Find Inspiration for your Art ✨Botanical Garden, Paint with me 🌸Cozy Art Vlog | Overcome Art block

Feeling uninspired and unmotivated? Here is how I push myself out of any Art Block / Creative Block and find new ideas for my Art and a new oil painting on canvas. I will show you that you can find inspiration no matter where you live. Sometimes you just have to stand up and chase inspiration ⭐️ All the struggle, drawing, painting, planning etc. leads to a big oil painting. Also YouTube sent me the Silver Award a few days ago and I will unbox the package with you guys :)

I am Selftaught and we don´t learn painting techniques etc at our school. As I said in the last videos, I have my knowledge from books and the Web. Most of them are free :)
Inspiring book:
-Listen to podcasts, audiobooks while painting. Time flys while you create. And it makes the first steps of sitting down and beginning to create easier and you get even smarter.

Dear Valerie, I am 75 years old and you inspire me so much. You are wise beyond your years. Your work is beautiful. Congratulations on your award, most deserved.

You’ve inspired me to start painting again. I’ve been so focused on studying that I’ve forgotten the happiness that art gives me and I’m so grateful that you’ve reminded me of how much I love art

Thank you so much for all your content ☺️

I am at a period in my life where I feel deeply lost. I've been on youtube for hours, and I just came across your videos. It was the first time in a long time that I felt at peace! Thank You **

[alfrottos]

Honestly wow Valerie, every single time your videos blow me away. I remember stumbling upon your channel when you only had like 3 videos up. It's insane the growth and production levels you have done within that small time-frame and I'm so happy that a person as wholesome as you were given this opportunity. Your art and personality make me gain so much inspiration and I'm so thankful to have found this channel. You deserve the silver button so much, can't wait to see where we'll be in the future. Thank you ! <3

The angles that you use, the beautiful music, your calming voice, I’m just so so impressed by you and OF COURSE your insane talent for art. I’m hooked forever. Congratulations 🎉

My dear friends, no matter how you look, you're beautiful in your own way. Keep smiling so you'll look beautiful everyday. No matter what people say, you're still unique and talented ✨To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness and be the love you never received 🦋! May your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.💗

Valerie, you are one powerful young lady! You are wise beyond your years and I wish I had known what I now know when I was at your age. Thank you for shining your bright light in this difficult world, you are blessed.

She got a silver play button 🥺 congratulations Valerie 💜 you absolutely deserve it ✨

[deniselarrybekkedahl]

Watching you focus inspires me to focus. Hearing your encouragement for others to be persistent—to learn from their surroundings, and to never give up—inspires me to be persistent, to see the beauty in my own world, and to never walk away. You have no idea how powerful your message is. Thank you so much for taking the time and creativity to make these videos. Oh . . . and your paintings are absolutely stunning!

[donmcallister]

You are a extremely talented artist… and lovely.. woman! Such a warm person 👌💐

Oi, Valerie! Eu sou brasileira, tenho 15 anos e descobri seu canal recentemente. Estudo arte e nunca encontrei alguém ou algo que me deixasse confortável o suficiente pra me fazer chorar nesse ramo. Te acho uma artista muito talentosa, e te admiro, espero um dia ter tanta calma e organização que nem você. Me inspiro em você, obrigada por fazer esses vídeos, eles me fazem mais feliz!!

[frambuesa]

All you do feels like a home, it helps keep finding soft places among everything, thank you so much for the shared gentleness

Valerie, I just received your videos by chance in my stream today. What luck! I am in awe of your serenity and strength! I started watercolor painting during Covid and it was truly my saving Grace! I too, have been able to teach myself many things, arts, crafts and other talents. I am almost 70 now, and I say that creativity is the joy in life! Keep on following your dreams-never give up! So happy to be a new subscriber! Joyous!❤️

[ozvidart]

That purely joyful look on your face says it all! Your joyfulness, insights, and passion are contagious to all of us. Congratulations and keep up the good work! This video even had me smiling by the end.
