painting, starting a business, being an artist | a chatty studio vlog

Let's get chatty ~

This is a long one isn't it? It's been a minute since I uploaded a longer studio vlog. I'm actually looking back at some of my old studio vlogs right now and this is actually the longest one in well over a year...so I hope you enjoy alllll of the many things I apparently had to say in this vlog lol.

We're talking frustrations with painting, digging holes, starting a business, being an artist, realizing you're like your parents. Really covering all of the bases I think. Fun!

For real this was an exciting week for me but also just incredibly overwhelming. It didn't need to be but change is JUST as scary as it is exciting and that's OKAY. I made it through. I painted a lot. I listened to folklore. I chatted. A lot.

Yesterday I picked up a couple of different panels and canvases to paint on so get READY to see me struggle to paint my first collection, figure out how to do commissions, try to develop my branding even further, and more really fun really scary #StartingAnArtBusiness things. If you're not already you can sign up for my newsletter to receive little bites of updates with all of my fun experimentations and learnings that I'll be getting up to in the studio. It's fun. We're excited. I'm we.

I'll stop rambling now thanks for reading and thanks for watching!

love! av
