I was a chef for 20 years, but I lost my taste buds to cancer treatment. I paint now, and its paid all my bills since year one, and I am ALL OVER THE MAP, but I think this is the best advice I have ever heard. Thank you

This was a relief to hear. I’m definitely all over the map. I’ve been watercolour painting for 11 months and absolutely love the activity of painting. But I don’t LOVE any one of my paintings yet and I don’t think anyone else has LOVED any of it either. So I will take the pressure off myself and just keep trying lots of different subjects and styles! Thank you!!

[sharongillesp]

Your advice has me planning for a subject I’ve always enjoyed painting but it wasn’t part of my single over-all style. . . I’ve actually been holding myself back. Your advice makes so much sense. The common sense that’s so uncommon😊

[constancymulenga]

Phew. The pressure to stick to one style can be overwhelming and confusing. It's a relief to know that it's okay for me to explore my different styles. Very helpful. Thanks alot for these insights.

[Theimpromptulife]

I completely agree, create create create and also makes making art very fun. Creating a lot of different work can also help you get better and better. I think you start to gravitate too towards that that you just love.

Only half way through your video and all the time you have been talking I haven’t been able to take my eyes off the setting sun in the snowy forest. This is the first of your videos I have seen. I hope you have many more to see.

[DonnaVarno]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think I have been the "poster child" of being all over the board. I'm so happy that I never stopped searching. I will continue to experiment until I find that success. You are very encouraging. Thank you!

[ogkanobi]

Thank you! Reminds me of the time a good artist friend of mine said listen to all advice, but don't accept all of it. Find your own way along with others help.

[tiffanycerasoli]

Thanks for this. I’ve been hearing stick with one medium/ one subject for a while. I find it depressing and stifling.
I’m only now selling my work and like you said it’s all over the place. I’m excited to see where it goes.

I don't even try to make a living with my photography as most people don't have a clue as to anything when it comes to art. I do it for me...end of story. If I wanted to make money I would become a plumber.

[betsi_jae]

Great advice! It's so important to experiment. Even when you find your "art style", it's still a good idea to keep experimenting. You never know what wonderful new things you'll discover.

[JoeHiltabidel]

I used to “cater” to what the public was interested in… but when I started making what makes me happy, I sell infinitely more and get accepted into infinitely more high-end art festivals.

[artmanhal]

Congratulations on your well-earned success. And thank you for telling this inspiring story.
I am grateful.

What a great encouragement this is for me. I have been a mixed media artist who often have gifted my work as personalized cards to friends, family, patients, nursing home residents. Due to the inability to handle skin contact with certain materials after battling stage 4 cancer, I took a deep breath and tried watercolor painting and converting them to cards. My recipients inevitably time and again frame and keep these pieces. For the first time I am finding “ my voice” and yes I go all over the map. It depends on how I feel and what inspires me. It is often landscapes, sometimes whimsical, sometimes atmospheric ( which really speaks back to me.) I do not have a studio space. I have a 2 ft. X 2 ft. End of my butcher block island counter where I do my drive by paintings. By that I mean I set my station up with the size paper ( always cotton) and sometimes in a block form, the colors that currently inspire me and any additional tools, masking fluid, natural sponges, plastic store cards cut up, water jars, and brushes. Then I start with the process and usually work on it in 5 to ten minute increments through the day. After I THINK I am finished I put it in a display area I pass by and may add additional elements like boats, people, birds, houses, trees etc. before I finish with by sealing with Dorlands wax and make a card and envelope. I don’t know if I will ever sell these but for now…. it bring me and my recipients joy and I don’t have a stock of little paintings filling my 1000 sq. ft. cabin home. And I am really enjoying this medium. Thanks for contributing to my education.👩🏼‍🎨💠🌈

It's why i love mixed media so much. I can switch up my style often w/in it because that's what you can get away w/.
I can go from charcoal/yarn/sculpting paint to ink/cloth/ modeling clay to digital/yarn/roving. So many styles to express yourself w/, & it keeps people on their toes wondering what you'll do next.

And i have to thank my art professor for this because his class was teaching us students to explore different mediums to find the one that suits us & the public at the same time. If it wasn't for him, I would just be doing painting like everyone else when that's not my style. 2D mixed with 3D is.

[ErichMillerTV]

Amazing advice! As a fellow artist, I've been exploring different painting styles for 4-5 years. Interestingly, I found a niche in pet portraits, which brought in some sales. I'm still on a quest to discover that captivating style that makes people say, 'I NEED THAT PAINTING!' Your insights are invaluable. I've subscribed and am eagerly awaiting your future videos!

[zzdogger]

Maybe I've been doing it right all along...

I jump between sketching, doodling, sculpting, writing, cyanotype, assemblage, pewter casting, bismuth art, beading/jewelry making, sewing, prototyping/3D modeling/3D printing, woodworking, metalworking, freaking diy pyrotechnics...

I have a feeling that eventually I'll land on some subset of one of these crafts to pay most of the bills, but until then I'm offering some of everything!
I just love to teach my hands new tricks.

[azwheeling]

Holy cow! Those 2 paintings in the background of this video are the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen! The winter scene with the birch trees and the sun peeking through brought me back to my childhood. I could not quit staring at it. You sir are a GREAT artist!!

[tatianacashon]

Thank you SO MUCH for this validation. The only information I have ever come across says stick with one style, but in my heart, I just felt like that would be a mistake, and a miserable one at that. I believed it would lead to burnout, rather than success. You are the first person to ever confirm this, and fill in the missing piece that the public would determine the style by giving an over the top reaction to it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being the first profesional giving artists the permission to paint it all. God bless you and your work

[valasafantastic]

Great advice and those paintings in the background are gorgeous they have a beautiful sense of light and depth.
