The Life of a Painting - Documentary Short - Shot on Fuji X-T3

[@johnschoolmeesters]

This project started back in 2020 and I'm so glad I finally get to share it! There really is something special about the life of an artist and through them, a painting. Support Kendall and buy her work at the top link in the description!

When you painted over that gorgeous painting, I actually gasped 😢

[@johnschoolmeesters]

I was surprised when she told me she was painting over it, but it’s all part of the process to get to that amazing final piece!

[@karenpittman7554]

Every artist struggles like she did. Her work speaks volumes and will live long past her! Well done!

[@johnschoolmeesters]

Thank you!

[@LonelyStranger-g5u]

Not every artist struggles like she did. Quit speaking that on us. Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New York are depressing places. Everyone struggles in life, regardless. If you want to be an artist, live in a balmy climate.

[@BonchegoBonchego]

We are artists. Whether we ever make it our full-time job or not. We will create regardless because it's who we are.

14:02 I just wanna say, throughout this video I kept thinking to myself this is a special young lady. I’m interested in art and watch a lot of art vids and what struck me with this video is how this artist speaks genuinely and calmly about her at. Almost in a matter-of-fact way, no pretense but with passion. You will make it, you need to produce more and find more avenues to showcase your work. You’re being very brave (and I don’t use that term lightly) and noble with what you do. You’re already a great human with what seems to be a lovely life. I will say, perhaps you need to make some pieces that are the kind which can immediately draw people in- think, something that even non-artistically inclined people will find interesting, it’ll be like a catalyst forward. You are young, you have time

Im an artist as well, I’ve been painting for over 4 years now. I’ve always been an artist at a young age drawing all the time. I would love to be a full time artist, I get it having a full time job and doing my art after work. I love you’re artwork keep it up keep pushing one day you’re art will be in a gallery. ❤

Nice documentary. Beautiful artworks and artist space. There will be doubts but flow with the artistic process. You are blessed with this boom. Hope to see more short films in your journey 🪄🎨✨

[@johnschoolmeesters]

Thank you so much!

[@RobertoGonzalez-ot8hn]

Love the documentary, where can you buy her art work?

[@johnschoolmeesters]

Thank you! You can find Kendall’s work in the top link in the description!

[@diegoinjapan]

Very cool, thanks for sharing. It must be difficult trying to make it as an artist!

[@johnschoolmeesters]

Definitely is difficult, but I think it’s well worth it!

[@stephiemaeillustrations9677]

This is so good! ❤️

[@johnschoolmeesters]

Thanks!

Take up meditation and Mindfulness. Learn about Manifestation and your life will completely change. You are worthy of this.

[@amber588]

What do you suggest as beginners material for manifestation?

[@KUSAK100]

A very brave woman. I share her struggles as well as many other artists around the world. But she didn’t give up. She said “when you stop painting you’re not a painter anymore”, that hurted ❤️‍🩹

[@clc3897]

The best way to kill your creativity is to compare yourself to those you find on social media.

[@johnschoolmeesters]

I think finding a balanced relationship with social media as an artist is one of the hardest thing for modern artists to do. Its a great tool for attracting more eyes on your art, but at the same time can take away a lot of the joy found in creating. I think finding that balance is key!

[@fionasimagination]

Nice film. But maybe you could have shown her entire body of work more. This way it looks like all she did in a few months was that one painting.

[@johnschoolmeesters]

She definitely worked on more than just this, but the idea was to follow her journey as an artist through this one painting. It would be a cool video to look at more of her work though!

[@fionasimagination]

@@johnschoolmeesters I thought she must. Yes, that would be very cool to see. 🙂
