We are all in disbelief here, it truly doesn’t make sense. I joined the Paint and Sip craze in 2013, and in mid 2017 wanted to learn to paint at home. Did my google search for sunflower acrylic paintings, found the Art Sherpa right away for her Van Gogh Sunflowers, became obsessed with watching all her videos on learning to paint. Learned way more than I ever did than going to a P & S. A month later, found her mom Ginger Cook and Angela Anderson. I soon found you. I now have closets filled with supplies, canvases and my own art studio in my spare bedroom. Cinnamon literally changed my life. Heaven has gained an art angel, 👼 RIP dear Art Sherpa 💕you were truly one of a kind, the kindest person I’ve ever known who cared so much about others. 🙏
@@thefrugalcrafter I have ocassionally talked with cinnamon in the past super kind and helpful such a sad time. I hope we all remember her as the shining light of art on TH-cam
Been following her since the beginning, even met her and her Family, Everyone lovely things people are saying are so true, Started with P and S decided I could do this at home, found Angela Anderson Ginger and you I'm so sad for Her Family and all of us Cinnamon was the BRIGHTEST LIGHT ❤❤❤
I love the idea of her painting with Bob Ross! Thank you. Count me among the people are better because she lived. This has been the toughest year. I lost my mom just a couple of weeks ago and then this. I'm ready for 2024 to be behind us.
My prayers go out to you also. Losing my daddy on December 1, 2020 to cancer just about sucked the joy for that holiday season from me. I refused to let it to because he told me not to cry for him, but rejoice because he was finally Home.
I found Cinnamon 10 yrs ago she taught me all about acrylics while you Lindsay taught me Watercolors . I hope that her channel will continue as I still have so many paintings to paint. She will be greatly missed I hope that we can still refer and watch her videos and that in some way it can help her family. I consider Cinnamon and you the best of the best in providing content for everyone and staying true to your original platform and commitment to helping everyone learn to paint. I will look for Cinnamon's skies every morrning , thank you Cinnamon for all you taught me. Lindsay hugs , and thank you for all you do.
One of Cinnamon’s tutorials was recommended to me early in my crafting journey. Not long after, she was on a video with Maymay and Vinnie. I went to Maymay’s first grand opening on my birthday and when I met Maymay, she told me I resembled her friend Cinnamon. I thought Cinnamon was beautiful and that comment has stayed with me through the years. I then met her at a Pinner’s Conference and was able to get a hug. Cinnamon gave me the courage to try painting, and her tutorials helped me get through my mother’s passing and my grandson’s stillbirth. She was love, and gave it so freely. I haven’t painted in a while, life has a way of getting in the way. The next time I’m at the easel, wishes for her family will be included.
I have no words for the news about Cinnamon. It came out of nowhere, and even though I haven't watched her channel in a long time, I had such immense respect and joy for her purpose. It's a very surreal thought that I'll no longer be able to go "I wonder if Cinnamon has a tutorial for this?" and look at her channel. So instead, I want to end on a cheerful art note, because I think that's what'd make her happy anyway. You brought up oak tag (however it's spelled), and that brought back the biggest nostalgia trip. When I was in single digits, my dad brought home this big box of paper from his office, and oak tag turned out to be my absolute favorite from that bunch. I used it for EVERYTHING, including 4 "life size" drawings of the Beatles, which was actually comprised of several sheets all taped together and cut out. I had my mom hang them on my wall, and I was so proud of them! So yeah, that type of paper will always hold a fond memory in my heart.
Thanks for the Sketches.n.Scrubs video discussion. She would be n excellent podcast guest to have his discussion. I was shocked to learn ow companie have acted. It's good thahe (and hopefully others) set boundaries and stand up for themselves. Your tribute to Cinnamon / Art Sherpa is an example of how much she was loved. Thank you. I wish you can enjoy a restful weekend and a less trying upcoming week
Yes, please do a podcast with Sketches and Scrubs. I totally agree with you about being paid for a review. Reviews done by brand ambassadors aren't worth my time. My sympathy to the art community on the loss of art Sherpa.
I was so sad to hear about Cinnamon. The TH-cam art community will not be the same without her. My heart goes out to her family and the community that she touched so deeply.
I didn't know this artist, but sorry for the loss of your friend. It is always sad especially at Christmas. My sympathies to you, her family and friends.
I am in tears! I have an acrylic painting on our wall with a heart on it that I learned from one of Cinnamons tutorials it will remain on my wall, Cinnamon was kind, generous and funny, she will definitely be missed in my world Rest in Paradise Cinnamon ❤
It never makes sense. We are all here for a finite amount of time. Human beings' biggest lesson is to learn to love people while they are here. I just found out I have cancer. I have always been 100% healthy. I struggle to understand why. Prayers, peace, and good energy to Cinnamon and her family.
You're absolutely right, it doesn't make sense. I stumbled onto Cinnamon's videos back in 2016 when I discovered that painting was a way to save my sanity and bring peace to my spirit. It was actually because of her that I found your channel. In a world where social media can often be toxic, negative, and mean, she created a space (and community) of kindness, acceptance, and beauty. Even though I didn't know her personally, I will feel her absence deeply. The gift she shared with the world is invaluable. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and community.
I found you thru her and all the people she connected with. That micro community. I have been waiting to hear what you would say. I have had tears on and off. She brought light when it was dark. She taught us that yes we can paint and be who we are no matter what. She brought love and light into the world and wore her feels on her shoulders. I remember when she got so upset about Bob Ross and his birthday and I really did not know who he was but the curly haired painter with happy little trees. Until I watched a full episode and understood. Cinnamon is MY bob Ross. Lindsay you are my Saturday Chat Chat when I am getting ready to do my morning hair clients. You are my go to to watch water colors and all the other things. Cinnamon has left a legacy. A community. And I bet she is riding horses, Painting all the things and hanging with Bob. In case you did not know you are also a hero to us in this art community. Thanks for the Out loud words. Happy Crafting, Be Kind to yourself......
It’s been a rough year. I lost a dear friend unexpectedly on Nov 22nd. He was 62. He went into the hospital because of 2 compressed discs got an infection and passed within a week. Life is fragile. I think Julia Childs said it best, everything in moderation. You can live the healthiest life and be killed by a drunk driver or even some masonry falling off a building. Just live and enjoy the time you have with those who love and appreciate you.
I’ve been a student of Cinnamon’s for about eight years and I found you through her. Honestly, I have been in a state of shock since I heard the news. She was a brilliant light in an often too dark world. Like you, I can’t make sense of it in any way. My heart breaks for John, the children, and Ginger. ❤
I'm still in shock and heartbroken over Cinnamon's passing. I read about it in Marty Owing's post on Thursday. Earlier that day, someone had hit and killed one of the squirrels that visit my balcony, and then hearing about Cinnamon just shattered my heart. I also watched S&S's video, which was upsetting. All of it just made me want to cocoon and retreat. Big hugs. 💗
Lindsay, I am beyond shocked, as you are, to hear the sad news about Cinnamon. When I started painting watercolor years ago as grief therapy for what was going on in my life, I found you and Cinnamon and found inspiration to create. You two were my first painting teachers as I began my watercolor journey. Even though she taught mostly acrylic, I found the positivity in her videos uplifting. My heart aches for her sweet family and the youtube art community. She will be missed.
Thank you for helping us feel this profound loss. Cinnamon (such an apropos name for such a bright spark) was the first art teacher I ever found and she did exactly what you described, she helped lift me when I was in a dangerously unhealthy (physically and spiritually) place by demonstrating that working with colors could literally heal. It’s something I just intuitively picked up by watching her. I screenshotted a picture of her last summer so I could show my hairdresser how I wanted my hair-it was platinum blonde with pastel-pink in the bangs, all short but a pompadour on top. I’m glad I have that picture and I’ve looked at it often just because it’s such a perfect picture of a person that makes me so happy. I hope Cinnamon’s lovely family and all of the lovely art students and friends can feel some relief from the enormous amount of love everyone is expressing. Cinnamon seemed like a person who no one in this world could help but love. I wanted to add that I loved Cinnamon’s watercolor offerings as well, they had a really fun energy that was also very calming as watercolor’s energy combined with Cinnamon teaching-it was just really perfect.
Cinnamons passing is absolutely devastating. She gave so much of herself to so many. I wish I could take this pain away from her family. Their grief is unfathomable.💜💜💜
I was in work on Thursday and popped on Facebook during my break and found out about Cinnamon. My heart broke. You are right that she was a light. She got me back into painting after my Mother passed away. HUGS to everyone missing her right now.
I was shocked and heartbroken to hear of her passing. She was definitely a bright light in the art community and hopefully people will continue to find joy in her legacy. ❤
Hello Lindsay, I was also deeply heartbroken by the loss of Cinnamon. She was the first TH-camr I followed and she led me to your channel. She helped fuel a desire to create and she will be deeply missed.
I was also shocked to hear of Cinnamon's passing. I also lost another dear friend this past week suddenly and unexpectedly and we are still in shock over that. And my uncle passed away a few weeks ago. So many wonderful people taken from us too soon. The fabric you found is so cute. I hope you have a good weekend Lindsay.
🥺 very sad to hear about Cinnamon. I have followed her since 2016 when my husband was in palliative care. Watching her videos really helped mye with my grief. She will be missed. BTW your thoughts on Brands was thought provoking. Would love a video on that. Thank you for sharing.
Cinnamon was the first art TH-camr I followed back in 2016. It was such a big shock when I found out yesterday morning. We need more people like her, not fewer 💔
I have been in shock after seeing the post on Marty Owings page. I feel so bad for her family. I enjoyed her tutorials. I found her through you. In fact I had added a few more tutorials to try when I am off during Christmas. There’s really nothing to say. Everybody needs a stacking rainbow in their life. Thank you for your reviews and tutorials. I enjoyed the mixed media, it was refreshing. Thank you for sat chat.
I watched her video and mentioned your name as an honest broker in giving reviews. It was an eye opening video. I recommend everybody watching sketches and scrubs regarding this subject.
Cinnamon is painting with angels...an enormous loss in our art world. 2024 has shown the loss of several friends, an impossible medical diagnosis in our lives, & other friends who are in need of love & prayers. There. I said it. God bless you, Lindsay, for starting out Sat Chat with love & remembrance. Virtual hugs all 'round folks. Merry Christmas. ♥xx Fanna
I'm so sorry to her about Cinnamon. She will be greatly missed in the community. Definitely would love a Sketches.n.Scrubs podcast session and a zipper pouch tutorial!
Love the fabrics! Lindsay chill out over the Christmas period and embrace your loved ones! I have a 10 month old niece ! and this Christmas I am going to cherish (the moment) and feel blessed to have her in my life! You don't need to worry about your TH-cam content! I am not a fan of reviews (because I am not looking for supplies) but love what you do! ♥♥♥
I’m so sorry to hear this! She was an incredible woman! She really leaves a legacy for so many people! She touched so many folks. With that said, my heart is heavy for her husband and children and other people that she has touched in her life. ❤ Sincerely,, Martina
I don't remember who I started watching first years ago, but I know you and Cinnamon were in my early days. She will definitely be missed so much. Thank you for all you do and all the compassion you share.
Hi Lindsay, I don't think anyone can make any sense of death and grief, we just all have to process it in our own way. I hadn't come across Cinnamon, but it's still a loss when any artist is lost especially at such a young age and so suddenly, it pulls us all up short. Be kind to yourself, hug everyone, let's get the love out there, sending hugs to you. Thanks as always for satchat, dont be hard on yourself. ❤💐
My heart is absolutely broken as she helped me so much as an artist and friend. She helped me grow my art business and she helped me find my community! I received the news from Ginger cook through an email early morning. She was a light and still will be. Thanks for acknowledging her as a friend would do! She came and did her work and left us a gift. I will see her again at the easel. Blessings all through this shocking time! ❤❤❤
I found Cinnamon because of you. I hadn’t been as faithful to watching her the last few years due to my own health struggles and had promised myself to get through Christmas and get my art on in 2025 with your, Cinnamon’s and Lachri’s guidance. Now that promise to myself has more meaning. Thank you for bringing Lisa and Cinnamon into my life and making it so much brighter. Big hugs to everyone who is struggling with this news. Let’s honor Cinnamon with expressing ourselves through art and helping her family and others as much as we can. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I’m so sorry to hear of Cinnamon’s passing, she was truly an Earth Angel and I can only imagine that God called her home because while he gifted her to us her light was needed in Heaven….Godspeed Beloved Cinnamon, you helped this artist pull up her bootstraps and keep going after a Cancer diagnosis and I will ALWAYS be grateful & try to honour your legacy. Today, more than ever I think, a company’s Integrity ( or lack thereof ) is having a large spotlight shone on their ethics ( see prev: lack thereof ) and business practices. Thank You for your integrity Lindsay, it’s why I respect and value you! Keep the Faith, Hugs my Friend❤️🩹
Oh wow! Cinnamon was one of the first people I watched on youtube yrs and yrs ago. She taught me so, so much. Cinnamon made it possible for me to even imagine that art, painting was a possibility in my life. She was kind, encouraging, supportive, warm and loving. What a monumental loss to this world. She will be missed. Rest in the light cinnamon. I love you. ❤
I’am so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. I found her a short while ago and thought she had a kind and encouraging soul. She will be missed by this community and I send my heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends.
Omg noooooo!!!!!! I didnt know. I learned to paint with her, as sooooo many of us, without knowing it she gave me emotional support when I needed the most. Im crying my heart out. Had to take a pill cause this news gave a panic attack. Im soo so soooo sorry.... Deeply, deeply sorry.......
@@heathersdoings The clonazepan is working, so Im calmer, but is so surprising to feel so much for someone I didnt even talk to. I guess is the same for many of us. She was a part of my life, the beginning of my journey and I feel a part of me died with her. I cant imagine what her family is going through. This is heartbreaking. 😞
It was a gut punch when I read she'd passed away. She was so vibrant, talented, generous and just a joy to watch and learn from. I feel so badly for her family and those close to her. She will be sorely missed. Like you said Lindsay, she leaves a great legacy to us all.
So sorry to hear about the art Sherpa she was a wonderful art teacher hoping you are okay and ty for your channel lindsay I’m long time fan and supporter
So sorry about your friends passing,that is very young..I appreciate your honesty about products,I trust your expertise…your rainbow is on one of the fabrics ,so cute.
This truly shocked me, too. We never do know when it’s our turn. When my little brother died it was sudden,too. Even though he had special needs and had recently lost his mobility, it was such a shock that it shook me to my very core. She certainly was a shining star and I enjoyed her work because I learned a lot from her. May God comfort her family especially during this season. My father died from cancer in December 4 years ago and I think the festive season added to my grief somehow.
I saw the sketches and scrubs video. I appreciate your counterpoints. I want to do a yt channel, possibly, and I was going to show how supplies perform because that's what I like watching. I think those videos do help the consumers. Thanks!
She’s the first artist I met on TH-cam. My eldest brother is an amazingly talented artist who can work in any medium except sculpting. I showed signs of having talent "but only if I didn’t stop drawing." That was a quote from a rep who worked with artists. My brother was constantly involved in some kind of new art practice that he aced in record time. I couldn’t compete with that so I didn’t (kid-think; simplistic and all consuming). Since I didn’t keep up with it, I thought I lost my one chance to nurture a special talent. I started watching artists on TH-cam and after seeing the amazing variety of phenomenal talent, I thought I’d have to content myself with living vicariously through them. One day while flipping through the TH-cam art channels I saw a painting that took my breath away. It was Cinnamon. While I watched her demonstrate how easy it was and heard her assure us that even if we didn’t get the results we wanted in art at the beginning (and of course we wouldn’t), it was fine and we would get there. The important thing was to enjoy the process and keep on keeping on. This was huge for me. She made me believe I could paint or draw if I wanted to and put in the practice; even as an adult. I hadn’t ruined my chance by not continuing to draw as a child (I was in second grade when I got that soul crushing "advice," I think). I found out about you, Lindsey, because of Cinnamon.She had nothing but the highest praise for you. She had recommended your video on uses for glycerin in art. She recommended we check you out and follow. I knew the assignment.
Thank you for speaking words for Cinnamon Cooney, I have not yet been able to. You did great! to encourage me, once again. I also learned about you through Cinnamon, and you are also a main staple of my scrolling/learning. Art is such a peaceful place for me to be. Cinnamon and you are both brilliant shining lights for the art world. 💖
A class A SatChat it must’ve been very difficult for you. You handled it like a champ! Hearts, and Hugs to all that are hurting. Breathe out, breathe. ❤🌹
Oh my goodness, how awful. I found you and Cinnamon around the same time 10 years ago. Her gorgeous personality & beautiful coloured hats & hair were The Art Sherpa. I am so very sorry for your loss & feel for her family and all you close friends. Your tribute is very heart warming. God bless ❤xxx
I totally agree that a rep of a company can totally treat one client so nice with freebies and discounts and can totally rip another another client just because personalities clash...happens in the medical field all the time...been there done that!!!! yes very unreal of the passing of the sweet Art Sherpa...no words can ease the shock...leaves a person in dismay.....
I am so sorry about the loss of your friend….for you, for her family, and for the art community. So young. You definitely needed retail therapy, and that fabric is the best. If I could sew well, I’d have snagged it too. Penny is so funny…first she’s afraid of the storm, then escapes into the storm, and then runs away when you try to get her back in. 😂 she’s like a bad child. As for your neighbor, she probably needs retail therapy as well. What a grouch. She’s probably just jealous that Penny is a free spiri!😊 have a good week, Lindsay.
I too am in disbelief and so very sad. She was indeed a bright light and it seems unbelievable. Someone wrote that whenever we see a rainbow know that Cinnamon is painting from above. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be painting. Your words mean a lot Lindsay.
Cinnamon's death has hit a lot of people hard. I am in a grief group as I am still grieving the loss of family members. The tools I learned there really help.
After this week, a little bit of silly retail therapy is forgiven. I may have done so myself. Cinnamon is deeply loved and her immense library of work will continue to inspire the world to be a more colourful place ❤ 😔
I was very saddened to hear about Cinnamon’s passing. I learned so much about drawing and watercolor from her tutorials. She always said we could paint and gave me the confidence to try. She has left a lasting legacy and she lives on through that legacy.❤
I am so sad, Cinnamon taught both me and my grandchildren so much. She made my life so much better. Awful for the family. My heart goes out to all who knew her. 😢 Thank you for being here and talking about her
A $75 CAC screening test alerted me that I had an increased risk of having a heart attack. I had no symptoms. Losing someone is so hard. Cinnamon was a very good teacher. I am wishing you the best.
I'm really sorry to hear about Cinnamon. It's very hard to lose a friend so suddenly. My sympathies to you, and her family and friends. Yes, a podcast with Sketches'n'Scrubs would be good. It would be very interesting to hear you both discuss your experiences with the companies. I'm also wondering how the prospect of tariffs on imported products might affect the US art supplies market, too. Look after yourself and let's hope the coming week is a better one. 💙
I can't make sense of it either. I'm still in shock. When I got on YT searching for acrylic painting tutorials, she was the one I started watching first. She was so vibrant and upbeat and pixie-like cute. And she was a good teacher. What a large whole this is leaving in the art and YT world. 😥 No, Lindsay, I couldn't have passed up the zippers or the fabric... what a bargain! Oh, I'm so glad your dog is ok. TFS 💕
So sorry to hear about Cinnamon and sorry for your loss. What a lovely tribute you gave, and I am glad I got to “meet her” through your interview. Your views on advertisement and reviews are based on ethical values which is why so many trust your reviews. Love to hear more of your views or an interview on this topic. Hope you have a good upcoming week Lindsay, you certainly deserve it!

It’s hard to believe that she’s gone. Her kindness and passion will be missed.
I love that you posted that Heaven has gained an art angel, that’s the best thing I can think about this. Thank you:

I love the idea of her painting with Bob Ross! Thank you. Count me among the people are better because she lived. This has been the toughest year. I lost my mom just a couple of weeks ago and then this. I'm ready for 2024 to be behind us.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and so close to the holidays makes it so much harder. Sending you my thoughts and prayers😔🙏
She is definitely painting with Bob and all the other great artists
My prayers go out to you also. Losing my daddy on December 1, 2020 to cancer just about sucked the joy for that holiday season from me. I refused to let it to because he told me not to cry for him, but rejoice because he was finally Home.
@@Faerysong1 thank you!
@gailreineke7186 that's so sweet. We are going to celebrate too even though we don't feel like it very much. She loved Christmas.

I started my art journey due to Cinnamon's videos and enthusiasm for painting. I never thought I could paint. Changed my life.
That’s so inspiring!

I am so sorry! Please take care.

May you receive the best medical treatment and fully recover from your cancer!

What a lovely thing to tell Lindsay, I agree, Lindsay is an art teacher hero as well.

Cinnamon (such an apropos name for such a bright spark) was the first art teacher I ever found and she did exactly what you described, she helped lift me when I was in a dangerously unhealthy (physically and spiritually) place by demonstrating that working with colors could literally heal. It’s something I just intuitively picked up by watching her.
I screenshotted a picture of her last summer so I could show my hairdresser how I wanted my hair-it was platinum blonde with pastel-pink in the bangs, all short but a pompadour on top. I’m glad I have that picture and I’ve looked at it often just because it’s such a perfect picture of a person that makes me so happy.
I hope Cinnamon’s lovely family and all of the lovely art students and friends can feel some relief from the enormous amount of love everyone is expressing. Cinnamon seemed like a person who no one in this world could help but love.
I wanted to add that I loved Cinnamon’s watercolor offerings as well, they had a really fun energy that was also very calming as watercolor’s energy combined with Cinnamon teaching-it was just really perfect.
I am so glad she made such a difference in your life.
My heart goes out to her children, her family and to everyone Cinnamon’s beautiful light touched. I just can’t believe she’s gone. ❤
Cinnamons passing is absolutely devastating. She gave so much of herself to so many. I wish I could take this pain away from her family. Their grief is unfathomable.💜💜💜
I was in work on Thursday and popped on Facebook during my break and found out about Cinnamon. My heart broke. You are right that she was a light. She got me back into painting after my Mother passed away. HUGS to everyone missing her right now.
Agreed. Thank you for helping me understand that others are feeling the same way I do. She taught me so much (and will continue to).
Sending hugs 🫂
I was shocked and heartbroken to hear of her passing. She was definitely a bright light in the art community and hopefully people will continue to find joy in her legacy. ❤
Hello Lindsay, I was also deeply heartbroken by the loss of Cinnamon. She was the first TH-camr I followed and she led me to your channel. She helped fuel a desire to create and she will be deeply missed.
I was also shocked to hear of Cinnamon's passing. I also lost another dear friend this past week suddenly and unexpectedly and we are still in shock over that. And my uncle passed away a few weeks ago. So many wonderful people taken from us too soon. The fabric you found is so cute. I hope you have a good weekend Lindsay.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
🥺 very sad to hear about Cinnamon. I have followed her since 2016 when my husband was in palliative care. Watching her videos really helped mye with my grief. She will be missed. BTW your thoughts on Brands was thought provoking. Would love a video on that. Thank you for sharing.
Cinnamon was the first art TH-camr I followed back in 2016. It was such a big shock when I found out yesterday morning. We need more people like her, not fewer 💔
I have been in shock after seeing the post on Marty Owings page. I feel so bad for her family. I enjoyed her tutorials. I found her through you. In fact I had added a few more tutorials to try when I am off during Christmas. There’s really nothing to say. Everybody needs a stacking rainbow in their life. Thank you for your reviews and tutorials. I enjoyed the mixed media, it was refreshing. Thank you for sat chat.
It is a very sad loss and I hope her family finds peace.
I watched her video and mentioned your name as an honest broker in giving reviews. It was an eye opening video. I recommend everybody watching sketches and scrubs regarding this subject.
Cinnamon is painting with angels...an enormous loss in our art world. 2024 has shown the loss of several friends, an impossible medical diagnosis in our lives, & other friends who are in need of love & prayers. There. I said it. God bless you, Lindsay, for starting out Sat Chat with love & remembrance. Virtual hugs all 'round folks. Merry Christmas. ♥xx Fanna
Lindsey, you have spoken so well of Cinnamon. She will be missed by all. Keep your chin up.💓
Thank you so much, she was truly an inspiration.
I'm so sorry to her about Cinnamon. She will be greatly missed in the community. Definitely would love a Sketches.n.Scrubs podcast session and a zipper pouch tutorial!
Love the fabrics! Lindsay chill out over the Christmas period and embrace your loved ones! I have a 10 month old niece ! and this Christmas I am going to cherish (the moment) and feel blessed to have her in my life! You don't need to worry about your TH-cam content! I am not a fan of reviews (because I am not looking for supplies) but love what you do! ♥♥♥
Aww, enjoy every minute!
I’m so sorry to hear this! She was an incredible woman! She really leaves a legacy for so many people! She touched so many folks. With that said, my heart is heavy for her husband and children and other people that she has touched in her life. ❤
Sincerely,,
Martina
Oh no!! I loved the way her husband and her worked so well together ❤❤❤
It was a joy to watch them work together!
I don't remember who I started watching first years ago, but I know you and Cinnamon were in my early days. She will definitely be missed so much. Thank you for all you do and all the compassion you share.
Hi Lindsay, I don't think anyone can make any sense of death and grief, we just all have to process it in our own way. I hadn't come across Cinnamon, but it's still a loss when any artist is lost especially at such a young age and so suddenly, it pulls us all up short. Be kind to yourself, hug everyone, let's get the love out there, sending hugs to you. Thanks as always for satchat, dont be hard on yourself. ❤💐
My heart is absolutely broken as she helped me so much as an artist and friend. She helped me grow my art business and she helped me find my community! I received the news from Ginger cook through an email early morning. She was a light and still will be. Thanks for acknowledging her as a friend would do! She came and did her work and left us a gift. I will see her again at the easel. Blessings all through this shocking time! ❤❤❤
I found Cinnamon because of you. I hadn’t been as faithful to watching her the last few years due to my own health struggles and had promised myself to get through Christmas and get my art on in 2025 with your, Cinnamon’s and Lachri’s guidance. Now that promise to myself has more meaning. Thank you for bringing Lisa and Cinnamon into my life and making it so much brighter. Big hugs to everyone who is struggling with this news. Let’s honor Cinnamon with expressing ourselves through art and helping her family and others as much as we can. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
It is an honor to have helped you connect with her and so many other amazing artists.
I’m so sorry to hear of Cinnamon’s passing, she was truly an Earth Angel and I can only imagine that God called her home because while he gifted her to us her light was needed in Heaven….Godspeed Beloved Cinnamon, you helped this artist pull up her bootstraps and keep going after a Cancer diagnosis and I will ALWAYS be grateful & try to honour your legacy. Today, more than ever I think, a company’s Integrity ( or lack thereof ) is having a large spotlight shone on their ethics ( see prev: lack thereof ) and business practices. Thank You for your integrity Lindsay, it’s why I respect and value you! Keep the Faith, Hugs my Friend❤️🩹
Well said! May her videos last on TH-cam for all time.
Oh wow! Cinnamon was one of the first people I watched on youtube yrs and yrs ago. She taught me so, so much. Cinnamon made it possible for me to even imagine that art, painting was a possibility in my life. She was kind, encouraging, supportive, warm and loving. What a monumental loss to this world. She will be missed. Rest in the light cinnamon. I love you. ❤
Thanks for all of your honest , ethical reviews! Sorry for the loss of your TH-cam art colleague and friend, Cinnamon.
I’am so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. I found her a short while ago and thought she had a kind and encouraging soul. She will be missed by this community and I send my heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends.
Omg noooooo!!!!!! I didnt know. I learned to paint with her, as sooooo many of us, without knowing it she gave me emotional support when I needed the most. Im crying my heart out. Had to take a pill cause this news gave a panic attack.
Im soo so soooo sorry.... Deeply, deeply sorry.......
Hugs 🫂 It’s been really hard!
@@CianneDoodles is a nightmare.
I'm so sorry 😞
It hit me like a rock yesterday when I heard. So unexpected. I hope you are feeling ok (ish) now.
@@heathersdoings The clonazepan is working, so Im calmer, but is so surprising to feel so much for someone I didnt even talk to.
I guess is the same for many of us.
She was a part of my life, the beginning of my journey and I feel a part of me died with her. I cant imagine what her family is going through. This is heartbreaking. 😞
Yes to both! Podcast with scketches and scrubs, and a reaction to her video ❤
I saw the sketches and scrubs video and I agree with her.
It was a gut punch when I read she'd passed away. She was so vibrant, talented, generous and just a joy to watch and learn from. I feel so badly for her family and those close to her. She will be sorely missed. Like you said Lindsay, she leaves a great legacy to us all.
So sorry to hear about the art Sherpa she was a wonderful art teacher hoping you are okay and ty for your channel lindsay I’m long time fan and supporter
Also, yes please to having Sketches on for the podcast and the reaction video. I'm sure we all want to know what YT Mama Lindsay has to say :D
Thank you Lindsey. Cinnamon loved being your friend and always admired you. Sending you and all of the art community Love and Light.
That is so sweet of you to say.
I couldn't believe the news, either. It was a gut punch to lose such a wonderful teacher and person. 😢
So sorry about your friends passing,that is very young..I appreciate your honesty about products,I trust your expertise…your rainbow is on one of the fabrics ,so cute.
Thank you so much!
This truly shocked me, too. We never do know when it’s our turn. When my little brother died it was sudden,too. Even though he had special needs and had recently lost his mobility, it was such a shock that it shook me to my very core. She certainly was a shining star and I enjoyed her work because I learned a lot from her. May God comfort her family especially during this season. My father died from cancer in December 4 years ago and I think the festive season added to my grief somehow.
I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️
It makes no sense. I’m still in shock.
She was such a beautiful soul in every possible way.
I saw the sketches and scrubs video. I appreciate your counterpoints. I want to do a yt channel, possibly, and I was going to show how supplies perform because that's what I like watching. I think those videos do help the consumers. Thanks!
She’s the first artist I met on TH-cam. My eldest brother is an amazingly talented artist who can work in any medium except sculpting. I showed signs of having talent "but only if I didn’t stop drawing." That was a quote from a rep who worked with artists. My brother was constantly involved in some kind of new art practice that he aced in record time. I couldn’t compete with that so I didn’t (kid-think; simplistic and all consuming). Since I didn’t keep up with it, I thought I lost my one chance to nurture a special talent.
I started watching artists on TH-cam and after seeing the amazing variety of phenomenal talent, I thought I’d have to content myself with living vicariously through them. One day while flipping through the TH-cam art channels I saw a painting that took my breath away. It was Cinnamon. While I watched her demonstrate how easy it was and heard her assure us that even if we didn’t get the results we wanted in art at the beginning (and of course we wouldn’t), it was fine and we would get there. The important thing was to enjoy the process and keep on keeping on. This was huge for me. She made me believe I could paint or draw if I wanted to and put in the practice; even as an adult. I hadn’t ruined my chance by not continuing to draw as a child (I was in second grade when I got that soul crushing "advice," I think). I found out about you, Lindsey, because of Cinnamon.She had nothing but the highest praise for you. She had recommended your video on uses for glycerin in art. She recommended we check you out and follow. I knew the assignment.
Awww:)
Thank you for paying her homage. I expected nothing less from a lady with such grace. I loved your interview with her ❤
Big Hugs!! Yes, sensitive time for creatives… and I agree with you about Copic… not refillable, not even what their standards used to be.
Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear that. She will be missed by her friends and family as well as the TH-cam art community.
It hit me really hard. I have been devastated.
Cinnamon and you were the first artists I followed almost 4 years ago. I'm so saddened by this. Big hugs
🫂
Thank you for speaking words for Cinnamon Cooney, I have not yet been able to.
You did great! to encourage me, once again.
I also learned about you through Cinnamon, and you are also a main staple of my scrolling/learning.
Art is such a peaceful place for me to be.
Cinnamon and you are both brilliant shining lights for the art world. 💖
A class A SatChat it must’ve been very difficult for you. You handled it like a champ! Hearts, and Hugs to all that are hurting. Breathe out, breathe. ❤🌹
Thank you! It was a heavy one.
Very sad to lose Art Sherpa.
Wow. So sudden an unexpected. Cinnamon was also one of the first TH-camrs I followed . She was very inspirational.
I keep tearing up every time I think about Cinnamon 😢
Oh my goodness, how awful. I found you and Cinnamon around the same time 10 years ago. Her gorgeous personality & beautiful coloured hats & hair were The Art Sherpa. I am so very sorry for your loss & feel for her family and all you close friends. Your tribute is very heart warming. God bless ❤xxx
I totally agree that a rep of a company can totally treat one client so nice with freebies and discounts and can totally rip another another client just because personalities clash...happens in the medical field all the time...been there done that!!!! yes very unreal of the passing of the sweet Art Sherpa...no words can ease the shock...leaves a person in dismay.....
I absolutely love school stores and the like! ❤
I am so sorry about the loss of your friend….for you, for her family, and for the art community. So young. You definitely needed retail therapy, and that fabric is the best. If I could sew well, I’d have snagged it too. Penny is so funny…first she’s afraid of the storm, then escapes into the storm, and then runs away when you try to get her back in. 😂 she’s like a bad child. As for your neighbor, she probably needs retail therapy as well. What a grouch. She’s probably just jealous that Penny is a free spiri!😊 have a good week, Lindsay.
I too am in disbelief and so very sad. She was indeed a bright light and it seems unbelievable. Someone wrote that whenever we see a rainbow know that Cinnamon is painting from above. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be painting. Your words mean a lot Lindsay.
Cinnamon's death has hit a lot of people hard. I am in a grief group as I am still grieving the loss of family members. The tools I learned there really help.
I think a podcast episode with Sketches is a great idea
Oh my gosh! I'm so sad.. she was such a bright light. I'm so sad for her family. 😢
Stunned. Sending hugs to her family, friends, and all her followers. Truly lost a bright light.
I watched her for years just like you, the news is shocking prayers to her family!! 😢
So sorry to hear about Cinnamon , it’s such a difficult thing to comprehend , way to young , many prayers of comfort for her family ❤❤❤
Thank you for your honest reviews - I depend on you & appreciate your honesty & accuracy 🙏
I'm glad you find them helpful.
After this week, a little bit of silly retail therapy is forgiven. I may have done so myself. Cinnamon is deeply loved and her immense library of work will continue to inspire the world to be a more colourful place ❤
😔
I’m sorry, Lindsay😢❤️🙏🕊️
So sad, blessings to her family.❤
I was very saddened to hear about Cinnamon’s passing. I learned so much about drawing and watercolor from her tutorials. She always said we could paint and gave me the confidence to try. She has left a lasting legacy and she lives on through that legacy.❤
She really did leave a beautiful legacy.
Prayers for Cinnamon’s family and community. ❤
I am so sad, Cinnamon taught both me and my grandchildren so much. She made my life so much better. Awful for the family. My heart goes out to all who knew her. 😢 Thank you for being here and talking about her
A $75 CAC screening test alerted me that I had an increased risk of having a heart attack. I had no symptoms. Losing someone is so hard. Cinnamon was a very good teacher. I am wishing you the best.
I hope you are doing okay.
so sorry for the loss of your friend Cinnamon. prayers up for healing & comfort to her family & friends
I'm really sorry to hear about Cinnamon. It's very hard to lose a friend so suddenly. My sympathies to you, and her family and friends. Yes, a podcast with Sketches'n'Scrubs would be good. It would be very interesting to hear you both discuss your experiences with the companies. I'm also wondering how the prospect of tariffs on imported products might affect the US art supplies market, too. Look after yourself and let's hope the coming week is a better one. 💙
I can’t watch this without crying.
She and her Mom got me started. Unbelievable, can’t wrap my head around this. Does not seem real or possible. So sorry Lindsey. Beautiful tribute.
I was so sad to hear about Cinnamon. 😞💔 The world lost such a beautiful soul.
I also thought the FB announcement was fake at first. Such a shock.
I can't make sense of it either. I'm still in shock. When I got on YT searching for acrylic painting tutorials, she was the one I started watching first. She was so vibrant and upbeat and pixie-like cute. And she was a good teacher. What a large whole this is leaving in the art and YT world. 😥
No, Lindsay, I couldn't have passed up the zippers or the fabric... what a bargain!
Oh, I'm so glad your dog is ok.
TFS 💕
Thank you so much for your kind words. 💕
Thank You. We needed this
Hugs 🫂
So sorry to hear about Cinnamon and sorry for your loss. What a lovely tribute you gave, and I am glad I got to “meet her” through your interview. Your views on advertisement and reviews are based on ethical values which is why so many trust your reviews. Love to hear more of your views or an interview on this topic. Hope you have a good upcoming week Lindsay, you certainly deserve it!
So very sad. Prayers for her and her family. 🙏❤️🙏
