Leaving my job in the clinic to fulfill my childhood dream | Paint with me Floral Gouache Process

Quitting my job almost felt like quitting an identity. Believe me it took a while before I felt ready to do it. Today's video I want to give you a peep into how art seeped into my life and how it slowly grew into a passion like no other.
I hope this story gives you something to think about and perhaps be one where you think about where art fits in your life :)

First of all I wanted to tell you that give a big tight hug to your friend who bring you that day outside to paint. Thank you so much for sharing your story here. I’m a new mom of a miracle baby girl and I have been painting from 2-3 years but not continuously it’s just when ever I get time I painted. But after giving birth to my baby, it’s become hard for me to paint. I’m getting very little time during her nap like half hour. I’m currently in that position where you mentioned that how I can start my art business, who’s going to buy them, I’m not consistent etc. Thank you for your story ❤

[@brushmovement]

Yes that girl who told me to get outside to paint was that 1 person who changed everything and she's my bestie! I know how it feels to be tired from managing a baby then toddler and more.. I honestly learnt to grow into working in pockets of time instead and that's helped me see how small actions lead to big snow balls (in time) 😀

[@kanamichelle7404]

Your little girl is just darling! Congratulations on being a mama.❤ I wish I had your talent for color! I just love the colors that you choose to put together, and the very creative marks you use. Lovely!

[@brushmovement]

Thank u so much!!

[@heidiannette76]

Aspirational indeed thank you!!!

So beautiful to get to know you with this video. Thanks to Emma Jane’s for sharing The link to your KZbin channel.

[@brushmovement]

Hello 👋 so lovely to have u here!!!

[@jerrygill4828]

I love your technique…small strokes and time to think.

[@brushmovement]

Thank u for.noticing!!

[@wendykelcey1246]

Such a wonderful, inspiring story!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@brushmovement]

Thank u Wendy!!!

[@rt.artsudio]

Such an inspiring story! Love your work😊 I’m in the middle stage of my Art Journey and still finding my way, like you the business side is very scary! Hopefully will be up and running with my KZbin channel by next year 🤞🏻

[@brushmovement]

I cannot wait to support u so let me know when u do launch ur channel. It's not easy for sure and sometimes doing something before u r ready "helps" I find that it releases our perfectionist self. I m still learning about the business side but I m also finding new found joy in it! (Surprisingly!)

[@rt.artsudio]

Aaaww thank you so much! It’s quite scary to take the plunge, but I will do it. I have a couple of commitments this year. After January next year I should be starting. I’m doing the prep work right now. 😊

[@brushmovement]

@Elsewhereable so exciting to hear! And yes the plunge is scary but u know like free falling the first jump is hard and then your body gets into it! Haha not sure if I m making sense 😅 😂 best of luck!!

[@thejournalingbroom]

Whst is the name od the first brush you are using to put down the back ground layer? The one with the yellow and nlaxk handle?

[@susanmolinari2348]

I enjoyed hearing your story. Could you plz tell me what brand of gouache you use. I really love the look of your painting!

[@brushmovement]

So glad u r here Susan! I am using holbein gouache! Not the acryl version just traditional gouache

[@susanmolinari2348]

Thank you! May give it a try.

[@jerrygill4828]

Did you start this video with just watercolor?

[@brushmovement]

I started it with gouache but watered down. So it's semi transparent! 😀

[@jerrygill4828]

Thank you. You are so generous.
