the time and care you put into your videos is definitely evident! your art is so unique and ever changing, and the vibes (music, studio space, commentary and toadie ofc) are unmatched! you, apple cheeks and studiomeggy are top tier art/art-vlog channels

Ooo loved this voiceover and loved this piece!! I would say don’t let the “saturated market” discourage you! I started an art channel this year and it’s actually going great :) but there’s def luck involved. Sending good vibes to anyone wanting to start a channel!!

As someone who’s watched your vids for a bit and seen your “voice” change over time, it was fun to hear your personal reflections on the changes you’ve gone through 😊 thanks for sharing!

I love your last art piece! How it developed from a few lines into this beautiful field / hikeing path. Gave me Vincent Van Gogh vibes! Loved your use of bright colours!

Really LOVE the 2nd painting - my favorite of your paintings ... it reminds me of the impressionists paintings.

That second painting with the oil pastels is stunning. It's late where I live and I'm in bed but this made me want to get up and paint.

ah both these pieces came together so magically. starts off with so much fluidity and just shape and ends so clearly as a landscape and that is an incredibly impressive and gorgeous skill! love love love these pieces and this video :)

Oh my gosh! Thank you Leigh! I don’t think I have heard anyone ever say how much editing sucks and I just want to say I feel the same way so much of the time…!! 😅 There are moments when I do enjoy it and there are definitely fun points to it (For instance, I really enjoy picking the music)- but for me personally, I find editing to be such a grind and a process that I do not like. What I do love about making YouTube videos is the storytelling. For me, finding awesome shots while filming, or capturing a certain moment that I know is gonna be really fun, or just being able to share my passion and joy for creating art makes YouTube kind of addictive.

No matter how rough I find the editing stage, I finish a video and I find myself just itching to start the next one…

I also agree with you Leigh about finding your genuine self- great advice about the practising to find your authentic self for the camera. I definitely had to go on that journey as well, and it’s interesting how awkward you feel at first. Definitely recommend just putting the videos out because practice practice practice really matters for this kind of content creation.

If you made a 4 hour video I would immediately binge it. No questions asked.

Love that you recorded that oil painting process ❤️‍🔥😍🌿, also love that thought of “when you just start there’s nobody watching” ✨

Love the oil pastel drawing, it's very pointillist!
As a fellow youtuber, I find it sometimes difficult to film as youtube is down my priority list in my art career. Or rather find time to edit, I have so many snippets of footage that just went to the bin after a while.
It's sometimes a little much to do art, work with galleries, deal with social media and the youtube channel. I find it gets overwhelming at times and so youtube usually suffers from it first in my case.

The encouragement I needed this morning. Literally sitting here procrasti-tubing instead of setting up my camera. I will continue to make videos that no one watches because I'm enjoying the making of them. Thank you! Love your work!!!

I love your art process of using 1 colour at a time. Thanks for the Youtube advice, I've been on the fence about it for a while.

I'm glad you talked about this. I started my own art channel last year thought it would be rainbows and unicorns full of creating beautiful artworks but it was hard and pretty exhausting. Documenting your works took huge efforts. It wasn't easy but when people complements or just sharing their thought in the comments are worth all of my efforts and time I invested in the video. You have my respects.

This was so peaceful and relaxing to watch! Your art making is so relaxing and it's fun to see your process! Thanks for sharing tips on YouTube. A lot of what you said was reassuring but also encouraging (lately I've been feeling stuck in small numbers and little growth). 💕✨
