to me wasting art supplies is buying them to not use them. That's a real waste.
Thanks for answering my question, too! 🙌 I don't like leafy greens at all either.
As someone who has come back to art later on in life (I'm 38 now but started back 2 years ago) this video really spoke to me. I am trying to be comfortable with not amazing and I feel like I need to worry less about Instagram and just focus on learning and having fun with the mediums I try. Thank you for an awesome video
I loved this video, you answer so many questions for me. I felt so inspired by the end... thanks a lot
Thank u for not pushing art supplies that are not necessary. So many youtube videos are all about how u need to get what they have in order to do a great job like them. It Gets people stuck on painting like them, and therefore people watching their videos cant find their own style.
Am I the only one who just gets super excited and hyped about shadows, colours and values on portraits?? Like, when she added that first, harsh shadow for the nose all I was thinking was "YES! It looks so good omg 😭-"
you are always sound so gentle and nurturing and your voice is so soothing. It's always like a mother talking to a baby ❤️
Love the rambling! And this video is so wholesome and soothing
Arleesha, I can’t get over how beautiful this painting turned out. WOW!! Your answers were so wonderful. I love how graceful and amazing you are. Sending you lots of love!
I really appreciate this video. I've wanted to start drawing for a long time and eventually start painting. I know you've said you've basically got to give yourself room to fail because you have to start somewhere, but I've been feeling so very discouraged about it. lately, I've been avoiding picking things up to practice, and I've lost a lot of the inspiration I originally had - just feeling really overwhelmed and much too hard on myself. I've watched this video several times and find it really reassuring to feel that I'm not alone in this kind of sentiment. I just wanted to say thanks for your videos, and this one in particular.
i just looooove what you did after you spent time alone with it ! i love your style. It gives this calm intense feel i don't know how to explain it. I love art that makes you feel a certain way.
I coach cheerleading, or more specifically tumbling... I find this video to be so helpful as a coach because these are some things that i personally need to keep in account. Not only that but a lot of times my athletes go through another type of block where they get stressed or cant find the motivation. There is a lot of good tips in here that i will not only try to keep in mind for myself but to pass on and teach to my athletes. So thank you for sharing that.
I always love real time painting videos......So as far as I am concerned, never worry about it being too long! Love to see you work on your beautiful paintings
I'm so glad I found your channel. I really enjoyed this video and listening to all the things you had to say. I do art as a hobby and sometimes I feel bad (like there's something wrong with me) when I don't feel like drawing or being creative. I'm actually in one of those slumps right now, and I have to constantly remind myself that if I don't feel like drawing today then that's ok; I have lots of other things to do (like reading, book binding, playing video games, playing with my furr babies, creating something cool out of my son's Lego for him to see when he gets home from school, ect....). I created an insta account for the purpose of posting my art, just to get out of my comfort zone, so when I don't post (or even open the app up) I need to remind myself that I did all that for me and me alone. So if I don't do anything with my account for days, weeks or even a few months; then that's ok.
Ok, rant all over, just wanted to finish up by saying thank you, the messages in this video were just what I needed to start my day off; even if I am months late offer this was posted: hello 2020
Watching this video and reading the comments is making me feel so relief, I have been struggling on my personal life and it has affected my art, so much that just this week I decided to stay away from uploading my art on social media, so this video came into my life just in time ♡
starting my first ever attempt on painting with gouache art (which is very difficult :")) and i am already constantly see my art piece(s) (bcs i scrap my first gouache drawing already bcs i messed it up) that "this is not going well" but seeing ur video... listening it, it encourages me to keep practicing... thank you so much for sharing!
This was such a good Q&A ! I struggled with both the "I don't want to make bad art" and the "I don't want to waste my supplies" mindset, but luckily I have been able to slowly get out of it. I don't care so much about bad art anymore, and I don't try to get stuff to be perfect. I'm still bummed out if something doesn't work out or doesn't come out the way I wanted it too, but overall I don't worry about drawing something that's good. I share my art on instagram, but I've been one of the lucky ones who did not feel pressured by that. I never sit down to draw or paint with the intention to create something that I can post to social media. I only ever look at that after I am done, and even if it is bad I sometimes still share it. I think that's because I share my stuff to show how I've progressed and how much I have improved compared to when I first started posting art to instagram. So yeah, it really is all about how you approach things!
Also, I just noticed you are almost at 100k subscribers! Eeeek! I remember you hitting 50k as if it was only yesterday! YOU GO GIRL
I picked up art again at the same time. I remember writing July 1st 2016 on the first watercolor piece I did.
Thanks for sharing your vulnerable answers!
Love the loose style of painting. Good job.
Love how this piece turned out! 🧡
I loved this video. Watching you paint, the soft background music, your soothing voice, and your thoughts and ideas. It was all wonderful. I especially related to a lot of what you said and some of it is stuff I'm working on myself. Love your channel.
I’m binge watching all your videos these days
I absolutely love you! You're art style, your attitude, everything!
Whenever i feel i´m wasting my supplies or making bad art in any way, ink, watercolor, digital ... i just keep drawing because i say to myself that i´m not drawing for anyone just for myself, art it´s my own personal way to explore my soul and emotions and it´s ok if i´m not good at all that it´s not the point... for me i just draw because i like art i like the feeling of just do it.
I wish that I could think like that!
@@ratherbfishing455 Well it isn´t easy but with a little work everyone could, i guess so... keep trying is just all what i said to myself ^-^
"Art and fear" is amazing book on this topic
Omg I
U loved this video! Thank U for trying acrylic (again) as I love it atm. But I especially appreciated how U talked about being hesitant to create art because you’re a perfectionist and you’re already thinking about posting it....
That’s been me lately! Thank u for sharing
