I Made ART EVERYDAY for a Month ✨ The Artist's Way pt 5

〰️

hello~✸
In this series, I'm exploring the different tasks from the book "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. For weeks 7, 8, & 9, I made art every single day! I did a lot of drawing, painting, and even started some ring wax carvings. Follow along and join in on the prompts, let me know how it's going for you~ :)

Stopped in my tracks when you said "when we can't do something it really means we won't do it unless we can do it perfectly." That's something I really needed to hear right now.

[heyjennylee]

i LOVE that you just went out and got the basic supplies to try out jewelry making. the rings you designed and carved turned out so well! also, as a person who is nearly 40, let me assure you that it seems like we’ll NEVER be too old to take creative risks <3

[despairsister]

this series has been so comforting as an artist post grad… makes me feel not alone in the burnout and that inspiration will always come back <3

[PeachyPatriot]

You’re such an inspiration to me.

I’m 34 and have often began to feel like, “I’m too old to be drawing such-and-such…”

My step son and my daughter are a huge inspiration to me. Both creative and both gamers. I have recently been able to tap into my inner child again and have been drawing all of the first gen Pokémon again and I’m loving it. It’s inspiring my kids to be creative as well. They get bummed about not being “as good as me, ” but I told them that it took me 20+ years of practice to get to where I’m at. To keep going.
Do 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 stop 👏🏻

And it is a reminder for me as well.

Major kudos to my new husband as well for being so supportive of my art and creativity.
We turned our massive walk in closet into a duel art studio and music studio AND library/reading room. It is amazing and I am so so thankful for his care and support.

You are so so right in having a perspective shift about “being thankful for being able to have bad days, ” or something in that vein. What a bumbling point of view.

I’m so thankful for the algorithm (for once) for recommending your channel to me 🙏🏻

Also. I love your back-to-front art style. I want to give that a try. Colors down first and then added detail with a liner ink pen.

♥️

(Didn’t check for typos because my text screen was jumping around all weird. My apologies if something is weird or wonky in spelling or grammar 😅)

Edit: I also watch Gordon Ramsays shows while I art lol
That’s so funny and awesome 😄

Just a quick note on the age thing: I remember being your age (says the ancient swamp hag, apparently), and feeling that same resistance to doing new things in case I was doing them "wrong" or taking too many risks. I'd love to say I found a way to make that nagging fear shut up and go sit in a corner while I did all the things, but sadly, I did not, and I let it keep me from doing a lot of things that might have been really good for me, or really fun, at least.

The good news is that once you get to be right around fifty...those fears seem to light themselves on fire and disappear like the mirages they are. I've talked to so many creative women of a certain age (ahem...mine), and almost universally, everyone says that there's a point where we just stop caring about the unimportant nonsense. We don't care if it's a risk, and we know that we'll regret the things we didn't do more than the things we did. We don't care what other people might think; we're not doing it for them anyway. We're not worried about wasting time or materials, because we've seen over and over again that even the failed experiments give us new ways of thinking or new things we've learned along the way.

It doesn't help you much NOW, obviously, but when those thoughts hit you, I hope you'll remember that one day, when you're a crotchety old fart like us, all those things that you feel are holding you back are going to go the way of the dodo. Hopefully, even if they're too big to overcome right now, you'll know there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, so just keep going. :)

BOK CHOY IS ART. I stand them up on each person’s plate. Gorgeous!!! Bok Choy 🥬 yayy

[thearcherchild]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! I cried a little bit since you're so passionate about the things you want to do and I'm wishing I could be the same too. I've been procrastinating about the things I want to do since my perfectionism gets the best of me. Definitely reading and taking notes from the book. And also thanking you for making a series like this.

[nicr]

Hi Tiffany! I love how this series is going so far and I’m so happy you share this type of content with us. This series had help me to try new things in my life and don’t be scared. Thank you so much!!

P.S: I love how the squirrel lies down when it see the bunny 😂😂 It’s so cute.

[Wjed]

Your style becomes more like leigh style. The neon green color and the dogs style at the end!

Hey girl! I live in Vegas too and I’ve been silversmithing out of my apartment here for a few years now. I took a 2 day class at the Bead Jungle taught by a guy who travels through occasionally (I believe his name is Dave Smith🤔) and he teaches you how to make a silver and stone bezel set pendant. That’s how I started out! 🤗❤

I have come full circle! First time commenting, but this was the first video of yours that I watched when I discovered your work months ago, and it's the one that made me go back and watch your vlogs from the start. It's so funny to see how differently I perceive it now that I have more context but at the same time how nostalgic and lovely it is to catch up to it. This entire series about The Artist Way is so inspiring to me. I have been watching them very slowly to let everything sink in and allow myself to think about all the beautiful messages you're sharing as you went through these steps. Some day I'll do this book on my own as well, you have definitely inspired me to ❤ Thank you for being you, and for creating, and thank you for all that you do!

Such a calming and inspiring videos! This Artist's Way series helped me find you lovely channel! While, I am not an artist this series is inspiring joy for creativity even if it is just coloring! Morgan Harper Nichols has a quote that says "may you encounter sunrises that sing to you it is not too late for you." So this series is motivating me for goal setting! For example, I could do a 30 day walk challenge including outdoor walks and YouTube walking workouts like Grow With Jo. I have been watching different planner and goals videos here on YouTube like Mariane Cresp video about her well-being planner, Tiffany Shelton 12 week Year goal planning videos, JashiiCorrin mental health journal videos with ideas like self-care bingo, and Helen from the channel TheCoffeeMonsterzCO journal and planner videos! Kennedy from the channel Cozy K has cozy hobbies to try videos that would be nice for self-care!

I’m currently waiting on my copy of the artists way to arrive, and this just made me even more excited for the continuation of my own art journey :))

[vortexofpaingrl]

I loved this especially your openness and vulnerability with things

[darkcaeol]

I wanted to thank you again Tiffany for posting this type of video!! im super stressed right now because its almost college admissions annoucement day...and your video helped my calm down <3

[flamingoliz]

This was great, I have fallen out of habit of drawing and painting and need to get back into it. I really liked your art, especially the spread with the animals and the trees. I used to do metalwork in art school and I miss it. I did casting and made things including rings, as well as fabrication with sheets of metal. Some help- there's softer waxes out there that artists use to sculpt detailed things on top of the blue hard wax (the stuff I used was reddish pink or black in color), I think that will help you get more of the detail you're after. Take care ❤

[largojunkie]

It's so nice seeing you so happy in yourself. This series is very helpful and inspiring. Also I love your creamic doggo spread and the bow ring design. All the best. x

[Scribble_Rodent]

I can’t express how much I appreciate this series, the process that this book put you through to show up for yourself and keep up better habits for your creative mind and while my creative self is still healing I’ve been able to establish a healthy way to manage my mental health and relationship with myself and other people as well as my creativity. Your videos as well are just so cozy and have brought me so much comfort and have helped guide me through creative blocks and burnout. 💚💚💚💚✨✨✨

[ramengirll]

I could relate to so many things you said here.. Also it was so pleasing to watch you explore your surroundings and take us with you on your like "artsy" trips.. I'm looking forward to your next vlog!

[ClumsyFaerie]

I’m on week one I can’t decide if I like knowing what’s coming orrr not as I quite like surprises but I also love these videos! Super motivating to stick with it. I was watching tofu goob and she mentioned the book I then looked it up couldn’t decide whether or not to get it and then I came across your video talking about the same thing so had to it felt like a sign (even though I know technology just listens to you) but yeah I just got the kindle version and so far I’m enjoying it and already finding the root of my creative block (or at least part of it) it’s a wonderful realisation and I’m so excited to get to that point where sitting to draw or create just comes naturally. I really miss that part of myself. Really happy for you and that this journey is working for you! Looking forward to watching more of your videos and working along side you💚💚 sending lots of love and inspiration your way ✨✨✨💚💚
