How to know what to do? 💫Watercolor Painting, Talk about Logic & Philosophy 🎠 Cozy Art Vlog

[@valerielin]

Hey guys, thank you so much for creating this space for me to express my thoughts in this way. I wasn’t sure if you would like the talking part, I love you 🥲🤍 I worked on a new creation pack: it includes a 130 minute detailed painting demo with voiceover and live commentary, where I explain what I‘m exactly doing to create this painting. It’s filmed like my KZbin Videos, multiple angles in a comfortable environment! 🍵🎨 There are also Tutorial Sheets included, where I show you how I work with my reference, which compositional rules I followed, a step by step guide on how to paint glowing objects and much more. Check it out on www.patreon.com/valerielin to support my work It’s available at a discount price till the end of this month 💫 It will be gone from Patreon and available at a higher price on my website. Still working on it :) 🔧✨

[@kristina3threat]

I absolutely LOVE your videos, sweet Valerie. I look forward to them every time! Once again you seemed to nail perspective on situations I’m dealing with *right now*. Thank you!

[@EvieMasterton]

Your videos always leave me with a refreshed mind. I love to think about the topics you discuss. This was a great video!

[@jessicaangelesart]

Great video!! I love your aesthetic and style so much❤❤❤I wish I could be as good as you someday 🙏🙏🙏 more success on your journey!!

[@ramooyeido1772]

Wow, you are too beautiful whomever sees you shall believe that God is real, and whenever I see you I am always in a dream, and when we wake up we all will realize that all this life was nothing but a dream and that only God is whats true and real. I dont know how can atheists believe that such a beauty queen came from monkeys hahaha 😄 عن الإمام علي "عليه السلام": عَجِبتُ لمن شك في الله، وهو يرى خلق الله Imam Ali, peace be upon him, said: I wonder at the man-man/women-who doubts in the existence of God-Allah-although he sees His creation. وعن الإمام علي "عليه السلام": عَجِبتُ لمن أنكر النشأة الأخرى، وهو يرى النشأة الأولى Imam Ali, peace be upon him, said: I wonder at him who denies the second life although he has seen the first life-this life is a living proof of both the existence of its creator as well as a clear proof that indicates that another life in heaven or hell may also be a possible chance as well-. وعن الإمام علي "عليه السلام": عَجِبتُ لعامر دار الفناء، وتارك دار البقاء Imam Ali, peace be upon him, said: I wonder at him who inhabits this transient abode-and is so indulged in it-but ignores the everlasting abode, kzbin.info/aero/PLFP6dYI5m3l9nRCG_REpQxQ46fCXAy3Aj There was a teacher whom didn't believe in existence of God, He said to his students do you see God?, the students replied no we don't see God, so the teacher said if you don't see God it means there is no God, then a smart student stood up and said to the other students hey guys do you see the teachers brain?, then the students replied no we don't see the teachers brain, the student then said then the teacher is crazy he got no brain :0) these verses of the bible they are exactly like quran and Islamic belief-although like other muslims I dont realy believe that all verses of todays bible are really from the original bible which was revealed to Jesus(peace be upon him and upon his great pure and very pious noble Mother)-. The verses are about God the-almighty-creator!..its so similar to Islamic beliefs! thats why I like it: 1.God Is One! - Deut. 6:4; 1 Cor. 8:4 yeah, one God for all of us. God is God and is one-not three..nor two nor billion- 2.God Is Truth! -Psalm 117:2; Jer. 10:10 3.God is Light-Surely not the physical light..not the photons meant here I think, God however is the source of the existence of knowledge and wisdom, and you know that wisdom and knowledge are both like light..but for our brains..true? :O) - 1 John 1:5 4.God Is Infinite - Jer. 23:24; Psalm 147:5 5.God is All Knowing.. - 1 John 3:20 6.God is Everywhere-but in a different way though..I mean, God is not a thing confined within limits of dimensions- Psalm 139:7-12 7.God is All Powerful - Jer. 32:17,27 8.God is Unequaled - Isaiah 40:13-25 9.God Is Perfect - 1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 139 10.God Is Most Wise - Rom. 16:27; Jude 1:25 11.God Is Most Holy - Isaiah 6:3; Rev. 4:8 12.God Is Most Free - Psalm 115:3 13.God Is Most Absolute - Isaiah 44:6; Acts 17:24-25 14.God Is Without Limit - 1 Kings 8:27; Jer. 23:23-24 15.God Is Eternal - Psalm 90:2; 1 Tim. 1:17 16.God Is Incomprehensible - Rom. 11:33; Psalm 145:3 17.God Is The Almighty One - Rev. 1:8; Rev. 4:8 18.God Is Gracious - Exodus 33:19; 1 Pet. 2:3 19.God Is Merciful - Exodus 34:6; Psalm 67:1; James 5:11 20.God Abounds In Goodness - Psalm 31:19; Psalm 52:1; Rom. 11:22 21.God Is Forgiving - Dan. 9:9; Eph. 1:7; Psalm 86:5 22.God Rewards Those Who Seek Him - Heb. 11:6 23.God Is Just In All His Judgments - Neh. 9:32-33; 2 Thess. 1:6 24.God Hates Sin - Psalm 5:5-6; Hab. 1:13 25.God Is the Creator - Isaiah 40:12,22,26 26.God Is Shepherd - Gen. 49:24 27.God Does Not Have A Human Body - Luke 24:39; Deut. 4:15-16 28.God Does Not Change - Num. 23:19; Mal. 3:6; James 1:17 29.God Is Without Limit - 1 Kings 8:27; Jer. 23:23-24 30.God Is Incomprehensible - Rom. 11:33; Psalm 145:3, and is greater than to be described or imagined do good to others and decrease your sins and be closer to God, thats the best thing any person can ever do in life. Also spreading the message as well.

[@Insights_stories]

What is the brand of your flat brush? Can I share it? Thank you Valerie

[@SableRain]

I crave conversations like this in real life. I live in a small town, and I don't think I'll ever find someone to converse with like this where I live, but I am so glad that at least I get to listen to you here on KZbin.

[@CrisTryingToBeProductive]

Kind of the same but I'm lucky enough that at least I have my sister even though we are different in many things, we enjoy having discussions, sometimes each one pick a different side and we agreed in disagree 😅.

[@StudioHannah]

You never know if there's someone else in your small town thinking the same thing. They could be much older or younger than you as well, so don't discredit people for their age. You'll find someone at some point. I grew up in a small place as well, and eventually did move and found my philosophical friends IRL :)

[@merryfergie]

I live in a small town & We do have conversations like this , daily. Im so grateful. The town is a "hippie" town

[@divyasinghart]

Don't worry. You will eventually find someone, you never know.

[@王王-l8v]

You'll be surprised how many people have these thoughts too, and they're probably put there thinking that no one else thinks about this too!

[@zyssica]

I feel like if we saw the great masters, but those who left a mark in our world and we still remember them, Leonardo, Monet, Modigliani, Van Gogh, you name it -- having a conversation with them might be like this.. Valerie is a bit of an old soul. And Im kind of obsessed with it!!

[@lobokitty1252]

You are unlike any Art-Tuber, you say things with such wisdom and truth beyond your years. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and art with us.💜

[@mingshi7771]

This is so philosophical. I think the emotion you are trying to evoke with the whole dystopia/utopia is similar to the story of “Don’t Look Up” and “Nope”. It’s a very humanistic way of looking at ourselves as people. Anyway, I’m getting a kalimba too because I’m also obsessed with Avatar’s Love. ❤

[@thesunflowerheart]

I have watched many videos where my creativity has been crushed by rules, or chaotic music, but your videos always bring positivity into my creative space at night. I want to encourage you to keep voicing your thoughts along with the art and the journeys you take us on because this world needs more deep thinkers like you. I always learn something new from your videos, and not just art, but profound thoughts that make me stop and think. So much emotion with logic, philosophy, and art, I just love it along with the peaceful music and your peaceful personality!

[@carlamariestudios]

Valerie shows us what it's like to be authentically yourself! ♡ ♡ ♡

[@schoolwork232]

So very true! 😇

[@honey..3124]

Truly

[@ucincilin]

I’m so engaged in the way you talk and let yourself be carried into the flow of a thought. I can’t express it perfectly but I understand so many things you say in this video, not just with your words but with the way you peel tape off the painting, the way colors have to be right, and the way you allow the camera to focus on dust floating in the sun. This makes me feel so inspired and hopeful, watching you talk to the camera with such honest eyes and wonder reminds me why I like thinking about these things as well, and why I love to make art about them. Thank you, you wonderful soul 🤍🪞🕯️🫖

[@fernandacornejo4762]

Don't wait for motivation. Just do good and feel good.

[@ryuuna2345]

I'm thinking that artists offer a mirror - they show us parts of ourselves we wouldn't notice or think about otherwise. And through that, we learn more about ourselves, our oppinions, emotions, this reality... Everything. I think artists aren't trying (or supposed) to show us how things are - they offer us the chance to find out for ourselves. It's almost like the art is a portal to a hidden/forgotten place inside our psyche. I've been wondering about the meaning of art as well, this video got me thinking so thank you! I loved the vibes and every single message you shared, you made me feel the sunshine even tho it's a foggy morning here ✨🤍

[@daybydaystonebystone]

Your soul was moved at the very end Valerie. And the need to be quiet is so that what you received can settle in. ♥️ Much love and blessings🙏🏼

[@melenasorenson7749]

You see the world and it's facts and truth. You break it down and make it into something beautiful. You have a beautiful soul and I wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

[@manoleaflower3096]

Valeria, thank you for appearing in my life. You are a beautiful butterfly that gives hope... I have depression because of the death of my father, who was my soul mate. I felt that the world was empty after him... But when I found your channel, small buds of hope began to grow in my heart... Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏❤🌷🕊

[@nicolechown2249]

I love watching you work and speak. Yes art is to assist understanding of things that cant be spoken, or are emerging in the moment.

[@thefaylawrence]

You're so peaceful... I get lost in art, beauty, and the wonders of God. Thank you and continue speaking your truth.

[@aryaluna888]

Hi Valerie I rarely comment on videos but I had to say that I’m so glad I found your channel recently. The wisdom you have, the way you express yourself, your calm demeanor and voice, and the artistry behind the cinematography of your channel all move and inspire me in ways that KZbin videos rarely ever do. I’m so happy I’ve found you. Please continue doing what you do and sharing your thoughts and art with us.

[@EJ-mm8wc]

Oh my gosh! I have had a very confusing last three days, week actually, and it has tempted me to feel bad. But I don't want to feel bad , and now I have found you. I am struggling hard right now trying not to lose the joy and happiness I find in my creative process because circumstances have led me to a place of comparing myself to others and coming up lacking, of pressure to commercialize and to perform to the expectation of others with a judgement of not meeting the prescribed expectations . I'm not with out skill, I know that, I've invested much time money and effort in skill building but my sensitivity and the thought process and the act of concentration and focus seem like they want to be protected so that my own unique expression or even the spirit coming through can manifest. This is about something within me that wants me to recognize and integrate it , alchemize if you will, as you talk about so wonderfully. A sort of Asperger approach to life, that leaves me stiff and socially awkward, uncomfortable, anxious . I have started to address it in my visual work trying to bring more rhythm, more poetry, more childlike playfulness which I guess makes the work more of a therapy than a commercial venture. So there you have it. I love your emphasis on authenticity and your thought processes and the example you set.

[@jessicarotili97]

when you say that in a crisis the first thing that man takes away is art, I think it is a concept that can also be applied to the inner life ... nice reflective video...art serves to understand the world, beautiful philosophy, I have to read more.I forget that it makes me feel good and it also turns me on creatively. This fire must be fueled!

[@Alinda1308]

This was so touching and relatable. You don't know how many times I have asked myself why I want to make art. I love it, I definitely want to make people connect through my art and convey certain feelings. But yeah, there's much more there and that's why is so important actually

[@clapatgallop8058]

Listening to you talking your thoughts out as well as seeing you creating beautiful art is such a gift. So spontaneous, so transparent, and enlightening. Your videos are always a source of knwoledge, whether is art, philosophy, building up computers or disserning about household cleaning. You always leave somehting positive in my life when I see your videos. God bless you!

[@hasinilp7944]

Hi Ms Valerie. I don't know if you'll see this but I just want you to know how much your videos have enriched my life. It was a major phone addict when I found your channel. I used to lock myself up in my room and stare at my phone screen for hours. I knew I wasn't happy but I couldn't get myself to stop. After finding your videos, I tried to incorporate the lessons you taught into my life and I became so much more mindful of my behaviour. It took me a couple of months but now, I have largely recovered from a year long addiction. Mindfulness has made me happier than ever before and I owe a large part of it to what I have learnt from you. I'm still pretty young so I'm happy to have realized this at a young age. I'm so grateful to the internet as it has allowed me to find you and learn from you even though I live on the other side of the world. I've never commented before but I'm just writing this to say thank you, Ms Valerie for your videos. Thank you so much❤️

[@Blick_Art]

"You create good and then you spread good." Thank you! This is a great answer when you're asked how you can make art when there are so many bad things going on in the world. We make art so there is more good in the world!

[@cherylannillustrator]

Valerie, this has been the loveliest most real and raw video to watch, my heart is so warm! i’m a forever fan 🫶

[@azrarashid5764]

'Artists make people understand the life ' thanks Valerie for every word ❤️ lots of love ❤️

[@ceconoosh]

Valerie, even if you talked just about ‘Gelbe Säcke’ or other random things I would listen in awe :D I love your work & that you share the beauty of it ❤️ so grateful for you 🌸

[@lolgriffin3243]

I love that you talked about the good and beauty of art - and that it is important; because it is. Too much art these days celebrates all that is ugly in our world and lives and it's awful.

[@mariaetheridge8343]

You are quite the philisopher! And yes, you are growing (up) and becoming a very well educated young lady. I get the feeling that you like philosophy... Go on - life is sweet. I know, as I'm 78! And when life's bitterness comes along, make it your friend. It usually works.

[@angeloliver4487]

Val! If you want to talk about something, talk about it. This audience loves you and we won’t mind :) it makes you human to us and reminds us that you’re just like us :) Thank you for all your amazing videos! Sie sind wunderbar!

[@PDogB]

Truth and consequences are always good reminders for humans. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, experiences and art.

[@victoriabroyles6467]

You can't base an accurate conclusion on a false premise. Logic is a fascinating study. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and creative process. Keeping your living space clean and clutter free reduces anxiety.

[@MermaidsAreNice]

"Artists make people understand life." Yes! 🙌🏾 I completely agree. And I feel that wanting to understand life or a moment of it is often what drives us to create, even if we arent quite aware of that.

[@lyratonks]

I like how you talk with us through your camera lens :) like we talk with each other face to face.

[@fernandavaroni8722]

Valerie's videos are like therapy for me🥰❤️

[@slickyyyy]

I believe in the concept that a person receives a mirror of what they put out into the tangible world. When on decides to struggle in the pursuit of excellence- when someone is plagued by the need to be intelligent in any field- they receive excellence back. This is law to me. So, when I am faced with a choice and I am offered an excellent thing that is worth the fight for it, I will naturally pursue that thing. I believe this is why you do what you do. You do it with so much consideration for your impact as well! You are excellent! ❤

[@miriamgillham6701]

This was not random! Valerie it was magic. Art is to help people understand life. What a wonderful realisation, a revelation in so many ways. You have helped me today to align more with purpose. I am so blessed by this. Thank you.

[@candacenagle505]

Well, when I look at your paintings, feelings are invoked. This painting you shared, gave me feelings of magic, connection, mystery, and beauty.

[@musicbeyondwithboushra]

I often find myself doinf those conversation alone with myself at home. I actually loved that part when you showed your authentic self and asked those existential philosophical questions.

[@halycion1608]

Valerie! I waited for you so much. But whenever I had a bad day during the month, I used to come to your old videoes to heal myself. But I know how much effort you are putting to make the next video.The gap is worth it. Sending love❤🛫

[@curtisxblue]

Proud of you Valerie! ❤️ I had a conversation with someone a few days ago and they told me the importance of knowing your why. I relate to this feeling you had of asking yourself why you're creating art and not really coming up with a "good" reason and it felt strange realising I never wondered why I create art. After an hour or two I realised my why and it's just three words. art allows growth. Humans are amazing but in my opinion we need the inspiration and motivation to unlock our potential and I feel art does that in all its different forms, be that movies, dance, cooking, writing, music, etc. Art creates for us the opportunity to become better & grow. Hope that makes a bit of sense, thank you for another awesome video and your art is stunning 🖤✨

[@rainydayfilm]

Valerie, You are a beautiful human being. So intelligent and healthy of mind. I feel so much better about life after watching your videos. Thanks

[@CHAI.X]

A bit random, but if anyone loves the cute scissors, they are Stork Embroidery Scissors 😊 Lovely video! ♥

[@fajer2808]

I watch your channel over and over again and mostly when I feel so sad that it burns all of my inside. I watch your videos and it medicates me I instantly feel better right after. Thank you Valerie.

[@laiilicious]

mein lieblings Kanal... hier fühlt man sich immer wohl und kann mal vom Alltag abschalten:) danke

[@kristalt.7404]

Hi, I'm a psychology student and is also an art enthusiast. This video, especially the voice over, is very deep. The "why's" question you asked is an indication of existential crisis, which is understandable at our human nature. This also indicates that no matter how we neglect it, the fact is we can't comprehend everything "through science" hence the existence of "spiritual". No matter how much beautiful or good you tried to live on earth, without a relationship to your deeper and higher self, your "purpose" in life would be undetermined... which is sad because we're the kind of creatures that which crave for meaning and purpose... And so, the ONE whom created us put that "why's" questions inside our heart for us to SEEK the TRUTH... the purpose... The meaning... Why we're here. And let me tell you, I found my answer through these verses (and some deep-dive study background behind these:) Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24:14 . Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV) "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." . Romans 1:20 (NIV) "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." . Colossians 1:16 (NIV) "For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him." . You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 . This may sound biased, but I just wanted to be honest... As an artist myself, I've been lost in the ocean of questions and was nearly drowned to the dark side of life, searching for the meaning of it all... until I found it in God. He REALLY is the Great Artists of all Arts & Artists! And I tell you... Once you've finally found the TRUTH of Purpose in Him... Your art and being as an artist... will flourish not just with beauty but with overflowing meaning and wisdom! Have a nice day!

[@dashinvaine]

Your watercolours are insanely good! It has an ethereal quality. I imagine a calm and collected state of mind is more vital for a water colour painter because of the concentration required, working in an unforgiving medium. You can't scrape it off or sand it back and repaint it, as you can with oils, for example. Every stroke has to be right.

[@faerieofstars]

15:20 is so precious. valerie's words are worth more than gold.

[@katnipkatnips]

Understanding the life, that is what art is for. I've been pushing myself to make art again and I'm questioning myself everytime. Everytime, everyday that I wake up. What am I doing this for. I'm happy I got across this channel. I like deep conversations, that's like food for the brain. Just, nobody understands on the real sensory world. It's like a relief to get these kind of thoughts expressed.

[@loopsies_]

In love with this video. Seeing you piece together "Why do I do this?" in real time was wonderful. Every realization was so genuine, rewarding, and reaffirming. (And at 6am?! I'm barely functioning at that time!) This is going to change how I process some things. Thank you Valerie!

[@DivyaJoan]

I find that your videos pair quite well with... putting your feet up, sit back with a glass of wine...or maybe even in the bathtub, with aromatic candles around. You exude depth and maturity beyond your years. Thank you, Valerie. I always look forward to your videos. Speaking of ethos and morality and when one achieves it... there's a documentary on Netflix "Babies" that talks about how babies grow and develop...that they aren't boring simpletons. Apparently, morality is keyed in... it's inherent and in-built. It gets honed over the years by parents/caregivers.

[@Masohexe]

Valerie..ich liebe dich. Das musste ich hier mal loswerden. Nicht nur, dass es mich glücklich macht dir zuzusehen und zuzuhören. Du siehst aus wie Familie..und fühlst dich an wie Familie auch wenn du es nicht bist. Ich war in meiner Familie immer recht alleine mit meinem Hobby und generell mit meinen Gedanken. Dich bzw deinen Kanal zu finden hat mir so gut getan. Denn auch wenn man logisch weiß, dass man nicht alleine ist, tut es gut tatsächlich zu sehen, dass man es nicht ist. Will sagen, ich bin dankbar, dass es dich gibt und dass du entschieden hast diese Videos und damit ein Stück deines Lebens und von dir zu teilen. Ich hoffe du hörst nie auf...oder zumindest lange lange nicht..P.S. Die Stelle "you create good and then you spread good..." und dein Lächeln danach haben mich zum lachen gebracht. Nicht über dich sondern mit dir. Du hast so recht...Ganz viel Liebe! Und viel Erfolg beim Sauberhalten der Wohnung!

[@studiotezart]

SO so beautiful about that the artists task are to help others to see the world, to understand it and to make them think. That is exactly how I feel about my art, but never could put into words

[@grazynawikierska]

Everyone is different. When I let go of the question "why" and all reading I came back to creating with joy and freedom.

[@m.7663]

Really beautiful, I think your brainstorming is therapeutic and meaningful, because it shows your thought process (and life process), in a natural, authentic way, which is something very rare and unique nowadays. Also, beautiful light and painting💗

[@htf2387]

I find a lot of the videos you upload to be inspiring, but this video, which too is inspiring, had a different/distinct effect on me. I came away from it feeling like I have listened to a profound friend who has left me in a better state than they had originally found me. Thank you very much for that, and thank you for what you do.

[@jetteroheller6395]

Thank you for your sharing your honest reflections of art, and your world and how they react with one another. When you create for your joy, this is how an artist survives. Art like life is experienced at an individual level. An artist, many times is creating in solitude, but then when you see how others enjoy your creation, it wakes up the dreamer that was necessary to create the art in the first place. Yes, create, but also give yourself a chance to find beauty in the world. Take a look in the mirror. You are beautiful. It is also outside. take time to take pictures or make sketches of subjects you can use in your creations. There are many, who see themselves in you, this includes myself. You are in great company. When I see your art, YOU are actually the GREAT in the group. May you and yours stay healthy, joyful and grateful for the experiences that allow us to grow. I love you, like I love myself.

[@ludmylavieira7176]

[@শ্রুতি-ব১ঞ]

This channel is the best thing that ever happened to me ……as a new adult life is hard it takes a lot of toll on me but when I watch your videos my mind fills with positivity and “I can do it motivation” let my comment be a love letter to all the positivity you’re spreading….thank you from the bottom of my heart…..when my life gets hard I’ll always come back to your videos❤

[@lahvena]

I honestly loved the talking part of this video! To me, art is more about making life tolerable than to make people understand life, but I guess it can have a different meaning for different people, like everything else. I want to make people feel good seeing my art, almost as if I’m saying “you’re not alone, I feel the same”. Thank you for the video and your thoughts, Valerie. You have a beautiful mind, and that painting is probably my favorite from you now ❤😍

Dietary choices make a difference: more fresh organic produce helps. Additives, salt, non-medium chain heated oils, and/or refined flour seem to cause shame, guilt, and embarrassment feelings biochemically (via metabolites from their digestion.)

[@hananemouna673]

Artists are good with extracting an abstract idea from this real world, they are good with seeing unseen things and reading between the lines .. and yeah that could make people think through their creations about life..because life itself is more then this material world we see

[@guitarsz]

just so you know valerie, it doesn't bring us (well I'll speak for myself) but it doesn't bring us down to hear difficult things...in fact, it only makes you human. a lot of people feel like they should never talk about the difficulties because it can bring people down, but that's sad and silly, and that's truly an honor to listen to someone if they are having a difficulty. Of course, if someone is ALWAYS complaining or stuck in difficulty that could be uncomfortable...but that's because it's like out of control for that person, or they are addicted to that certain condition...but be yourself, and share the difficult stuff with your friends. if they are good friends they will listen. :)

[@glenellenyogabyrhina2930]

'I did some sneaky stuff...' I loved that!! I truly enjoy your videos. Please keep making them. You are a very smart and creative young lady!

[@chandirodriguez7551]

You are experiencing beauty and and through that experience you are creating more beauty. You are enjoying the process of birthing more beauty and in so dojng, you are making the sum total of all life here more beautiful. It is an upliftment that you introduce and contribute. Watching you in this process allows me to want to create beauty too . That is one way your inspirations expands overall.

[@eccaetchings5587]

I know this is 10 months old now upon watching and commenting…But ahhhh, this is so refreshing! I’m so happy you’re a philosophical soul. Even though it’s not a conversation, it’s a video made almost a year ago with your voice over, it’s so nice! This video is timeless. 😊🌿

Since I started watching her, one thing that I notice and always stands out to me is how elegant Valerie is!

[@habibaheltoukhi]

watching you just talk was so beautiful in and of itself. I loved the honesty and the rawness and could relate to a lot of the things you said. I am truly in awe of you, your work and the way you view the world. Love, Habibah ❤

[@maurice140462]

Hello Valérie! To paint is,as is to write,a means to two things:communicate with the others by the ways of creating stories and to express yours own feelings,understandings and questions about the world.For me,these actions are essentials ........ Continue yours reflections!

[@artnijii]

I love the talking part soooo much!!! I think you're the first youtuber i saw that speaks out their thoughts unscripted. I love the pauses and knitted eyebrows while thinking hardly of your deep thoughts. A free flowing words from your mind and definitely love that eureka moment on 15:21 as you stare on us (i know its a camera lense that u see hahaha) but your stare (as if looking straight in our soul) and your expression of realization is so beautiful. I can almost feel that feeling of realizing something when your mind is roaming around. T_T your mind is so beautiful, i would love to hear more of your thoughts like this if ever you feel like it 🤍🤍🤍

I get a little shiver when you finally found the answer and u should know how much i enjoy the talking part ^^ it's rare for me to find someone that express her thoughts like you :") and i'm grateful for that thank youu

[@esmeestevens4018]

this takes me back to my own philosophy classes from a couple years back, thanks you of reminding me of those days, and how important those lessons were and how much of in impact they had on my thinking

[@yellowmellow5090]

I never thought there was anyone out there with a mind like mine until Valerie Lin. Girl if you met me you'd think I was you. I love your expression.

[@larajanse3109]

I’ve watched your videos from time to time and was always captivated by how you have such a strong vision of your art and are able to bring it to life, where each stroke is meaningful no matter how small. I now understand more your thought process behind this. You think a lot like me. I am no consistent artist so my topics are different but I always look for deeper meaning within myself, whatever my mind is occupied with. I think you have beautiful perspectives which I wish I could just spawn into my brain somehow. Communicating them is often hard because things like this come in the form of personal feelings rather than understandable words for everyone. But please don’t feel bad for trying to communicate them, because they are so interesting. I also loved the philosophy story and I think I could listen to you all day talking about whatever. Love, Lara

This was great!! I find this quote to be a helpful north star - "One of the tasks of art is to safeguard the authenticity of the human experience" - Juhani Pallasmaa

[@jasmitorkkel]

i'm so thankful for the content you make! no other youtuber inspires me like this

[@FM-rf5kf]

Amazing video!!! I love your philosophical conversation! I agree with you and when I think about those things I think I look the same from the side, interested, excited, worried and all other emotions at the same time. Painting magical and unique! And I think any individual KZbinr painter can’t beat you in numbers of angles you do during video! It amazing! Masterpiece!!❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@elodiecorea7798]

Definitely! I can totally understand why the videos take her so long to make. She truly puts her heart (and more) in it.

[@Courtmcmillan]

You remind me of Mr. Roger’s but for ADULTS… and that is a HUGE compliment. He use to give me a sense of safety when I was little. You have that gentle ability to explain life in a way my brain can listen and understand. Very engaging and overall just phenomenal genius way💫🧚❤️

[@sanjanasupti17]

I do not know how you do it... but whenever I'm feeling anxious or just unsure nd uncertain about something or what I'm doing I happen to stumble upon another one of your invigorating videos. I'm grateful to my past self for procrastinating a bit and finding your channel. And thank you so much for all that you do ♡

[@minniex622]

You find life in art of course💜 as Van Gogh paintings or Munch... Every artist is an important human in this world. Artists are the future of this world. Without Art lot of issues in life , we cannot understand alone.

[@yunna1466]

It felt so real, so honest. It is preatty rare. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@philhob4317]

I believe the thinking is our struggle to find the space of our true self. Something hidden... something deeply magic. We try to replace it with discipline. To wash our dishes, do chores, cut our addiction to the phone. But as we learn to step into our deep truth of being, discipline has no meaning. We learn to feel, sense. We just know

[@adriannamarszal]

your work on paper and on youtube always leaves me inspired. you definitely make me understand the world better ❤

[@mariaterra7172]

I loved the spontaneity of this video, made me feel like sitting down to talk to an old friend 😊

[@gazzabart]

Valerie you make us laugh you make us cry you make us think. Thank you 🕊🌎🕊🌏🕊🌍🕊

[@Rec426]

6:00 wow, honestly I always need to remember this message. I think it’s hard to do this since a lot of people around me can be cynical of the world but I have been trying this and trying to ignore other peoples negative views of things. Sometimes it’s been harder to do so than other times but I’m trying to get a little better at it each day. I loved this message so thank you 💕

[@coco3832]

I look forward to the bits of wisdom you share with us, you inspire me to follow my dreams 💛💛💛

[@mountainsno]

Thank you. I so enjoyed this video. My friend and I laughed together this week. We were talking, teasing apart definitions and ideas, together, trying to come up with the exact concept we were wanting to talk about. We laughed together that we should have recorded it and made a podcast. Because we got philosophical and deep and we had great fun together. We would love to discover together with other people too. It is so enjoyable. Challenging. So I connect for sure with your words in this video. Best wishes.

[@LaPiel1]

Könnte dir die ganze Zeit zuhören🥰danke für deine Videos ...wenn man 20 min in eine andere Ebene der Gedanken verschwindet und einfach die Sorgen um sich schweifen lässt.Danke💖

[@artyheart2726]

The most beautiful thing about your videos is that u show the reality, the vids are completely filled with purity..... the nature, the aura and most important it's true and pure in every aspect it's not made up💖, everything in your vid is from the bottom of your heart and that makes your vids soo special✨

[@lenatomas9266]

Other paints pass and present have their struggles as well. All of us do. The important thing is our attitude towards everything we go through. Lastly, in these moments I go to art as well and then I am thankful to Almighty God for everything.🙂🙏

[@gracefulquills]

This was such a raw video, Valerie. I loved it. Thank you for uploading this.

[@miradesnan38]

This is something so many people think - why should I clean? No one is here. But it is you that's there.... You can do this for yourself.

[@trissbing7732]

You are the greatest thing I find in the internet this year. Thank you Valerie

[@chozinthant1269]

I am your huge fan. When I watch your video, I have courage to stand alone.

[@micasainthecloud]

Hi, Valerie! This is my first time watching your video, and it was amazing! All I can think about when I see you're talking is just honesty. You're very genuine. And I can relate to some parts when you talk. I hope you'll always be healthy, sending my love to you ❤️

[@prisillaspace]

MIss Valerie, this is so beautiful, as you are. Keep exploring the realms of the beings that we are. Thank you. 🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹
