Summer Art Vlog; Struggles of an artist, rambling, painting a portrait of my grandfather

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to my channel :)
I am still very new to painting and was a bit shy to release this video because it feels very personal to me to show this process. However, I wanted to show you snippets of some of the ways I guide myself during a painting and the uneasiness that comes along with it. My goal for this channel is to show others that painting is cathartic and helps you learn so much about yourself, even if you are not interested in becoming an “artist”.
I really hope you enjoy this Art Vlog❣️🧚🏼‍♀️

Heyy! I just got recommended by youtube and actually I'm surprised that you are just starting with the channel, 'cause everything is so beautifully set up, the editing, the painting, drawnings, the camera angle, your voice with the music in the background... I'm for sure coming back here to see more videos of yours!!

[@renarisby]

Awh Thank you so so much! I really appreciate those kind words. More videos are definitely coming soon :) 🌷❤️

[@julianna4689]

I agree!!! I am trying to do the same thing ( have not yet started ) currently building out my studio but the editing and the way this is filmed is truly beautiful! You make it look easy but I know how much work it takes to capture certain angles , etc. here to support and show love 💕

[@oldglory5728]

Amazing maturity and vision! You have a brilliant future ahead of you. Patience is something I struggle with too in painting. Your love for gramps really shows, bless you. Subscribed! Wait, have you adapted a paintbox to a photo tripod with a quick release? I thought I had the only hack like that. (And I found my beautiful maple box in the trash of an abandoned house)

[@sassyqueen9739]

Me too

[@suhreels]

The portrait of your grandpa is amazing, very cute reaction from him at the end. This video was so calming to watch :) also your space is so bright and pretty :o

[@renarisby]

awh :) thank you so much, I really appreciate those kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video 💜

[@justpeaceful6899]

[@carolbenavidez2228]

Just found you. What a beautiful, calming video! Even the "ugly stage" of your painting was gorgeous. Love how you made your grandfather smile. Hope you continue to make videos!

[@renarisby]

thank you

[@inspiration9136]

Grandpa loved it so sweet

[@claybeadsbabe]

In the end your grandfather smile was like omg. That part i don't want to forget because i feel grandfather smiles was very precious .

[@lubear2210]

You have a beaming aura, a pure heart 🤍 I’m so glad to have found u & I can’t wait to see what you have more in store for the world to see ✨

[@renarisby]

thank you so much

[@dejaamelle]

Your studio is so dreamy, this video is so whimsical. I'm absolutely in love with your art style and the way you've captured your grandfather. Please keep making videos if you can! Such an inspiration 💗💗

[@cinnacassie]

Your grandpa's reaction of his portrait was just absolutely wholesome :"") wuahh this video was so healing to watch

[@lizzzzcm]

the smile of your grandpan when he sees the painting is SO precious :"") you're so talented, i loved your art and i'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!! you're doing amazing! ps: i love your pink hair, it's beautiful!!

[@SIRKISSHY]

this is inspiring me to draw my dad, he's in his late 60s and i'm in my early 20s. i normally wouldn't think of gifting my family anything that requires my artistic energy because of emotional detachment with most of them, but my dad cares about me and i wanna spend as much time with him as possible after i move back in with him. this video really sparked the idea of preserving a person's essence into something tangible, withstanding time for future generations, done with care, while also sharing a part of me with the person. i really want to know what it feels like to see my dad light up at art of him by his own daughter. thank you, genuinely, for creating this. i'm glad this was in my recommendations. also you look amazing, and so does your studio. love the calming energy, and such a brilliantly done painting!

[@ricottacheese245]

I think about this video every once in a while and come back to rewatch it

I love seeing a new KZbin channel to subscribe to 😁

[@simpleartofhealing286]

Nice work! I wish I had gone to art school. It is true for sure what you're saying about the stress involved in pumping out paintings! It would cause me stress too but on the flip-side, this teaches you to push yourself to learn at a faster rate. This discipline is something, at fifty-eight years old, I still haven't accomplished! I seem to start things with great enthusiasm, take forever and then abandon because they feel stale, or I'm bored of the subject or lesson. A.D.D.?! Not sure. I have the talent, the patience and the desire but everything seems to exist in the sketchbook partially finished or overworked. I see others learning, painting and finishing but I just never seem to have enough time to do studies that I learn from. They feel rushed and/or unfinished and I lose confidence and enjoyment of it! Anyway, you're lucky to have learned this discipline as it is totally necessary but I can imagine it's quite stressful also at times!

[@KMSFashions]

Such a beautiful talent. I enjoyed getting to know a little about you and your passion. Keep shining, doll. 🥰🙌🏾😍

[@goldentimetay]
