Beeing alone can be great too! Showing you in this video how loneliness helped me to improve my Painting skills and overall mindset. Influence from outside can be so powerfull but did you ever listened to you inner Voice? How powerfull that one can be too? When you learn to trust your intuition, your path in life can become more clear. And beside that talk I will show you the process of a big oilpainting and we will visit a big forest . Everything is filmed and edited by myself.
Hope you enjoy this Art Vlog❣️
