This is the story of how I quit my job to become a fulltime artist and make a living doing what I love: making oil paintings. I'm also sharing the time lapse of the first noncommissioned oil painting I made after taking the leap to paint fulltime, and talking about the steps you can take to go fulltime if that's a dream of yours.

If you want to hear more about my first few months as a fulltime artist, check out my follow up video:    • My First 6 Months as a Full Time Artist
