A week in my life as an artist ✿ balancing my job, life, art and overcoming art block ✿ art vlog 002

Hello everyone!!! Here's a lil' week in my life, where I try to balance out all the stuff in my life - my job, meeting friends, doing things with my partner, taking care of my dog Tula AND finding time for art. I am also trying out a new art technique here, by collaging a lil illustration for a good friend.
Can you guys relate to what I say about art style, instagram and artblock or am I alone on that one? Would love to hear your thoughts ♡
Big thank you for all the support on heeeeere - yiiiiiiiih!!!
Hope you like it!
Much love,
Anou

I love your style! And I love the vlog!

[@anouschkafabre]

Thank you so much 🥰

I've never done collaging (it always looked too intimidating to me); watching you do it was so much fun! I love how you talked about your art style too! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@anouschkafabre]

Oooh you should try it out!! It was really fun at the end, even tho the „ugly“ phase seemed to take forever 😂

[@dianaredwood]

I just discovered your channel and it made me so happy! I just started documenting my art, and what you said about art style and the Instagram algorithm is so right! It can be so frustrating to not post whatever you want and instead make your posting decisions based on what Instagram "wants" you to post. I find that KZbin videos are more liberating and gives me more opportunities to explore new ways of creating and sharing. Thank you so much for this video ☺

[@anouschkafabre]

Yaaaas! Here‘s to KZbin 🫶🏼 Glad I‘m not alone on this one 🥰

[@Darling_Decay]

Got a new sub, I’m in love with your videos, your editing, talking, decor, art style, everything!!!

[@anouschkafabre]

Ooooh so nice of you to say that!! It’s actually still weird for me to sit in front of the camera like this 😅🧡

[@charly_7281]

Hahahaha - that‘s why I write EVERYTHING in my phone calendar 😂😂😂

[@julietteeraers6213]

OMG THANK YOU! I do surreal art, but I do different series in different styles. Yes, it's all surreal and creepy, but the styles are different. I see artists doing amazing work, but it's always the same. Like there's this one guy who does amazing realistic charcoal/graphite/oil pieces but then he takes bright acrylics and splashes it so that, say, a girl's hair is the splashes, or the sound coming from a gramophone is the splashes. But to me, that would be a series I do, not the only way I paint from here on out. You know? I would be so bored with just doing one type of art for the rest of my life and I thought there was something wrong g with me that I didn't ONLY paint creepy things in cardboard boxes, or black and white with acrylic splashes, or melting body parts on lacquered wood. And on top of my usual art I'm also really into Chinese brush painting/Japanese Sumi-e. Are we only allowed to do one "style" for the rest of our lives? If so I will happily be the artist with no personal style.

[@anouschkafabre]

So glad it resonates with you 😍 This collage is sooo far away from what I‘m usually doing and it's such a shame that my brain was like "no you can't do this, it's not your way of doing art". I'm still trying to liberate myself from that stupid thoughts, cause in the end we should make EVERYTHING we want 🧡

[@leni_47429]

yeeeyy, a new video 🤗

You are so good sharing. I just started a KZbin as well and I know it’s hard and inspiring. Congrats on your video making and story telling 🧡 I subscribed and hope to see more.

[@anouschkafabre]

Thank you so so much!! The start is always the most difficult 😅 I think we just need to remember that it is worth it, cause we are just starting to build up our own little corner of the internet, with people that are truly supportive and kind. I just love that so much about KZbin 🥹🧡

[@tinka6468]

I just subscribed! I liked your videos and you seem really "sympathisch" (fellow German here :D), so I'm looking forward to seeing more from you :) I like the typing and clicking sounds, when a text appears on the screen, it's actually helpful to follow^^ Thank you for your thoughts on art style. I feel like I have kind of the opposite "problem", and it kind of helped seeing someone wanting to break out of the idea of having to draw and paint in only one style. I do not have an art style, I can't decide on a medium and I feel like it's important to try different things, mediums, experiment, do what you want and what feels good to you! But as someone who doesn't have a style I think it is important to find some kind of starting point, something, that makes your art your art, something like a style, so that you can start experimenting from there. I long for the feeling of "that's me", "that feels like me". I feel like developing an art style could help with that, with finding your creative voice and being more confident in creating

[@anouschkafabre]

Haha hallooooo 🙆🏼‍♀️ thank you so much for the support!! I think you have a point there - I can totally relate to that feeling of wanting your art to truly feel like It’s „yours“. And as I said, I was really pumped when I found a style that feels like me… Maybe it is more about finding your artistic voice reather than a fix art style 🤔

[@tinka6468]

@@anouschkafabre yes! I like that: finding your artistic voice instead of your style. That’s a nice way to look at it, I’m going to try that 💕
