[@RosieKuhnPhD]

I cried watching this video. Your generous spirit, your transparency, your belief is who we are in all ways. Your delight and dedication have transformed me. I’m always inspired by you and John. I’m always connected to my work as a painter just that much more, because of you two being available to us all the ways you are. Thank you!!!

You're welcome, it is our pleasure 💛

[@cherryjohnson9733]

Thank you for sharing your story with us. You are not only a beautiful painter but a beautiful person as well. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do what you have done with your teaching videos etc. Thank you so much for giving yourself so that we can learn to paint and become better Artists. You have a precious heart and your story has touched my heart. Thank you John for all you do to make the videos successful with the camera shots etc. You are both amazing. 💜

[@TheArtSherpa]

You are so totally welcome 🤍 And thank you 😍

[@sherriemacisaac2219]

I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us. !! This is my first AA and I can't wait !!

[@TheArtSherpa]

You are so welcome!🌸

[@andrealandry8784]

Thank you for this. This was so important to hear your struggles. Of course you make everything look so effortless now and it can be frustrating for new painters to see that and think we can do that as easily. It really is so helpful to know that you struggled AND that it all paid off. It's a great lesson to know that the more you put your brush to the canvas, the more things will be realized and abilities will grow. Also great to hear confirmation that we curate our work and don't like to show anyone things we don't like. Thanks for sharing this!

[@TheArtSherpa]

😍😍😍😍

[@MHarenArt]

Cinnamon, John, I didn't see this before Acrylic April started this time. Don't know how I missed it. But wanted to say - this is one of the most inspiring videos I've ever seen for painters. And really for anyone. In fact, I listened to it again this morning. I'm going to share it with everyone!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you both! Your generosity with your art classes and your encouragement are unsurpassed!!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

It is absolutely our pleasuure, thank you 🌹

[@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta]

It's touch painting every day but just to put the brush to canvas every day WILL make a difference! Very cool challenge! I'll give it a shot!!!! 🥰🥰

[@TheArtSherpa]

Go for it 🌹

[@kimscales5150]

I am so grateful that you and john do what you do and i am just so happy that you don't charge for everything, as i am on a senior budget, and not much and sick husband, i just want to say thank you both and please keep up the great work , love all that you have done ,

[@TheArtSherpa]

You are so welcome amd we are semdomg you and your hubby all the love and light 🤎

[@rainy5053]

I've been waiting for this since August when I found you and your mom!! 🥰🥰

[@TheArtSherpa]

💓💓

[@paint_freckles]

Cinnamon and John thank you so much. thank you for showing your early paintings and story. i've been painting with you since late 2019. i have a degree in advertising and worked in that field in graphics/marketing/sales for a while and a love for art since i was very young. in college in the 90's i was so jealous of the artist walking around campus with their portfolios but i NEVER thought I could paint or draw!! you were the first teacher i found. i have a chronic illness and this has been my life line. if i didn't have art seriously don't know what i would do. i now have my own room dedicated to art. my dad jumped in and made me a beautiful easel and drawing desk. i've branched out to different media but acrylic is my love. i just can't thank you enough for what you do!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

Wow that is so sweet Angie Thank you very much. I am so touched to read your story here. Love that you have space now just for your creativity

[@charityc384]

So inspiring! I been in a slump for awhile and this makes me want to get started on daily painting. I love all your Acrylic Aprils! I strive to be even half as good as you one day. Thank you for teaching us to paint. For Free! You and Jon are amazing! ✌️❤️🎨

[@everettsmith6788]

Literally ,ever time you do something you get better at some aspect of what your doing. It's just time over effort. 🤷 just keep in mind that every painting isn't gonna be a masterpiece. That's just how it is for Everyone.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Our pleasure, and remember, I have been painting for years and years. I was a beginner once too. Don't give up 🌻

[@christinadefrancesco3698]

Thank you so much for being so transparent. I’ve fallen out of practice with my painting for various reasons and it’s so encouraging to hear about your journey. I’m so thankful you’re on KZbin! I also think it’s amazing that you can talk and paint at the same time😆. You’ve inspired me to get back to it. Thanks for all you do and all you share for free. Your work and knowledge is greatly appreciated. 💚

I really love this video …. You put things in greater perspective for me… I don’t have to be perfect in order to start but by starting I can learn to be better in my art journey. I’m always thinking and watching art tutorials but I get in my own way and I don’t want to do that anymore. So thank you for this video … you have a beautiful heart and you help me and so many … 👏🏼❤️

[@TheArtSherpa]

So totally welcome 🌷

[@juliabinford6500]

Seeing this was amazing. It really touched me that you opened up about how you built the skills to teach us. My first Acrylic April was last year, which was land and water. I learned so much. I’m excited about flowers. Thank you both!

[@TheArtSherpa]

Our absolute pleasure 💟

[@elanamarino2624]

@@TheArtSherpa please look back to your very first landscape you posted, it's now deleted...I was the very first to leave a comment. That landscape is better than any painting in your list now.. You were a realistic landscape painter, you changed because of popularity and employees telling you what to paint... Just have a look back at it.... I knew from that first video you were going to be popular... But again the employees have changed who you are as a painter. You were or thought you were going to be representing woman painters of the landscape, sea and clouds like a Ross but with acrylic... This is honest feedback only, of all your lessons theres not one that I can pick to want to follow along to. The subject matter and color mixing is too much of those paint and sip style... A painters works stand out from all because of their ability to mix color and their signature brushstrokes. You lost your way and people changed who you are as a painter.

[@barbaradeffee3062]

You make me want to strive for more. You're inspiring and amazing. Thank you so much.

[@jacquipollard7050]

When I was let go from a job I had been at for twenty one years . I was happy but scared because I was going to reopen my art school that I had over 30 years ago( first school I taught for 15years). I taught fine art classes , sketching, oils, pastel, watercolors, acrylic, color pencils and sculpture. When people came into the studio and asked about paint parties I had no idea what they were talking about. My daughter now in her 40s suggested I google paint parties are watch youtube. That's the first time I saw you and was amazed. So I tried one of the paintings you did with a sun flower and a Van Gogh style.It took me a bit of time pausing and painting. My daughter asked if I would help her,which I did.. Of course it took hours but we had such a wonderful time. I still have a fine art studio but I've learned by watching you how to do a painting party class. Thank you so much!!!!! you are so right the more you paint and sketch the better you become!!!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

I love that you brought this up because painting in your studio is so different than simplifying a design and breaking it down into micro bits for students who have a variety of experience with art. I love that I was able to help you with that part of your create a process. Big hugs to your daughter to

[@jacquipollard7050]

I love your heart and spirit! You are so encouraging to us new artist. Love, too, that you are doing flowers. I find them harder than anything. Can’t wait to get started! ❤️

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you so much!🌻

[@fromdebsstudio2022]

It is so coincidental that your theme this year is bloom. I just started a 24x30 potted something or another. So far I have the pot and some heart shaped vine plants flowing over the side of the pot. I wanted to do last years AA, but yeah, I had just gotten back to work and would be so tired after. I still have the 8x8 canvas boards so, I'll try again this year (I'm only working part time so hopefully). So yeah, Bloom, will be a major help for me. I hope there are not just flowers, but some leafy elements as well.

[@TheArtSherpa]

It encompasses everything I believe 🌺

Nice

[@jennygilbert5388]

Thank You Cinnamon for sharing your daily painting journey I think it gives me more confidence I have started about 50 paintings and give up about half way through I always think they are not going as well as yours or others but my family always tells me they are good I am going to try to do this I might need alot of encouragement along the way though thanks again

[@TheArtSherpa]

You can do it and we tend to be our own wors critic, so don't give up 💕

Coming back we stopped at every History Marker we could and just imagined what it would have been like. For the My partner I need to rewatch the video but usually I mean John.

[@nikkiclark175]

you are such an inspiration and I love that you showed your not so great work. I've been in a huge slump lately and everything I paint I HATE it, like I feel like a 5 year old could do better. I've been trying to paint from reference but it's just not working out. I need to start painting along with you because I felt that my painting were decent and I've even sold a couple of them!!. I'm just an average painter and only paint like once or twice a week but lately I've just stared at my canvas and think, I can't do this. I love you and I'm going to try and paint every day along with you on the acrylic April. Thank you for being you and I think you're amazing!!

Hi Cinnamon, I am so interested for this year’s painting theme. I understand where you mention the difference between the very first pig that you painted and the difference between the most recent one. I get what practicing means and also ‘ just paint along means’. I will paint along for sure, I have got my traceable printed and have also watched the preview of the background and the whole bit, I am so ready and excited now. Thank you for sharing your very personal story, I hope and pray you feel better and that your cough just goes away. Wishing you all the best in life. 😀💕💕
