Thank you! I enjoy meeting you and have learned already a bit about where to start. I have always shed away from being a pro artist as a solo income because it is so intimidating, and has always sounded hard to make realistic. But I appreciate your go-for-it attitude and I can see it being actually possible for myself because you are sharing your journey. Wishing you many blessings!

I'm a beginner at 67, love your work it inspires me. The only down-put for me is SPEED PAINTING. Regards

Oh wow well done! That's amazing. Have fun with it!

Lots of good tips here! I'm just starting out selling my art. Mostly watercolor prints and originals right now. I kind of bounce around with subjects and styles. I do it because it's my passion and I'm not worried about becoming rich off of it. As long as I can create and pay my bills I'm good.

I've only just started. I've always loved art but I never thought I would ever be good at it. I started a few sketches last week and people close to me like friends and family, love them. I want to start painting, I would love to create something beautiful and have it go out in the world and brighten up someone's life. I don't know if I'll ever be good enough to make a career out of it, I would also feel scared and for lack of a better term, embarrassed I guess to ask money for anything I end up creating.. But I do hope to continue enjoying the process and just getting better as I go along. I've watched most of your tutorials and just love the way you approach each piece, it's like each one has a special meaning to you and that's amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing with us. x

Just discovered you! Where have I been?? Your work is alive and vibrant. Your Peony touches me in such an inspiring way. Haven't painted in 25 years and have picked it back up only a year ago. It's so encouraging to know the seed is still there, it just needed to be watered again!!!! Your sincerity as an artist comes through and watered my garden too!

Aww wow thank you for such a beautiful comment! Great to hear you've taken painting up again, and I hope you carry on enjoying it! I think once the seed is there it never leaves :)

Thank u so much for all ur vids Katie. You're such an inspiration! Ur right about friendships, the ones who really love u will stick around.

Excellent Katie! Thank you so much. Your inspiration is so wonderful.

This is my first time commenting on your videos, and I feel like I should after watching so many of them~ You've given me great advice about starting my own art career, and I'm really thankful to you~! Like you said, it'll take 2 + years before I am "where I want to be", and that's okay with me. You inspire me to keep going! Thank you, Katie!

Katie, I loved your video!!! Your artwork is so fresh and spontaneous, it's just a joy to see. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Please keep the videos coming ❤️ you’ve given me some great motivation and inspiration to put my creative hat back on. Your advice has been so valuable and actionable. Thanks Katie

Art is a brand new thing in my life. Just two months ago I bought some pencils and some paints and started playing. I have had a great time, ruined a lot of paper, a few canvases and run through my first complete tube of paint (titanium white of course). By reading a lot, watching the videos posted by yourself and some other artists, I have learned so much! I don't know if my work will ever be good enough to sell - that would be lovely of course- but the pleasure I take in the creation is intensely rewarding. Thank you for your generosity in posting tutorials from which absolute beginners such as myself can learn and gain confidence.

You are SUCH a breath of fresh air! I'm just starting to sell my paintings and your videos have helped me sooo much. I began posting my artwork on Facebook and got a positive response from so many people that it really encouraged me to do more with my painting. I truly enjoy all of your videos! So glad I ran across you!

I think that's awesome advice. Thank you for the encouragement !

Thank you so much for this video! I’m an artist trying to go full time right now... slowly but surely, but your advice and thoughts are invaluable- please keep going with more! 👩🏼‍🎨

Hi Katie! I just want to say thank you for all your advice and tips and motivation! You've really helped me when I'm doubting myself. 😊

I think it is wonderful how you have such supportive family. They must be very proud of you 😉

This was such an awesome post! I have been painting professionally for 15 years, but the marketing and selling of my work has always freaked me out. Thanks for this. It really got my head in the right direction.

I'm so glad I stumbled on this channel! I'm trying to get back into art alongside my day job and hopefully make it into a small income stream in the future. Gonna binge watch the rest of your videos now, thank you for putting all the time and effort into sharing your wisdom here :)

Thank you Katie, this video has been so helpful to me!! you have given me the boost I need to keep going and to get me work out there! Penny xx

I thaught I have to give up and than I saw your videos the pictures are soooo beautiful (you too)and you gave me inspiration .I only want to say THANKYOU!!!

HI! Your paintings are so beautiful and your talks so inspiring. I`ve just started painting. You are so helpful.

thankyou for your positive creative voice. I am a professional artist and do struggle in my mind between the commercial route and the more personal route it was great to hear your courage in following your own path in art, well done.

You’re so inspiring just wish I’d started earlier always loved drawing and painting from being young but fairly new to social media but your tips are wonderful thank you xx

I just wanted to say that I enjoy your channel so much! I've been looking and looking for well filmed, artsy videos for inspiration and pure entertainment and you match that to a "T". You are such a lovely person and your work is beautifully wonderful! Please, Please continue making more videos and keep up such amazing work! So glad I found your channel today!

Your videos are so motivating, even though I paint in a different way. After watching it I always war to start a new painting

You are so inspiring and the sweetest person ever!

Some really good tips. I'm wanting to start painting again and potentially sell some and enter in art competitions. That was good advice on how to price artwork, I'll be keeping that in mind as I'm only at the beginning

I share my art on Instagram and always was thinking about making an etsy shop and now I'm really sure about it! thanks for this video! :)

As soon as I saw your tutorial on ocean painting, I fell in love with your technique, your personality, style etc. And i absolutely love the colors you use! Did you teach yourself how to paint or did you go to school for it?

Aw, you are so humble and adorable! Glad I found you.....I'm a fellow artist in Canada :) New subbie! 🙋

You are awesome, Katie! I've passed many years searching THE THING to work. I did college (Literature, Physics and Philosophy) but now I find myself in Art and Design. Is really hard for me 'cause here in Brazil the stereotype of being an artist is terrible (you're going to be poor, that's not even a job, etc.) I'm trying to get this thougth out of my head but it always confuses me. Sorry my english, hope u understood what I said. Your videos are always wonderful! Thanks for each advice!!

Thanks for the video, Katie. I am one of those people who is just interested in everything, and would get bored doing the same thing all the time. My art is inspired by a number of different things, and I work in lino, acrylics and oils. If I had to choose one way of working to create a 'brand', I'm not sure yet which way I would go! I wonder if and when I'll have to make that decision. Love all your sites, and check them out quite regularly. :)

I totally understand exactly what you mean. I still feel as though I'm working on my brand and feel it takes years. I seem to work in collections now which has helped bring meaning and structure to all my works, as each collection has a theme. It just helps people understand what you're trying to 'say' as an artist. Thank you Sarah, hope you're keeping well x

Hi Katie! Yes I'm well, and hope you are too! I've only just seen your comments on KZread. I imagine there is a notification that tells you if you have messages, but not found where that is yet. I just stumbled across your replies. Collections are probably the way forward for me, but I do have two that I'm working on at the same time... Thanks for the advice and encouragement! I love following what you are doing. x

I've just started experimenting with other techniques I've seen other artists use. I love oil painting and trying to develop it with other things I want to try. Making videos showing that process now! Although, the resolution on the last video wasn't great. Don't know if you, or Katie, or anyone can suggest how to improve it?! It's very annoying when you've put all that effort in into making a KZread video, then once you've uploaded it the picture quality isn't great. :(

you are so adorable and amazing artist, it may sound weird but you look very huggable :3

Hi I am wondering if you could tell me what tools do you use for signing your signature on your paintings? Also forgot to say you've inspired me to start painting so thank you as well ;)

i am pretty good and i am 12 ( i love all your videos!)

Love your work.You are so generous...What accent is that? I also have an interest in linguistics :)

Very very nice

you is so creative lady and which study course you do for make beautiful paintings. you are so creative and i am from india

How do you decide how to price your work? Ohhh...you just answered that in the video. ;)

not only are you beautiful but a great Artist. God was having a great day when he made you

U r very beautiful..I like ur face ..u r very cure and kind ..

Hi have you studied art in art college or self learnt

How did you cover your living expenses in the first two years? Always interesting to hear the creative stories about how people pay their rent or mortgage when they start out. Love your paintings.
