Life Lately ~ Unfiltered, Extended Edition; I didn't leave the house for 7 days, Unpopular Opinions, a rant (!) AI 'art' & Don't Fear the Ugly Phase in Art. Welcome to this extended, unfiltered studio vlog / life catch-up!
It’s been 7 whole days since I left the house, and today I’m inviting you to come along as I try to break that spell. This video is a mix of real life, art process, pencil drawing in my sketchbook and painting a portrait on canvas, anddddd, some honest unpopular opinions (eek!) from my thoughts on AI art, to why we shouldn’t fear the “ugly phase” in creativity. I share my current sketch-to-painting process, talk about recovery, mental health, creative blocks, slow living, decluttering my wardrobe, and all my art / creativity tips along the way.

Let’s chat in the comments ~
What are you dreaming of, working on, or letting go of?
I’d love to hear from you.

Whether you're an artist, introvert, or human soul on a healing path — I hope this inspires you to honour your own inner rhythm too. Here is a place for Art Journaling, sketchbook drawing, watercolors, oil painting, tea & honest talks, and slow living. Welcome to my flow routines; mornings, afternoons and evenings and the return to more natural rhythms. Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company in this little corner of YouTube! Biggest Loves, Wendy. Xxs
