    I found this out recently too. I started to do in person events and some were amazing and others I sold NOTHING and that tore me very hard. Those moments I wanted to throw in the towel and forgot about the good moments and the amazing sales and the amazing support from people who love my art. Again so happy for you, your career and your new family member. 😊

    I love your video. I can so relate! I sold out of art calendars last year, people were asking for more. I printed more for this year so everyone could get one. Sold half and crickets…..ANYONE want a 2025 calendar? Also love your Tik Tok purchase review. I have purchased a few things, it’s definitely hit or miss!!! Thank you for your honest experiences as an artist!❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you for such a great and honest video about the ups and downs of art. Also, I haven’t laughed out loud so hard in a long time over the baby clothes.😂Best of luck with everything.

    Hah , I like how real and honest you are. I grew up in a house of 9 ladies and you were just being real here. Nothing held back and so funny. I'm only learning to be an artist but I'm having fun. I love the crow/bird painting above your sofa. Congrats on making a fun size Kayla !!!

    • @KaylaCarlileArt

      Haha thank you so much! Art should be about having fun anyways 🎨 Lol, the painting was a collaboration with my son. We joke about how ugly it is now

    Thnx for just being you...always refreshing and you make me laugh. I'm at the very beginning of my art business journey, having made $0 so far...but keep telling myself I'm proud of the efforts I've made (just because curling up in a ball and cry won't help me much now would it?!). If your pregnant brain allows (trust me, I know the pregnant brain well, done it 5 times) I'd love to see a video on how the freak someone can market their work. Marketing for artists for dummies (or pregnant women, lol).

    I enjoyed your ramble! I feel like we’re friends now lol. Thanks for highlighting that it’s not always this perfect picture. I learned a lot this past year as far as navigating ups and downs. Good to know that even when I “make it”, I’ll have to keep that in perspective.

    I’m being such a creeper with the 3rd comment in the first 2 minutes but your personality is just so charming and fun!

    It's okay...In the last 3 months the people were busy fighting over election drama and then crying through the holiday season. Your Art would probably make them feel better and ain't nobody care about that 😅
    Hope the streak is resumed soon!! All the best.

    Maybe the underwater portraits have run its course, maybe you should start a new series.... Just a suggestion. Collectors can be so fickle.

      Babies are a blessing
      So many can’t have them and so many abort them.
      You’re second pregnancy always makes you get the bump faster. The muscles are stretched from the first
      I would love to see a video explaining how you paint top to bottom almost like it is coming out of a printer. Yes you’re very talented.

    Girl what you sayin'??? How do you get paid from reels on Instagram??? Or is it only in US? I'm in Europe and I've been checking it all the time it says there's no way to get paid on Instagram unless you do a sponsorship 😮

    • @KaylaCarlileArt
      @KaylaCarlileArt  15 днів тому

      That’s so strange, when I click on my “professional dashboard”, one of the options is “Bonuses” 😳 Maybe it’s just the US? No idea

    • @TheSlavicGoddesss
      @TheSlavicGoddesss 15 днів тому

      @KaylaCarlileArt No such thing for the European version. But we can pay an ad to Instagram so they can promote our reels for which we aren't going to get paid or anything like that but we will just reach more people 😆

    • @cordialgreetingsart
      @cordialgreetingsart 15 днів тому

      I don’t have Bonuses on my IG reels. 😢 Do you have to have a set amount of followers? I am in the USA.

      Okay I researched it and this is what Google says: “ To be eligible, creators must meet certain criteria, including: Having a professional Instagram account, Publishing original content, Having a minimum number of views on their reels, and Not being an aggregator account.”
      I didn’t realize it was so uncommon ☹️☹️

    • @cordialgreetingsart

      @ I lack the views & follower count. Womp, womp … as a small biz account.😒
