I love how you tell your stories as you go along. You brought me back to a childhood I had so many years ago... the freedom to explore and create and to just have fun. I love your vision on this life.
I absolutely love this video. Your words as much as the art. My painting and drawing is about unlocking that inner child while outdoors in nature. All my paintings have begun as a playful experiment with no clear direction. I thought I was alone until I saw this. Thank you so much. ❤
“Create for the pure joy of creating”. A mantra for sanity. The advice you give in this video is pure gold. I’m going to save this video for whenever I get bogged down in responsibilities and life in general to remind myself to have fun.
I agree with Lydia - and with everything you said. Just so happens I am bogged down right now and in desperate need of some creative escape, so this message came along at the exact right time. Now I'm off to have fun..😁 Thank you!
Thank you. I am autistic, and I have really struggled to wrap my brain around how to create this kind of background, and the way you show it not only makes it look not overwhelming, which is a huge block for me...but also, I finally get it.
I just found you and realize this is an old video, but, I just didn't know of another place better than here to tell you. I've been an artist since the 60's. I paint in every genre and format other than abstract. I find this strange because I'm also a retired "Faux" painter/artist and what you're creating on canvas, I'm creating throughout my entire home. Watching you makes me wonder why I've never done so on canvas. You young lady have influenced me to do so. Your craft is absolutely wicked and beautiful. I look forward to viewing the rest of your videos.
Lydia, I continue to be one of your biggest fans and your paintings never disappoint, including this one!! I absolutely love all the layers, the depth and watching the process of it developing before our eyes! Your talent truly inspires me to try things that I’ve never had the confidence to try! My goal is to one day be even a fraction of the artist that you are! Beautiful job my friend!! 🤗😍
@@WaterfallAcrylics Somehow I want to say, I found her through you , My friend…so Thank You! She’s amazing! I’m doing well and getting ready for a big show! Missing you ladies very much and hoping you had a great Thanksgiving!! 🤗😘

This is the first painting of yours that I saw. It took my breath away... seance then I could not stop seeing ALL of your gorgious videos. (you are kissed by the gods of inspiration. for sure!) But something brings me back to this one...
I love this art . Its beautiful, mysterious and has a life to it. I found this while I was looking to search my own style. I may have found it . Thanks for the inspiration.
I so totally needed to find you and your awesome videos and art work.... and sense of humor! I have the most horrible Artist block and lost my self confidence ! Your words are exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you soooooooooo much!
Ohhhhhh. If it wasn’t for the fact, I would wake the household, I would start now, because of your inspiration. I am happiest when I paint loosely , and with texture.with a beautiful face emerging as well. Absolutely inspired. Tomorrow the housework can wait. Thank you. Love her.
Comment vous remercier Lydia pour votre générosité de nous montrer votre travail magnifique . Je réalise des portraits au charcoal mais votre démonstration me donne le courage de vaincre mon appréhension de les réaliser sur toile. Encore une fois merci 😍🥰
Holy Cow. How beautiful is that. I do compare myself to you and I obviously still have a long way to go. Your technical ability for facial realism, combines with abstract chaos is mind blowing 😮
I stumbled onto your youtube video today! I am an abstract painter, and have been lost lately for inspiration. Loved your work and it truly inspired me!! You are so real!
I loved hearing your thoughts, you definitely should do more videos like this. If I could buy everything in art that brings me peace & gratitude, I would happily go hungry to be surrounded by them all.
Thanks for an inspiring video and I love your process! My graphic design teacher use to say, 'don't be married to your art piece'; meaning don't be afraid of letting the process of exploration hold you back because you are afraid of messing up. Looking forward to more videos!
I've been watching a lot of abstract art tutorials. This video touched on processes that I needed to hear and that inspired me immediately with no pondering.
If I could paint like one person I think it would be u! I love your rustic color choices and drips and way u take the dark and intermingle it with the light. Love your comedy and thoughts.. u give me endless inspiration and I am hoping to maybe take that freeing step out of caring about the end so much that I loose all the fun of creating. Thanks you are a true soul sister!
Your work is truly inspiring, and now your thoughts added to the leisurely absorption and enjoyment of your videos. I always watch your videos a couple times, and this time was excited to see the face emerging before your started working on it. As an amateur, this felt like a major accomplishment. Thank you so much for sharing your work
Lydia I wasn't a fan of yours, only because I did not know you; I hadn't seen your work, but now!!!!! Here I am. Thank you ever so much for sharing your talent. I absolutely love this painting 🤗☺️
What a spectacular creation - and your words resonate too. I’m sure many of those considered to be the best artists in history also got caught up comparing their work to others at times. But if we try to create something to be compared to others, we never break boundaries & exceed expectations
ABSOLUTELY beautiful! I love your personality and your humor and I agree with you. We all need to just play a little more. Just let go and stop worrying about failing.
Thank you very much for such a beautiful video.After watching your video my mental block for making my new work is clear.you are inspirational with your beautiful style of working which makes mind free.
Just come across this and resonated so much with your commentary and practice. I also work intuitively and it is such an adventure! I think your process and outcomes are truly inspiring so thank you for sharing. have subscribed!
I used to draw people with chicken wings for arms...so, an abstract expressionist at the age of 9 was born😅. I don't know when it happened, but I noticed I started hating everything I did, artistically, creatively, life-wise--it all soured on me. I don't know if I'm kinder to myself now, but it's better than it was. I love your videos, your message, and your artistic voice Lydia 🙂.
I love how you tell your stories as you go along. You brought me back to a childhood I had so many years ago... the freedom to explore and create and to just have fun. I love your vision on this life.
Only a beautiful soul can do this type of art! And it was cray cray that you had concern over your creation- your work is perfection!
I absolutely love this video. Your words as much as the art. My painting and drawing is about unlocking that inner child while outdoors in nature. All my paintings have begun as a playful experiment with no clear direction. I thought I was alone until I saw this. Thank you so much. ❤
Such a gorgeous painting! Love watching you create

Awesome! I love your portrait style…
Wow! I clicked on this for art tips and got a bonus therapy session. Thank you, I needed that. 🙏🏻
I don't mind at all. You are a wise soul and your process of "playing" is stunning!

I really love your style ❤ and learning a lot as a beginner in painting. Love your humour too.

Phenomenal!!! I was captured not only visually, but my heart resonated so much with your words. Thank you ❤
Holy Cow. How beautiful is that. I do compare myself to you and I obviously still have a long way to go. Your technical ability for facial realism, combines with abstract chaos is mind blowing 😮
Thank you so much!!!❤
Seriously, I loved this so much! Also, I was today years old when I discovered Abstract Realism. I'm in love.
Good for you, gurl! I think you have captured the essence of life... !

What a spectacular creation - and your words resonate too. I’m sure many of those considered to be the best artists in history also got caught up comparing their work to others at times. But if we try to create something to be compared to others, we never break boundaries & exceed expectations
I completely agree.❤
