[sebasthechecka]

[egyptchannels]

[salvtrooper113]

i love how you say pop

[theBoynamedMatt]

Nice calla lilies, right? "Majestic beauty and modesty" , quite appropriate :P ...i learn about flowers for a girl once, the girl is gone but i still have flowers :(

[xdeadwaterx]

are you french? either way i like your paintings and your sense of humor

[luckyclover012]

youre amzing

[kurapica404]

totally love the painting...nice colours, love it love it love it

[jndesguise]

cool video and beautiful painting.

[ianboggs]

Do you not feel that organization could be a killer of spontaneity?

I think that to organize a painting per week and the video is a worthy accomplishment by itself. I worry that if you were to become too organized, some of the humor and life might be lost from both.

[ianboggs]

. The collection of ideas and concepts you bring together from all over the place is one of the things you do that keeps my attention and interest. I'd hate for you to become one of the boring people. I love what you do as it is and as it goes and grows. It is an inspiration for me in my new career direction, and I thank you for it.

[Tucknrollgrampa]

Oh wow, I love this painting!!!

[artemisfair]

BEAUTIFUL! I love it! I wish I could have bought it.

[untouchabl85]

"What do you wear around the house? House slippers? Well, I wear booooots!!!!!!" LMAO!

[fennel18]

hi val, watching ur videos makes me want to sketch!

i think thats what ill go n do now

bye!

[k2dreamer]

Val, you are a very joyful woman! Love watching you paint and talk about life! Val, what is your nationality? Spanish?

[valsartdiary]

I'll never tell... he he ;)

[Pan3405]

Dear Valsart,

My daughter studies Art in Utrecht and is obsessed bij Spain (she has never been there) and is now searching for people who can help her making her way in the world of art and help her to discover Spain to get inspired bij people, architecture and the colours of this country. Do you have advice for her?

Love,.

Pan3405

[aydonis]

I like bare feet at home.

Green Tea is gross, although it is good for you, try peppermint tea... I think that has a much better taste or chamomile tea with some honey.

At the beginning of your videos you always have a short very beautiful guitar solo... I know it's a classic, but what is it called?

[electricalel]

my favourite painting of yours)

[Purpelblur]

I LOVE ALL OF YOUR Vids!...not to mention your art is great! Could you please post more on deviantART...they don't have to be prints....I'd like to fav them all!! Preety pwease with cookies on top!!!???? :)

Also, Arizona Green Tea is great! It comes in a gallon jug.

[valsartdiary]

thanks :)

There is a "eat your cookies" section on deviantART:P

I know I have to update the last coupleof paintings :)

[Purpelblur]

There is such a section? Do you mean in the galleries?

[shinypantss]

rock on!

[AmateurAstronaut]

Nice symbolism with the flowers. And your muscles are not that big but it's okay :)

[valsartdiary]

what are you talking about?

:P

[AmateurAstronaut]

haha sorry... I guess it could be lean muscle. Like a dancer etc.

[Danieltheartist]

My only Resolutions is to get a g/f... and do artwork like there is no tommorow and I'm going to die 24 hours from now!!!! --God Bless--

[pechonalidad]

these are so professional! well done

[angelenethesecond]

That painting is SOO COOL!

[Dreestwd]

Simplemente....tu eres el ejemplo de debe ser la mujer.

[cristina1555]

De verdad me gustan tus videos... quisiera ser tan intelligente como usted! Eres unica y muy original creo que tmb por eso me gustan mucho tus videos. Keep up the AMAZING good work! :) By the way... why do you have two "The Thing" gloves? jajaja! oh.. and I love your random conversations and silly noises!

[ZooyorQ]

Pop! I love it! Funny how it sounds when you hear someone else say it. Everyone gave me crap when I originally moved from Minneapolis, MN to San Francisco.. I'd say pop and I would never hear the end of their joking.. now I say Soda and hearing others say Pop is funny! Where in the midwest are you living!? Oh I know.. you'll never say! :(

[bille2588]

Trader Joes has non sweetened green tea in a bottle for $0.99 and it is good. I love all of your videos they make me smile.

[christopherbankston]

I go naked in my house. I'm really pedestrian.

Great video and great painting.

[christjewells]

Yeah... what kind of lighting? and i'm barefoot in my house. people who don't go barefoot are pedestrian.

[81538]

one more cool video..and how about the green tea..are you still drinking it??the painting is good. LOL you look nice on that tread mill thing..

[jdlocal26]

Val, you seem to know what you're doing with camera and lighting, not to mention the art, of coarse you know what you are doing there. If I may ask, what type of lighting do you use for your video's?

[flamingo9876]

How long have u been painting??? ur really good !!!!! and ur humor!!!!

[simonboyd123]

I'm sure you love VanGogh. Am I right?

[butterfliepaola]

I WANT TO BE YOU WHEN I GET OLDER!!

[peterskynard]

Val you need to buy Wyler's light iced tea with peach 0g carbs 5 calories and SUGAR FREE.They come in little cup's,add water.You find them in the jewel at the end of the yogurt aisle.Crystal light tea is also real good but does cost more,you might have already tryied them,OH well.Keep up the great work.

[khristarantula]

You are very, very talented! Your paintings are my favourite artworks of all time! They just have something so special in them. They have fairytales, dreams and freedom in them. I believe they mirror you. When I look at your artwork I get this harmonised feeling inside, the emotion of total peace.

Thank you for your wonderful episodes and magnificent art, Val! :)

[YASVAL]

In Algeria, they use chinese Green Tea to make the mint tea and it is absolutely delicious and sweet. I got recipe if you want

[Iravele]

do you know how cool it would be if you were on TV?I love your art & ur humor

[hamolina]

I think she's so much better than that guy on PBS who teaches painting. The white guy with the afro!

[MyPuppyBaby1234]

Peppermint tea is good put in honey,

[Sally1590]

Your paintings are vivid and brilliant. Beautiful! Do you find it difficult to let go of them? Do you keep copies for yourself? Do you have any paintings you keep for yourself?

[ShamanKing2100]

Keep drinking that green tea, it's magical stuff.

Have you tried Dilmah brand green tea? It's the world's finest. Also, try grating some lemon zest into the brew, it might taste nicer and it's extra good for you.

I love your work!

[Steven5197]

love it, right on.

[pcloopy]

green tea with vanilla

[PatrickStarfish666]

Hi,You are so charming! I'm actually very tired but you made me staying awake ;)

[Drakot]

[Sarsington]

Dilmah green tea all the way.

[lonelygirll15]

You are just cuter then a lady bug :)

[KrnBlackWannabe]

The painting and the painter was beautiful.

[gollumsalterego]

You are beautiful, have a beautiful accent, and make beautiful paintings. I like boots, too.

[valsartdiary]

thanks so much!

have great weekend!

[JonPatric]

Hi Val, Love your humour, video, painting and boots. Oh Yes "Eat Your Cookies!" ;)

[777doom]

Lol people are now trying to say that these episodes are made from a team in New Zealand! Yeah right, i think ure skill in painting is amazing. How long does it take you to paint say the one from this resolution episode, in hours. They must be worth alot!

[stephychua]

like everyone else.. i'll say the same.. i love ur paintings darling!

anyway, ur top actually matches ur sofa! green/pink!

[iglor]

yes yes come closer to the camera young lady. Yes! a little further down yes yes yessssss yesssss

[mate1984]

Its not actually a real diary, its all directed by a team in New Zeland :P

[valsartdiary]

ha ha! I wish I had a team from New Zealand do all the work for me

[lightb8lb]

Val: you are HOT. And a great artist...

[agentleelee]

Pop is so great, I feel you pain and even share it. Thanks for the videos, they have made my dat a little brighter. Keep having fun and living life.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

I don't know how you do that... talking to the camera with so much enthusiasm.. you're truly beautiful in every way :D

[777doom]

Are you half French? You speak english but in french accent, if your french they are supposed to be very good artists and if your English your good anyway

[arvin91]

i really like your video effects

[ISmellLikeASexyGuy]

"give you a poosh"

[akscooch]

Hi Val,

I love your painting and your videos. You are like a small sunshine each time I hear your voice and see how you work. It's nice. You should try hybiscus tea- make it in the fridge- put 4 tea bags in a pitcher overnight- YUM!

[Fulumirani]

I'm afraid to make resolutions too. So this year, I called them *wishes*. Less pressure, more whimsical, makes me feel happier...your video served as a nice boost in reminding me to make my "wishes" come true. thanks, and beautiful painting. The colours and layering are amazing!

[lilchrisroxxx]

your art is BEAUTIFUL! i wish i was that talented. Keep up the good work! =)

[undacovaBrudah06]

You so pretty!

[TheAgent001]

Val,

You are a wonderful person and a brilliant artist. Your Resolutions painting is one of the most inspiring pieces of art I have ever seen! I wish I had even just a little dash of your drive and inspiration.

Thank you for being you and for sharing your talent with us!

P.S. How do you do your hair? It always looks so messily gorgeous! I want the same! :o)

Looking forward to your next painting! Rosy xxx

[valsartdiary]

wow

thanks soooo much for your kind words.

In my opinion everybody has inspiration :P

-The hair is better I got a haircut and a brush...

so no more val lion king

:) val

[mikaba2000]

You rock sister!! I really love your art...it is so inspiring. Your video reminded me of my resolutions, we share alot of the same ones. I haven't really started on them yet but watching your video makes me feel like I should get on it too!  Your video also makes me want to learn to play the guitar that has been collecting dust since my last birthday and finally learn to paint (something I've always wanted to do but never had the courage). Thank you!!! Have a fabulous New Year!!

[satyricsoul]

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a false messiah.

- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" by Richard Bach

[tihama]

yOur SUCH an amazing Artist! Inspiring.

[rslv]

Looking forward to following your work and random craziness over the next year (no pressure!)

You seem like such a warm and loving person. If you don't stop blinking at the camera there is a risk I'll develop a minor e-crush on you! ;)

Take care.

[shoecow]

good use of shape very distinctive

[jimmyyankee]

i like the intro of the video - (bein , love)

etc.

hi

The following commit is directed at whoregay and any other like minded ilk.

[marave1]

Se te nota lo peruana...

[boomfire8263]

[derkapellmeister]

You know...this is one of the more pleasant chance encounters I have ever come across...

This is a good thing...

[Jimbodiny]

I'm going to own one of your paintings one day = that is a kind of resolution.

[jimmanjones]

Lol, this is something quite funny. I like how you dont take out your bloopers. It makes it funny. Good luck on your paintings. They are very nice!

[tone717171]

Mmm such a warm, gorgeous, sexy, good painter

[Raven5629]

Was really cool to watch the painting develop...beautiful!

[SexyBannanaFone]

You are a very very good artist! The best I would say. I would buy that painting!

[whoregay]

I want to have sex with you.

[ttakdliw]

[SeverYaHead]

i guess 25 was too high...maybe you're more about 22 or 23...are you married?...

[fmunky]

Easily my favorite one yet. Alas, I am but a poor college student.

[tone717171]

val is perfect, so just carry on as you are

[oxforddragracer]

LOVE IT!!! ERin

[spin58]

Don't you dare change your accent. You speak very good English and are not at all hard to understand. Your accent is "one" of the most endearing things about you.

[Faldrick]

You are by far one of the most unique girls I have ever seen.

[thegreatgood]

Hi Val, I love your videos, your art speaks alot about who you are and can't wait to see next weeks Episode...

[bgpiper]

Hi Val, I like watching your art diary, and I just wanted to let you know that you are a great person (from what I can see). I like to drink juice mixed with iced tea, or just mixed with water, pretty tasty, and relatively low in calories.

Eat Your cookies, bgpiper

[valsartdiary]

i'll give that a try, thank you

[tone717171]

you are such a nice,bubbly beautiful person

[Cal0yski]

Nice "thing" Gloves... ;) really now, is this all you do? paint paint paint?

[xgobobeanx]

ooo i like you.. i just found you and subscribed!

Jill

[VivaToddVegas]

I didn't quite catch what you were saying at 2:13?? Regardless, you are so engaging... the way you speak about your art, and the way you speak about life. You seem to have a lot of insight for someone I'm guessing is in her early 20s. I find watching your creative process to be inspiring. I hope you keep your resolution to paint and post once a week! I enjoy your videos very much.

[valsartdiary]

ha ha, sorry, I'm trying to work on my accent to make things easier to understand... what I meant to say is that I have gotten more support and encouragement from you guys (the viewers) than I have ever gotten in my life :)

sorry for making things hard to understand sometimes. I actually considered adding subtitles before but that would take waaaay to long and I'm already spending ridicoulous amounts of time making these videos. I'll work on my accent. cheers! :)

[VivaToddVegas]

I actually love your accent, just missed what you were saying. I think it's awesome that you get so much encouragement from YouTube. I notice you receive very few negative responses compared to most other YouTubers. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad. Keep it up!

[scaryanddamagedfreak]

Val you are absolutely amazing

[tino2214]

smart way get your painting seen plus good video

[YlladYnot]

such a lovely painting as always! Don't tell me one of your resolutions is no more milka chocolate! =(

that would be sad!

Looking forward to your next video! (Since you have a blast making them, in turn I have a blast watching them! XD!!)

[valsartdiary]

I never said "no milka chocolate"! Maybe I'll try to cut down but to stop eating it... that'd be crazy talk.

[IntrovertGuy]

Put your money in honey. (1 tsp)

Buddha Bless

[cpp1]

Val, your posts are probably the most professionally done on YouTube. It's like watching something on HGTV. Gracias por fijación. Muy bueno!

[stevexcraig]

Have you ever worked on 2 pieces at once? One you care about and one you don't. The one you don't care about sometimes comes out better. I think your paintings are too sweet, maybe messier and angier would be better. Keep up the good work.

[merese]

Why is there always a weird sound when you "play" with those weird boxing gloves???

[valsartdiary]

the gloves make that sound! it's hilarious ... ok maybe a bit annoying :P

[hithatsmybike]

beautiful as always Val!!

[Aurore1450]

I love Lipton's Diet Citrus Green Tea... The citrus really makes it taste better... Hope that helps you.

[000FoxSnake000]

Oh, and I'm glad to hear one of your resolutions is to continue making more videos. ( :

[000FoxSnake000]

Oh cool! I don't know of any good green tea, but I definetly know of some good tea. Its called vanilla nut cream and its from the company stash. Its like a dessert tea and your supposed to add milk and sugar to it. I thought that might ween you off of your sugar/pop addiction lol!

[valsartdiary]

any idea where i can get it?

[rhythm7a]

I just find it fascinating to watch you paint and talk about what the painting means to you. I'm glad to hear you're going to keep making videos. I resolve to watch them haha. Good luck with that green tea thing. How about water? Don't you like water?

[valsartdiary]

I love your resolution!  Expect me to yell at you if you're slacking ha ha :)

[SeverYaHead]

you're around 25 right?

[valsartdiary]

... depends on your definition of "around" :P

[apugirl4747]

Wow, I LOVE this painting!

[electrikninja]

that was pretty..i love the bright colors :)

[princessputter]

wow you do amazing work

[Mangotropolis]

Total coolness! I lufff this one x3

[moxiethedog]

Another inspiring video! Hey, can we still get an "Eat Your Cookies" T-shirt? You're the best, Val!  Thank you for sharing your talent and thoughts with us.

[valsartdiary]

sure... go to my website for details! Thank you so much for watching!

[makofuuit]

you did an awesome job with this one, when i first saw it i didn't really know what to expect from it. Pero mija, it looks awesome!!!!

[Jimbodiny]

I will make flowers bloom for me this year!!! Thank you very much Val (starting tomorrow ok?)

[EdwardElricFangirl]

love your art! your an inspiration! I love writing and stuff like that. I was never much of a painter. I want to make a series of vids like this, but with my hobbies I don't know how to make vids like this. Any suggestions? Message me if you do!

[rohicks]

woo another from gorgeous val!

Have a good 07 also ... and couldn't possibly yell at someone with such a sweet personality as you, but the doing 1 episode a week is exciting to hear ;)

[TES4Akis]

Wow, you never get to dissapoint me with your paintings. I love everything you are doing!

I want to be an artist like you!!! =)

[ILoveAprilSixth]

I love this painting....it is very beautiful!

[jgershenson]

i love all your work! good luck with your resolutions

[HappinessAndMorphine]

There is a Green Tea that is pretty good by Celestial...something... I forget.

This painting is now my favorite! If I werent totally broke I would go and get a print of it or something. But again Im broke! ha.

[Lorentzdearabia]

Yo le comía to las peras.

[OctopusClub]

I realy like the Eat Your Cookie sequence. I'd like to see more of that.

Octopus Club

[HappinessAndMorphine]

There is a Green Tea that is pretty good by Celestial...something... I forget.

This painting is now my favorite! If I werent totally broke I would go and get a print of it or something. But again Im broke! ha.

[hanson1387]

this is my favorite painting out of all of your episodes. i love the colors you used and how you make so many changes on the canvas. im afraid to make changes...or just too lazy, so you inspire me!

ps: i love your butterfly shirt too!

[tabphotography]

great work now get on with your 1 a week painting...

[rickh33a]

Nice video editing! What programs are you using?

[valsartdiary]

thanks, I use Final Cut Pro. I talk about editing quite a lot in Episode 6. Check it out. I also made a page on my website with my software editing recomendation. I also list some tutorials I used to learn how to edit. Just go to my webiste. best, val

[killmaster]

what are you turkish, greek, italian.

[frankyfingers]

Nanana... what do you wanna tell us with the shot at 0:53? ;P

[edgaritoaqui]

very sexy!! call me!! Wow!

[toolrights]

great painting/video. the painting is probably one of my favs that you done thus far. hope you keep your new years resolution, means I get more videos to watch :)

[sillyhousewife]

Green Tea with Mint....yummy!! :)

[faintstarlite]

This one is probably my least favorite painting but as always, I enjoyed watching the process - your videos are inspiring.

[adrieleduardo]

yeah i agree with you it myleast favorite but isnt she so addictive?? and my money is still on "dolly"

[shtoopid1]

you look good for 105 yrs old :)

[itfelldown]

I always look forward to your videos, beautiful!

[neildw]

Resolutions are the hardest thing, it's like self-sacrificing yourself! Telling yourself to do something is not easy, but if you commit yourself to it and you succeed, you'll get better from it!

Good luck & beautifull strength

[neildw]

Oh my god....

[dramaddy]

maybe you can teach us how you blend colors so beautifuly. :D

[dramaddy]

wow. that was my favorite painting. I just wanted to say thank you for that becaaauuuuuse.... I been going through a lot of sh*t and I made big goals for myself. Me trying to attend high school and college soon. I'm getting really discouraged and nervous...

The painting was absolutely beautiful and a bit encouraging so thank you for that.

[glasshouse2000]

Wow- that's my favorite so far. It's beautiful Val!

[YourLocaliPod]

I love what you did with the patterns benieth the eyes. Haha good job on workin' out, I can see your muscles starting to grow...dont forget to...EAT YOUR COOKIES =p not too many though

[Caesar375]

I just wanted to thank you for makeing these video's. I saw your vedio yesterday and just had to watch all of them. They brighten my day and inspire all. I am even tempted to make a resolution even though Im a week late. I truely hope to see another video from you next week.

[valsartdiary]

C'mon! It's never too late to make a resolution!

[krowanders]

Beautiful. I've always dreamed of having skills like that! Maybe next week, you could do something for the soldiers? Not just the U.S. soldiers, but all of the soldiers all over the world. It doesn't have to be soldiery to represent the soldiers, though. Perhaps a painting that embodies all of the things back home that they miss. Just a suggestion! I like to throw ideas out there. I'm an idea guy. =D

[Caesar375]

I dont know about a tribute to soldiers, but I do have to admit the idea of a picture of home poped in my head as well before I even finished reading you post. Something for all those far away from home. Either way she is doing a fine job, anything she chooses to paint allways turns out as beautiful as she is.

[krowanders]

I agree.

[JR88]

I LUV U VaL!

[winkandsmile820]

Your videos always make me smile! Thanks for brightening my day!

[Sequoya]

Hey Val you're so inspiring. I love how you include fresh, colorful, and beautiful flowers in all of your videos. It's probably a part of your everyday life, but it's added a lot of color to mine.

Thanks

[valsartdiary]

Wnd you just inspired my next episode with this comment. well.. partially at least. Really! check back on Sunday! Thank you so much for watching.

[flamesgal21]

that painting turned out beautiful! I think it's my favorite so far.

I decided t drink less pop too but instead i drink water with a bit of lemon and ice in it. try that, its pretty good!

[valsartdiary]

lemon and ice, huh? that actually sounds pretty good

[uzutake]

Hey Val! I just love your video diaries, and they've inspired me to be more artistic and expressive in everything I do. Now about the video: As of all of your art, this painting is beautiful. I would definitely bid on it(and all of your paintings as well) if only my parents would let me. NOt much a 13 year old can do ;__;I also think that your Resolutions are great ones, and I for one hope you keep to them! Plus, a painting a week means that there'll be at least a video a week, no? :D
