Hello, I hope you are doing well. There's a lot of sickness going around, so I am writing this whilst my littlest rests on the sofa as she is unwell with a fever, and it pours with rain outside - it feels like winter has come early this year! However, it's been quite good to press pause and allow myself to rest too… I have been doing a bit of painting at my kitchen table, finishing some work and creating a ‘Friday mini artwork’ - which are available on my stories on Friday. I've also had a chance to think about more offerings for artists, which you can read about below!
Many people who follow me are not just interested in buying my art but are artists themselves. So I wanted to share an exciting new offering that I have just added to my Substack for those who would like to support me whilst learning from me - either because you have found value in my content on Instagram in the past or you are looking to elevate your practice.
For the price of no more than a couple of coffees a month ($5.50usd), I'm now offering the opportunity of a subscription designed exclusively for creators and artists. This subscription aims to help your artistic growth by providing a wealth of benefits, including tips and tricks, engaging Instagram prompts and story ideas, access to high-quality reference photos (which will be updated each time I send a newsletter), and knowledge from my personal experience as an artist.
Instagram is unpredictable, and it can be challenging for people to see my posts or find a previous post containing valuable content. With Substack, all the posts I share will be easy to find and access, and I'll be able to share these offerings in much more depth and detail, such as in the form of videos, downloads and discussions.
As soon as you've subscribed, you can download and save a PDF of 30 days of Instagram post ideas, a PDF of a week of story ideas, and a PDF studio planner. You'll also see a post containing 5 high-quality reference photos that you can use to create art from. I will be continually adding to these offerings, so I have no doubt that you'll find a lot of value in this subscription!
(There is also an option for being a 'founding member' where you also get a Zoom coaching call with me)
I have also listed four new works to my website, please take a look here:
Below are some words for you if you’re an artist and need a bit of gentle encouragement:
For no reason other than she’s cute, here’s a pic of Flora, my little studio buddy with her very fancy water glass!
Thank you for reading, let me know how things are going in your studio, I love hearing from you!
