FULL TIME ARTIST MAKING A LIVING - pricing, marketing and selling my art plus mental health Q&A
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- Full-time artist - making a living, low productivity, selling, marketing and pricing artwork, as well as mental health and well-being topics which are so relevant right now during the lockdown times. I made this video over the last 2 weeks to answer as many of your questions as possible. And, during this time, I have been having a very bumpy ride with lots of ups and downs. Even days where I have just given myself complete permission to stay in bed all day to recharge my energy levels. I hope you are doing ok out there, or something even better. I'm sending so much love and big soft virtual hugs, especially soft during these weird, unsettling days. Having this RUclips community right now is really helping me not feel so alone in all this, so thank you so much for being here and keeping me in such good company.
As always, thanks so much for watching,
Loads of love Wendy Xx

How to get your work... Iam from India..
I really enjoy your chats about your life and art. I didn’t get into much art with painting until 50 yr old - 81 now and feel lots more of life to live. The pandemic and months of snow and not being with any people have made me think this isn’t the way I thought my last years would be. I’m having trouble being motivated to use all these lovely art supplies I’ve accumulated. So moved to a beautiful mountain town and just waiting for what’s next? Better I hope. 81 feels like 61 except for stiff knees. Thanks for your good energy. Washington state, USA
I hope I feel 61 when I'm 81! You sound lovely and I hope you've made some ni e friends in your mountain village.🙂
I to started at 50 with Art and I’m 74 now ,I love Wendy’s chats,I also have lots of supplies but need to knuckle down,have hardly painted the last few yrs but watch lots of art stuff and read my art books,im in the uk ,I just came back from visiting my son in USA and actually painted a couple of small pics there I even watched Wendy when I was there as well .
The road noise can be "white noise". A constant reminder of life going on......enjoy it.!!!!!! Love watching you and your videos.
And music will lessen the effect too 👍🏽
Yes! Tracing! That’s how I learnt to draw as a little girl in the 1970s. Every time my mum baked I would beg pieces of grease proof paper and trace pictures from my Mandy and Judy comics and Famous five books and my princess Tina ballet books. I have such lovely memories of those times, always drawing and illustrating and writing stories, by the time I was ten I was writing 100 page stories.
absolutely not "too long" ... your vids are like a really good book, i always want more and feel a bit disappointed when it's over .... this was especially inspiring, i am off to clean my space, take a shower & then sit down to create .... grateful, thank you, sweetie
syrahlover, This comment is absolutely lovely ❤️
I feel like that too. Hate for them to end...like a good book.
When I lived in London I used to pretend that the traffic sounds was the sea!
That´s a cool idea :D
I used to do that too!
love that!
Going through a down time and watching you is inspiring me in two ways! 1) importance of giving self permission to take breaks, and 2) creating a schedule that gives a joyful structure (feelings of accomplishment)! Blessed and warm safe days!
I so love hearing other glorious “real life as a full time artist” stories even though I too am a full time artist. It’s good to hear how my fellow makers are doing it, the ups and the downs. It’s all so relatable and good to hear.💕ok, now I gotta watch the rest of the video😂
Yes! me too! Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy it xxx
The COVID Blues are having an effect on me now, too. An underlying sadness is ever present. Our winters are long, too. I think when spring comes, it will help. Pushing through to create anyway.
The plant, money tree, or jade plant is 'crassula ovata'. I love all your plants in the windows. I have to keep most of mine (including several jade plants) in the kitchen window for the most part because otherwise, my cats think I've opened the salad bar. I need to get more hanging plants like your spider plants. :)
I love watching your channel!! Your voice is so soothing to my soul and your thoughts are often ones.that have not come from my heart. Iit is a very healing place for me.
I haven’t watched it completely, but oh goodness am I excited! You’ve helped me rediscover what I love- and that is to create.
You are a wonderful soul and an amazing mentor/teacher. I’m really glad (and feel lucky) to have stumbled upon your channel.
Sending love xx🌻
Hope you enjoy it Cassandra, thanks so much for such a heartwarming comment too xxx
When my kids were very young nap time was a time I gave myself to paint. I have never been swayed by the idea that when I am on my death bed I will regret the washing and cleaning that didn't get done. As they got older I used to spread out bits of paper glue paint and any odds and ends and we would all do stuff together. Perhaps it wasn't exactly what I would of done alone but we made great memories and it gave me a creative outlet. So when they left home I thought...right let's paint...then along come the grandchildren!!🤣 It is hard and frustrating at times. But you will have more time and enjoy this time with the children as the time flies by so quickly.
Sending my love and good energy to Wendy and everyone else out there struggling to navigate this extended lockdown. It's a bumpy ride, that's for sure!! Plenty of downs and a few sweet ups.
Nice visit! Thank you for sharing, spirit, reality, and process! Blessed and safe days!
Aloha - How very kind to mention me. I truly appreciate that. Yup, continuing the deep cleaning. Time to put some effort into setting up the creativity stuff. Oh, what you call a 'money tree' is a jade plant. I have them living in the dirt here. Some are very old and our droughts have caused them to rot from within. Fortunately, they are easily started from any branch. Laying on the ground is enough to start the rooting. A fallen leaf can root. Have an excellent week. Blessings to all of us.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ happy cleaning xxx
Just remember guys we were in Transit so it's like crazy emotional rolocoster full of ups and downs.....but it will pass. We all will get settled down and then everything will be much better/happier xxxx we just have to all go through it. Good job we all got Wendy and her "gorgeous subscribers bunch" to keep each other motivated and shining xxxx 💗💗💗
Hi Wendy, so happy about the one hour video, what a treat❤! I literally refresh every few minutes every friday until your weekly video pops up, I love your content and especially your authentic personality⭐. Thank you so much for just doing what you are doing!
TY Anja, that's so amazing to here. TY for being here too, have a truly wonderful weekend xxx
Your honesty and spirit are truly healing for me. Thank you for being so brave and letting us into your life. You are amazing! ❤
Thank you for sharing your heart and art. I am encouraged. I love the fact that there are lots of others out here like you. Keep keeping on
I really look forward to your videos, it’s like having a weekly meeting with an old friend... Thank you so much xx
You've hit the nail on the head with the comparison of your day in respite (aka bed) as likened to a computer defragmenting! I understand how frustrating to be to reach that level of exhaustion, in all aspects of your being, where your body and mind work together to force you to take a break. It is such a refreshing and renewing experience that can take place, IF you allow yourself to recenter and refocus during that time.
I think that you are a beautiful, inspiring, and wonderful lady (and my three daughters feel the same about you!)
Thank you for sharing your whole world with us, not just the happy, sugarcoated, and filtered version that people think the audience desires to see. You inspire me with every video to keep going, keep learning, and keep teaching in spite of my disability. So, again, I sincerely appreciate you and thank you for all that you do! Be well and be blessed. Wishing you all the best!
I truly enjoyed the Q and A Chat from your Art studio! I had been pretty busy for the past three or four days running errands mostly. Thanks for mentioning about putting your Art out there. That's just what I need to do with my Art-put it out there in a small Art Gallery in my neighborhood! I will try to cone up with a question or two.. Love your cup! ☕
Love your channel. Your an inspiration as I suffer from depression and agoraphobia and its special people like you who help us others with our self care and mental health. Big hugs from Queensland Australia
Thanks for this content, it's nice to know that the funk that I feel is more universal vs. Personal. Knowing that others are in a creative rut or depressive state like myself is sadly comforting. Thanks for the advise as to how to get past it. I will try those suggestions. I too suffer from lack of sleep which I feel sets the sad mood. I haven't created anything other then crochet in over a year now. I have been fighting stage 4 cancer since 2016 but am currently in remission. Oddly it was a blessing as I finally gave myself permission to create. Thanks again. I look forward to your videos.
What a lovely way to start my day. I so look forward to Friday mornings. I'm about to get a rought collie puppy - we lost our 14 year old standard poodle right after the holidays and that plus covid, the weather has been too much to handle, really. I know having a new love and a long term project will help me come out of my funk. I might not have time to create my art at first, but I'll be being creative in a way by training this pup to be another amazing friend in life. I can't wait to get my hands on him/her! xoxo
I just wanted to say, thank you. Thank you for these videos, for sharing yourself and your art. Truly, I am grateful. You definitely bring light to the world. Keep shining.
You too Megan 🌷🌷 and thank you ☺️
This was a much needed video right now that I’ve been feeling exhausted and not motivated at all. I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found you. You’re a very real and genuine person and seeing your journey inspires me a whole lot. Thank you for taking the time to create your vids. Stay well 💕
Lovely new space! Your plant looks like a jade plant to me
Love hearing about how other creatives navigate things - I’m an author but so many parts of this resonate. Glad I found your channel ❤️❤️❤️
I love your Peace sign, love your videos, very peaceful and encouraging.
Thank you for the timestamps ... I really appreciate what you had to say about pricing your work and sitting with it for a bit to see if you felt comfortable with it ❤️
It seems that just a little music or youtube ocean sounds would easily block out the noise. The room is absolutely beautiful!
I was listening away ☺️ and then I heard you mention my name, thank you 🙏 that truly brought a warm happy glow, thank you for sharing!
In letting go a void is created that is filled with greater energy that fills our hearts with true love I have discovered xxx
😚😚😚
I love your videos. They are so much more than just showing your artwork. You are a very wise and insightful person. Your videos help with my mental health.
So many soft hugs back to you. Thanks so much for sharing. It's so uplifting to me.
Wonderful to hear that your story about coming back to art after 13 years . It's a inspirational message for me . Spent my career as as an artist , decorative furniture, Canvas landscapes, and salvage art. My studio was at a custom furniture company. In 2012 I had to leave there. Since then I have painted a few canva's but a constant drone of life changing issues have get sidetracking my heart , 2016 Widowhood etc. 💔💔💔 your story gives me such hope, Thankyou ❤️
Thank you for your loveliness. You have great information and you are inspirational. Keep shining!
I am a really new subscriber that happened upon your channel. And I must say I love it, I love you. You are so sweet and engaging. I so love your art I am 69 and have not touched my brushes in years because I had several strokes in 2011. But I want to get back to art. My daughter got me supplies as a surprise and I have recently prepared a small corner in my livingroom. Now I have to find the time as I am a caregiver to my mom in law. You certainly are inspiring, thank you for sharing your thoughts , your art and life. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing ❤️ I love listening to you, it’s like sitting with a friend talking about everyday life and how we manage our days. I have an ”easy” life nowadays as I’m retired since two years, but still I get the ups and downs in energy levels, just as you describe. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone. My creativity is mainly towards fabrics and sewing and I was soo looking forward to have ”all the time in the world” but it’s not that simple, again the energy levels are playing tricks with me. But I have to accept that and be kind to myself ❤️ Love from a snowy Sweden
PS I also like my routines and have my best creative time in the morning, and I also LOVE Paris!
Your videos are a wonderful sunny spot in my life. I think of you as a friend. Sending love and lots of positive energy.
Hi - I am new to your channel - I must say this is the best therapy! Thank you for sharing all that you do, it's a blessing. Best, Kim
Hi Wendy. I'm so pleased that you are feeling better and it's great to see you getting settled in your new space. Thank you so much for answering my question during your Q&A. I tend to time bock too, but will procrastinate about the social media/marketing stuff because I would much rather be painting. I am still trying to find my flow with it. Thank you for your open, honest approach and sharing so generously. Your videos are always inspiring and uplifting. X
Can’t wait to sit with a cuppa and yarn to watch this weekend dear Gypsy 💕💕😘
Universal Energy has been coo coo 😖😳🥺 for the past few weeks. Mercury is going direct soon so we should feel a surge of creative juice soon!!! My mind has been all over the place as well but thank goodness for lists and calendar reminders, right??
Thank you for honest answers and acknowledging to go with our own unique energies and feelings.
Greetings from Western Australia (I was born in Worthing Sussex and came out to Oz when I was 7) I hope you are having a productive blue sky day 🥰 I loved listening to your Q & A. I dont want to take anything away from people who really are suffering from depression it must be an aweful thing and I wish you all the very best, but I do think more people should just admit they are just having a down day without calling it 'depression'. Dont feel guilty about it, we all need recuperation days or have down days. Have a read in bed morning with brekky or a long soak in a bubble bath anytime...but it always feels better at night somehow - maybe the ambience 🙏🌜 Enjoy chocolate without the guilts or a Tim Tam of your favourite flavour (do you have Tim Tams in the UK?) with a hot chocolate or good coffee, nice tea. Go for a long walk if you are able and say hello and smile at strangers - maybe someone else is having a bad day and that could make all of the difference to them too. Hug a tree. Walk along the beach, sit on a rock and 'just be'. Smell a rose..literally!!🌹Or just take a deep breathe and go do something which makes you happy. You cant be everyones all, sometimes you just need a you day. BTW your money tree is called A Jade. Chinese I believe. In feng shui I think you are supposed to have one at the front and back door for luck..but dont quote me on that.🤭
Thank you for giving so much of your day to others you make the world a better place.🙏 I also housesat for 8 years. I travelled to many beautiful places around Australia, met many lovely people and fell in love with dozens or animals🐴🐶🐮🐶🐱🐓🦆🐠. I delivered a lamb🐑, hand fed an apple 🍎to a cow 🐄 and experienced the delight of it licking my hand. I raised a bunch of piglets🐖🐖🐖🐖..its a highlight in my life. Have a lovely day. Oh and I only do RUclips so please dont leave...Im not a FB lover either...it changes people and consumes you.🥰💜😘

Hi.
The little tree like plant in your window is Portacula aria, "Spekboom". It is a succulent that reduces carbon footprints. If every body plant one we can reduce carbon emitions and reduce the ozone layer hole.
Your so up lifting for me.
Thank you for sharing and your valuable advice, inspiration and time.🙏💙
You are so lovely💜 and refreshing🤗 I am so glad that I ran into your channel🌹blessings🤲
Such a lovely way to start my day. :). I'm starting my third painting today and it was great for this little "chat time" with you. Take good care, remember to smile as you make so many others who watch you smile a lot, as well!! xx
Thanks for putting up another video! So comforting to see someone being so authentic on here...it's rare! ♥️ Thanks for the recommendation for glasses, I need some too 🤓 x
I've watched all of your videos... some maybe twice. It's good to see you in your new art palace. You and Fran Meneses have inspired me to take up what i love again. Thank you for being so giving! You make these crazy times a tad bit bearable!
I found your channel just a few days ago and you really resonate with me! I've also felt very weird energy wise these past few months. I guess we all have. Creating, drawing or writing doesn't come easy these days and I really struggle with if I should push through or just let myself rest. It just doesn't turn out as good as it used to. Great video, it's very lovely hearing you talk about these things and answering questions! You have a nice voice to listen to! Hugs from Sweden!
I fly by the seat of my pants as well. You are doing fantastic Wendy! Love, love, love your new space! Keep doing YOU! ❤🙏💐🎨✌
Thank you for sharing your experiences, and being so open in your Q & A, they were so helpful and just down to earth!
Stay safe, Laura x
Hi, Wendy! So excited to browse your shop again. 💘 I also can’t wait for your new videos to come out each week! They actually have become a great therapy for my anxiety that started right before the holidays, and I haven’t quite dug myself out of them yet. I love your long videos, especially, because I can watch bits and pieces of the video throughout the day when I have a few minutes! Thanks again for sharing your story and whimsical creations with us. 💛
Thank you for the big soft hug😌 I needed that. I love your videos. Your work space, lighting, plants, and even sharing how you make your green drinks uplifts me and puts me in a good place. Oh, your little bird that keeps you company, 💚💚🕊. Thanks Wendy.
Can't wait to watch it and take notes of all you have to say about this very challenging thing that is called being and artist! Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you so much for answering my question here! I love these Q & A sessions. I love your little bird visitor, I often feel that wild creatures have a spiritual purpose when they visit us.
Thank you so much for sharing, I cud relate to so much u were saying. You always put me in a good mood especially when I'm now getting ready to go to work. Working in a local food store I've been working through all the lockdowns n it's been very trying at times. I love my days off wen I can lock the world out of my head n just craft. I loved wen u said that u don't switch on any of ur devices. Stay safe n shine bright 🔆 x
You are so right about taking time to rest. Having a chronic condition such as ME/CFS means this is something that is essential for me otherwise I can 'crash' completely. I would advise even people who are fit and healthy to listen to their body otherwise they could end up with burnout or even ME/CFS. Society does not encourage rest. The message is push ourselves no matter what. The general mindset needs to change. Very wise advice, Wendy.
Thank you so much for your wonderful vlogs. You have inspired me to start art journaling again, I’m no expert however I try my best and find it very therapeutic.
I love that you are honest and real in your vlogs, I’m sure many can relate to you, especially in these strange times we are living in. Bless your heart.
And P.S even if you notice a bit of traffic noise now you will eventually not hear it at all. The room looks beautiful too and even on here it gives of a happy vibe.
Lea 😘😘🦋
Thank you so much for sharing. I only recently found you in January and Ive been watching past videos as I paint. Really enjoy listening to you, your voice is so calming and you most definitely speak to things Ive been going through. I really appreciate all you’ve shared , and love your new space! I mostly work in my basement studio and don’t have much natural light, so I adore those windows you have - thank you! Debbie
You’re a pleasure to watch, as always✨✨✨✨ I see your shop is back up!✨🙏🏼❤️✨
Thank you for sharing. It helps me to live my life as an artist. We are The same we all... Creative People... And senitive... I didnt get out of my bed yeasterday.
Rosy from sweden
Thank you so much for... just everything. I've recently found your channel and have been gobbling it up. 💙
Good evening Wendy, always look forward to your video on Friday and thank you for giving such wonderful advice. Big warm hugs and may your light shine bright love Teresa xx
Thank you for blessing us with almost a hour video! Just started watching, already know it's a awesome video
oh gosh, I hope so!! Thank you so much and hope you enjoy xxx
I'm so enjoying your videos. It has inspired me to try doing art journals and getting back into journaling. Here in the US the lockdowns and rules have been so oppressive that one doesn't have much energy to do anything which isn't good so thank you for all your encouragement and your beautiful videos. Personally I think your new studio is stunning and it just has a spirit about it that is so welcoming, light, and inviting for creativity I did notice the traffic going by the first time you made a video from your new studio and was concerned but I also know that you play music often which would mask any noise and we get used to noises to the point we don't ever hear them. I have a very loud clock that chimes on the hour and the half hour but the majority of the time I never hear it because we're so used to it. So I would not worry about the traffic going by. Have a good day!
Thankyou Wendy love your videos. Im having a slump day. But after listening to you I dont feel so bad now. Times are hard so hopefully things will get better. Lots of 💘 love xx
I love your studio so much! Really nice, cozy and feel will get so much inspirations in that environment! ✨
I so look forward to Fridays for your new videos. I love watching you create and just share your life. Love to see you and James together - so much love there!
Awww, TY so much Allie Cat, I'm so happy your are enjoying the videos xxx have a lovely weekend xxx
Hi it’s so great to find someone in the UK I can relate too. When I first tried painting I found several teachers in USA which I really enjoyed & leaned lot from. I still follow them but the only downside is often the products are not available here. Just a silly thing but it was fun to see you bought your mug from Morrisons lol.I’m really enjoying your channel. It was useful to hear that you had taken a duvet day. I learned a few tears ago to listen to my body & how I was feeling. I no longer try & force thing if I feel like I’m walking through mud & instead just take some time out & often find the next day I’m full of energy. Thank you o much 😎
Thank you so much for this Q&A Life is all over the place right now, not feeling creative and I'm a bit off but this really cheered me up and inspired me, thank you s much ❤️
Hi just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your video. You had some really great advice; like the idea of tracing - never thought of that and will definitely try it. I really resinated with that one commenter that said they lacked drawing and painting skills. That's me in a nutshell. I haven't completely given up hope, but for now while I practice and dream, I am having to find other ways to feel creative. In addition to your great collage idea, there is also: jewelry making, polymer clay, rock painting and my personal recent obsession: digital art. I always enjoy your videos. They are very inspiring and I also really enjoy seeing little glimpses of the area in which you work and live. So beautiful!
Thank you so much for willingly sharing your expertise and knowledge. Your advice has helped me countless times as an amateur artist and small business owner. Sending you love ❤️
I always feel better after watching your videos. Your true authentic self just shines through like a star. It’s refreshing to be reminded of the routine I got myself out of during a year of grieving for my brother. He passed away right before the pandemic hit from cancer at 46 yrs old sometimes it’s really hard to get inspired to do my art. I like how you say it takes a long time for your completed art work. That’s something I get down on myself when I stop a painting that was going so good, I guess I lost interest but I become hard on myself thinking I failed it or just gave up. I’m getting better not to replay old self sabotage words to myself but it’s just gonna take practice. It’s lovely to watch videos of someone I have so many similarities with. That’s really cool! I have a James as well, lol 😂 26 years together. Crazy! He’s not tech savvy but electrical construction that’s helpful too. I love writing in my journal but never thought to add art to it. I love how you do yours. I’ll definitely check out the patreon classes. I’m signing up for pottery class to play a little. Love learning new things! Thanks for your lovely spirit and talks that inspire me. ❤️
Hello, I'm fairly new to your channel and am enjoying visiting all your videos from the last year that so help me with my own motivation and being kind to myself as a creative. You come across as a gentle and loving soul. Thank you for making these videos and giving us all a peek into your studio and your life.
The light in your new room is so beautiful.
Your new space is great, I'm sure it's feels good to walk in there and get creative. Wishing you a lovely Imolc season.
Your channel is one of the few that I watch the entire video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts & art. The plant you showed is a jade plant. I have a few and they're very easy to propagate new plants from the individual leaves that might fall off. I love your new studio.
I so needed to watch your video today. Loved every minute of it and look forward to the next.
Love this video, Wendy.
So happy that your shop is back open, purchased some items and looking forward to displaying them in my new craft space when we finish our renovations.
Thanks for all the wonderful words of wisdom and encouragement. Hugs and brightness sent your way from Australia 🇦🇺💜😊
Ty so much Tracy 🌷🌷😚
Thank you so much for another wonderful comforting and insightful video! I agere with you that a good night’s sleep makes a huge difference in our well-being! Like you I also have trouble sleeping through the night. Sending hugs back to you.❤️❤️❤️🙏🌈
Thank you for this video. It was lovely company while I was working in my journals. And as always so informative, inspiring and uplifting! Shine bright 🧡
This video was great Wendy because I’m really having lockdown fatigue today which is not quite the blues but I’ve got not motivation or energy. All the things you talked about were just so relevant to how I’m feeling right now! So I’m giving myself permission to lie in bed and watch your videos!
You are thank you for your honest view of how life is on a daily basis. I do believe one needs to care for the ups and downs. embracing oneself when necessary. Recognizing it and honoring it. It is never that easy of course. I do like the energy when I watch and listen to your videos. I discovered you only a few months ago. Take care; from Canada.
Wonderful vlog as always. 😊 Thank you for sharing your kind, creative energy with all of us💛
Thank you! I have a near term to use...a Duvet Day! So glad your new space gives you new energy.
I love that name 😄
Loved your episode. Your such a calming influence. Thank you 😊
I just love your videos. The new studio is very beautiful. And so are you ❤️
Thank you for my cozy morning! Something I've added to my morning routine is -- candles. Actually, I burn them almost all day long! It really makes me feel hugged!
I am so loving your channel, you're so inspirational to me. Now if only I could squeeze in a little art time! xx
I really enjoyed this video. 15 years ago I let go of a marriage and many possessions and the world opened up to me. And I remarried to a wonderful man. So I agree let go when you need to. I also do my mixed media art in the morning and my Etsy and Ebay in the afternoon. I find that Instagram is really good for me to promote my art work. Instagram really caters to pics. So I have set up a beautiful gallery of my work on Instagram. And then I refer people to my Etsy. Again really enjoyed this discussion. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
I love your new studio. The windows and light is amazing!
Always take a " Self Love " day...make time for You ..
I look forward to all your videos! I am glad to hear that you got a good rest. I hope it keeps going !! I loved the painting of the little bird friend.
Love your new room/space
Covid is affecting me too .. all the time I have a bubbling sadness lurking! Doesn’t help I’m having a few health issues and it’s making me quite anxious anyway.
Love your videos and as always really relaxing to watch u 🌟
Your channel is one of the best channels on RUclips.
oh my goodness, TY so much Jeshlin xxx
This was a great video. Thank you Wendy.❤
