The Art of Creating Calm: Swatching & Gratitude Journal Demo
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 09. 2023
- Hey Beautiful Creatives!,
How do you create calm in your life? Art is my normal go-to for calming an anxious mind. I love doing something simple like contour drawings or swatching. I've been experiencing a lot of overwhelm and anxiety lately so in this video I took the new set of MeiLiang watercolors that I received and swatched them out. It was so relaxing! Then I did a fun bluebird painting with them in my gratitude journal. The full, narrated, real-time painting demo will be up on my Patreon after this video posts to CZcams. I hope you enjoy the video! I talk to you in the comments or if you are a Patreon in the new private Facebook group.
Be Well,
Linda

Thanks for watching and letting me know that you enjoyed it! 🤗
Bluebird ❤ I really needed to relax too, and watching this was perfect. Swatching is such a joy isn’t it. Thank you for the video!
I’m so glad it helped! Thanks for watching and sharing 🙏💕
BlueBird! Linda made me buy them and they are amazingly good! Thank You Linda!
I’m so glad you enjoy them because I really have fun with both sets! I don’t feel fussy or frugal with them at all. Thanks for watching!🪺🐦⬛
bluebird ... love your painting & video. you are very gifted. we all need to calm. I just lost my 92 yr old mom last week & plan to do a gratitude & prayer journal together with painting. God bless you!!!
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. It’s wonderful that you’re going to start a gratitude and prayer journal. It’s such a powerful practice! 🙏💕
Bluebird. Those watercolors are such a gem. So pretty. I love your painting. The colors are so cheerful. The whole video was very calming. Enjoyed every bit of it. ❤
Thank you, my friend! Thanks for watching! 🪺🐦⬛
Hi Linda! I so enjoyed your video but still more your enthousiasme. It makes me want to take up my brushes and spread joy! Thank you for the beautiful bluebird💝💝💝
Thanks so much for your lovely comment!
this was very beautiful! thank you! not just visually, my emotionally. i appreciate the work you put into it!
Thanks so much! I’m really glad that you found it helpful 💕
Bluebird. I enjoyed watching your video today. I think the watercolour set had beautiful colours. Thankyou for sharing your gratitude journal.
Thank you for watching and letting me know that you enjoyed the video! 🐦⬛🪺
Wow… that set has a LOT of colours! New palettes of watercolour pans are soooo beautiful ❤; that palette is so different, it’s really nice! I like to have a set of inexpensive paints for playing around and trying out different combinations of colours, or practicing, without using my more expensive paints. You might not get the exact same results as pricier paints, but it’s still nice for testing different approaches for colour combinations.
I totally agree! 🎨🖌️
Bluebird! I just got mine this week. Swatched this morning…lovin these.
Thanks for watching! 🪺🐦⬛
Bluebird❤ that new set has some gorgeous colors!
It really does! 🎨🖌️
Bluebird

I am new to your videos and I resonate with your energy and spirit. I wish you well as you wisely care for yourself. I will care for myself too. Thank you so much!
Welcome to the channel! Thank you so much for your very sweet message. 🙏💕
Blue bird is beautiful. How wonderful to play with a new watercolor set! yeah. Thanks for sharing Linda. I put it in my basket on Amazon...as if I need more watercolor. haha
I agree, it’s hard to resist a new watercolor palette 🎨 Thanks for watching 🙏💕
Bluebird ❤. So pretty!
Thanks for watching!
blue bird - again :)
Oh, what a great reminder, I forgot that I used to do that with a secret word. Thanks for watching!

Bluebird so fun
Thanks for watching and letting me know that you enjoyed it! 🪺🐦⬛
Bluebird. Loved this video. I don't need any more wateecolours, but I put these on my list of possible art supplies to gift my niece.
I really enjoy using this set in my art nest because it’s sort of a mix between watercolor and gouache. It has a nice mixture of opaque colors.
Bluebird love it
Thanks for watching!
This looks like a really interesting set, i've never heard of this brand before 😮
I’ve definitely been enjoying them! 🪺🐦⬛
Bluebird. I'm waiting for the books. I'm studying the Great Masters one, and also one about Basquiat. I've got some reading to do!😂Thanks Linda ❤my best to Don 😊be happy
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy the books 📚
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ stay safe and bless
Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! 🪺🐦⬛💕

Bluebird! (Sialia sialis). Delightful video. Have a great weekend. -From a former bluebird box monitor. :)
Thanks for watching and letting me know that you enjoyed the video! 🪺🐦⬛💕
Lovely little blue bird! I had to order a set of those. Anything that looks like it will travel well gets me every time. Love that gratitude journal. I finally made an emotional journal, but I don't need to use it every day. Do you do both at the same time? I really see value in keeping a gratitude journal to remind us life is still good.
I use my gratitude journal every day, but I only use the emotion journal when I am going through something and need to process strong emotions. I highly recommend keeping both. Yes, I totally agree about a gratitude journal, reminding us that “life is still good“ during challenging times.

@@BeginnersMind-ArtMind You're welcome! I crocheted some mittens while watching. It was very enjoyable thank you!
@@DollfieMew nothing better than handmade mittens!

What a lovely video. I wonder if a water brush would fit in that lid area? That would be perfect for travel.
Blue bird❤
Yes, if you took the plastic insert out, there would definitely be room for a water, brush and more. Thanks for watching!
@BeginnersMind-ArtMind Thank you. Then this is ideal go anywhere palette. I see the blue is on Amazon today. I have the other 2 sets because I adore the palette! As I use up a color I fill it with my Holbein.
Thanks for sharing

Lovely bluebird! I have to admit that I really want this new palette eventhough I do have the previous set but those colors are really something else as a curated color set ❤
Throughout the video though I was inwardly yelling, inquiring about the mixing space 😅😂
So glad you got that while editing that I even thanked you for that lol! It really is a beautiful box (both content and the box itself) and indeed, such a bonus to not only have those supplies that all seem like they’re decent quality, but have that top part double as a storage space for the ultimate-admittedly not the lightest- plein air kit.
Would you be comfortable taking this with you as a plein air kit? Knowing how much this weighs compared to your other kit?
That’s a hard question for me to answer because I paint with gouache when I paint out and about but I feel like it would work well for plein air. Especially because there’s so much extra storage space in the lid. I have used it in my art nest in combination with gouache and enjoyed using it that way.
Hi, Linda! May I ask what microphone you are using? Your audio is great and I'd love to use something like it in some of my own videos - thanks! The colors in this set look really nice and I like the idea of your gratitude art journal.
Thanks for watching! My Microphone is the DJI Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder for Camera & Smartphone (2.4 GHz) I purchased a Lavalier separately, but I don’t remember what brand it was.
@@BeginnersMind-ArtMind thank you!
This is a really good idea. I think I might play this again and do the same thing. Just wanting to know do the water colours come in half pants? Or are they just in the plastic?
Hey Jess, I sent you a couple of messages on Patreon. Did you get the link to the private Facebook group? What was it that you thought was a really good idea in the video?
I don't think the new set is the replacement for that other one. The old one is the smaller OG 36 palette plus metallics. Where that new set apparently only overlaps in 16 colors. Its like a mixed convenience palette it seems and can complement both the OG 36 and the 36+ metallics.
I recommend choosing whatever works for you. 😁
