If you had any similar feelings like mine, I would love to hear your experiences and how you dealt with it ☺ Shop my art here: www.dhanishasartstudio.com/shop/p/etrelibre
I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone in your feelings. I think many of us have gone through similar feelings often. I often struggle with comparison and imposter syndrome. When I start feeling that way, I try and remember I don't need to be like anyone else, I just need to be me. No one can produce the same art or be the same as me, so I try to be the best version of myself and not worry about looking like anyone else. 💜 I wish I could afford to buy some of your art and will definitely try to soon!
Thank you! This means so much to me and yes I need to remember that it’s okay to be just me and stop comparing myself. Let’s be the best version of ourselves! ❤️
I definitely understand how demoralizing a slow start can feel after so much build up in your mind. But I hope you know art and the act of creating art has intrinsic value - it’s so much more important and meaningful than sales. I love that even though you’re down you turn to your art and look, you made something beautiful! I love this painting and I see you improving with each new piece, week by week. Keep painting girl. The sales will come, the success too, but at the end of the day you’re an artist because you make art not because you sell it. ❤
Thank you so much! I needed to hear this 🥹❤️ I love painting so much and I need to remind myself that my worth is not based on sales - your last sentence might have become my new mantra 🫶
@@daisydanyart it’s something I have to remind myself of constantly, I’ve recently restarted my art journey after years of no inspiration. But we got this!
14:01 I feel similarly about the weather. I love cloudy, gloomy, rainy weather! However, I don’t want to go outside. 🚫 Then this week, I noticed how happy I get when the sun comes out. That’s when I want to get out the house. I don’t quite get it. 🤔
I lived in Portland, OR last year. It was cold and rainy everyday, I never went outside, I was sad and didn’t paint at all. Weather def affects my mood too. I’m glad you power your way thru your paintings, it means you have passion. This one is really pretty, I love the clouds the most. 😊
Thank you! The rain can definitely affect us! I hope that you are able to go out a bit more now and fight through the gloom like I’ve been trying to do. Sending warm hugs from your neighboring PNW state 🌲🌧️🌲
Thank you again for this amazing video, the painting turned out absolutely gorgeous, as usual! I just wanted to thank you for being so open and I hope you feel this as your own safe space, so you can be yourself with all your lights and shadows. Just try not to lisen to that inner voice that get you doubting yourself, because you're more than numbers and those who follow you appreciate you and your art so much💜🦭
Thank you so much Tammy! 🥹 your comment every week makes me so happy! I will keeping making art and become more open about how I feel 🌷 thanks for sticking till the end! 🫶🫶
🦭 🦭 🦭 Still here girlie!! Don’t let social media eat you up! Your work is beautiful and keep going. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Your success is on its way. I’m hoping to be able to buy an art print in the future. My limited budget is a problem. LOL I love your work, your followers love it, you are a sweetheart and I’m sad that you were sad!! I’m an artist so I completely understand. Putting in work and pouring your emotions, energy and time into your artwork and for it to not sell is disappointing. Don’t give up and don’t let it stop you. Pursue your passion. Your honesty and openness is welcomed!! When I choose art to display on my walls, I like to learn about the artist behind that art! Changes how I see a piece! So it’s great to see how your content has evolved and how open you’ve become!! Your success is on the way…you’re gonna get there!!! The universe knew you needed that sunshine-take it as a sign and push forward!! You got this!! Much love from NY! ❤
Thank you thank you! 🥹🫶 I remember you in all my videos and seeing your comment always gives me such a warm feeling 💕 don’t worry about getting the art print yet as I totally understand! I’m realizing that my worth as an artist is not dependent on the sales but more of my creation of the art itself - thank you again for such kind words! I will definitely keep creating - there’s no stopping now! 💪
I love your honest account of how things really are for artists. It’s not easy, especially when we compare ourselves to others. . Converting art, social media and making videos into sales is really hard and a slow process. It can be demoralising, but just remember the joy you bring into other’s lives. You are doing your bit to raise the happiness vibes on the planet. Keep going. 🙏💜
Thanks for sharing how you feel.. It’s not easy task to put yourself out there but remember that you’re doing an amazing job and never give up! You will be rewarded for all your efforts ❤
@@daisydanyartyeah I always love ur videos ❤like really fast when I see u upload!😊 also u must try painting the landscape of your home! Or a park 12:33
Hey there! I can totally relate with how you're feeling -- about the weather affecting your mood, etc. We have a lot in common actually, I'm also an engineer trying to sell paintings online. I only do watercolor, though. And also, it's been quite gloomy recently on this part of the planet where I live (South of France). I have the same struggles as you have. Thanks for making me feel less alone watching this video. Good luck with your business and your channel. 💖
Thank you! 😊 as engineers but artists at heart it’s can be very hard to find our place here (sometimes it seems like we can’t fit in the engineering world nor in the art world) and we end up stranded but I’m still glad to see you trying and I’m also trying! All the best on your art as well! Hope the sun finally comes through in South of France soon! ⛅️
8:35 Oh sweetie, this is a feeling I know all too well. I'm in the process of editing my first proper traditional art video. And this is a major concern for me. So I'm doing everything I can to keep myself out of frame. :)
Yes sometimes I just want to paint and not have to make myself presentable. I have to constantly remember not to get too much in front of the camera but I hope I can get more comfortable in the future! And also all the best for the editing process ☺️
Yk what you have been an inspiration for me for the past 1 year... sometimes i used to think that why am i not good as you but recently i have realized everyone has 2 sides. Its not perfect beside social media. Dont force yourself and take a break if you want.... and i love your byeee at the end 😭
Thank you! 😊 yes I realized I tend to portray only the best part online but at times it’s okay for me to show you the others parts as well - thanks for always supporting me 🥰
I would love to order art prints from you but I live in Europe (like probably many of your viewers?). Anyway your art is beautiful and I get your feelings, like this is me 100% 😅 Just keep on going, hydrate, dont forget to go out and enjoy the sun ❤
Thank you so much 😊 this means a lot to me! I think I’ll open an Etsy shop as well to manage international orders and announce in my future videos when it’s live!
Thank you! 🥰 since childhood I’ve always enjoyed being in nature. I used to have trouble speaking to big groups of people and found out that I thrive best in nature as it calms me and soothes my soul in a way no one can. So whenever I can’t travel to somewhere in nature I love to bring it with me through my paintings. As I paint, I lose myself in the landscape and it gives me the same feelings of being there in that place. In that moment I get to relax and be truly me so I always go back to painting landscapes most of the time to capture that feeling again and again.
Hey first of all you're doing great and I am proud of you. And I understand how it feels when we are excited about something but do not get the expected results. I'm not a good advisor about business stuff but I would say just hang in there and continue doing what you love. Being positive and having patience is the key here. Don't let unwanted thoughts get to you. Just think about how many people you inspire with your work including me! I know you'll business will do wonders one day. And this is for you - 🦭🦭🦭 ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️ Yes I need to remember that people enjoy my art and sales don’t have to define my worth as an artist! And thanks for staying till the end 🥺🫶
Hi! I used the canon m50 camera: amzn.to/3If8r64 for the inside videos and then iPhone 14 for outside recording. I also link the lens I used in my Amazon storefront in my description 😊
Normally, I don't do emojis, but hey! 🦭🦭🦭 I wish I could come up with words of wisdom for this business insecurity you're feeling while you getting things going, but getting people to buy stuff from me isn't really my forte. I'm sure your paying audience will come to you, perhaps a little at a time at first. Are you planning to offer prints of your paintings, because that's what I would more readily invest in for my home. Getting outside seemed to do wonders for your perspective for figuring out your foreground, and the painting turned out great!
Thank you for sticking until the end! 🫶 I appreciate the encouraging words and I see you coming back to my videos every week and this means so much to me! And yes I do have art prints! They are all listed in my website: www.dhanishasartstudio.com/
