The Artist Mindset - How to Grow As an Artist

[@Cooki_crew]

As an 14 year old artist you have made my mind like a real real artist,I appreciate your videos

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

This is the happiest news I could receive today. I love to inspire the next generation! 😊 I'm glad you found encouragement from this video.

[@jmhrn52]

I absolutely LOVED this, I need to be reminded that consistency is key to growth and development. Whenever I take time to create, I'm frequently surprised about how well it turned out! So, thank you for this I and especially loved that mentioned the Bible and how you applied it to your art and the process of growth; well done!!!❤

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Wow! I'm so glad to hear this. Thanks for the feedback. I really do believe that we are "created to create." When we do, we can experience a lot of peace. [Of course, there are times I get frustrated too. Which usually means I just have to take a step back and get perspective]. :-) I hope you experience that lovely SURPRISE of creation again today. God bless you!

[@gwenjanzen5638]

I too so appreciate todays video and the bible content. I find i need to be reminded, often, of the steps to growth & that sometimes my steps are imperceptible. Thank you.

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

You're welcome. Have a great day and I hope you can find a time to paint and/or create in some way today. God bless you! ~Kris

[@neonmoon8356]

Thank you for this. I just had a painting I worked hard on go sideways at the last moment, so I was feeling pretty down about it. But you're right, mindset is a big part of the process.

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

On almost a daily basis, I find that a shift in my mindset (which for me almost always has to do with prayer), totally changes my experience...my emotions...even my decisions! I know that many others have this experience too. It is powerful. I hope you are able to tackle that painting again....with a fresh mindset...and are encouraged. Have a great day!! :-)

[@mharris7832]

Love your encouragement and words of wisdom.....I have been painting now for two months.....Im a happily addicted!!

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Wonderful! That's awesome. It is a wonderful past-time. Good for the heart and soul! Have a great day!! ~Kris

[@CHCHNZ461]

Thanks so much Kris, absoluut perfect time for me to hear this advice. Thanks again for providing hope and to trust the process, and keep shining your bright light.

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Will do. Thanks for the encouragement! :-)

[@beckysumrall6443]

Love these analogies. It helps to step back and reflect on the entire process instead of tunnel vision I often have. Thanks so much.

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback. I felt inspired to create a video on this topic, and from all the feedback and comments I am getting, it looks like others needed to hear these words. That is my hope for this channel -- that it is an encouragement and source of helpful instruction. Have a great day!!

[@laurav8408]

Thank you Kris. I loved this video. I remind myself that I am working with professionals; they know what their job is, it's mine to trust them, and to improve my knowledge and skills to keep up with them. 🎉

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Skill building is HUGE. Keep at it!

[@jg1964]

You nailed, thanks

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Thank you so much. This message was on my heart. I'm glad it resonated. :-)

[@vilmab5190]

Great advice, applicable to all areas of life! Thank you for sharing. I’m sure it’s going to help many of us change our mindset! ❤️🙏🏼

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Thank you. I agree. So important to consider our mindset...in every area of life. Have a wonderful day.

[@babycakes1949]

Couldn’t have said it better myself! The one word I might add to the equation is ‘work’. Learning this medium has involved years of study for me and I’m far from mastering it. Watercolor is just downright HARD! Thanks for a great video.

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

I absolutely love this comment. Thank you. I agree. It is work. For me...I think the concept of work is contained in the idea of painting DAILY. That takes discipline and fortitude...which looks a lot like WORK! Have a great day and keep on learning and growing!

[@tahalaperigo9771]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ fabulous positively true, every thing that you mentioned in this video so thank you

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

You are so welcome

[@VickiWalton]

Thank you for this! Thank you for such a great reminder. I already had enjoyed your videos, but this is probably your best video of all.

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Oh wow. Thanks! That is nice to hear. I put a fair bit of thought and work into it. :-)

[@jesswoodhere]

Play and play and play. That is my advice. Loved the video! And thank you for talking about the ultimate Creator and Artist - Jesus ✝️

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Yes. I agree. Curious exploration and play can lead to wonderful discoveries. Thanks for the feedback! ✝️

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

[@faryallone968]

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Thank you very much

[@soniaradhakrishnan3398]

This is such a lovely video imparting some very key points in a very simple way. Thank you this is something I had to listen to to push my self forward 😊 There is so much to learn from artists like you

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback.

[@mendyhand3895]

Great advice and truth ! Thanks for your channel, and my motivation comes from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I love painting His creation! He is the Master Of Creating, so it’s my privilege to paint for Him, everyday. Your new classes look great! Thx again, - Messy Mendy 👍🎨🖌🙏🏻

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Hi again Messy. I have a license plate on my car that reads -- "Watercolor Artist: Created to Create" This expresses the same truth you are saying here, I believe. Glad to meet you! God Bless you.

[@mendyhand3895]

@@KrisDeBruineStudio That’s awesome Kris! I’m sitting here today with my filled “Quiller” (Meeden),Pallete; trying to put the correct names to the CRAZY names thatMission Gold assigned To the pigment numbers. I have the 36 pure pigment set. I know that you are familiar to Mission Gold, I may need to contact you later,lol! Keeping my D.S. 1/2 pans separate for now…(we will see how long that lasts. 🤗) Thx!

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Have fun!!

[@triciac.5078]

I’ve really enjoyed your videos and I’ve learned a lot. I don’t like that you’ve included religion in this latest video. Your points were good and could have been communicated without quoting the Bible.

[@KrisDeBruineStudio]

Hi Tricia. I didn't mean to offend. Just speaking from the overflow of my heart. I hope you have a great day and enjoy the process of creating something beautiful! I'm glad you are part of this community.
