FULL TIME ARTIST MAKING A LIVING - pricing, marketing and selling my art plus mental health Q&A

Video Description

Full-time artist - making a living, low productivity, selling, marketing and pricing artwork, as well as mental health and well-being topics which are so relevant right now during the lockdown times. I made this video over the last 2 weeks to answer as many of your questions as possible. And, during this time, I have been having a very bumpy ride with lots of ups and downs. Even days where I have just given myself complete permission to stay in bed all day to recharge my energy levels. I hope you are doing ok out there, or something even better. I'm sending so much love and big soft virtual hugs, especially soft during these weird, unsettling days. Having this YouTube community right now is really helping me not feel so alone in all this, so thank you so much for being here and keeping me in such good company. As always, thanks so much for watching, Loads of love Wendy Xx PS.
