  • Well done.. I remember watching your first video when it had 3 views I wanted to know which music you used. and after that I followed you for a bit but then got busy :P . I knew you would be big someday and now after a long time (since 2007) I click on this video and I am happy that what I thought 4 years ago became true..

  • Stories like these are great to hear. Especially for those that really have the desire to share their creativity, but fear the rejection or negative judgment. You've proven that uploading the video despite thinking it could be a disaster could very well change your life. Good luck to you! - Dio

  • Hello Val, the first time I met you on You-tube I was astonished. As one of the channel holders you brought You-tube alive. Even art came back on me and I really appreciate almost all your contributions. You became part of my life every Sunday since and I became in love with this lovely looking artist who also has a sense of healthy commerce. I thank you BIG time, precious.

  • Hi Val! Love the art work and your videos. You have inspired me in many ways. Keep up the good work! Be safe and take care. :)

    I LOVE CHOCOLATE TOO! ♥

  • I want to participate in the July 24 project, how do I submit my video? How long does it have to be? Do you have the rules written down somewhere?

  • I love this, Val... GREAT video!! I loved your work, videos, format, editing... from the first time I caught one of your videos. AND you're gorgeous and grounded. :D I will one day own your art and display it in my home!

  • Vals Art Diary is alot more cheerful than Anne Frank's Diary.

  • Hi Val!,

    I'm a painter too, I've been active now for over 40 years, but I'm not really known yet internationally. I'm also getting on the internet now, and also on Youtube. I would like to congratulate you how unbelievable popular you are, as if it all went by itself.. Unfortunately I haven't got much views, if you - or any other Youtuber - wants to support me to also become noticed, go to my channel and watch my video & subscribe! More videos are coming soon! Thanks in advance!

  • Nice videos Val

  • I wonder how much Dolly is worth now. wasnt that the first one?

  • Been watching for a long time.

    You have made and earned a richness in your life that most only dream about.  My heart goes out to you for this, for being determined and genuine and believing in yourself, and letting all of us experience it with you, and see you grow and blossom. Thank you, Val.

  • Congratulations Val.

  • Valentina, you are a delightful person! Watching you, enjoying your art, your humor, and your adorable smile, brightens my world! I'm so glad I discovered you here! I joined YouTube just to listen to some music, but soon discovered the real beauty of this place is the wonderful people you meet! Thanks for all the brilliant videos, and for sharing yourself with us!

  • I love the background music what is it??

  • holy you're still on youtube?

  • i think i just fell in love with you. (Well in a sense)...

  • That is such an awesome and uplifting story. Doing art for a living can be frustrating at times, but youtube is so awesome that allows us to share our work. Your video made my day. Thanks. :)

    -Paul

  • I love your work, at least what I could glimpse of it. Keep the dream, and please make a video where your paintings are shown a bit longer. Remember only one thing; a true artist doesn't wait for inspiration, she or he works everyday.

  • Val my favorite painting of yours was the dream one. With the colorful trees and the black curling branches. Idk how to describe it, but I love it!!

  • First youtube, next; the world! Here's hoping for another 20 million views for your wonderful art.

  • @WongieUK Thanks so much!! <3

  • This is a true story how I find you...lol. I had my own myspace profile that I create and throught to my another profile just for artists. So, I created "World of the Arts." Then I seen youtube, and got addicted to YT and throught about looking for clips about art, and long behold...I find Valartdiary, and was hooked. So, Val...you're my insirpation to promote and sell my artwork as well. Thank you for yorur tips of being an successful artist online; which is on the work as we speak. ^_^

  • Val, thanks for this wonderful and touching video.

  • Nice. is all I have to say.

    Nice

  • all yhe very best to you val, your beauty, your humour, and that accent mmmm.... you inspire, you ROCK!

  • My dream is to have one of your paintings in my house Val. I simply love them. And you are a uniquely open and wonderfully creative ball of energy. An Inspiration. A flicker of colour in a ever-increasing fearful sterile world. You are the drop of pure light which will radiate over the oceans and affect everyone. Grazie Mille <3

  • @pickledcherries Aw Grazie Mille to you! <3

  • I agree with many of the other comments here. Intimate, creative, fun, thought provoking, personality driven, quirky, experimental and always entertaining, Val's Art Diary in many ways best exemplifies the promise of YouTube...which does us all a valuable service by proving a platform for creative folks like Val.

  • val, you rule because you're always trying new things in your vids and reply to so many of the comments. few people do that!

  • Thanks for being you and sharing you work with us. :)

  • nice vid ツ

  • I love that dancing cat!

  • Best of luck to you in the future! Some day I will own a Val painting! ^_^

  • I've been following your videos for quite awhile now. I'm not sure as of how I stumbled on to them, but I'm glad I did. You inspire me so much! I'm not a painter but I am an artist, and the way your mind thinks is truly amazing. Keep being your quirky, outgoing, beautiful self. :)

    btw: I'm 6 mos pregnant now and I'm naming my son Valentino. I hope he's just as creative and outspoken as you are. :)

  • OMG i love the kitty kat video!

  • @JossickHouse but i love your videos too you have helped me very much ... more than you know

  • valsartdiary , with your upbeat personality and real talk the inevitable was what you've met ; what you strove for is what you received, many fold.

  • Wow! A dream come true! Congratulations!!!

  • I love your paintings and your videos. Keep up the good work and I think you deserve all of the success that you are getting.

  • @BlakRonin  thanks1!!!

  • Eat your cookie .

  • the crooked woman joke was hilarious !!!! :D

  • @bpnf06  :P

  • Keep up the good work Val! :) You really do have an amazing talent. I have enjoyed watching your videos and i look forward to watching more excellent videos to come :D

  • Great work Val keep sharing your art and stories.

  • Hello Val, I missed your weekly vlogs I thought you were on vacation. I am about to leave my job and search for a another passion. So I had to focus on the dreams I have. But what were my dreams, I started as chemical annalist and than an language teacher and now being a consultant of policy to local governments and planned to leave this job to get into creating ??? art ???

  • @Wolferisa  best of luck!

  • =) awesome video Val!!

  • Its wonderful to see someone happy in their life, and grateful for all they have. Too many people get trapped into focusing on the negative things in life, or allow their dreams to gradually die away because pursuing a dream takes grit, determination, and hard work.

  • This is a true representation of someone who make the best use YouTube. Not hoard ratings or upload random, useless (non entertaining) videos. Congratulations Val on having your dream come true. Best of luck for the future!

    p.s. - Dont for get to thank your friend who introduced you to YouTube! HAHA!

  • @BlacKGraFFiX haha THANKS SOOOO MUCH!!! i know- friends who open doors are kick ass! a special gift is in order

  • That wasn't a cat, that was Dr. Stinky in a cat suit. He's tricky! But shhh, he still thinks you don't know ;) I've enjoyed the sing-alongs on the Valentina bus :) Keep that bus moving forward and we'll keep singing along!

  • Anyway, keep it up, hope you can make 200 more videos :). Wish you continued success and thanks for posting your story.

  • Hey, I first saw your videos a long time ago and you're one of the few people I subscribed too... which is pretty good considering I've probably watched over 100,000 videos on youtube... :)

    I'm also somewhat of an artist, although can't do it professionally because I don't know how to make money doing art. You can see a couple speed paints on my channel, the candle one is better...

  • The first Val video I ever saw was the one where you put the sparkler in the cup of water and it never went out. It burned through the bottom and you couldnt get it to stop. I think it was a New Years video for Youtube.

  • youre awesome <3 keep it up val

  • Hey, you inspired me to post my vblogs on you tube. and I've posted videos of me working on different art pieces and there's more to come. Without seeing your vids I would never have had the courage to post them to the world :) Thanks to you, although I only have a small following of my friends on Deviantart, it feels a lot more to me. :) I feel more confident as an artist. So thank you sincerely.

    B xxx

  • I actually got a youtube account so I could subscribe to you! I loved watching you paint every sunday. Please post more painting video's!

  • this chick is hot....

  • im so happy to see you happy :)

  • have always enjoyed your videos! keep it up Val!

  • I want to hear Mr. Stinky's story.

  • You are a very talented artist. But the truth is that you get so many views and subscribers because you are a pretty girl with a cute personality. It has less to do with your work, although your art is very good. There are probably a lot of less attractive female artists who are very talented but would never get as many views as you do on youtube. It is a sad truth. Life ain't fair. But, hey - be thankful for ALL your gifts and blessings! I'm happy for your success!

  • very inspirational :)

  • I LOVE the kitty cat video xD

  • I like that video, Val. Nice. Valsartdiary was my first subscription 2 and a half years ago - keep them coming.

  • We love you the person Val, multiple personas and all. That you also are an exceptional artist who made her dream into reality, well, it's icing on the cake for all of us, yayyyy! A giant thank you to YT for making it possible for me to know you.

  • @lloydhofer aw.... a giant thank you to you guys!

  • Well, it doesn't surprise me at all that people want to buy your paintings. You are amazingly talented and I want to buy ALL of your paintings. I wish I could choose just one, but that's impossible. Right when I think I found my favorite, along comes another one, and another and another. You are my favorite artist, living or not, and that includes myself (a FORMER artist who failed to make it).

  • i love this, you are the first person i ever subscribed to!

  • Nice video and congrats on your success on yt. You have been an inspiration to me! Thank you.

  • Cat. I'm a kitty cat, and I dance dance dance, and a dance dance dance.

  • i twittered this to scott baio

  • hEY IMA KITTY KAT! AND I DANCE DANCE DANCE AND I MEOW MEOW MEOW!

  • I've Been enjoying your work for years. Thanks Val.

  • good onya val

    we love you AND ya videos.

    cheers from australia!

  • I wish i had the money to buy one of you paintings. You inspired me to paint at least on canvas. Thank you.

  • when was she on Fox news?!

  • I love you Val!!! Make more videos!!! =)

    You're such an inspiration!!

  • Val, You are one of the funniest, most creative people on youtube. I look foward to every episode of your art adventures. To me a true artists doesnt just paint what is relevant or stuff that they know people like. A true artist creates from the heart, and doesnt care if people like it or not, just as long as you the artist do. You are in my top five favorite youtubers, and you inspire me to make my own special art. Your friend and fan: stigmabuster22

  • Val, you are 5 stars, we love you, and I am so happy that you are a successful artist (and alive at the same time, lol XD)

  • its soo pedestrian!.. i loved your videos and I am soo happy that i found you to follow the awesome ride!

  • YO GO GIRL! Keep it going!

  • @CyberPirate83 thanks!!!

  • You are my most favorite person on youtube! Dont ever think about leaving it! Or i'd have no reason to go on the internet anymore =(

  • WE ALL LOVE YOU VAL !!!!!!

  • Congrats Val!

    Been watching your vids every Sunday for a very long time. Great to see how far you have come along as an artist! Hope to continue watching your vids for many years more!

  • Valsartdiary videos were some of the first YouTube videos I ever saw when I first found out about YouTube. What a great way to start the YouTube experience. You are a super cool artist, Val.

  • Nice :) We love you <3

  • @RampageMG <3 love you back- thx for helping my dream1!!!

  • I remember when I subscribed, i think the video had something to do with cake!!

  • @Skiddla hahaha i bet it did!

  • Hello,Val.

    I hope you realise, both of your dreams are happening. By using You Tube, to show how you do your painting, you are both a preforming artist, and a painter.

    Nice. Thanks for being here.

  • @Blargaldalien thanks!!!

  • Live that dream, Val! LIVE IT! Don't make me come over there.

  • @TheReceptionist <3 thanks! haha but u r welcome to come over!!!

  • Aw, that's so inspirational! No "Eat Your Cookies" at the end, though :P

  • you're so adorable!

  • Val, you were one of my FIRST subscriptions ever on YouTube. I have watched your channel grow and have gotten a lot of happiness from it.  Hope your career continues to grow and grow too. I'm with the others that miss your Sunday painting vids. Take care!

  • Holy cow, I didn't know you had over 20 million views. Wow!

    I'm very happy to see your success on YT. I've learned more about art from your passion for it, and I also feel like I got to kno
