Happy Friday, friends!
As we continue in the month of January & the newness of a new year, I wanted to take some time and chat about something I have been working on in my own life both personally and in regards to my art journey. Fear plays a big role in how I approach life in general and it is something I want to change how I react to it. The book 'My Friend Fear - Finding Magic in the Unknown' by Meera Lee Patel has been a transformative book for me in this area and I wanted to share some thoughts I have been working through lately. I also recently discovered the lovely artist @ema_malyauka on instagram and have started her course, Sketchbook Techniques for Children's Illustration on Domestika! Her fearlessness when it comes to sketchbooks is so incredibly inspiring and has really helped me get started on this journey of embracing fear and jumping into my sketchbooks! I hope you will enjoy and join me in befriending fear & stepping into the known to find the magic waiting for us. ✨

a really great mentor of mine said FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. That has helped me to move into things with a bit more courage.

Oh that is really good. Wow. Thank you for sharing!!

You are a great inspiration! ❤✨ My word of 2023 is ‘ready’ and like you I want to be braver and don’t have fear hold me back. I hope the new year brings everything you wish for and you’ll reach to the stars.. you are already inspiring so many of us, more than 23k!!! 😮 Thank you for your beautiful art, videos and sharing these important thoughts!! 🙏

I had to re-watch this video when I got home from doing errands. You certainly inspire others by not only sharing your life/talent but for sharing encouraging words/ beautiful poetry. I am a great admirer of anyone who can create art as well as write poetry. I love your new decorated sketch book and how you are experimenting with different mediums. The bird and flowers have that three dimensional look with the different textures. It really is beautiful. I did look at the book your recommended today at Powells. It really is a lovely book. I did not buy it but got some wonderful inspiration from just looking at the quotes. Thank you for the recommendation. Fear is something we all have to deal with in some form or another. For me it is driving alone to new places way outside my area to be in nature. I won't go into the reason why here but I intend to push myself to do it. Wishing you a wonderful weekend Randi. Exciting you are taking a new art class! You are so talented my friend so please never doubt yourself. Shine on. Love and Light.

Thank you so much, Suzanne! Your time and intention into this comment means so much, and I cherish your encouraging words! ✨

May I ask what paints those are?

@gracemccartin194 Год назад

Very thought provoking, very meaningful and so true that fear will always be a factor in a human’s life. When fear enters my heart, it takes a few moments but I realize that God will get me through this new situation. He is so faithful to us even when we are not faithful ourselves. I love your imperfect sketchbook (it looks pretty good to me) 🥰

@evelynlozada3875 Год назад

Thank you Randi for this beautiful, awe-inspiring video and sharing some solid words. You gave me a new perspective, one I will incorporate into my own life. Your artwork is beyond amazing, may you continue your path both artistic and personal with grace, strength, courage, resilience, and beauty. May we all befriend our fears 🙂

You might appreciate a book I found back in about 1994. It's titled "Art and Fear." I really thought it had some good ideas. Well, I loaned it out and it wasn't returned. I've thought about trying to get it back, but perhaps this artist friend of mine needed that book. Maybe even more than I did. Anyway, just thought I would tell you there is such a book :) Amazon has it in several forms.

@LB-rc3nt Год назад

I'd love for you to 'consider', "Embracing your flaws instead".."Every living thing has them!!" (There are 365 "fear NOTs" in God's Word..One for each day of the year!! :>).."For God has not given us the spirit of fear,.. but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.." (2 Timothy 1:7) ..And, "We've been amazingly and wonderfully made", by God's very own hand of love!! Divinely designed, and destined to offer, the 'gifting of just being us'!! For nobody else can ever be that;..That,"One and only YOU!!" ..So relax and enjoy the journey, dear heart..Your "flaws are just part of your Human-ness" ..and all, of the essence," of just 'being you!!' As, I stated above;.. just, "Embrace your flaws'..as, each living thing surely has them!!" And breathe deep, and BE FREE,..TO 'CREATE' FROM THE ESSENCE, ..OF BEAUTIFULLY BEING YOU!! :>) ..

If life watching a class room then class mates , can not pick the class mates but mutual respect. Liking, feeling both sides believe beautiful become friendship. May we unseen unknown persons have kind of connection. But if someone already engaged then need more verified vacancy. Otherwise waste of 🕙 ? Thanks. Hobbies, interest. .

I’ve been away for a bit and am catching up on all I missed. Don’t know if you’ll see my comments, but I’ll toss them out there anyway. 🙃 Since you like children’s books I’ll mention 3 from that fit your message. Kobi Yamada (author) and Mae Besom (illustrator). What do you do with a problem What do you do with an idea

@evangelinepoe8952 Год назад

@VictoriaPichel Год назад

this video has opened my eyes a lot... helped me see ways to use all those art supplies I've been buying lately but never used for fear, or the lack on inspiration, ideas, etc. I've never been good at drawing or painting, as in never know what to do with the stuff. I just think I'm not good enough, I don't know what to paint or draw... but the mix media you used in those illustrations really inspired me :) thank you.

@RandiLynnReed Год назад

I am so glad it was insightful! ✨

@yvetteblonk4505 Год назад

Today I had some bad news. As an (inspiring) artist this news will challenge my future. I saw this news coming from miles away. And for a while, I was desperate. Seeing dreams disappear in thin air. But this is all fear like you guys are saying, Just keeping up the courage to keep dreaming, making art. Even if no one sees or gets it. I'm still an artist. I saw you with your sketchbook working so freely. I haven't made art like that sinds childhood. This will be my new goal. Finding back my fearless art. Thank you with all my heart ♡

@RandiLynnReed Год назад

Aw I am so sorry to hear you've had a set back.. but yes, don't let it tear you down! Your dreams are worth pursing and I see your courage and bravery to move forward! Let's celebrate that! ✨ I hope doors begin to open for you this year!

@hercozyera Год назад

In 2022 I decided to let my bullet journal be a place to capture my thoughts, feelings, draw. I told myself I’d rather capture 50% of the year than 0% so I didn’t beat myself up or abandon if I missed some time + I was actually super consistent once I gave myself this permission + flexibility. I did skip an entire month when I was having an exceptionally hard time but other than that most of my year is captured and I’m so grateful! Excited to keep up with your journey 🥰✨📖

Well said. Putting yourself on the internet is super scary and one stupid comment can stick with you forever. Thanks for being brave and sharing even though you have fears. You make this little corner on the internet so much more beautiful because you took a leap and shared 💕 I hope this year you succeed in your goals.

I wonder why so many have their background music so loud one can’t hear their voice properly? Isn’t background music supposed to be that - in the background? Besides this I guess this could have been a beautiful video to watch (according to all your wonderful feedback comments)💕

@RandiLynnReed Год назад

Thanks for letting me know! It is actually a lot more complicated than people think in the editing process to nail it down perfectly, as it can sound differently from one persons device to another. I will continue to try to perfect it, but I probably won't be able to please everyone. There is also auto-generated Closed Captions which can be an option if one would like subtitles.

When we face our fear, courage takes its place. Behind fear there is courage. These two books help me work through fear and see it for what it was, "Awareness" and "Fear" by Osho. His writings help me when I needed to overcome anxiety, panic attacks and fear. I realized now how fear, insecurities held me back for many years. I hope you continue growing and making beautiful art. Thank you for your video.

@elkahmae1283 Год назад

What is ‘ to be a better artist’? If one is an artist at all, then better only comes from deep within. If one thinks it has to do with the work itself, then its called, trying to impress others with a talent. One needs to flow with spiritual freedom for the self, not others.

@RandiLynnReed Год назад

I love this perspective, thank you for sharing!

@emeraldheartedgirl Год назад

Remember Randi…..when you face you’re fear, you take away its power. I have no doubt that one day I will be adding your beautifully illustrated children’s books to my collection, and see them on the shelves at my favorite book store. You’re work is beautiful and unique, just like you. The mistakes we make help us to learn and guide us to the better part of ourselves. Many blessings to you and your family in this new year.🙏🏻☺️
