“If something is overwhelming you, just set a limit to it.” Great advice for modern day life. Thank you, Valerie. Your work is beautiful.
Dearest Valerie, you are such a lovely wise young woman!💫💖 I truly wish more young people could tap into your amazing videos. At 70 years of age I'm am thrilled to have found your channel and view each one as nothing less than an incredible treasure! I have become a member today and will be very happy to support you until my dying day.🙏💙 Sending much love and Aloha and a wish and prayer for your life to be blessed and showered with goodness and beauty and comfort and joy!💫💖🌈🌺
Ooooh 🥺🥺🥺❤️!!! Thank you so much Sherelyn! 🙏🏼 I‘m so touched by your words and I feel so happy that these videos mean something to you! 🥲 also thank you so much for becoming a Channelmember! 💐
I wish you all the best and a beautiful Aloha back 🌺☀️ See you in the next video! ❤️
My day is instantly better once you post! You’re my comfort person. I always feel so much better and more inspired to create art after watching your videos! They’re so calming and peaceful, and I love the way you speak about different topics 💗💗
Glad to hear this!❣️ I really enjoy to include all these topics. Painting/ Art is so much more than art supplies and techniques :)
100% agree
me too
Me too

I suffer from severe anxiety. I just came across your videos today and they calm me like nothing else has been able to do in a long time. Not too mention the asmr sounds and aesthetically pleasing video footage. Thank you so much 💙
Just a quick comment: your eye twitching can be caused simply by low magnesium level. It should go back to normal after eating something like nuts or dark chocolate. Much love
My daughter will be in Berlin tomorrow, so I told her about the aquarium. She too is an artist, and decided to visit Germany to look at the architecture of old and new structures. She's in Amsterdam at the moment and has been for 5 days. We are Australian so it's very different there to here.
Thank you again for another beautiful episode Valerie 😊❤️❤️
I am loving your channel!!! Your thoughts are very healthy. “If something overwhelms you, set a limit to it.” That seems such a simple statement but hearing that come from you in the calm manner and relaxed state I get into watching you paint - it changes my life. Simplicity is best. I do not like too many choices for anything either. I prefer to shop in small stores when I go out. I do love taking virtual trips with you !! I’m an introvert by nature and I feel as if I’ve gone out exploring just watching you go to the places you visit. Your art is breath taking. You speak my thoughts about many things and I feel not alone in the way my mind works.
Thank you for this content 💛 I found treasure in your channel
You are not alone dear,cause the way you speak is familier with my thought process much.Every one can be happy in their own way💜
same here
This is so lovely - the music, your art, your wisdom ! Everything about your videos is inspiring ❤
Thank you Mando! 💌
I’m an adult man watching a young young woman painting. I have deep respect and admiration for this lovely artist. I wish I had the talent and wisdom Valerie has. Your videos inspire me to be better.
I'm so glad, that after stressing out about my project that is due, I took a break by watching your video. It's always so lovely to see the effort you put into bettering your art and your videos. Thank you so much for putting this up!
Always happy to hear that my videos relieve some of your stress reha! And thank you too! 🌹
I could listen to you all day. You're so calming, and you make me think a lot. You're essentially philosophical and artistic at the same time. That's my favourite type of entertainment!
🤍🤍🤍
I love it when every day is the same or similar, music, nature, playing guitar, riding my bicycle.
As a Biological Sciences student & artist & ex math tutor, this video feels like a dream!~ Thank you once again, dearest Valerie 💗
its really cool how you show us your real process during de video like talking about your desk and the way you sit. i used to feel frustrated when i had to change or reorganize my work space in the middle of something. like why do people have such organized, clean and objetive desks or spaces while i am always struggling for not having things really clear in my mind BEFORE i start anything on paper. idk thanks for the comfort your videos bring me
Well that was meaningful and special. Thanks Valerie. ❤️ Gotta go and think about life…
😆😆very well said!! haha
i still remember seeing your videos when you had like 2k subscribers, can't believe how far you've come! ❤️
I see you as a mentor in my art journey ✨ Your videos are great motivation for me to study hard + keep using the right side of my brain. When I felt burnt out in examination month I watch your videos they help me keep going.... p.s. I ranked first in my entire school 💫 Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Ahh good job!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I‘m proud of you 🌱🐬☀️
@@valerielin I watch your videos on repeat when I want to focus 🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for replying 🐋🐋
Her words are so motivating I came back and rewatch her videos multiples time. Sometimes it's just for the company
It amazes me how much your current videos reflect my life... Starting from mindlessly scrolling my phone, being alone and now this one about loop. Thank you so much for the content and inspiration ❤
Tip: When removing the masking tape, heat it up gently with a hair drier, whilst pulling it off, it helps to melt the glue and makes it easier to remove. (apparently!). :)
"if something is overwhelming you, just set a limit to it"
I've been feeling overwhelmed by everything lately; even in a relationship that's healthy. I'm happy that the algorithm somehow brought me here. Thanks a lot for making this video, it lifted something that has been blocking me for a while.
لما بكون حزينه / يأست من الحياه، و اشوف فيديوهاتك بحس اني روحي بتبدأ ترجعلي ، مكنتش اعرف ليه بحب اتفرج عليكي اوي كده ،بس بدأت افهم انك شبهي ، شبهي بشكل مميز بحس بكل كلمه بتقوليها كأني اللي بقولها لنفسي
كلامك و كل حاجه بتعمليها بتخليني مبسوطه ، كأنك بلسم بتخلي حياتي افضل 🥰💞💞💞
Dear Valerie,
I think i hit the hardest point in my life. Struggling with my relationship, and struggling with myself even more. No motivation to do anything, no interest in anything. I got sick of watching youtube, listening to music, laying in bed, but i couldn't get myself to do anything else...I just wanted to disappear. I felt so much pain - I couldn't figure out who i was and I still truly can't... I came across one of your videos and found comfort instantly. Your content is different than anything else I've ever seen - it just sparks with peace and good energy. I binge watched some of your videos, felt so nice, then got to doing some stuff. I never usually comment on videos, but i need to thank you, dearest Valerie. Never stop doing what you do. You are very wise, talented and inspiring. And i believe you put me on the right path, i will try my best to pull myself out of this. Best wishes, you angel 💓
God, I love you, your video and the joy it brings to me. The intellect and brilliance in your narration. My number 1 , and I just discovered you
Mejoras mi día cuando publicas un nuevo vídeo, tu canal me hace sentir a salvo y feliz. Aprecio tu contenido, gracias y cuídate querida ❤
I was on the verge of a mental & physical breakdown thanks to consecutive super hectic 12 hr work weeks and last night i was like ‘I shouldn’t scroll youtube after staring at laptop for 12 hrs straight’ but i did and somehow stumbled upon your previous video which i watched half of and half today morning and i feel so better and inspired to break the loop and take time off even if for 10 mins to just sit. Much love ❤️
This channel is so comforting. Thank you for sharing your gift
Valerie, thanks for this video. Another life lesson based on your experiences. You are the complete package! Beginning with your voice, the music, your art and all your guidance is amazing! Your painting is fantastic. A couple of weeks ago, I went to a park about 15 minutes from where I live. They have a pond and this year they had over one hundred Koi fish. It was amazing to see all fish from big to small and the sun reflecting the pond was breathtaking. As soon as I got back home, I did a small painting. Very rewarding experience. I congratulate you on all your effort and determination to make your life easier. A suggestion for your eyes, use the 20-20-20 rule this will allow you to rest your eyes and feel better. You are doing great and your inspiration is contagious! Much love and blessings for each day. Take care and be safe.
Hey Valerie,
this is a masterpiece :)
Honestly, I’m into aquarelle lately and I love your style and talent, but not only in painting. The calming background music not being too loud, your wonderful voice, the super motivating things you talk about, how you help everyone to open up and experience new fields (like the fractals), the impressions we get of Berlin… just everything.
I am worried though you are overworking yourself, and I know that too well, especially this twitching eye thing. Please take care of yourself and time off when you need it. I love how you don’t only show the super bright side, but be nice to yourself too, please. And I don’t mean that kind of “I’ll have a great breakfast” nice, I mean the “okay, I still don’t care as much as I want to, and I hate it but I admit that”, the “I let myself down - in whatever way - and now I will stand up for myself and allow myself to be human” nice.
I’m not sure if this is relevant to you, but I got the impression we have a lot in common concerning our working attitude… I really hope you have many many happy moments in your life right now :)
Love you, please love yourself as much as we do - and take exquisite care of yourself ❤️
felt trap in the loop and suddenly found ur video again...:)thank you Valerie..
Your paintings have a seperate fan base. They are sooo beautiful. ❤
Your videos are so calming to me. It helps me think about taking my time to think to do things one at a time, dont rush through things, be happy for what im doing now and while im doing things dont stress about having to do anything else.
I miss you so much don't deprive us of this creativity I think I watched your videos more than 15 times🥺💗
Hey! Thank you as always.. this video was too something that hit me directly in my heart ( in a positive way😅).
Being a person who loves maths and arts(drawing and painting) , it felt so good to hear someone I look up at talk about both of these things..
Also, when you said, " you don't have to agree on everything you hear or read" made me feel lot better.. It was just that I've never hear anyone say this and when I used to hear my classmates talk about a books and make it look like they agree on all the things written there and it's so good that everyone should while on the other hand I would not used to make me feel quite alienated but just a simple statement in this video made me feel 'it's ok' to not agree..on things. Thanks!
Lots of love❤
Bye bye🌸❤
Glad these words could comfort youu! Take care💗
The art of the Sea is the greatest inspiration! 🧜♀️🐙🐠🐬💕
I feel blessed every time you post a new vídeo, thanks🙏
I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me).
I’ve had to overhaul how I approach studying, working out and taking care of my brain (journaling) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my studying, exercise and journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT.
Because historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up, and its crazy how when I get into a slump im better prepared to get out of it.
This is my third video Iv watched on your channel.. the first video half way through I put my phone down, i never put my phone down .. when the video ended I wanted more .. so I watch another and I’m not sure if you are a therapist or a hypnotist but I was mesmerized. The art, your voice, the music, the editing, the talk about depression, happiness and loneliness it all works together! you bring me a sense of peace that is very calming. Thank you so much ❤️
i was getting frustrated with my designs, your video helped me clear up my mind a lot and gave me a safe space to think. thank you valerie
Happy I could help :) !
I am in love with your videos, Valerie! I find them comforting, inspiring, and - oh! - so profound! They are like a good old friend that shows something new and unexpected about life every time we meet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being you and showing up in my world on the other side of the planet!
I too needed some inspiration and just went to the aquarium a few days ago. I took so many pics that I didn’t even know where to start as well! I must have come home with an additional 1500 pics!
A tip for you twitching eyes - I had the same problem and have been told by a doctor that it is usually a sign of magnesium deficiency. It stopped soon after a started taking magnesium daily. Maby you could try it too.
You are such a breath of fresh air and I’m so happy I found you xx
Wonderful studies. It looks liquid, wild, abstract. At the same time peaceful and lively. The simplified shapes make the pictures look lively. Like a look under water with open eyes. It's always amazing what you discover outside your comfort zone. Thanks Valerie 🌸
I feel this so so deep connection to you even though we have never met and ive only seen 4 of your videos. The way you talk , how you move the things u think about your energy your jokes. I wish i can meet someone like you sometime in my lifetime.
To keep colors vibrant I use 2 pots of water. One to remove the majority of the paint and the other to clean any residue. Makes for a cleaner brush. (and of course change water often) 😊thanks for your beautiful videos
Valerie, I wanna say a huge THANK YOU for comforting and inspiring videos! l love your works and the magickal fusion of your creativity and wisdom!❤
New to this channel and I absolutely love it. Your artwork is amazing. Your voice is so calmly. The quality of the video is beautiful. Love, love, love it💕💕
Your presentation ..lighting, colors, background music, speaking, and your thoughts are all top notch…you are going to go so far in life…you are brilliant….DDC MD [fellow artist for 55 years]…
You are the most magical RUclipsr. 🤍🪞🕊 much love to you!
How beautiful. I love aquariums and have painted different underwater scenes especially once I visited a reef and floated over it in a glass bottomed boat. It was so enchanting with all the different colours, forms, the movements of the little fishes and the play of light through the water, it was a mesmerising and utterly magical world. Thank you for taking me back to these enchanted places and spaces. This was so evocative to me. Also the mathematical formula is very reassuring as it reminds that repetition isn’t boring when it reproduces itself in so many differing ways. Makes one’s daily tasks a little more endurable and embraceable. Blessings always to you for your lovely, dreamy content and gentle wisdom.
awwwee those fishies are the cutest things eva!!❤🎉Love your aesthetics, Valerie! it's great to see you try something beyond portraits.
100% inspired 🤍🤍🤍🤍 loved the seas vibe, finding Nemo is magical, I think it was the first movie I've ever watched (and remembered) and whenever I see videos of the seas I get so surprised of how they did exactly the same in the animation
This is a masterpiece. Your video quality keeps getting better and more impressive. It feels like watching a movie. Please never stop doing this 😍 I really enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for your immense hard work that you put into each of your videos 🤍
For some reason, i find it really amusing how you end up with such loose, impressionistic pieces despite painting so carefully. Everything about this video is very soothing; it felt like I was watching a documentary. Subscribed!
Really don't know how you are getting this much knowledge but you have an extraordinary intelligence . The way you speak ,the way you convey complex message in a simple way it makes me overwhelmed . And I am inspired by you ❤❤
Valerie, I'm very impressed with this video of yours. The beauty of the underwater panorama is very rich in inspiration and you can pour it into your painting. You are very intelligent both in your visual expressions and in your words. This is amazing to me. I'm very inspired to continue painting and prepare some of my youtube-short videos. Your feedback will be very valuable to me. Thank you very much Valerie.
Yes, Valerie, for the masking fluid, the best is to use an old brush and soap it… the other option I found useful, are the silicone tips, they are like like brushes but instead of the hairs of the brush, they have silicone tips, those I bought at the art store were big and more expensive… but I found that my mom, who’s a dentist use them in her practice and bought some useful packs with smaller nicer tips that like with masking fluid in watercolors and also found them useful for dry pastels as a tiny sfumino… 😊 The other thing is a molotow pen or there is one with a needle point, it’s tricky to use it anyway but brush free for finer details, hope it helps ❤
I love this video! Not only beautiful to listen to, but visually and spiritually brilliant. Thank you for this pleasure!
*healing inside while watching* 🌱🌿☘️🦋
I love watching you paint with gouache and watercolor, these turned out so pretty! Your gouache technique opened a door for me a few months ago as I was struggling to follow a different approach. I'm really enjoying it now. For eye twitching, it could be a magnesium deficiency, foods that can help: spinach, pumpkin seeds, almonds, avocado, figs, chocolate, and bananas. Thanks for making another lovely video!
Hi Valerie I enjoy staying with things until I'm bored. Rest and change around similar to you. I'm finally learning water colors. I continue move abouts like all artists and continue to enjoy. One choice at a time. I enjoy you you're inspiring.
i had your same symptoms when it came to eyes getting tired and stuff. so I went to an eye doctor and told me that usually when your eye twitches it means that your eyesight is getting bad. he prescribed me new glasses with anti blue light and some eye drops and I felt so much better ❤️ Take care of your body please ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Você é muito talentosa,admiro a sua arte.Todo o seu processo cuidadoso é muito inspirador.Parabéns.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
So soothing and inspiring. I love watching your process and hearing your thoughts about it. 😊
At this point, I'm believing that you're my guardian angel. Whenever I need directions or start over something. I find your videos. I've just been traveling to my grandparent's home and while it is not bad, I felt mentally emotionally drained but their constantly saying that I need to do amazing, be the best; while IRL I struggle with my looped everyday routine and I am in fact unable to change it. Most of the time I laze around the whole day because I don't want to get into the same routine. But I have my high school final exams coming and they are very important for me. Thank you so much for making another video!!! I'll get right into watching it.
Hope you're doing well Valerie
Happy this video could help you! Take care of yourself too! ☀️
Oh valerin u are such a beautiful soul .. your videos and your words inspire me .. thank u .. have a nice day 😊 💛 ✨
I feel better watching your videos and listening to you. ♥️ thank you for existing.
Great to see your pushing your comfort levels, as always you’re so inspiring. Good work.
I enjoy your videos your art work is always so beautiful, it is a peaceable video and I feel calm when I listen to your voice . Thank u for sharing .
Merci Valérie. C'est tellent beau et inspirant.
Your natural ASMR rocks me
Liebe Valerie ! Du bist so inspirierend und deine Kunst wärmt das Herz! Danke für deine videos
Danke liebe Lica und vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung! Wärmende Grüße ☀️❤️
Good to see you have a great sponsor which i use for my watercolor painting. You should supported! 🌸🤗🌿
Dear Valerie, you are such a lovely human being. I am quite happy to have found your channel and you inspire me to delve into my artistic side. I really enjoy listening to your musings in the videos. Thank you for being there. Anna
Love this and makes me want to draw some sea themed things on my channel 🌊 love this video and love the vibe 💕
Your video calm me as always, it's like stopping time for a while and taking a breathe
Another free source of books is Project Gutenberg. I think they were the first group to start mass scanning works in the public domain, as far back as 1971.
You're level of introspection is extremely attractive. I aspire to be this kind to myself!
I feel better everytime I watch you painting and talking about different things ❤
Hi, I think it would be good for your eyes to put the table perpendicular to the window, it's more ergonomic and you won't hurt your eyes. I hope that works.
I love what you do, thanks for sharing it with us. :D
valerie, you do not know how much your content makes me feel an artist, instantly born in me a desire to paint! you inspire me a lot, keep doing this and i'm here to appreciate it
Marcus Aurelius is one of my references for Existence. 📖I like his "Meditations" a lot. 🌺
Magnesium really helps with twitches! My grandma taught me that and I’ve found that it does help ^^
I usually use the masking fluid with soft clay tools. You can remove the masking so easily from it and spread the medium on paper 😊 I really love your videos, these are relaxing and peaceful 🥰🥰 Have a great sunday ^^
Se você bebe café, pegue o pó do café usado, misture com água e regue suas plantas. Repita esse processo uma vez por semana ou a cada 15 dias. É uma dica da vovó, mas funciona muito bem. Nunca mais você terá problemas com plantas. Obrigado pelas legendas em português! ❤
Either you have the most wise & loving parents, and/or you are an artistic savant! Truly enjoyed your commentary, watching you work, and thoughtful suggestions. Just retired TODAY, am 66 and listening to you was incredibly motivational😘 thk you!!
Your videos give me inspiration to create. I was too lazy to get up from my bed but now I genuinely want to create something. You really give me the energy 💪😄 Love you 🤍
Ah hope you got out of your bed! 🐬love back!❣️
I personally have been in a bad loop lately so I would like to thank you for the motivation. I have finally reached the last two pages of my sketch book. I’m exited to pick out a new one!
Wow Valerie!!! Just wow….. I so enjoy the time I spend with you.
I love the way you speak on different topics, it inspires me very much. Your videos are great for helping me find art
Hi Valerie...so happy to see your vlog 💜 Ok so for eyes...try soaking cold rose water in cotton pads and placing them on your eyes and maybe on temples and leave it there for 10mns! Its magic :)
100% agree - when something is happening over and over again...its a sign that we need to learn something from it and get out of that pattern! My most recent learning!
Thank you and have a mindful and happy days ahead...till I see you again! 🍀
We are attracted to routine because it is familiar and also feels safe but then we feel stuck in a loop. Try to do unexpected new things everyday to break free
Hi Valerie, relatively new to your channel. I’m enjoying your work and love your presentation and narration as you work. You have a wonderful youthful approach to life. Keep it up. Donating.
Regarding your eyes (whether this has been suggested), there are over-the-counter eye drops that soothe and relieve dryness in the eyes. These might help with your eye comfort. Better yet, if you can, go to an eye doctor or even your local eyeglass store and have your eye pressure checked to make certain that your pressures are in a good range. This has nothing to do with the comfort of your eyes or dryness, just a check to make sure your don’t have glaucoma (high pressure) which then needs prescription eye drops from an eye doctor.
I am so glad to find your channel, I love watching your videos, they make me more relax and inspired to paint. I also like your paintings. Thank you for your time !!
I am so grateful for your videos. Each video makes me think about how I want my life to be and motivates me to take action and not only dream of it 🤗.
Thank you, just watching your videos is calming. Beautiful painting and good advice.
I learned SO MANY things...especially about experiencing ease while letting the creation "emerge," about the process of using these materials, about the magic of your (the artist's) encounter with the page. BRAVO on your excellent vlog--it's really got me wanting to get back to my visual art (I'm a writer in Canada). Keep the videos coming. I plan to get a studio set up and be ready!! :) Thank you again.
You make me feel sooooo much better every time i check on you, thank you🤍✨
Your videos are always so therapeutic and relaxing. I really appreciate them and you. As for the eye pain you experienced, it seems like eye strain to me. I wish you all the best!
I learned from this “Jump out of my box” or at least go into another corner and look across. Explore your subjects and materials. I enjoyed this video.
