So powerful and just what I needed. To figure out my WHY and stop listening to all the other shoulds and must dos. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing such an amazing encouragement.

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you so much. I'm so glad this came at just the right time for you. Thanks for being here!

This evolved so beautifully! ❤thank you for sharing

[@Barbarachocolate1956]

Absolutely outstanding! AND , so is your hair! Love the color and style. You are gorgeous!

[@Mysharona62]

Amazing! It felt like you were pouring your heart and soul in the piece. The mark making seems so meditative and brings in such life. The Why is such an important thing to explore and embrace. Have a lovely week!

[@ShawnPetite]

Thanks my friend, it was such a quitet meditative time! Have a great rest of your week!

[@chriszar2173]

I love how your style is evolving. Thanks for sharing the journey with us! 💖

[@joannedipietrantonio6433]

GM, thank you for sharing your journey. I am always intrigued by your inspiration. I as well push myself to do the better in all aspects of my life and try my hardest to avoid the lazy distractions.

[@ValerieFisk]

Shawn, i've been subscribed and following for quite a while now and so often i tune in and am bowled over by the power of your message. Please know that you have truly brought joy and peace to my life. This may just be one of the only videos that i watch again because it speaks to me so much. "What is my why?" - that is so succinct and is a question that i'm always trying to find the answer too. I'm also going to send this to a highly qualified German psychologist friend of mine who was asking me the other day about why i journal and how i learn. It's all here. 🙏

[@marilynanderson7792]

I am very grateful that part of your why is to encourage us to find our why and then to have the courage to follow that why. So much of what you said way so good and helpful.

[@ShawnPetite]

I'm so glad it's helpful! I hope you have a creative week!

[@ginamccracken5380]

You know how they say that the eyes are the window to the soul? When I create my art, I kinda feel like that analogy because I feel like my artwork is exposing me to who I truly am on the inside and I mean that in a positive way. 😊

[@ShawnPetite]

Yes so true!

[@virginiagettemeier5198]

I’ve always enjoyed watching you design beautiful pages. Thank you for all you do! ❤

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you so much, that's so kind. Thanks for being here and sharing the journey!

[@JeanetteSalibArtist]

[@VintageArtist]

You are so relatable Shawn. Thank you for finding your Why. I can now understand why painting is so important to me...its healing me. Also, I had to smile, we have the same hair color and style😅

[@mariemargueritebrickner7631]

Thank you Shawn! Needed this sharing!

[@cindycreateforlife]

I just fell right into this piece, watching it go from hard to soft in the beginning was mesmerizing. I found it was like a meditation as you added more colours and patterns with stencils and then your mark making, taking it all higher and higher! You really are meant to encourage others and you do, your message speaks to why so many people are struggling these days, they don’t know their why! Thank you for a beautiful, inspiring video and I hope you have a great week ahead!💕🇨🇦

[@ShawnPetite]

Thanks my friend! This was so relaxing to create. You always keep me encouraged, thank you for that! Hugs!

Amazing art piece and amazing life lesson! Thank you!

[@ShawnPetite]

Thanks Annette, I hope you have a peaceful and creative week!

[@777dhunt]

Understanding there needs to be a clearly defined "why" and seeing how you progress through your art piece feels very comforting. Thank you. I'd love to know what the music is, so peaceful!

[@ShawnPetite]

Thank you! I pay for my music from Artlist so that I can have a copyright license.

My fellow Ohioan! Thanks for watching. Thinking and hoping of lots of sunny days ahead for us! We'll more sunny days than we've had!! lol.

[@christinehermann4929]

20:51 I am so frustrated and lost. I want to create but no matter what I do I can’t find my creativity. I want to enjoy creating. I feel like I’m trying to hard and I can’t let go and enjoy just trying. I know I have it in me but it is not coming easily. I’m starting to stress myself out. It tends to go hand in hand with my depression and it doesn’t help that I am a perfectionists. How do I get out of this rut? I was able to create maybe six months ago, and I so desperately want that back. This is the first video of yours that I listened to and I really liked it.

[@ShawnPetite]

Hi Christine, I'm so sorry you in this season. We all have those seasons... but I know for me just showing up and putting down a splash of paint or using a marker to make a line, or just doing one ugly thing in a journal or piece of paper can be the start to breaking the hesitation to create. I know that depression can be a tricky and a hard thing to navigate and it can affect our art and all areas of life. My husband deals with depression. I'm not a therapist or a doctor but I know when I'm dealing with anxiety due to so much of my perfectionist ways.... I just do one thing in my journal. Then the next day I do one more thing on the same page, and the next day one more thing..... I do this with the full intention painting over it. My goal it to make bad art. I wouldn't even call it art. I make bad stuff. It always gets me started out of the tunnel of doubt. I don't know if this will help and I hope that you are able to work with someone with regards to your depression and truly take care of you first that's the most important thing.

[@christinehermann4929]

@@ShawnPetite thank you so much.

[@valeriesummers3809]

Thank you for the lovely video. Why do you use airbrush medium and what uses does it have other than keeping the applicator from clogging?

[@ShawnPetite]

I only use if for my applicator. I've tried water and other mediums and nothing works like it. I've had that mixture in my pen for months. And some I've had the mixture of paint and airbrush medium for years. No clogging.

[@denisevance1045]

Do you mix your own palette colors in your bottles and do you dilute them?

[@ShawnPetite]

my paints in the bottle are house paints. I did a color match of the artist paints that I love. Then took them to home depot and color matched them. I get them in a matte finish and get the tester size. Now that I've been using them I get the quart size. But I started with test size. They are medium body, not as fluid and fluid acrylic but not as heavy as heavy body. I didn't water them down when I put them in my bottles. Some paints I could get a color match that I like (paynes gray and raw umber) But everything else is working wonderfully. Hope this helps.

[@lynnarmeneau4955]

What is the name of the white pen you are using?

[@ShawnPetite]

It's a fine line applicator 20g. you can get it on amazon
