Overcoming Creative Block -Seeking Inspiration

[@CCinthesky]

Looks like a circular stretched watercolour block. Palette knife works well to separate sheets after painting 🥰

[@angelar3045]

As artists we spend so much time alone in the studio, it’s fun to watch how other artists live. And to see other people enjoy paint and books like I do. Have a lovely Spring!

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Art supplies and books stores are more of a vacation for me than a trip to somewhere special. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Thanks so much for taking us along today, Caro. Loved the new round pad and Cacao. I could live there!

[@lv21987]

I remember when you painted the mural at the cacao shop! It still looks beautiful 💕

[@karolsartoasis4815]

Hi Caro, thanks for this inspiring video. I had a few projects on this year and I had no time for art. To get back into it have been meditating and setting an intention for the day and doing doddles. Thanks for sharing what you do when you experience artist block.

[@ThePattiw]

I found this inspiring for myself 💕 I love that circular watercolour block - I don't think we have that in the art stores where I live but I have to check.

[@kunangsutraagung4850]

Thank you for taking us on an inspirational journey. You videos constantly inspire me to make art and feel deeper into my practice as a whole life and body experience. I also love hearing you switch to Spanish. So cute!

[@herbetard2604]

Love your boho dresses!

[@miriamgillham6701]

I appreciate how much effort you put into your videos and that you care enough to take the time to include us all into your very special art practice. This was a calming one with so much of interest to see and take in. Your flowers at the end were very inspiring as I am in a bit of a need to rethink my current sketches. Thank you Caro.

This was such a lovely and inspiring video. I have been feeling really stuck and constantly feel intimidated to bring out my art supplies. The simplicity of the painting you did made it even more realistic when it comes to consistency over big complicated habits. Only recently I have discovered my rotring ink pens from my college days and made the connection how much more sustainable they are compared to the single use ones :)

[@moriahmylod]

You will need a pallet knife to remove the pages. The reasons they are glued together is because it is meant to be painted on as is, so the water paper doesn’t cockle. Thank you for sharing your lovely inspiration videos, art and life. Cheers!

Thank you for this lovely video ♥️

[@kimberlyloughran1118]

So happy for you. Thank you for sharing your day today! Beautiful round sketchbook ❤️

[@HJPeet]

The round paper looks so fun! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!! :)

[@martacliment7497]

Lovely as Always. I never miss your vídeos! 🌼🥺

[@cindystechschulte1487]

Do u ever smell the paper in your sketchbooks? Or other books? It's something I've always done since I can remember. Something about it is pleasing.

[@watch_the_video_on_my_channel]

I used to have problems with overthinking and creative block, but ever since I started microdosing psilocybin mushrooms it's been great so far. My mind is clearer and my thoughts are more concise. To get started look at the one video on my channel thanks guys 🙏

[@chloefellows1649]

Where did you get your green dress??? It’s lovely

[@sannivanni]

Hey Caro, I always enjoy your vlogs! 🙏🌷Thank you for sharing and taking us with to the bookshop. The book seems really interesting. Oh and this round block... (I'm a watercolor artist so I know... but yeah this can be confusing!!!) you use a Palette knife to open it! 😃🎨 I wish you all the best 🤗☀️

[@merckypenamerckypena3768]

Caro gracias por tus artísticos y mágicos vídeos. La inspiración es algo que también se toma su descanso, pero seguro que tras tu viaje a Perú y en su preciso momento volverás a tenerla y aún más cuando practicas y prácticas. También comparto como tú lo sagrado del cacao, con una guindilla pequeña está riquísimo ☕y completamente medicinal. Abrazos desde España 💚🧡💛💜🤎❤️💙

[@mightygoodmagic]

Thank you soooooo much for what you share, and for being You.... -And if you ever have a class on how to do beautiful video, I'm here for it, lol..... Yours are always the best videos everrrrrrr.....

thank you Isa!!

[@lovelifementoring5399]

Amazing as always xx

[@majickmaddy]

I love the shelves and pegboard, where did you find them?

[@brunasalvaj8697]

Quel blocco rotondo di Magnani l'ho trovato un buon prodotto .Io per staccare il foglio uso la punta di un taglierino cutter piano, piano si stacca senza difficoltà 😉. Bello anche il blocco blu ! A volte i blocchi dell'artista, quando proprio non riesci a concludere nulla o poco , sono un bel problema 🤦🏼‍♀️...sono un esperta in questo ! 😅

[@deborahmeyers551]

Caro thanks for sharing your awesome vids 💜 I loved this one really inspired me to get my sketchbook out and do some relaxing doodles I love flowers especially wild ones I'm going to gave a doodle I'm writing this into my diary date with myself 💜

[@Caro.Arevalo]

So lovely to read this Deborah! I'd love to know more about your practice of having a diary date with yourself

[@deborahmeyers551]

@@Caro.Arevalo thanks for sharing Caro💜 The 'Diary Date with myself 📅 'I keep a journal and I make a date to do this twice a week at my Sacred Space Altar I sit with awareness asking for healing and compassion for everyone and everything on our Sacred planet also protection for the voiceless animals and also giving gratitude for all that we already have and know..💜 I usually always get inspiring ideas for an issue that gets simplistically answered for me I write this down to celebrate and give gratitude in my second 'Diary Date with myself' have a lovely weekend 💜

[@ambercarlijn]

Such a great relaxing video! ❤️ Does anyone know the name of the ink pen, I can’t catch the name, thank you!!

[@man86ify]

I always wonder if one can use acrylic paint to color something on a sketch book.

[@buddhabro.9130]

Hi Caro! Fabulous art vlog as always. I have a question. I've been listening to various different bruja's online talk about crystals and how they carry different energies depending on which type it is. I'm thinking about using different types of crystals as art tools; paint application, scratching lines on surfaces, and so on. Do you have any experience working with crystal energies in your artwork? I noticed you had a green crystal holding down your sketchbook page when you were painting. :)

[@Caro.Arevalo]

Hiii! I am not very knowledgeable on crystals, and the little collection I have is all made from gifts :)

[@sulamith105]

Una idea- también una tela tejida como estilo trenza en la silla?! Algo original y earth friendly!

[@mihaeladeioni6000]

Hi,Caro!what colors did you use: watercolors or acrylics?

[@Caro.Arevalo]

gouache mixed with a little watercolor 🤍

Caro, I love your videos and I identified a lot with the cocoa ritual, but I'm having trouble finding face-to-face communities in Miami or cities around Miami. Do you know any cocoa riual communities around here?

Hi Moni! My friend Viv holds cacao ceremonies in Miami :) you can look into her work here: instagram.com/the_viv/

Dónde conseguiste tu vestido? Siempre que lo veo me encanta, se ve bien comfortable

[@Caro.Arevalo]

graciaaas :) este vestido fue un regalo de la marca austaliana "daughters of india"

[@recyclecouture]

Your paintings look so real. I have a question.....how do you keep your plants alive and have cats? I have lost many a plant to my cats; especially my calico June. I think she thinks it is her mission in life to destroy my plants. So I plant outside. On your chair that is falling apart. I have a chair I wrapped with used men's ties. Have a great weekend.

[@Caro.Arevalo]

Both my cat friends have crossed the rainbow bridge 🤍 but when they where around they where not really into the plants! Whenever there was a very specific plant they'd like to chew (like my bromeliad) I'd make sure to put in high up where they couldn't chew on it :)

[@recyclecouture]

@@Caro.Arevalo I am so sorry I didn't realize they have both crossed. I have 1 that will be 16 in May. Thanks for advise.
