Cozy art vlog 🎨 finding my art style (the looong way), discovering goblincore, + embracing mistakes

One of the things artists always seem to be searching for is their unique “style”. That wonderfully recognizable quality in their work that tells the world “hey, I made this!” In today’s little painting vlog, I’ll be chatting about my own journey in finding my art style, the dangers of imitating your art heroes, and why we all need to have a little more grace on our creative practice.

Yellow and purple is the most underutilized complimentary color scheme and I always appreciate it being used.

I love your art so much! You don`t have to compare your art with others, because yours is so cute and unique. But I know the problem. I’m also compare myself with others. I often feel bad, because I’m different and the all the things I do I have the feeling I’m not really good at it. I try to learn, that it’s not about being good or have the best results. It’s about doing the things we love and enjoy and which are good for us….mentally and physically. So I guess we are all in the process of learning and we all should try to be more relaxed. A good advice I heard is to always talk to yourself like you would talk to a good friend. Sending you my best wishes from Germany!

My favorite bit of this piece is the cinnamon sticks in the jar. And, thank you for the reminders not to be such an overthinker.

Thanks for sharing this lovely, relaxing video! I love hearing you talk about art and watching your paintings, such a cozy, warm vibe!

I have that same identity crisis with you. Your talent and skill levels are my goals

[@lidiakrajewskaart]

I’ve got a similar problem with using my art supplies. To the point where my gouache spoiled a little and I’ve realised that’s really stupid… 😂 So now I’m trying really hard to change my mindset to „the only wasted supplies are the ones we don’t use”.

so many great looking baked goods, makes me wish there was a bakery in town they look so good 🥰

Lovely illustration as usual Allison. I hope you had a great thanksgiving. 😊

So glad I found your channel. You are so talented! In one of your Sketchbook videos, you displayed your incredible Winnie The Pooh and The Lion King scene studies art, and I was curious if you used gouach for them? Thank you so much.

Yessss!!!! Chris Hong oh yeassss! She's so special ilustrator, and PopyCat is awesome too!

[@meniquelloyd252]

I'd love to see how you use references especially for the colour scheme

[@florackunda]

Love ❤

[@rebgreen9418]

I love your artwork very much dear! 💜🤗✨🌻

[@moonlightgator541]

Thank you for being intuitive. I think Chriss Hong is OK, but I don't want to see everyone drawing like her. 🤣🤣🤣

So beautiful 🥹🙌🏽🩷... Do the paints have a gouache consistency?
