Why I Don't Make Art Much Anymore.

I’ve always thought of your channel as an “artist channel” rather than an “art channel.” The content I have loved the most from you has been about being an artist: trying new supplies, exploring art hacks, organizing your art stuff, learning a new artistic skill, etc. It’s about your journey and life as an artist, and you don’t have to show us your art to stay true to the heart of this channel

SO MANY RU-vidrs are either quitting or scaling way back lately. I don't think the creators are to blame, I think YT keeps moving the goalposts on what will make channels successful or even keep them sustainable as a way for creators to earn a living. Hopefully they will stop putting their creators in impossible positions before the whole thing shuts down because only AI and bots can keep up with the system they created. Take care of yourself and keep making the content that brings you joy and fulfillment. Happy New Year.

It's so true that making art for a video and for yourself are entirely different processes! One is quite meditative, the other is stressful because you have to worry about working with 30mins of camera battery, horrifically bright lights shining in your eyes and not naturally tilting the canvas etc haha! It's nice to see you're still making content after all these years, many people have burned out by now so do whatever you gotta to look out for your own mental wellbeing ❤- Steph

Happy New year, Chloe. Please don’t feel pressured to make art just for us. Do what u love! And we’ll love it.

Honestly, I come here because I enjoy your personality and while your art is fantastic, I'm here for whatever you're going to bring us

So what you're telling me is we get crochet content? (I absolutely love crocheting and this would be so fun! If it's of interest to you!) ❤

I watch your videos because I enjoy your humor, but especially your talent. As an older person (61 yrs.), I don't have the same need for quick, rapidly changing entertainment. I love to watch the whole process of art being created. Please continue to make your incredible art, but also throw in the type of videos that get you maximum views, so hopefully most of your viewers and RU-vid will be appeased But, first and foremost, put yourself first, take care of your mental and physical health above all else.

I completely agree about filming while drawing. It just feels like it takes away from the joy and spontaneity of making art. I do enjoy it but is definitely hard. I’m sure that many people would agree that we watch and support you for you, not just what you make. You’re an amazing artist and person, and I wish you the best 2024 ♥

I also want to say that I have loved when u have done the art boxes. I don’t think it’s the boxes so much as seeing you do “a page” of a sketchbook or using a prompt to jump off of. Seeing you share your creativity through things like this or “projects” on designing/ organizing your space, or just hearing you think and verbalizing your creative process. Really what we love most is your personality and openness and just being you (so yes we loved the silly skits etc too).

I think most people watch you for your personality first and foremost, then your art. So frustrating when you put your heart and soul in to a piece and you don’t get the views. Whatever you do going forward, keep being down to earth you and you won’t go far wrong ❤️xx

I watch you for your personality. The way you interact with things feels genuine and optimistic. I love art stuff, but I'd probably watch anything you put out tbh

I love the mix of content. I love to see you opening things, trying new things, and making art. I’m very eclectic in my tastes and I “rotate” my art interests as well as my videos. Love the way your channel is but you have to be happy with your content.

I loved when you painted on your wall. But don’t feel pressured to make art just for your audience… Please do what you love 💗 we will love it too!!❤❤ from Ohio

I think shorts are doing so well because of the younger generations... I myself am 30 and I'm sure 90s and older kids will much prefer longer content but kids will always outnumber us adults 😅 i can see you have such a battle going on on making everybody happy but i think most of us are here for the long haul and just genuinely want to see you happy in life and in what you do on yt ❤

You are allowed to change!! Many of my favorite channels have changed, like Van Lifers buying homes and renovating, or starting families. Your viewership is growing and changing too. I honestly enjoy your more realistic videos and would love to watch you try new things. Crochet is still art. And working on your store, and planning a wedding. Life is art!

As an artist I do enjoy seeing art videos as it's really interesting seeing how other artists work and gives me a lot of inspiration and motivation. I do enjoy all your other videos as well, though! I'd say just do whatever content you enjoy and feel passionate about

Chloe, as a fellow artist I always try to let my clients and anyone else know that you have to take care of you first. We get so overwhelmed with the day to day, or even if we have large queues of things to do that sometimes we just need to step back and just take care of ourselves. Keep your chin up! Whatever content you decide to make, be it painting, crocheting or opening cool supplies, those who are here who care about you you are, will remain here. :) I've been following your channel since pretty much the beginning and it has been fun to see all of your adventures. Art related or not. Its a new year and its time for a new you :D and I, for one, am excited to see where the year takes you!

As a long time member of the RU-vid art community, I am here for you Chloe. I know so many others are as well. I’ve witnessed this shift in art content throughout the years, and it truly breaks my heart because the art RU-vid community inspired me so much. I truly believe it’s the reason I love art. I’ve seen this happen with all my favorite RU-vid artists but at the end of the day, this is a job. You have to minimize your expenses (including expenses like stress, burn out, and your time) and maximize your profits, and that’s simply not possible making long form art content. We are here for you regardless Chloe. 💕

This is reminding me of the quote: "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind". I started following you because I thought you were funny, relatable, and someone I could see myself being friends with in real life. It sucks losing subscribers, and I understand worrying about changing your content because of that. At the end of the day, I think doing what you find happiness in will draw people to your channel because it will be genuine. If some people unsubscribe just because they don't like that "you're not doing art anymore", I think they're missing out. I'm of the belief that you subscribe to a person first and foremost. It's just nice to see a nice person having fun and being happy no matter what kind of content you decide to make :)

I feel this all so deeply. It's SO HARD to figure out what to do as an artist even without taking RU-vid into account. Honestly I like that you have a wide variety of content, so I feel like you're really doing things that seem fun to you at the time. Keep doing what strikes you as entertaining. Work on your shop. Heck, do some vids giving tips about what you learn through that process - site set up, advertising, etc. How do you decide how much of what inventory to get? I promise, whatever you put out, there's going to be somebody who loves it.

An actual book with creative prompts sounds wonderful! Hands on, actual engagement is desperately needed. RU-vid is a grind once someone has reached success, because if you are dependent on that income, you have to keep going.

I found your channel last year through “superraedizzle” and she was talking about you and then I found your channel and started watching and it helped because I was going through a hard time and watching you made me forget about things and take a breather. I love watching your videos no matter what they have to do with or how long or short they are, I am not an artist I do crafts. I just love your accent, you make me laugh and helps me get through the day when I’m having a rough time. I am going to have to throw this in there I know it’s crazy, you are left handed and so am I and Rae is too.

Honestly an art activity book sounds great. My favorite coloring book right now is one were several of the pictures aren't finished and are left for you to fill in the blanks, cause I like to add more of my creative touch to things sometimes

I love videos when artists tests out new (or general) art products. Review and then made an artwork out of it. ❤

Why do we watch you, Chloe? Because you're hilarious! You're right, making art for RU-vid completely changes the relationship with your art.

"and my theory is that people have the attention span of a spoon"😂 I thought this was really funny so I wanted to add this quote, but I just wanted to say that it is more than okay to not make art in your videos because you are not feeling that spark you used to or the spark you feel when you don't do it in front of a camera. I do make art and I couldn't even imagine a fraction of what youtubers who post art deal with. I couldn't imagine having to think about what will make views, what are people gonna say about my art, or I hope a get a lot of views from this piece of art, or anything else. It is hard and especially harder when you are burnt out, making a book, getting married soon, dealing with health problems, and so much more. I don't know how long I have been watching you for but your videos are raw and I really enjoy that. Even when recently watching your arteza advent calendar video, I was wondering why you didn't make any art at the end of it with the supplies but it didn't bother me because I knew you probably had your reasons. I just want to say, don't feel pressured by your subscribers and that we will always enjoy your videos no matter what. You should be doing what you love and making what you love because that's what youtube is for, to share that joy. 💙

Things I love about your content: your personality, You easily inspire me, and I can see the passion in what you do weather it is painting or just trying app n’ stuff. I know you said you don’t enjoy making art content any more, but my last reason still stands.

I really love your sense of humor, and will watch your videos no matter what you choose to do. I personally like the review type videos and customization stuff. You can’t please everyone and can’t control viewer reaction. My advice is to just continue being you, and do what makes you happy. Happy 2024!

Chloe, I love your humor. That's why I watch. I also like the art hacks, diy, kits and much more! You are awesome, keep being you!

Your intro is why i dont want to make art anymore, lol. - '10/10, then made a short, 54 million views!!'.. It ended my enjoyment of art when they brought shorts in. :( So happy for your journey and direction!! I've always seen your channel as more a personality than art.

So looking forward to whatever you're going to treat us with in this year ❤ You've been inspiring me for so long now and I'm happy whatever you do.

Happy new year Chloe! Thanks for sharing all this with us :) Personally, I watch you because of YOU!! haha... I love hearing your input on stuff, see you try hacks, opening art boxes and hearing your feedback, or whatever other crazy experiment you feel like sharing with us :D Whatever you do, I'll keep watching! So just do the videos you love doing and we'll be right there with you ❤

Hi, happy New Year❤

Love you Chloe.. I will watch whatever you do.. Happy New Year!

Super excited to hear about your book. I like your videos where you try things out because you make it fun, not stressful. It inspires me to try new things without getting anxious. I’m not a fan of long content because I’m usually watching with my morning coffee so I don’t have much time. But I also want more than reels/shorts. And I love seeing process & finished works on Instagram.

Happy new year!! Please don’t feel pressured to make art but do it for the love of it. Variety is the spice of life so do whatever video form excites and interests you. I will always get excited when seeing a video of yours pop up in my notifications. Take care of yourself and do what’s best for you. Much love from U.K. xx

Happy New Year 🎊 and Congratulations on the book 🎉❤️🎨🖌️, you deserve it!

I love your art Chloe ❤ I especially love your art subscription box series. I also really love videos where you buy and try out new items (not just art items). I find your videos on tidying and organising your room really helpful. I like that your content is varied. You got this Chloe 🎉❤

Happy New Year, Chloe as long as you are in the videos I'll watch, that simple.

I'm SUPER excited to see your store return this year! Absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on more of your brushes.

I love everything you post. Love your personality. I personally love watching your art videos but mostly I just enjoy your channel. Do what makes you happy. Thanks for taking the time to give us an update on your life and thought process. Looking forward to your book and your shop. I hope you will be able to ship to Canada🙏🏻

Absolutely love your honesty and humor! Please don’t lose that

I can definitely see how putting so much work into a video just for it to not do well, but I will forever watch any and every video you post, no matter what it is! art, dogs, reacting, opening, literally anything, you will always bring a smile to my face 🤍 You do what you love Chloe, and even if that love changes! Make sure you take care of yourself as your the most important person in your life! 🤍🤍🤍

Happy New Year Chloe! Glad you're putting your needs first.❤

I completely understand how you feel! I've been struggling with wanting to make a RU-vid channel about my art/being creative, but I'm indecisive and change a lot. I'm here to watch you, no matter what you do! And I can't wait for you to open a shop so I can save money and buy your products!!

I just love hanging out with you regardless of what your videos are about. I do particularly love the long content of you making art - but the other videos are fun too! I loved your wedding DIY video! :)

Chloe I so appreciate your honesty and explanation. I really loved your presentation. You go girl

Chloe, I have been watching you since you were still at home with your parents in the walk in closet. I fell in love with personality, and how bubbly you are, I will alway continue to watch your videos, no matter what they are about, because it’s your personality that sold me. Your art is incredible, and I’d love to see your crochet progress. Xx

I love watching you as a person. I do love your art. I have a print of one of the pieces you made on your channel and it's so special to me because I watched you do it and i feel like i participated somehow in the creation. Saying that, I don't watch for the art, I watch because i feel connected to you.

I absolutely love your long form content!! I think you’re funny, talented & witty! I enjoy your art, testing new products etc videos! I’m here for whatever you make!

Your videos have always been a fun comfort for me when I’ve gone through art blocks, stressful times, and just decompressing after work. Happy that you are taking control and going in a direction you want. PCOS is a struggle and those dang cortisol levels can be impossible, but it’s also nice to see that there is hope! Excited to see what comes next!

Been here since the start! It’s been a blast through the years. It’s been cool watching you grow as a person also. I can say 100% that since you met your fiancé you’ve been your best and brightest on RU-vid. So happy for you guys.

I just like watching whatever it is you're having fun doing, so keep doing that!

I love your channel BECAUSE you don’t make art every time! There are so many channels out there just doing art tutorials but what I love is you being a bit different, talking about being an artist, discovering art supplies, unboxing, trying out kits, or just being you! Nothing is more important than your health and doing what you enjoy and reducing stress is part of good health. Just do what you do - your community loves you. 💚

Chloe for me it is your amazing personality that keeps me waiting for your next video. I love the variety in your channel. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Happy New Year !! I love all your contents, and I’m always looking forward to watching your videos, but do what is good for you and what you love to do! Don’t pressure yourself, health is more important. We watch you because you’re talented, fun, genuine, you’re a ray of sunshine! I just wish for you to be happy and fulfilled. I’m relieved that you don’t plan on stopping your channel haha. Again, do what makes you happy and feel better. Can’t wait to see that coloring book!! Stay your beautiful self. Love from Switzerland ❤

Happy New Year Chloe! Do what you feel is best for you and your health. Look after yourself. What you doing the last year was awesome, and i loved it. I couldn't wait for a video to come out. You already have your mind set on all your plans for this year, so do that and we will be happy. Be happy and do what your body tells you to do 😊😊😊

Sending you love hope you take care of yourself we will be here still❤

Happy New Year! I actually enjoy all the videos about just trying new things, new art supplies, new art technics, art hacks, even the whole organizing your art supplies. I found quite a few things on this channel that I ended up trying afterwards as well. It's not even necessarily about the art itself, but also about watching things I definitely can never get (too expensive or not buy-able here) or just to get ideas for myself. Also to find affordable art supplies that aren't too bad that I could look into buying. It's a bonus when you draw something with the supplies you got in a box or through a challenge, but it's not a necessity in my eyes.

I miss your arty videos, but I understand where you are coming from. You and Rae are my OG RU-vidr artists. Your bears brought me so much joy ❤

I think the reason I enjoy your content so much is the eclectic creative joy you bring to the videos. I can, I think, tell when you're at your ease and really just enjoying what you're doing and being creative however that comes out. Whatever media that is. I'm so delighted that you're prioritizing yourself this year! I think your exploration of medium videos and trying new things and talking through the thought process of the decisions that you're making encapsulates that 'eclectic creative joy' that is so enjoyable, for me anyway. But, I'm here for whatever you want to try. Your videos are stress relief from work. I work in a locked unit Alzheimer's Adult Medical Daycare and Assisted Living, and I love my job but there are days I just need to unwind and your channel helps so much.

I watch your videos because I love your personality and especially your sense of humor. I am a fan of the artwork you do too, but it's YOU that keeps me watching! I have binge-watched all your videos and my favorite ones, by far, were your skits. Omg girl you have a great talent for that type of content. And you say you actually enjoy making thaype, so my vote is for more of those! Bottom line is your videos make my life better so make videos you enjoy making but just please don't go anywhere! Lol

Your chanel is always fun! Painting or opening stuff, reviews, you are enjoyable to hangout with. I’ve seen every single video you’ve made and I’m still excited when I see a new video. I’m in my 40’s and one thing I am sure of is that having fun is literally overlooked all the time. It must be so so hard to try and please everyone and probably the weird guilt when you don’t get the views you like/need. Honestly, the stuff you are doing is great. Switch up what you feel like! Making things for your house, reviews are great, challenges… do what is fun for you and the people that are here for you, will still love it

Do whatever makes you happy! Im here for the long run and love your content anyway! ❤❤❤

Happy New Year !! I like all your videos. They are creative and entertaining.

Chloe, I watch you because you're funny and a Disney fan like me. I first discovered you through the painting Pooh on a toilet seat video. I thought it was so funny that I've started making jokes about being covered in Pooh whenever I wear a Winnie The Pooh nightshirt. I just don’t always have time to watch your videos. I'm still trying to work out what my own dreams are as a creative myself. I think you definitely could go on to make art for Disney! I'd love to do that too but I'm not good enough, but you are!

I think I like the mix of your different kinds of videos. I just generally like your energy. I found your channel a year ago I think.

I love you and your channel. I think everything you do is extremely entertaining. Keep doing what you’re doing and what makes you happy. Your followers will be here and if they aren’t then that’s on them but more will come. Mainly you need to take care of yourself and your family first and foremost. I am on my art learning journey now and I do everything from resin to coloring. You and nerdycrafter are my inspiration. Thank you for being you 🙏🏻

I love all of your videos, whether it’s serious art or silly art hacks. I’m glad you’re going to keep the channel going, and I look forward to seeing whatever you choose to post in the future. Hang in there, girl! You are awesome!

I honestly watch because you seem like such an earnest and thoughtful person. I enjoy your challenges, your art, and your reaction videos. Maybe not a very helpful answer but after spending a lot of time thinking about it, that's the answer that felt the most honest. Hope you're having a wonderful new year!

Love that you're creating a book! Huge congratulations, it must be such a huge, exhausting effort so well done ❤ Really hope you continue making content that you enjoy 😊

I’ve always been here for your personality tbh! Any content you’re making I’m always excited for :)

Everything about you is fabulous, Chloe! I love the ones where you try out new things and techniques and call out the "hacks" and stuff. But I will pretty much watch whatever videos you put out because YOU are interesting and I'm invested in your journey, wherever it takes you. You keep it real, whatever you're doing and your reactions are priceless. Huggs!!

I love seeing you doing something you enjoy. ((Also very happy that you won’t stop after having a family.)) You are such a joy to watch, you have no idea. I really hope it’ll work out for you, you are a joy to watch.

I understand exactly where you are at. I loved the look of stain glass windows from childhood. One day in my late 20’s I took a class, I was hooked and I was good at it. Next thing you know I’m in business, teaching, retail, ever growing list of more and bigger and more complex commissions. I had to keep working while I was pregnant (like drawing & painting) it’s a hands on & labor intensive. I worked through recovery from an auto accident (on my way to deliver a church window). The church was content to wait but I had two other customers who threatened to sue if I didn’t deliver on time. There I am 1 day out of the hospital my mom and aunt foiling 2000 glass pieces for a lamp and me soldering with 1 hand, 1 day out of the hospital. One day after my second child was born, I woke up and JUST HATED IT! I picked up, packed up and moved out of my retail space. Took me more than a decade to recover mentally and emotionally. People can be snots. Now I am extremely selective on what commissions I take, charge extra for dealing with committees and give my self very long deadlines and avoid them when possible. Hang in there and please yourself. Those of us who follow “you” will stick. Trust me you can ultimately do without the snots.

I’ve always watched you for you and not always the art! I appreciate who you are and your personality! You are talented is so many way other than just your art!

I love watching people making art, I love to see how people attack and accomplish the task of communicating what they see or imagine. I appreciate all that you have done and I will say whatever you will do

Love everything you do Chloe. Sorry you’ve lost your joy. So excited about your upcoming art activity book. Follow your heart, be true to what brings you joy, whatever that looks like! Don’t worry about being honest with us, you should be! Your mental/physical health are a top priority. You deserve to love your life. Sound like you’re on the right track. Keep up the good stuff. Love you girlie!❤

I like your personality and your honesty. you are the Art/artist channel i watch most. I like the mix of content. opening things, trying new things, and making art. Hope you find your spark again. Remember to do whats makes you happy.

I started watching your videos when you were painting Disney content, and have loved to see all of the other videos you have created since. Please don't feel pressured to create specific content, just do what you love and we will support you!

Honestly LOVE the skits!! Take care of yourself first ALWAYS!!

Do whatever makes you happy I’m sure i will watch no matter what you decide to make videos on 😊

My 11 year and I love your channel and always watch your videos. We love how silly and real you are. Whatever you make, we’re here for it!

Hi Chloe, Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. I honestly can't remember exactly when I started watching you but I've always got so much joy from your quirky sense of humour. I vaguely remember you painting a Disney castle on your bathroom wall. It was beautiful. And, there were some cute little Teddy drawings. 🐻❤ You've done some wonderful collaborations. I particularly enjoyed you and your American friend(whose name has slipped my mind) shopping for each other then watching what you both made from the mystery boxes. Keep doing what you're doing if it makes you happy. The people that appreciate you will always be there ❤ Lots of love Annie from Loughborough, UK xx

Happy New Year to you and your family ❤ xxx

I like all your videos. Do what moves you most and what you enjoy. Your enjoyment comes through and we love that.

Happy New Year Chloe. You don't have to explain why there is less art on your channel. I really love what ou are doing, your voice is very positive and cheerful and I love listening to you:) I started watching you for the hacks videos and I am really happy that I stayed for so long:) So just keep going with whatever feels right for you on this channel!

I love your channel! Fantastic news about your book and happy new year from Australia.

I watch your channel for your videos about art supplies. Seeing reviews on art supplies help me to decide what supplies to get.

I've enjoyed your art box videos, painting on teeny canvases, and your murals. I'm not one for short content personally, but I understand how/why people enjoy it. I also just enjoy listening to your talk about art things.

I love your channel because of the artsy chaotic videos. Take care!

Chloe, I love watching ALL your videos. I love the eclectic nature of them & sometimes the inspiration they provide to a fellow creative person, who is also eclectic. I love seeing your Disney elements. But at the end of the day no matter what the videos are they are the best when you are genuinely happy making them as your personality shines through.

I LOVE your customization and trying hacks videos and would love to see more of them. That being said, you have to follow your passion and know that if it's meant to be, it will be.

Happy New Year! I first found your videos in 2019 and fell in love. You got me into art and now for the past five years I've been working on skills. I know it's not helpful, but I love every video you've made. I've learned how to do art with you. I learned how to draw Poo bear, and my own dog who is a labradoodle, and landscapes. I'm so sorry this happened.

What I love about your channel is you, honestly! I feel like hanging out with a friend when watching your videos. As long as you post it, I’ll watch it ☺️

I'm so sorry that your art videos aren't as popular and aren't getting views. I love your art and videos where you paint especially the Disney ones like the Tangled wall. As artist and someone who has a lot of hobbies I definitely understand burn out and needing to step back and take time away. You should make content that you love and not feel pressured to do something that might stress you out more. I'm glad you discovered crocheting that sounds like so much fun. I also have PCOS and other medical issues so I know the struggle and stress that comes with that. If you need to take some time away to focus on your wedding or just to step away from the pressure of RU-vid that's okay. You're amazing and your art is incredible and all your videos are enjoyable whether they have art or not. Thank you for being open and honest with everything you are going through and have been through. You're doing an incredible job. Also I had no idea you drew Dean Winchester that's so cool. I met Jensen and a few other Supernatural cast members when I participated in GISH which was hosted by Misha Collins. I hope you are having a good start to your new year and congratulations again on your upcoming wedding. I hope you are doing well and I hope you have a wonderful day.

I find this really sweet. I used to watch your videos and other long form videos on RU-vid so much but ever since RU-vid shorts I’ve been stuck in the algorithm route. Seeing this just makes me happy to go back to long form videos. Honestly do what makes you happy! Challenges seems so fun to watch since it feels like I’m doing it beside you. Your channel has grown so much and so have you I truly wish you the best with you and your fiancé and your future store. Stay strong when things get tough ❤️

I can’t remember not being subscribed to you, you were definitely one my first. I’d love to see you film whatever makes you happy honestly. I have channels I subscribe to that I see as comfort content- you are one of those. Keep being you.

Chloe, it's so wonderful to see you being honest with yourself and your followers about what you need and want in your future! I am here no matter your content and I know there are many that would say the same, I am sorry that some are not in that mindset and I hope you the best in everything!
