This is part 1 of making my own color for a watercolor painting! Painters used to make their own colors in the past. They couldn´t go to an art store and buy pre-made colors. I can explain a bit more in the next video if you want to! I have to wait for whole week until the "mud" in the end dries :D Can´t wait to show you part 2! 🎨
Valerie lin, I must tell you. You are not just an artist, you are a vibe. From repeatedly watching your TH-cam videos to applying the life lessons you used to share in each video, I feel so blessed to have discovered you in this digital world of millions of artists on TH-cam. Loving each bits and pieces of your videos. The way you show the whole process is just way toooooo good. God bless you.. Hope to meet you someday somewhere in this lifetime 🤗
@@justmechilling... don't talk if it's toxic . we're here to chill and that person shared something that matter you don't like it just keep it to yourself please.
Valerie you have no idea how much these free videos mean to me. They are like therapy, for years I’ve repressed my wants/ needs/ interests because I felt different. Today I felt something in my stomach, I want to fight back and not let my passions die out. And I just float around ☁️ I wonder why/ how it could happen in the first place
I would like to give you a hug 🌻 this has been me, looking at how much I've stifled myself and asking "why?", and then, "why not?" Have fun letting out your inner child 🌿✨️
Valerie, you have no idea how you have helped me. I've not even finished watching and I'm moved to tears. You are stirring me out of my limbo and truly inspiring me to get back to what I started a few yrs ago. I am 70, it's been a very difficult past few months, my mental and spiritual health has suffered from others illnesses. I'm learning, it's never too late. Starting over, with you and the book 'The Artists Way',,this is a good day to have a good day! Love you, so very grateful for your most lovely, giving spirit! Onward! 😍💫💝
What I love about your content is that you lead people back to themselves. I think that is what we have been lacking in society, a sense of connection with ourselves which has inadvertently led to a lack of connection with others. One day, I hope to produce inspiring content like yours from my own unique human experience. Thank you for sharing your light with us ❤
I've been thinking for a while what I want to say to you. I've been thinking of what you make me feel. I've been thinking about the smooth of your voice. Your kind words to ourselves, not only as a community but as artists. Your perspective on life and other matters are truly unique and beautiful. Thank you for making me feel less alone in this vast world.
I have watched your videos and all I can say is I RESPECT YOU. I cried while watching them (all of them made me cry). You are pushing yourself to reach your full potential. I DO RESPECT YOU.
I've been telling myself i need to be free, start crafting, art is my passion, i want to create. But all while struggling to keep employment and a roof over my head, telling myself i can only have one or the other.. Work and home or homeless and free. I just can't focus hard enough to do it all for myself.
I swear every time I watch your videos it brings tears to my eyes because it’s so beautiful and powerful. Not only are your stories relatable, but each angle, the music, watching you work it’s an amazing and thoughtful experience. I’m so sorry you struggled in school, I did too. The education system does not reward many kindly especially those of us who can create our own paths. I often wonder do you look at your life now and think man if my younger self could see this now? I feel still we all have that broken child within us and I think back to times that were so hard and even dangerous and I wish I could have been there for myself. I’m glad you made it out ❤
Thank you, dear Valerie, for sharing all that you are. You cannot imagine how much it helps your viewers and how much healing your bring by sharing your feelings and stories of your life.
Valerie, I feel grateful for your existence. Thank you for sharing on yt. You are a wonderful model of exploring life thru the curiosity of your interests. Success thru failure; bad student, good student, repeat. Iam an older person, And i appreciate you for your kind & gentle approach to life- the nature science. There are no accidents
It took me a while to understand that failure is okay, my whole life education has been a way to prove my self worth. Whenever I did bad on a test that would put me in a situation where I hated myself. With deep deception. However I started learning that never is too late to start again. If i fail a class i can take it again when I feel more prepared. Effort is important but not so much if it consumes you. Now, when something bad happens in my life I take it as a lesson that I shouldnt repeat, living like its my last day. Thinking that way really changes your life and more if you are a student.
Dear Sister! No words for the hard work you put in your videos. I feel as if you are sitting by my side and talking to me, giving me life lessons. I wish I could meet you once in my life and thank you for everything. You are my favourite person on TH-cam.
Thank you so much Valerie for being the older sister I never had, thank you for being my unpaid therapist and comforting me, I've learnt a lot from you. I LOVE YOUUU🤍✨️
As an artist i know what art for me really is , i experience different worlds when i am writing something. Same for paintings,its like to convey something special that is present in your mind without using a word an artist always demands your attention and wants you to feel what he/she is feeling something that cannot be explained only with words ,pen ,brush ,but with a certain feeling .Velerie your every painting evoke a special feeling, for me it just inspires me to write something that is capable of evoking certain feeling and i just admire your talent
I don't know what it is but your videos give me inner peace. Even during my dull days when I have to sit at the computer and do my "boring" job I feel like it's a great day and that it all has a purpose. It gives me faith and hope that I can start with small steps and appreciate my life the way it is now and I will grow. I've been feeling stuck in limbo for a big part of my late teens and twenties. Your videos are a reminder to stay curious and I feel I'm getting re-connected with my inner self.
Wow, I never noticed the shot of the moon at 4:25--Valerie, your composition is incredible! I watch through your videos several times over the months and I still notice new things
At 43 going on 44 I am dealing with that very thing. Not knowing who I am and what my purpose is in this life. My anxiety at times is through the roof but I don't know what I want or what to do. My wheels are turning but the car is not moving. It's a struggle to be just me and live life to the fullest because I feel so limited. My art work helps me expand my creative mind and explore things with my own perspective and that right now is my only escape from the world.
I am kinda speechless by your attempt. Your passion, laughter and delight reminded me of the bliss I felt when I used to paint. Watching your life/artwork is indeed a delight and pleasure. Thank you for this beautiful creation.
This video is like a short film, all by itself. You've woved into it a diary of your life and curiosities, while also speaking deeper on the reasons about humanity. I'm sitting here paused, reading the transcript just digesting it more.
As an artist who makes my own pigment, it is so nice to see your own process. I’m learning so much from you as a person and as a creative. 😊 btw, where did you get this beautiful set? I’m working from used jars lol
Your essays are so comforting. I love those moment when you open a new package. Your insights are so poetic and real. The way you approach the world-slow, precise, and with awe. You help me feel like it's possible to live a richer, simpler life. Thank you so much for your words and encouragement.
Seriously everything is so beautiful and well thought out, her channel is the most beautiful on TH-cam imo. It touches my soul and emotions every single time.
the comfort your videos give me. no it won't change my life, that's my job. but it gives me ease and wonder. something i seem to have less of as life passes. you're familiar and a stranger. you are an alchemist in more ways than you think and that's just the way it should be at this point in time
Valerie, you are a miracle, heaven sent, and I cannot express in words what your videos mean to me. Especially this one, one of the best you have made. I have just come out of one of the deepest existential crises in my life. And I am in creative flow again, with an ease that I have never known before. I recognize a lot of your feelings in this video. Thanks soooo much, and I wish you lots of love and great joy and deep soulfulfilment in your days.
I totally agree with the statement at 10:33. Without the empirical trials, without experimenting there will never be a full understanding. Knowledge might be gained by studying and repeating, but true understanding needs trials needs experiments. And there is a particular beauty to experiments that cannot be explained which for me is the real mysticism and magic of understanding everything, including life.
I do agree with your perception on not learning through somebody else's experiences. It's imperative to have your own, that's what leads to awareness of the world. Awareness comes from one's own experiences, and not by counting on someone's else's way of dealing with life.
Valerie , you can't imagine how your videos , voice , kindness relaxes me after a busy and awful day of school. You are a source of inspiration and beautiful art . like i can see clearly the big effort that you make in each video , text and lightning and camera angles , so thank you so much for sharing your art life with us in a world full of darkness , bullying , negatif people , and don't let anyone or any thought affects on you not to keep doing what r u doing. L.O.V.E Y.O.U🌼.
I could have watched this for hours! Was so sad when the video was over. The vibes, the music, just everything about this video is magical! Even more so than your other videos are 😍
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. “ from the book , The Life of Reason. Such wise words repeated by many. Thank you for your insights.
I relate so much with you on so many levels. It feels really nice to know I’m not alone in feeling these things. Thank you so much for existing and sharing yourself ❤
12:51 "Don't you ever ask yourself why you desire certain things and others not?" THE WAY THIS QUOTE IS LIGHTING SOMETHING IN MY SOUL!!! 😩🔥 You're so great with words!!!
I just wanna say Love you Valerie! a lot of things along with your videos have helped me to fight with my depression.. I am a multitalented person but lost it for a while.. I am again starting the journey to get it back together, get myself together and get rid of my insecurities as well.
Valeria, I want you to know that your videos bring me immense comfort. I like to cycle through them throughout my work day to bring calm in the midst of the busyness of the day. Thank you for sharing your art and words of wisdom. I always look forward to your next video!
Valerie you are so beautiful and not just how you look but how you lovingly do everything even the basics so gently and delicately so peaceful so harmonious and genuine 💕🌈❤️💕🥰🧿🥹
thank you so much for all your content and for sharing your thoughts, valerie 🌷 i wanted to say thank you mainly because last week i started an entrance seminar to be accept in university for the first time and i've been watching your videos all these mornings to have motivation, inspiration, hope and confidence in myself. and most importantly, peace. you give me so much peace, i get really nervous very easily and kind of pessimistic but listening to your words and watching you paint, visit museums or walking in the park comforts me so much. also since i'm from a spanish speaking country and i'm currently studying english, i have to really excel in grammar, speaking, listening and writing in order to enter thi university so listening your pronunciation and your vocabulary helps me and encourages me to speak confidently before going to my class 🌈
Hallo Valerie, ich habe dich vor kurzem entdeckt und habe mich dran gemacht, nach und nach deine Videos zu schauen. da ich alle angeschaut hab, warte ich nun immer gespannt auf dein neues Werk ^^. Dein Schnitt, deine Bewegungen, die Atmosphäre...es stimmt einfach alles. Nicht einfach "nur" ein Kunstvideo, sondern Philosophie, Therapie, Entspannung, Wissen..... Es ist schön wenn man noch solche Schätze auf TH-cam findet...Menschen die sich extrem viel Mühe geben, die vielleicht nicht jeden Tag, jede Woche...ein Video "raushaun", sondern wenn sie ein Video hochladen, man sich sicher sein kann, das es qualitativ hochwertig ist und einen großen Mehrwert hat! Bin gespannt wies weitergeht ^^. War richtig spannend...ich dachte du machst Kristalle XD! Vielen Dank für die Mühe und die tollen Worte und Inspirationen!!!
You know what the most happiest thing of seeing your videos. Seeing you living in the life I always dream ❤ it such light happy feeling to see someone living in the life u want .✨
Hello dear Valerie..you don't know How much people you've inspired by your talks..arts.. principals.. you're way different than other artists.. You've been always sharing life lessons in youe every video which never failed to inspire me..I still remember the 30th July of 2021... your vdo came in my yt suggestions...The Teenager me was going to be depressed cause of lockdown .. It's not like I didn't know what Drawing is.. it's just I didn't know What Art is.. what My art type is..After watching your video [How loneliness helped me in improving my art.. Released on 29th, 2021]..I wanted to restart my drawing.. merely after 1 year..I tried different types and Found what my type is.. Portrait sketching.. I'm in totally in love with Portrait sketching.. Sketching portraits makes me feel so relaxed and Calm.. I'll just thank you for this..:)...lots of love 💌
Valerie you really know how to talk to people. You speak very sincerely. I think this is the most important reason for the growth of your channel. What you say is very valuable to me. I may have cried a little while watching. Thank you. You have helped me a lot with these videos.
You can't not love this video. Great storytelling, great music, the atmosphere... I felt like I was there with you. And also some ASMR sensation... Thank you so much, it is appreciated. Thank you for inspiring us always. ❣
I agree with another commentor that your videos are a masterpiece. I so look forward to each one as they are so beautifully and creatively done and always contain a nugget of wisdom or two.
Hi Valerie. I really appreciate all your content. Much of my life I've struggled with anxiety and thought it prudent to learn by observation and history; rather than try things (fearlessly) for myself. Picking up watercolor painting has gotten me taught me the value of letting go and giving things a shot when the outcome will be unknown. I'm learning to trust myself and my capabilities. Your words ring true in a way I don't think they would have for my younger self. Thank you. ❤
I totally agree with you Valerie, we have to sometimes go through unknown paths to find our true self! So glad to view this….inspired me so much for my own journey ❤
this transported me into another world, the same way certain films and books do. i never wanted this to end. i've been enchanted and i won't return from here 🎐
Thank you very much Valerie 🤗🤗🤗 I love you❤️ I'm just a 16yr old trying to find out my inner passion and ambition in life. This past few months has been a success because I finally got a C in math which I have never had since high school Any time I Watch your TH-cam video you give me hope and inspiring words to continue with pressure. I'm really glad I found you💯💯
Your videos ways feel like a conversation with a good friend, or the part of me I speak with in my journal. I swear, your video topics always mirror my personal musings and give me so much inspiration to create my life. Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos 🌻🌿
I wish to leave a note, but I am so overwhelmed that I can't make coherence of my feelings. Just know that your mind is beautiful, you carry this beautiful ability to make people feel shifted -- transcended simply through words you speak, atmosphere you create & your presence, you've got a beautiful energy of life
Valerie, oh you’re such an extraordinary woman. Each time I watch your vidéo, at the end, I have always the same word « Wouaw ! ». You are rare and precious. Keep going 🫶🏾
Valrie, I always feel like you know telepathy, whenever I am in a tough situation you come over to drop a video, that's is meticulously created for that topic. I would never regret coming across your vlog one day and staying here forever. I am starting my final exam of highschool and will be appearing for uni exams, It's a lifechanging point, and hence the tremendous anxiety. I have always loved your process of creating art for it is so calming and lastly I hope you bless me with your warm , kind and wise artistic heart
Girl, you are something else!! You have the power and ability to inspire our strengh and make us not feel alone. May the Universe send you all the energy of gratitude and love I feel right now for your existence and your work. Thank you so much, you are blessed.
Dear Valerie.....I'm from India and here's I'm sending soo much love for you😍😍I'm suffering from emotional stress and anxiety for a long time and today i felt so de-motivated....then i started to watch this video and it seems like "You" are a "Magic". 😘I love you Valerie❤your voice made me so calm today🤗❤keep going girl....love you forever❤😘😍🤗😘
I have found your videos during a tough time in my life, I have feelings of uncertainty, confusion about direction and creative identity. I feel like I needed to find something new to ignite the spark I had lost over the last two years. Finding your channel has been transformative for me. Your videos make me feel refreshed and excited about creating something new again. They have opened my eyes to how beautiful our own thoughts and ideas are. Upon recently finding your channel, I desire to manifest those ideas. I can’t thank you enough for your content and sharing your creativity, perspectives and personality with the world.
This video had me grinning. I have a lot of admiration for the natural sciences, chemistry in particular. There's something so cool and cosmic about breaking down and rearranging organic compounds to make anything you want, its unparalleled and that gets me excited! I also really liked what you said about Limbo and indecision. I use to use indecision as a way to avoid the pain of failure but I don't feel that way anymore. When I fail it stimulates my neurons and my brain has to work hard and shift perspectives to find a solution. Mistakes promote growth and are stepping stones on my journey. As always thank you for another fantastic video!
Thank you for your words. Truly I have facing trouble in my times especially dealing with an anxiety. Your words really motivating me from this video. I really needed to hear this everyday whenever I'm at doubt about myself. Thank you as well for your magical beautiful video ❤
It is a joy to watch you make watercolors while you talk. It is so fasinanting the way people find themself do things they never though they wouldn've done. I love seeing your joy near the end. :) Love from california:)
Valerie, thank you so much for sharing this. You have an indescribable ability to touch my soul with your videos, your art, your perspective of life and world.
Valerie! I love you so much! Whenever I see you have posted a new video, it's like a mini Christmas - I can feel my heart expand with excitement and trust just like a child does in front of magical moments. I rewatch your videos many times. They truly are gifts. Thank you! Vielen Dank :)
You're sooooooo beautiful Valerie! and I'm not just saying about your appearence. You're a curious and amazing soul. I'm 14 years old, but I fell my soul talking with your soul while i'm watching your videos. Pls never stop to show us your essence. :)💖💖
Thank you Valerie for showing us a part of you and telling us what's on your mind. I am thankful to have found you. You always bring light to my dark times. You always say things that coincidentally aligns with my life struggles and I am very thankful of you. Keep doing what you love and enjoy every process. Thank you for always making me feel something especially when I'm also in a state of nothing. Enjoy your journey and take care 💙
Oh, Valerie. You are a big help to me. Like a therapist. I haven’t seen your vids since November. My life has been all over the place but I finally found you again and now I’m subscribed. Thank you much for your words. Your encouragement. Your talent. Your patience. Your mind is beautiful and so is your heart and your spirit. I am so happy to be back 🥺🌈😄🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
I love how raw and authentic you are and how I can connect and relate to the things you share. I love art but for me it’s the journey and the process befor that truly makes the art at least for me and it’s nice to be able to watch and learn from yours.
I don't why but this video makes me cry of happy tears. I felt I went into a therapy session, a retreat, a reflection, a meditative state, so much better than a ted talk. You are amazing Valerie, thank you so much for sharing with us your thoughts, your life lessons, and your amazing talent!
This is part 1 of making my own color for a watercolor painting! Painters used to make their own colors in the past. They couldn´t go to an art store and buy pre-made colors. I can explain a bit more in the next video if you want to! I have to wait for whole week until the "mud" in the end dries :D Can´t wait to show you part 2! 🎨
Yes, please do explain
I love seeing your work! But please - Use safety glasses when working with this!
Your videos are therapeutic ❤️ Have you heard of 'Sadhguru'?
Amazing video Valerie! Could you please share with us which books are the ones that appears in the video? Can't wait to watch chapter 2 :) Thanks!
Really want to know more dear... Thank you for your beautiful massages which you gave to us. I really happy to see you again and again ☺❤
Valerie lin, I must tell you. You are not just an artist, you are a vibe.

So perfectly said I agree 100%
I totally agree, well said, I'm so grateful to have you found you on TH-cam and always look forward to your videos!! Many blessings to you!
That's so true ❤❤
She's a gem! What a wonderful artist. She's wise beyond her own age.
Today, after 7 years of struggling, I sat at my bench again. I am 56 years a silversmith. You have been a part of my healing. Thank you.
Awh lovely have fun...
@@justmechilling... don't talk if it's toxic . we're here to chill and that person shared something that matter you don't like it just keep it to yourself please.
I think you should practice what you preach.Keep it to yourself. No need to be nasty,! Whewww!
Valerie you have no idea how much these free videos mean to me. They are like therapy, for years I’ve repressed my wants/ needs/ interests because I felt different.

another Valerie Lin video, another calm and cozy night 🌕
Ma'am I am a high school student and I am so stuck at choosing a career 😖 . Thank you I can't explain in words how much your words touched me! ♥❣️♥
The calmness i experience from your vlogs is inexplicable. The aura you exude can be felt from here, even when we are miles apart.
Your videos are literally like my inner voice is talking to me.....
I want my future self as you ....❤❤✨✨
4:14 the moon from the window ✨💗
Thank you, dear Valerie, for sharing all that you are. You cannot imagine how much it helps your viewers and how much healing your bring by sharing your feelings and stories of your life.
Valerie,
I feel grateful for your existence.
Thank you for sharing on yt.
You are a wonderful model of exploring life thru the curiosity of your interests.
Success thru failure; bad student, good student, repeat.
Iam an older person,
And i appreciate you
for your kind & gentle approach to life- the nature science.
There are no accidents
It took me a while to understand that failure is okay, my whole life education has been a way to prove my self worth.

I feel the same! I have been watching her on repeat these days 🎨❤ and getting inspired to create my own art content!
I don't know what it is but your videos give me inner peace. Even during my dull days when I have to sit at the computer and do my "boring" job I feel like it's a great day and that it all has a purpose.

This video could not have come out at a better time. As an artist who has been struggling with anxiety, thank you for making me feel less alone. 💙💙

Gosh! Your videos are so wonderful. Your art making process is such a gift to witness & your wisdom eases the soul. Much gratitude!
You never fail to awe us Valerie. I don't know, I always get a sudden urge to become an artist or writer whenever I see your videos.
Your essays are so comforting. I love those moment when you open a new package. Your insights are so poetic and real. The way you approach the world-slow, precise, and with awe. You help me feel like it's possible to live a richer, simpler life. Thank you so much for your words and encouragement.

I do agree with your perception on not learning through somebody else's experiences. It's imperative to have your own, that's what leads to awareness of the world. Awareness comes from one's own experiences, and not by counting on someone's else's way of dealing with life.
Your videos have power to give air to breathe when I feel there's none around me anymore. Thank you Valerie! I needed it, especially today ❤
Valerie , you can't imagine how your videos , voice , kindness relaxes me after a busy and awful day of school. You are a source of inspiration and beautiful art . like i can see clearly the big effort that you make in each video , text and lightning and camera angles , so thank you so much for sharing your art life with us in a world full of darkness , bullying , negatif people , and don't let anyone or any thought affects on you not to keep doing what r u doing. L.O.V.E Y.O.U🌼.
I could have watched this for hours! Was so sad when the video was over. The vibes, the music, just everything about this video is magical! Even more so than your other videos are 😍
You are one of the few people on the internet that is actually inspiring. Thank you.
You are among the few creators who makes youtube calming and purposeful thank you valerie you always calm me down when I'm stressed
Very true. I've been on TH-cam for 10 years and there is no one like her. She is original and unique.
Have you watched Morgan Long?
you should make the longest movie ever existed in history and I am so sure, we are all gonna love each and every second of it.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. “ from the book , The Life of Reason. Such wise words repeated by many. Thank you for your insights.
" we fear to make the wrong decision " this is what i really needed sister... Thank you so much for showing ne the mirror... Love u so much sister..
Sitting in my art room at college painting and this has popped up. Perfect timing !!
I relate so much with you on so many levels. It feels really nice to know I’m not alone in feeling these things. Thank you so much for existing and sharing yourself ❤
Valerie, you are so inspiring, and I love your videos. They are always so peaceful and calming. I will probably rewatch this video a lot :D
Such inspirational videos! I am a recent widow, 65 years old age and really enjoy hearing your theories on life.
Thankyou

THE WAY THIS QUOTE IS LIGHTING SOMETHING IN MY SOUL!!! 😩🔥
You're so great with words!!!
I just wanna say Love you Valerie! a lot of things along with your videos have helped me to fight with my depression.. I am a multitalented person but lost it for a while.. I am again starting the journey to get it back together, get myself together and get rid of my insecurities as well.
Valeria, I want you to know that your videos bring me immense comfort. I like to cycle through them throughout my work day to bring calm in the midst of the busyness of the day. Thank you for sharing your art and words of wisdom. I always look forward to your next video!
You are so insanely good at making people think!! Beautiful video💜
Simply - thank you Valerie, for sharing your thoughts… you put positivity into the world
you're my comfort zone, Valerie !!🥺💓
your laugh is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen with my eyes💫
Valerie you are so beautiful and not just how you look but how you lovingly do everything even the basics so gently and delicately so peaceful so harmonious and genuine 💕🌈❤️💕🥰🧿🥹
thank you so much for all your content and for sharing your thoughts, valerie 🌷 i wanted to say thank you mainly because last week i started an entrance seminar to be accept in university for the first time and i've been watching your videos all these mornings to have motivation, inspiration, hope and confidence in myself. and most importantly, peace. you give me so much peace, i get really nervous very easily and kind of pessimistic but listening to your words and watching you paint, visit museums or walking in the park comforts me so much. also since i'm from a spanish speaking country and i'm currently studying english, i have to really excel in grammar, speaking, listening and writing in order to enter thi university so listening your pronunciation and your vocabulary helps me and encourages me to speak confidently before going to my class 🌈
Hallo Valerie, ich habe dich vor kurzem entdeckt und habe mich dran gemacht, nach und nach deine Videos zu schauen. da ich alle angeschaut hab, warte ich nun immer gespannt auf dein neues Werk ^^.
Dein Schnitt, deine Bewegungen, die Atmosphäre...es stimmt einfach alles. Nicht einfach "nur" ein Kunstvideo, sondern Philosophie, Therapie, Entspannung, Wissen.....
Es ist schön wenn man noch solche Schätze auf TH-cam findet...Menschen die sich extrem viel Mühe geben, die vielleicht nicht jeden Tag, jede Woche...ein Video "raushaun", sondern wenn sie ein Video hochladen, man sich sicher sein kann, das es qualitativ hochwertig ist und einen großen Mehrwert hat!
Bin gespannt wies weitergeht ^^.
War richtig spannend...ich dachte du machst Kristalle XD!
Vielen Dank für die Mühe und die tollen Worte und Inspirationen!!!
You know what the most happiest thing of seeing your videos. Seeing you living in the life I always dream ❤ it such light happy feeling to see someone living in the life u want .✨
Hello dear Valerie..you don't know How much people you've inspired by your talks..arts.. principals.. you're way different than other artists.. You've been always sharing life lessons in youe every video which never failed to inspire me..I still remember the 30th July of 2021... your vdo came in my yt suggestions...The Teenager me was going to be depressed cause of lockdown .. It's not like I didn't know what Drawing is.. it's just I didn't know What Art is.. what My art type is..After watching your video [How loneliness helped me in improving my art.. Released on 29th, 2021]..I wanted to restart my drawing.. merely after 1 year..I tried different types and Found what my type is.. Portrait sketching.. I'm in totally in love with Portrait sketching.. Sketching portraits makes me feel so relaxed and Calm.. I'll just thank you for this..:)...lots of love 💌
Valerie you really know how to talk to people. You speak very sincerely. I think this is the most important reason for the growth of your channel. What you say is very valuable to me. I may have cried a little while watching. Thank you. You have helped me a lot with these videos.
You are a gift to the world🙏🏽Thank you for doing the bravest thing human beings can ever do; be who there and share it with the world🕊💛🦋
You can't not love this video. Great storytelling, great music, the atmosphere... I felt like I was there with you. And also some ASMR sensation... Thank you so much, it is appreciated. Thank you for inspiring us always. ❣
The set up, the lighting, the words you chose… it’s more than a vlog, it’s cinema. Thank you for sharing your vision with us.
You are a wonderful story teller ❤
I agree with another commentor that your videos are a masterpiece. I so look forward to each one as they are so beautifully and creatively done and always contain a nugget of wisdom or two.
Hi Valerie. I really appreciate all your content. Much of my life I've struggled with anxiety and thought it prudent to learn by observation and history; rather than try things (fearlessly) for myself. Picking up watercolor painting has gotten me taught me the value of letting go and giving things a shot when the outcome will be unknown. I'm learning to trust myself and my capabilities. Your words ring true in a way I don't think they would have for my younger self. Thank you. ❤
I totally agree with you Valerie, we have to sometimes go through unknown paths to find our true self! So glad to view this….inspired me so much for my own journey ❤
this transported me into another world, the same way certain films and books do. i never wanted this to end. i've been enchanted and i won't return from here 🎐
Thank you very much Valerie 🤗🤗🤗 I love you❤️ I'm just a 16yr old trying to find out my inner passion and ambition in life.
This past few months has been a success because I finally got a C in math which I have never had since high school
Any time I Watch your TH-cam video you give me hope and inspiring words to continue with pressure.
I'm really glad I found you💯💯
I don't know if it just me but you made laugh a lot from your expressions at this part Valerie - 11:37. Thank you so much.
You are one of my favorite TH-camrs. Thank you sister.
Your life patience is paying out.
Your videos ways feel like a conversation with a good friend, or the part of me I speak with in my journal. I swear, your video topics always mirror my personal musings and give me so much inspiration to create my life. Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos 🌻🌿
I wish to leave a note, but I am so overwhelmed that I can't make coherence of my feelings. Just know that your mind is beautiful, you carry this beautiful ability to make people feel shifted -- transcended simply through words you speak, atmosphere you create & your presence, you've got a beautiful energy of life
Valerie, oh you’re such an extraordinary woman. Each time I watch your vidéo, at the end, I have always the same word « Wouaw ! ». You are rare and precious. Keep going 🫶🏾
I miss you Valerie. I'm watching your old videos today as comfort. I hope you are doing well. Be gentle and loving to yourself. You are appreciated! ❤
Valrie, I always feel like you know telepathy, whenever I am in a tough situation you come over to drop a video, that's is meticulously created for that topic. I would never regret coming across your vlog one day and staying here forever.
I am starting my final exam of highschool and will be appearing for uni exams, It's a lifechanging point, and hence the tremendous anxiety. I have always loved your process of creating art for it is so calming and lastly I hope you bless me with your warm , kind and wise artistic heart
Love this episode, hope there will still be a part 2. Love it when you spend time in the library and those mysterious laboratory vibes in your room ❤
Girl, you are something else!! You have the power and ability to inspire our strengh and make us not feel alone. May the Universe send you all the energy of gratitude and love I feel right now for your existence and your work. Thank you so much, you are blessed.
Amazing video! I am blown away by both the message and the execution. Thank you Valerie!
Dear Valerie.....I'm from India and here's I'm sending soo much love for you😍😍I'm suffering from emotional stress and anxiety for a long time and today i felt so de-motivated....then i started to watch this video and it seems like "You" are a "Magic". 😘I love you Valerie❤your voice made me so calm today🤗❤keep going girl....love you forever❤😘😍🤗😘
I have found your videos during a tough time in my life, I have feelings of uncertainty, confusion about direction and creative identity. I feel like I needed to find something new to ignite the spark I had lost over the last two years. Finding your channel has been transformative for me. Your videos make me feel refreshed and excited about creating something new again. They have opened my eyes to how beautiful our own thoughts and ideas are. Upon recently finding your channel, I desire to manifest those ideas. I can’t thank you enough for your content and sharing your creativity, perspectives and personality with the world.
This video had me grinning. I have a lot of admiration for the natural sciences, chemistry in particular. There's something so cool and cosmic about breaking down and rearranging organic compounds to make anything you want, its unparalleled and that gets me excited! I also really liked what you said about Limbo and indecision. I use to use indecision as a way to avoid the pain of failure but I don't feel that way anymore. When I fail it stimulates my neurons and my brain has to work hard and shift perspectives to find a solution. Mistakes promote growth and are stepping stones on my journey.
As always thank you for another fantastic video!
❤Me too. Do you know such beautiful channels?
Thank you for your words. Truly I have facing trouble in my times especially dealing with an anxiety. Your words really motivating me from this video. I really needed to hear this everyday whenever I'm at doubt about myself. Thank you as well for your magical beautiful video ❤
You bring so much magic to this world. Thank you for this❤
It is a joy to watch you make watercolors while you talk. It is so fasinanting the way people find themself do things they never though they wouldn've done. I love seeing your joy near the end. :) Love from california:)
Valerie, thank you so much for sharing this. You have an indescribable ability to touch my soul with your videos, your art, your perspective of life and world.
Valerie! I love you so much! Whenever I see you have posted a new video, it's like a mini Christmas - I can feel my heart expand with excitement and trust just like a child does in front of magical moments. I rewatch your videos many times. They truly are gifts. Thank you!
Vielen Dank :)
You're sooooooo beautiful Valerie! and I'm not just saying about your appearence. You're a curious and amazing soul. I'm 14 years old, but I fell my soul talking with your soul while i'm watching your videos. Pls never stop to show us your essence. :)💖💖
Thank you Valerie for showing us a part of you and telling us what's on your mind. I am thankful to have found you. You always bring light to my dark times. You always say things that coincidentally aligns with my life struggles and I am very thankful of you. Keep doing what you love and enjoy every process. Thank you for always making me feel something especially when I'm also in a state of nothing. Enjoy your journey and take care 💙
It was like a high quality movie scene. Love you Valerie🖤
Oh, Valerie. You are a big help to me. Like a therapist. I haven’t seen your vids since November. My life has been all over the place but I finally found you again and now I’m subscribed. Thank you much for your words. Your encouragement. Your talent. Your patience. Your mind is beautiful and so is your heart and your spirit. I am so happy to be back 🥺🌈😄🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
I love you so much that I keep your new videos for my emergency time needed. It heals me. Thank you so much Valerie 🤍🕊🤍
I love how raw and authentic you are and how I can connect and relate to the things you share. I love art but for me it’s the journey and the process befor that truly makes the art at least for me and it’s nice to be able to watch and learn from yours.
I don't why but this video makes me cry of happy tears. I felt I went into a therapy session, a retreat, a reflection, a meditative state, so much better than a ted talk. You are amazing Valerie, thank you so much for sharing with us your thoughts, your life lessons, and your amazing talent!
