Hi Valerie I too was bullied when I was young and have anxiety I’m 65 but my love for nature and art has helped me immensely all these years you’re a wonderful artist and of all my KZbin art subscriptions your one of my favorites.❤️🎨

[@emic2590]

Thank you, for fighting those battles and staying yourself. For not listening to those people telling you painting and creating is useless, for we won't be here today watching some fine art and learning beautiful things. Those are the most aesthetical and calming videos on youtube. Thanks for sharing all of this with us for all the love and amazing paintings. Have a beautiful day and take great care of you!

[@neverlookback876]

You are the friend I never knew I needed. So much soul and so much honesty. Your childhood pain, people telling you to just stop being sad... All these things have had me crying since I was 5 years old. I'm 40 now, learning to draw and paint even though I can do neither, and I'm already worried about it... I find your videos calming, reassuring and giving me the love I didn't know I missed. Thank you so much ❤️

[@diamonddusk008]

I also enjoy drawing even thou I am not the best at it. Let's start an Facebook group where we share with each other our work.

[@jessamine486]

I stress about how perfect or not things look when I paint or draw so I don't enjoy it. Somehow my husband has cultivated the skill of painting just for enjoyment and the process. He gets much more out of it and does it more often. I'm trying to learn this... to do hobbies because I enjoy them not for the end product. I hope you can love your drawing and painting just for the process and the release they give. Sending love ❤️

[@Su_y2770]

There is something close to my heart and I'm trying to manifest it. I hope this makes you feel better too. "It doesn't matter if you are not good at something you love to do. Do it because it brings you happiness, peace and makes you feel content. That's what hobbies are for."

[@cavendish2453]

@@jessamine486Watercolour painting is a wonderful way to relax and be creative but, I agree, at the start most painters find it very difficult to ‘Let Go’ we all have that fear to just let our brush do the work and enjoy the moment. We worry too much about ruining paper, wasting paint and worst of all “Saying in our heads ‘I am rubbish I can not paint’ Once you have the skills and it all sinks in, it does take time but you will relax and Let Go’. When this happens, I wish you many happy years of painting. ✏️🎨🖍️

[@emilygee6618]

Something people say to console someone is " you're never alone" but I never really believed that. I felt so isolated and strange in my struggle, like no one could truly understand me. But now I have come to resize that it is true, we really aren't ever alone. There's always at least someone out there who feels and thinks and struggles the same as us. We just haven't met them yet. I hope you will remember that you aren't alone. I see you and I love you, truly❤

Valerie, I really thank you for having opened up to us. I can only imagine how hard it was for you to reveal this part of you ❤️ I highly admire you, both as a person and as a painter, and It doesn't really matter if I don't know you personally. What you create, what you say in your videos and what you do really speak to me

[@Ms_Fate]

Commenting the second time - your videos leave me speechless and to me that is the real purpose of art to leave people wordless, so they sit in silence to think deeper into what was said or done. That's a really beautiful feeling of getting lost in someone's words !! You really do magic with your videos ✨✨ keep making them !!

[@arianagetz9167]

Valerie…. This made me cry. I am so inspired by your thoughts and artwork. What a beautiful soul you are ….. “it’s extraordinary, how extraordinary ordinary people are.” We are works of art ourselves. I would love to see a studio tour. I struggle with how to set up my studio for ease of use and accessibility. Blessings to you and thanking God for the well of wisdom that is clearly within you!

[@tewfour]

Your story telling whilst showing art is amazing, very inspiring to watch

[@Miyankochan]

Personality is definitely not fixed, it's malleable. Personality is all the thoughts and feelings you believed and accepted during your lifetime and now call your own. You identified with them. As you grow up, you might start to question everything and decide to want to change. This journey is amazing and it's very well worth your effort. You discover that you are not your personality and you can choose different ideas and thoughts, ones that appeal to you much more than those which you originally identified with without question because you were small and the adults were big and smart. You can become who you want to be. You can be inspired by people you look up to. You can literally create yourself.

[@lhertzler1325]

After a lifetime of the same influences of others, I am now, at 75 trying to reclaim my true creative self, while battling chronic illness. Your video is so inspiring to me and beautiful. You are blessed to have found this wisdom early in life.

[@willettejackson979]

Always grateful for having and enjoyed my first art teacher, my mother who instilled the love of art within me. As a young child she gave until I acquired much and then she died. All still remains the same where I'm able to have and still enjoy art

[@Trissa.33]

The book 'Highly Sensitive Person' by Elaine Aaron has been helping me understand my own childhood and why I am the way I am, how I didn't fit into the world and still find it difficult. I'd recommend it so much if you relate to being a sensitive child in a world that didn't understand you.

[@Blick_Art]

We are firm believers in the healing, sustaining power of making art. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your story! There are many artists self-directing their education who should hear this. Making art is something that every person can learn to do, but each of us has to give ourselves permission to devote time and resources to art. It's an essential self-care activity, and builds skills that improve so many other endeavors!

[@risika]

I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I made the most productive changes in my life when I began practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my habits (ex. journaling/working out) - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my youtube channel. I hoping once I got the basics of taking care of myself and I can start to nurture the artist within me with the same sort of practise. And for someone like me who has been struggling with their mental health, progress feels so slow - its really inspiring to know someone who was at the same place and later grew into a calm, confident and artistic person.

[@Mymle]

That’s good to hear. I’ve been working out and it has helped my mental health, lifting weights is what I do. As for the artist in me I’m still missing that part. I’m missing the routine and consistency. Also where do I began to learn art as a beginner. I don’t want to make hyper realistic art, I want to learn composition etc. I do think it can be a form of therapy. Like working out is.

[@teehee4163]

I agree with your perspective on painting beautiful things/subjects. I have been told the same thing. Yet, I will always paint what I want to see, and who does not want to rest their eyes on something beautiful and alive? 😌

[@arushisinghal4510]

'Painting beautiful things is meaningless'. I want to tell the ones who think so that not everything in life is to be done to expect something in return. Love you Valerie ❤️

I absolutely adore how you intuitively shifted your perspective of yourself and brought out the true magic inside of you. I was also trapped for so long inside of my mind and the pressures of having a certain personality, until two years ago. Now, I truly see that anyone can be anything they truly desire, and metal can be gold.

[@mountainsno]

I am in my 50s and I admire your thoughtfulness and generosity to share with us. Taking back control of our minds is a life adjustment. There are many influences and pressures as you say. I am just speaking for myself. But I am grateful for the human spirit, that morning you awake and say to yourself "sort yourself out, what do you want? Work hard it's worth it". I have belief in good people. You are good people. But there is a lot of negativity around. I am thrilled to see so many subscribed. So many comments. Valerie you are a living example to us all. You inspire me. I wish for you and all your subscribers... peace, a reliable friend, some nice things to cherish. Safety. And a good art store and library. Best wishes. Till next time.

[@chisuku]

I commented on some or one (not sure anymore) of your previous videos and I just remembered something: My parents weren't sure if they wanted to call me Vanessa or Valerie as a child :D It's a funny coincidence but seeing you paint makes me think that in another life, I might live the way you do since I really love creating art. Seeing you say that I can become the master of my own mind does give me hope. I probably said this already, but I suffer from schizophrenia, which is a very serious mental illness. It might be hereditary, but not only. I'm currently living just fine with taking medicine daily, but I do question and hope there will be a day I can live without meds, but I am not sure if that day will come. What your mom said to you sounds very hurtful. My parents don't support me creating art, so I kind of stopped doing it as a result, even though I used to be extremely creative before my illness hit and I was hospitalized. Even though I don't create anything currently, I definitely haven't given up on it. Art is kind of a reflection of your soul, that's why it's so precious.

[@elodiecorea7798]

If that's what soothes your soul and your mind go for it. That could be the beginning of becoming the master of your mind...

[@Mymle]

@@elodiecorea7798 I think that’s interesting, I struggle with some mental health problems too. But yea I never saw being creative as a strength before. Your comment helped me see it in a new light :)

Thank you Valerie ! For inspiring and motivating me ! I, for a long time wanted to start painting with watercolour and other mediums, but I just didn’t have the courage to take a brush and start, because the words “what if it doesn’t turn out good??” were in my mind. Now that I have discovered this video, I think I am ready to start this journey of learning something new, a hobby ,but also knowing myself and discovering myself. From now on, I am not stopping myself anymore. Thank you again 💓💓💓

Whether or not you believe is personality can change depends on your definition of personality.

Also all of your paintings are so beautiful and inspiring thank you for sharing it with us!

I feel I am on a similar journey to you. I have always wanted to escape to a different world, never feeling seen or understood. After many years of struggling and growing I now want to create a world in which I feel like I belong. One which brings me joy, even if it does not fit the norm. Where I can be melancholic, and wear what I want, and create art and follow my passions. Thank you Valerie ❤

[@andriikozachuk1378]

There are Personality & Individuality. Personality is coping mechanism for everyday survival. Individuality is your True Self (or Spirit if you are spiritual). You can have multiple personalities, but only one Individuality. So you shrank your personality & let your True Self shine. Your video is classic Cinderella story, very impressive. Great mental work, God bless you!

You have such a lovely soul with a beautiful mind and thoughts. To answer you question, i definitely think that you can become everything you want, your mind is the limit, the more you think about the idol human you want to be, the closer you get to actually becoming and being that human. We humans don’t understand how powerful our mind is and how blessed we are compared to every other creation.

I think the time in-between them is perfect, it gives me time to really absorb all of your messaging.😊 The articulation of your perspective on life is so engaging and thought provoking and, this time, exceptionally emotional.

Sewing is very precious to me. It got me through some lonely times and happy ones. But recently, I am venturing into filming and nature. Even looking for enchantment. The shift was very unexpected and I feel more freedom within myself. My disposition has become more sunny. I indeed feel like a different me, wuth a more forward and active personality

[@cedarmccloud]

I experienced something similar where I spent many years only making art that expressed the rock bottom, darkest emotions I was in at the time, only to later feel like doing so had stopped helping me and was contributing to staying in that dark place. I changed what I made art of, but I didn't quite have the realization about making art of what you *want* in your life, or in your mind. I think I did that to some degree, but hearing it said out loud makes me want to consciously make art with that attitude. I used to be so sunshiney and bubbly in my creations and also felt others look down on me for it, eventually absorbing their views. In fact there is still a part of me watching this video that feels skeptical. But I think that is a sign that I need a change. Thank you for your thoughtful, gentle encouragement!

IMHO, a personality represents a person’s default way of viewing and responding to the world around them. Sort of like a wind that blows us in a certain direction if we don’t fight it. Some winds are good and some are not. You’re an old soul, Valerie. That a pretty cool thing, in my opinion. :) BTW, I still have my rocking horse!

Thank you for making me feel motivated again to do arts. These past few days I felt lazy and lack of motivation to create pieces. I really love your videos! It's so relaxing and meditating. - Your fan from the Philippines 💞

I just also have to make another comment, it's regarding art school. I got into public art school as well, in a dark time in my life, and I would probably have indulged in those bad feelings. We did no learn any art theory / classic art theory what so ever. It was mostly modern art, so it was not a good place for me to be. I'm so happy I dropped out of art school after the first year! It probably did help me regain a good sense of stability :D What would become of me, I don't know but I probably would be depressed. I know it's my job to take responsibility for my learning, but I'm not really skilled in any art so it's crazy they let me in art school in first place. I wonder how many people like you who are interested in classic art, actually are in public art school. It seems to be like a trend within modern art to make very personal but abstract "art pieces." Hmm, I don't know.

Dear Valerie, Thank you for inspiring me with your every video, for your words that make me think and feel something, and for your painting process that soothes me. You feel like an elder sister/best friend💖 who supports us by making us question the little things of life and show us it's wonder as well! Thank you so much✨

Honestly Valerie I am so relieved to see that someone is there out in the world who thinks like me. I love drawing and writing. I told people i wanted to spend my life with art. All i met with were faces full of disappointment. They tried to make me feel downtrodden, even going as far as to say that you don't care about your parents and you are choosing the easy path so you don't have to think about them. Literally it almost got to me. But then i remembered that their saying won't change my feelings about my parents. I love them and I'll always love them. But then what about me? I have myself also to think about. This thought has kept me grounded all these years. Sure you can change metal into gold! But instead of having gold to support gold why not have nothing and create gold out of nothing?!
