Thanks Crystal! Very helpful info.. ❤

[@crystaltanart]

You're welcome Heather!

[@MarySparkle]

You definitely have a style, Crystal. I know because I recognized your art via one of your "shorts" videos without seeing your name with it. Your style is lovely and very recognizable.

[@crystaltanart]

Oh thank you! It’s so lovely to hear a feedback like this. 😘

[@Linda-kh6rl]

Thanks Lisa!!!

[@sherryfurr9115]

This is great. I have listened to several finding your styles videos but this one made the most sense to me. Thank you.

[@crystaltanart]

Oh wow Im so happy to hear it resonates with people! It's such a cool journey- this whole art thing. I have endless things to say about it! hahaha.

[@dijosephine9556]

So interesting. Thank you

[@crystaltanart]

Many thanks!

[@katieakr]

I love your philosophy of art!

[@crystaltanart]

Thanks so much!

[@erindunwell4767]

Thanks so much Crystal! That was such a beautiful message, I've been struggling trying to find my style and I think I've been putting too much pressure on myself which is taking away the joy, and the joy is the whole point for me. I'm going to give myself time to play with all the styles that interest me and grow into the artist I am 🧘‍♀️🌈💜

[@crystaltanart]

I'm so glad! You know, you probably already have a style but just don't know it yet. We all do inherently. I see alot of beginners feed on insta, and although they are doing tutorials of other teachers, they ALREADY have a style. It's just harder to see it on our own. Its easier for others to see it. Keep your intuition honed, and you'll know!

[@tracyebrandt3235]

Great chat Crystal! Thank you for validating what goes thru my mind while painting😊 and giving us permission to "go our own path." Example, I keep trying to use Hookers Green, thinking that it will grow on me, because soooo many people use it - and I just don't like it. I am now going to remove it from my pallette 🙃. You are an inspiration and I really enjoy these chats!!!!

[@crystaltanart]

Love the hookers green example you gave. So true! I have that in my palette too just coz people have said to use and try it. But it's just not what I go for most often at all. Time to swap it out with something! Thanks so much for watching Tracy! X

[@Kass268]

I loved your points on how to find our style. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Love your videos and your art.

[@crystaltanart]

You are so welcome!

[@barbaraross3660]

Dear Crystal, I appreciate being able to listen to your advice about watercolor and the techniques you share. I'm in Florida, 4 old Potbellied Pigs to care for, so my time at present isn't what I want it to be. But 2 or 3 may not be here much longer. But that's ok because we have cared for them for about 18 or more years. I just wish that I had more time to paint. Maybe not much longer.👍🏻 Not that I don't care for them. Anyway, please continue to share your techniques. Greatly appreciated.☺️

[@crystaltanart]

Being a caregiver of another, whether of the human or animal kind is a great great responsibility and an amazing gift you are giving another. 18 years is a long time! More time will come. We all live in different seasons of life. Try and grab a few mins here and there.

[@Angie-pl3uw]

Thank you so much. I loved the floppy dagger!!

[@crystaltanart]

Its really fun and crazy!

[@katie_a1075]

Your channel is so therapeutic for me. You articulate these emotions and struggles that I have as a artist that feel difficult to explain to the people in my life who aren’t artists. Watercolor is my first love and my artistic foundation, but I have explored so many styles and mediums over the years. And although I don’t have a perfectly cohesive portfolio of work, I know in my heart that I have to continue exploring and evolving at the pace my creativity chooses.

[@crystaltanart]

Beautifully put Katie! - Everything in our own pace. :) Thanks for watching and glad you resonate.

Aw thanks!!!!

[@karengrace5038]

Thank you! I needed to hear all of these things so much!

[@crystaltanart]

You're so welcome Karen! What do you resonate most with?

[@karengrace5038]

@@crystaltanart I'm still figuring it out. I'm a beginner as I've only been painting for a year. I do love painting tiny florals.

[@crystaltanart]

@@karengrace5038 Hahaha I love that ! Know what you love. And do that.

[@annickpugibet2086]

Hello cristal. Je suis émerveillé de t'entendre partager ton ressenti pour ton art. C'est vraiment magnifique ce que tu peint. Tu es celle dont je veux suivre pour apprendre la peinture à l'eau. Congratulations from tahiti.

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! And from Tahiti! Wow :)

Thank you so much Grace. Glad it resonated!

[@gerrycook7566]

Thank you. Very interesting. Hadn’t thought about having a style. But I guess I do.

[@crystaltanart]

Yes we all do!

[@lydialee2023]

I really enjoyed this chat, I feel I can relate to you a lot. The best part of finding your style is about the journey instead of the destination as there can be more than one destination. X

[@crystaltanart]

Thanks for staying up to watch this in your UK time! I am enjoying making these chatty videos. I think so do you too. And I love watching and listening to other artists make sense of all these crazy things in our world.

[@lydialee2023]

@@crystaltanart Indeed, it´s fun to share experiences, I am gonna make a video about my art journey as well, please stay tuned. X

[@EliLoveGems]

Thank you soooo much for that video! It is such a relief as I was questionning myself about my style and about the fact of doing step-by-step tutorials since the beginning- 4 months ago 😅 and will definately keep your smart advices and wisdom in mind along my journey. Thank you.

[@crystaltanart]

You are so welcome! You're only 4 months in so don't you worry! In my other video - 10 tips for watercolour Beginners, I talk about how you will know when to transition from step by step tutorials to painting from a reference image quite soon. And the trick is to just DIVE IN! Enjoy this wonderful journey!

[@EliLoveGems]

@@crystaltanart thank you so much I will watch that one for sure I have juste discovered you today

[@lindawiedemann5014]

Thank you, Crystal:) idk where you've been, but I'm so glad I found you! You make so much sense, and you're down to earth, and you're a gem of an artist! I subscribed after the first time I listened to you, that says alot!

[@crystaltanart]

You are so so so welcome! Im so grateful for wonderful encouraging comments like yours. I just only started my channel less than 2 months ago! And am loving this journey so far :) Thank you for subbing!

[@annedemik4446]

Lovely! Makes me more secure and confident in my path to get to my own style. Thanks ❤

[@crystaltanart]

You are so welcome! Glad to hear Xxx

[@jas0409]

Thank you so much. Just followed you on Instagram. I shoot flowres but when it comes to painting, its landscapes for me. Though for the last 10 days or so, have been dabbling in flowers.

[@crystaltanart]

That's beautiful! I dabble a bit in landscapes too. But find myself always back to flowers coz I just love bright colours! And landscapes tend to me a bit more subdued.

[@jas0409]

@@crystaltanart yes they definitely are more subdued. Hence I avoid snowy landscapes! Would love to see some of your landscapes. I have a flower account on Instagram, maybe you could use some as a reference? Would make me happy.

[@andreatorraca8755]

Is that a book on flowers on your desk? Like this chat..

[@crystaltanart]

Yes! Its called The Book Of Flowers, paintings by Pierre Joseph Redoute. I'll be making a video of all my fav floral books soon!

[@cutley427]

Loved this! Totally agree with everything you’ve said. Your way of presenting this topic clarifies in my own mind what I have been trying to come to terms with since starting my journey with first acrylics several years ago, and now watercolors!

[@crystaltanart]

I'm so glad! I knew what I was saying isn't rocket science, but I know most of us artists already sorta feel that way.

[@brushmovement]

I really enjoyed this chat :) I can relate to some of these points! I love how you get to the point and go for what you believe in. It's nice to hear your thoughts and insights! Thank you for sharing this ❤❤

[@crystaltanart]

Thank you so much Jill! Means a lot coming from you babe. X

[@Sharon_L]

Thank you for making this video Crystal, I found it really helpful having all of your thoughts about this topic explained so clearly and concisely. Loved it! x

[@crystaltanart]

Your welcome Daisy! Glad it resonated :)

[@lenaalexandersson5615]

Like this chatt, o and I have that book on your desk. Funny when I painted with oil it was tiny small pencil and my teacher sad go big😂. He was painting big 😅 now with water colors I have gone bigger and I just experienced what you were talking about did that won’t do it again and some I did and thought like that❤❤

[@crystaltanart]

Yes! It can be so confusing when you're "taught" to do this and do that. It's ART! And we can do whatever we want with it. Thats the beauty of art and how we all get to our own unique style. Doing what we like!

[@lmoore2828]

What was the flower book called that is on your table as you are talking?

[@crystaltanart]

It's called The Book Of Flowers by Pierre Joseph Redoute!

[@zainebmasood4169]

Thank you Crystal..I am so so scared of not making something besutiful or perfect that I DONT PAINT. Furthermore do you paint flowers fro. Pictures taken or you do it from actual blooms.

[@crystaltanart]

I paint mostly from photos. But sometimes with actual LIVE flowers. You can watch my other videos and see how I do it!
