Depression | Art Therapy Painting Tutorial [REAL TIME]

[@GameReviewsXX]

Ever since I discovered the Bob Ross videos, I've been enthralled in watching all painting tutorial videos all over KZbin. This is one of my favourites. I'm glad I found this channel.

[@rawdaahmed6594]

[@asdfghjklpeenerful]

i think one of the best parts of using art for therapy is that you focus on it for hours and your mind can’t think of anything else. it’s awesome to paint on a bad day because it makes the day end sooner if that makes sense haha

[@Shadingoftheheart]

Thank you for bringing this to light (pun intended). My family has a history of depression that frequently leads to suicidal thoughts and feelings. Growing up, it wasn't talked about and I attempted to take my life before I turned 22. My daughters are 18 and 19 now and have been raised in an environment where mental health is freely discussed and not stigmatized. We were able to identify the signs early with both of them and began therapy in middle school. Bless you for being so transparent and vulnerable via your art and your KZbin channel -- awareness, acceptance and early intervention is the only way we will ever see a decrease in suicide rates and attempts.

[@KatieJobling]

Sorry to hear you've struggled with depression too, it seems most do at some point. That's amazing that you have created that open and free environment for your teen daughters. I feel passionate about creating these tutorials and giving somewhere for our depression to 'be'. Thanks for your comment and for sharing with us!

[@tatianagonzalez718]

My depression/stress/anxiety came back recently and it’s been hitting me extremely hard! When I found this video, I was sitting in my room crying & just wanting to paint. This video helped calm me down so much! I wish there were more b/c whether I paint along or not, they truly are just calming to the mind, body, & soul. I love your videos & I hope see to see more of these painting therapy ones soon ❤️

[@dell4277]

I JUST FOUND THIS TUTORIAL AND I MUST SAY ..FOR ME..THERE IS SOMETHING SO RELAXING ABOUT THIS...VERY RELAXING...

[@Bouncethemouse]

Brilliant. Just found this. Just started painting. 33 years of mental health challenges. 🙏thank you.

[@nlilifairweather8397]

You are a treasure.. Your openness yourself inspires me. I love your tutorials and marvel at the beauty of your paintings.

[@Gabeloveyou]

100% disabled for PTSD. I share your pain. You inspire; hang of every word. Bless you.

[@maryjozurawski8318]

Had an awfully stressful day at clinic. Coming home to cozy up with a cuppa and watching you paint made my day fade away. Ready for bed. Bless you and thank you!

[@kristablanco8077]

I have been enjoying your painting tutorials so much. They are not only helpful, calming and fun, but you are great at narrating as you paint. Which really is helpful to follow along. Thank you.

[@roberthines1692]

Katie I just absolutely love your videos I’m 61 years old and been painting all my life I think of all the videos out there on KZbin you always seem to inspire me.Please keep up the great work.😀

[@amylathwell9534]

This is really lovely. I totally agree that art can help greatly with anxiety and depression. Of all the painting subjects, night skies are my absolutely favourite so I really love this one!

[@janetpaints3002]

I love all your tutorials have struggled in the past with anxiety and problems of self worth. Painting helps and now after many years are coping even after the loss of my daughter three years ago who suffered terribly. I love your honesty and way of explaining so thank you for your time xxx

[@nanalinda2020]

Thank you for your transparency. I love these videos.I am new to painting and you have helped me grow a lot.

[@daveh2208]

I love the relaxed style of your instruction, Katie.

[@Rhaivanna996]

I’m going through a break up and well, I am thankful your video exist. This is really helping me clear my mind. I too suffer from anxiety and depression. It’s quite arduous to say this about my health but I’m elated your art therapy soothes my health. Again, thank you .

[@studio-989]

Well done Katie! I really enjoyed your video and choice of color pallet for this today! Thank you so much!

[@teampartyversion2.061]

[@EllaPesonenArt]

Love this idea 💕 I can vouch for art's power to make you feel better. It's just great to have an outlet at that point and painting at least for me always cheers me up.

[@KatieJobling]

🙌🏻 Yesss!

[@arts2crafts]

This is the best painting of night sky and galaxy I've seen on youtube ! Beautiful :) Thanks a lot for sharing I am a beginner and will definitely try this

[@thelmamarsh8907]

Katie, every now and then a genius is born, sometimes it is inherited from parents , and sometimes it just comes from nowhere. I hope you appreciate being a genius and do well in the future with your wonderful talent. Kind regards Thelma (Australia)

[@maylee8696]

Thank you so much for these Art Therapy vids Katie! They have been so calming to watch. Can't wait to try them out 💛

Your work makes me happy and I am grateful to you for sharing your knowledge and understanding of your beautiful artwork

[@nanalinda2020]

Thank you for your transparency about your anxiety and depression. I suffer from those as well. As a relatively new painter, these have been enlightening, instructional and relaxing. 🤩

[@MyLifeInTheDesert]

You are such a talented and lovely human. Thanks for these videos!

[@karenharvey2549]

I like your painting and admire you for opening up about depression, it invites other to worked though their stuff with art. I worked through my anxiety/depression/PTSD with a Journal Therapist, then later I did some training and have facilitated a writing for wellbeing group for some years. Lots of members were lapsed artist/crafters so we decided to do a collage with words workshop earlier this year. Everyone loved it so much we have an arty/creative/word workshop about one a month we all feel the benefit. Warm wishes, Karen

[@KatieJobling]

Thank you Karen, wow that sounds really amazing! Well done 🙌🏻 you will have changed many lives for sure 😍

[@cathypainter7429]

love this series of mental health paintings Kate.

[@hearttidd9275]

I used to draw and try to paint and its been almost 3-4 years since I've drawn or even looked at art and so ive been watching people painting because I really want to get back into it. When I saw this I was amazed. Keep doing what you do, your amazing!

[@sandyworsham]

Just found you! You helped me tonight watching u paint the reddish skies and stars. I was really stuck in depression tonight. I needed something to get me out of this cycle. You helped tremendously! Thank you. I will follow you seriously. Til then........ keep talking while you paint. New Artist on Line Sandy

[@wandamanske8667]

You’re painting is so relaxing and beautiful.

[@amandacoman6778]

Katie,I'm a chronic depression sufferer as well as dealing with fibro wide spread pain. In my deepest depression painting often pulls me through. I'm anxious to try your method of painting and I hope you make more videos like this in the future.Knowing I'm not alone in my mental disorder is comforting.

[@KatieJobling]

Hi Amanda! Thank you for sharing your pain and experiences, I’m sure your comment will help others feel less alone ❤️ so glad to hear painting helps you through, there’s something magical about it for sure. Sending you positive vibes 🌸🙌🏻

That blending part really is magical 😍✨👌

[@KatieJobling]

😍 Paint is magical in so many ways! ✨

[@marcossakaguti]

Big like. Especially for calling it a nebula and not a galaxy. There are so many artists who make videos called "How to paint a galaxy" and they paint a nebula. :-)

[@claudinevandamme4809]

Very nice again a wonderful idea to share it with us, what a plesure to listen to you, you got a lovely voice Katie. So calming. ... Thank you .

[@fairydust22002]

These tutorials are a great idea, and so lovely

[@lev4392]

I love the idea of this video:) I think one of the great things about the art community is that it is not only a place to share interest in art, but it has also been a source of support for me (and I think others) who struggle with mental health issues.

[@julienorton1067]

Hi Katie. Thank you for sharing your life dealing with anxiety. Art really does help people struggling with their mental health. This painting was magic. 🌌💖. Also I advocate getting out in nature. These two activities really and truly help. Thanks again for sharing. 🎨🐶🐾

[@cindychambers1588]

LOVE the colors and the blending technique. Beautiful painting Katie! Thanks!

[@michaelmadison883]

Katie. Great work. Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy painting along with them.

BTW, I find that Golden's Payne's Grey is just so beautiful. That and Quinacridone Magenta. If you can only afford two tube from Golden those are the two to get for sure :)

Katie, I can't tell you how much this series means to me. They came at a perfect time in my life. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and helping me heal. Your work is incredible and beautiful. Sending love from across the pond in the mountain West!

[@atokea77777]

Bonjour Katie. Je suis bien contente pour vous que la peinture vous aide à dépasser des passages de chutes de moral. C'est le bienfait de réaliser une activité qui apporte du plaisir, qui fait que l'on se sent mieux et tant mieux. Cela dit, il ne ne parait pas justifié d'utiliser le terme d'art-thérapie pour cette activité. l'Art thérapie est une pratique de soin qui est réalisée dans un cadre bien particulier avec un professionnel art-thérapeute formé, expérimenté et certifié. C'est un traitement qui est focalisé sur l'aspect psychique de l'individu et qui a pour support le médium artistique. Ce n'est pas le médium peinture qui soigne. C'est un peu comme si vous vouliez faire de l'automédecine. Il est nécessaire de se pouvoir se décentrer avec un tiers. Il y a un process bien particulier engendré qui ne peut se faire seul avec soi meme. C'est comme les fameux carnets de dessins que l'on trouve dans les magasins en France qui sont titrés Art thérapie. C'est un abus de langage et une utilisation inappropriée de l'Art thérapie à des fins commerciales. Il me parait important de préciser cela d'autant que l'art thérapie a pris un essor important ces dernieres années, et qu'il est tout aussi important de redonner la consistance qui est la sienne a une pratique therapeutique a part entiere. Tout comme vous ne faites pas juste de la peinture, mais vous Katie vous pratiquez un art pictural à part entière. C'est avec de la bienveillance dans le coeur que je vous écris. Bien à vous.

[@j.l.walden9918]

[@i010792]

Love love love this!!! I painted it today and it turned out lovely. I adore your tutorials and how well you explain everything. I’ve been painting for about 6 months and you’ve been my favorite teacher! THANK YOU!!!!

[@chronicmodifier]

Thank you so much for these tutorials. You have given me the courage to paint for real. It's been amazing to see what I can do. I always get these voices in my head telling me I am not good enough before I start any paiting. Listening to you has shown me that I can push past that and make good art. Thank you

[@ericgrant1593]

Rajgauri Vedpathak ....Lol? Why not? You could use a stick to paint with. A rock. A rag. Your hands. Doesn’t matter. Just get the paint on the canvas. Makeup brushes are just brushes

thank you so much, even tho its from a few years ago. It really helped me with my deppresion, all the tips. I actually suffer from depression but i hide it, no one needs to know, even my family doesn't. i am so happy i found this channel. Even just you talking makes me calm down. And I'm sad that you had to go trough this stuff thats called anxiety and depresion too. I hope that it helps other people too, and that you will keep making these kind of videos. p.s this might be deleted later because i dont want everyone to know what i want to say

I just stumbled across your channel. I instantly subbed. I watched the whole thing, I was mesmerised. I read another person’s comment. I too suffer from depression and chronic pain/illness I used to be an art teacher and consider myself an artist but find it very hard to paint as I am now mostly bedridden. I was so inspired by this painting Katie, I paint exactly the way you did in this painting. 😊 I will be watching all your videos and try very hard to create something soon. Thanks for helping me find enthusiasm for art again.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
