In the video I&#8217;m using a large fake leaf to swat paint onto the walls of my sunroom to get a nice leaf pattern\/texture. I posted it in the middle of the night and woke up to discover it had over 26k views and tons of engagement. I was overwhelmed and excited by that number but it just keep ticking up all day long. By the end of the day it had almost 200,000 views. It&#8217;s now been three days and it has over half a million views!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a really positive experience because the video spurred a lot of humorous and creative discussion. It made some people laugh, lots of people wrote funny comments, and so many people said they help inspired to paint, and possible even try this technique.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mistnlove\/video\/7400301908277120287\" data-video-id=\"7400301908277120287\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@mistnlove\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mistnlove?refer=embed\">@mistnlove<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Painting with Plants, Part 4 <a title=\"painting\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/painting?refer=embed\">#painting<\/a> <a title=\"homeimprovement\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/homeimprovement?refer=embed\">#homeimprovement<\/a> <a title=\"plants\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/plants?refer=embed\">#plants<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"cksunroom\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cksunroom?refer=embed\">#cksunroom<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c orijinal ses - arkeolog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/orijinal-ses-6845625159894797062?refer=embed\">\u266c orijinal ses &#8211; arkeolog<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>UPDATES<\/h2>\n<p>If you see any of my videos spotted around the web let me know so I can add them to this list.<\/p>\n<p>A running list of where my videos have been shared around the web.<\/p>\n<h3>UNILad\u2019s Channels<\/h3>\n<p>TYLA \u2013 Painting with Plans; 8\/15\/24, 2:30 pm<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fb.watch\/u7oD69ileD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TYLA \u2013 Facebook Page<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lessonslearnedinlife\/videos\/1211264530296947\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lessons Learned in Life | Painting with Plants<\/a>; 8\/18\/24, 6pm (Facebook Page)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week, I posted some videos of me painting my sunroom on one of my TikTok channels and one of them very quickly went viral.
