Can we all appreciate Valerie how much work she puts into these videos to inspire us!! Valerie I've watched your all videos!! They are Atmospheric, warm and motivating!! I love your videos!! LY Valerie!!! 🤍
I mean she genuinely works so hard and provides so much of insights which make her videos not only educational but therapeutic aswell
Thank you! Much love 💌🌟
Definetly inspiring. Perfect description.

I was married to a man who would not help with any childcare, household chores, or maintenance of the house. As a result I learned to do so many things, such as making a deck for our home, laying carpet, laying laminate, tiling, and on and on. It was unfair of him to refuse to do anything in the home but as a result I became incredibly competent because of it.
I appreciated your sarcasm on the modernist update to the library building. It got me thinking that (apart from it being a crime against beauty) the modernist aesthetic is partly so unsuccessful because of it's unhealthy pursuit of perfectionism. It's a good example of how perfectionism often becomes an enemy of beauty and creativity.
"I don't feel in control of the results, but I do feel in control of my thoughts and emotions." That perfectly encompasses how I feel as well when I make art. Thank you ♥️
Hey Valerie! Greetings from India. I am a high schooler with an extremely exhausting schedule, where there is almost no day when I don't cry myself to sleep. Your videos and your advices have been that driving force which has been helping me to become a better version of myself every single day. Thank you so much.
I just want to say I hope things get easier for you. Hugs!
Jesus christ loves you , he died for you Repent and turn away from sin the Messiah is coming
Promised there will be evenings where you will fall asleep with a peaceful heart and mind ❤️ life is a beautiful gift, take care of yourself🙏🏼
@@valerielin Thank you so much Valerie 😊😊😊
Your videos have such Studio Ghibli vibe! It's amazing. It makes me feel so warm, happy and at peace. Thank you so much for creating!
I'm genuinely amazed of how your paintings suddenly all makes sense ! The way you put some brush stokes here and there, and then *SHUBAM* it becomes a masterpiece. What kind of witchcraft is it ?!
(The answer is : Talent and a lot of practice, I guess) Keep going, girl ! I worship you !
lol I feel the same way!!! But about your answer...there's talent for sure, but she is also a magical being. Notice that 'linseed oil', it glows every time she touches it.
That moment when you KNOW the painting is finished is a magical thing. Painting sometimes ends with a crescendo…but other times with just one small, quiet note. But there is no telling when that will happen. It is definitely just this overwhelming immediate feeling that “voilà!” it is finished. It’s a most amazing feeling. Thank you for another beautiful video. I love the painting! I could talk about all these things you mentioned, but it would be a novella 😆
@ brightpurpleViking Many, many painters - in fact all I’ve ever known, which may be dozens - say it doesn’t happen that way. Rather, they ask themselves: Can I do anything to improve this? When the answer is no, the painting is done. Your description sounds like a highly romanticized version we might see in a movie.
@@63artemisia63 hahaha! I’ve been an advanced art instructor for thirty one years. I disagree, from what I have seen thousands of times. But we each have our own experience I guess. We do, however, always see room for improvement no matter if the painting is finished or not.
@ brightpurpleviking hahahahahahaha! You’re very easily amused ;o) Would love to see some of these paintings; please, show me the way …
@@63artemisia63 no reason to be a jerk lady. We all have our own experience. Move on Karen
"You can't get your grip on a smooth surface, so we need some bumps and roughness" "It takes courage to show your flaws" ♥So true!
your videos have slowly become my comfort place
Right I love her sm
Sameee
_focus on what you have and nurture it_ 🥰
What a beautiful person you are. I am a mom who like many, struggles to keep a balance between kids, home and practising hobbies, which in my case is painting. But your videos always motivates me one way or another...keep up the good work.
Thank you, Valerie! I love your message! I think of striving in two different ways: There’s striving for perfection and then there’s striving for excellence. Striving for perfection is usually externally driven and often brings anxiety and emotional fatigue. Striving for excellence comes from within and (hopefully) brings us energy and a sense of peace. It comes from confidence and a simple desire to do our best. It’s not driven by the expectations of others or from a fear of being judged as inadequate. It’s a wonderful thing and helps us sustain our passions without feeling burned out!
On a side note, it’s nice to see that you’re so comfortable with relative solitude. I think solitude is healthy and (IMHO) enjoyable. We live in a loud world! It’s nice to step away from the noise and experience some quiet peace. You are gifted in many ways! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. :)
thank you for your wise words, they make it so clear!~
@@Eva--Valentina Thank you, Eva! 😊
"Short appreciation towards modernism. You truly show what you think about life"... I can feel the eye roll of that comment without seeing your face. Thick with sarcasm! Love it! I had such a great laugh. Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks. That laugh was much needed and appreciated.
I love the quote of "this painting is not finished till I say so" this is so true we can paint it over and over till we say it's done 😄💖 ty for sharing this with us.
She always makes me feel motivated to do something new ...the lost feeling just vanishes ....
Your wisdom, your authenticity, your humour, your attention to detail, your love and passion....are perfection. 💕🙏
I just got here but WOAH I’ve never seen such beautifully crafted videos!! The visual beauty, editing, and your choice of words…. I feel like I’ve been dropped in a gorgeous movie, like the French classic Amelie. Thank you for being an inspiration!
the basement part was so fun, "ok enough" lol
super addicted to your videos, they are helping me to pass by through a rough depression phase, and are helping to encourage me to use my art to be out of it. so thank you! sending you big hugs from Brazil
Whoa your basement is scary but also so cool! Gorgeous painting, too -- building the background around the character looked so effortless and came together beautifully!
I can't describe how lovely it has been to see your videos and hear your philosophies. I agree with so much of what you say about art. Even if we never meet. I count you as a friend. Thank you so much. Love - Gia
there are no art videos more inspiring and motivating than Valerie’s every single time I watch her videos I feel the need to create something :) thank you so much for making these videos I truly appreciate them and all the work that goes into them 💫
I loved this piece it's your most "architectural" yet intimate. I think I get what you meant : you know the story that you want to tell (what feelings to convey) but you figure out the plot as you go so the result is a surprise for both the painter and the viewer. Great video as always 🥰
your videos heal my soul.
thanks for spreading inspiration into my mind 💗
Always catches me before bed, but I have something to look forward to for tomorrow 💗
Your videos, and seeing how you have grown to show more of your personality has inspired me to start my own UA-cam Journey 💯😀 Thank You Valerie 💙
Oh my. Was so blessed by your views on perfectionism. Something I have struggled with for so long, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have it as a constant issue, something always concerning. Seeing it, perfectionism, as a friend however has completely opened me up to a whole new way of approaching my relationship with this unsettling side of the persona.
Please do more of these lovely works in settings like this. The room she is sitting in adds so much to the story of the portrait. You have captured so much of her extended self with these few brushstrokes, her story is so much more present. Portraits are lovely but often keep you aloof and away from the subject. In your painting though, I feel she is relatable and I might even know her just a little. I like the intimacy of this painting. I hope you can get cool there. It’s so hot! Blessings for your gentle wisdom.
I think perfection arises within because we do not like to be criticized by others or we hear other people criticizing someone else. Or comparing ourselves to another.Perfectionism can be paralyzing to one's creative expression/growth/skill.Never good enough.
I feel good when I watch your videos. You're such a wonderful person and all your videos bring us so much positive energy.
❤️❤️❤️
Dear Valerie..You never fail to encourage me every time with your videos. Your Amazing Val!!
I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me).
I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (journaling) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and studying - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT.
And part of that is routinely putting in work on your dreams and projects despite how you’re feeling! I was a zombie for 2 years, so depressed - feeling like those two years are just gone - the critic in my head is vicious. This video is a message to keep my head up and keep marching forward.
I’ve felt doubtful about my UA-cam channel since the start but I try to keep going through the feelings of doubts because I know you’re out there doing the same!!
I am so glad that someone gets it! Sometimes realizing that we were born (thru such complicated mechanisms) and were given this chance, so many possibilities exists for us in this world, It's enough to help us to move forward.
Ok. That WAS a scary basement.😨 Another calm video for you, Valerie. It makes me appreciate my craft more. (I write crime fiction novels) Thank you, Val, for sharing your craft and thoughts with us. 💖
Your vlogs have woken another artistic aspect of mine. I'm a poet, singer and play a guitar but I've never painted a portrait. My next objective over the next semester is to pour myself into learning how to paint and sketch, all because of the inspiration you give me. ❤
I really like the idea of our perfectionism being a friend. However the relation can quickly sour if you don't put in the effort to understand and build up the relationship, which is why I think people are so fast to burn the bridge. To me perfectionism lets me know when I'm working on something that is deeply important to me, they want me to put in adequate effort and see that the final result was reached with care and a sense of worth. It will let me know if what I made wasn't pretty or perfect and that can honestly hurt, but at the same time it will embrace me and say be proud of what you've done. It says, Perfect, no. But you gave it your all, this is the best you could produce with your current skill-set and you managed to get your feelings across. Whiles Valerie's friend may push her to be of the best, mine wants me to work hard on things important to me. Friends push you in the direction you need to go so no ones friend will be the same.
As for making something without having a picture in mind, I understand but don't completely agree. I don't know what it's like for you but for me it's like having all the pieces to a jig-saw puzzle. I don't know what the final result will look like but I have generally understand of how I want my work to feel by the type of pieces I choose to work with. Whether the pieces are sad, tranquil, happy, peaceful, ect. (I'm not a painter but this could be like the colors you work with or environment of your painting). As I work I start to see what pieces fit together and my picture starts to come together. Then as picture comes together the direction I want to go becomes a lot more focused.
Much like you I found the words and phrasing I was looking for to be quite elusive so this didn't come out exactly as I wanted but I hope I was still able to convey what I said in an understandable way. As always thank you so much for the video I really like them and they mean a lot to me. I look forward to the next one!
I share similar feelings, but wasn’t able to put words to it. Thank you for expressing your own experience. It’s refreshing to hear different perspectives, while also appreciating Valerie’s lovely videos! So grateful for the haven she’s created here
Been waiting for this for so long, love your videos ✨️🦋
Your words, like your paintings, are beautiful. You are wise beyond your years.
My day literally becomes better when she posts❤ thank you Valerie
Finally, a video blog, I’m much smaller than you and you give me positive energy and I also learn English from you, your voice is beautiful.
Thank you 🕯🇮🇶
You seem so peaceful and at such ease... it makes me feel good to watch these pieces from your life :) keep up the great work
Valerie You give me a lot of peace with the arts you create. You are very peaceful . and I hope all these feelings come back to you :) i love you
I’m really grateful to you and I wish you a good day and a good life too, you are a wonder
Getting amazed by your paintings your videos your personality , u are beautiful 🤍
Valerie Lin!!! I’m a huge fan and I want to learn how to paint like you! I know that everyone’s art is perfect in their own way but I love the way you paint people, it’s absolutely beautiful. Ever since I was 11. I’ve always wanted to paint people beautiful and the way you paint people, shows how beautiful art can be and it’s more than I could possibly ask for
This video made me cry. As I remembered this undying love I hold towards painting. Thank you, I needed to remind myself what I‘m still in love with 💜🖼🙏🏼🤍(the moment I started writing this comment, fireworks started going off outside. I find that beautiful).
I generally do not have attention span this long, but her videos make me feel so warm and lightheaded. I just wanna appreciate your work, art and skills you put in.
Keep growing!
Dear Valerie, I always learn a lot by watching your videos, most of the time I have to watch them several times to be able to assimilate all the good advice you give and be able to reflect on what you say. Your paintings are always as beautiful as your soul. Thank you for continuing to share
Being around you always puts me in a better mood. I highly value the insights and guidance you provide. Thank you. ♥️
Your videos are so comforting, inspiring and beautiful.
I think you are one of the most amazing, innocent and wholesome human..... Really wish you the best in life and thank you for the video!
Hello again Valerie,
thank you so much for taking us on this tiny journey that feels like an adventure into another world. It’s like a good fantasy book that just lets you dive in and forget about everything for a while. And when you come back, you feel refreshed and at peace and you have inspiration, energy, motivation and new thoughts to ponder. I think this is why I love your little movies.
And thank you for uploading it especially now, I really needed this positive input to reverse a downward spiral. Now I’m going up again. Hope you are, too.
And have some nice cooler days :)
Sending you a lot of love 💕
You are my favorite artist in this entire world . You inspire me so much and i truly love your videos ,they make me fell so good and relaxed. Every time I watch them ,I understand why I fell in love with art . Thank you so much for this 🤧
This video feels like a film, I love the soothing music, the sound of the paint brushes stroking on the canvas, the library, Berlin... I want to go visit ❤️
Your videos are a dip into calm for me. I love to watch you paint and to hear your thoughts...so soothing! Thank you!
I used to get lost in details and lose part of my life for that reason. Anxiety and low self steem made part of my personality. After treating anxiety-related depression (which is always in treatment for me), I valued so much feeling emotions. When you're taking antidepressants, it's like you lose part of your emotions: the good and the not so good ones. It's like in painting: when it gets to the point where you get lost in details - many times - you may spoil the essence of your piece.
Love from Brazil and much light to everyone going through difficulties in their own self
Simply Amazing painting, humble thoughts and great library!😊🎨💜
Valerie… Thank You for being here…I appreciate your videos… art … and your words. It’s been a frustrating and stressful year… but I feel better after watching you here…you always have insight and your words make me think… so thanks for that… !
This morning I had coffee… on my patio… and did a watercolor painting… the first in a while… I enjoy the process… and let it happen as I felt it should… YES… not spending too much time on the details… and being more impressionistic… helped me to say … now it is finished… and put down my brushes.
Your videos are like a gift… thank you for giving… so inspiringly and selflessly.
…… if you’re afraid to go to the basement… and need assistance… I can bring a flashlight 🔦… it’s the least I can do… since you’ve shined a light… for so many of us… by being here for us … AGAIN… thanks 🙏…
Stay safe and well and… cooler 🌞Peace 💐
I think the energy of your place and video is so calm and peaceful, and of course beautiful. Someday i'll make me a place feel like yours 💗💗
I especially enjoyed this video because I could relate to the things Valerie spoke of. This is why I appreciate her brilliance. This video, as did others, has given me guidance not only in my creativity and art, but in my inner-self. I am so thankful that she shares her work and life with the world.
LOVE the painting. And the theme of perfectionism...your videos are so relaxing and contemplative. High quality content!! Also that part about the cube library was hilarious 😂 👏
This is amazing Valerie! Please make videos more often! Wonderfull painting! music! angles! details! music! Really Perfect!

"Thomas! Valerie has uploaded a video!!!" (Congratulations and thank you for sharing : beautiful thoughts and beautiful painting. I am impatient to improve. I am so inspired by your attitude and work ethic. Thank you too for filming the places you visit. So wonderful to see these places. Keep well.)
@ Maretta Bertram No need to be impatient. Take your time because all good things take time.
I cannot get enough!!! you give me such Studio Ghibli vibes, I am obsessed. Your voice is so peaceful and calm to listen to and you are just so beautiful!!!! You inspire me to create and to enjoy the process. ❤
In a time when individuality is scarse you shine a light upon it so well. If we were all the same life in this world would be boring. Blessings to you.
*Watching you go thru the basement was like watching part of a movie!
voice like butter. as a virgo rising and moon (perfectionist and painter) this spoke to me. thank you
I love that, we all have the ability to create .
Your advices are like a hug to my soul, but also a call for me to keep going and improve. I'm having a tough time with depression and anxiety and your videos give me hope; I truly wish one day I'll be a better version of myself🌻
The picture is becoming BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations ! You’re a beautiful wonderful PERSON and ARTIST 👩🎨
I've been getting upset with myself for not being productive at home when I have day offs. I've been sleeping more and keep getting distracted. But Valerie, thank you. I clicked back on your videos and I felt my mind focus the moment you started speaking. I learn so much by your videos, thank you for this gift. 💐

I have never felt as inspired from any other videos or books than I do with yours
Valerie, tus videos me inspiran a seguir pintando, se nota el trabajo, amor y empeño con el que haces cada cosa en tu vida. Mucho amor desde México 💗💫😊
Valerie you are the definition of Quality Over Quantity! Every Other Channel should take heed! Thank you for another wonderful and Quality video💗
I like to go back and watch your videos all over again when I get to the end of them. :) I bought your extra video pack, and I love watching that one too. They're good for painting along, or studying, or cleaning. Makes me feel like I have someone helping me get through something difficult. Thank you!
I cant explain how beautiful the world is and art and so many other things
Watching you paint is so peaceful and comforting 🙏
Valerie, I just don’t have words… you are a true artist no matter what u think!!! I love ur point of view of life🕊
I love your videos! And your thoughts! You inspire me so much, thank you for doing what you do❤️
Ooooo I love the excursion to the library… it reminded me how wonderful it is to visit the library and take a few hours to just explore and learn whatever you’re interested in learning. Also the drama with the basement is 👌👌
You just make me feel so hopeful and i love you girl. God bless you.
Thank you so much for your channel.. I've sat here crying because you are helping me reawaken my love for art/painting!
I love all your positive vibes, you're an amazing guide like a mother 🥰
Your vlogs are very powerful.
Thank you xxx
Many thanks again Valerie, your work is amazing, but your personality shines through everything you do and say 😊x
This is beautiful and calming. And what you said is what I am looking for. It motivates in such a gentle way and I really appreciate this. You sound so mature and a few points you mentioned brought me to tears (partly because I am a very emotional person, but you get the point). Love to see more of your videos!
Could watch your good vibe forever, awesome video :-)
Can I just say I appreciate you and love you for being you, and sharing your art and thoughts with us? Sending a big hug from Canada!
Valérie, your vidéos and thoughts are precious. I appreciate it, as it helps me rewire concepts like perfectionism, procrastination, slowing down, etc. Has a direct impact on myself as an artist.
When you said "Leave others alone and focus on nurture what you have" is so validating to me. It's something that I've been struggling so much due to wanting to be like the people I look up to but I guess we all have something to offer to the world without wanting to be like someone else.
Thank you so much for your existence valerie💙
I love your videos, you bring so much joy and wisdom. I'm a teacher in preschool and school, but also an artist. This last two years, i became ill and my joints don't work as well as they used to. It taught me to use my energy thoughtfully. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us. You are, for me, already one of the best. Your art is inspirationnal and moving. It's all that matter.
Your videos are inspiring to me and you talk on topics that are very relatable. I appreciate you for this video and also love your recent oil painting. Keep going and inspire all of us.
Огромное спасибо, милая Валери, за любовь к миру...в твоих суждениях много мудрости и искренности...❤❤❤
I absolutely LOVE these videos Valerie, they make me feel calm, peaceful and inspired. But also, your skill as a painter is absolutely incredible!!!!! I am in awe watching you paint and seeing your process and paintings come to life ❤✨
Valerie you are definitely an old soul. I like how you just flow with life. I suffer from anxiety and dealing with just trying to stay in the calm and your videos inspire me to practice more focus. It's hard to describe in words but just thank you for taking the time to show your world. It means a lot and very healing.
After I workout, I want to watch something that is inspiring and thank you for this beautiful video of yours 🥰
Thank you for being you! I adore all your videos. Many blessings! 🪷🤍
Your videos have just pulled me right out of this rotten funk I’ve been through. Thank you so much your content is amazing
