Starting a YouTube Channel as an Artist In My 50's / A New Adventure Begins / Let's Do This!

[@Studio_Gigi]

Looking forward to this new adventure and hoping you will join along! Drop a comment and say hi 👋.

[@TamPriceHoyle]

I enjoyed your first video. I'm an artist in my 50's too. I look forward to seeing more of your content / art soon.

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thank you for your comment! There's a creative freedom that comes with hitting your 50's. I'm loving it! Really looking forward to what's ahead. 😀

[@janellegoodwin]

I would love to see more of your sketchbooks! You have a great presence on camera.

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thank you! I am definitely planning on showing some of my work in upcoming videos. Stay tuned 😁

[@RobinsonKris]

I'm a GiGi and an artist, too. You did so well with your first video. A natural!

[@Studio_Gigi]

Being a Gigi is the best thing ever and thank you so much for the compliment! 😁

[@also_perhaps_art]

Well done on making your first video! Love the blooper intro 😂🫶🏽

[@Studio_Gigi]

@@also_perhaps_art Thank you! I had a lot of fun making it. 🤪

[@noblethoughts4500]

Good video! Lovely. And happy birthday

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun putting it together. 😀

[@YouCanCallMeChente]

Oh my goodness Stephanie, Love your videos! I would never have guessed you've only done three of them. I've only done, if you're generous, 3 actual videos and they are nowhere as polished as yours. I still forget about lighting. And to smile. And angle. And.... Where is my energy! It sure don't show. I know we are different styles and content but Kudos to you! Thank you keep it up...

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thanks so much! I'm really having a lot of fun and happy that I'm finally doing it. There were a lot of false starts and I have hours of video footage where I use the phrase "Welcome to my first video" 😅. So if you count those, I've probably done about a dozen. ;) Good luck with your journey and thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and commenting.

[@debbiesdanceetc.8854]

So proud of you Stephanie! Loved the videos! Can't wait to see more!

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thank you! Having too much fun, so there will certainly be more...😀. Glad you found me 🥰

[@TracieWho]

What a great birthday present for yourself. I also have grandkid art in my studio to inspire me. Although, your studio is much nicer looking than mine. I can't seem to keep it from becoming a train wreck every day, especially know that I am learning the art of collage. Soooo much paper, sooooo many tiny scraps of stuff everywhere no matter how much I vacuum! Watercolor is more much easier to contain...lol

[@Studio_Gigi]

Yes! I love having the gk's art in my studio. They inspire me to be playful and not take any of this too seriously. I sometimes break out the collage materials too and I know what you mean by the glorious mess it creates...so worth it though! Any time I video, I first have to make sure it's not total chaos in here, but really, when the stuff is out and simply not contained, that's when I feel my most creative. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and watching my video. 😁

[@WilmaBadenhorst-i8u]

Hello! From an artist in her 60's and loving to see more mature artists on youtube😊 Some of your sketchbook yumminess soon please? ❤

[@Studio_Gigi]

Me too! Honestly it's one of the things that inspired me to go for it. It's great to see the representation. I will be sharing sketchbook glimpses in an upcoming video and then more drawing and painting soon. All this editing has put some of the daily art on hold, but I'm lovin' it!!! Thanks so much for your comments!

[@emilyontiveros2643]

I love your studio! I’m so excited to see this journey. ❤ you are inspiring.

[@Studio_Gigi]

@@emilyontiveros2643 Thank you Emily! Hoping it’s going to be a wild ride … well… not too wild. 😜

[@AmandaFraser_art]

Hi Stephanie lovely video! I am a newbie on here too 😅and I know exactly how you feel! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos 😊

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thanks so much! It is a wild time for sure 😂. But wow! So much fun! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and commenting. It means a lot. 😁

[@piscesrisingpress]

Very cool! I'm looking forward to seeing more. I started documenting my children's book publishing company not too long ago, and we can all contribute some knowledge of what we do!

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thank you! Now that sounds like fun! I was an elementary teacher for many years and children's books were one of my favorite things. Good luck on what sounds like a great adventure!

[@piscesrisingpress]

@@Studio_Gigi Thank you so much! It's been a fun challenge!

[@shannonhergott]

Hi! I’m just getting my you tube channel going too! I started it 4 years ago and then life kept happening! And I kept putting it off! So! A year ago I started reading books to my grandsons weekly here on you tube, my videos before that were sporadic at best! I hear you on just getting on with it! Yay! Good for you! Also- I’m 52. It’s never too late to start something new!! I’ll be sure to subscribe:)

[@Studio_Gigi]

Sounds very familiar, and more than anything else, I just kept getting in my own way. I'm having a blast though! It's definitely never too late to start a new thing, and I think it's what keeps us young . Good luck on your KZbin Journey. Thanks so much for subscribing and for your comment!

[@shannonhergott]

@@Studio_Gigi right?! No time like the present :-) yahoo

[@Lifeinthewyldewest]

You are so super adorable! I’m so happy you popped up on my home page! Im excited to be inspired by you. I’m an artist and I also have a channel. I don’t do much art on my channel though. I’m a bit shy about that. I love that you are following your dream! I’m with you! Your art is wonderful! Take care and welcome to KZbin. It’s a wonderful and supportive community. I’ll be subbing! Those lemons made me smile! Thank you for being brave. ❤

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thank you so much! Your comments are greatly appreciated 😊. I'm very introverted, so this was definitely a big stretch for me but the idea just wouldn't leave me alone. Looking forward to getting to know this KZbin community and being part of it in a different capacity. Glad the lemons made you smile too. Thanks for subbing and good luck on your journey.

[@Lifeinthewyldewest]

@ I sometimes think YT was made for introverts, I know there are many of us out there making content including me. I’m a solid INFP.

[@rebekahcordova5787]

You’re just the cutest. 🖤

[@Studio_Gigi]

Haha! Thank you! 😁

[@oliviamoorevideo]

Amazing!! 😜🥰😘

[@Studio_Gigi]

Thank you!

[@shannonsartgathering3321]

I just found you and subscribed . I also have an art KZbin channel. Shannon’s Art Gathering.

[@Studio_Gigi]

So glad you found me and thank you! I will have to check out your channel 😁 Being a content creator is a wild ride, and I've only been doing it a week 😅. Good luck on your KZbin journey!

[@shannonsartgathering3321]

@ thank you. Good luck to you too !
