Valerie Mam, you have no idea HOW BIG of an impact you create on your viewers….I’m a 14 year old from India who immediately turns to your videos during every stressful phase that I have…I have won competitions thanks your knowledge, I have gained a better understanding of the society as well as myself because of your videos, I have calmed down myself on sooo many occasions by just watching your videos. They are so meditative and helpful and I have no words to thank you enough! So far, I never really adored any celebrity or wished to meet them, but your videos have helped me get through so much, that I for once, adore a celebrity (you), and wish to meet her. Please do visit India once Mam 🇮🇳♥️
Ooooh I‘m so proud of you!!!🥹❤️ I‘m just a normal person, sharing what I love and what has helped me so far, I appreciate your warm words, sending you a hug 💌☀️
they way she perfectly surrounds a daily vlog around a painting so peacefully is an art in itself . everything about this channel screams serenity, i love it .
6:17 I also learned from a therapist that everyone has a right to feel anger, disappointment, etc. so instead of feeling punished or belittled, it’s good to acknowledge the fact that they can have those feelings, and try to understand their point of view. Don’t take everything people say personally. This advice helped me with relationships with people. I hope it can help others too.
THIS!!! once i learned not to take other peoples feelings as a personal attack, i got defensive a lot less, meaning we could calmy work forward towrds a solution, instead of having an argument.
Dear Valerie, I get excited every time I see you've made a new video. It feels like hanging out with a friend, even though we don't really know each other. I also start my painting/drawing sessions with re-watching some of your old videos, for the simple pleasure, comfort and inspiration you provide. You radiate positive energy across the world. Thank you for being you.
"I can still love the sun and the rain, even though using an umbrella and sitting in the shade. All it means is, that I also love umbrellas and shade. But most of all I have to love myself. Without self love, we keep seeking love from the outside, and it is never to be found there. It is within. That love is unconditional and without fear. Everything outside of you will start reflecting it, once applied. " Christina. 😊 💖 🌻 🐞
My dear..you are also that neighbor who we knocked on her door one day and became friends ..you literally inspire me to be better and to see the aspects that I overlooked..I am a mother and I live my day around my kids and whenever I want inspiration for drawing I re-watch your videos.. Thanks my friend ❤⚘
Valerie you are an absolute inspiration! I cannot express how much your videos move me and how deeply I resonate with your words. Thank you for being who you are and sharing your artistry with the world.
Hello, I am a 15-year-old teenager from Saudi Arabia(KSA). I would like to say that your clips warm my heart and relieve the pressures I am facing. I mean, you are a very special person. I really wish you all the best from my heart. By the way, I also started learning English and thanks to you I became Somewhat easier. ❤
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 taking care of my brain by focusing on 3 things - (journaling) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and studying - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. And part of that is wanting sucess from come from taking care of myself rather than destroying myself when I worked a corporate job. I was a zombie for 2 years after seriously burning out in 2019, so depressed - feeling like those years are just gone - but all the work ive been putting into myself has made for better, more authentic relationships.
Amen to that. I love the term "mediocre consistency" it is a much more manageable goal, especially after coming out of a dark time where you almost became destroyed, like you said. I've recently gone through a similar thing and I'm getting there :)
when i can’t find peace in myself, i watch all your videos because i find peace in them. i feel my mind becoming at ease and the tension from my shoulders disappearing. watching your videos is like watching my favorite comfort show, and in the small chance that you might be reading this, i just want to thank you for existing
Thank you, Valerie! I want you to know about a particular way that you have helped me. One of my passions in life is writing, but I’ve always struggled with writing at home, because it felt kind of lonely. So, I always went to coffee houses to write, in order to be around people. But, watching you peacefully paint in solitude has had a vicarious effect on me. Instead of feeling as though I’m missing something when I’m alone, I now see my solitude as a quiet blessing. Loneliness has been replaced with a sense of peace. And, with that peace comes inspiration and motivation. Even joy sometimes. So, thank you for modeling contentment within solitude. It’s an entirely different (and so much better) way of perceiving the very same thing! I still have my friends, but I don’t feel a need to depend on them. Thank you for making a difference in the world, Valerie! You’ve been a blessing to me! 😊
You are absolutely correct when I was surrounded by people who I thought were my closest friends I was a totally different person but I was always aware that I was not acting like myself when I distanced myself from them I started being more confident and comfortable with who I am. some would say that not having friends is sad but I disagree if you are going through the same thing don't feel sad take the time to get to know yourself build a healthy mindset and lifestyle. when the time is right and the people are right they will stick around.
Valerie, you are such a wise soul and the most talented and inspiring artist. I watch your videos when I am creating my own art. I am in my final year of art school and sometimes wonder what I am doing with my life! But, people like you inspire me to keep going, keep creating. Thank you xx
it's been a while since I've come back to these videos, because of college work and all that, but it is just generally so refreshing to be able to see something that is so creative and meaningful, and after a day of spending time with my friends and working together, I can't help but feel as though I found in the right time
Dear Valerie, even I love reading beautiful comments from amazing people below- across the globe! Wow, imagine a power of honesty and being you! Loved your painting!!! And true forgiveness helps but toxic people should be kept far for one's sanity! For me my fur angels have been a stronger support to me and mum. It is essential to be kind and wise in this world! Good to forgive for one's peace of mind but should never forget the lesson! I have had real hard last 2.5yrs! Your videos are bliss...thank you! Keep shining and being you!🙏💫
Valerie, thanks for another soothing video and so much to learn from you. Your daily experiences and how you handle yourself have such powerful message for all. Relationships can be complicated at times. It is how you handle and what you choose to ignore to make it better. I love your trip to the beach and your painting time, a magnificent way to concentrate and be only you. Congratulations and many blessings for each day. If you look back five years ago, it is Wow! So many changes and you are still sweet, loving and open. Much love and virtual hugs. Keep going girl!
I was feeling stressed and agitated, awakened from a strange dream. Then I saw your video and it brought me the peace and escape that I needed. This is why art is so important, because it takes us away when we need a break, even for just a moment 🌿🤍
Dearest sweetest girl 🦋You bring such calm joy into my life. I find myself waiting for your next video. You are so wise and I’m so inspired to continue my journey into more creative ways to express who I really am. I’m a 58 year old woman from Norway, grandma of 5 and are sharing your videos with them. How wonderful it is that a young woman, artist from Berlin can open my heart like you do ❤️By your recommendation I have been listening to Mastery, that book is so beautiful, thank you! Now I will listen to Attachment, because I’m struggling with relationships as I have been for my whole life. I would like to support you, do you have a Patreon account? Lots of 💕 Tone
Valerie I so enjoyed this video. The painting was beautiful, the day in the forest magical and my daughters loved that program too. I wait till you post, it’s so cool to hear what is going on with you there. Your gentle philosophies are just as important as your beautiful art works and keep inspiring me in so many ways. I am an older lady who paints and creates stuff. I believe you are a kind influence and have such a friendly way about you. It is worth watching your wise take on the world. Thank you
I really enjoy spending time with you, learning watercolor and listening the wisdom that life has given you. So happy for you Dear Valerie, your an inspiration for me. God bless your life and every piece of your wishes. 💐
Your videos are always heart-warming~ I also find the process of making food for myself a bit of a struggle, even though I love to eat, but I need to improve on my patience skills!
This video was AWESOME, loved the last outfit by the way, very colorful. Coming from a Hawaiian culture, we're pretty dependant on each other. We used to grow food for our tribe, house eachother, we were a groupist society. Now we pretty much are the opposite but same at the same time which means we're very accepting and welcoming. Having moved to Virginia I experience a near completely different culture, not very welcoming. Because of this I learned to depend on trying to read people like Sherlock Holmes almost. I channel this into my art through symbols and colors, I even add a few references here and there, the kind of stuff my ancestors did with tattoos and carvings. It's a weird form of dependency but I love it. It allows me to peel back the curtains and try to understand people on a deeper in level. Also, forgot to mention but I love this video and the artwork is fantastic. I hope one day to see your work in galary and wouldn't mind hanging one on my wall.
Lord of the Rings and also the Hobbit is so nostalgic to me! 2 Years back, before Covid, i have been to New Zealand were the Movies were filmed and the Hobbit-Village was one of the most beautiful Things i have ever seen! Over 20 Gardeners are employed to make all the little Gardens and Flowers look good. But they make it look so Natural and i felt so comfortable walking around the Villages and looking at every little Detail :) Today i will paint a Scene from the Hobbit! Thank you for motivating me again and again :) Greetings from Hamburg
valerie, you are my comfort, a nice warm hug and motivation when I'm tired and need rest. the effort you give in your videos are always noticed and highly appreciated by me.i love how you recharge me just by you being you and those small things that you do to better yourself. those play some big rolls in my life. most important thing you give me mental peace 🌱
Ich will dir danke sagen. Ich fühle mich so sicher und akzeptiert nachdem ich deine Videos schaue. Danke, dass du deine Meinung sagts und teilst mit uns, dass du einblicke schenkst zu deinen wunderschönen Bildern! Dankee
Hi Valerie :) I tear up almost every time a video of ours comes out. I want to thank you for your warm, gentle, kind, and graceful presence. It's so refreshing, healing, and wholesome to watch your channel. I recently discovered what attachment styles are, I am an Avoidant who recently left a long-term relationship. I am learning a lot about my brain and how my attachment styles affect my relationships. With the information I'm learning, I hope to create deeper and more meaningful connections with others :) thank you for being you and letting me feel like I'm sitting with a friend
Dear Valerie, I just wanna say "Thank you" for your existence! Everything about you as a person along with your contents is so so valuable and I'm so glad to meet such a wonderful person like you through RUclips. The music you choosed at the ending of the video is so beautiful + your paintings are getting so much better💞. Sending you hugs🫂
Valerie, you are a beautiful soul, deeply perceptive and wise for your young age. Thank you for taking us on your little jaunts, allowing us to explore with you, and for your thoughts on relationships. Im old enough to be your Grandmother, I'm sure of it, but today I learned something from you. Thank you xx. Sending love from stinking hot Florida, USA 🙂
You always remind me to see the beauty in everyday and I’m so grateful for that. Your videos always come out when I need them the most and gives me a message that I need to think about. I’m in a lonely place at the moment and today you have helped to feel as I had a friend with me to remind me to look after myself and find some contentment within myself. Thank you again Valerie I hope our paths meet in the future.
Valerie, your soul is beautiful! Thank you for this video. I needed it today. Your voice, calming activities even music soundtrack choices helped calm me significantly as I folded laundry today.
I've found your videos randomly searching for oil painting! I absolutely love them instantly, and I am so grateful for you giving us this fantastic experience of watching your videos. It's comfy, relaxing and feels like home. Cheers from Brazil, Valerie! ❤️✨
I just want to say how refreshing your videos are. They mean a lot to me, when I am motivated, I dive into any one of your videos (even if I have watched them many times) and you relight this spark for me! This is the same if I am sad and feeling lonely, again I switch back to your videos, so thank you for taking your time to make these wonderful creations and showing us your talent with your beautiful, calming voice. This sad & lonely woman appreciates you
Hey Valerie, I can't begin to say how inspired I am. I feel like the most beautiful people are the ones who are hardly seen... I've had difficulty recovering from a past relationship, but you have reminded me to forgive and accept it 💚 I can't begin to say how grateful I am for you, because I know that you've helped other's more than you'd think nor believe. Germany is looking so beautiful; a lot of my family's from Germany that I've never met, and I've always wanted to go being an Australian. I love that painting so much; it was meant to be for you to take that photo at the right time, and to make it even better in your beautiful way. I'd feel honored to have that painting as my own. 💚You are such a beautiful artist, with such creativity. You remind me of my passed mother, who was kind and was also an artist in her own way 💚thank you for everything Valerie
I am glad you went for a walk and to the forest while you said you were having cramps. It is important to stretch or do yoga when you have a cycle. Also, i have lived in rooms without air conditioning and I regulated the room by blacking out the sun in the morning and at sundown I let the breeze come in with all the windows open. I dont know if that would work for you as you need natural light . Have you thought of freezing a empty plastic milk container and setting it near the breeze of the fan so it can blow cool air? i like that fan. please remember to put a tray under the container if your going to try it. Much Love
Valerie!!! oh my goodness, You have no idea how much your videos positively impact my day-to-day life. You make me think about so many topics that i never really thought in depth about. You also help me improve my art! You are such a rare and beautiful being.
Valerie, I can't even describe how your videos have been inspiring me. I just love how your videos are edited and even more the narration of each one of them. I ALWAYS learn something new watching you. Thank U so much for sharing!🌸💕💖
your videos always make me feel good about life. and also: love your paintings, the lights you add to the shapes, the colors, the poetry behind all this!
Valrie you've always been my cmfort person, whenever I feel a little tired and clueless I see you drop a video. When you said " I am my true self when Im not trying to impress someone" I understood, why I don't like loud companies. Almoat my entire life, I have one way or another tried to please people, and when I am afraid of them being disappointed in me, I withdraw away. But from now on, I'll try to be my own self, I belive I'll find the people that can bring out the best in me and not make me feel,outcasted. Also this time I got good results for my first test so I'm very happy !! The jungle walk looked so fun and cozy. The heat is out of the world, so make sure to keep yourself hydrated and cool, here in my country, we drink warm tea. It helps a lot, remember your sunscreen and take care ^^
Ahh it’s my birthday and I chose to watch this video because your videos are always making a special impact into my heart. Thank you Valerie for all your uniqueness 🤍✨✨✨
You are so beautiful keep going, you are doing what most people can’t and when and if you decide to pass down what you know to a child they will be blessed xoxox keep going beautiful 🙏🏼
Recently I felt burnt out as an artist and decided to go on the quest to rediscover my passions again. Finding you was one of the best things on my way. You call me into the intentional solitude of my deepest sanctuary to rediscover what the child within me would like to create and explore by noticing the particular little beauties around you and savouring life and the process of making. With you I am finding my voice and desire to create again. I hope you continue to make these videos, they are the food for so many souls. And your art is so pleasant and your voice is so needed for such time as this. - with love a filmmaker from Czech Republic, currently living in Nashville
Hello Valerie, I used to watch you during my 11th grade which was 2 years ago and then it all got lost between studies. Now I am studying design and I just randomly searched you up again. Listening to you brings me so much peace. Thank you for putting content out there. I hope you are always surrounded by lovely people. And even if you're not with self aware people, I hope you stay alone. Because watching you struggle and come to this point in life is so empowering. Oh my why am I tearing up?? I wish you all the best Valerie.
I've been looking forward to Valerie's next video for some time. After a hard week at work I chose to watch it with my coffee treat on late Saturday morning. I always gain insightful ways of thinking and feel good vibes by following this channel. I'm also interested in architecture painting at the moment and so that was a bonus! Thank you, Valerie! Alex, UK.
I look forward to your videos. Not only do I love watching you paint, I love your commentary. I’m nearly 70 - you are wise beyond your years and it is so good to see younger people thinking and learning philosophical things. ❤
I never understood this quote ever since i was a child.It said" art is not what you see,but what you make others see"but today because of your videos I can understand it very well, thank you Madam,God bless this real true artist ❤️lots of love from India
I’ve been deeply depressed for about a year almost two years now and couldn’t bring myself to watch or do anything I enjoy. I used to watch your videos all the time and since I’ve been feeling the veil of depression slowly peel off and shed I watched this since it popped up on my timeline. It definitely made me feel better and reconnected to myself, thank you so much 🤍
Hi Valerie, I am from India. I am a housewife and a beginner artist also, but I was not sure if I could be an artist or not. But then I found you and I was amazed by your thoughts and visions. It's make me so strong mentally. I am suffering from hypertension and anxiety. And I am suffering from continuous sleep paralysis. Your videos are so soothing for me. I am now enjoying my art Journey. Whenever I feel exhausted, I turned to you and your positivity. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey. It's the first time I don't envy of any artist. But you became my inspiration and best friend too. I am now in my 40s. And started my art journey from last 6 months. Keep creating beautiful contents like this. This is so much helpful ❤️ Much Love 💕 Greetings 🥰
Beautiful soul! The reflection of beauty is a mere mirror. Loving how candid you are and your thoughts as you ponder life. Its refreshing to know there are true artisans out there diving deep into the waters of the mystery of the expansive thing we call life. You do this every day, so do I. I play with colors and Im also a theatre artist where I use emotions as my paint. Im grateful for artists, grateful for souls like yours who drink life in deeply inside the tiny things. Big hugs from my heart to yours . love from Hawaii. - eve
Hey Valerie, thank you so so much for creating this beautiful safe space over and over again! Please care for yourself as much as you do for your viewers, because you deserve it!! You are such a special person, and you deserve to have people surrounding you that see this - just as you told us :) Sending a huge hug❤️
Your voice. Atmosphere created, pace in speaking, gentleness in sharing and being. Just lovely. Thank you. I guess for just being you. Listening to you, I slow down, and even ground a little I believe. Thank you again ☺️🙏💗🪷
there are so many other art channels that have a similar vibe. but you have something extra special, maybe it's the way you share yourself and your deep thoughts that I can relate to or maybe its the magical way you exist and how that translates into your art. I am very thankful for your videos, it makes me feel comfy and less alone. Thank you .
i am grateful i started watching this channel when it was getting less than 500 views, at that time i was facinated to see a beautiful german girl draw such beautifully. today while watching this not that a long time has passed, but i feel like i have grown with u, and i am happy that as much as u get the nostalgic feeling watching that, i get watching you rise . thank u Lin DUNKE!!!!
AND on that just wanted to add that i am from india, from at artist family, art was always stressful for me always about expectations and such. so seeing a pretty lady living all by herself making wonders, inspiring and effecting me so much as that i want to decorate my room and work on that canvas, thank you again. idk if u will read this ever but i vouch for u . starry night and Lin supremacy!
Hello Valerie, your videos are so calming and inspiring and I returned to painting after years of not holding a brush all thanks to you. My best friend of 15 years and I love to paint and draw since we were kids, and we used to draw during all of our classes as teenagers lol. Now more than a decade later, we live in different countries and we have our own lives and careers but we are still just as close and still remember those days. I sent her a link to your channel because you actually look so much like her and she also now lives in Germany hahahaha. She is now writing a novel which has been in her head since we were kids but now the storyline has grown and matured as she did. She is painting her own characters. And I am now painting to decorate my home. And I am so thankful to you because you have sparked that joy in me and in return I have passed it to my best friend. Aside from all the artistic inspiration you have given us, I really love the things you talk about during your videos. I think you're few years younger than me, but I truly admire your maturity and sense of self and determination and overall knowledge. Please do keep sharing 🙏 God bless you and I do hope that if you ever visit New York, you would do a meet and greet with your viewers here cuz we would all love to meet you :)
I so enjoy your channel. Your shared thoughts ,positive outlook and desire for personal growth are so comforting. Love the outings you share. Your talent blows me away. The watercolor you created in this video is my favorite! I would love to own a piece of your artwork. Just beautiful work you create! So enjoy your channel and content. Thank you. Be well.
Thank you so much for sharing bits of your world with us! You have immense talent. There is so much care in your videos. Your writing, your filming, your editing, the music and the paiting you create are always so soothing and beautifully thought out. You are such a gift. I always feel better after watching your videos. Thank you!
Dear Valerie, I really enjoy your videos every time. They are so comfy so appreciating and so inspiring. I am 13 years old and I study in an art school in Armenia 🇦🇲. Watching your videos gets me inspired and gives me a big desire to move on, create and live a better life. Thank you very much. When I grow up, I wish to be as great artist and as great person as you ❤️❤️. Wish to meet you once. Visit Armenia some time. Our national art is very nice too. And we will always be happy to great you in our lovely country 🇦🇲❤️
I started watching your channel when I was at my lowest point, and you raised me up. I was giving up on my dreams because of my depression. You helped me grow. You and my old art teacher are the top two artists I look up to. Thank you for making me believe in myself again -Yours truly Rain
Valarie, of all the RUclips artists I watch, you are my favorite! Not just because I love your artwork and the way you approach your painting, but also the esthetic of your videos. Thankyou for the inspiration you give me!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, calm and wise mind. Like your paintings, everything about you has depth. Nothing you share is superficial or hollow. There are always perspectives, light and shadow and a safe framework. And in between one finds this wide, bright space where one can feel free to be themselves. Each video is like a painted picture in which you paint many more pictures nested within each other. Thank you very very much!!! If life brings me down, you help me, see light and strength. ❤❤❤
Ich fühle das so, dass du H2O geguckt hast, habe das als Kind bzw. Teenager auch geliebt und gucke das manchmal noch mit Freundinnen, ist wirklich total nostalgisch und einfach ne Feel-Good-Serie :D
Vielen Danke, Danke, Danke! 💜 You make life better! I love what you create and what you say! Ach du lieber cool fan! Ach du lieber! Talentiert Genie! Wonderschone! Von ganzem herzen! Vielen Danke, Danke, Danke!🙏
Hi, Valerie, greetings from Portugal! Thank you for sharing another inspiring video. I enjoyed watching it a lot while having my lunch :) Wonderful watercolor painting by the way...
Liebe Valerie, deine Videos haben es in kürzester Zeit geschafft meine favs auf RUclips zu werden.☺️✨ Sie geben einem einen „deep talk night“ vibe der total entspannend ist. Zu gleich sind sie dank deiner wunderschönen Kunst und deiner herzlichen Art sehr inspirierend. 🎨✨. Dank dir war ich sehr motiviert nach Berlin zu kommen und die Museumsinsel anzuschauen.🌸✨Vielen Dank!🤗
Dear Valerie, thanks for the update. I like to listen to your talk while making something. Feels like having a friend who is also supportive to my art journey. I heard it’s getting hot in there, hope you stay safe, always.
Thank you Valerie! The two quotes about resentment and friends are two of my favorites! I adore your living/work space it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your world and art.
Your video always give me a peaceful feeling about painting and life. i love how you explain so many things to us when you paint. And thanks for visiting the museum all the time!!! It suddenly give me a thought on the forgotten curiosity I have for visiting a museum. I'm thinking of visiting one soon. As I have never properly visit a museum before. And thanks for creating those videos about you painting all the time. It give me lots of encouragement. And I'm better at navigating on my digital drawing software now. I didn't know art can be so beautiful until I come across your video for the first time, a few months ago.
Dear Valerie--I also read comments from your viewers and note the impact you are having on so many young people. I am a 68-year-old retired engineer and grandmother who has turned back to writing and art as expression of my younger self--a time when things were not so complicated. When I was a young woman of your age, we were not encouraged to follow our dreams, but to work for the good of the family, and oftentimes I felt invisible at home and at work. Becoming reacquainted with myself in these latter years has been a journey. I give thanks to be alive in a day where we have the technology to learn from one another, wherever we might be, in the safety of our own space. You are a wonderful artist and thoughtful human being; thank you for sharing yourself with us.
This is one of my favorite channels. It’s not only entertaining, but it always helps me with the current problems I might be facing. Every time a video ends I feel my mind clearer and so much more inspired. Thank you so so so much. You’re teaching me such valuable things I can’t imagine how to repay you, so I repeat THANK YOU really. Your content is exquisite. Also, I LOVE your art. Hugs from a girl from Spain :P 🤍🌷
Thanks for the beautiful thoughtful and insightfulness you bring to us. You have no idea how meaningful your videos are to me. I re-watch them often in the background as I am doing other things and I learn something new every time. Keep being yourself and look forward to the next one.
I bought paint and brushes yesterday. Today will be the day. These videos have been inspirational and motivational, it has been a real breath of fresh air since I discovered them a few weeks ago. I'm really grateful, thanks Valerie!
It’s nice to know I’m not the only adult that watches tv shows like that 😊😊😊 Exactly what you described, it gives you that comfort and magic, doesn’t it ☺️
I like the colors in your paiting, they’re warm and vibrant. Sometimes I struggle to cook 3 times per day and also listen to tv shows which have a comforting atmosphere, makes me feel part of an experience rather than fulfilling a need. I think being in a committed relationship with the wrong person or before you love yourself can hold you back. But once you build your inner structure and have love and patience with its development, commiting to someone in a similar state will bring you on personal heights you can’t achieve on your own. I think we also put too much pressure on others to deliver to us rather than appreciating if they are a good company on our personal journey. This video was nice and relaxed, felt like catching up with a friend. Summer is the best time. Much love🙋♀️
Your videos have been a sanctuary and a gift this last year as I work through postpartum depression. I haven't been able to create art this last year and watching your process has been so calming.
I can see how much effort you make for these truely adorable videos, thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous art and inspiring words with us, I really appreciate it!!
Sweet Valerie.Thank you kindly for filming . It helps many of us . After my mother passed away, I asked my very elderly but active Father how he manages to cook for himself . He simple stated I must it keeps me healthy. As I now grow into age I make an effort daily to cook when I have the food. It tastes much better and Please try to make more food for yourself . Having leftovers for the following day can be wise and wonderful. Sending great love from my island for your well being. K from the sea
Valerie Mam, you have no idea HOW BIG of an impact you create on your viewers….I’m a 14 year old from India who immediately turns to your videos during every stressful phase that I have…I have won competitions thanks your knowledge, I have gained a better understanding of the society as well as myself because of your videos, I have calmed down myself on sooo many occasions by just watching your videos. They are so meditative and helpful and I have no words to thank you enough! So far, I never really adored any celebrity or wished to meet them, but your videos have helped me get through so much, that I for once, adore a celebrity (you), and wish to meet her. Please do visit India once Mam 🇮🇳♥️
Bless you child... I'm also from India🇮🇳 What you said is literally me😍
I’m from India too. Valerie is so calming! She’s comforting like grandma’s lullabies.. 🧸
Im from India too and this is so true for me too💓🇮🇳
Ooooh I‘m so proud of you!!!🥹❤️ I‘m just a normal person, sharing what I love and what has helped me so far, I appreciate your warm words, sending you a hug 💌☀️
I'm a college student in India too. Couldn't agree with you more.

My dear..you are also that neighbor who we knocked on her door one day and became friends ..you literally inspire me to be better and to see the aspects that I overlooked..I am a mother and I live my day around my kids and whenever I want inspiration for drawing I re-watch your videos.. Thanks my friend ❤⚘
Valerie you are an absolute inspiration! I cannot express how much your videos move me and how deeply I resonate with your words. Thank you for being who you are and sharing your artistry with the world.
Hello, I am a 15-year-old teenager from Saudi Arabia(KSA). I would like to say that your clips warm my heart and relieve the pressures I am facing. I mean, you are a very special person. I really wish you all the best from my heart. By the way, I also started learning English and thanks to you I became Somewhat easier. ❤
Earthing with nature by taking of your shoes and feeling the soil is just divine.
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 taking care of my brain by focusing on 3 things - (journaling) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and studying - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT.
And part of that is wanting sucess from come from taking care of myself rather than destroying myself when I worked a corporate job. I was a zombie for 2 years after seriously burning out in 2019, so depressed - feeling like those years are just gone - but all the work ive been putting into myself has made for better, more authentic relationships.
Great comment! Thank you for sharing ❤
Beautiful ❤️
Amen to that. I love the term "mediocre consistency" it is a much more manageable goal, especially after coming out of a dark time where you almost became destroyed, like you said. I've recently gone through a similar thing and I'm getting there :)
when i can’t find peace in myself, i watch all your videos because i find peace in them. i feel my mind becoming at ease and the tension from my shoulders disappearing. watching your videos is like watching my favorite comfort show, and in the small chance that you might be reading this, i just want to thank you for existing
Wow!! I feel the same 😌
Thank you, Valerie! I want you to know about a particular way that you have helped me. One of my passions in life is writing, but I’ve always struggled with writing at home, because it felt kind of lonely. So, I always went to coffee houses to write, in order to be around people. But, watching you peacefully paint in solitude has had a vicarious effect on me. Instead of feeling as though I’m missing something when I’m alone, I now see my solitude as a quiet blessing. Loneliness has been replaced with a sense of peace. And, with that peace comes inspiration and motivation. Even joy sometimes. So, thank you for modeling contentment within solitude. It’s an entirely different (and so much better) way of perceiving the very same thing! I still have my friends, but I don’t feel a need to depend on them. Thank you for making a difference in the world, Valerie! You’ve been a blessing to me! 😊
You are absolutely correct when I was surrounded by people who I thought were my closest friends I was a totally different person but I was always aware that I was not acting like myself when I distanced myself from them I started being more confident and comfortable with who I am. some would say that not having friends is sad but I disagree if you are going through the same thing don't feel sad take the time to get to know yourself build a healthy mindset and lifestyle. when the time is right and the people are right they will stick around.
Valerie, you are such a wise soul and the most talented and inspiring artist. I watch your videos when I am creating my own art. I am in my final year of art school and sometimes wonder what I am doing with my life! But, people like you inspire me to keep going, keep creating. Thank you xx
Valerie, thank you for exist.
The time and effort you take when painting is inspiring, and the detailing is so great. You are amazing Valerie.
it's been a while since I've come back to these videos, because of college work and all that, but it is just generally so refreshing to be able to see something that is so creative and meaningful, and after a day of spending time with my friends and working together, I can't help but feel as though I found in the right time
Dear Valerie, even I love reading beautiful comments from amazing people below- across the globe! Wow, imagine a power of honesty and being you!
Loved your painting!!! And true forgiveness helps but toxic people should be kept far for one's sanity! For me my fur angels have been a stronger support to me and mum. It is essential to be kind and wise in this world! Good to forgive for one's peace of mind but should never forget the lesson!
I have had real hard last 2.5yrs! Your videos are bliss...thank you! Keep shining and being you!🙏💫
Yup exactly! There are some people whom I can't tolerate and I stay away from their toxicity as far as I can.
Valerie, thanks for another soothing video and so much to learn from you. Your daily experiences and how you handle yourself have such powerful message for all. Relationships can be complicated at times. It is how you handle and what you choose to ignore to make it better. I love your trip to the beach and your painting time, a magnificent way to concentrate and be only you. Congratulations and many blessings for each day. If you look back five years ago, it is Wow! So many changes and you are still sweet, loving and open. Much love and virtual hugs. Keep going girl!
I was feeling stressed and agitated, awakened from a strange dream. Then I saw your video and it brought me the peace and escape that I needed. This is why art is so important, because it takes us away when we need a break, even for just a moment 🌿🤍
Dearest sweetest girl 🦋You bring such calm joy into my life. I find myself waiting for your next video. You are so wise and I’m so inspired to continue my journey into more creative ways to express who I really am. I’m a 58 year old woman from Norway, grandma of 5 and are sharing your videos with them. How wonderful it is that a young woman, artist from Berlin can open my heart like you do ❤️By your recommendation I have been listening to Mastery, that book is so beautiful, thank you! Now I will listen to Attachment, because I’m struggling with relationships as I have been for my whole life.
I would like to support you, do you have a Patreon account?
Lots of 💕
Tone
Valerie I so enjoyed this video. The painting was beautiful, the day in the forest magical and my daughters loved that program too.
I wait till you post, it’s so cool to hear what is going on with you there. Your gentle philosophies are just as important as your beautiful art works and keep inspiring me in so many ways. I am an older lady who paints and creates stuff. I believe you are a kind influence and have such a friendly way about you. It is worth watching your wise take on the world. Thank you
I really enjoy spending time with you, learning watercolor and listening the wisdom that life has given you. So happy for you Dear Valerie, your an inspiration for me. God bless your life and every piece of your wishes. 💐
Your videos are always heart-warming~ I also find the process of making food for myself a bit of a struggle, even though I love to eat, but I need to improve on my patience skills!
This video was AWESOME, loved the last outfit by the way, very colorful. Coming from a Hawaiian culture, we're pretty dependant on each other. We used to grow food for our tribe, house eachother, we were a groupist society. Now we pretty much are the opposite but same at the same time which means we're very accepting and welcoming. Having moved to Virginia I experience a near completely different culture, not very welcoming. Because of this I learned to depend on trying to read people like Sherlock Holmes almost. I channel this into my art through symbols and colors, I even add a few references here and there, the kind of stuff my ancestors did with tattoos and carvings. It's a weird form of dependency but I love it. It allows me to peel back the curtains and try to understand people on a deeper in level. Also, forgot to mention but I love this video and the artwork is fantastic. I hope one day to see your work in galary and wouldn't mind hanging one on my wall.
all you do í just simple but magical
Lord of the Rings and also the Hobbit is so nostalgic to me!
2 Years back, before Covid, i have been to New Zealand were the Movies were filmed
and the Hobbit-Village was one of the most beautiful Things i have ever seen!
Over 20 Gardeners are employed to make all the little Gardens and Flowers look good. But they make it look so Natural and i felt so comfortable walking around the Villages and looking at every little Detail :)
Today i will paint a Scene from the Hobbit! Thank you for motivating me again and again :)
Greetings from Hamburg
valerie, you are my comfort, a nice warm hug and motivation when I'm tired and need rest. the effort you give in your videos are always noticed and highly appreciated by me.i love how you recharge me just by you being you and those small things that you do to better yourself. those play some big rolls in my life. most important thing you give me mental peace 🌱
Ich will dir danke sagen. Ich fühle mich so sicher und akzeptiert nachdem ich deine Videos schaue. Danke, dass du deine Meinung sagts und teilst mit uns, dass du einblicke schenkst zu deinen wunderschönen Bildern! Dankee
Hi Valerie :) I tear up almost every time a video of ours comes out. I want to thank you for your warm, gentle, kind, and graceful presence. It's so refreshing, healing, and wholesome to watch your channel. I recently discovered what attachment styles are, I am an Avoidant who recently left a long-term relationship. I am learning a lot about my brain and how my attachment styles affect my relationships. With the information I'm learning, I hope to create deeper and more meaningful connections with others :) thank you for being you and letting me feel like I'm sitting with a friend
Perfect Timing, I was just setting up to paint. Wanted something to motivate a good session. 😊
Dear Valerie,
I just wanna say "Thank you" for your existence! Everything about you as a person along with your contents is so so valuable and I'm so glad to meet such a wonderful person like you through RUclips. The music you choosed at the ending of the video is so beautiful + your paintings are getting so much better💞.
Sending you hugs🫂
Valerie, you are a beautiful soul, deeply perceptive and wise for your young age. Thank you for taking us on your little jaunts, allowing us to explore with you, and for your thoughts on relationships. Im old enough to be your Grandmother, I'm sure of it, but today I learned something from you. Thank you xx. Sending love from stinking hot Florida, USA 🙂
You always remind me to see the beauty in everyday and I’m so grateful for that. Your videos always come out when I need them the most and gives me a message that I need to think about. I’m in a lonely place at the moment and today you have helped to feel as I had a friend with me to remind me to look after myself and find some contentment within myself. Thank you again Valerie I hope our paths meet in the future.
Valerie, your soul is beautiful! Thank you for this video. I needed it today. Your voice, calming activities even music soundtrack choices helped calm me significantly as I folded laundry today.
I've found your videos randomly searching for oil painting!
I absolutely love them instantly, and I am so grateful for you giving us this fantastic experience of watching your videos. It's comfy, relaxing and feels like home.
Cheers from Brazil, Valerie! ❤️✨
I just want to say how refreshing your videos are. They mean a lot to me, when I am motivated, I dive into any one of your videos (even if I have watched them many times) and you relight this spark for me! This is the same if I am sad and feeling lonely, again I switch back to your videos, so thank you for taking your time to make these wonderful creations and showing us your talent with your beautiful, calming voice. This sad & lonely woman appreciates you
Hey Valerie, I can't begin to say how inspired I am. I feel like the most beautiful people are the ones who are hardly seen... I've had difficulty recovering from a past relationship, but you have reminded me to forgive and accept it 💚 I can't begin to say how grateful I am for you, because I know that you've helped other's more than you'd think nor believe. Germany is looking so beautiful; a lot of my family's from Germany that I've never met, and I've always wanted to go being an Australian. I love that painting so much; it was meant to be for you to take that photo at the right time, and to make it even better in your beautiful way. I'd feel honored to have that painting as my own. 💚You are such a beautiful artist, with such creativity. You remind me of my passed mother, who was kind and was also an artist in her own way 💚thank you for everything Valerie
Your video editing skills are So good! No wonder it takes you so long to upload, it clearly shows how hard you work on them 🙂🙌🏼
I am glad you went for a walk and to the forest while you said you were having cramps. It is important to stretch or do yoga when you have a cycle. Also, i have lived in rooms without air conditioning and I regulated the room by blacking out the sun in the morning and at sundown I let the breeze come in with all the windows open. I dont know if that would work for you as you need natural light . Have you thought of freezing a empty plastic milk container and setting it near the breeze of the fan so it can blow cool air? i like that fan. please remember to put a tray under the container if your going to try it. Much Love
Valerie!!! oh my goodness, You have no idea how much your videos positively impact my day-to-day life. You make me think about so many topics that i never really thought in depth about. You also help me improve my art! You are such a rare and beautiful being.
Many thanks again for your Beautiful work Valerie and of course for your Lovely words and your sensitivity 💕
Stay safe 😊
Valerie, I can't even describe how your videos have been inspiring me. I just love how your videos are edited and even more the narration of each one of them. I ALWAYS learn something new watching you. Thank U so much for sharing!🌸💕💖
your videos always make me feel good about life. and also: love your paintings, the lights you add to the shapes, the colors, the poetry behind all this!
I love her sense of humor 😂, we can all use it in these times 😉
Valrie you've always been my cmfort person, whenever I feel a little tired and clueless I see you drop a video. When you said " I am my true self when Im not trying to impress someone" I understood, why I don't like loud companies. Almoat my entire life, I have one way or another tried to please people, and when I am afraid of them being disappointed in me, I withdraw away. But from now on, I'll try to be my own self, I belive I'll find the people that can bring out the best in me and not make me feel,outcasted.
Also this time I got good results for my first test so I'm very happy !! The jungle walk looked so fun and cozy.
The heat is out of the world, so make sure to keep yourself hydrated and cool, here in my country, we drink warm tea. It helps a lot, remember your sunscreen and take care ^^
Ahh it’s my birthday and I chose to watch this video because your videos are always making a special impact into my heart. Thank you Valerie for all your uniqueness 🤍✨✨✨
You are so beautiful keep going, you are doing what most people can’t and when and if you decide to pass down what you know to a child they will be blessed xoxox keep going beautiful 🙏🏼
Recently I felt burnt out as an artist and decided to go on the quest to rediscover my passions again. Finding you was one of the best things on my way. You call me into the intentional solitude of my deepest sanctuary to rediscover what the child within me would like to create and explore by noticing the particular little beauties around you and savouring life and the process of making. With you I am finding my voice and desire to create again. I hope you continue to make these videos, they are the food for so many souls. And your art is so pleasant and your voice is so needed for such time as this. - with love a filmmaker from Czech Republic, currently living in Nashville
I ❤ a good paradox too💞 Thank you for this beautiful antidote
I've realized that you've been laughing and showing more emotion in your videos you seem way happier than before. I am so glad for you 🥰.
Hello Valerie, I used to watch you during my 11th grade which was 2 years ago and then it all got lost between studies.
Now I am studying design and I just randomly searched you up again. Listening to you brings me so much peace. Thank you for putting content out there.
I hope you are always surrounded by lovely people. And even if you're not with self aware people, I hope you stay alone. Because watching you struggle and come to this point in life is so empowering.
Oh my why am I tearing up??
I wish you all the best Valerie.
and it gives me strength.
Absolutely stunning, videos always relaxing and educational
Yeah 💖
I've been looking forward to Valerie's next video for some time. After a hard week at work I chose to watch it with my coffee treat on late Saturday morning. I always gain insightful ways of thinking and feel good vibes by following this channel. I'm also interested in architecture painting at the moment and so that was a bonus! Thank you, Valerie! Alex, UK.
I look forward to your videos. Not only do I love watching you paint, I love your commentary. I’m nearly 70 - you are wise beyond your years and it is so good to see younger people thinking and learning philosophical things. ❤
I always feel calm and more inspired when I finish watching your videos, they are literally my therapy. 💙
fr
Your videos inspire me to life a more meaningful life and I’m so terribly thankful for that 🐡🐡🐡
I never understood this quote ever since i was a child.It said" art is not what you see,but what you make others see"but today because of your videos I can understand it very well, thank you Madam,God bless this real true artist ❤️lots of love from India
I’ve been deeply depressed for about a year almost two years now and couldn’t bring myself to watch or do anything I enjoy. I used to watch your videos all the time and since I’ve been feeling the veil of depression slowly peel off and shed I watched this since it popped up on my timeline. It definitely made me feel better and reconnected to myself, thank you so much 🤍
Whenever I need comfort from someone to that I can relate. You are uploading a new video. This is the job of the universe.
Hi Valerie,
I am from India. I am a housewife and a beginner artist also, but I was not sure if I could be an artist or not. But then I found you and I was amazed by your thoughts and visions. It's make me so strong mentally. I am suffering from hypertension and anxiety. And I am suffering from continuous sleep paralysis. Your videos are so soothing for me. I am now enjoying my art Journey. Whenever I feel exhausted, I turned to you and your positivity. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey. It's the first time I don't envy of any artist. But you became my inspiration and best friend too. I am now in my 40s. And started my art journey from last 6 months. Keep creating beautiful contents like this. This is so much helpful ❤️
Much Love 💕
Greetings 🥰
i LOOOOVE your cozy art vlogs! They're my fav
Beautiful soul! The reflection of beauty is a mere mirror. Loving how candid you are and your thoughts as you ponder life. Its refreshing to know there are true artisans out there diving deep into the waters of the mystery of the expansive thing we call life. You do this every day, so do I. I play with colors and Im also a theatre artist where I use emotions as my paint. Im grateful for artists, grateful for souls like yours who drink life in deeply inside the tiny things. Big hugs from my heart to yours . love from Hawaii. - eve
Hey Valerie, thank you so so much for creating this beautiful safe space over and over again! Please care for yourself as much as you do for your viewers, because you deserve it!! You are such a special person, and you deserve to have people surrounding you that see this - just as you told us :)
Sending a huge hug❤️
Your voice. Atmosphere created, pace in speaking, gentleness in sharing and being. Just lovely. Thank you. I guess for just being you. Listening to you, I slow down, and even ground a little I believe. Thank you again ☺️🙏💗🪷
there are so many other art channels that have a similar vibe. but you have something extra special, maybe it's the way you share yourself and your deep thoughts that I can relate to or maybe its the magical way you exist and how that translates into your art. I am very thankful for your videos, it makes me feel comfy and less alone. Thank you .
Dear Valerie, I really enjoyed your video and your painting is beautiful. You are inspirational in so many ways. Be happy and enjoy your weekend. 🌞❤️
You are so talented!! I admire your art!! Your whole careful process is so inspiring!! I love your sweet voice Valerie!! Keep up the good work !! Ly 🤍
i am grateful i started watching this channel when it was getting less than 500 views, at that time i was facinated to see a beautiful german girl draw such beautifully. today while watching this not that a long time has passed, but i feel like i have grown with u, and i am happy that as much as u get the nostalgic feeling watching that, i get watching you rise . thank u Lin DUNKE!!!!
AND on that just wanted to add that i am from india, from at artist family, art was always stressful for me always about expectations and such. so seeing a pretty lady living all by herself making wonders, inspiring and effecting me so much as that i want to decorate my room and work on that canvas, thank you again. idk if u will read this ever but i vouch for u . starry night and Lin supremacy!
crying bc I didn't know anyone else who watched H20 growing up but I agree- so cozy and magical in the most sincere way. just like your vids >.
Hello Valerie, your videos are so calming and inspiring and I returned to painting after years of not holding a brush all thanks to you. My best friend of 15 years and I love to paint and draw since we were kids, and we used to draw during all of our classes as teenagers lol. Now more than a decade later, we live in different countries and we have our own lives and careers but we are still just as close and still remember those days. I sent her a link to your channel because you actually look so much like her and she also now lives in Germany hahahaha. She is now writing a novel which has been in her head since we were kids but now the storyline has grown and matured as she did. She is painting her own characters. And I am now painting to decorate my home. And I am so thankful to you because you have sparked that joy in me and in return I have passed it to my best friend. Aside from all the artistic inspiration you have given us, I really love the things you talk about during your videos. I think you're few years younger than me, but I truly admire your maturity and sense of self and determination and overall knowledge. Please do keep sharing 🙏 God bless you and I do hope that if you ever visit New York, you would do a meet and greet with your viewers here cuz we would all love to meet you :)
I so enjoy your channel. Your shared thoughts ,positive outlook and desire for personal growth are so comforting.
Love the outings you share. Your talent blows me away. The watercolor you created in this video is my favorite! I would love to own a piece of your artwork. Just beautiful work you create!
So enjoy your channel and content. Thank you. Be well.
“You are always your true self when you don’t want to impress…” I love that ✨
Thank you so much for sharing bits of your world with us! You have immense talent. There is so much care in your videos. Your writing, your filming, your editing, the music and the paiting you create are always so soothing and beautifully thought out. You are such a gift. I always feel better after watching your videos. Thank you!
Dear Valerie, I really enjoy your videos every time. They are so comfy so appreciating and so inspiring. I am 13 years old and I study in an art school in Armenia 🇦🇲. Watching your videos gets me inspired and gives me a big desire to move on, create and live a better life. Thank you very much. When I grow up, I wish to be as great artist and as great person as you ❤️❤️. Wish to meet you once. Visit Armenia some time. Our national art is very nice too. And we will always be happy to great you in our lovely country 🇦🇲❤️
...
I started watching your channel when I was at my lowest point, and you raised me up. I was giving up on my dreams because of my depression. You helped me grow. You and my old art teacher are the top two artists I look up to. Thank you for making me believe in myself again
-Yours truly
Rain
Valarie, of all the RUclips artists I watch, you are my favorite! Not just because I love your artwork and the way you approach your painting, but also the esthetic of your videos. Thankyou for the inspiration you give me!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, calm and wise mind. Like your paintings, everything about you has depth. Nothing you share is superficial or hollow. There are always perspectives, light and shadow and a safe framework. And in between one finds this wide, bright space where one can feel free to be themselves. Each video is like a painted picture in which you paint many more pictures nested within each other. Thank you very very much!!! If life brings me down, you help me, see light and strength. ❤❤❤
Valerie you helped me a lot to see the world with other eyes and think before doing things❤️. I hope you can get everything you want.
Ich fühle das so, dass du H2O geguckt hast, habe das als Kind bzw. Teenager auch geliebt und gucke das manchmal noch mit Freundinnen, ist wirklich total nostalgisch und einfach ne Feel-Good-Serie :D
Vielen Danke, Danke, Danke! 💜 You make life better! I love what you create and what you say!
Ach du lieber cool fan!
Ach du lieber! Talentiert Genie! Wonderschone!
Von ganzem herzen!
Vielen Danke, Danke, Danke!🙏
i absolutely love the energy of this girl
Hi, Valerie, greetings from Portugal! Thank you for sharing another inspiring video. I enjoyed watching it a lot while having my lunch :) Wonderful watercolor painting by the way...
I always look forward to your videos. I’m not an artist but I love to watch you create. Take care 🤗🇺🇸
Liebe Valerie, deine Videos haben es in kürzester Zeit geschafft meine favs auf RUclips zu werden.☺️✨ Sie geben einem einen „deep talk night“ vibe der total entspannend ist. Zu gleich sind sie dank deiner wunderschönen Kunst und deiner herzlichen Art sehr inspirierend.
🎨✨. Dank dir war ich sehr motiviert nach Berlin zu kommen und die Museumsinsel anzuschauen.🌸✨Vielen Dank!🤗
Dear Valerie, thanks for the update. I like to listen to your talk while making something. Feels like having a friend who is also supportive to my art journey. I heard it’s getting hot in there, hope you stay safe, always.
Thank you Valerie! The two quotes about resentment and friends are two of my favorites! I adore your living/work space it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your world and art.
Your video always give me a peaceful feeling about painting and life. i love how you explain so many things to us when you paint. And thanks for visiting the museum all the time!!! It suddenly give me a thought on the forgotten curiosity I have for visiting a museum. I'm thinking of visiting one soon. As I have never properly visit a museum before. And thanks for creating those videos about you painting all the time. It give me lots of encouragement. And I'm better at navigating on my digital drawing software now. I didn't know art can be so beautiful until I come across your video for the first time, a few months ago.
Dear Valerie--I also read comments from your viewers and note the impact you are having on so many young people. I am a 68-year-old retired engineer and grandmother who has turned back to writing and art as expression of my younger self--a time when things were not so complicated. When I was a young woman of your age, we were not encouraged to follow our dreams, but to work for the good of the family, and oftentimes I felt invisible at home and at work. Becoming reacquainted with myself in these latter years has been a journey. I give thanks to be alive in a day where we have the technology to learn from one another, wherever we might be, in the safety of our own space. You are a wonderful artist and thoughtful human being; thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I hope you know how good you make people feel! I feel sm peace and find myself smiling at the screen like a weirdo hearing and seeing you 🤍
This is one of my favorite channels. It’s not only entertaining, but it always helps me with the current problems I might be facing. Every time a video ends I feel my mind clearer and so much more inspired. Thank you so so so much. You’re teaching me such valuable things I can’t imagine how to repay you, so I repeat THANK YOU really. Your content is exquisite. Also, I LOVE your art.
Hugs from a girl from Spain :P 🤍🌷
Thanks for the beautiful thoughtful and insightfulness you bring to us. You have no idea how meaningful your videos are to me. I re-watch them often in the background as I am doing other things and I learn something new every time. Keep being yourself and look forward to the next one.
I bought paint and brushes yesterday. Today will be the day.
These videos have been inspirational and motivational, it has been a real breath of fresh air since I discovered them a few weeks ago. I'm really grateful, thanks Valerie!
Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life. Seeing these little moments fills me with happiness, and reminds me to enjoy the tasks we do in life.
Your videos inspire me to keep trying and im so thankful for that! So thank you, Valerie.
It’s nice to know I’m not the only adult that watches tv shows like that 😊😊😊 Exactly what you described, it gives you that comfort and magic, doesn’t it ☺️
I like the colors in your paiting, they’re warm and vibrant. Sometimes I struggle to cook 3 times per day and also listen to tv shows which have a comforting atmosphere, makes me feel part of an experience rather than fulfilling a need.
I think being in a committed relationship with the wrong person or before you love yourself can hold you back. But once you build your inner structure and have love and patience with its development, commiting to someone in a similar state will bring you on personal heights you can’t achieve on your own.
I think we also put too much pressure on others to deliver to us rather than appreciating if they are a good company on our personal journey.
This video was nice and relaxed, felt like catching up with a friend. Summer is the best time.
Much love🙋♀️
Your videos have been a sanctuary and a gift this last year as I work through postpartum depression. I haven't been able to create art this last year and watching your process has been so calming.
I can see how much effort you make for these truely adorable videos, thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous art and inspiring words with us, I really appreciate it!!
Sweet Valerie.Thank you kindly for filming . It helps many of us . After my mother passed away, I asked my very elderly but active Father how he manages to cook for himself . He simple stated I must it keeps me healthy. As I now grow into age I make an effort daily to cook when I have the food. It tastes much better and Please try to make more food for yourself . Having leftovers for the following day can be wise and wonderful. Sending great love from my island for your well being. K from the sea
