Beautiful

I'm working backwards through your videos Kayleen and discovered this one! Thanks for this advice it is very sound and comes at a time when I realise I need to do more 'quality' practice, rather than producing work simply to post on Instagram. For 3 years that has been very beneficial in pushing me to practice and gives me great motivation, but I'm starting to think it is also stifling some of my progression and improvement in the different forms of creativity that I love. This video has shown me I am right feeling this way, so I'm off to work out what I love the most (out of the many mediums I am trying) at the moment and do some 'quality' practice, for better or worse! Thank you once again!

Thanks for sharing your difficult week Kayleen. I can imagine how this 'interruption' and the distraction that it has created for you, will have stalled your creative energy. It sounds like after the initial shock and irritation, you have resolved some of the issues, and I hope you will be in your creative space very soon. Your tips about organising your studio were very helpful. My art space is a small room, that is best described as a room initially designed to be a small lounge room, or dining room. It has been my little lounge room, but when I took up art 6 years ago, it has quickly transformed into my art space! I do get overwhelmed by all my tools and bits and pieces and lack of good storage doesn't help. I recently had a re-vamp of the area and it works much better, but I will take some of your tips to do some more 'sorting' I think! I do waste a lot of time trying to find things! Just to resonate with the interruptions - watching this video has taken twice as long because of needing to put it on pause constantly. My husband thinks I'm just watching telly I'm sure and starts conversations continually!

Kayleen, I recently lost my lease on a beautiful summer studio. I was very upset at first but adopted an attitude like yours. Now 2 months later, another opportunity has come my way. Remain positive. Something good can come of this. Love your work.

That title is crazy, did he like boop the wall or CLEAN THROUGH?

Hope nobody was hurt!

Hi Kayleen. I'm watching this video on my TV and just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying it! I love that you showed how you improvised when you forgot your easel, and I could feel how frustrated it must have been to lose that time in painting. Every time I go to my art group, or outside sketching there is at least one thing I forget! Even though my art bag is packed most of the time. I haven't tried pastel as yet, as I'm busy trying so many other mediums, and pastel looks a little too messy perhaps! However, I love what you do with it and the layers of colour and shapes you can achieve with it. Thanks for the inspiration! This colder weather has kept me inside, but I need to be braver I think. I'm always in a good place painting in nature! Best wishes Robyn

I did it was very moving thank you so much for all you do. ❤️💕🕊️🦋🌷🙏

Thanks for sharing your studio and for your encouraging words. Congratulations on your award too ! Beautiful painting

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm just now starting to want to put myself in the art community any advice on where to start would be appreciated. Thanks again. All the best, from Joshua Tree, CA. ❤ 🎨 🖌 ❤

I love this thank you 🙏

Blessings

I wouldn’t mind seeing a vid of you working with the pan pastels

I am glad I found you Kayleen. We are very much alike and in the same place in life. I am signed up for a Dawn Emerson workshop in the near future to see the creative ways she uses Pan Pastels. Please keep the videos coming.

Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your experience of your art journey. Such good advice! Looking forward to the next one!

Excellent advice and insights. Thank you for sharing. It's the pep talk that I needed. Love the idea of seasons, try whatever medium you want, do it for the fun of it. Take the stress out of doing art. Do it for the joy. ❤

I was on the verge of throwing in the towel with my painting. But your video just convinced me not too. Thank you!

Wow, did this video come at the right time. I share my work on Facebook. I've been doing a painting every day. Inevitability, I get friends who rave or are amazed. From this, I've started to get commissions. The stress level goes up, for sure. Suddenly, it's not about the fun and joy. it's about the skill and happiness of the customer. Yesterday, I posted something, and one comment was, "That's not good." She could have said she didn't like it. But it crushed me. I realized I was only painting for likes... oops. From now on - after watching this... I'm going to paint for MY joy. Thank you.

Thank you!

I'm often put off because I don't want to ruin the paper with potential crappy work...😮😊

Beginner in painting, later in life (ex-sculptor): I stick to "would I rather do that or watch TV or whatever else?" & every 3-4 months, "which parts have improved some?" Also, take breaks, enjoy other things, don't put all your self worth into those bits of canvas. Great video with insight & nuance.

Wow. Well said. “To do what you’re told to do is to silence you” So true.

This was a wonderful video ❤ Thank you. My medium is music but i do the visual side too to my creation as a whole package. I realise that the hard work i put into my last musical release, i just don't want to do that anymore it was too much, i put my everything to it and now i just want to find a more joyful path overall into making art and more sustainable path in a way that even if i give it my all, it wont be so draining. I am very aware how my struggle is heard in the music and i don't like it. I try to remember why i even started this madness of a journey with art but it's always about freedom of being my true self and creating worlds

Very inspiring, thank you for sharing...

Love the finished piece, especially the figure. It brings a real story to life 😊

Lovely!

Beautiful tree Kayleen. You did a superb job!

so gorgeous!!! i wish i could be a amazing painter like you :) <3

🎉🎉you are a great artist & great blessing!!🎉🎉

What a beautiful piece of furniture! The roses look so pretty!

You are amazing...the end result was just insane. Please keep making videos...

Loved watching your video, thanks for the insights into your sketches. Beautiful!

Tip: If the rest of UA-cam watchers are like me; you might want to edit the videos and speed it up. Nobody wants to watch you trying to cut a square for 7 minute and applying glue for another 3 minutes. 23 Minutes to watch someone paste a piece of paper is too boring.

Great artwork. Excellent sketches and illustrations. You Drew from real Life . I like the painting of the bridge. A *fantastic artist* Wonderful colours . Happy unbirthday:) Keep sharing

I love your work!!

Welcome back!

Beautiful art as usual!

My computer has gone blank so dont know how to get them or keep them when I can get them

Is the A3 stable enough? I mean, can you lay the hand you use while drawing on it, without it moving or feeling unstable please?? That means adding some weight, that I can't tell if the A3 can take, have you catch yourself laying your drawing hand on the beard while drawing? Thanks in advance

Hi Kayleen. there isn't a need to protect the gold with a topcoat? thank you

Lovely work, very artistic and interesting to watch. I trying to find a different pen to decorate some of my handmade fishing floats, I currently use Isographs, but I'm finding them a bit tricky on varnish, so I am going to try and source a pen like yours. Do you think they would be ok on varnish at all ? Many thanks.

Hi! Where do you buy this paint?

Does it work best on distressed finished ... or can it use it to highlight the ornate work on a dresser I am about to complete (painted in one flat color) ?

When u say “filler” though, what did u use? That’s the hard part

I do stain art, but I stain around the piece I’ve drawn. Do you stain the rest of the piece? I got the Coptic pens today as I’m about to work on a commissioned cedar chest, but not sure how this will work with regular stain. I’ve tried to find your finished piece, but haven’t found it yet. I just love this.

Where do you buy the ink pens? I love this for stain art!!

What a great tip! I’m into refurbishing old thrift store jewelry boxes. Relining them is not one of my favorite things to do. This will save so much time and it appears in your video to give a professional look. Thank you!
