Love So guess who’s slowly learning to draw days before art school. I got unnecessarily happy last night because I drew an umbrella without a reference.
I can´t draw a thing without a reference, I think 2 times in my life I maneged to do it, one is a little embarrasing but I did zeus head that I decided not to try anything else after because I wanted to keep that satisfaction of "my last attempt did good" hahahaha
Sometimes you learn more about productivity and work ethic from TH-cam videos then from your average university classes... What a strange world we live in :) Encouragement from an artist for a fellow artist. Great job Happy D.
Wonderful painting as always! The blending on the skin is absolutely beautiful. For me I’ve found that I’m more productive when a podcast or tv show is in the background, but it has to be a show that I can listen to but don’t have to look at. I’ve noticed that sitcoms seem to work well for that
The contents of your video are gold. Surprisingly, I was able to focus on the development of the painting as well as on your very helpful tips. I am a painter and a songwriter and I tend to "procrastinate" a lot. I barely finish anything. This is one quality channel subscription. Sensible woman. Congrats!
I became so enamored with watching your painting unfold that I almost missed the five secrets lol. That is beautiful work; and the tips are clearly the voice of experience. Thanks for sharing your wisdom on this subject; as it makes the difference between frustration and a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day 🤗
Those last 2 tips were great. Definitely hacks I can incorporate in my life. I've found bullet journalling in a loose manner to be far better than a regular to-do list for myself. In fact, it's cause of you that I picked bujo'ing back up. Thanks Happy.
Your painting process videos are a joy, and I've found your art advice to be overall very sound. Thank you for sharing! Quick question: what do you use for the super-vibrant pink color I've seen in your work? I'm an opera pink addict, but I've only ever seen that electric, rosey shade in watercolors until coming across your channel, and I'd love to find an oil paint that fits the bill!
thank you so much for the video! I agree that having a to do list is rlly helpful! I'm always writing down what I want to accomplish throughout the day while having breakfast, it motivates me to actually get things done instead of procrastinating and then feeling bad about myself in the evening.
totally feel the struggle of working from home - distractions galore! but creating physical barriers (e.g. distance or enclosures) can help a lot, as you say. I dont watch shows while I work anymore, but when appropriate I'll listen to a motivational / business podcast, or when I need to focus more I'll listen to one of the many instrumental lofi playlists on YT.
Thank you for making these kinds of videos. It's always relaxing to watch the progress in your painting while listening to your helpful tips :). I'm glad youtube recommended your videos to me.
I live in Washington currently and I love your paintings, inspiration and all the advice that you give ✨ do you ever have a little art show to meet other artists? Or somewhere you post up to show your art? I would love to meet and see your art in real life.
Absolutely beautiful 😍😍 I've been a fan for years❤️ and whenever I feel so unmotivated I'd always hop on your channel and watch your videos..and at the very end I'm really inspired to start drawing again❤️💕
Your work inspires me so much! I make oil painting videos because you gave me the courage to share my work. I love hearing your thoughts and process thank you for all of your hard work
Lol that slight “pop pop pop” when the video clips popped on screen woke up my dog. He ran circles around the coffee table like “Wtf is that?? I *kill* it!!”
Secret to a good work ethic? Don't make bad life choices, so you don't end up getting stuck in a job, that you don't enjoy. Oil paint is incredible. I love the way you layer the colors.
I like songs to sing, I still didn´t find the courage but I am crazy to make fun of myself and let a piece of me singing (badly) hahah I need lists for everything, I can´t see a little thing that can´t be done that I start doing then I am with 10 things started and none finished.
Physically remove all distractions, that would mean I have to kick my two adorable cats out of the room when I paint because I can’t help but want to hug and squeeze them 😩
i have a list of podcast motivation aswell! we should all share these!?! Check out Naval Ravikant, and Jorden Perterson! (off the top of my head) can someone share a name back to me? someone you love listening to while working and find they inspire you with their words
I like how you make videos in the past than today.. the previews video your uploading now is super perfectionist and i feel boring and lose interest.. the joyfulness in your voice was gone and how you speak on voice over seems so perfectionist. Its educational but its like ur teacher in the school giving some lesson in a boring way. I feel like ur so far and the closeness I felt in ur older video with the viewers was really gone. I hope you will bring it back. :'( its like ur just reading your notes while speaking..
i love all your videos but the pop noises got to be distracting. you have premium content, i just got sad to hear the gimmicky pop noise. my opinion though.
Love

You got into art school without being able to draw??
I can´t draw a thing without a reference, I think 2 times in my life I maneged to do it, one is a little embarrasing but I did zeus head that I decided not to try anything else after because I wanted to keep that satisfaction of "my last attempt did good" hahahaha
Emiliapocalypse I draw abstractly, I almost never draw people or objects

Ps: Those who feel addicted to TH-cam... Take a look at 'FocusMe' it helped me a lot... :)
Anytime I need any sort of motivation, I just go straight to happy d artist. This is literally my therapy.
Same
1) make a to do list
2) tackle easy tasks first
3) get rid of distractions
4) surround yourself with a productive Playlist
5) Give yourself breaks

I like to listen to your videos while I paint ♡ your voice and the way you talk about motivation makes me feel like I can master anything!

You inspire me so much. I can't even tell.
Thank you soooo much.
You're incredible and I love your art ♡♡♡♡♡♡

I love the concept of the flowers on the fish! Beautiful!

Hey Happy! Are you using a fluffy brush to blend skin tones sometimes? Have you found new brushes you like?
Thank you So Much, Happy D!!
Your work inspires me so much! I make oil painting videos because you gave me the courage to share my work. I love hearing your thoughts and process thank you for all of your hard work
Great video and information...
Where do you get your frames? They all look so lovely.
Lol with my adhd your methods would overwhelm me 😝

Lol that slight “pop pop pop” when the video clips popped on screen woke up my dog. He ran circles around the coffee table like “Wtf is that?? I *kill* it!!”

Oil paint is incredible. I love the way you layer the colors.
Hey...what's board called on which you are painting?
This painting is already posted on google earlier by you ....i m right ....👌👌👌
Now all I need is skills
I would love to see you paint in a acrylic
I needed to watch this today. I have a deadline and executive dysfunction is running rampant.
It sounded like a speech .... Your random voiceovers were very soothing and calming
it's crazy to see how much you have changed
She’s absolutely stunning..you have come a long way from the one you painted previously..I know you don’t notice,but your fans can see 😀
this would be so helpful if i didn’t procrastinate doing any of these tips
❤️❤️✨
Wow amazing ❤️💐
🙋🏻♂️🔔🤝👌
I like songs to sing, I still didn´t find the courage but I am crazy to make fun of myself and let a piece of me singing (badly) hahah I need lists for everything, I can´t see a little thing that can´t be done that I start doing then I am with 10 things started and none finished.
I’m wondering why the paint doesn’t blend when you put color over color !
Physically remove all distractions, that would mean I have to kick my two adorable cats out of the room when I paint because I can’t help but want to hug and squeeze them 😩
I love you
❤️
Yasssss who’s your favorite drag queen 💅
i have a list of podcast motivation aswell! we should all share these!?!
Check out Naval Ravikant, and Jorden Perterson! (off the top of my head)
can someone share a name back to me? someone you love listening to while working and find they inspire you with their words
Why does she have fish on her?
Miss thing like drag race yes mama
