You know, I take a long hiatus and then wonder "why do I even wanted to draw" then I see this and it's "yes, that's why I want to draw. I want my hands to make that". In other words, great painting!

When I lose my sanity as an artist, I come to your videos and it feels like I'm healing everywhere I feel hurt and sad. Thank you!

Being authentic. Being truly authentic with yourself is truly a masterpiece in itself.

[stephanie.kilgast]

Such a good reminder! It's easy to forget to focus on your interests in art with social media pressure.

I've watched many videos and listened to artists talk. You sir are without a doubt THE ARTIST'S PHILOSOPHER. Thank you for being so grounded and sharing that foundation with those of us just starting. Oh, By the way, I am 73, have been a photographer for over 50 years but have just last month picked up a brush to start a new channel of art. I will subscribe because I know I will learn. Thanks again and have a great year. Stay safe.

sometimes people dont know what the artist went trough to get the reults of his curent paintings. they only see result and not processes. how it happened and became, and how the inspiration is optained and manifested . maybe it is something very methapysical

I loved the food analogy. I've been really messed up lately and divided between life choices. So this was calming, thanks.

"the ones who can't help but create. Perhaps it's an unstoppable urge." I feel seen...

[dcastillo]

Even when you get some of these things you won’t feel fulfilled at times. It’s the little things day to day you learn to appreciate about being an artist / creative.

As a musician and free time beginner painter, I can agree 100%. Thanks for making this video. ^^

[mariannedickson]

Watching you paint these lines is so eternally satisfying.

Dang, just found your channel thanks to Nerdforge choosing you as the next collaborating. Didn't expect to learn so much from just the 3rd video of yours I've seen. Thanks. Has reminded me it's been a while since I've just made a piece of art entirely for fun.

I can listen to this guys voice for hours.. so smooth and wise. <3
As young I wanted to draw to be famous as older I just draw to ease my own soul, regardless of the result of the art.

You speak from my heart dude. I wont bore you with the details, but I recently found that my motivation and inspiration is greater when I set a pinpoint goal and think about why I am making a piece, be it practice, finding an artstyle, or making a portfolio piece. All part of a bigger more fulfilling goal of course.

Unstoppable urge and fun for me so I figured out the hard way I needed to drop the other aspects. The most important thing to me is not to kill my joy. Now I'm coming out of a long dry spell, rediscovering my joy in it.

[obbobo]

Whenever i draw something i want it to look cool and stuff like that and i always get frustrated bc i always think that its not good enough to show it to my friends, but so far whatever i do always gets a positive reaction out of them, so i think i should stop worrying about how it will look and just go with the flow and show them whatever i make. Thanks for the advice : )

[RJWilsonNovels]

So true- if it’s been awhile since I’ve made anything art practically bursts out of me! When I was on deployment I couldn’t create hardly anything; but in port I got my hands on some super cheap paint and made probably my favorite painting I’ve made- it bursts out!

[Mrspob]

Alpay, I’m a grandmother and I paint the portraits of my grandchildren. It gives me a great deal of warmth, pleasure and peace. I think that you are amazing and so interesting and I think I’m falling in love with you. Please, have a great great one !

[dorolicious]

You didn't aim for that... but... you kinda gave me a starting point for a ground breaking solution to my life crisis. I'm in hospital right now, e.g. because I couldn't find a way for myself to earn money and still do work that fits my character and abilities. That was crushing my soul for nearly 20 years now and I was just burned out and absolutely hopeless for my future self, to be anything like satisfied or even more than just simply existing and working.
Thank you. Really. I might be over dramatic but right now it means a lot to me. 💖

This channel makes me feel so at ease. Everytime I watch an episode I can feel myself becoming more focused on my craft and bringing a new and healthy perspective to my inner insecurities
