Tell us a little about YOU.
This is going to be a pinned post for introductions. Please let us know 🌎 Where in the world are you? I find it so cool that we are so international. 🌱 What kind of art experience do you have? Elementary school all the way to I paint almost daily is all cool. 🖌️ Have you ever tried Oil Paints before?

@Kate Bullock thank you
Please share THE MOST IMPORTANT Artsy thing in your space.
Not the most expensive. Not the “fanciest.” The one you actually love. It can be: - An original - A print - A poster - Something you made - Something someone gave you - Something you bought. Heck… it could be something you found at a yard sale and refuse to part with 😆 📸 Snap a pic and drop it here - What it is - Why you love it - What it means to you Because THAT… is what art is actually about.

@Michelle Cyr yeah I did it. A lot of my paintings come from pain. Ruff growing up had my son at 19 and over a decade drug use three years sober now I spent the last three years consistently fighting for my life everyone never loved me or that I loved. I had to let go so I could live. I’ve buried so many of my friends in the last three years. Plus being sober opened up a whole new wave of feelings and trying to understand them. So I don’t know exactly (layers of pain layers of paint)

HERE’S THE PLAN!
Alright… I’ve got an idea and I need your input 😆 I’m thinking about going LIVE 2–3 days a week 🎬 ✨ One hour sessions 🎨 Different painting each time ⏳ We go until the painting is complete 🎬 Here’s the twist: 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢 🟢 🟢 LIVE sessions = FREE - early bird gets the worm and gets to ask questions. 🟢 🔒 Replays = inside Premium (currently only $9/month) 🟢 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢 So if you can’t make it live you still get access to 3 full painting demos every month 🎉 Honestly…I am so excited! 🔥 It feels so much better to talk to you all instead of a green dot on the camera. I really need you all! 💬 But before I do this… What times are best for YOU? I would like to have a kind of consistent schedule so here is your chance. Tell me what is best for you. I’m thinking like Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (open to suggestions) 🌅 Morning 🌤 Afternoon 🌙 Evening And I have to know what time zone are you in? I will plot out all the requests and pick the best times for everyone. OK GO!

What does 🤲🏻 “Trust the Process” 🤲🏻 mean to you❓
Here is what the lifecycle of my professional paintings looks like: 🎉 I have an awesome idea!!!!!! 🖼️🖼️ I can’t wait to get it on canvas 🤔🤔🤔 Hmmm… I’m not sure about this 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Omg this is horrible. I’m not even sure I should be in this profession. 🤔🤔🤔 Well… ok… this might be alright 🖼️🖼️ Wow… this actually turned out OK! 🎉 Oh, I am excited to share this one! Every❕ Single❕ Time❕ Sometimes, you have to go thru the motions. Keep going. Continue doing the thing that you learned even though it FEELS wrong. 🫨 DON’T PANIC 🛑 DON’T GIVE UP 🟢 KEEP GOING!!!!! We have to release our expectations a little bit. Loosen up the reigns. Sometimes it means taking a break and picking it up again tomorrow. And that is PERFECTLY OK!!! 💬 Have you ever quit something halfway through because you hated it? If your painting looks terrible halfway through… congratulations. You’re doing it like a Pro!
