Could you do a video on the business side of selling art such as taxes, organizing, financial advice or things you wish you could do over as someone who’s considering g selling their art? Congrats on your new baby btw!
The fact you didn't go to art school is so inspiring, because I do not have opportunity to go to art school, but art is something I want to do for the rest of my life. :))
Love listening to you 💕 love your voice 😊 it’s hard getting started as an artist but I think you gave great advice. I find that social media is huge for selling my artwork.
I am a newer subscriber, and I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you for your videos, advice, encouragement, and the opportunity to see your beautiful paintings! God has blessed you with an amazing talent!
Thanks again, Katie! can't understand anyone putting a dislike on any of your videos. The part where you said about the right side of the brain drawing book was good was great to hear as I have just bought those but by a different author and the techniques really build confidence and make so much sense. Keep up your fab work. Love everything you do and learn so much from you x
If you have to compare yourself to someone else, just see what you can learn instead of thinking your work is inferior. And while I'm at it, let me say this. You are absolutely charming! Pretty, well spoken and a great artist! That all helps when pursuing an art career! I paint only for myself and sell a painting now and then without marketing, just to FB friends (about 12 paintings so far). I get a few commissions here and there, but I don't want to make a living selling paintings at this point. But I have so many, I think I'm going to need to sell them, donate for auctions or gift them!
Katie what an amazing video! It was so informational and wow I can see the change in you! If I'm not wrong, whenever you talked about abstract work or acrylic painting, you literally showed that you were happy! I loved the part where you said, "if it sells, it sells and if it doesn't, it doesn't..." An art career should come organically and I really appreciate that! P.S: I didn't know you were married for 7 years. Did I miss that in your other videos??? 😱 Hugs to youuu and uhhh you have grown soooo much since the times you were doing ocean pieces.
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot just listening to your advices 😊 you really have a way with words, you explain things so well and are very articulate. Oh, and I love that painting in the background. It reminds me of being beside a peaceful river scene 😊 more power to you and your channel. You are such a blessing andbinspiration to so many of us! 😘😘
Hi Katie... Thank you so much for this fantastic Q&A. It is very generous of you to share your thoughts and you come across as a very intelligent and caring person. PS... Your UA-cam videos are amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for the Videos you post! In particular your Peony tutorial. Watching your painting process inspired me and gave me confidence to finally get started. The result... Painting makes me so happy that I wonder why I waited so long!!! I even started drawing again! So I just wanted to let you know that you inspired a budding artist in Canada and that I am genuinely grateful to you. (I also really love your work) Thank you again!
That’s a good question! I usually write a few paragraphs about who I am, what I make, why I make it and how. Then take a break and come back to it another day. Fresh eyes help 😄👍🏻 then condense it down into a few sentences. This helps me so hopefully it might help you too 🌸✨
I am LOVING all the videos coming our way! You have inspired me to pick up painting again and for that, I am so incredibly grateful! Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us! :)
Meyra I agree.. More flower and beach!!! I've been struggling with a rose for days.. It seemed so easy in my head but it's not leaving the ugly stage lol
Lol, I know the feeling! I have a canvas standing on my easel right now that I have painted over with titanium white because I grew so sad and frustrated with how badly this abstract rose bouquet was going! I love Katie's style so much but it's hard to do something similar by just looking at a photo :(
Meyra lol yep I have a rose on my drafting table and my intention was to use ultra violet with green.. I fussed with it three times... As of today it's white too.. I just finished actually... So funny how artists minds think so much alike!!!
Cristy Smith Ooooh I love violet! I'm really sorry, here's hoping we both get to make something awesome next! I have actually just started doing Katie's seascape tutorial!
Thank you Katie for your honesty and transparency. I often binge watch your videos😃, and even sometimes have them in the background as I paint away 🌸🙏🏼🌸 I do prophetic art. Have you ever tried prophetic art...? Also, would you mind sharing which movie editing software do you use...? Thank you lovely, your videos are so calming to me, you are very inspirational 🌹💜 Bless you, your family and your art 🎨🙏🏼🎨
Thanks for doing this video. Your advice on pricing artwork and how to approach galleries is very helpful. I've only decided to get back into drawing and painting since last year when I discovered you and some other artists on youtube which has inspired me even more to get back into art. But like you I really need to practice my drawing skills before I can even consider painting. Also what do you think about beginners entering artwork in an art show? Thanks for sharing
Ur such an inspiration. love your hair color! 😍 I use metal palette knife, it’s the best! I’ve used plastic before but to me it’s just too flimsy. Love ur videos, keep them coming!
I've just got back into art again, my husband has been really supportive and encouraging with it. My only problem is I didn't know which direction to head in. I do graphite and colour pencil as well as I love painting but haven't done it in a while. I draw/paint from portraits to other objects and I'd really like to make a career though how do I select a medium or a topic or could I use them all?
How do you break the barrier of being creative, to just do what feels good without worrying about other's opinions or whether it's goin to turn out good? I feel like this is what stops me from being creative.
so to take the step to sell, #1 is hit up galleries?? that would give you a lot of good feedback, in responses.. can you send photos? call, e-mail? if it's not possible to attend to that in person for some reason
Quick question: Have people bought more of your prints or do they tend to buy originals? I just don't want to invest in the prints if most people would rather buy an original... Thanks.
Hi Katie ,I'm a budding artist coming from a background of hair and nail artist and generally always loved creating. Currently studying art and design degree . Always loved the idea of creating videos ,just wondering if you make money from you tube much or is it more the making art that your income comes from? X
i'm a fledgling affiliate marketer. I don't compose art but I greatly enjoy it. Do you know how lucrative art is in on the market? I have my bare bone site up but have yet gotten any artwork to sell.
I can't find the book you referenced, do you mind sharing the titel and author again? Thanks so much Katie you are my inspiration to pick up my brush and to create again!!! Love you so much!
Why don't you finish a painting once you start it? I don't have any unfinished painting lying around. Well, not entirely true, if I'm having a hard time with something, I will let it go for a couple of day, paint something else and finish it, and then go back to it. Just curious.
Thanks! I love your channel! I have a question. I'm wondering what program you use to edit your videos. I've been using iMovie, but I'd like to do more with graphics and fonts.
Thanks Jennifer! Yes I also use iMovie. It's limited but with a bit of creative thinking you can do more with it 😀 there's plenty of UA-cam videos out there showing how to add graphic overlays etc. Just have a play 👍🏻
How do you get prints made...my paintings are in pastel and cant go through a roller printer..all printers I’ve contacted in my area have a roller it has to go through...i have acrylics but the are stretched on frame so they can’t go through the roller. I want a good size print , like 28 by 22 but i don’t know what camera is high enough resolution for that...any advice on the topic appreciated -amber
Could you do a video on the business side of selling art such as taxes, organizing, financial advice or things you wish you could do over as someone who’s considering g selling their art? Congrats on your new baby btw!
Without your inspiration, Katie, I would never have started painting. Thank you. :)
Wow that’s amazing! Enjoy😄
Thank you so much for all your videos!! As someone who has just found their love for painting they are an absolute lifesaver 💛💛
Yay I love this! So great. Thanks for watching!
So spot on, encouraging, relatable and inspiring. Thank you for sharing Katie!
The fact you didn't go to art school is so inspiring, because I do not have opportunity to go to art school, but art is something I want to do for the rest of my life. :))
Love listening to you 💕 love your voice 😊 it’s hard getting started as an artist but I think you gave great advice. I find that social media is huge for selling my artwork.
What a gorgeous top, and your hair is so flowy and shiny as well 😍😍 thanks for the amazing advice, gonna listen to this while painting 💕
I am a newer subscriber, and I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you for your videos, advice, encouragement, and the opportunity to see your beautiful paintings! God has blessed you with an amazing talent!
I am so thankful I found you on UA-cam Katie! This is fantastic thank you 😍
hi again Katie1 I bought 'Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" about 30 years ago. I still have it!
Thanks again, Katie! can't understand anyone putting a dislike on any of your videos. The part where you said about the right side of the brain drawing book was good was great to hear as I have just bought those but by a different author and the techniques really build confidence and make so much sense. Keep up your fab work. Love everything you do and learn so much from you x
Thank you Katie, that was excellent information. And honest too, alot of what you said I knew but had forgotten! Good to be reminded. Love your videos
You can not imagine how much this video helped me right now! Thank you so much, Katie. You're amazing. Love you and your videos.
Yay that’s so great to hear! Thank you ☺️

I can't draw for nothing but give me a paintbrush and the same cup or etc could just come alive.

Nevermind I just found it!!!!
Wow, you never went to art school? You're so talented and down with all the terms, I assumed you had. Such a brilliant, lovely young lady.
Why don't you finish a painting once you start it? I don't have any unfinished painting lying around. Well, not entirely true, if I'm having a hard time with something, I will let it go for a couple of day, paint something else and finish it, and then go back to it. Just curious.
Very enjoyable video, also twitch has helped me build an audience in addition to UA-cam and Instagram 💕🌈✨
That’s awesome! Thanks so much 🙌🏻🌸
