FINDING MY ART STYLE 🎨 oil paint with me + creative motivation tips ☁️ dreamy art vlog
How do you find your Art Style? Myself and many artists struggle with this question. It's a lifelong process that can seem daunting at first. In this art vlog I'll share with you how I am developing my own art style and how you can too! I'll paint two oil paintings, one that I considered a "failure" and one that defines my desired art style! Even though the first one was not as successful, the lessons it taught me were vital to finding my style. Also, Brett and I go for a nice hike and it was so much fun! :)
Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you all get the chance to spend time with or do something special for someone you care for! I care for you all!
Lots of love,
Ashleigh 💖

🌿 Recipe for Shaved Asparagus, Mint, and Edamame Spaghetti (4 servings):
Ingredients-
salt and pepper
8oz large asparagus
3/4 cup frozen shelled edamame
14oz dried spaghetti
2tbsp olive oil
1 large leek, white parts only, trimmed and julienned
1 large clove garlic
4oz ricotta cheese
1 large handful fresh mint, finely chopped
2tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. To prepare asparagus, place each spear flat on a cutting board and use a peeler to shave into very thin slices.
2. Cook the edamame in the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl of ice water.
3. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until just al dente. When the spaghetti is cooked, drain and reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. Set the spaghetti aside.
4. Meanwhile, when the spaghetti is nearly cooked, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan. Add the asparagus and leek and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the asparagus starts to soften. Add the garlic and edamame and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat.
5. Add the ricotta and 4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water to the pasta pan. Whisk until smooth, adding more cooking water as necessary. Add the asparagus mixture to the pan and mix together over a low heat.
6. Return the spaghetti to the pan, and add the mint and parmesan. Toss well. Season well with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 serving plates and serve immediately with more parmesan, mint leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil on top.

Transcendental meditation. David Lynch talks a lot about it. I'm musician and it helped me. Hearing you talking about being self-indulgent reminded me him. With this I've learned to be 50% and observer and 50% a good listener to myself. I know your approach might be different but go and listen to his technique. It's going to take time but my intuition is you have to appreciate and love to listen to him because there is something magical in the fascination you have for a creative phenomenon I can't tell more. The magic has to happen by itself. Cheers Martin.

This video was also very calming ...really loved it a lot🕊🤍
I love that you were transparent with your struggle on the first portrait, but came back and crushed the second portrait. Also I think part of finding your style is just being patient, as long as youre creating, it will inevitably come. And even when I feel like I have a style, I’m wondering what my art will look like next! Anywho, awesome video!

Exactly! You can draw or paint something 10 times, the last time isn't gonna be your best work every time. I agree, keep practicing and collecting photos of art, you'll automatically be drawn to certain styles, colors and textures. And of course all of this will change over time, because so are we. I like the calming cinematic music! Keep creating and inspiring people 🎨✌

Your art is breathtaking, do not let others be what faults your career because you are full of amazing talent!
I loved watching you find your art style! I really enjoyed how open and honest you were about the first portrait. You continue to inspire me every day❤️
That was GREAT job on stretch and then to redo a canvas due to your base coat of geso and second canvas definitely made a big difference. Your layering of colors also was good to observe as you blended colors. And brush applications also. I saw how you worked in areas to get your shadow areas. And angles faces for me are also challenges for me and I too continue to find my style for faces portraits. Seeing your perspective s encouraged me to not give up on portrait s . As I had put painting faces on back burner for later time. But seeing how you worked on yours gave me inspiration to scetch also. I need to make scetching practice again. Thank you for your video your painting came out beautiful and awesome! I am sure he will love it for his display.
I'm a Brazilian fan. I love to draw and I usually just do it with pencils, black and gray portraits. I recently started experimenting with colored pencils and your painting videos helped me a lot. Your videos are inspiring, keep up the good work.

This video is so fantastic. I love the music, your hair looks great, and as a self taught artist I really appreciate the honesty and struggle that you showed. All your insights from the first painting are spot on and the second one is honestly fantastic. I'm jealous of how quick you were able to apply what you learned and turn out an awesome piece of art.

This how I learn, never school in anything but this need to explore and learn since I’ve always been sort of an outcast/loner yet I’m never bored the way I see it, we have everything we need [besides the obvious color, tools and what not] some aim beginners mind when arting but if your a beginner should you have advanced kind? i have no clue what I said above 👁 👀 who cares you know..people get to philosophical at times if you have passion for something you’ll do it for free and if your not sure which way to go do something you’d do for nothing an advice given to me by a good friend which i found to be tru for me specially now with everything going on art neutralizes all that and hope to rise above it best
