3 Secrets of a Professional Artist! Can you make a living from selling art?

Or just all my secrets rolled into one tutorial!!  BAHAHA! These drawing videos all so fun to make, if you can see this on video here, if not it's also available on YouTube.

Secret 1: 

A good photograph is the root to any painting! Find the magic in the photo first! Make friends with photographers and trade, that is our BIG tip! When creatives support one another extraordinary things can happen! 

Secret 2: 

Don't believe in the stereotype of artists can only make a living selling art. Some of the most successful creatives I know are multifaceted. Set up multiple income streams to depend on one to save from burnout! 

Secret 3: 

You have to say the same thing multiple times in different ways for anyone to notice. 8 times is how you send the same message to your clientel and audience. Get inventive and creative how you can say the same thing over an over without repetition! 

EXAMPLE: 

• Reel on instagram or tiktok showing process 
• Narrative blog story or post of how and why you are doing something
• Video like this with creating with voiceover
• Images still images of something in a catalogue view 
• Podcasts and interviews
• Before and after shots or video

Secret 4:

Self care. To best take care of others you must take care of yourself. Make time for you. Your creativity will flow when you are rested! 

EXAMPLE:

• Reading
• Walking
• Taking a warm bath
• Yoga
• or just sitting, laying or napping.
