Haven’t painted in decades. This made me think about using drawing, painting to scaffold my way back to some productivity in other areas of creativity. Btw, Chelsea, your pedagogy is succinct and clear. You teach as well as you paint… Pax.
As I got older, I realized that I also needed to set a daily art goal. I was already in a good class with a model, but I knew my progress was too slow. I had painted on and off for most of my life, but I avoided drawing. I set a goal three years ago to draw for at least one hour a day. I began to rapidly improve and one hour turned into several hours and these drawings became paintings! I work mostly from photos and from old master drawings and the Bargue drawing course. Then, I started to do copies from many old masters spanning all of art history. Now, I am just completing my new studio after a long distance move. I continue to draw, even though I haven’t been able to do too much painting yet. I plan to be in there every day. I have many finished sketchbooks and people like my paintings! I branched into doing landscapes, too. I have never found a more satisfying and fulfilling thing than painting especially since I no longer struggle with drawing. Everyone in my class was astounded at my progress and a few classmates actually followed my advice! I like your work! I will be subscribing today!
I'm currently working on the very last assignments of my college career, but as soon as my finals season is over and I graduate I want to take your advice and try a daily-ish painting practice! I think my biggest problem right now as an artist is my lack of output, which, fingers crossed, painting more often will address! Thank you so much for this one, I'm so glad I found your channel recently!
@@catmeowmeow1662 Went well for the week long streak that I was able to maintain it, but I hope to go back to it in a few weeks once I finish moving across the country!
I love the advice you are making here. All the points you raised really 'hit home' with me. I suffer from perfectionism and it is truly a killer. I spend far too long dreading to paint because I know I won't get it right. Even when I am working on a painting, on the days I have to paint I still dread it because I know I cannot get the values and hues right. I'm working on a portrait, or more or less a figure, but I have had to repaint the face at least 10 times trying to get the proportions right, the values and colour. In the end everything looks too tight and overworked. Clare Willison wrote the following words: 'Procrastination is often linked to a desire for perfection. Anxiety arises from fear of missing it.' That is exactly what I am going through. Thank you for your video and recommendation. When I can complete the painting I am working on, I want to try painting on small panels as often as I can to see if it will make a difference. I have a feeling it will. Again, thank you. I'm glad I came upon your video!
OMG i feel you. I've just finished a drawing for a commision. And i am picking at it like a sore on my skin. Everything from the drawing itself to the size and colour of the frame😦
I suffer from perfectionism also. I have started painting again and I almost threw out my first endeavor!. I hate feeling this way, but I feel comforted that I am not alone in this. I try to remind myself of all the great artists that didn't think much of their work. If only they could see now how much they are valued. Thanks for sharing.
@@bridgetortiz7520 Whatever you do, don't give up. Persistance is the key. No matter how slow your progress, you just keep going. Sooner or later it all pays off.
Something that I felt helped me . Was not wasting paint. For example. When I was done working on my main piece for the day . Whatever paint was left. I would do quick abstract paintings on black construction paper. Those ended up being my favorite pieces
I love your videos, but I'd like to suggest you get a better microphone. I can hardly hear you. Also, download Audacity and normalize your audio. It's a setting in Audacity.
Daily painting, THIS is the mountain I want to climb! I'm struggling with how to carve out productive time while I'm a full time home educator for my three children and running a household. I'm loving your channel! Thanks for inspiring me!
I'm new to painting... few months, at home, pic up brush, canvass, annndddd, I'm learning everytime, I'm loving it... I didn't and don't know what I'm really doing, I'm an egg in terms of ability, but growing almost weekly and I lurrrv it... Goals, challenges, and sticking with it, keep pushing, regardless, and just do it, thank you, thankyou thankyou.. 😘 Thi
Thank you for suggesting to me that daily painting, regardless of my result, will teach me many many things. I'm convinced now. This us a totally new concept for me and I will do it!
I like what you had to say about muscle memory. I lost my studio space for a long period of time, but will be available again in a month or so. I always wonder how much muscle memory ive lost. I’m excited to get back into my former space and routine to find out where my skill set is at after being dormant for so long.
This painting has a serenity to it. While deeply looking, you can see brush strokes from the body to more so the background, which I feel as a meaning of the movements around life. Though, she keeps her serenity. It’s deeply moving. ^c^
I just lost my dad and painting and drawing , even if it is just a squiggle everyday. Is helping me get out my emotions on paper, more than words ever could. What a wonderful video. Thank you and stay blessed ❤
I really like your style...I love the contrast and the vibrancy...I learned a lot from this video and I have been an artist for a looooong time just not practising. Maybe this method can help me jumpstart into action..Thanks!
Hey I love what you said about making the task more approachable and less intimidating-it’s true I have a painting sitting in my studio that took a couple months to work up the courage to get started on…I love this approach. About perfectionism though, I think you’re working towards mastery, which is healthy because you are setting realistic goals for yourself (perfectionism includes having unrealistic, or unattainable standards. This precludes knowing your skill level in this moment, acknowledging it without getting down on yourself, and working productively from there)..you’re putting in the work to get from point A to B, not expecting the impossible to happen miraculously :)
I've sketched since I was a kid but haven't done so in years now and it frustrates me to no ends. I seem to have lost my way to express. Can it be reversed?
Wowww!! This is absolutely amazing👏👏👏 ...You are ridiculously talented ! I'd totally buy this art piece if I could and I rarely feel this way about artwork I've seen.
Excellent advice regarding painting regularly, thanks for sharing your experiences and encouragement. I love how quickly your painting came together, beautifully done!
Thank you for the encouragement to help me set my painting goals. So many artists are so competitive today and rarely share but we all are individualistic in our own approach and each given different traits in which to give to the world our own view.
I think I just found my favorite painting channel. You give the most valuable and relatable information. It’s helping me getting over my mental block of starting oil painting again. Very glad to have found you.
I actually stop doing arts after multiple fails in class that my tutor and parents neglect my art skills and more focus in studying ,now that I reached my goal to be one of the honor student I find myself being lazy to do some simple sketching and I think that my art skills is not developing anymore further, I figured I should go back to my hobby where I would do daily sketching ,painting ,pastel painting and more. I'm just sharing my experience of almost losing one of my hobbies and skills in art🤗
As a creative gifted, if I painted this, I would have thought 100 times - "shiiiit, you ruined it!". An then I would stop half time and put it to the drawer. I never felt fortunate with my ability since school, art classes killed it. I was very good with landscapes (acryl) and portraits (lead/blacklead/coal).
You hit the nail all right; I started a large complex portrait last year and I have not been back in my studio; after this video I've decided to finish all in one day now - and then move on - thanks so much for sharing your experiences and advice !!!
I loved listening to your advice. It can be applied to any field. I’ve been pushing working on something important because of a perfectionist attitude and inertia of start. This video helped me get started
This was quite fascinating….I loved your introspection and sometimes charmingly repetitive analysis whilst at the same time, seeing abstract colours slowly becoming more detailed…instead of merely talking about how you’re producing the painting, you’re giving insight into your method and thought process…very lovely indeed!
Hi, Chelsea! This video got dropped in my recommends by YT and I watched it. I don't know what I was expecting, but I loved the advice you share. I'm not a painter by any means, but doing art has always been something I enjoy. I just have these silly fears that keep me from really pursuing any further. I appreciated when you stated to just begin and many mistakes and I think that's something I need to do and just let myself enjoy learning in the process. Thanks for sharing your beautiful painting and your thoughts and processing!
I rarely comment on anything because I'm so shy, but this video really helped bring me out of this discouragement I've been feeling as an artist. Thank you!
You certainly addressed some of my issues....starting! Once I break through the start then I can get into the painting process...so start Kat....put the paint down!
I think this is a lot of people problems, including very much my own. The anxiety to start is so strong sometimes. You are eager, you have ideas, you even have set ups in mind, images, still life... But then the moment is gone because you just didn't want to start or made excuses like I need a new brush or I want a certain paint... we are constantly trying our hardest to avoid ppainting because we know it might end badly, afraid of wasting our time, material and afraid of feeling let down by our failures. But painting is never a failure. Even if they don't work out you always manage to learn something or see what weaknesses or where you went wrong. Is it so bad to NOT make masterpieces? Well guess what most if not all of our work is studies and barely ever masterpieces. I feel that masterpieces/artworks are something that studies BECOME not what you TELL it to be. There is no set rule for the amount of hours or materials or amount of planning a masterpiece will need. There is no mathematics that says: this + this = masterpieces. So instead of avoiding painting because of this feeling that we aren't ready, can't do it, aren't good enough, don't know what we're doing And don't want to use that one canvas or certain paints because they cost this or that - it is an unreasonable excuse to not create. AND WE KNOW IT!... It is being wasted by not being used and our joy shouldn't be found in the result but in the journeys. Paint to paint and not to please. Do many paintings, often... do these challenges. I think they are good at breakin these bad habits out of us! But also don't be perturbed if you don't make it through challenges like "30 days of painting". It is hard even for the pros! supporting you Kat! Let's hope we can all step up to the easel, and just let go. Cause once we start it's like letting go of a dog at a park. We just run free! #freetheartist ! @raeburns_art
Chelsea. My challenge was finding "SIMPLE" things I think I could realistically paint within a few hours in a day. Recently I thought that painting a cup of coffee would be doable and it took me several days...total fail in terms of time lolol. Any tips on finding "simple" painting subjects. Sometimes certain things seem like they may be simple until your 10-20 minutes in and then I'm like...."I totally envisioned this to be different" lolol. Any thoughts/tips? Thanks. God bless.
It sounded a little like you kept turning away from the mike. Is that the case? The audio seemed to become periodically muffled. And everything else you did was fantastic!
Thanks for the video! Happy painting to you too! New to oil painting and you described quite a few artist droughts that affect getting started. Thanks for the resources too🥰
New Subscriber. After watching this one video I feel there is so much I can learn from you. You inspired me not only by your fabulous paint strokes but also by all that you were saying. I felt as if you were talking to me. This painting is absolutely beautiful, I love it. I was so happy you popped up as a recommended video. I missed the Masterclass, I really look forward to when you have something like that again. I look forward to your next post. Do you post regularly or how often? Thank you for sharing your advice, teaching and such wonderful talent.
You stress your work with still life and painting from life, but you don't describe what you're doing here? Is this painting from life? From a photo reference? From you imagination? Thanks.
Thank you! I have been in months long stall. Not painting. Enjoyed watching your painting come together and the lighting contrasts giving it depth. You said it was from life. Is someone posing? Would love to see if so, to see what you are looking at.
I just discovered your channel and I love it! I love how you combine a video of you painting with a narrated essay related to art. I'm now adding your videos to playlists to listen to while drawing. Your videos are full of great insights, thank you for that and I hope you keep up the great work!
Love your voice and the video content. I started out with oil too and though I do multimedia art, oil will always be my first love 🥰. This is the first video I saw and subscribed. Will take a look at the others soon.
As a mainly self taught artist..I love it that you are honest about artists can have various ways to conceptualize and paint. Sign of a great teacher. Thanks for the valuable video.

Great video, great advice. Especially the 31 paintings and learning different things. If you want to do this and don't know where to start, look for a book called "tate Master Oils" by Selwyn Leamy. It has 30 small, step by step projects in which you learn the techniques of the great painters. Brilliant book it's £15/$17. There's also a Watercolour version.
Chelsea, I am watching your videos and I love every one of them! Thank you!! I was watching you paint this awesome portrait and at a moment you used a brush with black (dark color) bristle, angular, and similar to Tisch Dagger. Can you please tell me what brush is it?
Hi Chelsea, I really enjoyed your video and words of wisdom. I have just finished a 100-day art challenge, much like your 30-day challenge mentioned in this video. I found 100 days to be tough, however, it was very enjoyable and at the end of it I had moved my art up to being my priority. The freedom to create and not worry about perfection, to be adventurous and try new media and materials, and to post daily to a FB page and Instagram and interact with others doing the same challenge, were all great takeaways. Thank you for your videos.
Wonder how much better your results would have been if you had done a 28 day challenge and only painted Monday thru Saturday. And then, took Sunday off to thank God and rest? I've been struggling with songwriting. And, maybe a song a day challenge formulated that way would get very interesting. Thanks for the creative inspiration.
I doubt your approach is good for ALL styles of paintings. It will be helpful for alla prima paintings, but it is doubtful for layered paintings - like glazing.
Your pieces are all a bit fuzzy, like a memory. It's so soothing to look at them!
You're right! That's exactly what i was thinking 🌼
I wish i could paint like her
Is this supposed to be a compliment?

But also don't be perturbed if you don't make it through challenges like "30 days of painting". It is hard even for the pros!
supporting you Kat!
Let's hope we can all step up to the easel, and just let go. Cause once we start it's like letting go of a dog at a park. We just run free!

Thank you very much for this teaching!! You did an awesome job in helping me understand the benefits of daily painting challenges and much more!
Her drawings makes me go bruh
She made it looked so easy
Chelsea. My challenge was finding "SIMPLE" things I think I could realistically paint within a few hours in a day. Recently I thought that painting a cup of coffee would be doable and it took me several days...total fail in terms of time lolol. Any tips on finding "simple" painting subjects. Sometimes certain things seem like they may be simple until your 10-20 minutes in and then I'm like...."I totally envisioned this to be different" lolol. Any thoughts/tips? Thanks. God bless.
It sounded a little like you kept turning away from the mike. Is that the case? The audio seemed to become periodically muffled.
And everything else you did was fantastic!
Thanks for the video! Happy painting to you too! New to oil painting and you described quite a few artist droughts that affect getting started. Thanks for the resources too🥰
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
New Subscriber. After watching this one video I feel there is so much I can learn from you. You inspired me not only by your fabulous paint strokes but also by all that you were saying. I felt as if you were talking to me. This painting is absolutely beautiful, I love it. I was so happy you popped up as a recommended video. I missed the Masterclass, I really look forward to when you have something like that again. I look forward to your next post. Do you post regularly or how often? Thank you for sharing your advice, teaching and such wonderful talent.
I'm really enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing your insights :)
I Much Appreciate Your time and truth in making this video. I believe your experience and knowledge.
words of wisdom, thanks Chelsea.
You stress your work with still life and painting from life, but you don't describe what you're doing here? Is this painting from life? From a photo reference? From you imagination? Thanks.
Thank you! I have been in months long stall. Not painting. Enjoyed watching your painting come together and the lighting contrasts giving it depth. You said it was from life. Is someone posing? Would love to see if so, to see what you are looking at.
amazing painting.
I do daily painting but not finish everyday...
I just discovered your channel and I love it! I love how you combine a video of you painting with a narrated essay related to art. I'm now adding your videos to playlists to listen to while drawing. Your videos are full of great insights, thank you for that and I hope you keep up the great work!
Love your voice and the video content. I started out with oil too and though I do multimedia art, oil will always be my first love 🥰. This is the first video I saw and subscribed. Will take a look at the others soon.
Did you use acrylics here or oil?
I am so intimidated by acrylics cause they dry so fast
Ahh, thank you for this 😍! *subscribed*
My youngest daughter started painting at one time. When I seen it was therapeutic for her I bought her extra supplies.
As a mainly self taught artist..I love it that you are honest about artists can have various ways to conceptualize and paint. Sign of a great teacher. Thanks for the valuable video.
What a beautiful painting! I love your airflow to the end!
The sound is too low to listen to.
Thank you for sharing your painting as well as the gentle nudge to get started.

I’ve never painted on canvas before and want to try it out... oh and have an awesome day :)
good lord. wow.
it's like watching a 15 minute magic trick unfold.
so incredible.
so impressive.
so jealous.
Great video, great advice. Especially the 31 paintings and learning different things. If you want to do this and don't know where to start, look for a book called "tate Master Oils" by Selwyn Leamy. It has 30 small, step by step projects in which you learn the techniques of the great painters. Brilliant book it's £15/$17. There's also a Watercolour version.
Chelsea, I am watching your videos and I love every one of them! Thank you!! I was watching you paint this awesome portrait and at a moment you used a brush with black (dark color) bristle, angular, and similar to Tisch Dagger. Can you please tell me what brush is it?
How sweet painting it is
Hi Chelsea, I really enjoyed your video and words of wisdom. I have just finished a 100-day art challenge, much like your 30-day challenge mentioned in this video. I found 100 days to be tough, however, it was very enjoyable and at the end of it I had moved my art up to being my priority. The freedom to create and not worry about perfection, to be adventurous and try new media and materials, and to post daily to a FB page and Instagram and interact with others doing the same challenge, were all great takeaways. Thank you for your videos.
UA-cam is getting freaking greedy with 2 - 15 second commercials.
Love this painting and your advice.
Wonder how much better your results would have been if you had done a 28 day challenge and only painted Monday thru Saturday. And then, took Sunday off to thank God and rest?
I've been struggling with songwriting. And, maybe a song a day challenge formulated that way would get very interesting.
Thanks for the creative inspiration.
Wonderful demonstration Fabulous painting. Thanks so much
Dear Chelsea thank you for sharing. When do you start your next Daily Working/Learning. I would like to participate?
I doubt your approach is good for ALL styles of paintings. It will be helpful for alla prima paintings, but it is doubtful for layered paintings - like glazing.
My problem is I-would rather watch you paint than begin myself ✌🏼🌷
