It's strange to admit that as a full time artist, I'm not able to paint or create art every single work day. I used to feel guilty about this and would stress myself out to set aside creative time on top of video editing and art shop upkeep. The reality is that there are a lot of different aspects to life as a full time artist that I didn't expect. I enjoy them, but it took some time to set realistic expectation on what I could get done during a work day. Now, I aim to get one painting done a week which can translate to one to three days of actual painting. In this vlog, I'll be finishing up an oil painting portrait, creating an urban watercolor painting from my trip to Rome, practicing the piano, and visiting a local art museum!

This type of consistent (not daily) art practice has been working the best for my career and life right now! It takes a lot of pressure off myself and allows me to really enjoy my painting days when I get them. I hope you're able to find a balance that works for you too!
