    I came across your channel a few weeks ago because I decided to pick up painting with gouache, and your videos are just so good for the soul!! Not only because your paintings are just gorgeous, but the messages your attach to each video is so relatable. Your channel is definitely going to grow even more where you'll for sure be making enough for a livable income :)

    I am in my early 30s. I don't have a husband or children. I have been an English teacher but public schools in my country pay minimum wages and private ones offer lame contracts (like 10months and no money for summer break). I have always loved making art but I am too scared to start relying on that as my source of income. You are right, there's this pressure to have lots of money and climb the ladder of your career. I am grateful for my dad that, for my two brothers and for my friends. I really enjoyed this painting, I especially loveits colors. Well done!

      I TOTALLY understand that. Making the switch to full-time artist is a big commitment, and I think a lot of artists feel pressured to give it a go. But you're just as much of an artist whether it's your hobby or your career! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you so much for sharing what you're grateful for 💛

    Your narrative makes the videos. You are informative, honest and appealing. I’ve just bought some gouache paints in hopes to duplicate your results. Thank you for you helpful videos. Your channel deserves a lot more views. Keep up the beautiful work!

    this video came just when i needed it, but for somewhat different reasons i guess. i grew up in a very neglectful household where my parents did not provide for me. im still stuck there now, at 19 years old. the past few weeks ive been making efforts to improve this life, and its been working. but i have to teach my self how to do all the things other people grew up with. my parents didnt keep the house clean, or cook nutritious meals, or take care of anything they owned, or even themselves. to me, home was a dark, dirty, and chaotic place where i could never find peace.
    i find myself really longing for a life like the one in the illustration. its strange to see someone learn to appreciate something i idolize. but it does put things into perspective in a way. i can find my way to be content now, despite all the flaws, and work towards a better tommorrow. one of my first lessons ive been learning in valueing the work that goes into creating a better home. and your words in this video solidify that for me.

      I'm so, so sorry to hear that you didn't have a very nurturing childhood! I can't even begin to imagine how hard that must have been (and how hard that must still be today.) My heart absolutely breaks for you!
      Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. So often I take for granted the upbringing I had. I hope one day you can create your own, cozy, nurturing home! And I hope you find little things to appreciate in the now. 💛 It can be so difficult sometimes, but we truly can find something to be grateful for in every circumstance. 💛

    Awww I loved this video! It was honestly so warm and comforting. Your channel really does have the best vibes.
    You obviously already know a lot about my life, so for me it can be harder to just slow down and see the good in the simple things because I feel like I’m always waiting for the next bad thing to happen 🤣 but this year especially I’m trying to practice living at a slower pace and being more grateful for the things I have in the moment. For me this looks like turning doing dishes into a fun activity by listening to an audio book or tavern music. Being grateful that I’m getting to know my brother better, and slowly learning that not everyone has an ulterior motive and that they can just be genuinely nice people who care about me, etc.
    anywho, thanks for making such encouraging videos! You always remind me to take a step back and breathe. So grateful for you! ❤

    You are such a warm person, thank you for being you and all the best in your journey ❤, I know everything is gonna be fine. I am glad I am not alone and I can feel the warmth and love of people if not all the time in real life at least on social media through the good stuff people say, it makes me feel good and gives me hope. Thank you so much.

    I am grateful for having holidays next week and visiting a friend. School only gets more exhausting and i've recently lost my motivation a bit, but i am working on it. Your Artstyle is very different from mine but so cool to watch, i will work with gouache more often :)
