Attempting to do Art Everyday for a Week an Art Vlog

Dear Girlies, they, themselves, and hims,

This week was a lot mentally. I feel like I came home everyday absolutly exhausted everyday this week. Being realistic with myself the next month is probably going to be a little hectic while I settle and learn my new job position.

On the other side of the spectrum I have started actually taking steps to open up my little art shop. I’m hoping to have everything ready by June or July rather than the end of the year. But I guess we will see on that. I’m heavily debating on joining square space just to take some lessons on gouache and acrylic. I have such vivid ideas of the art that I want to make but I don't posses the skill needed to execute it the way i’d like. Specifically with acrylic and gouache paint. I think I’ve started to give up on drawing, lol it's just not my medium!

I hope y'all like the random journal entry type of descriptions. It gives me the ability to make blogs and vlogs simultaneously lol.

I think it's really important to express the ups and downs of art / being an artist so others can have realistic expectations. Especially others with full time jobs and few followers trying to make a carrier out of their art. We are still learning daily! I have so many YouTubers that I love dearly for this reason. They help me feel like less of an imposter when I call myself and artist. Realisitically I don't say that statement out loud pretty much ever. Its hard to call yourself and artist when you create 2-3 times or month or have to force yourself to start back. But that is the beauty of it. Art will be there no matter how long it is in between sessions. That's one reason why I love it so much.

I don't know if y'all also suffer with the imposter syndrome but if you do take a second to reaffirm yourself. I am an artist. I love my art. I believe in myself. I am proud of myself. I deserve to be here. I deserve to be successful.

I hope y'all have a lovely week. Stay safe out here people are crazy lol. Ill see you next week.

Kisses,

Destinee 🐰🫶🏼
