Loneliness improved my Art and Mindset 🌱 Forest Visit + Paint with me ✨ Cozy Art Vlog

15 minutes of therapy.

As a film student and enthusiast, I have to say this makes me almost emotional. Beautiful camera work, perfect soundtrack and even better content. I don’t have words to describe my feelings properly, but this is one of the most stunning YouTube videos I’ve ever watched. Incredible!

people think i'm weird for love being alone but being alone is so relaxing to me

Love your attitude. Covid has taught us to learn how to be alone and the trick is to not BE LONELY. I too like to paint, sew, make jewelry, craft... there are so many things in life we can do on our own - it's very fulfilling to watch your videos! Thank You!

i'm literally so IN LOVE. i've always wanted to live a pure life. just nature, art and me. and i can say that this video right here is what i want. this is impossible to explain, but i'm feeling happy.

I literally painted myself into a depression the other day because I'd become so focused on perfection thinking about seeing my piece in someone's home or sitting on someone's desk. I haven't painted since because it makes me anxious when I look at my supplies. But when you said how important it was the enjoy the process, it was so healing to me. Honestly, the entired video has been very healing for me.... Thank you.

This video came upon me by accident but I think it was purely intentional in a divine sense. I know I can't be the only one out in this world dealing with anxiety and depression all the while trying to find my purpose in life again and to live happy. The part about enjoying the process has been hard for me with anxiety and I just want the end result but I know the work has to be done to get there. This was really inspirational for me and I will try to enjoy just doing what I like to do instead of rushing to the end. I've found already my process is messy and not what I envisioned. Thank you.

I found so much love being alone. Of course, It took long years for me to be able to go through the depression haze and find myself, but I feel as though I finally did. I'm not afraid of people anymore, I love spending time with my cats, with my mom, even with my dad. Studying is something that gives me joy because it makes me remember how hard I tried to be able to be here studying what I love, and I feel grateful for myself. It isn't easier than before, but it definitely hurts less. For the first time in my life, I have happiness in peace, I'm fine.

art isn’t meant to be perfect, it’s meant to express emotions ❤️ love this video

I love art, I remember back when I am still a student I do sketching and paintings. It really calms and explores my imagination. Watching your video give me encouragement to paint again. I like the ambience and your paintings. Thanks

This is the most uncomfortable I've been watching a video on art in a while. Because what was said was so true and pointed directly to some problems that I've been having myself. I've been creating for the wrong reasons. I've been looking a ton to others instead of creating. I've been doing literally anything but making art and then kicking myself because my "goals" aren't being met. The sight of seeing others do well is such a distraction to my own growth and it was hard hearing the beginning of this video and kind of having my own issues mirrored in someone else. Your work is beautiful and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I've got...a lot of thinking to do after this.

I have had a love affair with youtube for like a decade now and it is very rare that I feel the need to comment on videos but I wanted to from the very depths of my heart thank you for this video. I have been going through a period where the world feels overwhelming and confusing and in hopes of finding refuge, I've begun to allow myself to lean into my passion for art. I randomly stumbled upon your video and I am so glad that I did. Your energy was so healing in making me feel understood and seen, the advice was so fitting, the music, the colors, everything! Thank you SO much for your vulnerability and authenticity and I hope you know you really shifted my energy today! It was like a perfect hug for my soul.

I started my art journey last month, complete new to drawing and painting, last week i started my first painting (Copy of Otto Mueller, Liebespaar) and yesterday me and my girlfriend seperated. Your Video is giving me hope that i can heal and that i can take this event to dive further into art and into myself. Thanks for the Video.

I like this new style of art vlogging that includes voiceover with self reflection, both art related thoughts and personal thoughts. I admire how considerate you are to take the extra effort to complete the frame at your school instead of creating extra noise at home. I am sure others have not been as considerate to you but it really speaks to the level of your character to be considerate regardless.

i have been dealing with anxiety for years now and I only found out in the pandemic with how bad it was. and I have been praying to god for a sign because I have been feeling so lost again. and then I found this video and I think this is it. a reminder to myself to just be true to myself and enjoy the process of being myself. i didn't have to be anyone else but myself. and I think this message is often told to us but actually seeing it in someone else is beautiful. thank you valerie lin.

You are so graceful, when you paint it reminds me of when someone is playing piano or orchestrating a concert, it's like you have a rhythm to it and are dancing with the brushes. Your videos are so beautiful and bring me so much joy and inspiration!

Valerie is my motivation to grow as an artist

I don’t think I’ve ever been so inspired by an artist, I’d love to see more of your work 💕

First of all, the way you handle the art supplies so gently is so touching. I can see your love and passion for art at just how you handle and talk about your paintings. It is very inspiring! ❤

For someone who spend much time alone this video was so inspirational to see, the way you spent your time doing what you love it has inspired me to paint I love what you can learn from painting thank you
