I have noticed that alot of people who born in 2005 and now they are 18 are so smart and creative almost every person i see in internet who is doing an amazing job is 18
It's become a bad habit of mine over the last months that I mindlessly scroll through TH-cam for hours looking for something that I feel connected to, then by accident I found this video and you struck a chord in me. Took me only 1 minute to hit Like and 4 to hit subscribe. I LOVE being creative and can totally identify with your mindset and just realised what you describe is what I've been missing for so long. I gave up on trying new things or even doing what I am good at because I developed a great fear of failure. Now I feel encouraged to pick up my brushes again and dust off old projects that I never finished. Thank you so much.
Well, you’ve helped boost the motivation of this 61-year-old who just spent the Christmas holidays exploring the creative potential of oil pastels that I’ve carted around with me for 50 years with using them. Suddenly I discovered a new joyful activity and reawakened a skill that lay dormant since grade school.
Your " rambling" is more coherent than a lot of folks' carefully crafted speeches. I'm going to learn to quilt in 2024. Let's journey together. Happy New Year 🎉
Excellent presentation, editing, narration, and paintings! Not sure what it is about the colorful fish but it's oddly fun to see them painted and come to life. Great work as always!
“i need more color in my life” i don’t think a quote from a youtube video has ever hit me so hard. the way you string your words together is so beautiful and inspiring. your artwork is also breathtaking. i can’t wait to see what else you create ♡︎
I have been craving this sort of inspiration. This video is SO relatable (especially when it comes to being interested in the many facets that this world has to offer). I have been struggling for the past couple of years when it comes to creativity. From drawing nearly everyday as a young adult, to never picking up a pen in MONTHS as I am nearing the age of 30. I hope to do something creative every day with you, too. Thank you giving people like me a little spark of creativity, a sense of hope, and the feeling of not being alone in craving color in our lives.
Thank you for the inspiration Mick. My daughter bought me a sketch book for Christmas in 2021. I just found it in a box the other day, with only three pencil drawings in it. You've given me motivation to work on more. Maybe to supplement your income you could have prints made of your paintings and sell them. They are great!
I hear and watch many, many videos here on youtube trying to rescue the joy in me to create, that in the past year I've completely lost.. and none did anything to me, until today I saw your video. I will learn to dance and tattoo in 2024. There is so much life in what you do, keep posting. This was so lovely, like a flame that lits others. Lets all make company to each other in the way; Warm regards from Brazil
Hiya fellow artist and creator! I’m pretty blown away by your attitude and accomplishments for someone so young! It was interesting to see the way you worked with watercolour on this painting. You used it pretty much like gouache and the brush you used was definitely making it even more challenging. Now that you’ve discovered watercolours, I encourage you to dive deep into the process and learn what magic it holds. It is a medium unlike any other and when allowed more freedom on the page (use more water! Lol) it can create a million little masterpieces all by itself! Play around with different brushes, papers, paints and techniques. Let it loose on the page to flow and mix with other colours…you will have an absolute ball! Welcome to the watercolour lover’s club. Happy painting! ❤
I speak like Lemony Snicket and I love it and is the way I love to narrate my head and love hearing people speak it’s so calming and makes you actually want to listen and get up and really do smth
This is my first video of yours and I was immediately enamored and inspired by your talent and passion. You're an artist in the truest sense and this little five and a half minute video motivated me to keep creating even when discouraged so thank you :)
I constantly worry about not drawing good enough and therefore not getting into art school. Something like this, taking a step back, really makes the stress disappear, and in turn I make the best art I ever have nearly every time I create, purely because my perspective is no longer negative. This year I’ll try to explore the natural world with art, and hopefully share the journey with you :)
That was just what l needed at 5.30 am. I can't sleep. I'm happy to be awake watching this. Calming, inspiring, and mesmerising. It occurred to me that you might enjoy Chinese Colligraphy. I purchased a pack of brushes to paint pictures with. They are a dream to paint with. The brushes are sort of far with a tapered off tip. They hold an incredible amount of paint. I recommend mixing up thin coloured inks or watercolours, and starting with petals or leaves, you will be stoked with the results. ❤
Enjoyed this Mick. Voice over is fine. Delighted you didn't say "Toil for your food" Just nice farewell sentence. Natural. Thank you. I am going to enjoy your journey. I'm also looking for to see you making those rings and going back to the cabin. You have been very honest. Great work. Interesting and entertaining journey.
This has absolutely left me floored and inspired to make and try lots of stuff - please make more watercolour paintings and more on who you are, what you’re all about. You’re not going to mess it up - just be you. Lovely to have the TH-cam algorithm do its job and recommend a great person ❤
Hello Mick...you have what it takes to not only create beautiful art, but to inspire & light that spark of creativity that that is inside all of us who love making art. I put all of my dreams of being a painter on the back burner to raise my 2 kids, etc...that was many years ago, but thankfully, that dream never left...I try to paint or draw every day. as they say, "just show up"! Can't wait to see what all you will accomplish! Peace & Love..
Absolutely beautiful! You are so gifted with a voice for storytelling. I love listening to your every word, please never stop. Love the rings you make also! 😻
Funny how you say "I'm rambling" and I'm thinking "NO YOU AREN'T!" Funny, because I say this phrase a lot, and my best friend always takes exception. I've learned that what seems like a "ramble" to me, is not necessarily a ramble to others. I think it goes with that storytelling gift. Please - ramble! This is the best part of EVERY video you make. So good to find this channel. Wishing you the best in 2024.
I have been following your Alaska cabin build and liking it, but this......this art theme is awesome!!!! It blew me away! I look forward to seeing more. As I was watching, it dawned on me that your book of 2024 paintings may one day be showcased on a museum wall.
It is a delight to witness the amazing process that brings one's ideas to physical reality ! The brain/eye/hand connection is a real gift ! Thank you ! Happy to go along on your journey ! Stay safe , well , creative and always , finding Joy in unexpected places !!
Mick, I absolutely love what you are doing. I appreciate the short quick concise videos that are packed full of interesting, intelligent and intriguing content! Thank for sharing your talent and encouraging others to join in the journey!
AHHHHHH...a joy to listen to good enunciation, clear explanation, and good grammar. A rare thing nowdays. It was a pleasure to listen to you (plus your voice is very lovely). Enjoy your life.
Wow this wideo really hit home! Speachless. This is exactly what I need for this moment, been yearning to establish a habit of creating art everyday. And seems like Im not the only one. Thank you Mick, Im glad to join this community🌻🌼🌸
Houston here. First time watching. Your tone and the music were so calming. I just found diamond painting. I’m really enjoying it. At first I was rushing thru it, pushing down to hard on the canvas, gripping the gem tool with a death grip. As I noticed this I slowed down, relaxed, an my crazy self just paused a bit. This gramma has rushed thru life an now at 73 I’m at the edge looking over. I pray for peace.
Beautiful work! 🤩 I’m also a lifelong maker, always trying new things, last year I started blacksmithing and will continue diving deeper on that this year and probably many more
You are so gifted Mick! I hope you turn your art into works that can be purchased. Maybe your own Etsey shop. I would support that for sure! So excited to watch your art journey.
You are so talented! The painting is beautiful. And you most definitely have the gift of story-telling & the perfect voice for doing so. Looking forward to more content here & on your other channel as you continue building your life in Alaska. I'm a Floridian - born & raised here - but for some reason I am so drawn to Alaska. I'm about to plan a 5th trip there for later this year. It's such a beautiful place. You are very fortunate to have property there & with a nice view too.
Happy New Year Mick! So excited to see all your beautiful creations on this channel in 2024. I don’t mind voice overs either! Wishing you all the best in 2024!! ❤🙏
never resonated so much with someone so much about having a deep fascination with the world and such a strong desire to create by whatever means possible; art has and always will be my lifeblood. so glad to have stumbled upon this video, I subscribed right away and can't wait to see all the work that you make this year. I absolutely will be filling a journal of my own, thank you for encouraging such a wonderful goal.
Thank you Mick! I am not an artist, but I enjoy watching the process and the fruit of your labors! I create in my kitchen. I love the process of trial and success. You have inspired me in so many ways! Your quest in Alaska has motivated me to buy some land this year. I also want to start a channel to teach others how to cook delicious, nutritious meals in the kitchen and over a campfire. Thank you!
I needed to hear this, thank you for the inspiration. I've been having trouble making things lately, even though it feels necessary for my mental health.
I'm all in on this amazing creative journey! I've been wanting to start a journey like this but was waiting for a community to start it with. Your channel is the exact community i needed! Can't wait to see more, love your work 🙂
Thank you mick. I love art. The year I graduated from highschool I made many wooden sculptures and awesome things, painting, but yeah, life gets in the way. Happy new year, and thank you again.
This video popped up for me today, and I'm so glad! Loved hearing your thoughts. I've already got a little project going for the month of January. May shift gears for the next month, but will play it by ear just for the fun of it.
Your passion for creating is contagious ❤ This is the first video of yours I've watched, and I thank you for doing this. I've a lot of goals and dreams as well, and I hope I can act on them consistently this year. Best wishes to both of us, and to everyone else on their similar journey!
I love the watercolors you’re doing, and it would be amazing to see more! It would be really cool to see you try to mesh two concepts together(two animals, an animal and an object, an object and a word, etc.). I’ve done similar exercises before and it really helped sparked my creativity, especially when I had the goal of just creating and not necessarily making something perfect.
I love your painting....birds, fish and flowers are so much fun...the colors are so unending and freeing as an artist. You just go with it and how it makes you feel... I'll be joining you whenever you get a chance to post! Loving your content and storytelling. 🥰❤️
This spoke to me so much, it’s 12 pm and I just took a pencil and drew something, so now my day feels complete. Thank you for the inspiration. Looking forward to see how you complete these pages 😊
Love the fish. At the end of the year you’ll have a gorgeous book. Even if some days you may not love what you paint, thats a good day spent arting regardless. Love that. :)
.. sometimes my suggestions feed throws me a gem & this is one of those times 👌. Pleased to 'meet' you Mick, as a watercolourist myself watching you work is lovely .. even with bent brushes! 😋 I very much look forward to travelling along with you on your creative journey darling x
You sound like me! I do the same. I clicked because of your awesome fish painting here. I would totally buy a small print of that!!! I think it’s gorgeous! I was chuckling over your brush…. It looks like mine. 😊 Subscribed and thanks for the cool intro to your gig!
Joining you on the journey of discovering art and creating things. Life ebbs and flows, passions and points of view change. Wonder is around every corner. Thanks for sharing your story.
Ahh this video is so satisfying! I was following your mom (who is awesome), when she mentioned something about you making jewelry. I noticed the rings you were wearing and knew you were a very creative artisan. I’m glad that you are dedicating a whole channel to all of your creative ventures. I love your other channel too and for me I just enjoy watching people be creative no matter what the discipline. Before I watched this video I watched someone rock hounding and taking it back to a studio and making a cab out of it. Will I ever do that? no. Did I enjoy watching the process? yes! I do now know how to rock hound so that’s cool since I live in Western North Carolina Mountains. I am an artist and I also go wherever the creative juices flow whenever I get inspiration. TH-cam is a treasure trove of amazing artists who teach. Through TH-cam, I have learned to draw, watercolor, wire wrap jewelry, work with clay in the last couple of years. I am 69, female and have also loved to acquire new talents. Couldn’t live without creativity. I have been a hairdresser, a florist, a decorator, a shop owner, a maker of all sorts of things and a metalsmith along with my latest skill sets. All great experiences and they have taught me many things. I think you would be amazing at wood carving or whittling, making knives ( forged in fire tv inspired) or any form of clay/ ceramic sculpting. Your voiceovers, background music, random nature shots are so good. I love to hear you speak. It’s exciting that you are so wise at your age and you have so many adventures ahead of you. I’m following you in that journey. This year I will continue to draw and paint, and do wire wrapped jewelry and what ever else peaks my interest so yea I’m with you Mick!
Hi there Mick, Happy New year to you and what an Artist you are, these paintings are Amazing, looking 👀 forward to seeing what else you are going to create, I’m an Artist myself and I have an Etsy shop, Art soothes the heart and is really fun , see you next video take care.X💕🏴
Just got back into creating after a mostly non creative stretch of 10-15 years. I’m 65 and I’m so glad I found you young man! You inspire me for sure! 😁
Whoa, the montage of images is like what goes on in my brain. I think I see everything, though It’s never overwhelming. It’s the fullness of life. I enjoyed your presentation. I’m a big fan of erudition. Thanks!
This is so amazing. I admire how you can use a brush so casually, ideally wow! I love how the page turned out and you really inspired me. I mean I have never seen a person that is so engaged in creating. And when you said that "You have nothing to loose, only to gain" or something these lines, it hit me. I can take out the clay and make something from it. Thank you❤
wonderful start - love your colour play. Must admit, I smiled at your brushes - you might have more fun with them - yes even more - if you cleaned themwell after using and store them brush up - they won't bend in funky ways then. Brilliant road you are on!!! good for you, good for your mind, good for your spirit!
You've really sparked something in a lot of people, it seems. Including myself. Thank you for putting your creations out into the world. I can't wait to see what you'll make!
Your thumbnail alone was so captivating and different, i'm really glad i watched! This year i'm trying different avenues of using my creativity and expanding some more on what i already know. The learning/retention process and having the right attitude are my hurdles i hope to overcome. I admire your talents and attitude and it seems like you understand content should depend on quality, not always quantity- so i'm really excited to follow and see what i learn from you. Happy 2024 🙂
So stoked for this channel! Your painting is very captivating and honestly I would be glad to just watch that. However, if you're looking for ideas, it might be interesting to see what your approach to writing is (like a breakdown). I'll certainly be taking this journey with you and it will indeed be great to know I'm not going it alone. Happy New Year fam!
I still can't get my head round you only being 18 years old so rounded and accomplished!
An old soul in a youthful body.
Wait, what...?
Definitely not his first rodeo here!
This kid gives major home schooled vibes
I have noticed that alot of people who born in 2005 and now they are 18 are so smart and creative almost every person i see in internet who is doing an amazing job is 18

@lisalorencak9724 In case you didn't know, he has another great channel called Betting on Alaska. You will really enjoy that too.
Pick up those brushes! You got this!
Yes! You’ve got this!!
Well, you’ve helped boost the motivation of this 61-year-old who just spent the Christmas holidays exploring the creative potential of oil pastels that I’ve carted around with me for 50 years with using them. Suddenly I discovered a new joyful activity and reawakened a skill that lay dormant since grade school.
Your " rambling" is more coherent than a lot of folks' carefully crafted speeches.
I'm going to learn to quilt in 2024. Let's journey together.
Happy New Year 🎉
❤️
I wanna get better at crochet
Interesting Channel and content.New subscriber 😊
The colour tones and designs of the fish are so uniquely artistic! Beautiful!
Mick, you have a gift for storytelling. Even this. Don't waste it. We're enjoying you from Alabama! Can't wait to see what you do next.
Excellent presentation, editing, narration, and paintings! Not sure what it is about the colorful fish but it's oddly fun to see them painted and come to life. Great work as always!
“i need more color in my life” i don’t think a quote from a youtube video has ever hit me so hard. the way you string your words together is so beautiful and inspiring. your artwork is also breathtaking. i can’t wait to see what else you create ♡︎
Felt that line too! So much to unpack in it
I really liked the painting Mick. Don't worry about the blank pages, appreciate the one's that have something to admire.
I have been craving this sort of inspiration. This video is SO relatable (especially when it comes to being interested in the many facets that this world has to offer). I have been struggling for the past couple of years when it comes to creativity. From drawing nearly everyday as a young adult, to never picking up a pen in MONTHS as I am nearing the age of 30.
I hope to do something creative every day with you, too. Thank you giving people like me a little spark of creativity, a sense of hope, and the feeling of not being alone in craving color in our lives.
Samee, also 29yrs old and trying to find my creative side again
Dude, you and your channel, are a little miracle in my life!
In case you didn't know, he has another great channel called Betting on Alaska. You will really enjoy that too.
rambly painting videos like these are great to paint alongside to. Even better if its a long rambly video. I like your fishies!
Thank you for the inspiration Mick. My daughter bought me a sketch book for Christmas in 2021. I just found it in a box the other day, with only three pencil drawings in it. You've given me motivation to work on more.
Maybe to supplement your income you could have prints made of your paintings and sell them. They are great!

There is so much life in what you do, keep posting. This was so lovely, like a flame that lits others.

Awesome art, Amazing goal and wonderful Channel!! Keep rocking!

Really enjoyed this one. I liked your other channel, but believe this is where your true passion is and look forward to what you share in 2024.
I subbed this is what I’ve been looking for in my entire 12 years of living this makes me happy
Like you, as an Artist the wonderment of creativity is ever present and to showcase this even to one person feels relevant. Blessings 🌱
I speak like Lemony Snicket and I love it and is the way I love to narrate my head and love hearing people speak it’s so calming and makes you actually want to listen and get up and really do smth

Enjoyed this Mick. Voice over is fine. Delighted you didn't say "Toil for your food" Just nice farewell sentence. Natural. Thank you. I am going to enjoy your journey. I'm also looking for to see you making those rings and going back to the cabin. You have been very honest. Great work. Interesting and entertaining journey.
It is incredible to see more artists strive to do more art this year. Makes me feel less alone with the journey
I think we all need more color in our lives. I am happy that you channel was suggested to me today. I look forward to watching more of you videos.
This has absolutely left me floored and inspired to make and try lots of stuff - please make more watercolour paintings and more on who you are, what you’re all about. You’re not going to mess it up - just be you. Lovely to have the TH-cam algorithm do its job and recommend a great person ❤
In case you didn't know, he has another great channel called Betting on Alaska. You will really enjoy that too.
Hello Mick...you have what it takes to not only create beautiful art, but to inspire & light that spark of creativity that that is inside all of us who love making art. I put all of my dreams of being a painter on the back burner to raise my 2 kids, etc...that was many years ago, but thankfully, that dream never left...I try to paint or draw every day. as they say, "just show up"! Can't wait to see what all you will accomplish! Peace & Love..
Absolutely beautiful! You are so gifted with a voice for storytelling. I love listening to your every word, please never stop.
Love the rings you make also! 😻
I’m absolutely in love with your opening monologue. Beautiful work
I loooove the background music, your calming voice and your honesty! Just found your channel by chance and am so much looking forward to your videos!
In case you didn't know, he has another great channel called Betting on Alaska. You will really enjoy that too.
Wow. What a challenge. I do so many things, but end up sitting here either reading or playing games on my kindle. Time to create!
I could just sit and watch you paint for hours on end! Looking forward to seeing your creations and watching you create them. Best wishes, my friend.
Funny how you say "I'm rambling" and I'm thinking "NO YOU AREN'T!" Funny, because I say this phrase a lot, and my best friend always takes exception.

Happy New Year, and your art is beautiful.😊
This was such a beautiful video. I loved listening to your ramble :")
AHHHHHH...a joy to listen to good enunciation, clear explanation, and good grammar. A rare thing nowdays. It was a pleasure to listen to you (plus your voice is very lovely). Enjoy your life.

Very insightful and motivational, thank you! Cant wait to see more of your videos
Beautiful work! 🤩 I’m also a lifelong maker, always trying new things, last year I started blacksmithing and will continue diving deeper on that this year and probably many more
You are so gifted Mick! I hope you turn your art into works that can be purchased. Maybe your own Etsey shop. I would support that for sure! So excited to watch your art journey.
Beautiful painting! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your process with us. Your precision and care are as inspiring as the color palette and lines!
You are so talented! The painting is beautiful. And you most definitely have the gift of story-telling & the perfect voice for doing so. Looking forward to more content here & on your other channel as you continue building your life in Alaska. I'm a Floridian - born & raised here - but for some reason I am so drawn to Alaska.

Thank you. Enjoyed your fish art and your commentary. Keep inspiring me!
Happy New Year Mick! So excited to see all your beautiful creations on this channel in 2024. I don’t mind voice overs either! Wishing you all the best in 2024!! ❤🙏
Yay! So excited to find your channel! I'll definitely be following along...
Very cool Mick. You haven't ceased to amaze me yet. So great for such a young man. I believe you possess and Old man's soul. Happy 2024
Just found your channel and I'm already so excited to see more! So glad TH-cam recommended this video :)
In case you didn't know, he has another great channel called Betting on Alaska. You will really enjoy that too.
Beautiful work Mick, well done. Would love to see art depicting AK lanscapes. Thank you and happy new year!
I loved this painting and would love to see more of your watercolors.
never resonated so much with someone so much about having a deep fascination with the world and such a strong desire to create by whatever means possible; art has and always will be my lifeblood. so glad to have stumbled upon this video, I subscribed right away and can't wait to see all the work that you make this year. I absolutely will be filling a journal of my own, thank you for encouraging such a wonderful goal.
Your video popped in my feed and I'm very glad, you've got beautiful style and I love the way you show your painting process. Keep going :)
Thank you Mick! I am not an artist, but I enjoy watching the process and the fruit of your labors! I create in my kitchen. I love the process of trial and success. You have inspired me in so many ways! Your quest in Alaska has motivated me to buy some land this year.

Your channel showed up on my feed this morning. I'm excited about subscribing and can't wait to follow your journey.
I needed to hear this, thank you for the inspiration. I've been having trouble making things lately, even though it feels necessary for my mental health.
Love your exploring nature..keep going🤗
I can hardly wait to see more….just found you and this really made me feel at peace today. Tysm ❤
Wow I am impressed with your thoughts, ideas, painting, goals, lovely voice, thanks!
The heck!! I always paint fanciful fish and mine don’t look this amazing. This is a gorgeous page! Gorgeous!
Love what you are saying - here for the ride 👍. Keep doing the great things 💜
I'm all in on this amazing creative journey! I've been wanting to start a journey like this but was waiting for a community to start it with. Your channel is the exact community i needed! Can't wait to see more, love your work 🙂
Thank you mick. I love art. The year I graduated from highschool I made many wooden sculptures and awesome things, painting, but yeah, life gets in the way. Happy new year, and thank you again.
I don’t even have words to go with how you made me feel in this video, all good feelings, just incredible inspired, speechless, an instant fan!
This video popped up for me today, and I'm so glad! Loved hearing your thoughts. I've already got a little project going for the month of January. May shift gears for the next month, but will play it by ear just for the fun of it.
Love the paintings and the sketch book with that leather cover! 👌
Your passion for creating is contagious ❤
This is the first video of yours I've watched, and I thank you for doing this. I've a lot of goals and dreams as well, and I hope I can act on them consistently this year.
Best wishes to both of us, and to everyone else on their similar journey!
I loved listening to what you were saying about yourself. So inspiring and also sympathetic
I love the watercolors you’re doing, and it would be amazing to see more! It would be really cool to see you try to mesh two concepts together(two animals, an animal and an object, an object and a word, etc.). I’ve done similar exercises before and it really helped sparked my creativity, especially when I had the goal of just creating and not necessarily making something perfect.
Your art is amazing and I look forward to following you on this journey.
I love your painting....birds, fish and flowers are so much fun...the colors are so unending and freeing as an artist. You just go with it and how it makes you feel... I'll be joining you whenever you get a chance to post! Loving your content and storytelling. 🥰❤️
This spoke to me so much, it’s 12 pm and I just took a pencil and drew something, so now my day feels complete. Thank you for the inspiration. Looking forward to see how you complete these pages 😊
The best video I've seen for many months, i really missed this kind of TH-cam videos, chilly wonderful relaxing video, keep doing content ❤️
Love the fish. At the end of the year you’ll have a gorgeous book. Even if some days you may not love what you paint, thats a good day spent arting regardless. Love that. :)
.. sometimes my suggestions feed throws me a gem & this is one of those times 👌.
Pleased to 'meet' you Mick, as a watercolourist myself watching you work is lovely .. even with bent brushes! 😋
I very much look forward to travelling along with you on your creative journey darling x
You sound like me! I do the same.
I clicked because of your awesome fish painting here. I would totally buy a small print of that!!! I think it’s gorgeous!
I was chuckling over your brush…. It looks like mine. 😊
Subscribed and thanks for the cool intro to your gig!
Joining you on the journey of discovering art and creating things. Life ebbs and flows, passions and points of view change. Wonder is around every corner. Thanks for sharing your story.
Loved your video, looking forward to the next one!
Ahh this video is so satisfying! I was following your mom (who is awesome), when she mentioned something about you making jewelry. I noticed the rings you were wearing and knew you were a very creative artisan. I’m glad that you are dedicating a whole channel to all of your creative ventures. I love your other channel too and for me I just enjoy watching people be creative no matter what the discipline. Before I watched this video I watched someone rock hounding and taking it back to a studio and making a cab out of it. Will I ever do that? no. Did I enjoy watching the process? yes! I do now know how to rock hound so that’s cool since I live in Western North Carolina Mountains. I am an artist and I also go wherever the creative juices flow whenever I get inspiration. TH-cam is a treasure trove of amazing artists who teach. Through TH-cam, I have learned to draw, watercolor, wire wrap jewelry, work with clay in the last couple of years. I am 69, female and have also loved to acquire new talents. Couldn’t live without creativity. I have been a hairdresser, a florist, a decorator, a shop owner, a maker of all sorts of things and a metalsmith along with my latest skill sets. All great experiences and they have taught me many things. I think you would be amazing at wood carving or whittling, making knives ( forged in fire tv inspired) or any form of clay/ ceramic sculpting.
Your voiceovers, background music, random nature shots are so good. I love to hear you speak. It’s exciting that you are so wise at your age and you have so many adventures ahead of you. I’m following you in that journey. This year I will continue to draw and paint, and do wire wrapped jewelry and what ever else peaks my interest so yea I’m with you Mick!
Just randomly came accords your channel and it’s so cool. Also great to find artists around my age! Good luck with your goals in the new year :)
Hi there Mick, Happy New year to you and what an Artist you are, these paintings are Amazing, looking 👀 forward to seeing what else you are going to create, I’m an Artist myself and I have an Etsy shop, Art soothes the heart and is really fun , see you next video take care.X💕🏴
Just got back into creating after a mostly non creative stretch of 10-15 years. I’m 65 and I’m so glad I found you young man! You inspire me for sure! 😁
Beautiful and Happy New Year.
Whoa, the montage of images is like what goes on in my brain. I think I see everything, though It’s never overwhelming. It’s the fullness of life. I enjoyed your presentation. I’m a big fan of erudition. Thanks!
Well I've stumbled on to this channel for good reason. I like what I'm hearing and I will certainly keep up with the activity. Love it!
Awww hello my new art friend. I’m looking forward to watching your videos while creating.
This is so amazing. I admire how you can use a brush so casually, ideally wow! I love how the page turned out and you really inspired me. I mean I have never seen a person that is so engaged in creating. And when you said that "You have nothing to loose, only to gain" or something these lines, it hit me. I can take out the clay and make something from it.
Thank you❤
wonderful start - love your colour play. Must admit, I smiled at your brushes - you might have more fun with them - yes even more - if you cleaned themwell after using and store them brush up - they won't bend in funky ways then. Brilliant road you are on!!! good for you, good for your mind, good for your spirit!
You've really sparked something in a lot of people, it seems. Including myself. Thank you for putting your creations out into the world. I can't wait to see what you'll make!
I just found your channel and im enamoured immediately! You're so well-spoken and your style is so pleasing and captivating!
Your thumbnail alone was so captivating and different, i'm really glad i watched!
This year i'm trying different avenues of using my creativity and expanding some more on what i already know. The learning/retention process and having the right attitude are my hurdles i hope to overcome. I admire your talents and attitude and it seems like you understand content should depend on quality, not always quantity- so i'm really excited to follow and see what i learn from you. Happy 2024 🙂
So stoked for this channel! Your painting is very captivating and honestly I would be glad to just watch that. However, if you're looking for ideas, it might be interesting to see what your approach to writing is (like a breakdown). I'll certainly be taking this journey with you and it will indeed be great to know I'm not going it alone. Happy New Year fam!
Seems like a very sane goal to me - create every day, wonder at the world, see beauty and celebrate the strange. I'm with you!
4:31 Don't ruin your brushes, my friend!!! New subscriber here. I love this video. Thank you for making this...
