☀️ MAKING ART EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK 🌙

Hello there! I have decided to film a video where I paint and draw every single day for a week. There are days where I skip art making so I really wanted to change that. I am bringing you with me to this adventure. Grab a cup of tea and cosiest of blankets.
It would be amazing if you could give this video thumbs up so it can reach more people here on KZbin. It takes me forever to film and edit so I appreciate your support greatly. Thank you so much for all the comments, I try to answer to as many I can. :)

What do you like listening to when you’re doing your art? I love listening to different music from around the world. What music do you listen to?

[@GingahSnapsArt]

I too am a slow artist. Aint no stressing! You still create beautiful artworks. Not everything in life requires ruthless corporate efficiency. Some things are much much better slow grown! ❤

[@kriksis]

Thank you Gingah!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I had to pause in the middle of the video earlier, and I'm now watching the end before bed. I just wanted to say that I love all of the artwork in this; the inspiring sketches and the beautiful finished painting. So many subtle colours and details in that painting, it's just gorgeous...and there's nothing wrong with being a Slow Artist! Let's embrace it. :)

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

Natasha I agree there is definitely something to be said for being a slow artist,it is something to be embraced for sure(Matt)

[@kriksis]

Thank you Natasha for your kind comment. Yes let's embrace being a slow artist, that's the way to think! :)

[@kookatsoonjan]

yep...another slow-poke over here...feel it out slowwwwly...

[@themightierpencil]

This was so enjoyable. The perfect video to draw along with 😊

[@afos32]

I like using brown bags from the grocery store for oil pastels. It is nice and smooth, thick and holds the oil well. Slow artist

[@kriksis]

Such a great idea! Thank you for watching. :)

[@lunanorth]

Thankyou Kriksis I so enjoyed watching your slow painting. I am a slow painter too! The pace and filming, the colours in your interior are just lovely 🌟

Thank you Lunanorth for your kind message! I am happy you found this inspiring.

Dear slow artist, it makes me happy watching you develop this lovely creatures! Thank you for that!

[@kriksis]

Thank you Nicole!

[@ms.rocketscience4924]

Thank you for this lovely, cozy, slow artist video. I love the skater with foxes most, but everything is charming. A piece of wax paper or glassine will prevent the oil pastels from smearing. I like that you are challenging yourself to try new things and look at things in a new way. It is always a pleasure to spend time with you and your art😘

[@WendiWells]

Thank you Kriksis ❤ Beautiful video. SLOW ARTIST. Yes, I think I am also a slow artist. I love being outside and sketching quickly, but I also enjoy the process of revisiting a sketch or building up a drawing.

[@luneleaart]

I’m a slow artist too🐢it’s nice to know one painting a week is other artists speed as well. I’ve started combining it with daily sketches as well to experiment and develop more ideas

[@kriksis]

Thank you for sharing your experience Luneleaart and watching this video. :)

[@monikaazariah9237]

Loved each day of sketching ...I'm actually a fast artist and your video showed the beauty of slow art....it's actually very intentional and mindful ...I'm going to slow down too ❤

Lovely inspiring video. I loved the atmosphere in your painting corner and your color palettes. I also love painting birds and I'm also a slow artist. Well, more a mother and wife these days with my art supplies at the kitchen table while peeling potatoes for dinner.

Dear kriksis, you inspired me so much. I loved the idea of making art every day and after your video i want to challenge myself to success like you. I usually give up because im also slow artist too. Wish my luck. FYI i love your new wall :)

[@anjasmedartaps8225]

Slow Artist 💕 Love the art space change and "the new background" ❣

[@kriksis]

thank you!

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

Slow artist,I love how the robin tapped the window like he was trying to get your attention.I re-arranged my studio space as well at the start of January and it's motivating to my creativity.I love that the girl skating with the fox and wolf is based on a story from your mother.I think as an artist you find a pace of working that suits the way you like to paint,that gives you time to really create the image you had in your head The oil pastels worked really well for the bird sketches.Draeibg every day is a great way to get better with your work it's an ongoing learning curve with each new sketch,ands it's great to achieve a creative goal each day.I love the painting of the girl painting the pigeon and that the idea was sparked from your everyday sketching.I think your bird book is going to look amazing.(Matt)P.s I love the idea of ice skating foxes! I also work really slowly it just suits how I create my art

[@kriksis]

Hello Matt! Thank you for your kind words, I always look up to your comments and appreciate them. Thank you for sharing that you rearranged studio space as well to motivate creativity. So true about how our daily tasks play as inspiration for upcoming artworks. :) I am happy for the support on my channel and that I can actually do my own picture book, I think having personal projects is something every artist must have, even if for a little bit. Have a good day!

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

@@kriksis I like you when I go into my studio to work,light a candle and an oil burner to help create a calming working feeling so I can work. I always make time each day too work in my sketchbook,it helps me crustalise ideas but also gets my creativityy going. I have set myself a major project to do this year as well..(matt) P.s an ice skating fox/wolf would make a great little sticker design....

[@margaretsmith51]

Thank you for another very inspiring, relaxing video. I did stay till the end and appreciate your filming.

[@asthepaintflows]

I love your artwork Kriksis! The colors you use and the expressions on the animals faces - the foxes specifically, are so precious! I'm not sure if I'm a slow artist... I think I start out slow, but then pick up speed as I get into what I'm doing, and then I have to tell myself to slow down and cherish each ink mark and brush stroke. P.S. I love your color palettes on the walls behind you - mine are on my studio wall as well and they are always beckoning me to come and play with my paints! "Slow Artist" - Blessings to you, and a big thumbs up!

[@kriksis]

Thank you Asthepaintflows! So interesting, thank you for sharing, there is nothing wrong with being fast or slow, I think just need to embrace who you are :) Yes the colour palettes can inspire a great deal as well. Have a good day and thank you for watching!

[@asthepaintflows]

I totally agree - Just be who we are :) xoxoxoxo@@kriksis

[@hollynoscar3534]

you have such a beautiful unique style. i really love that last picture with the girl drawing the pigeon. that for sure should become a print. and i love the new set up. it makes the space look bigger and the view from the window is super nice. xo

Thank you Holly!

This is such a lovely video, Kriksis, thank you. It’s a good reminder to us. So often I don’t make the time to do any art and then wonder why I feel a bit flat. Creativity is king. :-]

[@kriksis]

Thank you!

[@paulineshelley4421]

You’re a thoughtful artist rather than a slow artist. Your paintings and sketches have a strong atmosphere with the very distinctive colour palette that you choose. Thank you for sharing your process. 😊❤

[@PatriciaVoinescuArt]

The new layout makes your studio feel a lot more spacious than before. Very comfortable for a slow artist.😁 Could you please leave a link for your 'One sketch a day' journal? Thank you

[@kriksis]

Thank you Deborah!

[@stars444]

Slow artist ❤ me too! This video showed up in the new for you feed… and I’m so glad it did! Subscribed and I will now go back and watch your others. I’m a big fan of textured watercolor paper for the depth and details… and I love the smoother options for line work. I haven’t found a happy medium yet so I often use both too but it’s nice to hear other artists mulling these things over. See you next time!

[@kriksis]

Hello! How lovely that you found my channel and enjoyed watching this video. Great to hear your experience about your thoughts about mediums. :)

Hi Kriksis..Greetings from Canada!! .I'm new here!! I just want to say that I am enjoying your muted colour palette. What brand of paints do you use? Do you have a video about how you selected your palette? I love the two paintings that you did in this video. I like how you have styled up your back wall, but I think it would be even better if you were to do an a collection of images that inspire you or even a collection of your completed work.

[@jenniek4617]

In one of your videos you use what I think it was a copy , scanner ?, can you do a video showing how you safe your art in the computer or what technical devices do you use to print and help you you with your are?, is the scanner, or device for transferring your work to the computer. Thanks.
