Relaxing Watercolor Duck Illustration ✨🎨 Seeking Happiness Through stuff

Описание: In this quiet art vlog, I reflect on my relationship with happiness, shopping, and the patterns I’ve noticed in myself over the years.

During the holiday season, I found myself asking a familiar question — does owning more things actually make me happy, or am I trying to fill a gap by buying stuff instead of sitting with myself?

As an architect turned artist, my art practice has helped me slow down enough to recognise these patterns. Through simple moments — walking by the riverside, watching ducks and swans move gently through the water, and later painting them in the studio — I’ve learned to choose experience over accumulation.

This video isn’t about perfection or deprivation. I’m still a work in progress. But art has taught me how to pause, observe, and invest my energy in growth, learning, and presence rather than instant dopamine.

If you enjoy slow living, mindful creativity, mixed media art, and reflective vlogs without rushing, I hope this video feels like a quiet place to rest.

Thank you for being here 🤍
