ART Business Realities - Studio VLOG

A wonderful video of your thoughts and processes. I, for one, will definitely buy one of your pieces when completed. Love the Gelli prints and you could consider selling those also as collage papers. Don’t get discouraged and try to push through those doubts. I an a fabric nut and also have stacks of fabrics just like you have with papers.

I can relate with everything you have said. Keep going when you feel better.

Get well soon lovely Lisa . Love from Australia

If the little ones take as much time to create or more then the price should reflect that. I charge x for a4 art, 2x for A3 and 4x for A2. But each size takes me that much more time to cover.

Those gelli prints were beautiful.

You are so cool and funny ❤ I really enjoy your videos and love your art ... Sending you a lot of hugs😊

Thank you for sharing this. Go to bed then keep going.

I'm a retired illustrator who specialized in drawing people for educational materials. My post-retirement watercolour paintings were very time-consuming. I sold a few thousand dollars worth after jumping through all the hoops, then set about finding freelance work. Another even fussier medium I poured myself into was realistic embroidered florals. The only way that made me any money was taking the snarky advice of a gallery owner to take photos of them and make note cards. That was 15 years ago when there were still enough living old ladies who sent snail mail and appreciated needlework. Generally the only way to make any money making art that doesn't require training in drawing is to give workshops where you set participants up with enough attractive elements that they can't fail.

Starting with color, it's a great way to get to a subject. Placing a small into a larger frame as in a double framed piece really makes for an interesting look. Did U help with homework? Ann,

I know your pain, my hubby tells me l take procrastinating to a whole new level! . I tend to go for the size that is easier for me to process. Maybe you should try to just think about one process at a time, rather than fill your head with a whole to do list every time you sit down to create. Once l accepted that the boring bit ,is just that and do fewer at a time. Maybe just one color way. I think you will be surprised your style is unusual,which is a positive. Keep going and breathe x

Love your channel. Watched almost all your videos. Fellow artist here planning to share on YouTube soon too. I have very similar struggles! Can you share what microphone you use, I noticed how great your sound is on your shorts! Thanks!

I’m thinking you’re applying different standards to these b3cause you’re going to sell them. You MIGHT be thinking about what people want to see, rather than what you like!
