A Day in the Life of an Artist!/ Monet Cafe' SPECIAL PRESENTATION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- This is a special behind-the-scenes presentation of a typical day for many artists. Often the world sees the final painting, or in my case, the final video... but often many are not aware of all of the work that goes into making it all come together.
I hope you enjoy this video that was inspired and encouraged by my daughter-in-law, Lorena, who decided to follow me around and film me on a fairly typical day in my artistic life.
There are also lots of behind-the-scenes techniques and tips that I think many artists will find helpful.
Enjoy and please like, comment and subscribe! Happy painting!
Camera Credit: a special thank you to my oldest son, Jarrod, for the drone footage at the beginning and ending of the video. The cows were a little nervous with the drone though... ha ha.

One of these days I’m going to quit making excuses and do what I so passionately want to do. I have the room set up I have plenty of supplies however I shake so much when I go in there with the intention to paint..... One day...🤗😘🤗
Gaynelle Beasley-West do it sweetheart!!! Your message truly blessed me and I am excited for you to begin your art journey. Just make sure you keep having fun along the way. Life‘s too short to not do what brings you joy!!!

That’s what I love to hear! So glad it was helpful sweetheart.
Art does make life better!
Jay Arnbert AMEN!!!
Awesome tip to use glassine paper when trimming the pastel! Will use that from now on, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I love watching other artist in their everyday routine. It helps me feel that I can do it as a 55 year old artist. And I love to see how you store your work. I work in a small spare bedroom and it gives me inspiration to keep going and not give up because of my limited space.
DD Fletcher keep it up! I’m 56 years old myself. My art room is only about 10‘ x 13‘. So happy you are inspired and much success on your artistic journey.
Love the vibes of you and your love ones. In my eyes you live a very sympathic Lifestyle. You deserve so much more follower. Please keep on going! 💛
Wow ... you are a busy lady! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome thanks
This is so valuable to me. I am so disorganized! I have paintings everywhere and don't know where most of them are. I am going to watch this again and take notes.
Wonderful Judith! I sometimes don't know if what I share is helping others so your message is a blessing to me. I hope to share more organizational videos in the future as well.
That’s so sweet of her!! Recording you 🎥
What a beautiful farm house 🏡
I've learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much.
Loved it all...!! Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful and intimate beautiful moments with all of us!!
What a wonderful video! Thank you for this ♥
That was fun. It put a smile on my face.
Enjoyed it so much! You are truly inspiring me... I wanna be like you ma'am. I am even sharing you with my friends and relatives, even though am an oil painter.. I love watchin and learning from you. God bless!
You have such a beautiful way of blessing me sweetheart. I just love your heart and passion. Everything I do is worth it because of people like you.
I love this so much! What a joy to see where you work (love the storage ideas!), how you work--how hard you work! I loved "meeting" your darling family and adored listening to your daughter in law (what a treasure!) and seeing your house and animals. As always, you inspire me. :)
This was great! Being an artist professionally is still just a dream to me, so it was so helpful to see what a day in this career would be like.
That was interesting!!!! Thank you Susan!
❤️
What an awesome video, enjoyed every second of it. Thank you and Lorraine for sharing your day and making this world better with your art!!! ❤️ and overall thank you, Susan for all your valuable advices you are giving on your videos!
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for all the time you put in creating, editing, uploading and sharing. Amazing 😍
It's great to see the "off camera" side of an artist's working day. I knew there was a lot of work involved, but some of use don't realise how much. Well done to your daughter-in-law for the idea and the recording. I would like to see her filming you when working on a picture. Sort of behind the camera behind the camera, if you get get my drift.
Guy Arab Ha Ha... I like the “behind the camera behind the camera” idea. And thanks for your great comment.
That was fun, Susan! ❤️
Your daughter in law is lovely! So sweet of her to record this video 🌸🌸🌸
Watercolour Art in Cape Town I know, she is precious and I’m so blessed. I actually have two amazing daughter-in-law‘s.
Monet Cafe' with Artist Susan Jenkins 🙏🙏
Saw you over on wildcard channel. And great performance either way. Really enjoyed it. And I have happily subscribed. And thanks for sharing your passion. I'm #hunterwrennmusic #hunterwrenn @hunterwrennmusic&vlogz And have a awesome day today 👍😇😊🙏🤘🎸🎸🎸
HUNTER WRENN Music & vlogz awesome and I just checked out your channel and subscribe. You’ve got a great voice. I play and sing myself and have some songs on my other UA-cam channel. Keep it up friend and I’m looking forward to hearing more.
Muito bom vídeo,👌 estou conectado!!😃💖🇧🇷👍🔔🙋🖼🖌🎨
Just discovered your channel yesterday , Im hooked 😀 and although I'm not a pastel artist, and no where near as good as you, so many parts of your day resonate with me. New subscriber here.
Thanks for sharing. Sooo much work goes into your passion! I appreciate you. (No need to respond😁.)
Great vid, Susan! Can totally relate. We have a rural property and my partner works in town from dark to dark, so I do my fulltime ceramics/art business from my garden studio as well as doing all the upkeep on the property/household. Every day is long and busy and I don't think people really understand just how so haha. Most comments are in the vein of "oh I wish I could stay home and do art all day".. 😂 if only it was just that. 💗
RhiannonWrightArt Ha Ha .... right sweetheart. The artist life is non-stop! I see that you totally get that👍🏻💜
Hi Susan
Well my fiance said that you have a beautiful home
She told me to give you her regards and tell you that she too will subscribe ur channel
We both loved the video
Brother's asleep it's 3 am
I personally never knew about how artists think Nd live
But now that u've posted this video I feel lucky to have a great teacher and friend like you
Stay safe and inside
Love from India ❤️
Awwww.... that's awesome brother. Tell your fiance hello! And I pray your brother is sleeping sweetly
@@monetcafe The honour's all mine
To be frank no one tells where you should work more without looking at painting
It's only the wisest who've made herself through hours of practice and study
No one put tutorials telling about the details in depth because artists think that one would already know the fact Nd think this is silly
But only the wisest knows that without telling about the mistakes one can never improve
That's what I love about u
U tell everything u tell that everyone is a winner
U make me smile
U make my life even more beautiful
We are far perhaps only in distance
I feel very lucky to have you
My honour is my loyalty
And my loyalty to your channel I something UK better about
Keep posting more🥰
Love from India ❤️
I used to sign my name to my pastels with pastel pencils; CarbOthello specifically!
Thank you for generously sharing your background process with us!
BTW, where is your daughter-in-law from? France?
I work on s TV tray in the salon of my sailboat. It about enough room to sit and put a few supplies on the table or beside me where I sit. I still manage to paint. It just shows you can really make art anywhere if you really want to.
Exactly Paula! The determination of an artist is amazing! Painting on a sailboat sounds amazing!
Love this video, Susan, but oh my . . . how I'd like to paint those SJ letters behind you on the wall. lol It must be the artist in me.
Ha ha ha.... you are so cool!
Love the vibe to your videos! I upload vlogs of my life too :)
Thank you so much!! I'm just starting to video at lessons for homeschooled children and this information was very helpful. Would you be willing to share a quick photograph of your piece of paper with the art flow process?
Vicki Beddingfield Hi Vicki, and that’s so awesome that you are doing video lessons for homeschool children. I’d be more than happy to send you a photo of my flow chart for my art business. Why don’t you email me at SusanJJenkins@gmail.com and I’ll send it back to you.
Cheers. It's 5:00 somewhere. lol So, now you must share your chicken marinade recipe with us too, Susan, because you do not have enough to keep you busy. lol
Renee Kroyer Ha Ha.... love to cook!
The basic marinade is.... olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, lemon, thyme, honey, pepper👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☺️
@@monetcafe Sounds yummy. We love to cook/grill too, year round, easiest way and healthy too. Thanks for marinade recipe. Will make soon. We LOVE grilling chicken tenders as they are always so moist, no dried up chicken for us. lol
How about having a 6 by 14 ft. studio? Mine is a sun room full of windows!
Hey Susan, I was wondering what flexible phone stand you use? I've been looking for a good one and I'd greatly appreciate your advice. ❤️🙏
This is the new one that I just got and I like it much better than my old one. Hope that helps!

@@monetcafe Thank you, I appreciate this so much!💕 You're recommendation is always better than most Amazon reviews! 🥰❤️
Check your computer mouse, bet you'll find pastel dust there, too. lol
Renee Kroyer Ha Ha Ha.... definitely!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh... I have one question: While painting a smaller picture on a larger piece of paper, what is the advantage of not cutting the larger paper first?
That’s actually really great question. When I don’t cut the paper I have the flexibility to paint outside the line so to speak if I choose to increase the size of the painting. Also, sometimes I make marks of each pastel next to a painting so that my audience can see the color choices. And then sometimes, I’m just lazy and cut the paper later. Ha ha!
@@monetcafe Thank you Susan! Those are great reasons to start on a large piece! Believe it or not, it's actually something that makes me stall before I start... deciding about the size. :)
Is that a Clairfontane pastel board?
who is the artist you mentioned @14:50? thank u!
Marla Baggetta.... she's awesome.
What brand is that cutting board? Mine belonged to my dad, a photographer, and it is ancient and not accurate.
It’s actually from Harbor freight tools… The item number is 90874
Thank you!
Doesn’t all the work involved with UA-cam, Patreon Facebook etc take away your time to paint and create art?
Oh my goodness, absolutely! That’s the hardest part about this. There’s so much business to handle and videos to edit that it sometimes can suck your creative juices dry. Good observation… But I’m trying to balance it all out.
