I didn’t go to art school and now I’m a full time artist. In this relaxing art vlog, I’m answering lots of questions about becoming a full time artist, different types of income streams for artists, and my best advice for anyone wanting to make art for a living! I’ll also include footage from my trip to Washington D.C. and a little watercolor painting sketch of the Smithsonian Institute Building.
