Hey guys, so I am doing a collaboration video with Tina from Overall Adventures and we are going to do the art process tag and we decided to do a collaboration together and she actually came up with these questions so be sure if you do this tag be sure to link back to both of us. Also tag your friends and links to them because we would love to see your guys as videos and your friends as videos and all of us. This is the art process tag. Go check out Tina's channel at the end of this video. She's awesome. She's like totally free spirit, creative, person, she's a lot of journaling videos. Go check her out. I absolutely love her and I'm sure you guys will too. What do you create? I create a, I'm a watercolor artist and I do a lot of work that's inspired by travel and culture and then the mixing of cultures and what the mixing of cultures means to me and I'll do a video on this in the future. Mixing of cultures, I tend to study religions and other cultures and other religions. I think that Christianity is definitely a worldview that relates to all different cultures and so I love symbolism and things from cultures and I like using what I believe is like from the Bible, what I believe is true, to speak to different cultures and what that means. I'll show you guys some examples of that in future videos. Do let me know though because I have some blog posts and stuff on it from the past. I create watercolors with social, culture, travel, inspiration. What do you need to create? I wanted to think about this for a while. I think this is one of those questions that I love to use watercolors and so then watercolour paper and watercolors. If you take that away, I can use a pencil and notebook. If you take that away, I've got, I can find a stick and dirt and if you take that away, I still have my words and like creative people just create what do we need? I don't even know. It's such a hard question. I want to, all of these are such good questions. I think I can do an individual video on each of them. I'll try to answer these again later because I think they're really beautiful questions. Coffee or tea? Definitely tea. I do not like coffee at all. Night or day. I love both. I love mornings and evenings. I love breaking up with the sun and going to bed after the sun is set. I used to be a twirl night owl and stay up until like two or three every day and then like get up early in the take nap. That was in college. I don't do that anymore. I am more of like a traditional. I go to bed when I'm like midnight or one or two. Last night I was like two thirty which is rare from me anymore and then I get up usually between six, between five thirty and seven thirty. When we used to live, I had like this great view over a golf course where I could watch the sunrise every single day and I kind of missed that. But here I get to watch the sunset out of our back. So that's cool. And it's super pretty town for sunsets. We went to the bike. We went for a bike ride last night and we went to the river and just like watched the sunset over the river and you can also see the moon coming up over the river. So that was super gorgeous. So anyway, that doesn't answer your question. I like both. I just did a painting, two paintings that asked this question as well. Where do you find inspiration? Travel, culture, nature. I love being outdoors but definitely travel and culture in different languages and people groups and all those types of things as you will see in my future. And probably some of my past trying to do more stuff in the future that is like my work, my art, travel, culture, those fat core concept groups. A routine or wing it, I definitely do both. Routine, I need to set aside days like that I keep for my art and then within those days I kind of wing it a bit more. What are your typical artistic challenges? I'm not quite sure what that means. I'll come back to this one later I think. Real models. I love people that can do all sorts of things. Like I think polymath is the word. People that are good at visual art and painting and singing and different mediums and they can write and they can have great gorgeous voices. They can play the guitar all sorts of things. Like I love people that are just like creative people that can do I think those are super inspiring. Also people that are just like good people that I mentioned on my past videos like people who like follow the fruits of the spirit like goodness, patience, gentleness, kindness, love control. I just have them all wrong but I will I will miss them below so you can see it. Favorite snack foods for creativity. I have no idea. I don't know this one. I love cultural foods that you can't get in the US or where I live I guess. I also love like cultural foods as far as like going on beyond the big cherries which is a very like Washington thing that you couldn't do in other parts of the US. How do you push through blocks? I think I just create something. Also as another really struggle where I'm like if I want to make until I work I need to do it but I also do enough teaching where it the teaching can inspire me and like there's a few art friends I have that can inspire me. Yeah it's a tough one like I struggle with this all the time but what is your ideal creative day? I love listening to sermons or like debates whether like or like philosophical lectures like I could sit and listen to like lectures just like all day long while painting I love that. Also I think like backpacking and painting or creating artwork while backpacking or traveling with a small group of by myself or like having times of both either one of those like super nerdy or super outdoorsy. Tips for young artists and new artists I just keep going keep creating. If you feel like you're not doing well keep keep making work we all feel like we're not doing well just keep making work keep making things start putting it out there put it online if you want to like get an art business and selling and teaching take every single opportunity you can to teach volunteer to teach volunteer at galleries do everything that you can to just put yourself out there and start going for it. I think that's definitely my biggest thing and like do in if you're in college do internships I think internships from more important than the actual like degree maybe I shouldn't say that but if you're more art school videos which I know a lot of you guys do let me know as well. Don't remember your process in one sentence I do not know this answer yet I'm trying to think still 14 any weird artist quirks or habits on not really but I was we were gonna take this question off I'm answering it anyways just in case we keep it but I do love to listen to music that goes along with what I'm doing. So when I was doing my make it plain body of our work I listened to a lot of like grits and like hip hop that is like social activity hip hop and very positive and on like somewhat angry but also very positive and joyful and like progress oriented. The main one I listened to was actually grits during that time and a few other like of the more like traditional ones also like and then when I did my like in the artwork I listened to Bollywood the whole time and now I'm listening to like different music from the different cultures that I'm studying within my community so it's yeah I think I just I listen to music that matches the I listen to music that matches the work.
