I am 74. I started painting about 5 years ago. I’m just starting to like my work often. I have zero interest in selling my work, which is the best blessing. M. A. Y. B. E will create a web page. I’m just loving the doing. I feel for you and all artists who need to generate income.. good thoughts from you. I’m just now realizing I have competence... now I want to do what’s exciting.
Something that always helped me when I found myself comparing my work to others: "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man: true nobility is being superior to your former self" - Ernest Hemingway
@@smishstudio do you also sometimes feel, when you get a new idea, as an absolute narcissist who’s going to blow the world away with your new work, and as soon as you stark working, the feelings starts running down the mountain? :p
@@scarro it starts off like that for each new work, but that feeling of artworks domination quickly fades to “I suck at art, and I should give up” haha Somehow I’m still out here making things though!
@@smishstudio you know what’s funny: we’re both like, oh, haha, so funny that we think we’re amazing sometimes, but even in these comments, we express our insecurities.
I must be the exception that proves the rule then. I accept my work as it is, I take my practice for what it is, I don't hold expectations about my art before I even start beyond 'Let's try this. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.' I don't understand why anyone would think themselves out of something they're supposed to enjoy before they even attempt it. It doesn't make sense to me at all.
I painted a yellow blob monster recently that I was very happy with, but then I saw a much better green one that somebody else had painted. This made me feel a bit down about my artistic abilities. Later that night I caught my own painting staring at me with an expression on it's face that seemed to say "don't feel bad, everything's ok." So it all worked out fine in the end.
I get the "no one actually likes my art, they're just being nice" thing so bad! People say they love my work, but it's very hard to sell. I'm really enjoying that Big Magic book you recommended, thank you. And it's good to remind myself why I make things- because I get ill if I don't, and I can't help it. I need to make. It's like stopping yourself from singing happily when you do the dishes, if that's what you've always done. I love my work and the process of making it. Thank you so much for all the positive guidance you give on your channel. It's so helpful and uplifting. I hope you feel appreciated, Robin!
Robin I love that you embrace the deeper, soulful side of being an artist! Art is an emotional journey, and sometimes we just have to step outside our head and keep in mind the key is the have fun. Your encouragement helps me in so many ways in my creative endeavors and my life. The advice you give is priceless. Thank you 🙏
We are destined to become what we think of ourselves. Improve your inner voice, stop tearing yourself down, create a better mentality. you have the neuroplacticity to literally change your mind, to heal from hurt, to grow into the person you yearn to become, through new patterns.
When the thought is just inside our heads it acts as reality. When our thoughts are shown outside out and loud we can perceive them as just thoughts, as objects we can interact with. It's like in Hamlet, you know?
If a caterpillar can turn into a beautiful butterfly 🦋 Then you can be a amazing person and fly even higher in life ✨ You're beautiful and unique in your own way 💖 Don't let anyone change that 💖 - Love from a small UA-camr
Robin, you have such a wonderful spirit. You are a blessing to the artistic soul. We may not all be able to have this as our career but you certainly hit it in my wow I love this learning and let’s enjoy the creative side of life . Love your art. Thanks. 🥰✨
Im doing art at college(in the uk so I’m 17) and it’s making mr really hate everything I do because my teachers really really do not like me. I open my mouth and I get shouted at and then I’ll be in a mood and the quality of my art won’t be as good because I’m sad. I’ve tried to tell my teachers that sometimes I say things out loud when I’m working I’m not talking to anybody I’m talking to the air but I still get told off.
I can tell there's some real value in this video, and honestly I'm going to watch it again and again. I'm also overwhelmed and a little out of it at the moment, so I'll save my commentary for later. I did want to let you know that I saw this and that I already like it, though. :D
The thing that gives me catharsis out of mania is solid information. Like when you're sitting down doing math with no end in sight. Just adding, subtracting, and dividing until you get the right shape.
I have to leave a comment to help you with the algorithm but I have nothing intelligible to say other than you’re simply wonderful. Thank you Robin you’re always a joy to watch.
I just picked up painting and the first three minutes of this video are the very same thought patterns I have every time I pick up a brush with self doubt and fear taking the wheel most of the time. Thanks for sharing, it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one struggling with these.
Robin. I am about halfway through Big Magic. It is an amazing book. I believe it is just what I needed right now (I’m in a questioning my intentions phase). Thanks so much for the recommendation. I’ve been a fan of yours from the beginning. I recognized your artist spirit right away. I still watch the first videos over and over. I love your process. Your waves are my favorite. Love you!
Thank you for nailing every single bugger of a limiting thought and zapping it with your calming voice and reminding us to simply accept ourselves. See our limitations and not beat the will to create out of our souls. Plenty of others happy to do that for us. Xx
I'm honestly dumbfounded so many people have so many negative thoughts about themselves and their work. I don't even remember the last time I thought this stuff. The most negative thoughts I have about my work is 'Hmm, probably shouldn't have done that...' How do you guys get anything done?!
I think she’s such an amazing artist and seems like a really nice person. I have sub like many other people who love your content and are always happy after watching one of ur videos. 😁😁😁😁😁
omg every one of her videos always make me think a lot, and i love that! like all this beautiful advice can be taken for art but also life in general. i’ve gotten a lot out of your videos robin and i’m so grateful.
Hi. Watched like three of your videos a few years ago and I found it so cool... But I ddn't get back to your channel until last week and...I think I have REALLY REALLY loved your work, .. But for me your thoughts and opinions on things, plus your voice is so calming and they've all gotten me hooked ..
i get comparison bad thoughts a lot; want to share my art on social media, and do get inspired by other artists but always that little voice also in my head like "THEY'RE making more than YOU, THEY'RE doing better than YOU, THEIR art is so much more advanced than YOURS" etc etc. exhausting
So I guess we all just have the same brain lol This was very encouraging. I've only just picked it up again (after years) since the beginning of quarantine and I get frustrated so quickly! Trying to look for ways to center myself before I practice. Thank you for the book recommendations!
I was looking for this comment, because I was wondering if I saw it right. I wonder if you can buy them in America or that Robin got them from the Netherlands.
Robin, I really love every single bit of you. Keep doing what youre doing, I really resonate with your weird sense of humor and wisdom behind it. Thank you !
Hey Robin, I adore your personality and video and art styles. It all touches me deep in my core, where few are allowed anymore. Thanks for helping me to reach inward to that sacred place and let it breathe and get some circulation going. Much love from Louisiana. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you soo much for this video I’ve been stressing out a lot about how my art looks and what other people think of it. I’ll definitely use your advice
Relatable! You have to give yourself permission to fail, I’m starting to realize that more and more, of course it’s easy to understand and say but to execute is really hard! But through failing and not punishing yourself mentally about it the creativity will flow so much better! Well at least for me this works😄 great video as always ✨✨✨
I think after years of being on UA-cam, this is my first comment on anything. But as I was watching you rework your wave paintings, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for them to transform into a landscape with hills. In a way that if I looked at it with one mindset it would be rolling Appalachian hills. And in another mindset, rolling ocean waves...
Also could you please make a video on basic shading highlights and all those basic things that helps in building up a painting this is the part that destroys me!!!!!
You should go through her catalog of videos Robin has addressed this question and even more in many of her other videos take a look around and you may find just what you’re looking for.
You always say to express your self in your art. And not be like an assignment. Also that there is a little bit of the artist in her art. But I can't do that, i don't know how.😥. Can you make a video for this?? I am sure I am not the only one. Like to get her attention!!! Ps. How do you show emotion in realism?? I need help!
I love your videos so much and I am SO happy I found you. I am a beginning artist myself and your channel has been so helpful to me! I was wondering if you could talk about how to price your art as a beginning artist?
Dear Robin LooooOVE your works! I needed to hear all that you said and shared in such an artistic and unique way ❄🌿🍁 Wonder if you can transcribe all of those uplifting and inspiring thoughts. Please🤗💕🌹
I've been having bad thoughts about my art. Its like I can't top my other art. So I've just decided to just do my own art style. I've tried realistic, I've done it well, but its not very fun to force my self to make it realistic :(
"I can't tell you you've come to the wrong place, because you've come to the right one" is an iconic line and I literally wrote it down in my journal for next month's quote
Before: Why am I watching this video? I’m not even an artist. Yes I like to do creative stuff in my free time, as a hobby... After: I guess I can be an artist if I want to be one? (I do)
I was literally smiling and shaking my head agreeing with everything you said, the whole time in the beginning LOL omfg relatable daily artist thoughts Ican't
I have an issue and I am not sure if others do too but here goes: When I put down a brush stroke or line I have a hard time in the moment seeing it as part of the piece and not something that is interrupting what I am working on and because of this it looks wrong no matter if it is or not. I watch artists and think if I did that I would think I was wrong... I do not know how to fix this. Even knowing that it is an issues does not usually fix the problem. For example I really can not do cartoony things because all I see is wrong proportions but I enjoy them when others do it. (I have been arting for my whole life and this has not gotten better with practive so I think it is something I am going to forever have to deal with but any suggestions would be appreciated.)
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you mean by the first thing you said (about putting down a brush stroke) but it could be that your eyes have become keen on honing in on mistakes while you yourself (your hands) haven't learned how to apply what you know quite yet. It might be helpful to look into learning fundamentals if you haven't, it will help a lot to improve your skill (though it does get fairly tough and boring) and your hands will catch up to what your eyes see
@@hayapatel_ Thanks for the help. It is more like I have have a hard time seeing it as more than just a stroke and it does not integrate into the piece. Like if you scribble over something. It just hangs out on top of what I did before until time passes then I can see it more as part of the whole. But I don't know how to get my brain to accept it is there now faster. lol I know it is weird. I am very detailed and I think this is a down side from that.
@@RobinSealark yes, I love how you hit on the topic of self doubt in some of your videos bc I worry all the time about 'will I get so far into this and realize that I just hate it and that I've wasted so much of my supplies?'
I don’t know if you have art friends or not, but something my art friends and I do is challenges. We even take turns thinking of new challenges.. some are easy, some are hard, but all can help you out of an art block. Daily/weekly word prompts can be helpful too. Sometimes they’re doodles, & sometimes they’re just what you need to get out of your head. Try to remember not to let them stress you, but look at them as fun games. We all share them in private Facebook groups or dm messages with smaller groups. No stress. No real pressure to participate... Do the ones you like, or don’t. We’re just cheerleaders for each other. If nothing else, it’s nice to have new friends who are likeminded.
Last week I started to watch how i met your mother and when I saw the character named Lily i was like "WOAW SHE REALLY LOOKS LIKE ROBIN SEALARK". Lily is as good artist as robin and they both energetic. So felt like im in dejavu!
I am not good at oil huhuhhuhuuh yup not good at all😬😤but robin literally literally literally made me make a kinda realistic cherry aaaaaaaaaaaah love you robin love her people aaaaaaaaaaah😣😣😣😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Less is more? More or less? Should I just do it? Or should I just say no? I'm so confused I don't know or do I know I know I know I don't know that I know.
The fear of making bad art is so real. The fear that it will be both meaningless and uninteresting to look at. The struggle to pick a goddamn medium.... I love digital art but people think that traditional paintings have more merit and more value.... Ughhhh, so many thoughts
Good to know other artists have ALL the same thoughts as I do haha It’s easy to for me to get overwhelmed by comparison when I constantly see other artist’s amazing work. I try to turn that sense of self doubt into motivation though! Thanks for the pep talk Robin 🙏🏻
Ahhhhhh, the "I should" art killer. I "should" do subjects that are more abstract, less abstract, more like (someone you know), less like (someone you know). I should use (medium) more, I should use it less. I will be good enough someday, I'll never be good enough. I could be good enough if I just found some magical style, color choice, technique, vision, emotional connection. It goes on and on. All day, every day. Should it?
The best comment my art teacher have said to me: "This is art, the other students in this class don't maybe understand it, but remember, that this is art"
"I heard you've been having... thoughts"
I'll stop you right there, i have never had a thought in my life
Uh huh
No thoughts,just vibe.
I am 74. I started painting about 5 years ago. I’m just starting to like my work often. I have zero interest in selling my work, which is the best blessing. M. A. Y. B. E will create a web page.

Wow, good for you! Keep doing art
That is so great. I started into painting at 50 as the kids were moving away. Glad to hear you have found something you love. Keep going!
Good for you!!
The shift from "making art when inspiration hits" to "habitual artistic practice" literally changed my life!
Something that always helped me when I found myself comparing my work to others:
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man: true nobility is being superior to your former self" - Ernest Hemingway
A thought real artists don’t have:
“No, I’m never insecure about my work.”
So true haha

I have to admit that in the past I have had some of this thoughts.

Thank you I asked you for this video you made it and gave me answers to all my fears thanks again. Bless you.. You are a nice motivater.. ❤❤
God I really needed to hear this, thank u kind strange artist
Needed to hear this! Thank you Robin💖
I really needed to hear this! My self doubt has stopped me from doing so much in the past
Hi robin! I really love your videos and really felt like I needed to hear this so thank you so much for this video❣️❣️
I really wonder why people watch this and dislike. Like, wHy?
It’s probably the magnetic eyelash commercial
Bc they mad she called them out
After hearing those thoughts my heart hurts. I hope everyone puts a muzzle on their inner critic & just make something! AND HAVE FUN! ❤️

We all share them in private Facebook groups or dm messages with smaller groups. No stress. No real pressure to participate... Do the ones you like, or don’t. We’re just cheerleaders for each other. If nothing else, it’s nice to have new friends who are likeminded.
@@spikeybunny6577 Thank you, that does help, but I'm not sure if I have any friends interested enough to do it 😕
loved this - thank you! :)
Last week I started to watch how i met your mother and when I saw the character named Lily i was like "WOAW SHE REALLY LOOKS LIKE ROBIN SEALARK". Lily is as good artist as robin and they both energetic. So felt like im in dejavu!
Woow ❤️❤️ Love it!!
This felt really calming to watch/listen to.

Early!! Yay for a new video by Robin!
:)) yay thank you for being here
I love the artists way... Our brains are our worst enemies at time
Less is more? More or less? Should I just do it? Or should I just say no? I'm so confused I don't know or do I know I know I know I don't know that I know.
Power vs Force have many good reviews. I'm seaching it on my native language. I use Act As If to strengthen my inspiration. Good luck!
The fear of making bad art is so real. The fear that it will be both meaningless and uninteresting to look at. The struggle to pick a goddamn medium.... I love digital art but people think that traditional paintings have more merit and more value.... Ughhhh, so many thoughts
If you love it, then maybe you can do awesome things with it and it’s a space you creatively discover!
Oh mercy, I needed to hear this!
Good to know other artists have ALL the same thoughts as I do haha
It’s easy to for me to get overwhelmed by comparison when I constantly see other artist’s amazing work. I try to turn that sense of self doubt into motivation though! Thanks for the pep talk Robin 🙏🏻
Ahhhhhh, the "I should" art killer. I "should" do subjects that are more abstract, less abstract, more like (someone you know), less like (someone you know). I should use (medium) more, I should use it less. I will be good enough someday, I'll never be good enough. I could be good enough if I just found some magical style, color choice, technique, vision, emotional connection. It goes on and on. All day, every day. Should it?
Most of the time I don’t have the motivation to do artwork. But I still have interest in it
The best comment my art teacher have said to me: "This is art, the other students in this class don't maybe understand it, but remember, that this is art"
Holy fork, I think almost every thought that you said. Thanks for making this video, it helped me a lot 💖
Yes!.....unfortunately
