A year of Studio Time art journal videos!

A year of art journal videos already?

Wow, I can’t believe it has been about a year now since I first uploaded my first few art journal videosย on YouTube…

Before doing that, I must admit I had been thinking about video creationย for sooo long but, like most people (and you may recognise yourself here), I didn’t have enough faith in myself and I made excuses!

Yes, silly excuses…

First,ย Iย was shy aboutย showing my face on camera
Doing make up and hair is NOT my thing and (it’s ok, I know you noticed hahaha) and I felt a little self conscious so that’s whyย I warned youย about that in my first episodeย Studio Time 1ย (just so you wouldn’t have highย expectationsย lol)
I didn’t know how to even edit a video!
Thatย was a biggieย that made me put things offย asย I just couldn’t be bothered learning new software… So told myself it would be hard. As it turns out, it’s is NOT hard! Yes, itย is a learning curveย but all in all, Iย know the content is what matters the most anyway ๐Ÿ˜‰
And, I didn’t think anyone would be interested!

I ended up giving myself a kick in the butt (lil’ not very flexible me!) and just went for it. The response was unexpectedly overwhelming and positiveย so Iย went again. And again. And again lol

Now I have 57 videos on YouTube including 28 episodes of Studio Time. Not too shabby meย thinks.
What keepsย me going? Well,***YOU*** of course, Silly! You keep encouraging me and thanking me and making me feel like I do somethingย useful hereย so it’s your own fault if I’m still around ๐Ÿ™‚
The 4100 subscribers I now have tell me that you were interested after allย and… I feel so grateful!

  5. I love all your videos Mimi but my favourite is “Shine Bright” Studio Time 8 you did for #lovesummerart. Your style just really spoke to me. It must be those bright colours!! I am hoping to get my hands dirty and start my own creative journey. My hubby just bought me your e-course and book and can’t wait to get started.
