And some really good reminders, my favourite was that creative energy is still energy that needs time to recover

[@Theblindartisan]

Ah yes!!! I’m so happy that you took some things away from this video! I feel like the entire experience of painting this week opened my eyes to so much and I’m so grateful that I get to share them with you! 🥹 Thank you so much for watching and thank you so much for your lovely comments! They mean the world! ❤

The "hands thing", which was kind of driving me nuts watching this, is a good example of how we can sometimes get accustomed to something in our work which looks good to us but is objectively "off" in some way. Those are great moments to be open to constructive input, and then to reexamine our work with fresh eyes, all of which you did. I breathed a sigh of relief when you fixed the hands, because now the whole painting works, and it freely makes its point to the viewer without any distractions. I think I saw Shania Bo in Germany use tape as a hack for her issues with straight lines, on a painting which had TONS of straight lines. Brilliant move. Your process for creating your "water angel" in Procreate was pretty cool in its own right, a good reminder to just "play" to keep the juices flowing. Great, fun video!!

[@Theblindartisan]

First and foremost, thank you so much for this lovely comment! I couldn’t agree more with what you said in regard to feeling like something is off in your piece, but not knowing what! The hands situation was definitely a learning lesson for me! It taught me to slow down, and the value of having a community that is open to giving constructive criticism! ☺️ And wow! I’ve never heard of Shania Bo, but I need to take a look at their work! The using tape to mask off certain areas is definitely something that I’m going to keep trying to implement in my pieces going forward! I’m quite new to painting traditionally and I can’t help but feel so amazed for how many tricks there are to help make the process more smooth! Thank you again for this lovely comment! And thank you so much for watching my little video! It really means the world! ❤

[@EVBell-gz8iv]

lovely video, and lovely painting! I love how your hair and pet snake are similar color profiles - people really do look like their pets! also really liked the lesson you shared about the hands :) and now i am second-guessing my commitment to watercolor painting which is not at all forgiving like you express acrylic painting is... in watercolor, once the paint is down, there is no going back and i so often wish I could paint over or do over... there's a small window of opportunity to fix mistakes or re-do but not much. maybe i need to try acrylics again!

[@Theblindartisan]

Ah!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! 🥰 There is something so beautiful about watercolor painting! I have yet to be able to get my footing with it, but it has such a beautiful quality to it! I feel like with that medium, you have to plan a lot, but also have the ability to let go and adapt as you go! Maybe give acrylics a try again! Or even try using watercolor for some elements and acrylics for others! I feel like watercolors could give a beautiful quality to things like backgrounds and flowers, while allowing your subject matter to stand out with something heavier like acrylics! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me! You’ll have to let me know if you give acrylics a try again!❤

[@JaydenSharesThings]

I loooove how your painting turned out!!! 😍 thank you for sharing these vlogs. I’m about ready to start my own art channel, getting a desk this week to have a set drawing space and film videos! Your channel is so calming and inspiring, and your energy and creativity are wonderful. ^-^💜🩷🩵

@@IndicreatesHaha! Thank you so much! And I completely get it! It does take a lot of effort but I feel like it’s all worth it in the end! After making my own videos, I definitely have more respect for filmmakers who do this for a living! Be patient with yourself! I know your vlog is going to be amazing! ❤

Hi Syd! I was recommended this video and wow I loved it! Also omg you're in Atlanta?! You have such a sweet energy and I can't wait to see you grow on here :)! This is inspiring me to get off my butt and get consistent with YT as well.

[@Theblindartisan]

Aww! Hi beautiful! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I’m sooooo happy that you took a chance and clicked on my little video! Thank you so much for watching! 🥹☺️ And yes!!! I’m in the Atlanta area! I was born and raised here! Are you in Atlanta as well? And when it comes to being consistent on here, it’s a challenge but it’s a beautiful one! You’ve got this! Once you get into a routine, I think that creating on here will become a passion. It just takes a little push at first. I’m sending all the love and positive energy your way! 🥰

[@ZulekaG]

@@Theblindartisan Aww you’re so very welcome girly!! And ooh how nice, yes I am in Atlanta too. Born and raised here as well 💓 !

I receive all the positive energy, and hope you stay consistent as well. 🥰

[@flossyarts]

Omg you're in the ATL area? What a lovely video, I enjoyed it so much! The painting turned out amazing, and I love that sticker sheet 🩷 Also, your monsteras look great, how many do you have?

[@Theblindartisan]

I am!!!! Are you in the Atlanta area too?! (I’m a huge fan of your work by the way! 💕) And I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video! It was sooooo fun to film! And thank you!!! I actually have so many! I have two varieties of monsteras but I have propagated them so many times so now I have a little jungle inside! Haha! Do you have plants too?

[@flossyarts]

@Theblindartisan aw thank you!! and I'm just outside the metro Atlanta area, in west Georgia, but I lived in Atlanta for a few years and go there a lot still! I can tell! Ooh which varieties?? I have a large monstera that I'm trying to propagate from, and a little monstera adansonii ~ but yes, I do have a plant collection! I'm getting a greenhouse so I can keep adding to it lol

[@flossyarts]

@@Theblindartisan & I'm a big fan of your art as well!
