Art residencies will have us believe we need to be chosen just to be able to focus on our work. But most of us are far from being able to embark on an official art retreat, so. How about we create our own artist residency?
I've come up with 3 simple steps to help you have a great, productive, and fulfilling artist residency in the comfort of your own home. This video is for any creator who wants to be productive, but can't participate in an actual art residence - no matter the reason.

Reminder: you don't need anyone to 'pick' you in order to create the work you want to make.

PS: I meant to publish this video in late July, but then I hated it so I didn't. Hence the time discrepancy ;) In the end, I decided that it wasn't actually that bad and that I could bear having it up on the channel. Tl;dr creating stuff is weird and hard, and if you're reading this, leave a horse emoji in the comments xx

💕 WHO ARE YOU?
Hey, my name is Marianne - I'm a self-taught artist and art lover currently recovering from a "if I don't know how to do it, I won't try" mentality. Because art is all about experimentation, and treating your ideas with curiosity and respect - so that's what I'm practising these days. On this channel, I want to share excitement for art-making, but also art-loving: there are so many awesome people and works to fall in love with in the world. I hope you stick around and share your own art loves with us! :)
